INTRO TEXT

==Appearance==
Therese is tall, with ghostly pale skin, bright red eyes and red lips. Her hair is long and black, and her eyes are gaunt from a lack of sleep. Scars cover her body, mostly burns and a few claw and bite marks here and there.

==History==
Becoming a lancer at a rather young age, Therese of the Orycia family earned dragoon status relatively young. The daughter of a temple knight and aristocrat, she was raised in the pillars with a staunch belief in Halone and Ishgardian doctrine. Her father was cruel at best, and made it no secret that he resented her for being a daughter and not a son. Her mother cared more for her husband and her image than her daughter, and Therese grew up with abuse and neglect. Her only comfort in life was her best friend and cousin Reilan. Though constantly compared to him, she adored him and wanted to be just like him. At the age of 11 she began to train with the lance, in an effort to be the son her father always wanted, and to impress Reilan, who is the heir to her family legacy. Her formative years, and subsequent early adulthood were spent wholly and completely dedicated to her craft, as Therese gave up friendship, family and love in a neurotic obsession with being the best. When the other side of the Orycia family fell from grace, Therese worked even harder to prove herself and her worth, eager to shed herself of the "unseemly" Orycia reputation, though she always harbored feelings of doubt in herself.

==Personality==
Therese is a perfectionist, and it shows in everything she does. Her armor is polished, her spear is sharp and she carries herself with the poise and grace one would expect from an Ishgardian of high birth. She is known to be a bit on the icy side, and finds it difficult to make friends, putting duty before anything else. Therese has hangups about her family life, and if one were to dig deeper, theyd find her workaholic attitude stems from rumours that the only reason she is as good a dragoon as people claim is because of her rather prominent father. She works tirelessly to be outside of his shadow. she has a gamut of psychological issues stemming from her childhood, and most people find her standoffish and mistrustful. She is infamous for her fiery tongue and lack of deportment, and many fail to realize she is of any sort of noble birth when they meet her.

====General====
Originally hailing from the Twelveswood, Adeya turned up in Limsa Lominsa one day with little more than a beat up spellbook and the clothes on her back. Since then she has been trying to make a name for herself as a mage and scholar. Her current focus is on Nym, specifically Nymian magic.

====Appearance====
Standing at about 5 fulms, Adeya is of average height for a miqo'te. While the more charitable might call her build lithe, scrawny is perhaps a more accurate description, as lithe implies a grace that Adeya tends to lack. This, combined with the fact that she usually keeps her dark denim hair short, has in the past occasionally resulted in people mistaking her for a boy, even without her trying to appear as one. Despite having lived under the Vylbrand sun for the past several years she is still rather on the pale side, in stark contrast to her dark eyes which are the color of carmine. Almost directly below her eyes are a pair of grey facial markings sometimes seen in miqo'te, while above her left eyebrow is a small, faded scar. In addition to this, recent events have caused her to pick up several new scars, the most notable of which are two, one on each arm, that cut horizontally across her forearms, as well as one on her chest caused by a thrown dagger.

As a general rule, she dresses in the styles typical to Limsa Lominsa. Her clothing tends overwhelmingly towards the practical, with a clear emphasis on function over fashion. It is a rare sight indeed to see her in a dress or bothering with makeup, and even then it's clear that she's not completely comfortable in more formal attire. Even rarer still is seeing her without her dark red grimoire at her side.

====Personality====
Like many a Keeper of the Moon, Adeya can be seen as reserved. She tends to be somewhat guarded with her thoughts and emotions, a fact which has occasionally been known to make her appear to be detached or even cold. It perhaps doesn’t help that she can be a bit blunt when dealing with people and has a tendency towards sarcasm. Furthermore, Adeya’s view of the world is a fairly cynical one. Her upbringing taught her to be wary around people, especially Gridanians, a tendency which was later expanded and reinforced during her first few years in Limsa Lominsa.

Still, around close friends or those who share her interests she is much more open. When discussing something she is passionate about, such as anything to do with aether, she can be quite animated and, if not stopped, rather long winded. At the end of the day Adeya is extremely curious, and she is always eager to both acquire and share new knowledge. This quiet enthusiasm is something that she brings to pretty much everything; when she has made a decision about something it is very difficult to change her mind. She takes both her word and commitments very seriously, and hates to break either. For her, being called stubborn is a compliment--one that she tends to hear rather frequently.

Romantically, Adeya is interested in both men and women, with a preference towards women. When it comes to anything serious, she tends to be concerned less about gender and more about whether or not the person in question can keep up with her intellectually. She is also fairly comfortable with open relationships.

====Quirks====
* Is a terrible, if enthusiastic, cook.
* Seems to possess no talent for conjury despite being a decent arcanist and passable thaumaturge.
* Tends to pace when upset or thinking hard about something.
* Has trouble seeing her carbuncle as just a tool and has been known to give them names.
* Has been known to keep a torn grimoire page in her pocket. Just in case.

<table style="position:center;" width="75%"></table>
====Twelveswood====
Ask a Gridanian the right questions, and you might hear about some of the other residents of the Twelveswood; specifically, the Keepers of the Moon. While over the years some Keeper groups have made their peace with the city-state, to this day there are still others that have refused to follow suit. The Padfoot Clan is one such group. Fiercely independent and proud of their traditions, they shunned all opportunities to make peace, instead choosing to retreat into the most remote part of the Twelveswood, where they would never have to fear falling under the control of outsiders.

Or so their stories go anyway.

The reality of the matter paints a much bleaker picture. Already small and insular even by Keeper standards, over the years the conflict with Gridania and their own dwindling numbers began to take their toll on the clan. At some point it became clear to their leaders that they had a choice: abandon their absolute isolationist stance, or die out. They chose the former, and not long after the Padfoots emerged as players in the fur trade. Ever since it has been a constant struggle to balance their traditions against the pragmatic necessities of survival—and even then it’s never been quite clear whether they succeeded or merely delayed the inevitable.

It was into this uncertainty that Adeya was born. The unplanned result of a tryst between a young huntress and a Gridanian, she never met the man who fathered her. Instead she was raised solely by her mother and the rest of the clan, a story that wasn’t terribly unusual amongst their kind. What was viewed as somewhat odd turned out to be Adeya herself. Smaller and clumsier than her cousins and clanmates, she seemed to have inherited none of her mother’s hunting talent. Instead what she did have was a keen mind, but with no ability to hear the elementals or talent for weaving or the like, it seemed likely that the most that she would be good for was balancing books and perpetually asking awkward questions.

As the years went on Adeya began to distance herself slightly from the rest of her family. Taught the basics of how to read, the few books she had became an escape, a window into the possibilities offered by life outside of the Twelveswood. Eventually she even began to covertly defy the strict rules laid down by the clan’s matriarch with regards to outsiders. Despite the risk to herself and potentially the others, occasionally she would sneak off to the smaller settlements in the Twelveswood; after all, she was curious about the non-Keepers also living in the forest.

But everything changed the day she was caught. Fortunately for her, it wasn’t by a Gridanian, though at the time she would have thought that was preferable to being dragged before the matriarch. But even worse than that was the fight that followed afterward with her mother, where the truth about who her father was finally came out. Shaken by this realization, over the next few weeks Adeya gradually came to a decision: it didn’t matter who her father was. She would prove that she was just as good as the rest of them.

Driven by this resolution, things would finally come to a head during her coming of age ritual. Several times a year, a group of fifteen and sixteen year olds from the clan would be given the chance to prove that they were ready for adulthood. The final test was to be sent out, alone, into the forest for several days and to return with something of value—typically a pelt, herbs, or other supplies they needed. While Adeya knew when she set out that she could have easily captured a rabbit or something like that, she ultimately had her sights set on bigger game. After all, while a rabbit would have been acceptable, she also knew that there would be no recognition in it. No, she needed something impressive, something that would get everyone's attention.

Afterwards, Adeya would never really talk about what happened while she was gone, though it was obvious that something had. What was made quite clear to everyone, when she returned several days late and empty handed, was that she had failed. What was also obvious was that her failure had hit Adeya hard, so much so that it almost wasn’t a surprise when everyone woke up one evening and found that the young Keeper had disappeared - and had taken her belongings with her.

====Limsa Lominsa====
The first few days after she left her clan were the most difficult for Adeya. Afraid to go to either the Gridanians or other Keepers, she eventually took the risk and tracked down a trader she had heard was in the area. The furs she had taken with her earned her just enough gil to get her to her ultimate goal: Limsa Lominsa. After hearing the (somewhat exaggerated) stories of the city’s arcanists, there was nothing she wanted more than to study with them.

