Gone is the day where Anton was but a simple wildling, testing out the waters of civilization after having been lost from them for some time. Now, he's found himself.. He's found family.. And he has a place where he belongs. He is no longer held under the sway of a debt, it's carriers dead, dying, or redeemed. He's even found himself an understanding little lady!

Only time will tell if things will go as happily as he wants them to.

Appearance & Personality

These days, often found wearing his silver apron, gleaming magitek pan at his side. Pants, gloves, the entire uniform is made from a thick fiber, seemingly heat resistant and even resistant to most slashing--It's not been tested against more than simple swords and knives, though. His preferred choice of headgear, though, seems to mystify all: He'll grab damn near anything and put it on his head. Bandana? Sure. Goggles? Sure. Chocobo hat? Sure. Chef's hat? Doubly so! He only seems to wear these things until a specific Keeper woman tells him he looks silly.. At which point, he trades it out for something much more sensible.

His keen sense of loyalty has yet to falter, but the man seems almost hollowed out by his choices, a shell of a man, made necessary to keep that loyalty. No longer does he interview recruits, or spend time with Kiipa, he.. Most of his time is spent manning the kitchen, or procuring the ingredients needed for the week's meals. He doesn't seem to have much private time anymore..

No longer does he happily greet each newcomer, teasing them with a tale of bravado or a few boastful lies. He's still jovial, yes, but it doesn't really seem to be.. Him. The only times he seems to shine, anymore, are when he's accompanied by his assistant and girlfriend, Suna Rokuyari, or his favored niece, Inelaa Nocte. When they're around, every move he makes has an added flair to it, simple actions are traded out for tricky ones, all meant to entertain.

His medical training has gone completely unnoticed, a fact that constantly seems to nag at him. He tries so hard to make sure people know that he can, and will, help put people back together.. But even when the company doctor is out, people would rather suffer their pains than let him do much.. Something that makes him feel absolutely useless.

Gone is that sense of an ulterior motive. Gone, just like the sense of wild anger. He's acclimatized to his surroundings, and he has no reason to not trust his company mates.. Except for the one person who he used to trust the most, now constantly leaving him in the dark.

Biography

Childhood

Most unknown at present. Father was an Ul'dahn-based thief, mother an Ul'dahn streetwalker. Father disappeared, unknown causes--Assumed dead? Mother resorted to an endless routine of work to make ends meet.

Teenage

Most unknown at present. Mother became sick, likely due to work habits. Anton turned to thievery to help make money, try to pay off medicine. Was able to pay off said medicine, but incurred massive debt in doing so. Medicine was placebo--Mother died anyway.

Wilds

For lack of a better term, Anton was an incredibly unlucky person. His ability at gambling was terrible, and instead of getting out of debt, he accrued so much more debt that it had come to a head--His life, or his money. Being that he had no money, and he didn't particularly want his life to be over... He left. For fear of getting his friends hurt, he said nothing--They couldn't be used as bargaining chips if they didn't know. Just like that, he was gone. His first destination was to Limsa Lominsa, posing as a gladiator mercenary. He had minimal skill with a sword and shield, but figured he could get away with it readily enough, especially if he wore a helmet all the time to hide his identity. After a time, he learned he had quite a propensity for swinging about an axe, and as a pastime, he studied the cooks in the Bismarck. After a while, he was easily able to mimic them, and even understand why they did what they did. After a good while, though, his past caught up with him again--Even with his hair grown out, face grown older, and demeanor changed. He'd learned a different way of life, changed himself around amazingly, but still was not to be at rest.

To Costa, he ran. They'd been looking for mercs there, right? He could get a job there, easy as that. But no. Not hiring. With that, he fled further inland, right into the wilds. For a while, he stumbled on his own--Barely able to make due. He refused to speak with any traveler, for fear of being found, but eventually it had come to the point that he was on death's doorstep. A roegadyn by the name of 'Inquisitive Mentor' found him, and helped him back to health, teaching him how to survive properly--At this point, he was far enough into the wilds, that it was amazing there was someone else around.

Mentor was a man who liked to learn. In return for any knowledge he'd gleaned from a traveler, he gave something back--Usually another form of knowledge. Anton had very little to teach Mentor, but even his meager sword-and-board skills were something the big man could learn from. As thanks, the roe took his time teaching Anton how to live in the wilds--What was edible, what wasn't. Where he could find help without going back to civilization, and how to handle the basic predators--A point that he was surprised about, though, was that Anton had yet to run into any of the wildlife, though probably due to him being like unto death at the time.

They parted ways, and Anton made his way to one of these sources of non-civilization help. The man he met was all too happy for a visitor, and though he never gave a name, taught Anton what is now his most valuable skill: How to really use an axe.

