Even Gyles thinks.

"Alright..Ye just want me te talk 'bout meself? I can do that.."

In the smelly cove of Crescent, Thanalan, a baby was found in the brush. A Hyur couple took the odd child with a symbol necklace in and raised him as their own. The father was a fisherman, the mother was a slop cook and ran a tavern for travelers that would lose their way. Crescent Cove was a small, well puddle of a fishing hole where not many ventured and those that did were either lost or up to no good.

Gyles was given the last name Starks due to his unknown past and was the last name of the hyurs. Worried about neighbors, his parents took him to a mage that turned the infant into a hyur. For years he happily went on with his life unknowing of the secrets his adopted family held from him. One ill day when he reached twenty of age he entered the tavern to see an alluring Miqo'te. He was in no mood though since he had wished to sail to Limsa and got on the wrong ship, only to be returned to Crescent. Ignoring the woman's advances turned to be a mistake as he found himself unconscious and tied in a strange place. The room was dark and frightening. The woman was strange. She talked to herself in a mirror though realized the mirror was not reflecting the same thing. There were two women, one before him and another in the reflection.

Was frightening and Gyles only wanted to run. Later in time though he learned he was meant as a 'gift' to cheer one of the lasses up. The girls seemed to be not natural as no matter where he ran they were around the corner. Over time Gyles softened to the twins' issues. He did his best to bring smiles while they cried, cook things though usually caught them on fire..sometimes. And created mass gardens to bring them blooms. Slowly he no longer felt trapped.

He was crushed one day when Surilian, one of the twins, walked up to release him from duty forever. She turned, leaving him behind in Ul'dah as she escaped to live in Limsa. Lost and confused he stumbled trying to sell his blooms to those in Ul'dah. His heart though didn't seem fully of happiness now only wishing to serve the frightened girls. He knew their secrets, missed their fights and repairing the house time and time again. He turned his sights towards Limsa(This time taking the right boat).

He was not surprised that when he landed on the shores, he'd catch wind of at least one of the twins name on someone's lips. Liana always kept hidden in the shadows and once upon a time so did Surilian. Though he couldn't believe his luck to hear a customer of Surilian's gushing over their new clothing. He had to find her! Thankfully he did and begged for work. He was annoyed though to find out the position was filled by a Elezen! (He was still a hyur mind you). He felt he could do just as good of a job! Surilian offered him work but then later offered him back his old job. A job she preferred to keep under the table and out of sight. He bowed to her and swore to hold her secrets yet again and accepted the title Gardener. To tend the plants and pull out the 'weeds' may it be on their land or..where ever she wishes him.

During a event while Gyles was goofing around he drank what he thought was ale and awoke as a duskwhite. He was horrified and raced off to find answers. He thought he was simply sick! Only to later hear the truth from his parents. He had always been Elezen...his parents unknown. That the drink simply undid the magic. Gyles torn stumbled drunk from Ul'dah out into the shroud. There for the first time he broke down. His usuals smiles gone as he tried to make sense of what was told to him. How much of a lie was his life? Though when it all looked dark, A mandragora with a strange happiness tumbled out of the brush for his meal. He paniced and later realized....no matter where he ran the gora would pop out for that meal. It reminded him so much of Surilian and the group she was creating. He pulled himself up and out of his depression, adopted the gora and turned with a bright new purpose.

Gyles after all was the 'Gardner'. Twas his way to smile and clean up whatever needed to be done. Make the world beautiful no matter what. And would easily stand by his 'sister' where ever she wishes to extend her 'claw'.

♦ Behaviour Gyles usually prefers to carry a laid back, humorous nature(though may fail). He does though know when to be serious. Especially on missions assigned just for him. He prefers to talk his way out of conflict and believes straight out groveling or crying will get him out. Surprisingly enough Gyles is a very good fighter though still is working on managing his mage skills. He can keep a calm, cold smile during missions though sadly his panic and nerves do kick in strongly outside of the battle field. He is much more focused and calm if he is out in the field(even if he prefers to plant flowers). Gyles can be sometimes socially awkward unless he feels a friend is sad or in trouble. Gyles is over cautious. (Don't expect him to jump into a fight to save you unless your female AND he knows her a bit. ) Gyles tends to over analyze things. That seems to be the trait his boss uses the most since his insight can be very useful.

♦ Appearance Face: Gyles's greatest pride is his mustache. Its probably the only bit of body hair he'll ever grow! He loves to go along the joke everyone says, that he paints it on. Though its not true and he does not....he does love a good joke. His face is slightly long but ovalish. His eyes though narrow are usually kind. He has quite a few many scars over his cheeks from those who didn't appreciate his jokes. Either way its his smile he does his best to never lose no matter how many spat in his eye. Eyes: Gyles's eyes had always been a warm,clear blue. Sadly he lost one of his during a mishap. The patch is definitely not for looks any longer. Over that injured eye, runs a scar over most of his face. He doesn't seem to mind it though. Since the loss of his eye, a group of mages were kind enough to grant him a glass eye. Though it looks real at first glance, it doesn't work not move correctly. A tattoo like symbols over the eye seals the eye with magical properties. He keeps this eye covered till he really needs it (severe conditions) Hair: Jet black. He likes to keep it either tied back sleek or spiked in all directions. He finds no use for it to be to long. It only gets in the way. Body: Thin but a lean like muscular structure due to his long hours of gardening and moving things around. He may not train with a weapon but moving rocks from point A to point be seems enough to keep him in shape.