Though it took a bit of persuasion, she did manage to convince the Guild to give her a chance to learn. Eventually her talent with geometries lead to her getting taken under the wing of one of the older arcanists, an Elezen man named Octavel Amyot. For the next several years, her days would be spent tracking down smuggled cargo and contraband, while at night she dived into books concerning magical theory, history, and language. And as time went on, she became quite certain which of the two she preferred.

Fueled by this and a growing restlessness, when she got a chance to focus more on research than customs work she took it. Her interest was on the ancient city of Nym, specifically the ancient spells used to keep it aloft. It was clear to her that there were links between modern arcanima and Nymian magic, ones that she could use to crack Nym's secrets given enough time and resources. Yet in her current position those were the two things she lacked, forcing her to begin to seek out other options.

====Recent Events====
Enticed by an offer to further fund her research, Adeya was convinced to join the Illustre Alliance, specifically the research division known as the Umbra. Yet everything did not quite go as she planned. While the expedition into Nym was essentially a success, tension within the Alliance would lead to the majority of the Umbra leaving the Alliance to form a new, independent group. Taking up the name Mythril Wings, it was decided that, in addition to dealing with magic, that they would also offer sanctuary to all who needed it.

Yet achieving that goal wouldn't be as easy as it sounded. Not long after the creation of their new company, Adeya's friend Asheloux Thalantos got involved in a fight with an Ishgardian dragoon named Orrin Halgren. Though Adeya was called in to help him, the two of them were unable to overpower Orrin; Asheloux was arrested on suspicion of heresy, while Adeya herself was seriously injured during the conflict and only escaped thanks to the intervention of fellow free company member Synn Heolstor.

Though the charges against Asheloux were eventually dropped and though Adeya's wounds eventually healed, the incident lingered for a long time in her mind. Feeling guilt over not being able to do more to protect her friend and knowing that she would never be good enough with a weapon to best someone like Orrin, Adeya turned to the one thing she felt that she was good at: magic. In an attempt to improve her combat skills, she began to expand the area of her research as she looked for anything that would give her an edge. And eventually, she found it.

During an expedition to Sharlayan and the Gubal Library, Adeya came across books that referenced the Allagan art of summoning. Intrigued by it and the power that it offered, as well as the challenge of trying to piece together the spells necessary to accomplish it, she has begun to look into the subject more closely, though so far she has had very little in the way of progress. Ultimately, it seems time will tell whether she will succeed or fail.

<tr valign=top>
<td width="50%">
====<div style="color: #FFFFFF; text-align: center; padding:2px 15px; background: #00297C;">Family</div>====
* '''Kiht Evenar''' - Growing up, Adeya and her mother had a rather rocky relationship. The two haven't spoken since Adeya ran away from home, a situation which at the moment is unlikely to change.
* '''Rhiki'to Nelhah''' - In truth, Adeya doesn't really know much about the man that fathered her, having never actually met him. That hasn't stopped her from disliking him though, as she feels that he is at least partially responsible for how she was treated growing up. Still, there is a part of her that is somewhat curious about him, even if not to the point of deliberately seeking him out.
* '''Kiht'a Evenar''' - Adeya's half brother and one of the very few family members that she stays in contact with. The two aren't exactly close, owing partially to their lives having taken very different paths, however Adeya can still be very protective of him and is willing to drop everything at a moment's notice to go and help him.
<br>
====<div style="color: #FFFFFF; text-align: center; padding:2px 15px; background: #00297C;">Friends</div>====
* '''[[Asheloux Thalantos]]''' - When the two of them met, Adeya would have never thought that she would have considered the prickly Elezen mage a friend. Yet, after all of the weird and dangerous situations they have been in together, it's hard for her to think of him as anything less. Even if she does find his tendency towards keeping secrets from her, and his reasons for doing so, absolutely infuriating.
* '''[[Kurt Steel]]''' - A Hyur adventurer that Adeya once taught basic arcanima to. While it eventually became clear that that wasn't really working out, the two managed to strike up a friendship, albeit a rocky one. Recent events have made Adeya somewhat concerned about them, though she's keeping that to herself. For now.
* '''[[Synn Heolstor]]''' - A Hyur adventurer that Adeya met during her time with the Illustre Alliance and who joined her and Asheloux after they formed the Mythril Wings. While she has been known to frequently question his decisions and often takes serious issue with how impulsive he can be, at the end of the day she is glad that he's watching her back. Most of the time anyway. To say that their friendship is complicated would be an understatement.
* '''[[Tuli Qalli]]''' - A chance and very confusing encounter somehow ended up with Adeya taking on the Xaela as an apprentice. Since then, Adeya has found both her and her cheeriness perplexing, even by the standards she has for Au Ra; however, after getting to know her a bit more she has come to realize that the cheerful attitude might just be a mask after all. In a way their stories are similar, and Adeya has found that she can empathize a good deal with her. Even if she has trouble admitting it.
* '''[[Xavarian Mystrife]]''' - A weird Duskwight with an even weirder aether problem that makes being around him interesting at times. In spite of that, so far Adeya has found both him and his knowledge of ritual magic very nice to have around. In addition to them sharing a love of books and curiosity about all things aether-related, she also owes him more than one favor for all of the help that he has given her lately.
* '''Octavel Amyot''' - Adeya's mentor and the person who helped encourage her love of history and arcanima. As a result, she looks up to him and has been known to still seek out his advice.

<td width ="50%">

====<div style="color: #FFFFFF; text-align: center; padding:2px 15px; background: #00297C;">Acquaintances</div>====
* '''[[Aiden Samidare]]''' - Though Adeya is quick to acknowledge and appreciate this ex-Garlean soldier's talents as a spy and ninja, on a personal level she often finds him more frustrating than not. This is mainly due to his tendency towards asking personal questions, ones that sometimes she herself doesn't know the answer to, let alone would be willing to talk about. Furthermore, Adeya is beginning to suspect that he's not taking anything seriously.
* '''[[Darturu Torlan]]''' - Despite appearing like a Seeker Miqo'te, Adeya is fully aware that there is more to him than meets the eye. She finds him and his story somewhat intriguing, even if she still is somewhat unsure of how much of it is true. Regardless, she is more than happy to help him if he needs more help with magic. Or messing with Garlean plans.
* '''[[Dash Dazkar]]''' - Though they work together, Adeya isn't quite sure that she trusts this Xaela mage. While admittedly good in a fight, he seems to believe that every problem can be best solved through the liberal application of fire. In addition to this, he doesn't seem able to take anything seriously, a fact which when combined with violent tendencies leads her to believe that he's unreliable at best.
* '''[[Sahena Epocan]]''' - One of the few other healers currently in the company, Adeya still has a few misgivings about this Keeper, at least when it comes to her healing skills. She also isn't quite sure what to make of her yet, as she's found it somewhat difficult to get through her (sometimes frustrating) quiet demeanor. That said, she does feel a certain kinship with her, as she can relate to the reason why she left her clan.
* '''[[Soren Shieldbreaker]]''' - Originally hired to help gather information for the free company, over time Adeya has found herself taking a sort of liking to this Duskwight. His easy going manner is enough for her to drop her guard around him a little; in addition, recent events with his sister have caused her to feel rather protective of him and his choices.
* '''[[Surge Dravorgas]]''' - A Hyur explorer that Adeya once shared a drink and interesting conversation with. While he can't seem to stay on one topic for more than a minute, some of his ideas seem to show promise. That is, assuming they don't blow up in his face first. Literally.
* '''[[Ziek Kazuto]]''' - A very odd Hyur that calls himself a wanderer. Adeya can't quite make sense of him, though she's hoping to run into him again. If only to get a chance to try to figure him out.
<br>

====<div style="color: #FFFFFF; text-align: center; padding:2px 15px; background: #00297C;">Rivals and Enemies</div>====
* '''[[Marielle Beaumontaire]]''' - "Manipulative she-devil." It would be hard to overstate the amount of contempt that Adeya feels towards this Elezen merchant. Having started off on rather a bad note, things have only become worse as Marielle's true intentions were revealed. Currently there is nothing that Adeya would love more than messing up her plans.
* '''[[Orrin Halgren]]''' - An Ishgardian Hyur who once employed Adeya for a trek into the Wanderer's Palace, one that left the group with more questions than answers. The pair used to have an agreement to share information with each other; however, after a recent confrontation Adeya has lost whatever good will she had towards him. While she will work with him if forced to, she certainly doesn't trust him, and will not hesitate to use whatever means necessary to stop him from hurting her friends again.
* '''Rhela Amariyo''' - The matriarch of Adeya's former clan. Despite years having gone by Adeya still carries a deep, abiding grudge towards the older woman. She suspects the feeling is mutual.

