Character History
Growing up in Syliras was hard for Kaeson. Young Kaeson was extremely curious, constantly asking why and how come in an attempt to understand the fascanting world around him. Eventually this drive for knowledge led him to magic, and Kaeson discovering the unfortunate views most Sylirans have towards magic and those who use it.
After being refused by many of the cities more pronounce wizards, Kaeson finally managed to get a book on basic animating principles. While it wasn't the apprenticeship young Kaeson had hoped for, the book guided him through many a failure until he successfully managed to animate a toy soldier. Though his grandmother intialy discourage his growing interest in the magic, Kaeson had shown an incredible aptitude for animation so instead she fostered his growing talent.
Kaeson's grandmother, Laura Dakano, a master herbalist and graduate of the renowned University of Zeltiva, raised him as his parents left soon after Kaeson's birth, never to return. While Laura managed to instill some knowledge of the healing art into young Kaeson, she saw his true passion in his animations, crude and clumsy as they were. She arranged for a year long apprenticeship with a Animator in Sylira as a present for his 16th birthday, a way for him to improve on his natural talents. Unfortunately, Laura Dakano died a season after Kaeson started his apprenticeship, moving Kaeson to quit his apprenticeship early and start his travels.
Since then he has never really stayed in one place for very long, seeking out a place to improve his abilities and to call home. He has apprentice for various blacksmiths and wizards along the way, but never sticking around to make much of an impression.
