Lily is serious to a fault, and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Coupled with a moral compass, she possesses a strong sense of justice that at times can seem overbearingStill, to the core, Lily is a caring and loyal individual, ready to lay herself on the line in the defense of anyone she considers a friend, regardless of the situation.  There will also be times where she is flustered, and may retaliate verbally or react violently to such embarrassment.
+
Tayn is an affectionate man who wears his heart on his sleeve. Nothing is more important to him than family - and thus he is dedicated to taking care of his brother and sister. He has a strong sense of right and wrong, and frequently he has this irritating habit of rushing into situations headfirst because of itOftentimes, mostly as a mask, Tayn cracks inappropriate jokes and obsesses over sandwiches. Another interesting quirk is no matter what the situation aside from battle, if he idles long enough, his right hand always finds its way to his hip and his back pocket. In short, Tayn is the kind of man you love, or love to hate, and because of this, can make quick friends or bitter rivals of anyone he meets within minutes.

'''"We are but simple folk, some of us farmers, some of us smiths, some of us husbands, some of us wives. Some of us have children, some of us have none but ourselves. Yet there is something that unites us all. We are all from Ala Mhigo, and we have all made a solemn vow to fight the Garlean Empire until we have regained control of the home that was torn from our grasp...the home we lost fifteen summers gone." ---Thoughts Of An Ala Mhigan.'''

There is little information about Tayn that he is willing to part with, since he keeps his past close to the vest.  However what is known about him is that Tayn is a simple man with simple dreams, with some interesting hobbies on the side. He lived a peaceful life with his sister Lyra and brother Lexouritis, until Garlemald began its conquest in Eorzea.  That in turn would initiate a chain of events leading to being seperated from his family, the death of his parents, a subsequent meeting with Lily Dawnsworn, and the Ala Mhigan Insurgence/Resistance.  For the next five years, Tayn would become a liason and a contact within Garlemald and Ala Mhigo, now under Garlean occupation.

*[[Lily Dawnsworn]]: A Midlander from Ala Mhigo, who Tayn imparts information concerning the Garlean occupation in her homeland, and the second-in-command of Corvus Cinis.  He purposefully drives her nuts with his antics, but deep down, Tayn looks out for her whenever he can.
  
*[[Lily Dawnsworn]]: .
+
*[[Alothia Starkwood]]: Leader of Corvus Cinis. Tayn does not know Alothia too well, but he recognizes her for who she is: the one in charge.  Entry #3 in Tayn's list of "Who I Wouldn't Mind Getting To Know."
  
*[[Alothia Starkwood]]: .
+
*[[Vash Ashford]]: About the only thing Tayn knows about Vash is that he A) was one of the members of Corvus Cinis who defected, and B) likes Lily.
  
*[[Vash Ashford]]: .
+
*[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]: A Lalafell who despite Tayn's antics, seems to treat the Midlander with respect and reverence.  Tayn is only now learning more about him, as he met Lainseworth after he had recovered his voice.
  
*[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]:  
+
*[[K'anko Tia]]: A member of Corvus Cinis that is currently in a relationship with Alothia Starkwood.  Tayn once called K'anko, "Kank-ho," mostly as a joke, but he lets it slip every now and then when the mood is down, much to K'anko's disgust.
  
*[[K'anko Tia]]:  
+
*[[Eric Verus]]: An intellectual that is a member of Corvus Cinis.  He doesn't dislike him, but he makes for a good muse to bounce jokes off of.
  
*[[Eric Verus]]: .
+
*[[Starwind Meladon]]: A member of Corvus Cinis, and one of Tayn's constant targets.  Due to the fact Tayn views Starwind as a man without a sense of humor, he would go at great lengths to tease him.
  
*[[Starwind Meladon]]: .
+
*[[Rio van Rosch]]: A quirky Miqo'te who Tayn befriended while searching for Lainseworth.  Entry #2 in Tayn's list of "Who I Wouldn't Mind Getting To Know."  Rio doesn't seem all that interested in Tayn, but that will not stop him from trying.
  
*[[Rio van Rosch]]: .
+
*[[Souyo Xander]]: About the only thing Tayn knows about Souyo is that he A) was one of the members of Corvus Cinis who defected, and B) likes Lily.  Being the one that orchestrated the entire affair, Tayn does not harbor any love for Souyo.
  
*[[Souyo Xander]]: .
+
*[[Salty Lake]]: Their meeting was a curious one, and taken by surprise at Salty's size, Tayn had called her a "huge bitch."  They are on good terms, though Tayn has become careful not to make jokes around her whenever possible. Entry #1 in Tayn's list of "Who I Wouldn't Mind Getting To Know."
  
*[[Seseriku Viviriku]]: A Lalafell that happened to run across Corvus Cinis and was dragged into their affairsAt first glance he appears serious to a fault, yet beneath that exterior beats a kind heart, having assisted Lily and the members of Corvus during the battle at Behemoth's DominionLily has recently offered him a place in Corvus Cinis, to which Seseriku accepted.
+
*[[I'lyana Rhiki]]: A Miqo'te Tayn happened upon when he was reflecting on the events in Aurum ValeShe was fairly adept in receiving Tayn's wisecracks, and equally adept in reciprocating themA stray from Ul'dah, or so she claims.
  
*[[Salty Lake]]:  
+
*[[Lyse Crofte]]: A Highlander that Tayn happened to meet through Lily, who is as stalwart as a mountain, and as tenacious as a cockroach.  They're on pretty good terms, considering.

