==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bodiford''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family name, Bodiford, is one of the oldest [[Hyur]] names in [[Eorzea]].  It was originally a name for a person who worked as a coppersmith or a dealer in ''baterie'', which is a term for beaten copper or brassware.  The surname, Bodiford, is possibly derived from the word ''bateor'', meaning ''one who beats''.  The surname may also be a short form of the word ''orbatour'', which means ''a beater of gold''.  Variations of the surname include: ''Batsford, Batesford, Batisford, Botsford, Botsforth,'' and many more.      &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Bodiford ancestors came to Eorzea during the first great Hyur migratory wave in the [http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61230-An-Eorzean-Timeline.| Sixth Astral Era].  Specializing in metalworking, the Bodifords naturally settled in the great city-state of [[Ul'dah]] due to it's abundant mineral resources.  Seeing a vast potential for prominence and wealth, they eventually transitioned their brass and copper smithing trade into a successful goldsmithing and fine jewelry company which came to be known as, &amp;quot;Bodiford &amp;amp; Sons.&amp;quot;  Many generations of Bodifords have all been influential members of the [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Category:Guild#Goldsmiths.27_Guild| Goldsmith's Guild] including Adam's father, Henry Thomas Bodiford the 3rd.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Adam was just a wee lad, Henry would often take him to the Coliseum to watch the mighty gladiators compete.  Needless to say, he developed a fascination for the art of the blade at an early age.  For his 15th birthday he received his first wooden Macuahuitl.  His father would often throw a few [https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Gil Gil] to the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Brass_Blades Brass Blade] officers at the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Scorpion_Crossing Scorpion Crossing] outpost in [https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Western_Thanalan Western Thanalan] to let his boy go a few rounds with their striking dummies.  It was cheaper than buying him his own.  Plus, his Mum wasn't to keen on him playing with swords.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[https://adambodiford.tumblr.com Adam Bodiford] is a noble and highly ambitious young man who’s greatest downfall is that he occasionally puts too much pressure on himself.  This began to manifest itself in the form of anxiety during his early teenage years.  Sometimes when meeting new people or facing unfamiliar or awkward situations his nerves tend to get the better of him.  However, he is too driven and determined to succeed to let it keep him from achieving greatness!  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you first meet Adam, he might come across as quiet and reserved, but don’t let that stop you from saying hello.  Usually he’s either deep in thought or just observing the situation and goings on around him. He loves a good conversation as much as anybody and once he feels comfortable, he can carry on with the best of them. His Mum raised him to be a well-mannered gentleman and he would never intentionally be rude, even to strangers.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ever the hopeless romantic, he often finds himself looking for love in all the wrong places. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Throughout his life Adam has never wanted for anything. Most that know him wouldn’t go so far as to call him “spoiled” but it’s fair to say he never fully developed an appreciation for the value of hard work. All of that changed after setting upon the path of the Adventurer. Having to perform the menial tasks of those he once looked down upon just to gain favor with the Ul'dahn citizens was quite a humbling experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being surrounded by money his whole life, Adam really could care less about wealth.  He only sees it as a means to an end, and would rather be remembered for glory rather than gold.  The same glory bestowed upon the gladiators he idolized as a child.  The same glory that the Warriors of Light brought upon Eorzea!  As far as Adam is concerned, the glory of victory in battle is worth more than all the Gil in Ul'dah!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Aspirations==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It would seem that Adam’s path was laid out for him:  become a Goldsmith, take over the family business, bask in the success of many generations and live happily and wealthily ever after.  There was only one problem with that...he had no interest in the life of a Goldsmith whatsoever!  The thought of being chained to a grinding wheel, day in and day out, hammering away - always hammering - was a torture he simply could not endure.  An Adventurer's life is a dangerous one...but it was always the ''only'' life for young Adam.  He always said, &amp;quot;I may end up a vagabond on [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Pearl_Lane Pearl Lane], but at least I chose my own path!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as Adam became of age he marched down to [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/The_Quicksand The Quicksand] to join the Adventurer's guild.  Given his love for the arena, joining the Gladiator's guild seemed the next most logical choice.  Who knows where this noble Adventurer will end up?  There are rumors speculating of new guilds and disciplines of the blade being taught in distance lands, such as: the [https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Rogue Rogue], the [https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Ninja Ninja], and the [https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Paladin Paladin].  Only time will tell as the Adventure of Adam Bodiford unfolds!       &lt;br /&gt;

==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bodiford''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family name, Bodiford, is one of the oldest [[Hyur]] names in [[Eorzea]].  It was originally a name for a person who worked as a coppersmith or a dealer in ''baterie'', which is a term for beaten copper or brassware.  The surname, Bodiford, is possibly derived from the word ''bateor'', meaning ''one who beats''.  The surname may also be a short form of the word ''orbatour'', which means ''a beater of gold''.  Variations of the surname include: ''Batsford, Batesford, Batisford, Botsford, Botsforth,'' and many more.      &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Bodiford ancestors came to Eorzea during the first great Hyur migratory wave in the [http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61230-An-Eorzean-Timeline.| Sixth Astral Era].  Specializing in metalworking, the Bodifords naturally settled in the great city-state of [[Ul'dah]] due to it's abundant mineral resources.  Seeing a vast potential for prominence and wealth, they eventually transitioned their brass and copper smithing trade into a successful goldsmithing and fine jewelry company which came to be known as, &amp;quot;Bodiford &amp;amp; Sons.&amp;quot;  Many generations of Bodifords have all been influential members of the [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Category:Guild#Goldsmiths.27_Guild| Goldsmith's Guild] including Adam's father, Henry Thomas Bodiford the 3rd.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Adam was just a wee lad, Henry would often take him to the Coliseum to watch the mighty gladiators compete.  Needless to say, he developed a fascination for the art of the blade at an early age.  For his 15th birthday he received his first wooden Macuahuitl.  His father would often throw a few [https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Gil Gil] to the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Brass_Blades Brass Blade] officers at the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Scorpion_Crossing Scorpion Crossing] outpost in [https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Western_Thanalan Western Thanalan] to let his boy go a few rounds with their striking dummies.

