 At heart, Valcen is a scientist. The physics of the universe he lives in fascinates him, both in what it is and what it is not. He's always dreamed of making his own universe - not necessarily a self-unpacking one like the one he was born in, but something grand and exciting and altogether different. At heart, Valcen is a scientist.

-He's driven by curiosity and has a voracious hunger for knowledge. Occasionally, his projects, while furthering some other agenda, end up being excuses for this dabbling, such as his excursion into [[:kavkem]] neurology (as he did to create [[character:Ne͡ivat'va]] and [[character:Gazhil]]), which undoubtedly is time he could have put to better use.+He's driven by curiosity and has a voracious hunger for knowledge.

-Much like [[character:Jeneth]] (or, indeed, any other Threadwielder not saturated in a mortal culture), he feels no particular empathy toward [[character:Evenatra]], [[:kavkem|kavkema]], [[:Nayabaru]] or [[:human|humans]], though it may serve him at any one time to ally with them, and he may, through his avatar, feel genuine emotions aiding him with such a decision. Nonetheless, fundamentally, he doesn't care.+Much like [[:character:Jeneth]] (or, indeed, any other Threadwielder not saturated in a mortal culture), he feels no particular empathy toward [[:character:Evenatra]], [[:kavkem|kavkema]], [[:Nayabaru]] or [[:human|humans]], though it may serve him at any one time to ally with them, and he may, through his avatar, feel genuine emotions aiding him with such a decision.

Line 17: Line 17:
 An event simply referred to as '[[:Anigi]]' is described as deeply frustrating to Valcen, and a source of ongoing ostracism, exiling, and formal ban from using [[:Thread]]. By the time //A Thread Between The Stars// begins, he had fundamentally rejected the ostracism and was stemming himself against it - most notably by hoarding Thread as well as daring (cautious) incursions into the territories of other Threadwielders. An event simply referred to as '[[:Anigi]]' is described as deeply frustrating to Valcen, and a source of ongoing ostracism, exiling, and formal ban from using [[:Thread]].

-It's implied that Valcen and [[character:Jeneth]] have enough of a personal history with each other that Valcen //"harboured the hope that [Jeneth] had changed enough to be reasoned with"//((See //A Thread Between The Stars//, the //Satellites// chapter.)) once he seeks out his help. It's also implied that Jeneth takes Valcen's ostracism seriously and feels that he deserves it.+It's implied that Valcen and [[:character:Jeneth]] have enough of a personal history with each other that Valcen //"harboured the hope that [Jeneth] had changed enough to be reasoned with"//((See //A Thread Between The Stars//, the //Satellites// chapter.)) once he seeks out his help.

 Just prior to //A Thread Between The Stars//, he's spent several avatar generations on [[planet:Sesakanala]] (a planet at the edge of [[character:Zalaagra]]'s territory), which he would only cynically describe as 'cosy', but nonetheless considers an approximation of home. Just prior to //A Thread Between The Stars//, he's spent several avatar generations on [[planet:Sesakanala]] (a planet at the edge of [[character:Zalaagra]]'s territory), which he would only cynically describe as 'cosy', but nonetheless considers an approximation of home.
