'''L'yhta Mahre''' (LEE-tah MAH-ray), formally known as '''Yhta of the Vipers, sired by L'mahre Nunh''' and commonly as '''Lyta''' (lie-TUH), is a miqo'te Seeker of the Sun who nominally lives in Limsa Lominsa. She was once the Voice of [http://www.themysterium.org Mysterium], but is now just one of its Masters. Her formal address in the Ivory Tower is Wizard Yhta Mahre, Master of Mysterium, Thaumaturge, Conjurer, Arcanist, Astromancer; by Aether illuminated, Beacon of Hope.

==Appearance==
L'yhta is a tall (approximately 5' 5") miqo'te female with dark skin and long dark purple hair that she keeps tied back out of her face. She has bright, almost iridescent heliotrope eyes with the usual slits of her clan. Her tail is quite long for a Seeker of the Sun and, like her ears, often expressive. Her build is thin and gangly; she's not particularly shapely, though she has lately put on a bit of wiry muscle. Her face has the markings inherent to some of the Seekers of the Sun -- three on each side in an tiger stripe pattern. L'yhta's voice is an untrained [[Wikipedia:Mezzo-soprano#Dramatic|dramatic mezzo-soprano]], fairly low for someone her size. She doesn't exhibit much of an accent, if any, when she speaks, except perhaps when she's particularly inebriated.

As of late, L'yhta's begun dying her hair and tail regularly, as well as changing her hair style seemingly at a whim. This began after she took a "sabbatical" to Greencliff around the time of the Starlight Celebration in the 5th year of the Seventh Umbral Era; exactly why that prompted her to take such a whimsical, impulsive approach to her hair has yet to be disclosed.

==History==
[[Image:L'yhta Mahre by Emadra.JPG|300px|left|thumb|L'yhta, envisioned by '''Emadra''']]
In western La Noscea resides the small fishing village of Greencliff, named for its high cliffs and its relatively dense, yet small, nearby forest. The village was originally home to a small population of Sea Wolves, but they found themselves outnumbered by an influx of Seekers of the Sun approximately 95 years ago when L'sharhl Nunh established the area as hunting grounds for the Viper tribe and assumed the title of nunh there. As the miqo'te made their homes in the area and largely shifted to an agricultural and aquacultural lifestyle, the Roegadyn population slowly decreased, eventually leaving the village almost entirely to the newcomers. It was into this settled branch of the Vipers that L'yhta was born, the fifth child of L'arhi Xahlo and L'mahre Nunh.

L'yhta's early life was unremarkable; she had no especially outstanding characteristics other than a quick wit and a keen mind -- neither of which were particularly impressive, much less useful, in a village used to eking out a living through fishing and the occasional felling of lumber to fuel [[Limsa Lominsa]]'s demand for ships. As far as the other miqo'te of Greencliff were concerned, what was remarkable about L'yhta was exactly how unremarkable she was. The tall girl proved to be passable with an axe, vaguely competent with the spear, moderately capable of catching fish, and not especially attractive, either. This surprised those who expected great things of the children of L'mahre Nunh and L'arhi Xahlo. L'mahre was considered by most to be one of the branch's greater nunh; his physical strength and virility were highly praised. L'arhi, for her part, had borne seven children, an impressive number by any standards. The only son she bore him, L'rhilo Tia, was held as a pure example of miqo'te excellence. With gleaming golden hair, dashing features, lightning reflexes, and sparkling silver and gold heterochromic eyes, he was already beginning to turn the heads of the women of the tribe and sparking rumours that he'd prove to be the next nunh. L'yhta's sisters were equally fine specimens: tall, beautiful, and possessed of a nearly regal grace. By contrast, the lanky, average L'yhta was quite a disappointment. Nevertheless, L'arhi remained supportive, hoping that her fifth child would find ''something'' at which she'd be more than just minimally competent, even if that were simply bearing children to the nunh. For her part, the often isolated L'yhta spent a great deal of time staring out into the stars and across the sea and wondering if her destiny were always to be so painfully mundane.