Present

Anton is now a proud member of the Radical Dreamers, after being found by the single friend who remembered him: Tikka Swift. A name that assuredly makes not a lick of sense to him, but he doesn't particularly care--He has friends here. He has family here. He works as a melee instructor and chef for the most part, occasionally playing nursemaid to those with only superficial wounds when the true medical heroes, such as his best friend Kiipa Nulstat, are busy. He regularly clashed with Gen Quickpaw, the leader of the company.. Generally over matters of simple nature, yet unable to come to a simple conclusion. One minor facet that he enjoyed, though not an official position, is his job of wrangling the new folks in for a drink and an introduction. Between cooking and tending bar, treating wounds, and teaching, he's a regular in most walks of the estate life.

Shortly after returning from the wilds, he managed to gather himself up a girlfriend. This, unfortunately, didn't last nearly as long as anyone was hoping--Even bystanders had high hopes for the two, Misha Jinhri and Anton, but after only a month, Misha left on a quest of soul-searching, to find herself. When she came back, things had changed... And the two, while remaining pleasant friends, were no longer a couple as a result of the findings of that journey, and the time apart. His love-life has remained relatively shattered from then on, progressing onto a helpless puppy love over his best friend, to constant flings with folks from around the company and his side job with the Obsidian Coterie. He thought he'd found something in his boss, Sumari Polaali, but that had turned south when she refused to believe that she could ever come out from under the shadow that Kiipa left.

He's since tried to mend fences with any number of previous relationships, even trying his damndest to love on Katja Hoax, the person who helped keep him steady after Kiipa abandoned him.. But it was all for naught. His friendships have dwindled to a shadow of what they were, as have his romantic relationships.. His best friend barely gives him the time of day, though her daughter seems to adore him.. And, in all of this, he managed to find a blooming flower of a girlfriend in Suna Rokuyari, all by telling her to not take drugs from strangers..

Rumors Some of these rumors are untrue or are greatly exaggerated. Please feel free to add your own rumors under PC! ◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard) ■ "He keeps saying he's an axe murderer, but I see no axe..." ■ "He just won't stop staring at me..." ■ "Is he.. Even there? He's not paying attention." ◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear) ■ "Where did that axe come from? He wasn't holding it a moment ago.." ■ "He looks, but doesn't touch. So odd.." ■ "Hey! He stole bread from me a while ba--Wait, is it him? He looks so well kept.." ◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ Those with a criminal history may know of his prior debt. ■ Those who have met Mentor, or know of the tribals he visited, may see something similar in Anton. ■ For someone that claims years of Bismarck training, he's not been listed on their rosters.. Ever. ◢ PC Rumors (Rumors from the character's of other players) ■ "He has a mustache, and everyone knows that mustaches mean you're evil. I keep waiting for his sinister plot to unfold, so that I can be there with a smug 'I told you so.' Well, unless his sinister plot involves blowing up Eorzea. ...Gosh, do you think his sinister plot involves blowing up all of Eorzea?" -Tikka Swift ■ "Things have changed between us. I hope we can move on from the past and still be friends." - Misha Jinhri ■ "Anton? There's too much to be said, and not nearly enough time. There are moments I feel a deep sadness for him, because I watched his loyal heart break. Things could have been different... and I know things are hard, but he doesn't run. For that, if nothing else, he will always be my dearest friend." - Kiipa Nulstat ■ "He's... kind. I-I know he doesn't look it, and he looks more... well, he's intimidating. But under that... he's got a good heart, I think." - Lune Vormold ■ "Hm, who? OH! That adorable little shite! One o' those Dreamers. Makes a damn fine meal, stuck up for me an' mine, and doesn' much mind m' drinks on his tab! Or, I think he doesn'... Not that ye mention it, no' quite sure he even knows they're there..." - N'herys Kavvah ■ "Anton!? I-I could go on and on about Anton. He's the best cook there is and he is very nice. He's also quite playful, he can lighten the mood with his sunny attitude...that's my favorite part about him!" - Suna Rokuyari ■

