P E R S O N A L I T Y

L I K E S ■ Meats -- Anything from Steak to Salmon ■ Confidence -- Confidence, not cockiness. ■ Family -- His new 'adoptive' family is his world to him. ■ Fighting -- Being a Xaela, war is as natural as breathing. ■ Hugs -- Nothing ever beats a good cuddle. ■ Children -- Saving abandoned Borlaaq Children has made Ranic very fond of Children. ■ Bathing -- Ranic can lose himself in showers, baths, and waterfalls for hours on end. ■ Borlaaq -- The only other tribe that Ranic instantly trusts aside from his own.

D I S L I K E S ■ Dotharl -- "These creatures deserve death in the most painful way possible." ■ Adarkim -- "Had they the brains to unite all the Xaelan tribes with their numbers, Othard would be free of the Garlean menace by now..." ■ Jhungid -- "For all the efforts they put into their pointless war with the Kharlu, we could have diverted that into defeating the Garleans." ■ Kharlu -- "For all the efforts they put into their pointless war with the Jhungid, we could have diverted that into defeating the Garleans." ■ Magitek -- "So easy do the Eorzeans embrace the Garleans way of technology, do they forget that it's this same technology that would lead to their subjugation" ■ Accents -- "Each region has a local accent, and that I can accept... But why does it sound like every other strange snowflake out there is chewing nettles?"

H A B I T S  &  S K I L L S Quirks/Vices ■ Dark Skin -- People with dark skin colours automatically attract his attention. ■ Flirts -- From innuendo's to distracting movements, Ranic can be very easily distracted by flirtatious attitudes. ■ Pain -- Whether in combat, or in the bedroom, certain levels of pain either invoke the good kind of lust, or the bloody kind of lust. ■ Small girls -- Whilst not exactly Lalafellian, Ranic does enjoy petite women. Abilities/Skills ■ Expert Axeman -- From Battleaxes to Hatchets, a good Axe in Ranics hand is as deadly as another. ■ Incredible Willpower -- It seems in combat, Ranic just cannot be felled... It's when he leaves the battlefield do his allies begin to worry about him. ■ Damaging Aura -- Whilst he doesn't quite understand it, under certain conditions his Aetheric pool begins to manifest outside around of him, damaging friend and foe alike in harsh whipping winds. He'd study it further, but he is usually lost to the blood lust by the time it comes around.

■ Spirituality/Religion. Ranic believes in the myth of the Dusk Mother and Dusk Father, although he doesn't see them as anything more than silent watchers.

■ Politics. Any politician who has not shed blood for their country, doesn't deserve to speak on behalf of their countrymen.

A P P E A R A N C E

■ Body: Ranics body is littered in many, many scars and disfigurements. The vast majority of the scars are punctures around his torso, slashes around his joints, and burns sporadically around his body. ■ Skin: Ranics skin is a deathly pale white. He seems to blush red, bruise in a light blue colour, and bleeds red. ■ Hair: Ranic has a dirty white hair colour, usually kept tied back into a ponytail of some sorts. ■ Eyes: Ranic has a piercing red-eyed stare as his resting face. Some have compared it to Garlean red eyes, or in more extreme cases a demonic red. The left eye is a tattered and mesh of stitched together skin that was once his eyelid. With how the stitching has brought the eyelid into the empty space where his eye was, there is a dark shadow over his left eye.

■ Clothes: Ranic tends to favour open shirts, or loose clothing when relaxing. If armoured, Ranic wears a suit similar to 'the' Warrior set' ■ Jewelry: Ranic has filed down his pointed horns to make them considerably less lethal in more relaxed environments. To keep their naturally sharp appearance, he wears silver points on the end of his horns. ■ Distinguishing Features: As one of the tallest and muscular Au Ra, Ranic has quite the intimidating presence. ■ Other: Ranics spaded tail is usually held firmly to his leg, or whips about sharply behind him if agitated.

