<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Akane stands as somewhat above-average height for an Auri woman, at about 5'6". She is slender (~130 ponze) but somewhat athletically built, denoting her newfound place on the field of battle. Her skin tone is fair, with wine-red eyes, and the signature ivory scales of her people; her hair is black and straight, hanging just below her shoulder blades. Akane's horns are forward-curving and point slightly down.

'''Scars & Markings:'''
Akane's only scars of note are most-often hidden. A large, rather gruesome scar runs along the length of her back; a glancing blow from a greatsword and failed attempt on her life. Her right eye is scarred shut, at the cost of the eye itself, but is hidden by a steel-plated eyepatch; her right horn is missing its tip, capped off by steel as well. On her left forearm she is missing a small patch of scales, where they refuse to regrow over scar tissue; possibly self-inflicted.

'''Voice:''' - Generally, Akane is soft spoken, though her tone can read as a bit cold or aloof most of the time. She speaks with a slight Doman accent, but is exceptionally fluent in Eorzean/common tongue. Her voice is perhaps somewhat deeper than her appearance might let on.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkbgCJJd5tE Voice Claim - Bae Doona]

'''Clothing:''' Akane typically dresses in neatly-kept finery, preferring to mix form with function; her clothing allows her the mobility required of someone who may find themselves in a situation that demands attack or escape, while still being presentable, and possibly suggesting to onlookers a position of power, influence or wealth. Most often, her wardrobe is Eorzean-influenced, but she will dress in Far-Eastern fashions when abroad or in private. She is never seen without a pair of bauble horn-ornaments, nor her eyepatch.

<tab name="History" style="padding: 10px; margin-left: 0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 10px; border-color:#941717; border-radius:15px; background-color: #ffffff;">



<div style="float:right; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[File:Akane4.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Deep within the mountains of rural Doma once stood a prosperous village, nestled into a quiet, wooded valley. Its name was 'Kamui Kotan'; in the old Raen tongue, supposedly, 'The Place Where Kami Live.' Since the Raen's migration from the Azim steppe, the people of Kamui Kotan lived peacefully, preferring a rather medieval way of life while the world around them grew more and more advanced. It was seldom that visitors strayed so far into the mountains, and equally rare for villagers to leave its gates for long, leaving its denizens more or less cut off from the world. Commerce was had only between the next-closest Raen village, across the mountain eastward, and with the Lupin tribe that inhabited that of the west. This was their way of life, and seldom was it disturbed.

That is, until the Garlean Empire sought land for their newest Castrum.

The destruction of Kamui Kotan was nigh imminent; however fierce and dedicated its warriors and magic-users were, they had never encountered the destructive force that was a Garlean artillery. From the moment it was decided they would not turn over their land peacefully, the Imperial forces razed the ancient, holy village, and nearly all its inhabitants with it. A small few were afforded escape into the neighboring forest -- namely, the sovereign family of Kamui Kotan, and a number of dedicated servants and guardsmen. For weeks did this group travel the forests, largely by night, toward the hills of Yanxia; finally arriving to see the land was no less ravaged by war than their own. A war they had never imagined may even exist. Eventually, after bartering their arms and armor, the survivors of Kamui Kotan found themselves aboard a vessel to Hingashi; from there, the servants and guards would depart at their Lord's behest, who used what little he could to purchase hidden passage to Eorzea for his sons and daughter.

This is how Akane Gozen arrived in the strange continent to the West. Her father's bribery found Akane and her brothers as far as Limsa Lominsa, closed up in a cramped, derelict storage shed, where the three siblings lived for several moons. Eventually, Akane's elder brothers left La Noscea, joining a supposed Doman resistance faction in Mor Dhona; Akane herself, timid and fearful of war, took instead to educating herself, soon joining the College of Arcanima in Limsa, where she discovered not only a passion, but a prodigal knack for the arcane and healing arts, as well as strategy and tactics, progressing at a rate seldom seen of even its brightest students. By the time a cycle of seasons had passed, Akane had left Limsa Lominsa to see the world for herself, discarding the blood-stained memories of her former home in the pursuit of knowledge and adventure, eventually joining the Order of the Twin Adder in Gridania.

Akane has since left the Twin Adder and joined the Anti-Garlean insurgence as a strategist, and has taken part in several of the more recent battles involving the Doman rebellion as well as the freeing of Ala Mhigo. The now twenty-five-year-old woman is no longer timid, nor afraid of warfare, and has a colder, more cynical outlook on the world since its horrors were revealed to her.

<div style="float:left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[File:Akane5.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Since returning to Eorzea from a prolonged, complicated stay in the East, Akane's life has spun into utter turmoil. She received news that her husband-to-be, in a desperate search for her, was killed by Sekiseigumi in Kugane; this plunged her mind into the depths of guilt, blaming herself for the ordeal. Most recently, Akane was able to come into posession of her beloved's soul stone, and is working toward posession of his battleaxe as well -- by whatever means she deems necessary to preserve his memory.

Hiring a small number of subordinates into her employ, Akane has begun to amass a collection of Auracite, though her purposes for such a thing remain undisclosed. She often joins her hirelings on forays into different tombs, crypts and ruins, excavating whatever artifacts and uncovering whatever knowledge worth the effort (and coin), and is seen traveling between almost all regions of Eorzea amidst her conquests.

In the streets of Kugane and Shirogane alike, there have lately been wanted posters bearing an illustration that may resemble Akane's face, albeit with both her eyes, horns intact, and differently-worn hair. While it is possible the likeness is mere coincidence, it could also be noted that Akane nolonger travels to or through Hingashi. The current bounty is 150,000 gil.

He happened to make conversation with her while she waited for a prospective business partner in Ul'dah, and they soon joined the same Free Company. She once had feelings for him, and the two were briefly close, but decided mutually that his more lecherous behavior may end up in one of them getting hurt, deciding instead to remain friends. Akane has not seen Luke since her time as an Outrider, but he plays a key role in some of the few fond memories she still keeps.</div>

<div style="float:left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px;">[[File:Akane3.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Akane stands as somewhat above-average height for an Auri woman, at about 5'6". She is slender (~130 ponze) but somewhat athletically built, denoting her newfound place on the field of battle. Her skin tone is fair, with wine-red eyes, and the signature ivory scales of her people; her hair is black and straight, hanging just below her shoulder blades. Akane's horns are forward-curving and point slightly down.

'''Scars & Markings:'''
Akane's only scars of note are most-often hidden. A large, rather gruesome scar runs along the length of her back; a glancing blow from a greatsword and failed attempt on her life. Her right eye is scarred shut, at the cost of the eye itself, but is hidden by a steel-plated eyepatch; her right horn is missing its tip, capped off by steel as well. On her left forearm she is missing a small patch of scales, where they refuse to regrow over scar tissue; possibly self-inflicted.

'''Voice:''' - Generally, Akane is soft spoken, though her tone can read as a bit cold or aloof most of the time. She speaks with a slight Doman accent, but is exceptionally fluent in Eorzean/common tongue. Her voice is perhaps somewhat deeper than her appearance might let on.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkbgCJJd5tE Voice Claim - Bae Doona]

'''Clothing:''' Akane typically dresses in neatly-kept finery, preferring to mix form with function; her clothing allows her the mobility required of someone who may find themselves in a situation that demands attack or escape, while still being presentable, and possibly suggesting to onlookers a position of power, influence or wealth. Most often, her wardrobe is Eorzean-influenced, but she will dress in Far-Eastern fashions when abroad or in private. She is never seen without a pair of bauble horn-ornaments, nor her eyepatch.

<tab name="History" style="padding: 10px; margin-left: 0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 10px; border-color:#941717; border-radius:15px; background-color: #ffffff;">



<div style="float:right; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[File:Akane4.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Deep within the mountains of rural Doma once stood a prosperous village, nestled into a quiet, wooded valley. Its name was 'Kamui Kotan'; in the old Raen tongue, supposedly, 'The Place Where Kami Live.' Since the Raen's migration from the Azim steppe, the people of Kamui Kotan lived peacefully, preferring a rather medieval way of life while the world around them grew more and more advanced. It was seldom that visitors strayed so far into the mountains, and equally rare for villagers to leave its gates for long, leaving its denizens more or less cut off from the world. Commerce was had only between the next-closest Raen village, across the mountain eastward, and with the Lupin tribe that inhabited that of the west. This was their way of life, and seldom was it disturbed.

That is, until the Garlean Empire sought land for their newest Castrum.