==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bodiford''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family name, Bodiford, is one of the oldest [[Hyur]] names in [[Eorzea]].  It was originally a name for a person who worked as a coppersmith or a dealer in ''baterie'', which is a term for beaten copper or brassware.  The surname, Bodiford, is possibly derived from the word ''bateor'', meaning ''one who beats''.  The surname may also be a short form of the word ''orbatour'', which means ''a beater of gold''.  Variations of the surname include: ''Batsford, Batesford, Batisford, Botsford, Botsforth,'' and many more.      &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Bodiford ancestors came to Eorzea during the first great Hyur migratory wave in the [http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61230-An-Eorzean-Timeline.| Sixth Astral Era].  Specializing in metalworking, the Bodifords naturally settled in the great city-state of [[Ul'dah]] due to it's abundant mineral resources.  Seeing a vast potential for prominence and wealth, they eventually transitioned their brass and copper smithing trade into a successful goldsmithing and fine jewelry company which came to be known as, &amp;quot;Bodiford &amp;amp; Sons.&amp;quot;  Many generations of Bodifords have all been influential members of the [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Category:Guild#Goldsmiths.27_Guild| Goldsmith's Guild] including Adam's father, Henry Thomas Bodiford the 3rd.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Adam was just a wee lad, Henry would often take him to the Coliseum to watch the mighty gladiators compete.  Needless to say, he developed a fascination for the art of the blade at an early age.  For his 15th birthday he received his first wooden Macuahuitl.  His father would often throw a few [https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Gil Gil] to the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Brass_Blades Brass Blade] officers at the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Scorpion_Crossing Scorpion Crossing] outpost in [https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Western_Thanalan Western Thanalan] to let his boy go a few rounds with their striking dummies.  It was cheaper than buying him his own.  Plus, his Mum wasn't to keen on him playing with swords.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Adam Bodiford is a noble and highly ambitious young man who’s greatest downfall is that he occasionally puts too much pressure on himself.  This began to manifest itself in the form of anxiety during his early teenage years.  Sometimes when meeting new people or facing unfamiliar or awkward situations his nerves tend to get the better of him.  However, he is too driven and determined to succeed to let it keep him from achieving greatness!  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you first meet Adam, he might come across as quiet and reserved, but don’t let that stop you from saying hello.  Usually he’s either deep in thought or just observing the situation and goings on around him. He loves a good conversation as much as anybody and once he feels comfortable, he can carry on with the best of them. His Mum raised him to be a well-mannered gentleman and he would never intentionally be rude, even to strangers.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout his life Adam has never wanted for anything. Most that know him wouldn’t go so far as to call him “spoiled” but it’s fair to say he never fully developed an appreciation for the value of hard work. All of that changed after setting upon the path of the Adventurer. Having to perform the menial tasks of those he once looked down upon just to gain favor with the Ul'dahn citizens was quite a humbling experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being surrounded by money his whole life, Adam really could care less about wealth.  He only sees it as a means to an end, and would rather be remembered for glory rather than gold.  The same glory bestowed upon the gladiators he idolized as a child.  The same glory that the Warriors of Light brought upon Eorzea!  As far as Adam is concerned, the glory of victory in battle is worth more than all the Gil in Ul'dah!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Aspirations==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It would seem that Adam’s path was laid out for him:  become a Goldsmith, take over the family business, bask in the success of many generations and live happily and wealthily ever after.  There was only one problem with that...he had no interest in the life of a Goldsmith whatsoever!  The thought of being chained to a grinding wheel, day in and day out, hammering away - always hammering - was a torture he simply could not endure.  An Adventurer's life is a dangerous one...but it was always the ''only'' life for young Adam.  He always said, &amp;quot;I may end up a vagabond on [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Pearl_Lane Pearl Lane], but at least I chose my own path!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as Adam became of age he marched down to [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/The_Quicksand The Quicksand] to join the Adventurer's guild.  Given his love for the arena, joining the Gladiator's guild seemed the next most logical choice.  Who knows where this noble Adventurer will end up?  There are rumors speculating of new guilds and disciplines of the blade being taught in distance lands, such as: the [https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Rogue Rogue], the [https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Ninja Ninja], and the [https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Paladin Paladin].  Only time will tell as the Adventure of Adam Bodiford unfolds!       &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bodiford''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family name, Bodiford, is one of the oldest [[Hyur]] names in [[Eorzea]].  It was originally a name for a person who worked as a coppersmith or a dealer in ''baterie'', which is a term for beaten copper or brassware.  The surname, Bodiford, is possibly derived from the word ''bateor'', meaning ''one who beats''.  The surname may also be a short form of the word ''orbatour'', which means ''a beater of gold''.  Variations of the surname include: ''Batsford, Batesford, Batisford, Botsford, Botsforth,'' and many more.      &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Bodiford ancestors came to Eorzea during the first great Hyur migratory wave in the [http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61230-An-Eorzean-Timeline.| Sixth Astral Era].  Specializing in metalworking, the Bodifords naturally settled in the great city-state of [[Ul'dah]] due to it's abundant mineral resources.  Seeing a vast potential for prominence and wealth, they eventually transitioned their brass and copper smithing trade into a successful goldsmithing and fine jewelry company which came to be known as, &amp;quot;Bodiford &amp;amp; Sons.&amp;quot;  Many generations of Bodifords have all been influential members of the [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Category:Guild#Goldsmiths.27_Guild| Goldsmith's Guild] including Adam's father, Henry Thomas Bodiford the 3rd.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Adam was just a wee lad, Henry would often take him to the Coliseum to watch the mighty gladiators compete.  Needless to say, he developed a fascination for the art of the blade at an early age.  For his 15th birthday he received his first wooden Macuahuitl.  His father would often throw a few [https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Gil Gil] to the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Brass_Blades Brass Blade] officers at the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Scorpion_Crossing Scorpion Crossing] outpost in Western Thanalan to let his boy go a few rounds with their striking dummies.  It was cheaper than buying him his own.  Plus, his Mum wasn't to keen on him playing with swords.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Adam Bodiford is a noble and highly ambitious young man who’s greatest downfall is that he occasionally puts too much pressure on himself.  This began to manifest itself in the form of anxiety during his early teenage years.  Sometimes when meeting new people or facing unfamiliar or awkward situations his nerves tend to get the better of him.  However, he is too driven and determined to succeed to let it keep him from achieving greatness!  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you first meet Adam, he might come across as quiet and reserved, but don’t let that stop you from saying hello.  Usually he’s either deep in thought or just observing the situation and goings on around him. He loves a good conversation as much as anybody and once he feels comfortable, he can carry on with the best of them. His Mum raised him to be a well-mannered gentleman and he would never intentionally be rude, even to strangers.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout his life Adam has never wanted for anything. Most that know him wouldn’t go so far as to call him “spoiled” but it’s fair to say he never fully developed an appreciation for the value of hard work. All of that changed after setting upon the path of the Adventurer. Having to perform the menial tasks of those he once looked down upon just to gain favor with the Ul'dahn citizens was quite a humbling experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bodiford''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family name, Bodiford, is one of the oldest [[Hyur]] names in [[Eorzea]].  It was originally a name for a person who worked as a coppersmith or a dealer in ''baterie'', which is a term for beaten copper or brassware.  The surname, Bodiford, is possibly derived from the word ''bateor'', meaning ''one who beats''.  The surname may also be a short form of the word ''orbatour'', which means ''a beater of gold''.  Variations of the surname include: ''Batsford, Batesford, Batisford, Botsford, Botsforth,'' and many more.      &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Bodiford ancestors came to Eorzea during the first great Hyur migratory wave in the [http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61230-An-Eorzean-Timeline.| Sixth Astral Era].  Specializing in metalworking, the Bodifords naturally settled in the great city-state of [[Ul'dah]] due to it's abundant mineral resources.  Seeing a vast potential for prominence and wealth, they eventually transitioned their brass and copper smithing trade into a successful goldsmithing and fine jewelry company which came to be known as, &amp;quot;Bodiford &amp;amp; Sons.&amp;quot;  Many generations of Bodifords have all been influential members of the [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Category:Guild#Goldsmiths.27_Guild| Goldsmith's Guild] including Adam's father, Henry Thomas Bodiford the 3rd.    &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Adam Bodiford is a noble and highly ambitious young man who’s greatest downfall is that he occasionally puts too much pressure on himself.  This began to manifest itself in the form of anxiety during his early teenage years.  Sometimes when meeting new people or facing unfamiliar or awkward situations his nerves tend to get the better of him.  However, he is too driven and determined to succeed to let it keep him from achieving greatness!  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you first meet Adam, he might come across as quiet and reserved, but don’t let that stop you from saying hello.  Usually he’s either deep in thought or just observing the situation and goings on around him. He loves a good conversation as much as anybody and once he feels comfortable, he can carry on with the best of them. His Mum raised him to be a well-mannered gentleman and he would never intentionally be rude, even to strangers.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout his life Adam has never wanted for anything. Most that know him wouldn’t go so far as to call him “spoiled” but it’s fair to say he never fully developed an appreciation for the value of hard work. All of that changed after setting upon the path of the Adventurer. Having to perform the menial tasks of those he once looked down upon just to gain favor with the Ul'dahn citizens was quite a humbling experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being surrounded by money his whole life, Adam really could care less about wealth.  He only sees it as a means to an end, and would rather be remembered for glory rather than gold.  The same glory bestowed upon the gladiators he idolized as a child.  The same glory that the Warriors of Light brought upon Eorzea!