R U M O R S Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. Please feel free to add your own rumors under the Player Character category! ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ "He's occasionally asked to accompany Ul'dahn forces when we're raiding Amalj'aa camps. Often he does this unpaid. Say's he just there for the sport of it." - Ul'dahn Soldier ■ "He makes a damned good curry! Sometimes he just prepares me one of his sauces in exchange for spices and I'm more than happy with that arrangement." - Spice Merchant ■ "Oh, I remember him. He was stood by a signpost and stopped me to ask what it said. He told me he'd been there a good few minutes just bathing in the sun waiting to find out if he was going the right way" - Travelling Merchant ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "We've had to stop him from fighting our behalf on the Cartenau Flats. We've received too many complaints from the other Grand Companies about the state they received their soldiers back." - Immortal Flames Representative ■ "He's violent? Why, because he's scarred? You're just being rude, Ranic is lovely. He's always here visiting the kids and making sure we're alright, and I won't have you talking ill of him." - Orphanage matron. ■ "The sands of Thanalan are less thirsty than him. You can tell with the way he's leering over people he's got one thing on his mind." - Barmaid ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ "I saw him as he truly was. Used as propaganda for the assimilation of Xaela into the Garlean war machine. The perfect soldier for the Garleans, and a nightmare against his own people" - Doman refugee ■ "I've seen him time and time again come up this way North and one day I followed him to see where he was going... Guy just broke down crying in the middle of an empty field, sobbed for about ten minutes then dusted himself off and set off home... What kind of connection would he have to this place anyway? Bloody Lizard." - Ishgardian Scout ■ "Ranic still lives? Good. The tribe is pleased with his work." - Unknown Xaela ◢ Player Character Rumors - Feel free to add rumors of your own! ■ Feel free to add your own rumors here! ■ "Ranic? Truly, one of my best friends. He is loyal, stubborn and so full of life, even if at times he does not see it." - Nailah Quill ■ "That fuckin' idiot? He's a pain in my ass. Still...that might be a pain I want to live with. We monsters need to stick together, after all." - Aliandrielle Naveleal ■ "I don't get him. He can be calm and reasonable, good to talk with. But in battle he gets absolutely crazy, reckless. Idiotic. He's gonna die soon if he keeps up fighting like that." - Mauh'a Relehna ■ " Ranic's a good guy who's been through a lot of hardships. Don't be too quick to judge him, yeah? Sure, he's got a bit of a temper but I imagine most would after going through his ordeals. I've seen both his good side and his bad side during my time knowing him, and I know that he's got a bigger heart than he let's on. " -W'gahr Lupercal

