Hello, Rhina! Congratulations on winning your Page, and welcome to the shop! However, there are some things to go over before I can stamp him!
First, on the civilian side, all of Stephan's hobbies and traits are rather sparse! I would really like some more detail in all of them - right now they feel very thin, so I have some questions that might help you flesh him out!
For his
Puzzles hobby, tell me a little more about why he enjoys them! Is it the challenge, or does he just like the focus it requires? For
Reading, what draws him to particular books? You mention mythology and ancient history - is he mostly into fact-based things, or does he enjoy fiction too? Also, what kinds of things does he write?
All of his hobbies are a little solitary - does he tend to do anything in groups? Participate in book clubs or writer's circles or anything like that?
For
Creative Thinker, I'd love some examples for his creative thinking! For
Loyal, what is the limit to his loyalty? Is he
literally the friend you call in the middle of the night because you need to hide a body?
For his flaws, does his
Skeptical flaw extend to facts? Will he argue with people or make them provide sources before he accepts a premise? And for
Unapproachable, does he tend to be rude or offputting if he doesn't like you?
On the powered side, I don't think Hanging Coffins is an acceptable Wonder -- it's a death-related practice, not, as far as I can research, a place! Wonders should be places, real or mythological, with a thousand-year history! There are a bunch of places associated with the practice of hanging coffins listed on the
wiki page, so if any of those are a thousand years old, that would work!
Also, Kngihts cannot have paired weapons - so a single increasingly-fancy cuff link would work, but not a pair of them! Weapons can also change as they grow, so it could go from a cuff link to a bracelet to a bracer, or it could just become more elegant, whichever!
His magic, also, is fairly close to the Aspect of Saturn:
Quote:
As servants of the planet of death, the ghost-like demeanor of Saturn Knights is incredibly fitting. They always appear somewhat cast in shadow and their movements are completely silent, making them masters of stealth.
That's not necessarily bad, it just makes his actual magic a little redundant, so you might want to change it! I can provide some suggestions - Saturn Knights are my favorite, I am practically brimming with magic ideas.
Also, you have made his magic pool incredibly small! I would strongly suggest raising it to at least 30 seconds at Squire and 40 seconds at Knight, depending somewhat on what you settle on for the effect.
I know this is a little long, but I definitely want to get your character to a stampable place, so please let me know if you have any questions!