Then, the Calamity changed everything. Bahamut's fire scourged the land, and amidst the chaos, L'mahre Nunh was struck by a shower of superheated shards of rock. While he survived, he lost a leg and an arm in the attack. Unwilling to see someone else lay his father low, L'rhilo Tia challenged him for the position of nunh. The fight was short; it took mere moments for the son to defeat the father. The tribe looked on as L'rhilo, hovering over the fallen nunh, exchanged brief whispered words with him -- then tore out his throat. To this day, no one knows exactly what L'mahre said to L'rhilo; some suggest the father asked his son to end his suffering, while others whisper that the once nunh begged for mercy and L'rhilo killed him anyway. Regardless of the truth, L'rhilo Tia became L'rhilo Nunh that day, and he celebrated the victory that night with some of the most beautiful women of the tribe.

It wasn't long after he ascended to the position of nunh that L'rhilo came to L'yhta to ask her to his bed. While it wasn't unexpected that he'd attempt to carry on the impressive lineage of his mother and father, what surprised everyone (especially L'yhta) was when he passed over her elder sisters in favor of a lanky 16 year old. L'yhta doesn't discuss what exactly he said to her, other than that he made it abundantly clear that he expected her to do her duty to the tribe and bear his children. What the whole tribe knows is what happened next: when the sun rose the next day, L'yhta was gone.

To this day, L'yhta isn't entirely sure what prompted her to flee her fate. She would like to believe it was her wanderlust and curiosity pulling her away from a fettered life, but it was more likely due to the arrogant, lascivious, and forceful insistence of someone she'd previously trusted and saw as a friend. Rather than acquiesce, L'yhta collected some food, a spare set of clothes, and some small carved shells and pearls given to her by her mother, then headed south towards the only landmark she knew: a large lighthouse. It was there that she was able to trade the pearls for gil, then use the gil to travel to Limsa Lominsa to start a new life.

L'yhta was naturally overwhelmed by Limsa Lominsa when she first arrived. What struck her most of all was the way the miqo'te there acted. They were overly cheerful, extremely outgoing, and entirely willing to use their bodies to their advantage (and sometimes profit). Unwilling to take up any of the "trades" that were not so gently suggested to her by the city's more salty inhabitants, L'yhta instead wandered the city, using the last of her gil to secure lodging while she tried to figure out her next step. It was during one of these walks that she quite literally ran into Robert Fletcher, an antiquated hyur with piercing green eyes and an explosion of white hair bursting from his head. Little did she know that this man was a powerful Thaumaturge and also the Voice of the Wizards' Choir; she also wasn't aware that he'd been watching her, intrigued by a Seeker of the Sun without a purpose but a gift for the arcane. Robert took her in and introduced her to the three disciplines of magic, and was pleased to see her quickly learn to command her own Aether as well as to call upon that of the land. For her part, L'yhta was both shocked and ecstatic that she'd finally found something that she wouldn't make a fool of herself at -- something where her skill would live up to the name of her father. As part of her training, Robert introduced her to the rituals of the Choir and inducted her as his apprentice.

For the next four years, L'yhta lived with Robert, who she viewed as a quirky grandfather, and trained under him and the five other superannuated Chairs of the Choir. She came to love her strange new family of aging spellcasters, and they, while they could be annoyed by her youthful enthusiasm, cared for her as an adpoted child. Sadly, this life wouldn't last for long. In year 5 of the seventh umbral era, the Choir was requested by the Foreign Levy to help defend the city against a Sahagin assault. Ultimately, the Maelstrom won the battle, but at a terrible cost -- all of the Choir's members were struck down save L'yhta, who Robert insisted stay behind the lines. When she rushed to her mentor's side, his last words stuck in her memory: ''"Sing with a new Choir, young Voice."''

Since she's continued her training within the various magical guilds of Eorzea, L'yhta has discovered that she possesses the Echo. She theorizes this might be why she has such a faculty for channeling Aether, though more importantly, she's ''quite sure'' this means that she has a great destiny she needs to fulfill.