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It would seem that Adam’s path was laid out for him:  become a Goldsmith, take over the family business, bask in the success of many generations and live happily and wealthily ever after.  There was only one problem with that...he had no interest in the life of a Goldsmith whatsoever!  The thought of being chained to a grinding wheel, day in and day out, hammering away - always hammering - was a torture he simply could not endure.  An Adventurer's life is a dangerous one...but it was always the ''only'' life for young Adam.  He always said, &amp;quot;I may end up a vagabond on [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Pearl_Lane| Pearl Lane], but at least I chose my own path!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bodiford''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family name, Bodiford, is one of the oldest [[Hyur]] names in [[Eorzea]].  It was originally a name for a person who worked as a coppersmith or a dealer in ''baterie'', which is a term for beaten copper or brassware.  The surname, Bodiford, is possibly derived from the word ''bateor'', meaning ''one who beats''.  The surname may also be a short form of the word ''orbatour'', which means ''a beater of gold''.  Variations of the surname include: ''Batsford, Batesford, Batisford, Botsford, Botsforth,'' and many more.      &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Bodiford ancestors came to Eorzea during the first great Hyur migratory wave in the [http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61230-An-Eorzean-Timeline.| Sixth Astral Era].  Specializing in metalworking, the Bodifords naturally settled in the great city-state of [[Ul'dah]] due to it's abundant mineral resources.  Seeing a vast potential for prominence and wealth, they eventually transitioned their brass and copper smithing trade into a successful goldsmithing and fine jewelry company which came to be known as, &amp;quot;Bodiford &amp;amp; Sons.&amp;quot;  Many generations of Bodifords have all been influential members of the [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Category:Guild#Goldsmiths.27_Guild| Goldsmith's Guild] including Adam's father, Henry Thomas Bodiford the 3rd.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Adam was just a wee lad, Henry would often take him to the Coliseum to watch the mighty gladiators compete.  Needless to say, he developed a fascination for the art of the blade at an early age.  For his 15th birthday he received his first wooden Macuahuitl.  His father would often throw a few [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Gil| Gil] to the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Brass_Blades| Brass Blade] officers at the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Scorpion_Crossing| Scorpion Crossing] outpost in Western Thanalan to let his boy go a few rounds with their striking dummies.  It was cheaper than buying him his own.  Plus, his Mum wasn't to keen on him playing with swords.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Adam Bodiford is a noble and highly ambitious young man who’s greatest downfall is that he occasionally puts too much pressure on himself.  This began to manifest itself in the form of anxiety during his early teenage years.  Sometimes when meeting new people or facing unfamiliar or awkward situations his nerves tend to get the better of him.  However, he is too driven and determined to succeed to let it keep him from achieving greatness!  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you first meet Adam, he might come across as quiet and reserved, but don’t let that stop you from saying hello.  Usually he’s either deep in thought or just observing the situation and goings on around him. He loves a good conversation as much as anybody and once he feels comfortable, he can carry on with the best of them. His Mum raised him to be a well-mannered gentleman and he would never intentionally be rude, even to strangers.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout his life Adam has never wanted for anything. Most that know him wouldn’t go so far as to call him “spoiled” but it’s fair to say he never fully developed an appreciation for the value of hard work. All of that changed after setting upon the path of the Adventurer. Having to perform the menial tasks of those he once looked down upon just to gain favor with the Ul'dahn citizens was quite a humbling experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being surrounded by money his whole life, Adam really could care less about wealth.  He only sees it as a means to an end, and would rather be remembered for glory rather than gold.  The same glory bestowed upon the gladiators he idolized as a child.  The same glory that the Warriors of Light brought upon Eorzea!  As far as Adam is concerned, the glory of victory in battle is worth more than all the Gil in Ul'dah!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Aspirations==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It would seem that Adam’s path was laid out for him:  become a Goldsmith, take over the family business, bask in the success of many generations and live happily and wealthily ever after.  There was only one problem with that...he had no interest in the life of a Goldsmith whatsoever!  The thought of being chained to a grinding wheel, day in and day out, hammering away - always hammering - was a torture he simply could not endure.  An Adventurer's life is a dangerous one...but it was always the ''only'' life for young Adam.  He always said, &amp;quot;I may end up a vagabond on [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Pearl_Lane| Pearl Lane], but at least I chose my own path!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as Adam became of age he marched down to [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/The_Quicksand| The Quicksand] to join the Adventurer's guild.  Given his love for the arena, joining the Gladiator's guild seemed the next most logical choice.  Who knows where this noble Adventurer will end up?  There are rumors speculating of new guilds and disciplines of the blade being taught in distance lands, such as: the Rogue, the Ninja, and the Paladin.  Only time will tell as the Adventure of Adam Bodiford unfolds!       &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Adam Bodiford is a noble and highly ambitious young man who’s greatest downfall is that he occasionally puts too much pressure on himself.  This began to manifest itself in the form of anxiety during his early teenage years.  Sometimes when meeting new people or facing unfamiliar or awkward situations his nerves tend to get the better of him.  However, he is too driven and determined to succeed to let it keep him from achieving greatness!  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you first meet Adam, he might come across as quiet and reserved, but don’t let that stop you from saying hello.  Usually he’s either deep in thought or just observing the situation and goings on around him. He loves a good conversation as much as anybody and once he feels comfortable, he can carry on with the best of them. His Mum raised him to be a well-mannered gentleman and he would never intentionally be rude, even to strangers.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout his life Adam has never wanted for anything. Most that know him wouldn’t go so far as to call him “spoiled” but it’s fair to say he never fully developed an appreciation for the value of hard work. All of that changed after setting upon the path of the Adventurer. Having to perform the menial tasks of those he once looked down upon just to gain favor with the Ul'dahn citizens was quite a humbling experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being surrounded by money his whole life, Adam really could care less about wealth.  He only sees it as a means to an end, and would rather be remembered for glory rather than gold.  The same glory bestowed upon the gladiators he idolized as a child.  The same glory that the Warriors of Light brought upon Eorzea!  As far as Adam is concerned, the glory of victory in battle is worth more than all the Gil in Ul'dah!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Aspirations==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It would seem that Adam’s path was laid out for him:  become a Goldsmith, take over the family business, bask in the success of many generations and live happily and wealthily ever after.  There was only one problem with that...he had no interest in the life of a Goldsmith whatsoever!  The thought of being chained to a grinding wheel, day in and day out, hammering away - always hammering - was a torture he simply could not endure.  An Adventurer's life is a dangerous one...but it was always the ''only'' life for young Adam.  He always said, &amp;quot;I may end up a vagabond on [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Pearl_Lane| Pearl Lane], but at least I chose my own path!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as Adam became of age he marched down to [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/The_Quicksand| The Quicksand] to join the Adventurer's guild.  Given his love for the arena, joining the Gladiator's guild seemed the next most logical choice.  Who knows where this noble Adventurer will end up?  There are rumors speculating of new guilds and disciplines of the blade being taught in distance lands, such as: the Rogue, the Ninja, and the Paladin.  Only time will tell as the Adventure of Adam Bodiford unfolds!       &lt;br /&gt;

==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bodiford''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family name, Bodiford, is one of the oldest [[Hyur]] names in [[Eorzea]].  It was originally a name for a person who worked as a coppersmith or a dealer in ''baterie'', which is a term for beaten copper or brassware.  The surname, Bodiford, is possibly derived from the word ''bateor'', meaning ''one who beats''.  The surname may also be a short form of the word ''orbatour'', which means ''a beater of gold''.  Variations of the surname include: ''Batsford, Batesford, Batisford, Botsford, Botsforth,'' and many more.      &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Specializing in metalworking, the Bodifords naturally settled in the great city-state of [[Ul'dah]] due to it's abundant mineral resources.  Seeing a vast potential for prominence and wealth, they eventually transitioned their brass and copper smithing trade into a successful goldsmithing and fine jewelry company which came to be known as, &amp;quot;Bodiford &amp;amp; Sons.&amp;quot;  Many generations of Bodifords have all been influential members of the [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Category:Guild#Goldsmiths.27_Guild| Goldsmith's Guild] including Adam's father, Henry Thomas Bodiford the 3rd.    &lt;br /&gt;

When Adam was just a wee lad, Henry would often take him to the Coliseum to watch the mighty gladiators compete.