The destruction of Kamui Kotan was nigh imminent; however fierce and dedicated its warriors and magic-users were, they had never encountered the destructive force that was a Garlean artillery. From the moment it was decided they would not turn over their land peacefully, the Imperial forces razed the ancient, holy village, and nearly all its inhabitants with it. A small few were afforded escape into the neighboring forest -- namely, the sovereign family of Kamui Kotan, and a number of dedicated servants and guardsmen. For weeks did this group travel the forests, largely by night, toward the hills of Yanxia; finally arriving to see the land was no less ravaged by war than their own. A war they had never imagined may even exist. Eventually, after bartering their arms and armor, the survivors of Kamui Kotan found themselves aboard a vessel to Hingashi; from there, the servants and guards would depart at their Lord's behest, who used what little he could to purchase hidden passage to Eorzea for his sons and daughter.

This is how Akane Gozen arrived in the strange continent to the West. Her father's bribery found Akane and her brothers as far as Limsa Lominsa, closed up in a cramped, derelict storage shed, where the three siblings lived for several moons. Eventually, Akane's elder brothers left La Noscea, joining a supposed Doman resistance faction in Mor Dhona; Akane herself, timid and fearful of war, took instead to educating herself, soon joining the College of Arcanima in Limsa, where she discovered not only a passion, but a prodigal knack for the arcane and healing arts, as well as strategy and tactics, progressing at a rate seldom seen of even its brightest students. By the time a cycle of seasons had passed, Akane had left Limsa Lominsa to see the world for herself, discarding the blood-stained memories of her former home in the pursuit of knowledge and adventure, eventually joining the Order of the Twin Adder in Gridania.

Akane has since left the Twin Adder and joined the Anti-Garlean insurgence as a strategist, and has taken part in several of the more recent battles involving the Doman rebellion as well as the freeing of Ala Mhigo. The now twenty-five-year-old woman is no longer timid, nor afraid of warfare, and has a colder, more cynical outlook on the world since its horrors were revealed to her.

<div style="float:left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[File:Akane5.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Since returning to Eorzea from a prolonged, complicated stay in the East, Akane's life has spun into utter turmoil. She received news that her husband-to-be, in a desperate search for her, was killed by Sekiseigumi in Kugane; this plunged her mind into the depths of guilt, blaming herself for the ordeal. Most recently, Akane was able to come into posession of her beloved's soul stone, and is working toward posession of his battleaxe as well -- by whatever means she deems necessary to preserve his memory.

Hiring a small number of subordinates into her employ, Akane has begun to amass a collection of Auracite, though her purposes for such a thing remain undisclosed. She often joins her hirelings on forays into different tombs, crypts and ruins, excavating whatever artifacts and uncovering whatever knowledge worth the effort (and coin), and is seen traveling between almost all regions of Eorzea amidst her conquests.

In the streets of Kugane and Shirogane alike, there have lately been wanted posters bearing an illustration that may resemble Akane's face, albeit with both her eyes, horns intact, and differently-worn hair. While it is possible the likeness is mere coincidence, it could also be noted that Akane nolonger travels to or through Hingashi. The current bounty is 150,000 gil.

Willis made for Kugane to search for his fiancee, but was driven mad by the machinations of their former employer, eventually being killed by Sekiseigumi.

<div style="float:left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px;">[[File:Akane3.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Akane stands as somewhat above-average height for an Auri woman, at about 5'6". She is slender (~130 ponze) but somewhat athletically built, denoting her newfound place on the field of battle. Her skin tone is fair, with wine-red eyes, and the signature ivory scales of her people; her hair is black and straight, hanging just below her shoulder blades. Akane's horns are forward-curving and point slightly down.

'''Scars & Markings:'''
Akane's only scars of note are most-often hidden. A large, rather gruesome scar runs along the length of her back; a glancing blow from a greatsword and failed attempt on her life. Her right eye is scarred shut, at the cost of the eye itself, but is hidden by a steel-plated eyepatch; her right horn is missing its tip, capped off by steel as well. On her left forearm she is missing a small patch of scales, where they refuse to regrow over scar tissue; possibly self-inflicted.

'''Voice:''' - Generally, Akane is soft spoken, though her tone can read as a bit cold or aloof most of the time. She speaks with a slight Doman accent, but is exceptionally fluent in Eorzean/common tongue. Her voice is perhaps somewhat deeper than her appearance might let on.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkbgCJJd5tE Voice Claim - Bae Doona]

'''Clothing:''' Akane typically dresses in neatly-kept finery, preferring to mix form with function; her clothing allows her the mobility required of someone who may find themselves in a situation that demands attack or escape, while still being presentable, and possibly suggesting to onlookers a position of power, influence or wealth. Most often, her wardrobe is Eorzean-influenced, but she will dress in Far-Eastern fashions when abroad or in private. She is never seen without a pair of bauble horn-ornaments, nor her eyepatch.

<tab name="History" style="padding: 10px; margin-left: 0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 10px; border-color:#941717; border-radius:15px; background-color: #ffffff;">



<div style="float:right; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[File:Akane4.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Deep within the mountains of rural Doma once stood a prosperous village, nestled into a quiet, wooded valley. Its name was 'Kamui Kotan'; in the old Raen tongue, supposedly, 'The Place Where Kami Live.' Since the Raen's migration from the Azim steppe, the people of Kamui Kotan lived peacefully, preferring a rather medieval way of life while the world around them grew more and more advanced. It was seldom that visitors strayed so far into the mountains, and equally rare for villagers to leave its gates for long, leaving its denizens more or less cut off from the world. Commerce was had only between the next-closest Raen village, across the mountain eastward, and with the Lupin tribe that inhabited that of the west. This was their way of life, and seldom was it disturbed.

That is, until the Garlean Empire sought land for their newest Castrum.

The destruction of Kamui Kotan was nigh imminent; however fierce and dedicated its warriors and magic-users were, they had never encountered the destructive force that was a Garlean artillery. From the moment it was decided they would not turn over their land peacefully, the Imperial forces razed the ancient, holy village, and nearly all its inhabitants with it. A small few were afforded escape into the neighboring forest -- namely, the sovereign family of Kamui Kotan, and a number of dedicated servants and guardsmen. For weeks did this group travel the forests, largely by night, toward the hills of Yanxia; finally arriving to see the land was no less ravaged by war than their own. A war they had never imagined may even exist. Eventually, after bartering their arms and armor, the survivors of Kamui Kotan found themselves aboard a vessel to Hingashi; from there, the servants and guards would depart at their Lord's behest, who used what little he could to purchase hidden passage to Eorzea for his sons and daughter.

This is how Akane Gozen arrived in the strange continent to the West. Her father's bribery found Akane and her brothers as far as Limsa Lominsa, closed up in a cramped, derelict storage shed, where the three siblings lived for several moons. Eventually, Akane's elder brothers left La Noscea, joining a supposed Doman resistance faction in Mor Dhona; Akane herself, timid and fearful of war, took instead to educating herself, soon joining the College of Arcanima in Limsa, where she discovered not only a passion, but a prodigal knack for the arcane and healing arts, as well as strategy and tactics, progressing at a rate seldom seen of even its brightest students. By the time a cycle of seasons had passed, Akane had left Limsa Lominsa to see the world for herself, discarding the blood-stained memories of her former home in the pursuit of knowledge and adventure, eventually joining the Order of the Twin Adder in Gridania.

Akane has since left the Twin Adder and joined the Anti-Garlean insurgence as a strategist, and has taken part in several of the more recent battles involving the Doman rebellion as well as the freeing of Ala Mhigo. The now twenty-five-year-old woman is no longer timid, nor afraid of warfare, and has a colder, more cynical outlook on the world since its horrors were revealed to her.

<div style="float:left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[File:Akane5.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Since returning to Eorzea from a prolonged, complicated stay in the East, Akane's life has spun into utter turmoil. She received news that her husband-to-be, in a desperate search for her, was killed by Sekiseigumi in Kugane; this plunged her mind into the depths of guilt, blaming herself for the ordeal. Most recently, Akane was able to come into posession of her beloved's soul stone, and is working toward posession of his battleaxe as well -- by whatever means she deems necessary to preserve his memory.

Hiring a small number of subordinates into her employ, Akane has begun to amass a collection of Auracite, though her purposes for such a thing remain undisclosed. She often joins her hirelings on forays into different tombs, crypts and ruins, excavating whatever artifacts and uncovering whatever knowledge worth the effort (and coin), and is seen traveling between almost all regions of Eorzea amidst her conquests.

In the streets of Kugane and Shirogane alike, there have lately been wanted posters bearing an illustration that may resemble Akane's face, albeit with both her eyes, horns intact, and differently-worn hair. While it is possible the likeness is mere coincidence, it could also be noted that Akane nolonger travels to or through Hingashi. The current bounty is 150,000 gil.

