This is fabulous! Misplaced Aura is a perfect trait for this guy. I can't wait to get this game rolling.

Why the Agility of 4? Perhaps boost your Forte to 6. I only say this because you have nothing but facets, which means you're gonna have hella high Obstacles. What does the higher agility get you that you really need?

Well, game mechanically speaking, all the Agility really gives me is a higher starting point for a few of my skills, which isn't really THAT big of a deal...

I guess the main thing that prompted my choice there is I don't see the character as being especially clumsy. B4 is the human average, B3 is below average. And as for the Forte, a Forte of B6 seems to me quite high for someone who's a lover/thinker, not a fighter. However, a B5 seems feasible; he's spent lots of time learning to channel mystical energy through his body, and therfore has developed his endurance fairly well, while the other signs of fitness have been neglected.