Noble, Gentle, Measured, Pensive, Methodical, Observant, Focused, Ambitious. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you first meet Adam, you might mistake his quiet, somber demeanor for shyness or apathy.  It’s fair to say he’s not exactly outgoing, but don’t be hesitant to say hello.  Usually he’s either deep in thought or just observing the situation and goings on around him. He loves a good conversation as much as anybody and can carry on with the best of them. His Mum raised him to be a well-mannered gentleman.  He would never intentionally be rude…even to strangers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adam was always a care-free spirit, never wanting for anything.  Most that know him wouldn't go so far as to call him &amp;quot;spoiled,&amp;quot; but it's fair to say he never fully developed an appreciation for the value of hard work.  All of that changed, of course, after setting upon the path of the Adventurer.  Having to perform the menial tasks of those he once looked down upon just to gain favor with the Ul'dahn citizens was quite a humbling experience.    &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Despite being surrounded by money his whole life, Adam really couldn't care less about wealth.  He only sees it as a means to an end, and would rather be remembered for glory rather than gold. The same glory bestowed upon the gladiators he idolized as a child, the same glory that the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Warriors_of_Light| Warriors of Light] brought upon Eorzea!

&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bodiford''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family name, Bodiford, is one of the oldest [[Hyur]] names in [[Eorzea]].  It was originally a name for a person who worked as a coppersmith or a dealer in ''baterie'', which is a term for beaten copper or brassware.  The surname, Bodiford, is possibly derived from the word ''bateor'', meaning ''one who beats''.  The surname may also be a short form of the word ''orbatour'', which means ''a beater of gold''.  Variations of the surname include: ''Batsford, Batesford, Batisford, Botsford, Botsforth,'' and many more.      &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Bodiford ancestors came to Eorzea during the first great Hyur migratory wave in the [http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61230-An-Eorzean-Timeline.| Sixth Astral Era].  Specializing in metalworking, the Bodifords naturally settled in the great city-state of [[Ul'dah]] due to it's abundant mineral resources.  Seeing a vast potential for prominence and wealth, they eventually transitioned their brass and copper smithing trade into a successful goldsmithing and fine jewelry company which came to be known as, &amp;quot;Bodiford &amp;amp; Sons.&amp;quot;  Many generations of Bodifords have all been influential members of the [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Category:Guild#Goldsmiths.27_Guild| Goldsmith's Guild] including Adam's father, Henry Thomas Bodiford the 3rd.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Adam was just a wee lad, Henry would often take him to the Coliseum to watch the mighty gladiators compete.  Needless to say, he developed a fascination for the art of the blade at an early age.  For his 15th birthday he received his first wooden Macuahuitl.  His father would often throw a few [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Gil| Gil] to the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Brass_Blades| Brass Blade] officers at the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Scorpion_Crossing| Scorpion Crossing] outpost in Western Thanalan to let his boy go a few rounds with their striking dummies.  It was cheaper than buying him his own.  Plus, his Mum wasn't to keen on him playing with swords.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Noble, Gentle, Measured, Pensive, Methodical, Observant, Focused, Ambitious. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you first meet Adam, you might mistake his quiet, somber demeanor for shyness or apathy.  It’s fair to say he’s not exactly outgoing, but don’t be hesitant to say hello.  Usually he’s either deep in thought or just observing the situation and goings on around him. He loves a good conversation as much as anybody and can carry on with the best of them. His Mum raised him to be a well-mannered gentleman.  He would never intentionally be rude…even to strangers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adam was always a care-free spirit, never wanting for anything.  Most that know him wouldn't go so far as to call him &amp;quot;spoiled,&amp;quot; but it's fair to say he never fully developed an appreciation for the value of hard work.  All of that changed, of course, after setting upon the path of the Adventurer.  Having to perform the menial tasks of those he once looked down upon just to gain favor with the Ul'dahn citizens was quite a humbling experience.    &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Despite being surrounded by money his whole life, Adam really couldn't care less about wealth.  He only sees it as a means to an end, and would rather be remembered for glory rather than gold. The same glory bestowed upon the gladiators he idolized as a child, the same glory that the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Warriors_of_Light| Warriors of Light] brought upon Eorzea!  As far as Adam is concerned, the glory of victory in battle is worth more than all the Gil in Ul'dah!&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Aspirations==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It would seem that Adam’s path was laid out for him:  become a Goldsmith, take over the family business, bask in the success of many generations and live happily and wealthily ever after.  There was only one problem with that...he had no interest in the life of a Goldsmith whatsoever!  The thought of being chained to a grinding wheel, day in and day out, hammering away - always hammering - was a torture he simply could not endure.

When you first meet Adam, you might mistake his quiet, somber demeanor for shyness or apathy.  It’s fair to say he’s not exactly outgoing, but don’t be hesitant to say hello.  Usually he’s either deep in thought or just observing the situation and goings on around him. He loves a good conversation as much as anybody and can carry on with the best of them. His Mum raised him to be a well-mannered gentleman.  He would never intentionally be rude…even to strangers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adam was always a care-free spirit, never wanting for anything.  Most that know him wouldn't go so far as to call him &amp;quot;spoiled,&amp;quot; but it's fair to say he never fully developed an appreciation for the value of hard work.  All of that changed, of course, after setting upon the path of the Adventurer.  Having to perform the menial tasks of those he once looked down upon just to gain favor with the Ul'dahn citizens was quite a humbling experience.    &lt;br /&gt;

It would seem that Adam’s path was laid out for him:  become a Goldsmith, take over the family business, bask in the success of many generations and live happily and wealthily ever after.  There was only one problem with that...he had no interest in the life of a Goldsmith whatsoever!  The thought of being chained to a grinding wheel, day in and day out, hammering away - always hammering - was a torture he simply could not endure.

As soon as Adam became of age he marched down to [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/The_Quicksand| The Quicksand] to join the Adventurer's guild.  Given his love for the arena, joining the Gladiator's guild seemed the next most logical choice.  Who knows where this noble Adventurer will end up?