<div style="float:left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px;">[[File:Akane3.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Akane stands as somewhat above-average height for an Auri woman, at about 5'6". She is slender (~130 ponze) but somewhat athletically built, denoting her newfound place on the field of battle. Her skin tone is fair, with wine-red eyes, and the signature ivory scales of her people; her hair is black and straight, hanging just below her shoulder blades. Akane's horns are forward-curving and point slightly down.

'''Scars & Markings:'''
Akane's only scars of note are most-often hidden. A large, rather gruesome scar runs along the length of her back; a glancing blow from a greatsword and failed attempt on her life. Her right eye is scarred shut, at the cost of the eye itself, but is hidden by a steel-plated eyepatch; her right horn is missing its tip, capped off by steel as well. On her left forearm she is missing a small patch of scales, where they refuse to regrow over scar tissue; possibly self-inflicted.

'''Voice:''' - Generally, Akane is soft spoken, though her tone can read as a bit cold or aloof most of the time. She speaks with a slight Doman accent, but is exceptionally fluent in Eorzean/common tongue. Her voice is perhaps somewhat deeper than her appearance might let on.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkbgCJJd5tE Voice Claim - Bae Doona]

'''Clothing:''' Akane typically dresses in neatly-kept finery, preferring to mix form with function; her clothing allows her the mobility required of someone who may find themselves in a situation that demands attack or escape, while still being presentable, and possibly suggesting to onlookers a position of power, influence or wealth. Most often, her wardrobe is Eorzean-influenced, but she will dress in Far-Eastern fashions when abroad or in private. She is never seen without a pair of bauble horn-ornaments, nor her eyepatch.

<tab name="History" style="padding: 10px; margin-left: 0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 10px; border-color:#941717; border-radius:15px; background-color: #ffffff;">



<div style="float:right; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[File:Akane4.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Deep within the mountains of rural Doma once stood a prosperous village, nestled into a quiet, wooded valley. Its name was 'Kamui Kotan'; in the old Raen tongue, supposedly, 'The Place Where Kami Live.' Since the Raen's migration from the Azim steppe, the people of Kamui Kotan lived peacefully, preferring a rather medieval way of life while the world around them grew more and more advanced. It was seldom that visitors strayed so far into the mountains, and equally rare for villagers to leave its gates for long, leaving its denizens more or less cut off from the world. Commerce was had only between the next-closest Raen village, across the mountain eastward, and with the Lupin tribe that inhabited that of the west. This was their way of life, and seldom was it disturbed.

That is, until the Garlean Empire sought land for their newest Castrum.

The destruction of Kamui Kotan was nigh imminent; however fierce and dedicated its warriors and magic-users were, they had never encountered the destructive force that was a Garlean artillery. From the moment it was decided they would not turn over their land peacefully, the Imperial forces razed the ancient, holy village, and nearly all its inhabitants with it. A small few were afforded escape into the neighboring forest -- namely, the sovereign family of Kamui Kotan, and a number of dedicated servants and guardsmen. For weeks did this group travel the forests, largely by night, toward the hills of Yanxia; finally arriving to see the land was no less ravaged by war than their own. A war they had never imagined may even exist. Eventually, after bartering their arms and armor, the survivors of Kamui Kotan found themselves aboard a vessel to Hingashi; from there, the servants and guards would depart at their Lord's behest, who used what little he could to purchase hidden passage to Eorzea for his sons and daughter.

This is how Akane Gozen arrived in the strange continent to the West. Her father's bribery found Akane and her brothers as far as Limsa Lominsa, closed up in a cramped, derelict storage shed, where the three siblings lived for several moons. Eventually, Akane's elder brothers left La Noscea, joining a supposed Doman resistance faction in Mor Dhona; Akane herself, timid and fearful of war, took instead to educating herself, soon joining the College of Arcanima in Limsa, where she discovered not only a passion, but a prodigal knack for the arcane and healing arts, as well as strategy and tactics, progressing at a rate seldom seen of even its brightest students. By the time a cycle of seasons had passed, Akane had left Limsa Lominsa to see the world for herself, discarding the blood-stained memories of her former home in the pursuit of knowledge and adventure, eventually joining the Order of the Twin Adder in Gridania.

Akane has since left the Twin Adder and joined the Anti-Garlean insurgence as a strategist, and has taken part in several of the more recent battles involving the Doman rebellion as well as the freeing of Ala Mhigo. The now twenty-five-year-old woman is no longer timid, nor afraid of warfare, and has a colder, more cynical outlook on the world since its horrors were revealed to her.

<div style="float:left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[File:Akane5.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Since returning to Eorzea from a prolonged, complicated stay in the East, Akane's life has spun into utter turmoil. She received news that her husband-to-be, in a desperate search for her, was killed by Sekiseigumi in Kugane; this plunged her mind into the depths of guilt, blaming herself for the ordeal. Most recently, Akane was able to come into posession of her beloved's soul stone, and is working toward posession of his battleaxe as well -- by whatever means she deems necessary to preserve his memory.

Hiring a small number of subordinates into her employ, Akane has begun to amass a collection of Auracite, though her purposes for such a thing remain undisclosed. She often joins her hirelings on forays into different tombs, crypts and ruins, excavating whatever artifacts and uncovering whatever knowledge worth the effort (and coin), and is seen traveling between almost all regions of Eorzea amidst her conquests.

In the streets of Kugane and Shirogane alike, there have lately been wanted posters bearing an illustration that may resemble Akane's face, albeit with both her eyes, horns intact, and differently-worn hair. While it is possible the likeness is mere coincidence, it could also be noted that Akane nolonger travels to or through Hingashi. The current bounty is 150,000 gil.

Before this could happen, however, Akane found herself amidst the chaos in Doma; unable to return as quickly as planned. Willis made for Kugane to search for his fiancee, but was driven mad by the machinations of their former employer, eventually being killed by Sekiseigumi.

<div style="float:left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px;">[[File:Akane3.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Akane stands as somewhat above-average height for an Auri woman, at about 5'6". She is slender (~130 ponze) but somewhat athletically built, denoting her newfound place on the field of battle. Her skin tone is fair, with wine-red eyes, and the signature ivory scales of her people; her hair is black and straight, hanging just below her shoulder blades. Akane's horns are forward-curving and point slightly down.

'''Scars & Markings:'''
Akane's only scars of note are most-often hidden. A large, rather gruesome scar runs along the length of her back; a glancing blow from a greatsword and failed attempt on her life. Her right eye is scarred shut, at the cost of the eye itself, but is hidden by a steel-plated eyepatch; her right horn is missing its tip, capped off by steel as well. On her left forearm she is missing a small patch of scales, where they refuse to regrow over scar tissue; possibly self-inflicted.

'''Voice:''' - Generally, Akane is soft spoken, though her tone can read as a bit cold or aloof most of the time. She speaks with a slight Doman accent, but is exceptionally fluent in Eorzean/common tongue. Her voice is perhaps somewhat deeper than her appearance might let on.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkbgCJJd5tE Voice Claim - Bae Doona]

'''Clothing:''' Akane typically dresses in neatly-kept finery, preferring to mix form with function; her clothing allows her the mobility required of someone who may find themselves in a situation that demands attack or escape, while still being presentable, and possibly suggesting to onlookers a position of power, influence or wealth. Most often, her wardrobe is Eorzean-influenced, but she will dress in Far-Eastern fashions when abroad or in private. She is never seen without a pair of bauble horn-ornaments, nor her eyepatch.

<tab name="History" style="padding: 10px; margin-left: 0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 10px; border-color:#941717; border-radius:15px; background-color: #ffffff;">



<div style="float:right; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[File:Akane4.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Deep within the mountains of rural Doma once stood a prosperous village, nestled into a quiet, wooded valley. Its name was 'Kamui Kotan'; in the old Raen tongue, supposedly, 'The Place Where Kami Live.' Since the Raen's migration from the Azim steppe, the people of Kamui Kotan lived peacefully, preferring a rather medieval way of life while the world around them grew more and more advanced. It was seldom that visitors strayed so far into the mountains, and equally rare for villagers to leave its gates for long, leaving its denizens more or less cut off from the world. Commerce was had only between the next-closest Raen village, across the mountain eastward, and with the Lupin tribe that inhabited that of the west. This was their way of life, and seldom was it disturbed.

That is, until the Garlean Empire sought land for their newest Castrum.

The destruction of Kamui Kotan was nigh imminent; however fierce and dedicated its warriors and magic-users were, they had never encountered the destructive force that was a Garlean artillery. From the moment it was decided they would not turn over their land peacefully, the Imperial forces razed the ancient, holy village, and nearly all its inhabitants with it. A small few were afforded escape into the neighboring forest -- namely, the sovereign family of Kamui Kotan, and a number of dedicated servants and guardsmen. For weeks did this group travel the forests, largely by night, toward the hills of Yanxia; finally arriving to see the land was no less ravaged by war than their own. A war they had never imagined may even exist. Eventually, after bartering their arms and armor, the survivors of Kamui Kotan found themselves aboard a vessel to Hingashi; from there, the servants and guards would depart at their Lord's behest, who used what little he could to purchase hidden passage to Eorzea for his sons and daughter.