==Personality==
[[Image:Lyhta-levecard.jpg|200px|left|A guildleve card for L'yhta, by '''Nahue''']]
L'yhta is typical of many Seekers of the Sun in that she can be impulsive and tends to speak her mind; like her brethren, she shows her emotions readily, which often makes her seem more flighty and impulsive than she actually is. She's somewhat naïve, tending to believe that people are usually good, that evil is always apparent and obvious, and that everyone wants to hear and see truth spoken to power. It helps that she has a sharp wit and a constant enthusiasm, though this latter trait sometimes grates on others' nerves. At times, she can be self-centered, petulant, and altogether childish, especially when her naivete about the world is challenged, when something stands between her and her goals, when she makes what she perceives to be a mistake, or when she feels like she's lost control of a situation. When her friends are threatened -- or when she ''perceives'' that they're being threatened or have been wronged by the forces of "Evil and Awful" -- she can be stubbornly dismissive and brutally violent and tends not to react well if asked to stay her hand, turning her ire on those same friends instead. In general, L'yhta is quite open about her feelings; if she likes you, you'll know it, and if she doesn't like you or is angry with you, she'll make ''sure'' you know that. Subtlety and deception aren't typically part of her repertoire.

L'yhta is also known to put on a bit of a haughty air when discussions of race come up. To L'yhta, miqo'te who fall into the "cute, sexy cat" stereotype -- "domesticated kittens," as she calls them -- are denigrating their whole race and contributing to the hypersexualization of miqo'te women. She also holds the other races with a degree of contempt for supporting this behavior by employing miqo'te as dancers and prostitutes. However, L'yhta also holds no love for tribal miqo'te, who she feels are limiting themselves and their race in addition to participating in what she now considers a barbaric system of mating. Her time in Limsa Lominsa has given her a strong desire for freedom and a respect for the dual virtues of self-sufficiency and teamwork, and the incompatibility of these with tribal miqo'te culture is part of why she holds it in such contempt.

Generally, L'yhta is fairly reserved in large social gatherings where she doesn't know most of the people there. She tends to keep to herself, away from the crowd. If approached, she's her usual gregarious, talkative self, but she doesn't seek out interactions (unless she happens to notice something that captures her eye, such as a Nymian relic or new spell). In bars in and around Limsa Lominsa, this tends to cause a fair number of rumours about "t'at mage drownin' 'er sorrows at th' end of th' bar." As she doesn't particularly enjoy "people-watching," she typically shies away from particularly raucous taverns unless brought there by someone she knows or they're one of her usual haunts (such as the Missing Member).

Like a young college student, L'yhta believes she's figured the world out thanks to her newfound knowledge and experience, and this has driven her to arrogantly make rash, ill-advised decisions. In general, though, L'yhta's motivated to help others and make the world a better place, even if lately she's taken on a rather significant anti-authoritarian streak. In D&D terms, her alignment is '''Chaotic Good'''. In Palladium terms, she's closest to '''Unprincipled''' these days (though she has some disturbingly '''Aberrant''' behaviors).

==Affiliations and Known Associates==
L'yhta is a citizen of Limsa Lominsa and a member of the Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom; technically speaking, she holds the rank of Second Storm Lieutenant, though both she and the Maelstrom largely consider that honorary, and she certainly wouldn't use it except, perhaps, to pull rank on an intransigent supply officer or hapless private in a moment of great need. Additionally, as part of the cooperative exchange program established by the three Grand Companies, she often acts as a consultant on matters of magic for the Immortal Flames and the Twin Adder. Finally, L'yhta is a Master of [http://www.themysterium.org Mysterium], an order of mages based out of Limsa Lominsa.