====RP Hooks====
Your character may have a tie to Adeya if:
* They are an arcanist or are otherwise affiliated with the Arcanists' Guild. Depending on when they joined there's a good chance they may have worked together at some point or they might have heard some of the rumors about her.
* They are a Yellowjacket. Another case where they might have worked together. Perhaps dealing with smugglers or something along those lines.

<table style="position:center;" width="75%"></table>

====General====
Originally hailing from the Twelveswood, Adeya turned up in Limsa Lominsa one day with little more than a beat up spellbook and the clothes on her back. Since then she has been trying to make a name for herself as a mage and scholar. Her current focus is on Nym, specifically Nymian magic.

====Appearance====
Standing at about 5 fulms, Adeya is of average height for a miqo'te. While the more charitable might call her build lithe, scrawny is perhaps a more accurate description, as lithe implies a grace that Adeya tends to lack. This, combined with the fact that she usually keeps her dark denim hair short, has in the past occasionally resulted in people mistaking her for a boy, even without her trying to appear as one. Despite having lived under the Vylbrand sun for the past several years she is still rather on the pale side, in stark contrast to her dark eyes which are the color of carmine. Almost directly below her eyes are a pair of grey facial markings sometimes seen in miqo'te, while above her left eyebrow is a small, faded scar. In addition to this, recent events have caused her to pick up several new scars, the most notable of which are two, one on each arm, that cut horizontally across her forearms, as well as one on her chest caused by a thrown dagger.

As a general rule, she dresses in the styles typical to Limsa Lominsa. Her clothing tends overwhelmingly towards the practical, with a clear emphasis on function over fashion. It is a rare sight indeed to see her in a dress or bothering with makeup, and even then it's clear that she's not completely comfortable in more formal attire. Even rarer still is seeing her without her dark red grimoire at her side.

====Personality====
Like many a Keeper of the Moon, Adeya can be seen as reserved. She tends to be somewhat guarded with her thoughts and emotions, a fact which has occasionally been known to make her appear to be detached or even cold. It perhaps doesn’t help that she can be a bit blunt when dealing with people and has a tendency towards sarcasm. Furthermore, Adeya’s view of the world is a fairly cynical one. Her upbringing taught her to be wary around people, especially Gridanians, a tendency which was later expanded and reinforced during her first few years in Limsa Lominsa.

Still, around close friends or those who share her interests she is much more open. When discussing something she is passionate about, such as anything to do with aether, she can be quite animated and, if not stopped, rather long winded. At the end of the day Adeya is extremely curious, and she is always eager to both acquire and share new knowledge. This quiet enthusiasm is something that she brings to pretty much everything; when she has made a decision about something it is very difficult to change her mind. She takes both her word and commitments very seriously, and hates to break either. For her, being called stubborn is a compliment--one that she tends to hear rather frequently.

Romantically, Adeya is interested in both men and women, with a preference towards women. When it comes to anything serious, she tends to be concerned less about gender and more about whether or not the person in question can keep up with her intellectually. She is also fairly comfortable with open relationships.

====Quirks====
* Is a terrible, if enthusiastic, cook.
* Seems to possess no talent for conjury despite being a decent arcanist and passable thaumaturge.
* Tends to pace when upset or thinking hard about something.
* Has trouble seeing her carbuncle as just a tool and has been known to give them names.
* Has been known to keep a torn grimoire page in her pocket. Just in case.

<table style="position:center;" width="75%"></table>
====Twelveswood====
Ask a Gridanian the right questions, and you might hear about some of the other residents of the Twelveswood; specifically, the Keepers of the Moon. While over the years some Keeper groups have made their peace with the city-state, to this day there are still others that have refused to follow suit. The Padfoot Clan is one such group. Fiercely independent and proud of their traditions, they shunned all opportunities to make peace, instead choosing to retreat into the most remote part of the Twelveswood, where they would never have to fear falling under the control of outsiders.

Or so their stories go anyway.

The reality of the matter paints a much bleaker picture. Already small and insular even by Keeper standards, over the years the conflict with Gridania and their own dwindling numbers began to take their toll on the clan. At some point it became clear to their leaders that they had a choice: abandon their absolute isolationist stance, or die out. They chose the former, and not long after the Padfoots emerged as players in the fur trade. Ever since it has been a constant struggle to balance their traditions against the pragmatic necessities of survival—and even then it’s never been quite clear whether they succeeded or merely delayed the inevitable.

It was into this uncertainty that Adeya was born. The unplanned result of a tryst between a young huntress and a Gridanian, she never met the man who fathered her. Instead she was raised solely by her mother and the rest of the clan, a story that wasn’t terribly unusual amongst their kind. What was viewed as somewhat odd turned out to be Adeya herself. Smaller and clumsier than her cousins and clanmates, she seemed to have inherited none of her mother’s hunting talent. Instead what she did have was a keen mind, but with no ability to hear the elementals or talent for weaving or the like, it seemed likely that the most that she would be good for was balancing books and perpetually asking awkward questions.

As the years went on Adeya began to distance herself slightly from the rest of her family. Taught the basics of how to read, the few books she had became an escape, a window into the possibilities offered by life outside of the Twelveswood. Eventually she even began to covertly defy the strict rules laid down by the clan’s matriarch with regards to outsiders. Despite the risk to herself and potentially the others, occasionally she would sneak off to the smaller settlements in the Twelveswood; after all, she was curious about the non-Keepers also living in the forest.

But everything changed the day she was caught. Fortunately for her, it wasn’t by a Gridanian, though at the time she would have thought that was preferable to being dragged before the matriarch. But even worse than that was the fight that followed afterward with her mother, where the truth about who her father was finally came out. Shaken by this realization, over the next few weeks Adeya gradually came to a decision: it didn’t matter who her father was. She would prove that she was just as good as the rest of them.

Driven by this resolution, things would finally come to a head during her coming of age ritual. Several times a year, a group of fifteen and sixteen year olds from the clan would be given the chance to prove that they were ready for adulthood. The final test was to be sent out, alone, into the forest for several days and to return with something of value—typically a pelt, herbs, or other supplies they needed. While Adeya knew when she set out that she could have easily captured a rabbit or something like that, she ultimately had her sights set on bigger game. After all, while a rabbit would have been acceptable, she also knew that there would be no recognition in it. No, she needed something impressive, something that would get everyone's attention.

Afterwards, Adeya would never really talk about what happened while she was gone, though it was obvious that something had. What was made quite clear to everyone, when she returned several days late and empty handed, was that she had failed. What was also obvious was that her failure had hit Adeya hard, so much so that it almost wasn’t a surprise when everyone woke up one evening and found that the young Keeper had disappeared - and had taken her belongings with her.

====Limsa Lominsa====
The first few days after she left her clan were the most difficult for Adeya. Afraid to go to either the Gridanians or other Keepers, she eventually took the risk and tracked down a trader she had heard was in the area. The furs she had taken with her earned her just enough gil to get her to her ultimate goal: Limsa Lominsa. After hearing the (somewhat exaggerated) stories of the city’s arcanists, there was nothing she wanted more than to study with them.

Though it took a bit of persuasion, she did manage to convince the Guild to give her a chance to learn. Eventually her talent with geometries lead to her getting taken under the wing of one of the older arcanists, an Elezen man named Octavel Amyot. For the next several years, her days would be spent tracking down smuggled cargo and contraband, while at night she dived into books concerning magical theory, history, and language. And as time went on, she became quite certain which of the two she preferred.

Fueled by this and a growing restlessness, when she got a chance to focus more on research than customs work she took it. Her interest was on the ancient city of Nym, specifically the ancient spells used to keep it aloft. It was clear to her that there were links between modern arcanima and Nymian magic, ones that she could use to crack Nym's secrets given enough time and resources. Yet in her current position those were the two things she lacked, forcing her to begin to seek out other options.

====Recent Events====
Enticed by an offer to further fund her research, Adeya was convinced to join the Illustre Alliance, specifically the research division known as the Umbra. Yet everything did not quite go as she planned. While the expedition into Nym was essentially a success, tension within the Alliance would lead to the majority of the Umbra leaving the Alliance to form a new, independent group. Taking up the name Mythril Wings, it was decided that, in addition to dealing with magic, that they would also offer sanctuary to all who needed it.

Yet achieving that goal wouldn't be as easy as it sounded. Not long after the creation of their new company, Adeya's friend Asheloux Thalantos got involved in a fight with an Ishgardian dragoon named Orrin Halgren. Though Adeya was called in to help him, the two of them were unable to overpower Orrin; Asheloux was arrested on suspicion of heresy, while Adeya herself was seriously injured during the conflict and only escaped thanks to the intervention of fellow free company member Synn Heolstor.