This is how Akane Gozen arrived in the strange continent to the West. Her father's bribery found Akane and her brothers as far as Limsa Lominsa, closed up in a cramped, derelict storage shed, where the three siblings lived for several moons. Eventually, Akane's elder brothers left La Noscea, joining a supposed Doman resistance faction in Mor Dhona; Akane herself, timid and fearful of war, took instead to educating herself, soon joining the College of Arcanima in Limsa, where she discovered not only a passion, but a prodigal knack for the arcane and healing arts, as well as strategy and tactics, progressing at a rate seldom seen of even its brightest students. By the time a cycle of seasons had passed, Akane had left Limsa Lominsa to see the world for herself, discarding the blood-stained memories of her former home in the pursuit of knowledge and adventure, eventually joining the Order of the Twin Adder in Gridania.

Akane has since left the Twin Adder and joined the Anti-Garlean insurgence as a strategist, and has taken part in several of the more recent battles involving the Doman rebellion as well as the freeing of Ala Mhigo. The now twenty-five-year-old woman is no longer timid, nor afraid of warfare, and has a colder, more cynical outlook on the world since its horrors were revealed to her.

<div style="float:left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[File:Akane5.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Since returning to Eorzea from a prolonged, complicated stay in the East, Akane's life has spun into utter turmoil. She received news that her husband-to-be, in a desperate search for her, was killed by Sekiseigumi in Kugane; this plunged her mind into the depths of guilt, blaming herself for the ordeal. Most recently, Akane was able to come into posession of her beloved's soul stone, and is working toward posession of his battleaxe as well -- by whatever means she deems necessary to preserve his memory.

Hiring a small number of subordinates into her employ, Akane has begun to amass a collection of Auracite, though her purposes for such a thing remain undisclosed. She often joins her hirelings on forays into different tombs, crypts and ruins, excavating whatever artifacts and uncovering whatever knowledge worth the effort (and coin), and is seen traveling between almost all regions of Eorzea amidst her conquests.

In the streets of Kugane and Shirogane alike, there have lately been wanted posters bearing an illustration that may resemble Akane's face, albeit with both her eyes, horns intact, and differently-worn hair. While it is possible the likeness is mere coincidence, it could also be noted that Akane nolonger travels to or through Hingashi. The current bounty is 150,000 gil.

<div style="float:left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px;">[[File:Akane3.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Akane stands as somewhat above-average height for an Auri woman, at about 5'6". She is slender (~130 ponze) but somewhat athletically built, denoting her newfound place on the field of battle. Her skin tone is fair, with wine-red eyes, and the signature ivory scales of her people; her hair is black and straight, hanging just below her shoulder blades. Akane's horns are forward-curving and point slightly down.

'''Scars & Markings:'''
Akane's only scars of note are most-often hidden. A large, rather gruesome scar runs along the length of her back; a glancing blow from a greatsword and failed attempt on her life. Her right eye is scarred shut, at the cost of the eye itself, but is hidden by a steel-plated eyepatch; her right horn is missing its tip, capped off by steel as well. On her left forearm she is missing a small patch of scales, where they refuse to regrow over scar tissue; possibly self-inflicted.

'''Voice:''' - Generally, Akane is soft spoken, though her tone can read as a bit cold or aloof most of the time. She speaks with a slight Doman accent, but is exceptionally fluent in Eorzean/common tongue. Her voice is perhaps somewhat deeper than her appearance might let on.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkbgCJJd5tE Voice Claim - Bae Doona]

'''Clothing:''' Akane typically dresses in neatly-kept finery, preferring to mix form with function; her clothing allows her the mobility required of someone who may find themselves in a situation that demands attack or escape, while still being presentable, and possibly suggesting to onlookers a position of power, influence or wealth. Most often, her wardrobe is Eorzean-influenced, but she will dress in Far-Eastern fashions when abroad or in private. She is never seen without a pair of bauble horn-ornaments, nor her eyepatch.

<tab name="History" style="padding: 10px; margin-left: 0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 10px; border-color:#941717; border-radius:15px; background-color: #ffffff;">



<div style="float:right; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[File:Akane4.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Deep within the mountains of rural Doma once stood a prosperous village, nestled into a quiet, wooded valley. Its name was 'Kamui Kotan'; in the old Raen tongue, supposedly, 'The Place Where Kami Live.' Since the Raen's migration from the Azim steppe, the people of Kamui Kotan lived peacefully, preferring a rather medieval way of life while the world around them grew more and more advanced. It was seldom that visitors strayed so far into the mountains, and equally rare for villagers to leave its gates for long, leaving its denizens more or less cut off from the world. Commerce was had only between the next-closest Raen village, across the mountain eastward, and with the Lupin tribe that inhabited that of the west. This was their way of life, and seldom was it disturbed.

That is, until the Garlean Empire sought land for their newest Castrum.

The destruction of Kamui Kotan was nigh imminent; however fierce and dedicated its warriors and magic-users were, they had never encountered the destructive force that was a Garlean artillery. From the moment it was decided they would not turn over their land peacefully, the Imperial forces razed the ancient, holy village, and nearly all its inhabitants with it. A small few were afforded escape into the neighboring forest -- namely, the sovereign family of Kamui Kotan, and a number of dedicated servants and guardsmen. For weeks did this group travel the forests, largely by night, toward the hills of Yanxia; finally arriving to see the land was no less ravaged by war than their own. A war they had never imagined may even exist. Eventually, after bartering their arms and armor, the survivors of Kamui Kotan found themselves aboard a vessel to Hingashi; from there, the servants and guards would depart at their Lord's behest, who used what little he could to purchase hidden passage to Eorzea for his sons and daughter.

This is how Akane Gozen arrived in the strange continent to the West. Her father's bribery found Akane and her brothers as far as Limsa Lominsa, closed up in a cramped, derelict storage shed, where the three siblings lived for several moons. Eventually, Akane's elder brothers left La Noscea, joining a supposed Doman resistance faction in Mor Dhona; Akane herself, timid and fearful of war, took instead to educating herself, soon joining the College of Arcanima in Limsa, where she discovered not only a passion, but a prodigal knack for the arcane and healing arts, as well as strategy and tactics, progressing at a rate seldom seen of even its brightest students. By the time a cycle of seasons had passed, Akane had left Limsa Lominsa to see the world for herself, discarding the blood-stained memories of her former home in the pursuit of knowledge and adventure, eventually joining the Order of the Twin Adder in Gridania.

Akane has since left the Twin Adder and joined the Anti-Garlean insurgence as a strategist, and has taken part in several of the more recent battles involving the Doman rebellion as well as the freeing of Ala Mhigo. The now twenty-five-year-old woman is no longer timid, nor afraid of warfare, and has a colder, more cynical outlook on the world since its horrors were revealed to her.

<div style="float:left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[File:Akane5.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Since returning to Eorzea from a prolonged, complicated stay in the East, Akane's life has spun into utter turmoil. She received news that her husband-to-be, in a desperate search for her, was killed by Sekiseigumi in Kugane; this plunged her mind into the depths of guilt, blaming herself for the ordeal. Most recently, Akane was able to come into posession of her beloved's soul stone, and is working toward posession of his battleaxe as well -- by whatever means she deems necessary to preserve his memory.

Hiring a small number of subordinates into her employ, Akane has begun to amass a collection of Auracite, though her purposes for such a thing remain undisclosed. She often joins her hirelings on forays into different tombs, crypts and ruins, excavating whatever artifacts and uncovering whatever knowledge worth the effort (and coin), and is seen traveling between almost all regions of Eorzea amidst her conquests.

In the streets of Kugane and Shirogane alike, there have lately been wanted posters bearing an illustration that may resemble Akane's face, albeit with both her eyes, horns intact, and differently-worn hair. While it is possible the likeness is mere coincidence, it could also be noted that Akane nolonger travels to or through Hingashi. The current bounty is 150,000 gil.

Before this could happen, however, Akane found herself amidst the chaos in Doma; unable to return as quickly as planned. Willis made for Kugane to search for his fiancee, but was driven mad by the machinations of their former employer, eventually being killed by Sekiseigumi.

<div style="float:left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px;">[[File:Akane3.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Akane stands as somewhat above-average height for an Auri woman, at about 5'6". She is slender (~130 ponze) but somewhat athletically built, denoting her newfound place on the field of battle. Her skin tone is fair, with wine-red eyes, and the signature ivory scales of her people; her hair is black and straight, hanging just below her shoulder blades. Akane's horns are forward-curving and point slightly down.

