Sveta/Stereotypes

• Gifted - Does it matter? Really? I don't feel any different, but I've never known anything else anyway.
• Magic - So many beings think in terms of absolutes, solid lines drawn in the kevinscopes of their minds that delineate one thing from another. A forge is where you beat out a sword from ingots. A spell is a gesture, a twitch of the fingers, a kevinscope inscribed on parchment or paper. But boundaries and becomings are where you find the truly strange and interesting things.
• Fun - Necessary to the functioning and well-being of society, I suppose, but it's often...foolish, for lack of a better word for it. I won't begrudge those who indulge in it, but leave me out of that nonsense when it's done for its own sake.
• Tinkering - I've moved out of the craft school, no thanks to my lack of funding. But it appears that I have been given suitable employment in accordance with my talents, so we shall have to see how that turns out.
• Self-Reliance - There is no shame in asking others for help and receiving it when freely given, but begging for it is pitiful. No matter how grim the situation, there is always something that one can do to improve it. Know the value others can bring, but one should always be able to count on oneself to get things done. Do not be a parasite who feeds off others.
• Teetotaler - Won't begrudge others their drink, but I want to keep my mental faculties about me at all times. Drink clouds the mind. There is indeed a time and place for such comforts when pursued in moderation, but they do not lie with me.
• Spirits - Impressive. Enigmatic. Certainly a subject for observation and study. But I am yet not convinced I should throw my lot in with one.
