| Appearance:
| Filip is from the world of Icarus, specifically from the region around Dun Keiba. He's a farmer by trade and so he's got ox-like strength from years of hard work. He's not overly tall, but he is well-built with understated muscles. His skin is a rich tan colour, and his tightly-curled black hair is kept cropped about an inch thick, jutting from his head when he doesn't keep it contained beneath a cap. Like most folks in outlying communities where the risk of being seized and harmed by infestations of Nex Necium is prevalent, he likes to wear bright clothing such that any would-be rescuer draks can easily spot him. Even now, amidst dragons and draks, he still can't shake the habit of wearing vivid oranges, reds and yellows for his own self-comfort.

| Personality:
| Filip never expected to become an Aspirant, but the opportunity landed in his lap when a Drak from Dun Keiba strongly implied he was bound for Knighthood. He grew up in a small farming community, and so his skill sets are almost entirely unready for the life of Aspirantship: he's used to having no privacy among a huge family and an extended network of a village that watches one another's backs. He's used to had work with very little immediate pay-off, and so he's patient, observant, and keyed to dangers that no human can surmount without the aid of Knights. Beyond knowing damned well that when the Nex Neci alarm is sounded, that it's time to run towards the pick-up zone, all he really knows and loves come from tending the land.
This made itself apparent as he lived at Dun Keiba for a time. He was interesting to talk to, and he gave a new perspective to the Knights who befriended him... but he had no sense of privacy or order, at least not at first. When he walked in on a Drak mother's nesting den, he was summarily rescidended access to the Castle's festivities for that first Joining. Later, Filip stumbled on some information about draks, Icarus, and the Nexus at large that left him reeling. Unable to go back to home with his mind so expanded, eventually he packed up and spent some time sneaking out into the Nexus to explore.