'''Scars & Markings:'''
Akane's only scars of note are most-often hidden. A large, rather gruesome scar runs along the length of her back; a glancing blow from a greatsword and failed attempt on her life. Her right eye is scarred shut, at the cost of the eye itself, but is hidden by a steel-plated eyepatch; her right horn is missing its tip, capped off by steel as well. On her left forearm she is missing a small patch of scales, where they refuse to regrow over scar tissue; possibly self-inflicted.

'''Voice:''' - Generally, Akane is soft spoken, though her tone can read as a bit cold or aloof most of the time. She speaks with a slight Doman accent, but is exceptionally fluent in Eorzean/common tongue. Her voice is perhaps somewhat deeper than her appearance might let on.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkbgCJJd5tE Voice Claim - Bae Doona]

'''Clothing:''' Akane typically dresses in neatly-kept finery, preferring to mix form with function; her clothing allows her the mobility required of someone who may find themselves in a situation that demands attack or escape, while still being presentable, and possibly suggesting to onlookers a position of power, influence or wealth. Most often, her wardrobe is Eorzean-influenced, but she will dress in Far-Eastern fashions when abroad or in private. She is never seen without a pair of bauble horn-ornaments, nor her eyepatch.

<tab name="History" style="padding: 10px; margin-left: 0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 10px; border-color:#941717; border-radius:15px; background-color: #ffffff;">



<div style="float:right; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[File:Akane4.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Deep within the mountains of rural Doma once stood a prosperous village, nestled into a quiet, wooded valley. Its name was 'Kamui Kotan'; in the old Raen tongue, supposedly, 'The Place Where Kami Live.' Since the Raen's migration from the Azim steppe, the people of Kamui Kotan lived peacefully, preferring a rather medieval way of life while the world around them grew more and more advanced. It was seldom that visitors strayed so far into the mountains, and equally rare for villagers to leave its gates for long, leaving its denizens more or less cut off from the world. Commerce was had only between the next-closest Raen village, across the mountain eastward, and with the Lupin tribe that inhabited that of the west. This was their way of life, and seldom was it disturbed.

That is, until the Garlean Empire sought land for their newest Castrum.

The destruction of Kamui Kotan was nigh imminent; however fierce and dedicated its warriors and magic-users were, they had never encountered the destructive force that was a Garlean artillery. From the moment it was decided they would not turn over their land peacefully, the Imperial forces razed the ancient, holy village, and nearly all its inhabitants with it. A small few were afforded escape into the neighboring forest -- namely, the sovereign family of Kamui Kotan, and a number of dedicated servants and guardsmen. For weeks did this group travel the forests, largely by night, toward the hills of Yanxia; finally arriving to see the land was no less ravaged by war than their own. A war they had never imagined may even exist. Eventually, after bartering their arms and armor, the survivors of Kamui Kotan found themselves aboard a vessel to Hingashi; from there, the servants and guards would depart at their Lord's behest, who used what little he could to purchase hidden passage to Eorzea for his sons and daughter.

This is how Akane Gozen arrived in the strange continent to the West. Her father's bribery found Akane and her brothers as far as Limsa Lominsa, closed up in a cramped, derelict storage shed, where the three siblings lived for several moons. Eventually, Akane's elder brothers left La Noscea, joining a supposed Doman resistance faction in Mor Dhona; Akane herself, timid and fearful of war, took instead to educating herself, soon joining the College of Arcanima in Limsa, where she discovered not only a passion, but a prodigal knack for the arcane and healing arts, as well as strategy and tactics, progressing at a rate seldom seen of even its brightest students. By the time a cycle of seasons had passed, Akane had left Limsa Lominsa to see the world for herself, discarding the blood-stained memories of her former home in the pursuit of knowledge and adventure, eventually joining the Order of the Twin Adder in Gridania.

Akane has since left the Twin Adder and joined the Anti-Garlean insurgence as a strategist, and has taken part in several of the more recent battles involving the Doman rebellion as well as the freeing of Ala Mhigo. The now twenty-five-year-old woman is no longer timid, nor afraid of warfare, and has a colder, more cynical outlook on the world since its horrors were revealed to her.

<div style="float:left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[File:Akane5.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Since returning to Eorzea from a prolonged, complicated stay in the East, Akane's life has spun into utter turmoil. She received news that her husband-to-be, in a desperate search for her, was killed by Sekiseigumi in Kugane; this plunged her mind into the depths of guilt, blaming herself for the ordeal. Most recently, Akane was able to come into posession of her beloved's soul stone, and is working toward posession of his battleaxe as well -- by whatever means she deems necessary to preserve his memory.

Hiring a small number of subordinates into her employ, Akane has begun to amass a collection of Auracite, though her purposes for such a thing remain undisclosed. She often joins her hirelings on forays into different tombs, crypts and ruins, excavating whatever artifacts and uncovering whatever knowledge worth the effort (and coin), and is seen traveling between almost all regions of Eorzea amidst her conquests.

In the streets of Kugane and Shirogane alike, there have lately been wanted posters bearing an illustration that may resemble Akane's face, albeit with both her eyes, horns intact, and differently-worn hair. While it is possible the likeness is mere coincidence, it could also be noted that Akane nolonger travels to or through Hingashi. The current bounty is 150,000 gil.

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Akane stands as somewhat above-average height for an Auri woman, at about 5'6''. She is slender but somewhat athletically built, denoting her newfound place on the field of battle. Her skin tone is fair, with wine-red eyes, and the signature ivory scales of her people; her hair is black and straight, hanging just below her shoulder blades. Akane's horns are forward-curving and point slightly down.

'''Scars & Markings:'''
Akane's only scars of note are most-often hidden. A large, rather gruesome scar runs along the length of her back; a glancing blow from a greatsword and failed attempt on her life. Her right eye is scarred shut, at the cost of the eye itself, but is hidden by a steel-plated eyepatch; her right horn is missing its tip, capped off by steel as well. On her left forearm she is missing a small patch of scales, where they refuse to regrow over scar tissue; possibly self-inflicted.

'''Voice:''' - Generally, Akane is soft spoken, though her tone can read as a bit cold or aloof most of the time. She speaks with a slight Doman accent, but is exceptionally fluent in Eorzean/common tongue. Her voice is perhaps somewhat deeper than her appearance might let on.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkbgCJJd5tE Voice Claim - Bae Doona]

'''Clothing:''' Akane typically dresses in neatly-kept finery, preferring to mix form with function; her clothing allows her the mobility required of someone who may find themselves in a situation that demands attack or escape, while still being presentable, and possibly suggesting to onlookers a position of power, influence or wealth. Most often, her wardrobe is Eorzean-influenced, but she will dress in Far-Eastern fashions when abroad or in private. She is never seen without a pair of bauble horn-ornaments, nor her eyepatch.

<div style="float:right; margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">[[File:Akane4.png]]</div>

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">It all started when Lukas was about twelve years old. Lukas had been living in an orphanage with several other kids his age, due to the fact that his mother had died years prior and his father had been thrown in jail. The orphanage was on a farm out in Middle La Noscea, most of the other kids seemed content with the lifestyle, though there was a small group of them who had bigger dreams. For the longest, the group simply wished and dreamed of what it would be like to have a life of their own, but didn't act on it, that is until one of the older ones figured it was time to stop letting dreams stay dreams. Lukas admired the conviction the older one had, to be so sure about stepping into the unknown was inspiring to Lukas, so he helped rally up the other kids who were on the fence about the whole thing. One fateful night, this group of about seven boys ran away from the orphanage, taking clothes and food with them as they head to Limsa Lominsa to start living for themselves.

The group made their way to Limsa Lominsa and ultimately went their separate ways, the eldest of the group ended up joining the Maelstrom. Lukas was unsure of what to do at this point, he'd been in Limsa for a few days now, homeless and running low on the food he brought. Simply running away from a regular lifestyle to live a regular lifestyle of working seemed kind of pointless to the kid. So, he discovered stealing for himself and decided it was what he was destined to do. He was a small kid and could squeeze into small areas without getting noticed. Lukas would later join a gang of thieves and stick with his newfound brothers and sisters for years until the calamity came.

Once the calamity was over, most of Eorzea was in a rebuilding state and thieving became much more popular, competition was rough and plenty of times you'll always run into someone more desperate than yourself. Once Lukas became sixteen, he decided he couldn't just limit himself to Limsa any longer, so he began to travel around Eorzea, thieving where he could. He made plenty of friends and plenty of enemies. He fell in love with the skies upon his first time in an airship and decided his goal would be to own one of his own someday. After some unfortunate luck, Lukas managed to get his hands on an airship.

Now, Lukas is twenty-five and a Sky Pirate, though depending who is around him, he may introduce himself as a simple Treasure Hunter or Merchant, sounds more legal that way.

