Aroryn nan Corvus (pronounced /ah-roe-rin/) (11th Sun of the Fifth Umbral Moon (11 October)) is a pureblood Garlean engineer of the VIIth Legion. After the Calamity, Aroryn was displaced from her comerades, and had to take up hidden residency in Eorzea. She has found somewhat of a stable residency with the Arcanist's guild, and uses the time she has to expand on her understanding of Eorzean magic.

Appearance & Personality
- Aroryn is a tall, naturally blonde haired highlander hyur. She usually has lower shoulder length hair, and leaves it open. She dyes her hair black, and at some point chose the colour red to hide any accents of blonde, but the red has begun to fade, and Aroryn carelessly does not redye her hair often enough. She was born with naturally blue eyes, and pale blonde hair. Her most prominent features are her high cheekbones, thin lips, and very Garlean outward appearance. The Garlean Eye on her forehead is hidden both by magic from an Arcanist in the Arcanist's guild, and by a loose headband that she procured from a travel into Eastern La Noscea.
- Aroryn likes to sport sandals for the free movement they allow in La Noscea's warm climate. She often wears robes, as is per norm in the Arcanist's guild, but has kept the outfit she had been found in, her Imperial Short Robe, hidden in her housing. She is known to be very tedious with her appearance, and those around her.
- As a person, most would describe Aroryn as very disclosed. After the calamity, Aroryn quickly learned her culture was different from the one in Eorzea. She had to change it, and adapt to the one in Eorzea. Her sometimes rude, strict, and unempathetic behaviour is a direct reflection of the behaviour in the Empire's most trusted reaches. Aroryn rarely shows faith in those around her, and prefers her own strength to others. She sometimes comes off as impatient, and unbending in her own opinions, but part of these are essential to her own survival.
- Aroryn has not trusted a single soul with her deepest secrets. She continues to maintain a facade of being a somewhat aloof scholar in order to protect her own identity and intentions. The few she has gained friendship with grow used to her behaviour, and learn to overcome it.

Biography
1542-1561
Childhood
- Ban was born high in the mountains of the northern Garlean territory on a cold, winter morning. Although his biological father was absent from his life it had little influence on Bancroft as Nagra, the miqo'te woman who married his biological mother, stepped in to take up the mantle of father and provider. As a child, Ban proved himself as a menace to both his parents and the clan. He was stubborn and adventurous, often disobeying directions in favor of doing something more entertaining such as climbing trees to ambush the other children in the village.
- Eventually, the growing sense of wanderlust became overpowering. At the age of six, Ban decided to venture out on his own. As strange and unusual as it seemed to outsiders, it was generally accepted that the young men of the clan would desire to depart in favor of a more nomadic lifestyle. Ban's own departure was met with little resistance. He did not make it far, as a few days later an elezen man manage to catch him after Ban broke into his home. As it turned out, the elezen was Nichiel Ta'ea, who eventually became the father of Deirdre Ta'ea. Given Nichiel's own troubled past he instantly connected with the energetic youth and decided to take him on as an adopted son and apprentice, tempering the wild energy into something more productive. Ban eagerly took learning Nichiel's craft, working diligently day in and day out.
- Nearly a year later, Deirdre was born and Ban quickly fell into the role of brother and protector for the baby. Despite having an outlet for his abundant energy, Ban's wanderlust soon began to grow stronger once more as the days passed.
Teenage
- The peace was not to last. In 1555 the family was thrown into disarray when Nichiel's second child was stillborn. Unable to pull Nichiel from his grief, Ban took to looking after Deirdre. In the following years, Nichiel began to groom Ban for the day he would eventually take over the business. This involved learning tricks of the trade and meeting with Nichiel's own trading partners. It was during this time that the young Ban met a Highlander named Cade, the son of a merchant Nichiel often dealt with. The two grew closer but the Highlander became even closer to Deirdre. Although Ban greatly disapproved of this budding relationship and had no problems of voicing his opinions, he did not actively interfere or try to keep them apart.
- Ban and Deirdre had already become distant and in 1558 their relationship was strained even more as Ban took a more involved interest in his work, frequently taking week long trips to other cities and villages to sell his own wares, gaining gil and a reputation as a swordsmith. The last time Ban saw his family alive was in the winter of 1561, after being gone a month he returned to find the village burnt to the ground. Nichiel was amongst the dead but Deirdre and her mother were missing.
1561 - 1577
- Fueled by desperation Bancroft began to search for the whereabouts of his missing sister. The trail led him to a large city that was a few days away, much to his dismay the trail soon turned cold. Ban reluctantly remained in the city as he searched high and low for Deirdre. It was not until a few months of endless searching did Ban finally begin to lose hope. He packed what little he had and left the city to continue his search through the Garlean Empire.
- During his travels, Ban often took any job he may find in exchange for food and a place to sleep. He found himself repairing weapons, farming equipment, and doing any heavy lifting that was in demand; he was not above declining the few times when someone invited him into their bed either. It was a place to sleep and he was always gone by morning, never lingering for more than a month in any one place.
1577 - Present