Though the charges against Asheloux were eventually dropped and though Adeya's wounds eventually healed, the incident lingered for a long time in her mind. Feeling guilt over not being able to do more to protect her friend and knowing that she would never be good enough with a weapon to best someone like Orrin, Adeya turned to the one thing she felt that she was good at: magic. In an attempt to improve her combat skills, she began to expand the area of her research as she looked for anything that would give her an edge. And eventually, she found it.

During an expedition to Sharlayan and the Gubal Library, Adeya came across books that referenced the Allagan art of summoning. Intrigued by it and the power that it offered, as well as the challenge of trying to piece together the spells necessary to accomplish it, she has begun to look into the subject more closely, though so far she has had very little in the way of progress. Ultimately, it seems time will tell whether she will succeed or fail.

<tr valign=top>
<td width="50%">
====<div style="color: #FFFFFF; text-align: center; padding:2px 15px; background: #00297C;">Family</div>====
* '''Kiht Evenar''' - Growing up, Adeya and her mother had a rather rocky relationship. The two haven't spoken since Adeya ran away from home, a situation which at the moment is unlikely to change.
* '''Rhiki'to Nelhah''' - In truth, Adeya doesn't really know much about the man that fathered her, having never actually met him. That hasn't stopped her from disliking him though, as she feels that he is at least partially responsible for how she was treated growing up. Still, there is a part of her that is somewhat curious about him, even if not to the point of deliberately seeking him out.
* '''Kiht'a Evenar''' - Adeya's half brother and one of the very few family members that she stays in contact with. The two aren't exactly close, owing partially to their lives having taken very different paths, however Adeya can still be very protective of him and is willing to drop everything at a moment's notice to go and help him.
<br>
====<div style="color: #FFFFFF; text-align: center; padding:2px 15px; background: #00297C;">Friends</div>====
* '''[[Asheloux Thalantos]]''' - When the two of them met, Adeya would have never thought that she would have considered the prickly Elezen mage a friend. Yet, after all of the weird and dangerous situations they have been in together, it's hard for her to think of him as anything less. Even if she does find his tendency towards keeping secrets from her, and his reasons for doing so, absolutely infuriating.
* '''[[Kurt Steel]]''' - A Hyur adventurer that Adeya once taught basic arcanima to. While it eventually became clear that that wasn't really working out, the two managed to strike up a friendship, albeit a rocky one. Recent events have made Adeya somewhat concerned about them, though she's keeping that to herself. For now.
* '''[[Synn Heolstor]]''' - A Hyur adventurer that Adeya met during her time with the Illustre Alliance and who joined her and Asheloux after they formed the Mythril Wings. While she has been known to frequently question his decisions and often takes serious issue with how impulsive he can be, at the end of the day she is glad that he's watching her back. Most of the time anyway. To say that their friendship is complicated would be an understatement.
* '''[[Tuli Qalli]]''' - A chance and very confusing encounter somehow ended up with Adeya taking on the Xaela as an apprentice. Since then, Adeya has found both her and her cheeriness perplexing, even by the standards she has for Au Ra; however, after getting to know her a bit more she has come to realize that the cheerful attitude might just be a mask after all. In a way their stories are similar, and Adeya has found that she can empathize a good deal with her. Even if she has trouble admitting it.
* '''[[Xavarian Mystrife]]''' - A weird Duskwight with an even weirder aether problem that makes being around him interesting at times. In spite of that, so far Adeya has found both him and his knowledge of ritual magic very nice to have around. In addition to them sharing a love of books and curiosity about all things aether-related, she also owes him more than one favor for all of the help that he has given her lately.
* '''Octavel Amyot''' - Adeya's mentor and the person who helped encourage her love of history and arcanima. As a result, she looks up to him and has been known to still seek out his advice.
</td>
<td width ="50%">

====<div style="color: #FFFFFF; text-align: center; padding:2px 15px; background: #00297C;">Acquaintances</div>====
* '''[[Aiden Samidare]]''' - Though Adeya is quick to acknowledge and appreciate this ex-Garlean soldier's talents as a spy and ninja, on a personal level she often finds him more frustrating than not. This is mainly due to his tendency towards asking personal questions, ones that sometimes she herself doesn't know the answer to, let alone would be willing to talk about. Furthermore, Adeya is beginning to suspect that he's not taking anything seriously.
* '''[[Darturu Torlan]]''' - Despite appearing like a Seeker Miqo'te, Adeya is fully aware that there is more to him than meets the eye. She finds him and his story somewhat intriguing, even if she still is somewhat unsure of how much of it is true. Regardless, she is more than happy to help him if he needs more help with magic. Or messing with Garlean plans.
* '''[[Dash Dazkar]]''' - Though they work together, Adeya isn't quite sure that she trusts this Xaela mage. While admittedly good in a fight, he seems to believe that every problem can be best solved through the liberal application of fire. In addition to this, he doesn't seem able to take anything seriously, a fact which when combined with violent tendencies leads her to believe that he's unreliable at best.
* '''[[Sahena Epocan]]''' - One of the few other healers currently in the company, Adeya still has a few misgivings about this Keeper, at least when it comes to her healing skills. She also isn't quite sure what to make of her yet, as she's found it somewhat difficult to get through her (sometimes frustrating) quiet demeanor. That said, she does feel a certain kinship with her, as she can relate to the reason why she left her clan.
* '''[[Soren Shieldbreaker]]''' - Originally hired to help gather information for the free company, over time Adeya has found herself taking a sort of liking to this Duskwight. His easy going manner is enough for her to drop her guard around him a little; in addition, recent events with his sister have caused her to feel rather protective of him and his choices.
* '''[[Surge Dravorgas]]''' - A Hyur explorer that Adeya once shared a drink and interesting conversation with. While he can't seem to stay on one topic for more than a minute, some of his ideas seem to show promise. That is, assuming they don't blow up in his face first. Literally.
* '''[[Ziek Kazuto]]''' - A very odd Hyur that calls himself a wanderer. Adeya can't quite make sense of him, though she's hoping to run into him again. If only to get a chance to try to figure him out.
<br>

====<div style="color: #FFFFFF; text-align: center; padding:2px 15px; background: #00297C;">Rivals and Enemies</div>====
* '''[[Marielle Beaumontaire]]''' - "Manipulative she-devil." It would be hard to overstate the amount of contempt that Adeya feels towards this Elezen merchant. Having started off on rather a bad note, things have only become worse as Marielle's true intentions were revealed. Currently there is nothing that Adeya would love more than messing up her plans.
* '''[[Orrin Halgren]]''' - An Ishgardian Hyur who once employed Adeya for a trek into the Wanderer's Palace, one that left the group with more questions than answers. The pair used to have an agreement to share information with each other; however, after a recent confrontation Adeya has lost whatever good will she had towards him. While she will work with him if forced to, she certainly doesn't trust him, and will not hesitate to use whatever means necessary to stop him from hurting her friends again.
* '''Rhela Amariyo''' - The matriarch of Adeya's former clan. Despite years having gone by Adeya still carries a deep, abiding grudge towards the older woman. She suspects the feeling is mutual.

Your character may have a tie to Adeya if:
* They are an arcanist or are otherwise affiliated with the Arcanists' Guild. Depending on when they joined there's a good chance they may have worked together at some point or they might have heard some of the rumors about her.
* They are a Yellowjacket. Another case where they might have worked together. Perhaps dealing with smugglers or something along those lines.
* They are or were a member of the Wood Wailers or Gods' Quiver. While it's unlikely that they would know of Adeya personally, the name Evenar is known to be tied to the Padfoots, a small group of Keeper poachers and black market fur traders.
* They are interested in Nymian history. They might have heard a mention of her name or even read some of her work on attempting to reverse engineer Nymian magic.

<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">General Character</div>
<b>Name:</b> Asheloux Thalantos Haton (Ash-low Tha-lan-tose Hah-ton)

<b>Nickname:</b> None. He dislikes it when people call him anything other than his given name. His nickname is not "Ashe" and he will get annoyed if you address him as so

<b>Birthplace:</b> Gridania

<b>Age</b>: 28: Born in 1550

<b>Marital Status:</b> Single

<b>Sexuality:</b> Bisexual - preference goes towards men, though romance is not a major part of his life nor is interesting for him. He doesn't even know what flirting is...

<b>Class:</b> Ninja. Uses black magic incorrectly and risks blowing self up for incorrect use.