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Upon assisting Rayla with her revenge against the men who killed her husband. The mission itself was a success, the crew with newfound downtime went to take care of personal errands.

Lukas was commissioned by a shop owner in Kugane to retrieve a legendary sword that had been sealed away in a cave off in Yanxia. The man was offering Lukas a generous fifty thousand gil. Lukas of course took the case and made the trip, he hauled a small one-seater airship across the seas to Hingashi and made his way to Yanxia. He ventured deep into the cave and found the very sword he was searching for, only to run into a small group of Garlean Soldiers who had come for the very same sword.

The soldiers demanded that it was a gift for Zenos, however Lukas wasn't about to just hand it over. Luckily he carried a few smoke grenades on him and managed to escape the Garleans without having to engage in serious combat. Upon returning to Kugane, Lukas met with the shop owner and just as the deal seemed to seal, Lukas decided to see if he could squeeze a little extra money out of the man by mentioning that Garleans wanted to take it and give it to Zenos. Upon hearing the name Zenos, the shop owner quickly backed out of the deal and shooed Lukas out of the shop. So now Lukas is stuck with a "legendary" sword that nobody wants to buy.

'''Akane Gozen''' (Doman, 御前あかね) (12th sun of 2nd Umbral Moon (April 11th)) is an Au Ra Raen born in an isolated Doman village known as Aohama (あおい浜). When the kingdom of Doma revolted against Imperial rule, Akane's village was lost in a retaliative strike, forcing her and her family to flee across the sea. Under the guise of a Thavnairian trade barge, Akane and her family sought refuge in La Noscea, where many moons were spent in hiding before a public presence was deemed acceptable. Where her brothers and father would relocate to Mor Dhona to join forces with other Doman resistance members, Akane stayed in Limsa Lominsa under the wishes of her family, where it was decided she would be safest.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
: Standing tall for a Raen female, with cropped black hair, and deep, wine-red eyes, Akane is a less-than-imposing figure, coupled by a soft voice and subtle features. She is most often seen dressed in black or gray, possibly to signify a state of mourning, preferring well-tailored blouses, skirts, and leggings. Typically, Akane will be found in modern Eorzean attire, preferring not to stick out, but is apt to don more traditional Doman garb while at home or in relaxed, intimate settings.

: Because of her status as a refugee, Akane's social skills are still developing; her moons in hiding, however, were not ill-spent, as she studied the speech and mannerisms of La Noscean locals whenever afforded the chance. While extremely polite, her manner of speech can border on archaic or overly-formal, and many jokes and innuendos may go right over her head, and at time she has a hard time expressing her thoughts in the common tongue. Physically, her posture and demeanor can come across as demure or passive, her facial expressions mostly neutral unless engaged. In social scenarios, Akane is oft found off to the side, opting to observe rather than insert herself into conversation; contrarily, when her opinion is asked for, or deemed valuable (whether by herself or others), Akane will put great effort into getting her point across, her opinions not easily swayed.

: Despite her social shortcomings, Akane has proven to be of above-average intelligence, with an astute memory and grasp for magical theorems and military tactics alike. When a subject manages to pique her interest, one will quickly find the Raen delving into as thorough research on it as she's able to manage.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Early Life/Childhood</div>=====

:: Akane was born at daybreak to the village chieftain in her home of Aohama, a lake-side village nestled between two large mountains. Life for the young Raen was peacefully routine; she was raised by tutors, nursemaids, and myriad women of the village to breed a proper, noble daughter of the Sun. A child with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Akane was a bit of a black sheep in contrast to her family; the Gozen clan was known, by and large, for its prodigal swordsmen and spearwomen, whereas the lass had no natural aptitude for the martial arts; even the most talented teachers availed to her could wring nary a drop of talent in the way of weapons from young Akane. Deemed a lost cause in the disciplines of war, Akane was instead kept to the household, learning domestic tasks such as tea ceremony, music, and rhetoric. While she never developed a bond with her father, Akane did share a close relationship with her mother, to whom she was regarded in many ways as a mirror image.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Adolescence</div>=====

:: By the time she was twelve, a Garlean military outpost was erected only a few malms from Akane's village. While she had seen the imperials many times growing up, she had never considered the gravity of being in such close proximity -- to them, nor their giant, fantastic machines. Unrest grew within the once-solitary village, and soon enough Akane's father called for a tall, wooden wall to be build around Aohama's perimeter.

:: It was nary a year later that Akane's ascent to 'womanhood' began, culminating with marriage arrangements (much to her protest), and training in the arts of physick and conjury alike, that she might prove some use on the field of battle, despite her lack of martial prowess. For the first time, in the eyes of her family, Akane was revealed to possess a penchant for something 'useful', picking up the finer points of healing magic with the finesse of a born natural.

:: At the tender age of sixteen, Akane was crippled by the loss of her mother, who was stricken by a mysterious bout of Aether poisoning. From then on, the young Raen became a shut-in, confining herself to her quarters most all hours of the day, keeping to her books rather than face the reality that lie beyond her doors. Her prospective marriage with the eldest son of Midorikawa, a village across the mountains, was called off, and plans were set into motion for Akane to transition her status to that of a shrine maiden, at the village temple to the Dawn Father.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Arrival in Eorzea/Present Day</div>====

:: Once Akane had relocated to Limsa Lominsa, following several moons in a cramped safehouse, she quickly enrolled in the college of Arcanima, as a member of the Arcanist's Guild. Regarded by her instructors and peers alike as a fast learner, she was awarded soon enough with a certificate of competency, and took to more independant studies, including that of South Seas arcana, Nymean military tactics, and aether as a whole. However, with only a stipend granted by her father to live off of, Akane soon found her gil reserves dwindling, and began looking into work at the local Adventurer's Guild.

:: Her travels brought her soon enough to Ul'Dah, where by chance she made acquaintance with the likes of Lukas Madrazo, a treasure hunter, and N'aomi Kett, leader of the Outriders free company. Finding herself quickly within the company's ranks, Akane began to form bonds with many of its members, her more solitary habits being replaced with those of a trusting, care-free scholarly sort. However, as her social palate grew, so too did her unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and her studies soon found her in such farflung places as Ishgard, Coerthas, and even Dravania, where her prowess would expand to a novicehood in the arts of Sharlayan astrology.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Recent Developments (Constant WIP)</div>====

:: During a foray into the Dravanian wilderness, researching the aetheric air-currents present there, Akane chanced upon an austere artifact, the uncovering of which seemed to (by her own warped recollection) spirit her away to some arcane chamber of ancient design, where she would be trapped for over two moons, her only company an innumerable score of cognisant, 'living' tomes. While taking no small blow to her mental state, Akane was eventually able to gather enough self-generated aether to perform the teleportation spell necessary for her escape. She has since been unable to rediscover the location of this aether-chamber.

:: Akane's endless studies and research have proven still to be a financial damper, and to accomodate them she has taken up the mantle of hostess, finding employment under director West O'hteco of the Crescent Nightclub, in the Goblet.

While the two are as different as night and day, there are few people whom Akane would trust as closely as Luna, whether it be her feelings or her safety. The two met as fledgling members of the Outriders, assigned as partners on their first mission -- which they failed, but were given commendation for their teamwork and intuitive skills. They are both members of the treasure hunting squad, Team Red.

N'aomi quickly offered Akane an opportunity to work when she learned of the Au Ra's previous situation, and since then the two have kept an open, trusting, and professional relationship. Akane knows that if anyone would rush to her aid, without question, it would be N'aomi -- with a small army of Outriders at her side.

'''Akane Gozen''' (Doman, 御前あかね) (12th sun of 2nd Umbral Moon (April 11th)) is an Au Ra Raen born in an isolated Doman village known as Aohama (あおい浜). When the kingdom of Doma revolted against Imperial rule, Akane's village was lost in a retaliative strike, forcing her and her family to flee across the sea. Under the guise of a Thavnairian trade barge, Akane and her family sought refuge in La Noscea, where many moons were spent in hiding before a public presence was deemed acceptable. Where her brothers and father would relocate to Mor Dhona to join forces with other Doman resistance members, Akane stayed in Limsa Lominsa under the wishes of her family, where it was decided she would be safest.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
: Standing tall for a Raen female, with cropped black hair, and deep, wine-red eyes, Akane is a less-than-imposing figure, coupled by a soft voice and subtle features. She is most often seen dressed in black or gray, possibly to signify a state of mourning, preferring well-tailored blouses, skirts, and leggings. Typically, Akane will be found in modern Eorzean attire, preferring not to stick out, but is apt to don more traditional Doman garb while at home or in relaxed, intimate settings.