In particular, L'yhta has been known to have significant connections with (in no particular order, save that NPCs are last):

* [[Clalaris Sil Laris]] -- A lalafellin conjurer and, it's rumoured, white mage of Gridania is one of her closest friends. L'yhta feels she can talk to her about anything, which has led to more than a few awkward conversations.
* [[Nathalanee Reinhart]] -- Nathalanee was once L'yhta's girlfriend, but the two appear to have broken up after Nathalanee went on an extended mission for the Twin Adders. L'yhta still speaks very fondly of the miqo'te, though, and stridently defends her against those who may speak ill of her.
* [[Eamont Desormaux]] -- This elezen conjurer is essentially L'yhta's surrogate father, though some believe their relationship is rather more than platonic.
* [[Seth Honeybrew]] -- Seth is, quite shockingly, the only person from whom L'yhta will accept casual racism towards miqo'te. Exactly why she's willing to laugh off from Seth what from others would usually get a verbal barrage isn't clear, but it is clear she considers him a good friend.
* [[Sazhi'to Bajhiri]] -- L'yhta feels a particular kinship to Sazhi'to (who she often just calls "Sazhi"), as both of them are, in her mind, refugees from tribal malfeasance. As for his sister, Mholi... L'yhta would be fine pushing her off a cliff.
* [[Rosamund Cartwright]] -- A rich daughter of Limsa Lominsa, Roz is one of L'yhta best friends.
* [[Racilian Lyenum]] -- "Raci," who was once a member of the Ivory Tower, is one of her friends and can always bring a smile to her face.
* [[Gus Pumpkinweed]] -- Gus was once one of L'yhta's apprentices, and the two of them got along quite well (perhaps due to the fact that they both have a strong drive towards excellence). She's ecstatic to hear that he's now opened a business of his own.
* [[Kevaraan Annorek]] -- This troubled miqo'te lancer was one of L'yhta's close friends before the Seventh Astral Era. She presumes him dead at this point, though she hopes he's just found a place where he can work through his issues.
* [[R'kyala Mahji]] -- Since the two of them met through Camille, they've gotten along smashingly, perhaps because they both act like chocobos hopped up on X-Ethers.
* [[Paran Hywel]] -- Paran and L'yhta have largely patched up their past issues, and have gone back to being friends. Lately, L'yhta has been offering him relationship advice and, perhaps, coming to some rather key realizations about herself in the process.
* [[Camille Everardi]] -- L'yhta enjoys Camille's company and her keen intellect and ability to plan. She feels Camille is wise beyond her years.
* [[K'hane Tariq]] -- Since she was released from the influence of a powerful voidsent, K'hane's returned to "normal," though L'yhta wishes she'd show more of her confidence. "There's got to be a middle ground, right?"
* [[Deitrych Brownlowe]] -- This bounty hunter is viewed by most in the Tower as somewhere between weird and extremely creepy, but L'yhta finds him to be largely misunderstood and quirkily charming. The two have interacted much less after certain revelations regarding his interactions with Clalaris.
* [[Kellach Woods]] -- L'yhta met Kellach at a beach party when he was still an employee of XI:7. She likes both his enthusiasm and humbleness, and she'd like to show him more magic as she feels he has a strong talent for the art.
* [[Fio Arasgain]] -- This chef at the Bismarck and skilled warrior is someone L'yhta respects, as he's a fellow refugee from the tribal life. She feels they have a lot in common and could become closer friends.
* [[Karaki Crystalis]] -- After a rocky start, L'yhta's found that she and this miqo'te from the East have a lot in common. She considers him a friend and hopes to be able to "correct" his less personable qualities.
* [[Cliodhna Eoghan]] -- Cliodhna and L'yhta have crossed paths a few times, and they've a friendship forged on a mutual love of fun and helping others.
* [[Sasari Sari]] -- L'yhta gets along well with Sasari, or so she believes, and is quite interested in figuring out how to help her in better controlling her magicks.