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bodiford''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family name, Bodiford, is one of the oldest [[Hyur]] names in [[Eorzea]].  It was originally a name for a person who worked as a coppersmith or a dealer in ''baterie'', which is a term for beaten copper or brassware.  The surname, Bodiford, is possibly derived from the word ''bateor'', meaning ''one who beats''.  The surname may also be a short form of the word ''orbatour'', which means ''a beater of gold''.  Variations of the surname include: ''Batsford, Batesford, Batisford, Botsford, Botsforth,'' and many more.      &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Kireina''' - Translated means: &amp;quot;beautiful&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;lovely&amp;quot;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ryori''' - Derived from the word ''ryouri'' which translates into: &amp;quot;cooking,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;cuisine,&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;culinary.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Kireina was a young child, her parents fled their home city of Doma in order to escape the conquest of the Garlean Empire.  With an army rapidly approaching, there was no time to gather riches or possessions.  They were forced to leave their family fortune behind taking only what was needed to make the long journey.  Once wealthy nobles, the Yutaka family had now been reduced to mere commoners.  Gridania was too humble and meager for their lifestyle and they no longer had the means to live in a wealthy city such as Ul'dah, so Limsa Lominsa seemed like the most logical place to seek refuge and make a new start.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kireina's father was able to provide for them by learning the ways of a Fisherman.  Her mother, never having to cook a day in her life, ''eventually'' became a pretty decent Culinarian.  Considering their new professions and status in society, they changed their family surname to &amp;quot;Ryori.&amp;quot;  Young Kireina developed a fine appreciation for food and often assisted her Mum by gathering ingredients for her signature dishes.  Given her father's line of work, she grew up mostly surrounded by filthy pirates and dirty scoundrels.  Yet, as descendants of the Dawn Father, her parents always encouraged her to remain true to her divine heritage.  Despite their modest lifestyle, they still managed to ingrain a sense of nobility into their daughter.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kireina spent most of her educational years studying many disciplines of magic.  Having witnessed firsthand the mass devastation and horror wrought upon her homeland by Magitek, she developed a strong desire to use the power of Aether to help heal and protect rather than destroy.  Given her kind and gentle disposition, she also gained a love of nature and all it's creatures.   &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kireina is just as lovely and beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Her mind is as bright as the glow from her piercing eyes. Your first impression of her might be that she is shy or self-absorbed (depending on the day, you'd be very lucky if you get little more than a smile or nod), however, that is not the case.  Truth be told, she is just highly focused on helping other people, accomplishing her goals, and gaining all the knowledge and skills that she can. She is a spiritual person who's views may be considered &amp;quot;old-fashioned&amp;quot; by some, but her compassionate nature prevents her from looking down on those who might believe or act differently.  She prefers to surround herself with positive influences who would lift her up rather than bring her down.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Goals==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
An ambitious young lass, Kireina promised herself at an early age that one day she would grow up to become an Adventurer and find a way to provide a better life for her family.  While her ultimate aspiration is to become a White Mage, she loves learning and hopes to one-day master all of the trades.  She is currently studying Arcanism and is working towards becoming a Summoner.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Disciplines==&lt;br /&gt;
* Arcanist&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Guilds==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Affiliations==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kireina is not yet affiliated with any groups or companies.  She is always looking for a positive and well-organized Free Company to join who shares her same ideals and ambitions.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Kireina was a young child, her parents fled their home city of Doma in order to escape the conquest of the Garlean Empire.  With an army rapidly approaching, there was no time to gather riches or possessions.  They were forced to leave their family fortune behind taking only what they needed to make the long journey.  Once wealthy nobles, the great Yutaka family had now been reduced to mere commoners.  Gridania was too humble and meager for their lifestyle and they no longer had the means to live in a wealthy city such as, Ul'dah, so Limsa Lominsa seemed like the most logical place to seek refuge and try to make a new start.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kireina's father was able to provide for them by learning the ways of a Fisherman.  Her mother, never having to cook a day in her life, ''eventually'' became a pretty decent Culinarian.  Considering their new professions and status in society, they changed their family surname to &amp;quot;Ryori&amp;quot;.  Young Kireina developed a fine appreciation for food and often assisted her Mum by gathering ingredients for her signature dishes.  Given her father's line of work, she grew up mostly surrounded by filthy pirates and dirty scoundrels.  Yet, as descendants of the Dawn Father, her parents always encouraged her to remain true to her divine heritage.  Despite their modest lifestyle, they still managed to ingrain a sense of nobility into their daughter.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kireina spent most of her educational years studying many disciplines of magic.  Having witnessed firsthand the mass devastation and horror wrought upon her homeland by Magitek, she developed a strong desire to use the power of Aether to help heal and protect rather than destroy.  Given her kind and gentle disposition, she also gained a love of nature and of all it's creatures.   &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kireina is just as lovely and beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Her mind is as bright as the glow from her piercing eyes. Your first impression of her might be that she is shy or self-absorbed (depending on the day, you'd be very lucky if you get little more than a smile or nod), however, that is not the case.  Truth be told, she is just highly focused on helping other people, accomplishing her goals, and gaining all the knowledge and skills that she can. She is a spiritual person who's views may be considered &amp;quot;old-fashioned&amp;quot; by some, but her compassionate nature prevents her from looking down on those who might believe or act differently.  She prefers to surround herself with positive influences who would lift her up rather than try to bring her down.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Goals==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
An ambitious young lass, Kireina promised herself at an early age that one day she would grow up to become an Adventurer and find a way to provide a better life for her family.  While her ultimate aspiration is to become a White Mage, she loves learning and hopes to one-day master all of the trades.  She is currently studying Arcanism and is working towards becoming a Summoner.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Affiliations==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kireina is not yet affiliated with any groups or companies.  She is always looking for a positive and well-organized Free Company to join who shares her same ideals and ambitions.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Kireina''' - Translated means: &amp;quot;beautiful&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;lovely&amp;quot;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ryori''' - Derived from the word ''ryouri'' which translates into: &amp;quot;cooking&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;cuisine&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;culinary&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Kireina was a young child, her parents fled their home city of Doma in order to escape the conquest of the Garlean Empire.  With an army rapidly approaching, there was no time to gather riches or possessions.  They were forced to leave their family fortune behind taking only what they needed to make the long journey.  Once wealthy nobles, the great Yutaka family had now been reduced to mere commoners.  Gridania was too humble and meager for their lifestyle and they no longer had the means to live in a wealthy city such as, Ul'dah, so Limsa Lominsa seemed like the most logical place to seek refuge and try to make a new start.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kireina's father was able to provide for them by learning the ways of a Fisherman.  Her mother, never having to cook a day in her life, ''eventually'' became a pretty decent Culinarian.  Considering their new professions and status in society, they changed their family surname to &amp;quot;Ryori&amp;quot;.  Young Kireina developed a fine appreciation for food and often assisted her Mum by gathering ingredients for her signature dishes.  Given her father's line of work, she grew up mostly surrounded by filthy pirates and dirty scoundrels.  Yet, as descendants of the Dawn Father, her parents always encouraged her to remain true to her divine heritage.  Despite their modest lifestyle, they still managed to ingrain a sense of nobility into their daughter.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kireina spent most of her educational years studying many disciplines of magic.  Having witnessed firsthand the mass devastation and horror wrought upon her homeland by Magitek, she developed a strong desire to use the power of Aether to help heal and protect rather than destroy.  Given her kind and gentle disposition, she also gained a love of nature and of all it's creatures.   &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kireina is just as lovely and beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Her mind is as bright as the glow from her piercing eyes. Your first impression of her might be that she is shy or self-absorbed (depending on the day, you'd be very lucky if you get little more than a smile or nod), however, that is not the case.  Truth be told, she is just highly focused on helping other people, accomplishing her goals, and gaining all the knowledge and skills that she can. She is a spiritual person who's views may be considered &amp;quot;old-fashioned&amp;quot; by some, but her compassionate nature prevents her from looking down on those who might believe or act differently.  She prefers to surround herself with positive influences who would lift her up rather than try to bring her down.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Goals==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
An ambitious young lass, Kireina promised herself at an early age that one day she would grow up to become an Adventurer and find a way to provide a better life for her family.  While her ultimate aspiration is to become a White Mage, she loves learning and hopes to one-day master all of the trades.  She is currently studying Arcanism and is working towards becoming a Summoner.  &lt;br /&gt;

==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bodiford''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family name, Bodiford, is one of the oldest [[Hyur]] names in [[Eorzea]].  It was originally a name for a person who worked as a coppersmith or a dealer in ''baterie'', which is a term for beaten copper or brassware.  The surname, Bodiford, is possibly derived from the word ''bateor'', meaning ''one who beats''.  The surname may also be a short form of the word ''orbatour'', which means ''a beater of gold''.  Variations of the surname include: ''Batsford, Batesford, Batisford, Botsford, Botsforth,'' and many more.      &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Bodiford ancestors came to Eorzea during the first great Hyur migratory wave in the [http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61230-An-Eorzean-Timeline.| Sixth Astral Era].  Specializing in metalworking, the Bodifords naturally settled in the great city-state of [[Ul'dah]] due to it's abundant mineral resources.  Seeing a vast potential for prominence and wealth, they eventually transitioned their brass and copper smithing trade into a successful goldsmithing and fine jewelry company which came to be known as, &amp;quot;Bodiford &amp;amp; Sons.&amp;quot;  Many generations of Bodifords have all been influential members of the [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Category:Guild#Goldsmiths.27_Guild| Goldsmith's Guild] including Adam's father, Henry Thomas Bodiford the 3rd.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Adam was just a wee lad, Henry would often take him to the Coliseum to watch the mighty gladiators compete.  Needless to say, Adam developed a fascination for the art of the blade at an early age.  For his 15th birthday he received his first wooden Macuahuitl.  His father would often throw a few [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Gil| Gil] to the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Brass_Blades| Brass Blade] officers at the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Scorpion_Crossing| Scorpion Crossing] outpost in Western Thanalan to let his boy go a few rounds with their striking dummies.  It was cheaper than buying him his own.  Plus, his Mum wasn't to keen on him playing with swords.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Adam was always a care-free spirit, never wanting for anything.  Most that know him wouldn't go so far as to call him &amp;quot;spoiled,&amp;quot; but it's fair to say he never fully developed an appreciation for the value of hard work.  All of that changed, of course, after setting upon the path of the Adventurer.  Having to perform the menial tasks of those he once looked down upon just to gain favor with the Ul'dahn citizens was quite a humbling experience.    &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Despite being surrounded by money his whole life, Adam really couldn't care less about wealth.  He only sees it as a means to an end, and would rather be remembered for glory rather than gold. The same glory bestowed upon the gladiators he idolized as a child, the same glory that the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Warriors_of_Light| Warriors of Light] brought upon Eorzea!  Many people try to buy glory with wealth.  But that kind of true glory can never be bought!  As far as Adam is concerned, the glory of victory in battle is worth more than all the Gil in Ul'dah!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Goals==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It would seem that Adam's career path was a no-brainer:  become a Goldsmith, take over the family business, bask in the success of many generations and live happily and wealthily ever after.  There was only one problem with that...he had no interest in the life of a Goldsmith whatsoever!  The thought of being chained to a grinding wheel, day in and day out, hammering away - always hammering - was a torture he simply could not endure.  An Adventurer's life is a dangerous one...but it was always the ''only'' life for young Adam.  He always said, &amp;quot;I may end up a vagabond on [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Pearl_Lane| Pearl Lane], but at least I chose my own path!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as Adam became of age he marched down to [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/The_Quicksand| The Quicksand] to join the Adventurer's guild.  Given his love for the arena, joining the Gladiator's guild seemed the next most logical choice.  Who knows where this noble Adventurer will end up?  There are rumors speculating of new guilds and disciplines of the blade being taught in distance lands, such as: the Rogue, the Ninja, and the Paladin.  Only time will tell as the Adventure of Adam Bodiford unfolds!       &lt;br /&gt;

