I have two mains, tbh. I literally play them as equally as possible (play one for a day, play the next one the next day,etc). Both are scholars of their own particular fields.
Celica is my mage-type character who's particular field of study is ancient civilizations, particular the Allag. She's currently searching for pre-Allag ruins. She is from Old Sharlayan and her research is funded from there.
A'yana is also a scholar, but being a pugilist (and eventually a Samurai) she studies aether manipulation through martial applications (melee combat). She studies this for her own edification and is not sponsored or funded by external sources. She makes her funding through adventuring work which also simultaneously gives her more opportunities to study and experiment.
Both are published authors, though only Celica is published through a peer reviewed academic journal in Old Sharlayan. A'yana is largely self-published, though her manuals are gaining popularity among martial artists as a sort of beginner's guide.
