Personality

Pragmatic: Fardun usually trusts his experience and intuition when facing challenging tasks or Beats. Most of the time this works out well for him, but in some cases, he might just miss the more simple and easy solutions costing him valuable time or getting him into more danger than necessary. 

Dauntless: When hunting with the guild he faces great Beasts that are immensely powerful. Yet he faces them without fear and is determined to rid the world of them. Though he always wanders that fine line between recklessness and exceptional bravery. 

Incisive: Under pressure he usually keeps his cool and can read situations quickly and act accordingly. When assessing situations, he tries to give the life of other a high priority, but he is also willing to sacrifice one life for the life of many.

Vehement: Fardun is especially passionate about his gunsmithing work and makes sure to only produce the best quality products. He will tweak and push designs to make them a perfect fit for their user and their intended purpose. Even though he tends to have a quite steadfast opinion about his own work, making it hard for customers to request changes he does not agree with.

Organized: Everything in his Home and Workshop has its designated place. Usually, he keeps everything nice and tidy. For some it might appear weird that he is such a clean freak, but a clean workshop helps him work more efficiently and precise.

Caring: He can be quite loving once you manage to win over his heart. He especially adores kids. But Fardun rarely ever shows this side of himself. Almost no one knows that underneath his hard shell lies a softer core.

______________________________________________________________________________

Abrasive: Fardun avoids interacting with people as often as he can. The fear of forming any kind of meaningful relationships with people has made him harsh towards others.  He tries to keep them away by telling himself that it is better for them, therefore he pretends to have little concern for their feelings. 

Acrimonious: Since the murder of his family, he turned angry and bitter towards Mages. He blames them for the creation of these Beats which ultimately lead to him losing everything. Even though he dislikes Mages, he will rarely act on his hatred for them. He mostly will just silently marinate in his anger or give passive aggressive remarks or higher prices.

Coarse: Fardun can be quite rude towards people he dislikes. Usually, he keeps his vulgarities to himself or simply ignores the people he’s annoyed by.  But in some cases, he will resort to writing some very angry letters. 

Stoic: After enduring the greatest losses, he learned to just hide his true feelings away. Making him seem even colder and apathetic towards people. His goal is to protect them from the same fate he had to suffer. But to do so he believes that he needs to think clearly and not let his feelings interfere with the process.

Vindictive: The thought of avenging his family has taken over most of his life. He continues to hunt for the beast that killed them and will do almost anything to achieve this goal. Sometimes at the cost of others and even his own health. He feels so strongly about his revenge that he will follow any little hint and clues that he can find, sometimes leaving him incapable of functioning properly.