: Because of her status as a refugee, Akane's social skills are still developing; her moons in hiding, however, were not ill-spent, as she studied the speech and mannerisms of La Noscean locals whenever afforded the chance. While extremely polite, her manner of speech can border on archaic or overly-formal, and many jokes and innuendos may go right over her head, and at time she has a hard time expressing her thoughts in the common tongue. Physically, her posture and demeanor can come across as demure or passive, her facial expressions mostly neutral unless engaged. In social scenarios, Akane is oft found off to the side, opting to observe rather than insert herself into conversation; contrarily, when her opinion is asked for, or deemed valuable (whether by herself or others), Akane will put great effort into getting her point across, her opinions not easily swayed.

: Despite her social shortcomings, Akane has proven to be of above-average intelligence, with an astute memory and grasp for magical theorems and military tactics alike. When a subject manages to pique her interest, one will quickly find the Raen delving into as thorough research on it as she's able to manage.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Early Life/Childhood</div>=====

:: Akane was born at daybreak to the village chieftain in her home of Aohama, a lake-side village nestled between two large mountains. Life for the young Raen was peacefully routine; she was raised by tutors, nursemaids, and myriad women of the village to breed a proper, noble daughter of the Sun. A child with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Akane was a bit of a black sheep in contrast to her family; the Gozen clan was known, by and large, for its prodigal swordsmen and spearwomen, whereas the lass had no natural aptitude for the martial arts; even the most talented teachers availed to her could wring nary a drop of talent in the way of weapons from young Akane. Deemed a lost cause in the disciplines of war, Akane was instead kept to the household, learning domestic tasks such as tea ceremony, music, and rhetoric. While she never developed a bond with her father, Akane did share a close relationship with her mother, to whom she was regarded in many ways as a mirror image.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Adolescence</div>=====

:: By the time she was twelve, a Garlean military outpost was erected only a few malms from Akane's village. While she had seen the imperials many times growing up, she had never considered the gravity of being in such close proximity -- to them, nor their giant, fantastic machines. Unrest grew within the once-solitary village, and soon enough Akane's father called for a tall, wooden wall to be build around Aohama's perimeter.

:: It was nary a year later that Akane's ascent to 'womanhood' began, culminating with marriage arrangements (much to her protest), and training in the arts of physick and conjury alike, that she might prove some use on the field of battle, despite her lack of martial prowess. For the first time, in the eyes of her family, Akane was revealed to possess a penchant for something 'useful', picking up the finer points of healing magic with the finesse of a born natural.

:: At the tender age of sixteen, Akane was crippled by the loss of her mother, who was stricken by a mysterious bout of Aether poisoning. From then on, the young Raen became a shut-in, confining herself to her quarters most all hours of the day, keeping to her books rather than face the reality that lie beyond her doors. Her prospective marriage with the eldest son of Midorikawa, a village across the mountains, was called off, and plans were set into motion for Akane to transition her status to that of a shrine maiden, at the village temple to the Dawn Father.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Arrival in Eorzea/Present Day</div>====

:: Once Akane had relocated to Limsa Lominsa, following several moons in a cramped safehouse, she quickly enrolled in the college of Arcanima, as a member of the Arcanist's Guild. Regarded by her instructors and peers alike as a fast learner, she was awarded soon enough with a certificate of competency, and took to more independant studies, including that of South Seas arcana, Nymean military tactics, and aether as a whole. However, with only a stipend granted by her father to live off of, Akane soon found her gil reserves dwindling, and began looking into work at the local Adventurer's Guild.

:: Her travels brought her soon enough to Ul'Dah, where by chance she made acquaintance with the likes of Lukas Madrazo, a treasure hunter, and N'aomi Kett, leader of the Outriders free company. Finding herself quickly within the company's ranks, Akane began to form bonds with many of its members, her more solitary habits being replaced with those of a trusting, care-free scholarly sort. However, as her social palate grew, so too did her unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and her studies soon found her in such farflung places as Ishgard, Coerthas, and even Dravania, where her prowess would expand to a novicehood in the arts of Sharlayan astrology.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Recent Developments (Constant WIP)</div>====

:: During a foray into the Dravanian wilderness, researching the aetheric air-currents present there, Akane chanced upon an austere artifact, the uncovering of which seemed to (by her own warped recollection) spirit her away to some arcane chamber of ancient design, where she would be trapped for over two moons, her only company an innumerable score of cognisant, 'living' tomes. While taking no small blow to her mental state, Akane was eventually able to gather enough self-generated aether to perform the teleportation spell necessary for her escape. She has since been unable to rediscover the location of this aether-chamber.

:: Akane's endless studies and research have proven still to be a financial damper, and to accomodate them she has taken up the mantle of hostess, finding employment under director West O'hteco of the Crescent Nightclub, in the Goblet.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
: Standing tall for a Raen female, with cropped black hair, and deep, wine-red eyes, Akane is a less-than-imposing figure, coupled by a soft voice and subtle features. She is most often seen dressed in black or gray, possibly to signify a state of mourning, preferring well-tailored blouses, skirts, and leggings. Typically, Akane will be found in modern Eorzean attire, preferring not to stick out, but is apt to don more traditional Doman garb while at home or in relaxed, intimate settings.

: Because of her status as a refugee, Akane's social skills are still developing; her moons in hiding, however, were not ill-spent, as she studied the speech and mannerisms of La Noscean locals whenever afforded the chance. While extremely polite, her manner of speech can border on archaic or overly-formal, and many jokes and innuendos may go right over her head, and at time she has a hard time expressing her thoughts in the common tongue. Physically, her posture and demeanor can come across as demure or passive, her facial expressions mostly neutral unless engaged. In social scenarios, Akane is oft found off to the side, opting to observe rather than insert herself into conversation; contrarily, when her opinion is asked for, or deemed valuable (whether by herself or others), Akane will put great effort into getting her point across, her opinions not easily swayed.

: Despite her social shortcomings, Akane has proven to be of above-average intelligence, with an astute memory and grasp for magical theorems and military tactics alike. When a subject manages to pique her interest, one will quickly find the Raen delving into as thorough research on it as she's able to manage.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Early Life/Childhood</div>=====

:: Akane was born at daybreak to the village chieftain in her home of Aohama, a lake-side village nestled between two large mountains. Life for the young Raen was peacefully routine; she was raised by tutors, nursemaids, and myriad women of the village to breed a proper, noble daughter of the Sun. A child with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Akane was a bit of a black sheep in contrast to her family; the Gozen clan was known, by and large, for its prodigal swordsmen and spearwomen, whereas the lass had no natural aptitude for the martial arts; even the most talented teachers availed to her could wring nary a drop of talent in the way of weapons from young Akane. Deemed a lost cause in the disciplines of war, Akane was instead kept to the household, learning domestic tasks such as tea ceremony, music, and rhetoric. While she never developed a bond with her father, Akane did share a close relationship with her mother, to whom she was regarded in many ways as a mirror image.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Adolescence</div>=====

:: By the time she was twelve, a Garlean military outpost was erected only a few malms from Akane's village. While she had seen the imperials many times growing up, she had never considered the gravity of being in such close proximity -- to them, nor their giant, fantastic machines. Unrest grew within the once-solitary village, and soon enough Akane's father called for a tall, wooden wall to be build around Aohama's perimeter.

:: It was nary a year later that Akane's ascent to 'womanhood' began, culminating with marriage arrangements (much to her protest), and training in the arts of physick and conjury alike, that she might prove some use on the field of battle, despite her lack of martial prowess. For the first time, in the eyes of her family, Akane was revealed to possess a penchant for something 'useful', picking up the finer points of healing magic with the finesse of a born natural.

:: At the tender age of sixteen, Akane was crippled by the loss of her mother, who was stricken by a mysterious bout of Aether poisoning. From then on, the young Raen became a shut-in, confining herself to her quarters most all hours of the day, keeping to her books rather than face the reality that lie beyond her doors. Her prospective marriage with the eldest son of Midorikawa, a village across the mountains, was called off, and plans were set into motion for Akane to transition her status to that of a shrine maiden, at the village temple to the Dawn Father.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Arrival in Eorzea/Present Day</div>====

:: Once Akane had relocated to Limsa Lominsa, following several moons in a cramped safehouse, she quickly enrolled in the college of Arcanima, as a member of the Arcanist's Guild. Regarded by her instructors and peers alike as a fast learner, she was awarded soon enough with a certificate of competency, and took to more independant studies, including that of South Seas arcana, Nymean military tactics, and aether as a whole. However, with only a stipend granted by her father to live off of, Akane soon found her gil reserves dwindling, and began looking into work at the local Adventurer's Guild.