<b>Beliefs:</b> While he was brought up to revere Halone, Asheloux became interested in Thaumaturgy and, thus, Nald'thal. However, once uninterested in their limited magic and becoming more interested in the void and darker magics and beyond, Asheloux's faith in the twelve technically is absent as he strives for something more than what the twelve gave to Eorzea.

<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">Combat</div>

<b>Ninjutsu</b> When Asheloux got lost and ended up in Limsa instead of Ul’dah, he found himself in a position where he was able to train with the Ninjas. He became very skilled for someone who had lived his life indoors up until that point and only trained as a dragoon with his father for a brief amount of time, and can execute attacks using the 3 mudras. He prefers Ninjutsu to Black Magic. His aether abilities are mostly reserved now for research and has excelled as a physical fighter.

<b>Black Mage</b> Asheloux is a fake Black Mage and is not naturally gifted at casting. He was brought up to be a physical fighter and mostly resorts to the techniques of Black Magic to actually cast. His usage is dangerous and if used too much he could risk self-incineration. Asheloux isn’t one to do the fighting on any expeditions he may partake in, so not many get to see his skills. If he does find that he needs to fight on an expedition, he's most likely to take two daggers along.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #317873;font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">Appearance & Personality</div>===

<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">Appearance</div>

Asheloux, while very tall compared to most races, is actually on the shorter side for an Elezen. While he would tower over most, those of the same race tend to over at around half a head taller than him. His complexion is incredibly fair and reflects his indoor lifestyle. His face is also on the thin side, but not emaciated. He has the very lean feature very common of his race. His left and right eyes are mismatching, the right one being stark white and the left one is a deep red. This is impart due to an expert with Aether that went wrong. The experiment left Asheloux visually impaired in that eye, but also allowed him to visualize aether flows to the extent that he can more easily analyze aether. He usually covers his eyes with a pair of tinted glasses as to hide the oddity of his appearance. He isn’t self conscious about it, per say, but he doesn’t liked being asked questions about it. The accident also left white streaks in his otherwise jet black hair. His hair is short and relatively choppy and unkempt, but not sloppy. He cuts it himself with more than average skill but at the same time it is still rather uneven. His uncle made him dye over the white parts of his hair so he could be presentable. May go back to white form time to time.

His limbs are long and lean, pretty standard for an Elezen. He’s not exactly muscular but not fat. He is characteristically thin but since his speciality is in academia and magic, with some dual wielding training, he doesn’t have the body of say a seasoned swordsman. His hands are usually covered by some kind of glove, as though to prevent touching other people. He adorns himself with jewelry to boost airs about himself and wears casters’ robs of different varieties. For more fancy gatherings and important meetings, he will most likely show up in his artisan clothes.

He also has multiple scars along his back, arms, and hands, which is why he is usually covered from head to toe. The scars come from the beatings his father would give him, including the final one before his father's death.

He usually carries his mage staff with him as a precaution. Asheloux is a very mistrusting guy. He wouldn’t want to be caught without it.

There are times when Asheloux will go without his staff, and in that case he will usually be in the company of the Captains of his Alliance’s fleet. The other case would be when he has reasons to hide his identity. In that case, he will wear rogue attire. This isn’t that often though.

<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">Personality</div>
Asheloux is sharp-tongued and generally not sociable with people he deems are below him. Due to his upbringing, his lack of respect for others could solely be based on a person’s race. This is especially true for Miqo’te, Lalafell, Roegadyn, and Duskwight Elezen. For Hyur, it depends on mostly on his mood at the time. He is pretty straight-laced due to his academic upbringing and prefers formalities over pointless frivolities. That is not to say that he cannot enjoy himself in the right company. He gets along well with those who are like minded to him. He also is more relaxed around those who he doesn’t feel threaten his current existence in any way. He isn’t one to randomly strike up a conversation, but if he finds himself in a position conversing with a stranger, he knows how to put on airs to seem relatively normal. He not the type of person who one would ever be able to call their best friend.

He likes to make quips about others and is generally impatient with those who are slow or unwilling to try new things. Another interesting thing about Asheloux is that he will drop his stiff persona in a heartbeat if a conversation genuinely interests him. For example, if he is discussing a serious research passion, he may start to smile and talk more quickly. He is definitely a nerd through and through, but acts tough and has the strength to back it up.

Romantically, Asheloux is rather uninterested in most potential partners. He has found himself attracted towards both men and women, but more-so men. He can admire either gender’s beauty, and mostly leans towards men because of his lack of ability to properly communicate outside of people who are similar to him.

After his most recent incident of watching a close associate-friend-almost die, he has mellowed out--a lot. Still arrogant, but mellowed out a lot.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #317873;font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">History/Timeline</div>===
<table style="position:center;" width="100%">

Arthurioux Haton was an Ishgardian Dragoon and, much like all Ishgardians, was deeply devoted to his faith in Halone, The Fury. As a successful, high ranking official whose family is known for their distinguished weaponries research and development, Arthurioux had many men in his unit and would go on to fight bravely in the war against the dragons. He was even betrothed to a beautiful Elezen woman by the name of Elecotte Dauremant. Right before leaving for what would be his last time on the battlefield as a Dragoon, Elecotte informed Arthurioux that she was pregnant with his successor. Arthurioux was thrilled and vowed to come home victorious and he would come back and they would be wed. However, that did not go as planned. With the knowledge that he now had a future son and wife to come home to, he faltered on the battlefield. When his men needed him most, instead of doing what the good Ishgardian would do, and sacrifice himself for their cause, he deserted. Arthurioux was banished from Ishgard for his cowardice, along with his wife Elecotte. They traveled to the next safe-haven for their kind, which was Gridania. Arthurioux changed his last name to Thalantos and started a new life there.
<br />
<br />

Asheloux was born in Gridania and had a fairly normal upbringing. His father and mother instilled their Ishgardian teachings on him, and his father tried to get him to pick up the spear, but but Asheloux was not talented in the art like his father. Frustrated, his father had Elecotte school him on the teachings of Halone, which he enjoyed. Despite living in Gridania, he was very much a caged bird growing up. Although wealthy and noble in every right, Asheloux’s parents kept him and their family separated from the rest of society unless necessary. He grew up around books and his parents tough lessons and that grew to be normal. Their home was a large mansion on the edge of the Lavender Beds. No one really approached them and they kept to themselves.
<br />
<br />
When he was around 14 years old, a few neighborhood children started teasing him on the way home from running errands for his mother. While this was a normal occurrence for Asheloux, he never bothered to question his lifestyle with is family until something just clicked. When he got home for dinner that night, he inquired on the subject and his parents were furious that he would question their teachings. Asheloux’s curiosity started to peak and that is when he started wandering to the conjurer’s guild and other academic places in Gridania to learn more about the life outside of his home. The more he learned, the more enraged at his parents he became. He spent three years harboring these feelings, collecting books and information in secret and learning all he could about the cage that his parents had built for him. He grew towards the teachings of Nald’thal, and longed for the Thaumaturges of Ul’dah. Furthermore, he was drawn towards the void. He would practice in secret and had a natural affinity towards the magics but with no real training, he felt as though something was missing. He wanted to go to Ul’dah.
<br />
<br />
One day, Asheloux’s father discovered his secrets and that was when everything changed. He and his father got into a heated argument about honoring his Ishgardian roots. Asheloux on the other hand called his father out on being a traitor to his own people. The fight moved from verbal to physical. His father beat him senseless and would have probably killed him if it wasn’t for the Thaumaturgy he practiced in secret. Using his practiced talents, he focused all of the Aether in and around him on the conduction tool he had been using to practice one blow, accidentally casting Flare and destroying his home and part of the surrounding area, killing both of his parents and injuring himself.
<br />
<br />
Asheloux escaped from Gridania, with all the bitter memories of the place he had, and headed to where he thought was Ul’dah. He wasn’t penniless, so he wasn’t worried about his future. He just wanted to train with the mages. Having never traveled outside of Gridania, he found himself crossing into La Noscea. It was there that he got involved with a Ninja clan who, instead of killing him, trained him in the art of subtly and espionage. He found their connection to the elements through their mudras to be fascinating and enjoyed his time spent learning under them. From there, he started to travel all over Eorzea. It took him almost two years, but he finally reached Ul’dah. During that time, he had self-taught himself much of the basics of Thaumaturgy and was rather unimpressed with what the Coco brothers of the guild had to offer. He wanted to learn the black magics and it was there that by chance he ended up with the connections he needed to make that happen.
<br />
<br />
For the next 6 years, Asheloux taught himself how to use Black Magic, knowing the risks of spontaneously combusting. He learned other trades and fighting styles here and there, and learned more about the world than he could ever know. At the end of his training, Asheloux started experimenting with new magics and new ways of channeling aether and casting. During one of his experiments, something went wrong, damaging his left eye completely. The eye turned white and became functionally blind. However, it was able to see and help him visually process aether flows and magics. While the ability is not perfect and he does not know if it is just temporary, it has become useful to him in his research and hasn’t bothered to try and fix it.
<br />
<br />
Once he turned 25, Asheloux set out to travel the world and learn even more through experience and collection books. He established the Umbra as a group of researchers and informants and later allied himself with the Illustre Alliance as one of its leaders.
<br />
<br />
He has left Illustre Alliance to reform as Mythril Wings.
<br />
<br />
He is currently conducting research to exact revenge on Ishgard and all of the other city states that have caused him distress throughout his life. If you've found weird journals and dragon parts along with allagan tech fragments nearby, better call the authorities! He was later found by a Dragoon named Orrin who ended up capturing him and severely injuring a friend of his.
<br />
<br />
After being captured in Coerthas under suspicion as a heretic (which was true), Asheloux's uncle's family came under suspicion as well for heresy. In order to clear their names, they presented a case that Asheloux was part of their family and conducting research for the sake of Ishgad and that any weapons technologies he had developed would go to them. While Asheloux agreed and had lost his reasons for revenge. However, he continues to plot--planning to use his new-found power on the inside to help fund his Company's efforts to make Mythril Wings the safe haven he intends for it to be. He wants to give heretics, deserters, and exiles, along with others in need of shelter, a safe place to call home and out of the reaches of the law.
<br />
<br />
After earning the trust of the Lord Commander and others in Ishgard, Asheloux was granted leave explore the library and Sharlayan to find records to help expand his research. After obtaining such records and continuing to make a positive impression on his peers, his cousin grew jealous and started to go out of his way to thwart him at every turn. Everything from psychological torment to physical violence was fair game, for Theosoix knew that Asheloux was supposed to be the heir to the Haton family and he felt incredibly threatened by his cousin's presence. While waiting for a grant to explore Azys Lla, Adeya Evenar and Asheloux Thalantos set out to do some exploring on their own time in secret. Theosoix found out about it and lived up to every threat by having them arrested. Asheloux challenged Theosoix to a trial by combat--ultimately winning and decapitating his cousin. Theosoix's nightmare became a reality and Asheloux is was now set to inherit house Haton.