* [[Sasani Sani]] -- Perhaps surprisingly, L'yhta can in fact tell Sasari and Sasani apart. She thinks Sasani is particularly sweet.
* [[Kerin Misteyes]] -- While still on somewhat formal terms with this conjurer of the Fane, L'yhta considers Kerin a friend.
* [[Zagi'zi Kumai]] -- Despite claims that he's lost his arrogance and found a new appreciation for others, L'yhta still despises this "insufferable arse," and can't conceive of why people she knows enjoy spending time with him. She believes they have more in common than either of them would ever admit, and that perceived kinship is why she doesn't actively work against him.
* [[Kurenai Nagi]] -- L'yhta's adopted this young au ra as a surrogate little sister and has gone to great lengths to protect her and aid her with both navigating Eorzean society and her unique aetheric "problem." Despite Kurenai having left the Tower, L'yhta does try to check in on her from time to time.
* [[Aidan Hayward]] -- L'yhta met Aidan through a random leve and, despite a rocky start, the two of them had a rather torrid relationship. The two have broken up under what appears to be rather unpleasant circumstances.
* [[Llaine Tetheros]] -- Llaine and L'yhta built a relationship and ultimately a marriage by way of a long-term friendship, but for reasons L'yhta refuses to disclose other than "a big fight," the two have parted ways, with Llaine having had Eamont release her from her oath to the Tower. L'yhta still claims to love Llaine, but her discussion of the relationship and its end seems to be tinged with a great deal of bitterness.
* [[Anzu Sakata]] -- Sakata Anzu and L'yhta grew to become friends through a series of long and somewhat awkward conversations. L'yhta sees her as another surrogate sister, albeit one who needs her advice more than who can give it.
* [[Braxis Wynterwulf]] -- L'yhta isn't quite sure what to make of Ser Braxis, other than that he seems honorable and that he and Llaine often seem a lot closer than she and Llaine do (or did). She's often rather jealous of him.
* [[Myradin Aurelia]] -- Even though she knows her birth name is Mitsune, L'yhta continues to refer to her as Myradin, and considers this auri priestess to be one of her closest confidants -- when she's around, at any rate.
* Cieranaux Aramont -- Robert Fletcher's apprentice prior to L'yhta, Cieranaux has nothing but disrespect for her and typically lobs idle insults and cliché attacks in her direction -- a way to show his distaste for her while reminding her that she's, to him, nothing more than a trifle that doesn't warrant a more serious effort. After nearly murdering him and being pulled back from the brink by two of her friends, she's decided to just dismiss him as not worth her trouble.
* Volkido Tekido -- Robert Fletcher's personal assistant, this lalafell is the majordomo of the Ivory Tower and also acts as L'yhta's personal assistant. As much as he complains about being put upon by these "wizards with their heads in the clouds," and the "foolish girl" that he's "stuck with," Volkido cares deeply for her and the other wizards.
* L'ehli Tia -- When L'yhta last went to Greencliff, this tia -- one of her nephews by her eldest sister -- followed her back. Volkido has set him up with an apartment using L'yhta's funds so he can remain in the city; he's currently training at the Coral Tower to join the Yellowjackets.
* Solaxia -- L'yhta's agreed to, along with Clalaris, train this excitable sylph in the ways of magic. While Solaxia would much rather learn Thaumaturgy from Stompy One (as she calls L'yhta), L'yhta's pushed the sylph to learn Conjury from Moogle One (aka Clalaris) first.
* Lydia Burroughs -- This alleged defector from the Garleans was complicit in a dire crime committed against one of L'yhta's best friends. L'yhta told Nathalanee she wanted her to decide how to handle the captive, and so Lydia was turned over to the Twin Adder for debriefing despite L'yhta's misgivings. While she hopes the hyur can make good on the second chance she's been given, L'yhta is keeping a close eye on her and won't hesitate to try to put an end to this experiment if it goes even the least bit awry.