Relations ♥ Romantic Interest ♥ Sexual Interest ♥ Platonic Love ● Good Standing ● Neutral Standing ▼ Trainee ● Poor Standing ♥♥ Kiipa Nulstat : As far as he's concerned, this woman, while still in his life, is 'the one that got away'. She's the ideal fit for the type of woman he wants as his partner in life.. But it's simply not to be. Poor timing, combined with poor choices, certainly didn't help that. They've gone from great friends, to acquaintances.. Then back up to close friends again, and at current, are little more than co-workers. He strives, so hard, to make her understand that he wants to be her friend, part of her family, but is repeatedly beaten back by her stubborn refusal to believe that he means any sort of well. ♥♥ Suna Rokuyari : All he'd said was that she shouldn't take drugs from strangers, no matter what they said the drugs could do. The side-effects could be terrifying... And sure enough, they were. The little lizard girl came to visit Anton at the Dreamer estate regularly afterward, eventually signing on as his assistant in chefliness... And from there, his lover. Whether that was simply a side-effect due to how much she adored him, or it happened naturally, he couldn't turn her down--Though it didn't help that his niece flat out ordered him to take her out on a date! ♥♥ Attika Nianu : Attika was Anton's star student--Whether that's because she was the only one that stuck around, or because she actually does a good job controlling herself, who knows. Atop that, since deciding that she no longer needs Anton's mentorship and has since come back from Ishgard, she's developed an interest in Anton.. One that's reciprocated, by him and his girlfriend. It's an interesting threesome, two clumsy girls and one.. Guy? ♥● Inelaa Locte : At first, she was just the target of his retrieval mission into the Shroud. As he started adding things up, though, it became more and more clear.. Inelaa was Kiipa's daughter. Being that Kiipa had adopted Anton as her brother, that made Inelaa his niece.. And he hasn't taken a single moment extra to start showering her in gifts, ranging from giant stuffed animals to clothing and a book on combat arts--Specifically, around archery. The teenager has done a ton for his self-esteem, and has on her own proven that she's already enough of a woman to handle a crowd of horny people at a poetry slam! ♥♥ Sumari Polaali : She was, and still is, his boss. For a while, they had a romantic thing going on, until she couldn't take it anymore and.. Basically bailed out of it. He wanted to keep things going, but she couldn't believe that Anton would ever love anyone aside from Kiipa, and so couldn't handle the relationship. ♥● Tikka Swift : Tikka. His first friend that he'd found upon leaving the wilds. He knew her from beforehand, and felt incredibly bad for leaving her to her own devices like he did. She'd gone through so much while he was gone, he was determined to try and make it up to her. He'd thought to try and start a relationship with her, but after learning all that he has... He's just not sure if he can. Especially since she seems so young. Probably for the best. He's since realized that she'd not been as clear with her age, and was in fact quite older--And now has no idea at all what to think, aside from the fact that she's mostly machine and now has many babies. ●♥ Katja Hoax : Once upon a time, they fucked like bunnies over a contract deal. That broke, as did their relationship afterward--One that Anton tried hard to mend after he realized his errors. To no avail, she slipped through his fingers, to a family that has now disowned her. She's back in the house, but has her eyes set on someone else.. ♥● Gen Quickpaw : Gen is one of Anton's favorite people to have around. He respects the man, even with as much shit as they throw at each other--He's now Kiipa's side-man, though it's more seeming like she's just been absorbed into Gen's family all in all. That alone, Gen's extremely polite treatment of Kiipa, has Anton liking the man more and more. ● Tallera Weaver : Crazy voodoo sorceress. Anton ran across her one day, and since then, every time they meet up, somethin' crazy happens--Or they count the whores inside the Quicksand. One or the other. She seems fair convinced that she's a zombie, but he's not convinced--He does know, however, that she /really/ likes watching the stars. Of course, this became quite a bit more clear when he realized that the woman was, in fact, an Ishgardian Astrologian--A star-mancer-mage-wizard. He's got quite a bit of respect for the girl, and what she's been able to pull off, lately. On top of all that, he now works with the crazy woman as his side job, hunting down exotic beasties for parts--And in turn, he hires her for jobs regarding more magical skill. ● Misha Jinhri : Misha, Misha, Misha. They met as a result of Tikka jumping off a balcony and Anton following her, but they hit it off easily. And, with Leif dodging out of getting a drink with the three of them, they realized that they clicked fairly well... So, they went on a date. And then another one. And decided that, regardless of how fast they were or weren't going, they'd try their hand at being a couple. It didn't work out, but the two are still friends. Or.. They were, anyway. After a long stretch of nothing but disrespect, he's not sure what to do with her anymore. ● Emmette Stringers : At one point, he worked for her. When she cut him loose with a lie loaded with bullshit, his respect for her went out the window--Along with his liking of her company, the Obsidian Coterie. ● Felix Cyprus : One of the first people he met in the Dreamers. A stoic guardsman, now turned.. Stoic fistfighter? He wasn't sure what to make of the tall, dark, and lovely man at times, but he did try to call the man a friend. ●▼ Jeros Redd : Jeros. Technically? Jeros was his superior in terms of both free and grand company. Anton worked with the Maelstrom--So did Jeros, only for much longer. Same, too, with the Dreamers. Nonetheless, Jeros is helping to get the big guy back into fighting shape, after a nasty run-in with a particularly devastating voidsent. Indeed, they very much teach each other. Recently, he's been helping the man put together his past, and helping him unfold his future as a trainee armorer. ● Ceshiene Kahkol : Co-chef, or chef-in-training..? That is yet to be figured out. ▼ Lune Vormold : Proper trainee! She came to him asking to be trained in weapons and bodyguard-work at the behest of her master. Anton simply had to oblige, as she seemed so determined--And still does. She's second to Attika in favor, as far as his students have been.