Hidden Feelings/Unknown: This character has one of all the color keys above, but isn't fully aware of it yet. R E L A T I O N S   Nailah Quill (  ♥  ●  ✔) - Ponytail / Boss Lady / Nai Nailah was amongst the very first Eorzeans that Ranic met, and has been with him through all of his trials and troubles ever since. He see's Nailah as a very damaged and broken soul, yet always ready to give of herself without ever wanting to receive in turn. It's this steadfast companionship that draws Ranic to her, and although he knows she won't ever settle with a companion, he'll always remain by her side so long as she'll have him.   Cirina Malqir (  ♥  ●  ✔) - Ciri After finding Cirina in a dive bar whilst on a search for the Iriq tribe, she took to his company quite easily and soon joined the company he was in thereafter. Cirina's quiet and innocent nature makes her widely liked and respected in the Kindred, so much so that she's even surpassed him in the Kindred to become a member of the Council. This does not sit well with Ranic who finds that she's got a long way to go yet before she becomes a capable leader. Still, he's happy to guide her to her goal, even if he finds her naivety gets in the way sometimes.   Sarangerel Kahkol (  ♦  ●  ✔) - Kahkol / Saran Sarangerel and Ranic have been at odds ever since they met one another. For moons on end Ranic has been trying to get Sarangerel to calm her more elitest and bigotted ways to almost no avail. Yet as time has worn on, her pointed edges have smoothed over to a more comfortable and rounded surface. Whilst her fiery nature and her steadfast opinions have always earned her some respect, it will take quite a while before this new Sarangerel transitions from respect, to unconditional friendship.   W'gahr Lupercal (  ♦  ●  ✔) - Luper / Luperlicious Ranic has no idea just what on Hydaelynn makes Luper the Cat tick, but quite frankly? If it works for the Cat, he's not one to question it. Always there with a smile on his face, and ready to serve drinks at a moments notice, Ranic finds Luper a good friend to have... Even if he doesn't exactly know how much trust to put into him.   Toukta Kahkol (  ♥  ●  ✔) - Tictac Toukta is the beloved younger Brother of Sarangerel, and where Sarangerel was a spiked ball of hatred, Toukta was a fluffy ball of cuddling. Providing the majority of food for the Kindred through hunting, Ranic finds he has little time to spend with Toukta, even if the time he does spend with the man is relatively enjoyable.   Midnight Ivy (  ♦  ●  ✔) - Ivy / Auntie Ivy Ivy with her bubbly personality often comes off as insincere or forced from Ranics perspective, and although the two can keep up a decent conversation they never really 'hit it off' to become the best of friends. Still, if lacking someone to talk to, he knows Ivy will always be there to lend an ear.   Ophelia Gale (  ♦  ●  ✔) - Phi / Niamh The younger sister to Nailah Quill, Ranic has a certain soft spot for this particular Highlander. It seems that being broken is a trait that runs in the bloodline, and just as Ranic tries to help Nailah, he'll be there for the smaller Quill just as much.   Reinhardt Ironhand (  ♦  ●  ✔) - Rein One of the council members for the Kindred and long standing friends of Nailah, Ranic struggles to find any understanding as to why Reinhardt is as highly regarded as he is. With the man barely showing his face, and having little physical presence, he doesn't rate Reinhardt all that highly... Even if the man is classed as his 'boss'.   Aliandrielle Naveleal (  ♥  ●  ✔) - Little Monster / Alia It came as no surprise when a foul mouthed, blunt, and vicious fighter came to the Kindred that Ranic would take to them like a duck takes to water. Near inseparable when they get together, Ranic finds he has a lot of fondness for this rough and tough Elezen, and has likely been seen a few times in public sharing an intimate kiss or two.   Sinkur Kagon (  ♦  ●  ✔) - Sin/Kagon Ranic and Sinkur are the practical polar opposites to one another. Whilst Ranic has a fiery temper and chooses to charge headlong into things, Sinkur has a cool demeanor and would rather plan his moves five steps in front. This conflict of interest has led to Sinkur and Ranic clashing numerous times on how to act on matters but the two almost always concede that the other has merits to their plans. When Sinkur left to Sharlayan, Ranic felt as if he had lost a Brother.   Sechen Hotgo (  ♥  ●  ✖) - Sech Ranics former lover. Fiesty, fierce, and formidable, she was everything that Ranic wanted in not only a friend but in a lover. The two quickly fell in love, and were even trying for a child at one point. Being a Hotgo however, the sorrow of losing her tribe left her seeking vengeance against the Dotharl, who in turn sought vengeance against her. Ranic found her broken and mangled corpse in the snows of Coerthas, and although the ground was frozen solid, he made sure she had a proper burial.   Vyncent Fields (  ♦  ●  ✔) - Mophead / Vynce When people talk of Elezen arrogance, they can only describe it in a way that reminds Ranic of Vyncent. Although Vyncent tries to appear benevolent and nice, he knows the man plays with his cards close to his chest and as a result, Ranic doesn't put all too much trust into the white haired former Garlean.   Yesui Jhungid (  ♥  ●  ✔) - Yesui Although of the Jhungid tribe, one of Ranics most loathed tribes, Ranic has found quite a lot of respect for this particular Jhungid. Seemingly not holding to her heritage all too much, and accepting the ways of the Kindred Company, he has a lot of time for this particular Xaela.   Inran Sas Skarain (  ♠  ●) - Sas Skarain Ranic formerly spied upon the Garleans for the Moks tribe when the Garlean Occupation of Othard spanned across the entire continent, and in his short time in service to the Garlean war machine, he distinguished himself as a competent strategist and warrior. Earning the title and name Pyr Securis, Ranic was placed under the direction of Inran Sas Skarain who would see that the Xaela would be in charge of the Auri slaves. When the Auri exodus to Eorzea went into full swing, the Garleans attempted to transfer a lot of critical tribal information to the Eorzean Legions, of which Ranic chose to break his cover to make sure it never reached its end destination. Inran Sas Skarain apparantly survived Ranics attempted murder, and as such Ranic feels it's his duty to finish what he started.   Pae'a Atiyeh (  ♠  ●) - Pae'a A former lover of Ranics, he found that whilst the Miqo'te was generally enjoyable, the cat had a lot of issues that were so deeply connected to him that if anyone was to accidentally nudge them, Pae'a would launch off into a tirade. Their relationship ended with no reconciliation on either side, and Ranic would be more than happy to never meet this particular dramatic cat ever again.   An'nai Tir'atha (  ♠  ●) - Nai A strange cat from a strange land, it seemed that this cat wouldn't ever get on with the Au Ra of the Kindred as they simply frightened him to a point of a panic attack from just being too near to one. Bitterness was left on Ranics side after one of An'nais many panic attacks became far too personal.   O'ray Tia (  ♦  ●  ✔) - Ray A cocky little cat with no real reason as far as Ranic can see to back up his boastful attitude. Ranic see's this gnat as nothing more than annoying, and longs for a day when he can squash him and get away with it.   Maariya Genhu (  ♦  ●  ✔) - Maari / Paladin A cat with a holier than thou attitude borrowed from the Roegadyn Sultansworn, and a tongue borrowed from the Ishgardian nobility, Ranic finds this particular cat to be lacking a personality of her own aside from where her love life is concerned. It seems to Ranic that the only way to connect to this particular Miqo'te is to break out the pillow fights and sleepovers... Something Ranic wouldn't do in his wildest dreams.   Kaitlyn Quickstep (  ♦  ●  ✔) - Kait The lover of Maariya, and seemingly inseperable from her hip. Ranic doesn't see all that much of Kaitlyn now that those two have become bonded, and although he once thought of her as a flirty and fun personality, he hasn't really seen her talk all that much to anyone that isn't Maariya, or their mutual friend Yesui. He thinks he's getting the wrong impression of her, but so far he's not seen much to combat this wrong impression either.   Vachir Crimsonborn (  ♥  ●  ✔) - Vachir Vachir was one of the first Au Ra that Ranic met in the Kindred, and almost instantly they found an appreciation for one another. Although Ranic was initially apprehensive about going further into a relationship with the Auri, time has warmed Ranic up to the idea, even if the initial rejection has left Vachir quite distant to Ranic. Vachir had a near death scare in recent moons, and although he made a full recovery, he has not really been seen around the Kindred halls. Ranic misses the man, and does wish for him to return at some point, although he wouldn't be surprised to learn of Vachirs true passing.   Tsenxer Qulaan (  ♦  ●  ✔) - Tsen / Qulaani Tsenxer is the epitome of a child to Ranic, young, defiant, and vulnerably inexperienced. Although he cares for this particular Xaela, he feels that if he shows her any sort of leniency or a softer touch, she'll only get herself into trouble somehow. A steady, firm, and somewhat stern hand is what Tsenxer needs in Ranics eyes, and he'll provide it as best as he can.   Krattel Voss (  ♦  ●  ✔) - Voss / Krat Ranic just doesn't understand why Voss shows so much animosity to him. Sure, he's a brute, a barbarian, and in the eyes of some, he's a monster... But so far as he knows, he's never personally done anything against Krattel to earn her ire as much as he has done. Still, if she wants to treat him like a villain, he's happy to play that part. He learnt a long time ago that not all caverns need a bridge building over them, and not having Krattels friendship is a loss he's content to take.