<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">General Character</div>
<b>Name:</b> Asheloux Thalantos Haton (Ash-low Tha-lan-tose Hah-ton)

<b>Nickname:</b> None. He dislikes it when people call him anything other than his given name. His nickname is not "Ashe" and he will get annoyed if you address him as so

<b>Birthplace:</b> Gridania

<b>Age</b>: 28: Born in 1550

<b>Marital Status:</b> Single

<b>Sexuality:</b> Bisexual - preference goes towards men, though romance is not a major part of his life nor is interesting for him. He doesn't even know what flirting is...

<b>Class:</b> Ninja. Uses black magic incorrectly and risks blowing self up for incorrect use.

<b>Beliefs:</b> While he was brought up to revere Halone, Asheloux became interested in Thaumaturgy and, thus, Nald'thal. However, once uninterested in their limited magic and becoming more interested in the void and darker magics and beyond, Asheloux's faith in the twelve technically is absent as he strives for something more than what the twelve gave to Eorzea.

<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">Combat</div>

<b>Ninjutsu</b> When Asheloux got lost and ended up in Limsa instead of Ul’dah, he found himself in a position where he was able to train with the Ninjas. He became very skilled for someone who had lived his life indoors up until that point and only trained as a dragoon with his father for a brief amount of time, and can execute attacks using the 3 mudras. He prefers Ninjutsu to Black Magic. His aether abilities are mostly reserved now for research and has excelled as a physical fighter.

<b>Black Mage</b> Asheloux is a fake Black Mage and is not naturally gifted at casting. He was brought up to be a physical fighter and mostly resorts to the techniques of Black Magic to actually cast. His usage is dangerous and if used too much he could risk self-incineration. Asheloux isn’t one to do the fighting on any expeditions he may partake in, so not many get to see his skills. If he does find that he needs to fight on an expedition, he's most likely to take two daggers along.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #317873;font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">Appearance & Personality</div>===

<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">Appearance</div>

Asheloux, while very tall compared to most races, is actually on the shorter side for an Elezen. While he would tower over most, those of the same race tend to over at around half a head taller than him. His complexion is incredibly fair and reflects his indoor lifestyle. His face is also on the thin side, but not emaciated. He has the very lean feature very common of his race. His left and right eyes are mismatching, the right one being stark white and the left one is a deep red. This is impart due to an expert with Aether that went wrong. The experiment left Asheloux visually impaired in that eye, but also allowed him to visualize aether flows to the extent that he can more easily analyze aether. He usually covers his eyes with a pair of tinted glasses as to hide the oddity of his appearance. He isn’t self conscious about it, per say, but he doesn’t liked being asked questions about it. The accident also left white streaks in his otherwise jet black hair. His hair is short and relatively choppy and unkempt, but not sloppy. He cuts it himself with more than average skill but at the same time it is still rather uneven. His uncle made him dye over the white parts of his hair so he could be presentable. May go back to white form time to time.

His limbs are long and lean, pretty standard for an Elezen. He’s not exactly muscular but not fat. He is characteristically thin but since his speciality is in academia and magic, with some dual wielding training, he doesn’t have the body of say a seasoned swordsman. His hands are usually covered by some kind of glove, as though to prevent touching other people. He adorns himself with jewelry to boost airs about himself and wears casters’ robs of different varieties. For more fancy gatherings and important meetings, he will most likely show up in his artisan clothes.

He also has multiple scars along his back, arms, and hands, which is why he is usually covered from head to toe. The scars come from the beatings his father would give him, including the final one before his father's death.

He usually carries his mage staff with him as a precaution. Asheloux is a very mistrusting guy. He wouldn’t want to be caught without it.

There are times when Asheloux will go without his staff, and in that case he will usually be in the company of the Captains of his Alliance’s fleet. The other case would be when he has reasons to hide his identity. In that case, he will wear rogue attire. This isn’t that often though.

<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">Personality</div>
Asheloux is sharp-tongued and generally not sociable with people he deems are below him. Due to his upbringing, his lack of respect for others could solely be based on a person’s race. This is especially true for Miqo’te, Lalafell, Roegadyn, and Duskwight Elezen. For Hyur, it depends on mostly on his mood at the time. He is pretty straight-laced due to his academic upbringing and prefers formalities over pointless frivolities. That is not to say that he cannot enjoy himself in the right company. He gets along well with those who are like minded to him. He also is more relaxed around those who he doesn’t feel threaten his current existence in any way. He isn’t one to randomly strike up a conversation, but if he finds himself in a position conversing with a stranger, he knows how to put on airs to seem relatively normal. He not the type of person who one would ever be able to call their best friend.

He likes to make quips about others and is generally impatient with those who are slow or unwilling to try new things. Another interesting thing about Asheloux is that he will drop his stiff persona in a heartbeat if a conversation genuinely interests him. For example, if he is discussing a serious research passion, he may start to smile and talk more quickly. He is definitely a nerd through and through, but acts tough and has the strength to back it up.

Romantically, Asheloux is rather uninterested in most potential partners. He has found himself attracted towards both men and women, but more-so men. He can admire either gender’s beauty, and mostly leans towards men because of his lack of ability to properly communicate outside of people who are similar to him.