==Basic Info==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Height''':&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;5' 4&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Age''':&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;Mid 20's&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Weight''':&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;Never ask a woman's weight...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Complexion''':&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;Moderately tan.&amp;amp;nbsp;She is no stranger to the sun.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Eyes''':&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;Soft lavender with bright limbal rings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Hair''':&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;Auburn with blonde highlights&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Scale color''':&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;White&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horns''':&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;Oriented horizontally protruding away from the face.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Kireina''' - Translated means: &amp;quot;beautiful&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;lovely&amp;quot;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ryori''' - Derived from the word ''ryouri'' which translates into: &amp;quot;cooking&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;cuisine&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;culinary&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Kireina was a young child, her parents fled their home in order to escape the conquest of the Garlean Empire.  With the army rapidly approaching the city of Doma, there was no time to gather riches or possessions.  They were forced to leave their family fortune behind taking only what they needed to make the long journey.  Once wealthy nobles, the great Yutaka family had now been reduced to mere commoners.  Gridania was too humble and meager for their lifestyle and they no longer had the means to live in a wealthy city such as, Ul'dah, so Limsa Lominsa seemed like the most logical place to seek refuge and try to make a new start.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kireina's father was able to provide for them by learning the ways of a Fisherman.  Her mother, never having to cook a day in her life, ''eventually'' became a pretty decent Culinarian.  Considering their new professions and status in society, they changed their family surname to &amp;quot;Ryori&amp;quot;.  Young Kireina developed a fine appreciation for food and often assisted her Mum by gathering ingredients for her signature dishes.  Given her father's line of work, she grew up mostly surrounded by filthy pirates and dirty scoundrels.  Yet, as descendants of the Dawn Father, her parents always encouraged her to remain true to her divine heritage.  Despite their modest lifestyle, they still managed to ingrain a sense of nobility into their daughter.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kireina spent most of her educational years studying many disciplines of magic.  Having witnessed firsthand the mass devastation and horror wrought upon her homeland by Magitek, she developed a strong desire to use the power of Aether to help heal and protect rather than destroy.  Given her kind and gentle disposition, she also gained a love of nature and of all it's creatures.   &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kireina is just as lovely and beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Her mind is as bright as the glow from her piercing eyes. Your first impression of her might be that she is shy or self-absorbed (depending on the day, you'd be very lucky if you get little more than a smile or nod), however, that is not the case.  Truth be told, she is just highly focused on helping other people, accomplishing her goals, and gaining all the knowledge and skills that she can. She is a spiritual person who's views may be considered &amp;quot;old-fashioned&amp;quot; by some, but her compassionate nature prevents her from looking down on those who might believe or act differently.  She prefers to surround herself with positive influences who would lift her up rather than try to bring her down.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Goals==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
An ambitious young lass, Kireina promised herself at an early age that one day she would grow up to become an Adventurer and find a way to provide a better life for her family.  While her ultimate aspiration is to become a White Mage, she loves learning and hopes to one-day master all of the trades.  She is currently studying Arcanism and is working towards becoming a Summoner.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Disciplines==&lt;br /&gt;

