Personality
Quirks
Personality Quirks:
Code of Honor - Martyn takes all of his oaths and responsibilities quite seriously, sometimes to the point of rampant idealism over pragmatism. He is a Templar, a Knight, a Prince of Rivana, and the (acting) Viscount of Greenmeadow, and strives on a daily basis to uphold every duty and code that each position demands of him. Many would find that difficult, but for Martyn it helps bring structure and order to his life.
Devout - As a genuinely dutiful and honorable Templar, Martyn is strongly dedicated to the One Faith, and follows its practices and mores quite diligently. As with his honor, Martyn's devotion to the faith gives him focus and direction in his life.
Shrewd - It is sometimes lost on people due to Martyn's social difficulties, but he is intelligent and clever, particularly when it comes to military matters, but has shown signs of adapting this trait to both rulership and diplomacy since the close of the Succession War.
Skill Quirks:
Avid Learner: Military Lore - Martyn practically devours tales of the campaigns, commanders, and battles of both past and present, and scholarly treatises on military matters in general. He can practically quote the Codex of Maneuver and Manual of Arms by chapter, page, and paragraph.
Military Genius: Martyn is very well-versed in tactics and strategy, and while he may not be the most inspiring leader in a charismatic sense, he is excellent at crafting battle plans and campaign strategy, with both insight and innovation to spare. Paradoxically given his strict desire for order and discipline, he thrives most in the chaos of the battlefield.
Social Quirks:
Affliction: Social Anxiety - Martyn is distinctly uncomfortable in large social gatherings. He constantly fears that he will make some grievous faux-pas or offend the wrong person or otherwise make some embarrassing mistake that will reflect poorly on himself and his family, to the point that it can put him in a virtual panic at times. He is fine in small gatherings (ten or less people) or when he has a very clear task or role that he can focus on to "tune out" his fears (and even then he can be somewhat nervous). In other words, if he can rationalize it in his head as a "soldier's mission" he can often power through. Still, Martyn tends to be awkward and somewhat stilted when it comes to socializing and small-talk, even among his (relatively few) close friends and family. Due to this affliction, Martyn's Presence cannot be higher than 3.
Privileged Position - Not only is Martyn a Prince of House Tracano, he also serves as Rivana's Knight-Marshal, making him (at least in theory) the second-in-command of all Rivana's armies in times of war. He is also primarily responsible for the logistics and training of House Tracano's rank-and-file soldiers (a task he excels in).
Wealthy - He is a Royal Tracano and a Prince of Rivana. While Martyn is the least likely of his cousins or sibling to flaunt it (though he does live a lifestyle that is adequately luxurious for a Prince, to maintain appearances), he has a fantastic degree of wealth available to him, should he need it.