As of late, she's also been wearing fairly "daring" outfits involving short skirts and light, sleeveless tops. Her choice of clothing in public is as fluid as her mood, though unless she has no alternative, she never wears armor heavier than a breastplate or chain-backed robes and heavy leather boots. In private, she usually wears leggings and a bandeau top, light and minimal smallclothes, or nothing at all.

===Likes===
* Music and dancing
* Battle and violence (though she'd only confess to "battles to protect people")
* Jellied fruits -- or any fruit, really
* Conversation, especially about magic, philosophy, and religion
* Proving how great she is
* Being surprised by someone's knowledge and talents
* Being teased (though she'd ''never'' admit that)
* Confident people who don't take themselves or life too seriously

===Dislikes===
* Probing questions about her tribal past or ''especially'' about her sexuality
* Being corrected, even when she's clearly screwed up
* Miqo'te females who fit the "cute" or "sexy" stereotype, as well as those who support tribal culture
* People who deny her "clearly obvious brilliance"
* The nobility and anyone else who seek to impose their will on others
* Arrogant people, especially those who claim noble blood or divine right
* "Fanatic cultists:" Ishgardians, Garleans, and sometimes Gridanians (depending on how much they use "the will of the Elementals" to justify their actions)

[[Image:Lyhta mahre sanguinefenrir.png|right|thumb|300px|L'yhta envisioned by '''sanguineFenrir''']]
===Areas of Expertise===
* '''Martial''': Thaumaturgy, Arcanima, Conjury; Thaumaturgy is her strongest Discipline, followed by Arcanima, then Conjury.
** L'yhta has a strong amateur's skill in one-handed swordplay, but rarely uses it in the field except to advance her research or if she has no other options.
* '''Crafting''': Engraving, magitek modification
** She has some experience in alchemy and goldsmithing, but is a rough beginner except where they're necessary for her research. She knows enough tailoring to patch her own clothes. Mostly, she relies on others to keep her non-magical equipment and clothes in good shape.
* '''Other''': Magic theory, literacy, area knowledge, vocal performance, dancing, being insufferably upbeat
** L'yhta's particular area of expertise in magic theory is what she calls "esotery" -- archaic and often "odd" practices of magic that don't neatly fit into the three Eorzean Disciplines. This includes melding the different Disciplines together to produce novel effects. She also has a passing familiarity with astrology, astromancy, and a variety of other practices of magic.

===Strengths===
* '''Magically adept''': L'yhta has a considerable natural talent for weaving Aether and practices all three Disciplines of Magic (though she's not ''nearly'' as great as she thinks she is).
* '''Driven''': When she's set her mind to something, it's very difficult to dissuade her.
* '''Witty''': L'yhta can be pretty quick with a quip or a joke about a situation, even in the midst of a pitched battle.
* '''Active''': If nothing else, L'yhta is a constant dynamo of energy. She does have an "off switch," so to speak, but most of the time, she's always in motion.
* '''Sidethinker''': When she does actually deign to plan, she's good at coming up with unexpected alternative solutions to problems.
* '''High alcohol tolerance''': As a result of growing up with small beers and her training with the Wizards' Choir (some of which involved heavy drinking and the consumption of "recreational" herbs and potions), L'yhta has a shockingly high alcohol tolerance, especially for someone her size. It's said she's drunk even salty Roegadyn sailors under the table, though not without having to be carried out of the tavern afterwards.
* '''Optimistic''': Everything's going to be great, Eorzea's heading to a greater tomorrow, and there's no way we can make the same mistakes of the past -- or so L'yhta believes. Going hand in hand with her naivete, she's boundlessly optimistic and typically views the bright side of any situation.