==Affiliations==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kireina is not yet affiliated with any groups or companies.  She is always looking for a positive and well-organized Free Company to join who shares her same ideals and ambitions.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Horns''':&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;Oriented horizontally protruding away from the face.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Kireina''' - Translated means: &amp;quot;beautiful,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;lovely.&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Tasai''' - There is no direct translation, but similar words: gifted, ingenious, intelligent, proficient, talented.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Kiyo was a young child her parents fled the wrath of the Garlean Empire and sought refuge in the city-state of Limsa Lominsa.  Once wealthy nobles in their home city of Doma, her parents had now become reduced to mere commoners.  As the Garlean army approached their city, there was no time to gather riches or possessions.  They were forced to leave their family fortune behind taking only what they needed to make the long journey.  Gridania was too humble and meager for their lifestyle, and they could no longer afford to live in the wealthy city of Ul'dah, so Limsa Lominsa seemed like the most logical place to try and make a new start.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyo's father quickly became skilled as a Fisherman.  Her mother, never having had to cook a day in her life, ''eventually'' became an excellent Culinarian.  Needless to say, young Kiyo developed a fine appreciation for food and often assisted her Mom by gathering ingredients for her signature dishes.  Given her father's profession, she grew up mostly surrounded by filthy pirates and dirty scoundrels.  Yet, as descendants of the Dawn Father, her parents always encouraged her to remain true to her Divine heritage.  Despite their modest lifestyle, they still managed to ingrain a sense of nobility into their daughter.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyo spent most of her educational years learning about the many disciplines of magic.  Having witnessed firsthand the mass devastation and horror wrought upon her homeland by Magitek, she developed a strong desire to use the power of Aether to help heal and protect rather than destroy.  Given her kind and gentle disposition, she also gained a love of nature and of all it's creatures.    &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As her name implies, Kiyo is as clean and pure on the inside as she is on the outside.  She is a very spiritual person who has high standards when it comes to morality.  Many might consider her views on life to be more traditional or conservative, but her compassionate nature prevents her from looking down on those who might believe or act differently.  Be that as it may, she prefers to surround herself with positive influences who would lift her up rather than try to bring her down.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mind is as bright as the glow from her eyes.  At this phase in her life she is focused on learning and gaining all the knowledge and skills she can, which doesn't leave much time for socializing.  Your first impression of her might be that she is shy or self-absorbed (you'd be very lucky if you get little more than a smile or nod).  However, that is not the case.  She is just very focused on her goals and accomplishing her mission.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyo considers herself to be an &amp;quot;Elect Lady&amp;quot; who stands for truth and righteousness.  Her hope is that others will see her light and example and join her on her quest to defeat evil and tyranny.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Goals==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
An ambitious young lass, Kiyo promised herself at an early age that one day she would grow up to become an Adventurer and find a way to provide a better life for her family.  While her ultimate aspiration is to become a White Mage, she loves learning and hopes to one-day master all of the trades.  She is currently studying Arcanism and is working towards becoming a Summoner.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Disciplines==&lt;br /&gt;
* Arcanist&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Guilds==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Affiliations==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyo is not yet affiliated with any groups or companies.  She is always looking for a positive and well-organized Free Company to join who shares her same ideals and ambitions.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As her name implies, Kiyo is as clean and pure on the inside as she is on the outside.  She is a very spiritual person who has high standards when it comes to morality.  Many might consider her views on life to be more traditional or conservative, but her compassionate nature prevents her from looking down on those who might believe or act differently.  Be that as it may, she prefers to surround herself with positive influences who would lift her up rather than try to bring her down.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mind is as bright as the glow from her eyes.  At this phase in her life she is focused on learning and gaining all the knowledge and skills she can, which doesn't leave much time for socializing.  Your first impression of her might be that she is shy or self-absorbed (you'd be very lucky if you get little more than a smile or nod).  However, that is not the case.  She is just very focused on her goals and accomplishing her mission.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyo considers herself to be an &amp;quot;Elect Lady&amp;quot; who stands for truth and righteousness.  Her hope is that others will see her light and example and join her on her quest to defeat evil and tyranny.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Goals==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
An ambitious young lass, Kiyo promised herself at an early age that one day she would grow up to become an Adventurer and find a way to provide a better life for her family.  While her ultimate aspiration is to become a White Mage, she loves learning and hopes to one-day master all of the trades.  She is currently studying Arcanism and is working towards becoming a Summoner.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Disciplines==&lt;br /&gt;
* Arcanist&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Guilds==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Affiliations==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyo is not yet affiliated with any groups or companies.  She is always looking for a positive and well-organized Free Company to join who shares her same ideals and ambitions.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bodiford''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family name, Bodiford, is one of the oldest [[Hyur]] names of [[Eorzea]].  It was originally a name for a person who worked as a coppersmith or a dealer in ''baterie'', which is a term for beaten copper or brassware.  The surname, Bodiford, is possibly derived from the word ''bateor'', meaning ''one who beats'', a term which has been applied to a beater of cloth or fuller.  The surname may also be a short form of the word ''orbatour'', which means ''a beater of gold''.  Variations of the surname include: ''Batsford, Batesford, Batisford, Botsford, Botsforth,'' and many more.      &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Bodiford ancestors came to Eorzea during the first great Hyur migratory wave in the [http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61230-An-Eorzean-Timeline.| Sixth Astral Era].  Specializing in metalworking, the Bodifords naturally settled in the great city-state of [[Ul'dah]] due to it's abundant mineral resources.  Seeing a vast potential for prominence and wealth, they eventually transitioned their brass and copper smithing trade into a successful goldsmithing and fine jewelry company which came to be known as, &amp;quot;Bodiford &amp;amp; Sons.&amp;quot;  Many generations of Bodifords have all been influential members of the [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Category:Guild#Goldsmiths.27_Guild| Goldsmith's Guild] including Adam's father, Henry Thomas Bodiford the 3rd.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Adam was just a wee lad, Henry would often take him to the Coliseum to watch the mighty gladiators compete.  Needless to say, Adam developed a fascination for the art of the blade at an early age.  For his 15th birthday he received his first wooden Macuahuitl.  His father would often throw a few [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Gil| Gil] to the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Brass_Blades| Brass Blade] officers at the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Scorpion_Crossing| Scorpion Crossing] outpost in Western Thanalan to let his boy go a few rounds with their striking dummies.  It was cheaper than buying him his own.  Plus, his Mum wasn't to keen on him playing with swords.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Adam was always a care-free spirit, never wanting for anything.  Most that know him wouldn't go so far as to call him &amp;quot;spoiled,&amp;quot; but it's fair to say he never fully developed an appreciation for the value of hard work.  All of that changed, of course, after setting upon the path of the Adventurer.  Having to perform the menial tasks of those he once looked down upon just to gain favor with the Ul'dahn citizens was quite a humbling experience.    &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Despite being surrounded by money his whole life, Adam really could care less about wealth.  He only sees it as a means to an end, and would rather be remembered for glory rather than gold. The same glory bestowed upon the gladiators he idolized as a child, the same glory that the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Warriors_of_Light| Warriors of Light] brought upon Eorzea!  Many people try to buy glory with wealth.  But that kind of true glory can never be bought!  As far as Adam is concerned, the glory of victory in battle is worth more than all the Gil in Ul'dah!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Goals==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It would seem that Adam's career path was a no-brainer:  become a Goldsmith, take over the family business, bask in the success of many generations and live happily and wealthily ever after.  There was only one problem with that...he had no interest in the life of a Goldsmith whatsoever!  The thought of being chained to a grinding wheel, day in and day out, hammering away - always hammering - was a torture he simply could not endure.  An Adventurer's life is a dangerous one...but it was always the ''only'' life for young Adam.  He always said, &amp;quot;I may end up a vagabond on [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Pearl_Lane| Pearl Lane], but at least I chose my own path!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as Adam became of age he marched down to [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/The_Quicksand| The Quicksand] to join the Adventurer's guild.  Given his love for the arena, joining the Gladiator's guild seemed the next most logical choice.  Who knows where this noble Adventurer will end up?  There are rumors speculating of new guilds and disciplines of the blade being taught in distance lands, such as: the Rogue, the Ninja, and the Paladin.  Only time will tell as the Adventure of Adam Bodiford unfolds!       &lt;br /&gt;

Specializing in metalworking, the Bodifords naturally settled in the great city-state of [[Ul'dah]] due to it's abundant mineral resources.

&lt;br /&gt;
When Adam was just a wee lad, Henry would often take him to the Coliseum to watch the mighty gladiators compete.  Needless to say, Adam developed a fascination for the art of the blade at an early age.  For his 15th birthday he received his first wooden Macuahuitl.  His father would often throw a few [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Gil| Gil] to the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Brass_Blades| Brass Blade] officers at the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Scorpion_Crossing| Scorpion Crossing] outpost in Western Thanalan to let his boy go a few rounds with their striking dummies.  It was cheaper than buying him his own.  Plus, his Mum wasn't to keen on playing with swords in the house.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Adam was always a care-free spirit, never wanting for anything.  Most that know him wouldn't go so far as to call him &amp;quot;spoiled&amp;quot;, but it's fair to say he never fully developed an appreciation for the value of hard work.  All of that changed, of course, after setting upon the path of the Adventurer.  Having to perform the menial tasks of those he once looked down upon, just to gain favor with the Ul'dahn citizens, was quite the humbling experience.    &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Despite being surrounded by money his whole life, Adam really could care less about wealth.  He only sees it as a means to an end.  In the end, he would rather be remembered for glory rather than gold:  the same glory bestowed upon the gladiators he idolized as a child, the same glory that the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Warriors_of_Light| Warriors of Light] brought upon Eorzea!  Many people try to buy glory with wealth.  But that kind of true glory can never be bought!  As far as Adam is concerned, the glory of victory in battle is worth more than all the Gil in Ul'dah!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Goals==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It would seem that Adam's career path was a no-brainer:  become a Goldsmith, take over the family business, bask in the success of many generations and live happily and wealthily ever after.  There was only one problem with that...he had no interest in the life of a Goldsmith whatsoever!  The thought of being chained to a grinding wheel, day in and day out, hammering away - always hammering - was a torture he simply could not endure.  An Adventurer's life is a dangerous one...but it was always the ''only'' life for young Adam.  He always said, &amp;quot;I may end up a vagabond on [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Pearl_Lane| Pearl Lane], but at least I chose my own path!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as Adam became of age he marched down to [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/The_Quicksand| The Quicksand] to join the Adventurer's guild.  Given his love for the arena and experience with the sword (albeit wooden),  joining the Gladiator's guild seemed the next most logical choice.  Who knows where this noble Adventurer will end up?  There are rumors speculating of new guilds and disciplines of the blade being taught in distance lands, such as: the Rogue, the Ninja, and the Paladin.  Only time will tell as the Adventure of Adam Bodiford unfolds!       &lt;br /&gt;