After his most recent incident of watching a close associate-friend-almost die, he has mellowed out--a lot. Still arrogant, but mellowed out a lot.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #317873;font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">History/Timeline</div>===
<table style="position:center;" width="100%">

Arthurioux Haton was an Ishgardian Dragoon and, much like all Ishgardians, was deeply devoted to his faith in Halone, The Fury. As a successful, high ranking official whose family is known for their distinguished weaponries research and development, Arthurioux had many men in his unit and would go on to fight bravely in the war against the dragons. He was even betrothed to a beautiful Elezen woman by the name of Elecotte Dauremant. Right before leaving for what would be his last time on the battlefield as a Dragoon, Elecotte informed Arthurioux that she was pregnant with his successor. Arthurioux was thrilled and vowed to come home victorious and he would come back and they would be wed. However, that did not go as planned. With the knowledge that he now had a future son and wife to come home to, he faltered on the battlefield. When his men needed him most, instead of doing what the good Ishgardian would do, and sacrifice himself for their cause, he deserted. Arthurioux was banished from Ishgard for his cowardice, along with his wife Elecotte. They traveled to the next safe-haven for their kind, which was Gridania. Arthurioux changed his last name to Thalantos and started a new life there.
<br />
<br />

Asheloux was born in Gridania and had a fairly normal upbringing. His father and mother instilled their Ishgardian teachings on him, and his father tried to get him to pick up the spear, but but Asheloux was not talented in the art like his father. Frustrated, his father had Elecotte school him on the teachings of Halone, which he enjoyed. Despite living in Gridania, he was very much a caged bird growing up. Although wealthy and noble in every right, Asheloux’s parents kept him and their family separated from the rest of society unless necessary. He grew up around books and his parents tough lessons and that grew to be normal. Their home was a large mansion on the edge of the Lavender Beds. No one really approached them and they kept to themselves.
<br />
<br />
When he was around 14 years old, a few neighborhood children started teasing him on the way home from running errands for his mother. While this was a normal occurrence for Asheloux, he never bothered to question his lifestyle with is family until something just clicked. When he got home for dinner that night, he inquired on the subject and his parents were furious that he would question their teachings. Asheloux’s curiosity started to peak and that is when he started wandering to the conjurer’s guild and other academic places in Gridania to learn more about the life outside of his home. The more he learned, the more enraged at his parents he became. He spent three years harboring these feelings, collecting books and information in secret and learning all he could about the cage that his parents had built for him. He grew towards the teachings of Nald’thal, and longed for the Thaumaturges of Ul’dah. Furthermore, he was drawn towards the void. He would practice in secret and had a natural affinity towards the magics but with no real training, he felt as though something was missing. He wanted to go to Ul’dah.
<br />
<br />
One day, Asheloux’s father discovered his secrets and that was when everything changed. He and his father got into a heated argument about honoring his Ishgardian roots. Asheloux on the other hand called his father out on being a traitor to his own people. The fight moved from verbal to physical. His father beat him senseless and would have probably killed him if it wasn’t for the Thaumaturgy he practiced in secret. Using his practiced talents, he focused all of the Aether in and around him on the conduction tool he had been using to practice one blow, accidentally casting Flare and destroying his home and part of the surrounding area, killing both of his parents and injuring himself.
<br />
<br />
Asheloux escaped from Gridania, with all the bitter memories of the place he had, and headed to where he thought was Ul’dah. He wasn’t penniless, so he wasn’t worried about his future. He just wanted to train with the mages. Having never traveled outside of Gridania, he found himself crossing into La Noscea. It was there that he got involved with a Ninja clan who, instead of killing him, trained him in the art of subtly and espionage. He found their connection to the elements through their mudras to be fascinating and enjoyed his time spent learning under them. From there, he started to travel all over Eorzea. It took him almost two years, but he finally reached Ul’dah. During that time, he had self-taught himself much of the basics of Thaumaturgy and was rather unimpressed with what the Coco brothers of the guild had to offer. He wanted to learn the black magics and it was there that by chance he ended up with the connections he needed to make that happen.
<br />
<br />
For the next 6 years, Asheloux taught himself how to use Black Magic, knowing the risks of spontaneously combusting. He learned other trades and fighting styles here and there, and learned more about the world than he could ever know. At the end of his training, Asheloux started experimenting with new magics and new ways of channeling aether and casting. During one of his experiments, something went wrong, damaging his left eye completely. The eye turned white and became functionally blind. However, it was able to see and help him visually process aether flows and magics. While the ability is not perfect and he does not know if it is just temporary, it has become useful to him in his research and hasn’t bothered to try and fix it.
<br />
<br />
Once he turned 25, Asheloux set out to travel the world and learn even more through experience and collection books. He established the Umbra as a group of researchers and informants and later allied himself with the Illustre Alliance as one of its leaders.
<br />
<br />
He has left Illustre Alliance to reform as Mythril Wings.
<br />
<br />
He is currently conducting research to exact revenge on Ishgard and all of the other city states that have caused him distress throughout his life. If you've found weird journals and dragon parts along with allagan tech fragments nearby, better call the authorities! He was later found by a Dragoon named Orrin who ended up capturing him and severely injuring a friend of his.
<br />
<br />
After being captured in Coerthas under suspicion as a heretic (which was true), Asheloux's uncle's family came under suspicion as well for heresy. In order to clear their names, they presented a case that Asheloux was part of their family and conducting research for the sake of Ishgad and that any weapons technologies he had developed would go to them. While Asheloux agreed and had lost his reasons for revenge. However, he continues to plot--planning to use his new-found power on the inside to help fund his Company's efforts to make Mythril Wings the safe haven he intends for it to be. He wants to give heretics, deserters, and exiles, along with others in need of shelter, a safe place to call home and out of the reaches of the law.
<br />
<br />
After earning the trust of the Lord Commander and others in Ishgard, Asheloux was granted leave explore the library and Sharlayan to find records to help expand his research. After obtaining such records and continuing to make a positive impression on his peers, his cousin grew jealous and started to go out of his way to thwart him at every turn. Everything from psychological torment to physical violence was fair game, for Theosoix knew that Asheloux was supposed to be the heir to the Haton family and he felt incredibly threatened by his cousin's presence. While waiting for a grant to explore Azys Lla, Adeya Evenar and Asheloux Thalantos set out to do some exploring on their own time in secret. Theosoix found out about it and lived up to every threat by having them arrested. Asheloux challenged Theosoix to a trial by combat--ultimately winning and decapitating his cousin. Theosoix's nightmare became a reality and Asheloux is was now set to inherit house Haton.

<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">General Character</div>
<b>Name:</b> Asheloux Thalantos Haton (Ash-low Tha-lan-tose Hah-ton)

<b>Nickname:</b> None. He dislikes it when people call him anything other than his given name. His nickname is not "Ashe" and he will get annoyed if you address him as so

<b>Birthplace:</b> Gridania

<b>Age</b>: 28: Born in 1550

<b>Marital Status:</b> Single

<b>Sexuality:</b> Bisexual - preference goes towards men, though romance is not a major part of his life nor is interesting for him. He doesn't even know what flirting is...

<b>Class:</b> Ninja. Uses black magic incorrectly and risks blowing self up for incorrect use.

<b>Beliefs:</b> While he was brought up to revere Halone, Asheloux became interested in Thaumaturgy and, thus, Nald'thal. However, once uninterested in their limited magic and becoming more interested in the void and darker magics and beyond, Asheloux's faith in the twelve technically is absent as he strives for something more than what the twelve gave to Eorzea.

<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">Combat</div>

<b>Ninjutsu</b> When Asheloux got lost and ended up in Limsa instead of Ul’dah, he found himself in a position where he was able to train with the Ninjas. He became very skilled for someone who had lived his life indoors up until that point and only trained as a dragoon with his father for a brief amount of time, and can execute attacks using the 3 mudras. He prefers Ninjutsu to Black Magic. His aether abilities are mostly reserved now for research and has excelled as a physical fighter.

<b>Black Mage</b> Asheloux is a fake Black Mage and is not naturally gifted at casting. He was brought up to be a physical fighter and mostly resorts to the techniques of Black Magic to actually cast. His usage is dangerous and if used too much he could risk self-incineration. Asheloux isn’t one to do the fighting on any expeditions he may partake in, so not many get to see his skills. If he does find that he needs to fight on an expedition, he's most likely to take two daggers along.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #317873;font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">Appearance & Personality</div>===

<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">Appearance</div>

Asheloux, while very tall compared to most races, is actually on the shorter side for an Elezen. While he would tower over most, those of the same race tend to over at around half a head taller than him. His complexion is incredibly fair and reflects his indoor lifestyle. His face is also on the thin side, but not emaciated. He has the very lean feature very common of his race. His left and right eyes are mismatching, the right one being stark white and the left one is a deep red. This is impart due to an expert with Aether that went wrong. The experiment left Asheloux visually impaired in that eye, but also allowed him to visualize aether flows to the extent that he can more easily analyze aether. He usually covers his eyes with a pair of tinted glasses as to hide the oddity of his appearance. He isn’t self conscious about it, per say, but he doesn’t liked being asked questions about it. The accident also left white streaks in his otherwise jet black hair. His hair is short and relatively choppy and unkempt, but not sloppy. He cuts it himself with more than average skill but at the same time it is still rather uneven. His uncle made him dye over the white parts of his hair so he could be presentable. May go back to white form time to time.

His limbs are long and lean, pretty standard for an Elezen. He’s not exactly muscular but not fat. He is characteristically thin but since his speciality is in academia and magic, with some dual wielding training, he doesn’t have the body of say a seasoned swordsman. His hands are usually covered by some kind of glove, as though to prevent touching other people. He adorns himself with jewelry to boost airs about himself and wears casters’ robs of different varieties. For more fancy gatherings and important meetings, he will most likely show up in his artisan clothes.