Personality

Tayn is an affectionate man who wears his heart on his sleeve. Nothing is more important to him than family - and thus he is dedicated to taking care of his brother and sister. He has a strong sense of right and wrong, and frequently he has this irritating habit of rushing into situations headfirst because of it. Oftentimes, mostly as a mask, Tayn cracks inappropriate jokes and obsesses over sandwiches. Another interesting quirk is no matter what the situation aside from battle, if he idles long enough, his right hand always finds its way to his hip and his back pocket. In short, Tayn is the kind of man you love, or love to hate, and because of this, can make quick friends or bitter rivals of anyone he meets within minutes.

History

Tayn in combat.png

"This is my choice. Now I have to understand it." ---Tayn Zolin.

Before The Calamity

There is little information about Tayn that he is willing to part with, since he keeps his past close to the vest. However what is known about him is that Tayn is a simple man with simple dreams, with some interesting hobbies on the side. He lived a peaceful life with his sister Lyra and brother Lexouritis, until Garlemald began its conquest in Eorzea. That in turn would initiate a chain of events leading to being seperated from his family, the death of his parents, a subsequent meeting with Lily Dawnsworn, and the Ala Mhigan Insurgence/Resistance. For the next five years, Tayn would become a liason and a contact within Garlemald and Ala Mhigo, now under Garlean occupation.

Additional Info

The Ties That Bind Us

  • Lily Dawnsworn: A Midlander from Ala Mhigo, who Tayn imparts information concerning the Garlean occupation in her homeland, and the second-in-command of Corvus Cinis. He purposefully drives her nuts with his antics, but deep down, Tayn looks out for her whenever he can.
  • Alothia Starkwood: Leader of Corvus Cinis. Tayn does not know Alothia too well, but he recognizes her for who she is: the one in charge. Entry #3 in Tayn's list of "Who I Wouldn't Mind Getting To Know."
  • Vash Ashford: About the only thing Tayn knows about Vash is that he A) was one of the members of Corvus Cinis who defected, and B) likes Lily.
  • Lainseworth Ravencraft: A Lalafell who despite Tayn's antics, seems to treat the Midlander with respect and reverence. Tayn is only now learning more about him, as he met Lainseworth after he had recovered his voice.
  • K'anko Tia: A member of Corvus Cinis that is currently in a relationship with Alothia Starkwood. Tayn once called K'anko, "Kank-ho," mostly as a joke, but he lets it slip every now and then when the mood is down, much to K'anko's disgust.
  • Eric Verus: An intellectual that is a member of Corvus Cinis. He doesn't dislike him, but he makes for a good muse to bounce jokes off of.
  • Starwind Meladon: A member of Corvus Cinis, and one of Tayn's constant targets. Due to the fact Tayn views Starwind as a man without a sense of humor, he would go at great lengths to tease him.
  • Rio van Rosch: A quirky Miqo'te who Tayn befriended while searching for Lainseworth. Entry #2 in Tayn's list of "Who I Wouldn't Mind Getting To Know." Rio doesn't seem all that interested in Tayn, but that will not stop him from trying.
  • Souyo Xander: About the only thing Tayn knows about Souyo is that he A) was one of the members of Corvus Cinis who defected, and B) likes Lily. Being the one that orchestrated the entire affair, Tayn does not harbor any love for Souyo.
  • Salty Lake: Their meeting was a curious one, and taken by surprise at Salty's size, Tayn had called her a "huge bitch." They are on good terms, though Tayn has become careful not to make jokes around her whenever possible. Entry #1 in Tayn's list of "Who I Wouldn't Mind Getting To Know."
  • I'lyana Rhiki: A Miqo'te Tayn happened upon when he was reflecting on the events in Aurum Vale. She was fairly adept in receiving Tayn's wisecracks, and equally adept in reciprocating them. A stray from Ul'dah, or so she claims.
  • Lyse Crofte: A Highlander that Tayn happened to meet through Lily, who is as stalwart as a mountain, and as tenacious as a cockroach. They're on pretty good terms, considering.

The Rumor Mill

  • Common Rumors (Easily overheard)
    • "Annoying."
    • "He needs to learn how to chew with his mouth closed."


  • Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear)
    • "Annoying!"
    • "He cares about people, even if he has a funny way of showing it. And I don't mean 'haha' funny."


  • Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard)
    • "Yeah, I've heard of him. He's a member of Corvus Cinis. Makes sense, since he can't sit still for long, always moving about."


  • PC Rumors (From Other Characters)
    • "He has absolutely no tact whatsoever, and that always lands him into trouble. However...he is someone you can trust with just about anything. Anything..." - Lily Dawnsworn
    • "Tayn? Ah yes...he has an uncanny knack for finding sandwiches...and trouble. And pissing people off. And telling inappropriate jokes. All in all, he's fun to have around." - Alothia Starkwood
    • "He's kind of... impossible to gauge, you know? He's a huge lecherous sandwich fetishist, but I guess he's kind of useful? Sometimes? - Rio van Rosch
    • "There is much more to the man than his outward demeanor. But I do not question his heart for a moment. A lover of life, that one - and sandwiches... if he could but eat them with his pearl turned off... " - Eric Verus
    • "He's an idiot sometimes, and no one can deny that... but he's my idiot and he brings out the best in me. He is the best man." - Lyse Crofte
    • "...Levity; charisma; leadership; he is possessed of all of these, and mine blade, until the end; ..just don't stand downwind of him." -Kaedril Valindros