===Weaknesses===
* '''Physically inept''': While she has improved her physical skills, L'yhta is still far more powerful magickally; she'll never win a sword duel, for instance.
* '''Naive''': L'yhta believes that people are essentially good, that evil is always obvious, and that Good will always triumph over Evil in the end. More subtle and devious forms of wickedness can slip right under her nose, and as a result she's not the best judge of character.
* '''Imperceptive''': It could be her overconfidence blinding her, a consequence of her stubbornness when her mind is on another task, or merely a natural trait, but L'yhta is notably poor at noticing things that are out of the ordinary unless she's explicitly looking for them. As a Seeker of the Sun, her night vision is also fairly poor (which is one reason she likes staves that glow, besides how "stylish" they are). Her lack of perception often even extends to picking up on social cues.
* '''Stubborn''': Going hand in hand with being driven, once she's chosen a course of action -- for good or ill -- she rarely changes her mind unless the situation changes such that she has no other option. If she, for instance, decides someone is evil, it's very difficult to convince her otherwise. Precious few people can get her to second-guess her decisions, particularly in the heat of the moment.
* '''Overconfident''': At present, nothing in the world can convince "Limsa Lominsa's most spectaculofabulous sorcerer" that she's not, in fact, "Utterly Excellent" and "Destined for Great Things." This overconfidence more often than not leads her to take unnecessary, completely foolish risks. One of the most common demonstrations of this is her casually dismissive attitude towards both danger and her enemies. Some suspect that this overconfidence is really just overcompensation for her...
* '''Self-image issues''': As a result of her upbringing, L'yhta feels that magic is the only thing she's actually any good at, and that she has very few other positive qualities. This is usually extremely well-hidden behind her veil of overconfidence, but it comes out from time to time in pointedly negative comments she makes about herself, perseveration on others' off-handed comments about her, and dramatic changes in behavior or clothing based on the observations of others. For instance, a simple "isn't that outfit a little tight for you?" from an acquaintance can get her to run away to change clothes into something dramatically different, even if she were just proudly showing the outfit off.
* '''Lack of planning''': L'yhta rarely plans her actions in advance, preferring instead a "Geronimo!" approach of leaping before she looks. The term "poor impulse control" fits her, and when she feels she has to plan (or is forced to do so), she tends to get fidgety and impatient.

==Other Notes==
[[Image:LyhtaMahreNobootsFinalJPeg-Eckzein.jpg|right|thumb|300px|L'yhta dancing, envisioned by '''Eckzein''']]
[[Image:Lyhta-aria.jpg|right|thumb|300px|L'yhta being smug, envisioned by '''A'ria''']]
[[Image:ChibiMaker-Lyhta.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Chibi L'yhta-chan?!?]]
===Naming===
L'yhta usually uses a slightly simplified version of her name, "Lyta," among non-miqo'te primarily because she dislikes them butchering its actual pronunciation and spelling. It's easier and less obnoxious, in her mind, to just use a name that matches how people would typically read her name anyway. As such, she often uses the alias on legal documents in the city-states to simplify transactions. Among other miqo'te, however, she uses and prefers her real name. In close company, she, like many Seekers of the Sun, is known to drop her tribe letter and call herself Yhta (EE-tah).

===Religion===
L'yhta venerates the Twelve, but doesn't worship them, nor does she recognize any of them as her patron deity. If anything, she views Hydaelyn itself as her patron based on recent events. She feels that the circumstances of her life are proof of two things: one, she's been chosen for a Great Destiny by the Mothercrystal, and two, Nymeia has chosen to bless her, perhaps for this reason. Perhaps surprisingly, L'yhta isn't egotistical or outspoken about either of these beliefs or religion in general. In fact, she's typically awkward in such discussions, approaching them extremely tentatively (especially with regards to the Echo, which she views as both a blessing and a curse that makes her "weird").

===Quirks===
L'yhta adores jellied and candied fruits, and is rarely without a pouch of them. She also tends to introduce herself using made-up adjectives, usually created by forcefully merging two words, to describe her "greatness;" for instance, she's been known to refer to herself as "stupendiferous," "brilliantastic," and "magnifijestic." She'll often apply this sort of puffery to her friends, particularly when introducing them or cheering on their successes.

===Equipment===
L'yhta has acquired through her travels a fairly significant collection of artifacts that can channel and focus Aether, ranging from Nymian books to Allagan rods, from Belah'dian swords to Amdapori staves. Most of her robes and other clothes are commissioned bespoke, then enchanted by her; she spends considerable gil on "looking stylish," as she puts it. She especially likes modern recreations of ancient designs, such as Nymian outfits. However, she does have a relatively small collection of acquired clothing, including some highly magicked smallclothes that she came across in an Ishgardian fortress that'd been overrun by Voidsent.

In addition to this equipment, L'yhta has a wide variety of stolen and modified magitek (including a Reaper she's painted a garish metallic yellow) that she uses along with specialized spells of her own design to either deflect attacks or imbue her weapons -- specifically, a magitek sword -- with magical force. The net effect is that she can become quite difficult to hurt, but her lack of expertise and physical ability leave her relatively inept at actually landing any blows. When she's "cheating" in this way, she can't channel Aether for more direct spells. Despite her best efforts (and probably for the good of Eorzea generally), she remains unable to call forth and precisely control enough Aether to do so, and the effects of the magitek on the local Aetheric flows would make attempts to do so rather unsafe, to put it mildly.