He also has multiple scars along his back, arms, and hands, which is why he is usually covered from head to toe. The scars come from the beatings his father would give him, including the final one before his father's death.

He usually carries his mage staff with him as a precaution. Asheloux is a very mistrusting guy. He wouldn’t want to be caught without it.

There are times when Asheloux will go without his staff, and in that case he will usually be in the company of the Captains of his Alliance’s fleet. The other case would be when he has reasons to hide his identity. In that case, he will wear rogue attire. This isn’t that often though.

<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">Personality</div>
Asheloux is sharp-tongued and generally not sociable with people he deems are below him. Due to his upbringing, his lack of respect for others could solely be based on a person’s race. This is especially true for Miqo’te, Lalafell, Roegadyn, and Duskwight Elezen. For Hyur, it depends on mostly on his mood at the time. He is pretty straight-laced due to his academic upbringing and prefers formalities over pointless frivolities. That is not to say that he cannot enjoy himself in the right company. He gets along well with those who are like minded to him. He also is more relaxed around those who he doesn’t feel threaten his current existence in any way. He isn’t one to randomly strike up a conversation, but if he finds himself in a position conversing with a stranger, he knows how to put on airs to seem relatively normal. He not the type of person who one would ever be able to call their best friend.

He likes to make quips about others and is generally impatient with those who are slow or unwilling to try new things. Another interesting thing about Asheloux is that he will drop his stiff persona in a heartbeat if a conversation genuinely interests him. For example, if he is discussing a serious research passion, he may start to smile and talk more quickly. He is definitely a nerd through and through, but acts tough and has the strength to back it up.

Romantically, Asheloux is rather uninterested in most potential partners. He has found himself attracted towards both men and women, but more-so men. He can admire either gender’s beauty, and mostly leans towards men because of his lack of ability to properly communicate outside of people who are similar to him.

After his most recent incident of watching a close associate-friend-almost die, he has mellowed out--a lot. Still arrogant, but mellowed out a lot.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #317873;font-size:14px;color:#a0d6b4;">History/Timeline</div>===
<table style="position:center;" width="100%">

Arthurioux Haton was an Ishgardian Dragoon and, much like all Ishgardians, was deeply devoted to his faith in Halone, The Fury. As a successful, high ranking official whose family is known for their distinguished weaponries research and development, Arthurioux had many men in his unit and would go on to fight bravely in the war against the dragons. He was even betrothed to a beautiful Elezen woman by the name of Elecotte Dauremant. Right before leaving for what would be his last time on the battlefield as a Dragoon, Elecotte informed Arthurioux that she was pregnant with his successor. Arthurioux was thrilled and vowed to come home victorious and he would come back and they would be wed. However, that did not go as planned. With the knowledge that he now had a future son and wife to come home to, he faltered on the battlefield. When his men needed him most, instead of doing what the good Ishgardian would do, and sacrifice himself for their cause, he deserted. Arthurioux was banished from Ishgard for his cowardice, along with his wife Elecotte. They traveled to the next safe-haven for their kind, which was Gridania. Arthurioux changed his last name to Thalantos and started a new life there.
<br />
<br />

Asheloux was born in Gridania and had a fairly normal upbringing. His father and mother instilled their Ishgardian teachings on him, and his father tried to get him to pick up the spear, but but Asheloux was not talented in the art like his father. Frustrated, his father had Elecotte school him on the teachings of Halone, which he enjoyed. Despite living in Gridania, he was very much a caged bird growing up. Although wealthy and noble in every right, Asheloux’s parents kept him and their family separated from the rest of society unless necessary. He grew up around books and his parents tough lessons and that grew to be normal. Their home was a large mansion on the edge of the Lavender Beds. No one really approached them and they kept to themselves.
<br />
<br />
When he was around 14 years old, a few neighborhood children started teasing him on the way home from running errands for his mother. While this was a normal occurrence for Asheloux, he never bothered to question his lifestyle with is family until something just clicked. When he got home for dinner that night, he inquired on the subject and his parents were furious that he would question their teachings. Asheloux’s curiosity started to peak and that is when he started wandering to the conjurer’s guild and other academic places in Gridania to learn more about the life outside of his home. The more he learned, the more enraged at his parents he became. He spent three years harboring these feelings, collecting books and information in secret and learning all he could about the cage that his parents had built for him. He grew towards the teachings of Nald’thal, and longed for the Thaumaturges of Ul’dah. Furthermore, he was drawn towards the void. He would practice in secret and had a natural affinity towards the magics but with no real training, he felt as though something was missing. He wanted to go to Ul’dah.
<br />
<br />
One day, Asheloux’s father discovered his secrets and that was when everything changed. He and his father got into a heated argument about honoring his Ishgardian roots. Asheloux on the other hand called his father out on being a traitor to his own people. The fight moved from verbal to physical. His father beat him senseless and would have probably killed him if it wasn’t for the Thaumaturgy he practiced in secret. Using his practiced talents, he focused all of the Aether in and around him on the conduction tool he had been using to practice one blow, accidentally casting Flare and destroying his home and part of the surrounding area, killing both of his parents and injuring himself.
<br />
<br />
Asheloux escaped from Gridania, with all the bitter memories of the place he had, and headed to where he thought was Ul’dah. He wasn’t penniless, so he wasn’t worried about his future. He just wanted to train with the mages. Having never traveled outside of Gridania, he found himself crossing into La Noscea. It was there that he got involved with a Ninja clan who, instead of killing him, trained him in the art of subtly and espionage. He found their connection to the elements through their mudras to be fascinating and enjoyed his time spent learning under them. From there, he started to travel all over Eorzea. It took him almost two years, but he finally reached Ul’dah. During that time, he had self-taught himself much of the basics of Thaumaturgy and was rather unimpressed with what the Coco brothers of the guild had to offer. He wanted to learn the black magics and it was there that by chance he ended up with the connections he needed to make that happen.
<br />
<br />
For the next 6 years, Asheloux taught himself how to use Black Magic, knowing the risks of spontaneously combusting. He learned other trades and fighting styles here and there, and learned more about the world than he could ever know. At the end of his training, Asheloux started experimenting with new magics and new ways of channeling aether and casting. During one of his experiments, something went wrong, damaging his left eye completely. The eye turned white and became functionally blind. However, it was able to see and help him visually process aether flows and magics. While the ability is not perfect and he does not know if it is just temporary, it has become useful to him in his research and hasn’t bothered to try and fix it.
<br />
<br />
Once he turned 25, Asheloux set out to travel the world and learn even more through experience and collection books. He established the Umbra as a group of researchers and informants and later allied himself with the Illustre Alliance as one of its leaders.
<br />
<br />
He has left Illustre Alliance to reform as Mythril Wings.
<br />
<br />
He is currently conducting research to exact revenge on Ishgard and all of the other city states that have caused him distress throughout his life. If you've found weird journals and dragon parts along with allagan tech fragments nearby, better call the authorities! He was later found by a Dragoon named Orrin who ended up capturing him and severely injuring a friend of his.
<br />
<br />
After being captured in Coerthas under suspicion as a heretic (which was true), Asheloux's uncle's family came under suspicion as well for heresy. In order to clear their names, they presented a case that Asheloux was part of their family and conducting research for the sake of Ishgad and that any weapons technologies he had developed would go to them. While Asheloux agreed and had lost his reasons for revenge. However, he continues to plot--planning to use his new-found power on the inside to help fund his Company's efforts to make Mythril Wings the safe haven he intends for it to be. He wants to give heretics, deserters, and exiles, along with others in need of shelter, a safe place to call home and out of the reaches of the law.
<br />
<br />
After earning the trust of the Lord Commander and others in Ishgard, Asheloux was granted leave explore the library and Sharlayan to find records to help expand his research. After obtaining such records and continuing to make a positive impression on his peers, his cousin grew jealous and started to go out of his way to thwart him at every turn. Everything from psychological torment to physical violence was fair game, for Theosoix knew that Asheloux was supposed to be the heir to the Haton family and he felt incredibly threatened by his cousin's presence. While waiting for a grant to explore Azys Lla, Adeya Evenar and Asheloux Thalantos set out to do some exploring on their own time in secret. Theosoix found out about it and lived up to every threat by having them arrested. Asheloux challenged Theosoix to a trial by combat--ultimately winning and decapitating his cousin. Theosoix's nightmare became a reality and Asheloux is was now set to inherit house Haton.
