If a dream was had during sleep Creon wrote it in a journal. As within seconds the memories of those experiences are fleeting, and he ponders analyzing them in understanding his own instinctive subconscious psychology or the Force. He does this while eating citrus fruit, the most bitter in the market, and includes the peel. Stretching keeps his body fluid and staves off the stiffness of age slowly by consistent dedication. Each muscle group is addressed with an assured pump of blood to saturate the fibers. He warms up with cardio and pushes recruitment to his core with calisthenics, then showers upon completion. Before breakfast is a concoction comprised of supplements, compiled plant matter compressed into a tar derived from a sacred mountain, and a variety of known herbs and fungi mycelium known to support the body's structure. Progressive overload strength training follows typically with a mace or club that has a weighted core. Wood carved rings held onto a tree by straps are used for acrobatic training. An ice bath follows in a barrel he keeps. He then rests through a walk in Nature seeking the Force and makes practice the abilities he's acquired over his years of study. Lunch is an assortment of dark greens and grains that require boiling water to absorb into an edible texture that hydrates his system upon digestion. Any business leftover from previous days he may address, or to simply nap midday to address the stress of his training. The nap reinvigorates his mind and replenishes the body well enough to have the energy for martial arts training with coaching. Dinner is whatever his wife cooked, or by request of what she'd like to have cooked, or a meal for himself that satiates the appetite to his preference alongside a synthesized protein drink of his own formula. Time with her is given priority before he goes through the hygiene process once again, a routine of stretches, and then returns to sleep once again.

This routine is maintained as a training lifestyle to maintain his prowess in the event it is needed during times of crisis, which has often befallen his Clan over the many years he's spent with them. Thus, he seeks not of his own desire to travel, involve himself in heavy business, find communities outside his home environment, or engage in large scale projects. As with all these things are simply distractions from the role he chose for his life in servitude to the people of his homeland and being prepared and proficient for if harm finds its way, as with shown in history to be an eventuality. It is not his own desire to do this, though he finds enjoyment in the maintenance of his health and potential the body can reach. It is out of fear in the heinous cruelty others in this reality have done out of selfishness, instinctive compulsory ignorance, greed, vengeance, and malice. It’s the anger from those that impose suffering he trains for, awaiting a worthy opponent just as dedicated to push his capabilities beyond its current capacity.