:: Her travels brought her soon enough to Ul'Dah, where by chance she made acquaintance with the likes of Lukas Madrazo, a treasure hunter, and N'aomi Kett, leader of the Outriders free company. Finding herself quickly within the company's ranks, Akane began to form bonds with many of its members, her more solitary habits being replaced with those of a trusting, care-free scholarly sort. However, as her social palate grew, so too did her unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and her studies soon found her in such farflung places as Ishgard, Coerthas, and even Dravania, where her prowess would expand to a novicehood in the arts of Sharlayan astrology.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Recent Developments (Constant WIP)</div>====

:: During a foray into the Dravanian wilderness, researching the aetheric air-currents present there, Akane chanced upon an austere artifact, the uncovering of which seemed to (by her own warped recollection) spirit her away to some arcane chamber of ancient design, where she would be trapped for over two moons, her only company an innumerable score of cognisant, 'living' tomes. While taking no small blow to her mental state, Akane was eventually able to gather enough self-generated aether to perform the teleportation spell necessary for her escape. She has since been unable to rediscover the location of this aether-chamber.

:: Akane's endless studies and research have proven still to be a financial damper, and to accomodate them she has taken up the mantle of hostess, finding employment under director West O'hteco of the Crescent Nightclub, in the Goblet.

'''Akane Gozen''' (Doman, 御前あかね) (12th sun of 2nd Umbral Moon (April 11th)) is an Au Ra Raen born in an isolated Doman village known as Aohama (あおい浜). When the kingdom of Doma revolted against Imperial rule, Akane's village was lost in a retaliative strike, forcing her and her family to flee across the sea. Under the guise of a Thavnairian trade barge, Akane and her family sought refuge in La Noscea, where many moons were spent in hiding before a public presence was deemed acceptable. Where her brothers and father would relocate to Mor Dhona to join forces with other Doman resistance members, Akane stayed in Limsa Lominsa under the wishes of her family, where it was decided she would be safest.

Akane looks up to N'aomi as someone who, despite her young age and marginal lack of experience, manages to keep both a leveled head and positive outlook on her life and work alike. N'aomi quickly offered Akane an opportunity to work when she learned of the Au Ra's previous situation, and since then the two have kept an open, trusting, and professional relationship. Akane knows that if anyone would rush to her aid, without question, it would be N'aomi -- with a small army of Outriders at her side.

'''Akane Gozen''' (Doman, 御前あかね) (12th sun of 2nd Umbral Moon (April 11th)) is an Au Ra Raen born in an isolated Doman village known as Aohama (あおい浜). When the kingdom of Doma revolted against Imperial rule, Akane's village was lost in a retaliative strike, forcing her and her family to flee across the sea. Under the guise of a Thavnairian trade barge, Akane and her family sought refuge in La Noscea, where many moons were spent in hiding before a public presence was deemed acceptable. Where her brothers and father would relocate to Mor Dhona to join forces with other Doman resistance members, Akane stayed in Limsa Lominsa under the wishes of her family, where it was decided she would be safest.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
: Standing tall for a Raen female, with cropped black hair, and deep, wine-red eyes, Akane is a less-than-imposing figure, coupled by a soft voice and subtle features. She is most often seen dressed in black or gray, possibly to signify a state of mourning, preferring well-tailored blouses, skirts, and leggings. Typically, Akane will be found in modern Eorzean attire, preferring not to stick out, but is apt to don more traditional Doman garb while at home or in relaxed, intimate settings.

: Because of her status as a refugee, Akane's social skills are still developing; her moons in hiding, however, were not ill-spent, as she studied the speech and mannerisms of La Noscean locals whenever afforded the chance. While extremely polite, her manner of speech can border on archaic or overly-formal, and many jokes and innuendos may go right over her head, and at time she has a hard time expressing her thoughts in the common tongue. Physically, her posture and demeanor can come across as demure or passive, her facial expressions mostly neutral unless engaged. In social scenarios, Akane is oft found off to the side, opting to observe rather than insert herself into conversation; contrarily, when her opinion is asked for, or deemed valuable (whether by herself or others), Akane will put great effort into getting her point across, her opinions not easily swayed.

: Despite her social shortcomings, Akane has proven to be of above-average intelligence, with an astute memory and grasp for magical theorems and military tactics alike. When a subject manages to pique her interest, one will quickly find the Raen delving into as thorough research on it as she's able to manage.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Early Life/Childhood</div>=====

:: Akane was born at daybreak to the village chieftain in her home of Aohama, a lake-side village nestled between two large mountains. Life for the young Raen was peacefully routine; she was raised by tutors, nursemaids, and myriad women of the village to breed a proper, noble daughter of the Sun. A child with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Akane was a bit of a black sheep in contrast to her family; the Gozen clan was known, by and large, for its prodigal swordsmen and spearwomen, whereas the lass had no natural aptitude for the martial arts; even the most talented teachers availed to her could wring nary a drop of talent in the way of weapons from young Akane. Deemed a lost cause in the disciplines of war, Akane was instead kept to the household, learning domestic tasks such as tea ceremony, music, and rhetoric. While she never developed a bond with her father, Akane did share a close relationship with her mother, to whom she was regarded in many ways as a mirror image.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Adolescence</div>=====

:: By the time she was twelve, a Garlean military outpost was erected only a few malms from Akane's village. While she had seen the imperials many times growing up, she had never considered the gravity of being in such close proximity -- to them, nor their giant, fantastic machines. Unrest grew within the once-solitary village, and soon enough Akane's father called for a tall, wooden wall to be build around Aohama's perimeter.

:: It was nary a year later that Akane's ascent to 'womanhood' began, culminating with marriage arrangements (much to her protest), and training in the arts of physick and conjury alike, that she might prove some use on the field of battle, despite her lack of martial prowess. For the first time, in the eyes of her family, Akane was revealed to possess a penchant for something 'useful', picking up the finer points of healing magic with the finesse of a born natural.

:: At the tender age of sixteen, Akane was crippled by the loss of her mother, who was stricken by a mysterious bout of Aether poisoning. From then on, the young Raen became a shut-in, confining herself to her quarters most all hours of the day, keeping to her books rather than face the reality that lie beyond her doors. Her prospective marriage with the eldest son of Midorikawa, a village across the mountains, was called off, and plans were set into motion for Akane to transition her status to that of a shrine maiden, at the village temple to the Dawn Father.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Arrival in Eorzea/Present Day</div>====

:: Once Akane had relocated to Limsa Lominsa, following several moons in a cramped safehouse, she quickly enrolled in the college of Arcanima, as a member of the Arcanist's Guild. Regarded by her instructors and peers alike as a fast learner, she was awarded soon enough with a certificate of competency, and took to more independant studies, including that of South Seas arcana, Nymean military tactics, and aether as a whole. However, with only a stipend granted by her father to live off of, Akane soon found her gil reserves dwindling, and began looking into work at the local Adventurer's Guild.

:: Her travels brought her soon enough to Ul'Dah, where by chance she made acquaintance with the likes of Lukas Madrazo, a treasure hunter, and N'aomi Kett, leader of the Outriders free company. Finding herself quickly within the company's ranks, Akane began to form bonds with many of its members, her more solitary habits being replaced with those of a trusting, care-free scholarly sort. However, as her social palate grew, so too did her unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and her studies soon found her in such farflung places as Ishgard, Coerthas, and even Dravania, where her prowess would expand to a novicehood in the arts of Sharlayan astrology.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Recent Developments (Constant WIP)</div>====

:: During a foray into the Dravanian wilderness, researching the aetheric air-currents present there, Akane chanced upon an austere artifact, the uncovering of which seemed to (by her own warped recollection) spirit her away to some arcane chamber of ancient design, where she would be trapped for over two moons, her only company an innumerable score of cognisant, 'living' tomes. While taking no small blow to her mental state, Akane was eventually able to gather enough self-generated aether to perform the teleportation spell necessary for her escape. She has since been unable to rediscover the location of this aether-chamber.

:: Akane's endless studies and research have proven still to be a financial damper, and to accomodate them she has taken up the mantle of hostess, finding employment under director West O'hteco of the Crescent Nightclub, in the Goblet.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Luna Quinn]] : The first friend Akane made since coming to Eorzea. While the two are as different as night and day, there are few people whom Akane would trust as closely as Luna, whether it be her feelings or her safety. The two met as fledgling members of the Outriders, assigned as partners on their first mission -- which they failed, but were given commendation for their teamwork and intuitive skills. They are both members of the treasure hunting squad, Team Red.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Lukas Madrazo]] : Leader of Team Red, a ragtag bunch of treasure hunters, Akane regards Lukas as an anomaly of sorts; a lecher in his own right, she has also seen a more sensitive, almost gentlemanly side to the rogueish miqo'te. However, she seems to take comfort in knowing the two remain close friends, lacking the sureness and confidence to pursue anything further... and having her doubts as far as Lukas's fidelity.
