Editing Light-weaver

Back to [[Solve_For_Ex]]
*'''Light-Weaver'''
*Caste: Twilight
*Concept: Idealistic Sorcerer
*''Light-weaver seems young, almost child-like at the first glance- until you look more closely. There's an faint tint to his skin and flecks of gold in his eyes that seem entirely strange, and faint lines give the impression of age beginning to wear. He is tall, but not of spectacular strength- though not as weak as a scholar of his stature would be expected to be. He ordinarily wears light robes of the local culture, but never those of the Varang.''
=Motivation=
*Find the true nature of harmony and make Creation be in perpetual alignment with it.

=Anima=
A shimmering weave of light seems to coalesce around Light-weaver, weakening all blows of fate. The anima determines his name, as his old one was destroyed by the Varangian astrologers when he defied them.

(If I understand combos correctly, I don't *have* to use Whirlwind Armor-Donning Prana every time I use this combo, but I need to be able to pay its cost (i.e, have one mote of essence). If that's not correct, let me know and I'll change it).

=History=
From birth, Light-weaver was destined by the astrologers of the Varang to be one of the greatest scholars of the age- born to a family of scholars of excellent pedigree in Yang. He grew up within the system, largely unquestioning of his privilege and the astrological rules that governed the lives of all around him, until one day he found a book, hidden deep within one of the oldest libraries in Yang. It was a history of the first years of Varang, and it described a society completely different than the one he lived in- outright defiant of the stars, without castes, and practicing a strange art in the name of the Unconquered Sun- yet still harmonious. But when he tried to withdraw the book for further study, the keepers of the library attempted to destroy it. Outraged, and without any power to call on within Varang, Light-weaver called on the Unconquered Sun- and light burst from his forehead, warding it against the flames of the false keepers of knowledge. A voice resonated within his mind, saying "follow my words, and seek out the true source of harmony, that you may teach it to the world and bind harmony into its very soul".

Needless to say, Light-weaver left Yang shortly thereafter, searching out new ideas about harmony- and in particular, the art that was described as Solar Sorcery. He travelled across the South, shedding his distinctive Varangian garb along the way, and seeking advice and knowledge from savants, gods, and other Exalted. During his journeys, he observed many societies- some with pretenses to harmony, like Paragon, and others that didn't even try- and the harm that both paths caused. But when he was initiated into Celestial Circle sorcery by a wise Lunar, Light-weaver was told of the Salinan working- a great spell that had fundamentally changed the nature of Creation. Ever since, it has been his ambition to find the true nature of harmony and annihilate the false.

=Personality=
Reserved, but displays strong emotions about ideas- much more so than people. Has been known to be remarkably persuasive about those ideas.

=Goals=
Find new knowledge- sorcerous knowledge and knowledge of harmony in particular.
Overthrow unharmonious regimes (such as the Prefect, clearly).