'''Bodiford''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family name, Bodiford, is one of the oldest [[Hyur]] names of [[Eorzea]].  It was originally a name for a person who worked as a coppersmith or a dealer in ''baterie'', which is a term for beaten copper or brassware.  The surname, Bodiford, is possibly derived from the word ''bateor'', meaning ''one who beats'', a term which has been applied to a beater of cloth or fuller.  The surname may also be a short form of the word ''orbatour'', which means ''a beater of gold''.  Variations of the surname include: ''Batsford, Batesford, Batisford, Botsford, Botsforth,'' and many more.      &lt;br /&gt;

==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bodiford''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family name, Bodiford, is one of the oldest [[Hyur]] names of [[Eorzea]].  It was originally a name for a person who worked as a coppersmith or a dealer in ''baterie'', which is a term for beaten copper or brassware.  The surname, Bodiford, is possibly derived from the word ''bateor'', meaning ''one who beats'', a term which has been applied to a beater of cloth or fuller.  The surname may also be a short form of the word ''orbatour'', which means ''a beater of gold''.  Variations of the surname include: ''Batsford, Batesford, Batisford, Botsford, Botsforth,'' and many more.      &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Bodiford ancestors came to Eorzea during the first great Hyur migratory wave in the [http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61230-An-Eorzean-Timeline.| Sixth Astral Era].  Specializing in metalworking, the Bodifords naturally settled in the great city-state of [[Ul'dah]] due to it's abundant mineral resources.  Seeing a vast potential for prominence and wealth, they eventually transitioned their brass and copper smithing trade into a successful goldsmithing and fine jewelry company which came to be known as, &amp;quot;Bodiford &amp;amp; Sons.&amp;quot;  Many generations of Bodifords have all been influential members of the [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Category:Guild#Goldsmiths.27_Guild| Goldsmith's Guild] including Adam's father, Henry Thomas Bodiford the 3rd.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Adam was just a wee lad, Henry would often take him to the Coliseum to watch the mighty gladiators compete.  Needless to say, Adam developed a fascination for the art of the blade at an early age.  For his 15th birthday he received his first wooden Macuahuitl.  His father would often throw a few [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Gil| Gil] to the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Brass_Blades| Brass Blade] officers at the [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Scorpion_Crossing| Scorpion Crossing] outpost in Western Thanalan to let his boy go a few rounds with their striking dummies.  It was cheaper than buying him his own.  Plus, his Mum wasn't to keen on playing with swords in the house.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Adam was always a care-free spirit, never wanting for anything.  Most that know him wouldn't go so far as to call him &amp;quot;spoiled&amp;quot;, but it's fair to say he never fully developed an appreciation for the value of hard work.  All of that changed, of course, after setting upon the path of the Adventurer.  Having to perform the menial tasks of those he once looked down upon, just to gain favor with the Ul'dahn citizens, was quite the humbling experience.    &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Despite being surrounded by money his whole life, Adam really could care less about wealth.  He only sees it as a means to an end.  In the end, he would rather be remembered for glory rather than gold:  the same glory bestowed upon the gladiators he idolized as a child, the same glory that the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Warriors_of_Light| Warriors of Light] brought upon Eorzea!  Many people try to buy glory with wealth.  But that kind of true glory can never be bought!  As far as Adam is concerned, the glory of victory in battle is worth more than all the Gil in Ul'dah!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Goals==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It would seem that Adam's career path was a no-brainer:  become a Goldsmith, take over the family business, bask in the success of many generations and live happily and wealthily ever after.  There was only one problem with that...he had no interest in the life of a Goldsmith whatsoever!  The thought of being chained to a grinding wheel, day in and day out, hammering away - always hammering - was a torture he simply could not endure.  An Adventurer's life is a dangerous one...but it was always the ''only'' life for young Adam.  He always said, &amp;quot;I may end up a vagabond on [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Pearl_Lane| Pearl Lane], but at least I chose my own path!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as Adam became of age he marched down to [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/The_Quicksand| The Quicksand] to join the Adventurer's guild.  Given his love for the arena and experience with the sword (albeit wooden),  joining the Gladiator's guild seemed the next most logical choice.  Who knows where this noble Adventurer will end up?  There are rumors speculating of new guilds and disciplines of the blade being taught in distance lands, such as: the Rogue, the Ninja, and the Paladin.  Only time will tell as the Adventure of Adam Bodiford unfolds!       &lt;br /&gt;

==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bodiford''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family name, Bodiford, is one of the oldest [[Hyur]] names of [[Eorzea]].  It was originally a name for a person who worked as a coppersmith or a dealer in ''baterie'', which is a term for beaten copper or brassware.  The surname, Bodiford, is possibly derived from the word ''bateor'', meaning ''one who beats'', a term which has been applied to a beater of cloth or fuller.  The surname may also be a short form of the word ''orbatour'', which means ''a beater of gold''.  Variations of the surname include: ''Batsford, Batesford, Batisford, Botsford, Botsforth,'' and many more.      &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Bodiford ancestors came to Eorzea during the first great Hyur migratory wave in the [http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61230-An-Eorzean-Timeline.| Sixth Astral Era].  Specializing in metalworking, the Bodifords naturally settled in the great city-state of [[Ul'dah]] due to it's abundant mineral resources.  Seeing a vast potential for prominence and wealth, they eventually transitioned their brass and copper smithing trade into a successful goldsmithing and fine jewelry company which came to be known as, &amp;quot;Bodiford &amp;amp; Sons.&amp;quot;  Many generations of Bodifords have all been influential members of the [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Category:Guild#Goldsmiths.27_Guild| Goldsmith's Guild] including Adam's father, Henry Thomas Bodiford the 3rd.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Adam was just a wee lad, Henry would often take him to the Coliseum to watch the mighty gladiators compete.  Needless to say, Adam developed a fascination for the art of the blade at an early age.  For his 15th birthday he received his first wooden Macuahuitl.  His father would often throw a few Gil to the Brass Blade officers at the Scorpion Crossing outpost in Western Thanalan to let his boy go a few rounds with their striking dummies.  It was cheaper than buying him his own.  Plus, his Mum wasn't to keen on playing with swords in the house.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Adam was always a care-free spirit, never wanting for anything.  Most that know him wouldn't go so far as to call him &amp;quot;spoiled&amp;quot;, but it's fair to say he never fully developed an appreciation for the value of hard work.  All of that changed, of course, after setting upon the path of the Adventurer.  Having to perform the menial tasks of those he once looked down upon, just to gain favor with the Ul'dahn citizens, was quite the humbling experience.    &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Despite being surrounded by money his whole life, Adam really could care less about wealth.  He only sees it as a means to an end.  In the end, he would rather be remembered for glory rather than gold:  the same glory bestowed upon the gladiators he idolized as a child, the same glory that the Warriors of Light brought upon Eorzea!  Many people try to buy glory with wealth.  But that kind of true glory can never be bought!  As far as Adam is concerned, the glory of victory in battle is worth more than all the Gil in Ul'dah!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Career Goals==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It would seem that Adam's career path was a no-brainer:  become a Goldsmith, take over the family business, bask in the success of many generations and live happily and wealthily ever after.  There was only one problem with that...he had no interest in the life of a Goldsmith whatsoever!  The thought of being chained to a grinding wheel, day in and day out, hammering away - always hammering - was a torture he simply could not endure.  An Adventurer's life is a dangerous one...but it was always the ''only'' life for young Adam.  He always said, &amp;quot;I may end up a vagabond on Pearl Lane, but at least I chose my own path!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as Adam became of age he marched down to The Quicksand to join the Adventurer's guild.  Given his love for the arena and experience with the sword (albeit wooden),  joining the Gladiator's guild seemed the next most logical choice.  Who knows where this noble Adventurer will end up?  There are rumors speculating of new guilds and disciplines of the blade being taught in distance lands, such as: the Rogue, the Ninja, and the Paladin.  Only time will tell as the Adventure of Adam Bodiford unfolds!       &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Disciplines==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Gladiator&lt;br /&gt;
* Rogue&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Guilds==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Adam is currently not a member of any tradecraft guilds.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Affiliations==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Adam is not yet affiliated with any groups or companies.  He is always looking for a positive and well-organized Free Company to join who shares his same ambitions.  &lt;br /&gt;
