I want to let you know beforehand, before you guys complain: Kael lives in a matriarchal society which has changed over the past 500+ years, and the society and its norms are a bit different.
You may find him a bit soft, but that's to be expected, and that's how I want to portray him.
In that society, even now, he could be considered a bit tougher than the average man.
He will have some changes in his personality along the way, but don't expect a so-called manly MC from the start. :)