♦ Combat "Combat? Ye crazy?! I dig 'oles and plant seeds in the ground. The only weapon I'll be liftin' be me garden tools and 'ands fer coverin' me face! Look, if ye kill people and want 'oles te put 'em in. Ye can call me! Then I'll plant a nice tree on 'heir face. Nobody will notice." *Side note: Gyles is actually a very panicky mage with little understanding of his gift.Though he is learning to harnish it, he would rather run. He has been known to wield a shovel but does keep a staff hidden on his person. He also has a glass eye that has a special talent to see what most can not, be it through walls, or further away..though ..prefers to keep it covered in shame of losing it in the first place. *

💘 Crush 💗 Sexual Desire ❤ In love with 💑 In a relationship ● Good Standing ● Neutral Standing ● Poor Standing

Friends ● Fishstick (Mandragora Companion) – The strange little creature has now become a 'son' to him. He cared a ton for Fishstick. The creature got its name by seeming to love fish cut in strips. Either way, Gyles would never wish to be without his friend. ● Sylvaintel Simler – The brother! Gyles cares a ton for this male. Though have a bit of jealousy/ rivalry with the Elezen. Though he knows his race is to have issues with Sylv's, he doesn't really care. He would give his other eye for the man and looks up to him greatly. ● Surilian Blu – The "wee lass". Though she was always his 'boss. Gyles feels protective of the girl. He remembers her when she was more scared and timid then he was! Now she is strong and a bit scary but he knows...deep down, she is still that scared girl. He appreciates her strength but is more then happy when she pulls him aside and breaks down to her weakness. She is the sister he never had. ● Liana Blu – The Fiery lass . This girl has always made Gyles sigh. She was a strong flirt but the look in her eyes made Gyles believe she was as scared as her sister though put up a strong front. Like him, she preferred humor though was a bit meaner about it. He missed her a bit though since she vanished. He has talked to Suri about it but the girl changes the topic. ● Akama Kharn – The Fist. Sees this male like a close brother. At first he was unsure though after following him a while and watching from the shadows he liked this man more and more. He smiled slowly, seeing this Seeker cared for his 'wee lass'. He knew full well how stubborn that girl can be when she has her mind on something. Without the man's or the girl's knowledge, Gyles took it on himself to wiggle his magic both their way. He would slowly weave his twisted words around Surilian then turn his gaze to Akama. Lets pray his gift of sight has not failed him. ● Nataru Rahz – The Angel. When he met this woman he thought he saw an angel. He fell head over heels for her though as Sylv smiled and waved his light charm, Gyles kept his mouth shut. He accepted being Nataru's friend though swallowed his feelings. He would quietly work the gardens while she smiled and laughed. At times he loved her pulling him aside to chat. In the end his heart tore when she asked him on a 'friendly' date. One that never happened but it stung. He later heard she was engaged to the lass named, Llaine Tetheros. Gyles stepped back and watched, swallowing the shattered feeling once again though, it was her smile that healed the pain. As long as she was happy.......so will he. ● X'nahare Rahz– The Siren. His first real love and one he probably clung to to much. He worshiped her. Loved her. Did his best to give her all he could. He was even trying his best to step out to get to know the others from his own shadows. Perhaps he tried to hard. He was devastate to hear she had been with another. Not any other! But the brother of the man he smiled upon. She begged for forgiveness and in the end his heart softened. He agreed then left for a day. A DAY twas all it took. He came home to surprise her with a gift only to find her, Qubh'li and a stranger on the lawn. The stranger declared she was with her mate. It shook him to his knees. Lies His mind would echo. All of it were lies or some sick twisted game. He could take no more. She didn't deny the claims in front of the stranger and that was answer enough. "Siren. I named ye right. Caller o men and then brake 'em be what ye do. I 'ate meh clarity o sight some days..I swear."

Acquaintances ● Qubh'li Kharn – * Can only slow golf clap and walk away.* " No hard feelings. The best man won. Obviously I'm no where as good as ye." Gyles can not bring himself to hate the man. Why should he? Qub saw what he wanted and took it. Should he not do the same one day? Sadly Gyles knows he would only give a woman full freedom. "Why restrain a flower when she blooms better in a field then in a pot?" ● Nazyl Tharazyl – ● Isaac Leonard – ● Artorias Mason – ● William Harrowton – ● Azami Lihzeh – ● Llaine Tetheros – Enemies & Rivals ● " I have enemies?! Nay!!!! " -