. ✖ P L A Y E R   I N F O ✖ ❇ I've spent many years roleplaying across many different games and platforms. These include but are not limited to: Starbound, Wildstar, Elder Scrolls Online, World of Warcraft, Forum based RP and many more. I try to incorporate as many people as I can into my RP, and feel particularly bad if someone does not feel part of the 'group' that I am roleplaying in, however because of how inclusive I like to be, I do not tolerate RP or personalities that conflict with the group. Group cohesion is very important to me, so if I am ruining the atmosphere I expect people to let me know immediately, but I would also do the same to others which has been known to cause conflicts. ❇ For Combat in Roleplay:: I much prefer free form, but will settle for rolls if pressed. I like specific emotes that describe where peoples limbs are at, and the weight behind all strikes or movements. I appreciate that this is fantasy and characters can be super speedy or athletic, but I also like to appreciate realism and as such most hits that come Ranics way will hit. All strikes have lasting effects on my characters, so limb and organs that are damaged are more often than not permanently afflicted thereafter. ❇ Concerning Romance RP:: Ranic is promiscuous but has clearly defined tastes and as such he will not ERP with anyone for the sake of ERP unless there is adequate reasoning for him to do so. If entering into a relationship with Ranic, I will expect to know this person quite well OOCly due to the personal and emotional ties that Ranic will develop, and I would rather not RP a saddened Ranic due to someone randomly losing interest in the game or RP. ❇ I HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN A DUMBLR SJW RP SOCIETY. I WILL RP IN ACCORDANCE WITH LORE AND PRESENT MY CHARACTERS AS THEY ARE, FAULTS AND ALL. ❇ My Other Main Characters are Chihaya Tabito & Midnight Ivy. I have a handful of alts as well!
