stoic \STOH-ik\, noun: 1. (Capitalized). A member of a school of philosophy founded by Zeno holding that one should be free from passion, unmoved by joy or grief, and should submit without complaint to unavoidable necessity. 2. Hence, one who is apparently or professedly indifferent to or unaffected by pleasure or pain, joy or grief. 3. Of or pertaining to the Stoics; resembling the Stoics or their doctrines. 4. Not affected by passion; being or appearing indifferent to pleasure or pain, joy or grief.
"Aw, Brel, don't be so stoic all the time," chided Mena. "You'll receive your powers any day now, so lighten up a little! I heard the Grandmaster Destra didn't get hers until her seventeenth birthday."
(A/N: Wow, I don't think you can find a more generic fantasy-type word out there. Not a Terry Brooks book goes by without a character being mentioned as stoic and sitting in the corner of a tavern, all Aragorn-esque. Also, sorry for the lack of posts lately. It's been crazy at school, but I'll try to do better this next week.)
