It took me a while to figure Timoran Wrath out when I switched from elements.  Being a purely physical character among those who utilize some magic, he worked very well for an Earth Hero or a Strength Hero.  I had to pay attention to how I wrote him and go over his scenes to figure out a core virtue/emotion.  It didn’t help that he’s a rather subtle character to begin with.  The others have strong, vivid personalities and antics while Timoran is very low key.  In a scene where everyone is talking, it isn’t surprising to find him only having a few lines that are casual observations or to get the others back on track.  He is the stable rock of the team that has baggage, but doesn’t throw it into the open to cause trouble like the others.

Timoran is a man of honor and it’s something that will play strongly into his past when it gets revealed in full.  He is very honest, but will lie to protect his friends or even total strangers.  He will stand up to anyone if he thinks something is wrong, but will go along with a dangerous plan to make sure he doesn’t leave his friends in the lurch.  Most of his actions are to honor his connections to others and do good for those around him.  It is very similar to the others because all of them step in to be the hero without hesitation.  Yet, Timoran has a more mellow, less self-centered method.  As I said, his core focuses on how he acts toward others and that is typically with respect and honor.

This is a tough one to increase or break because Timoran starts out pretty high on the honorable scale.  For example, he tended to Luke and Sari after they drunkenly hurt themselves and gave up his room to his new friends while he slept in the barracks.  It does make me wonder if he is closer to full champion power than the others.  The only thing he might be missing is accepting that he has some type of magic within him.  I guess Timoran has demonstrated some impressive feats of strength, especially when he is doing something honorable.

As I write this, I realize that Timoran doesn’t really get emotionally pushed to the same extent as the others.  I don’t know if this makes him a weak character or the solid rock among those who are going to be put through an emotional wringer.  That might just be his role and factor into his honor.  When his friends are in need, he is there with a shoulder, a drink, and/or a fist.
