:: Story Told: Growing Pains
Why Tidings would make an interesting Legendary...
Tidings is a trickster, mercurial and sly, full of puzzles and laughter, and lies. Yet, underneath it all, he is melancholy – he feels a misfit, an outcast, who'll never truly fit in for all his good cheer. He had already known it, from the dream he had in his sac: his birthplace would fit wrong, and every place after, till he reached the sea – and so he ran to the sea as soon as he could, once born. But, despite his dream, even at the sea, he found not home, and so, he thought, always a misfit he would be. It is only through the journey hence that he learns: home is what you make of it, and deception might well an outcast make…even though, he thinks, there is still always a time for tricks.
He would make a interesting legendary because he's a chaotic good character who's learnt to be mindful of the balance of deception and empathy, but still likes puzzles and tricks and will make blessings devious and fun. Also, he runs all over the Swamp to spread news, has seen tons of things, and can pop up in the strangest of places.
