He is strong like a bear, but not overly smart.  He wants to be a labourer like his father.  He makes friends easily, is trusting but not naive, and loves to spend his free time playing the bagpipes.  Hope I did that right.  Let me know if anything needs changing, clarifying etc.  Even though we don't know we have powers, we can still choose them freely as you described?</blockquote>