===Rumours===
The following rumours can be heard about L'yhta, predominantly in Limsa Lominsa. (Please feel free to add your character's thoughts here as well.)

====Common rumours====
* "Remember that wizard, Robert Wotshisname? The one with the white hair? Yeah, he was ''totally'' making his bed with that Seeker girl, ifyaknowwhatImean."
* "Nah, she was just leading him on to get his inheritance once he was returned to the sea."
* "I heard she's been working with the Maelstrom as some kind of 'consulting mage' after she stopped some huge fishback ritual."
* "I never seen someone who weren't a kid, drunk, or a whore hug people as much as she does. An' she's no child, so whaddya think that says about her?"

====Uncommon rumours====
* "Remember what I said about her killing her family? She went back to finish the job! Why else's she got black hair now?"
* "Oh, I heard that she actually killed that old man she was bedding! She hit him with a spell while he was fighting on the front lines."
* "I used ta say she had no magical power, b-but... listen, bub, I-I saw her ''vaporize'' a ship's mast at full sail! Snap, boom, it was just ''gone''!"
* "I saw her bring an injured hyur to Fallgourd Float... then hire an adventurer to shoot the poor woman if she tried to leave! What kind of horrible creature would do such a thing?"
* "Shh! Keep it down! I heard she pushed someone off th' side of the city when he talked bad about her an' Seekers, then set 'im on fire on th' way down!"

====Rare rumours====
* "L'yhta's family is looking for her, and they're worried sick that she's going to fall in with a bad crowd or get killed."
* "She travels between here, Gridania, and Ul'dah a lot -- I bet she's a secret assassin working for some rich noble."
* "That green-haired miqo'te she's been hanging around? They're lovers, I heard. Yeah -- and that older elezen she's around, too, and those two lalafell with the staves. Typical miqo'te, bedding anything with a heartbeat..."

====What PCs are saying====

* "L'yhta? She is a tad excitable, yes, but then she tends to find exciting things. It all balances out, really, and it makes for interesting stories to tell." --[[Sazhi'to Bajhiri]]
* "A female who shares my distaste for the tribes. Fancies herself a sorcerer, too. She'll definitely be a good resource if she's half as learned as she claims to be." -- [[Fio Arasgain]]
* "A very good friend. Always good for a hug! And for exploring dangerous ruins with reckless disregard for our own well-being." - [[Kellach Woods]]
* "Oh- L'yhta! The sorcerer, hm? Hells, I really meant to speak with her again- she inspired me to try and take up more of the magical arts than I thought ''plausible'' before. I am still ''quite'' interested to see how she managed to meld Arcanima and Thaumaturgey, and those experiments ''did'' sound intriguing. ... I wonder if she remembers me; how time gets away up here. . ." -- [[Xavarian Mystrife]]
* "L'yhta's adorable. She's got a neat way of talking and some of the stuff's over my head but I can tell she's got a good heart! Plus she's a lot like me in some ways. More than the Miqo'te thing, and she doesn't have the glowy hair, but still..." -- [[Karaki Crystalis]]
* "L'yhta is my closest friend, my sister, and my most trusted confidant. There are not words to describe what she means to me, but suffice it to say that I would give everything for her sake. Whether it be delving into dangerous ruins, facing down hordes of enemies, or unlocking the mysteries of this world, I know I can count on her, and she on me." - [[Llaine Tetheros]]
* "Oh! L'yhta is a great teacher and a best friend, and gives amazing hugs! Those three things together make an unmatched winning combo, and I know no one better than her to wield it!" - [[C'eleni Meztli]]

===Known Haunts===
You might have run into or otherwise know L'yhta from:

Ryanti Veanysus is a Miqo'te/Midlander halfbreed, and present Heir of the Veanysus family line. Ryanti is a Shipment Quartermaster in the Immortal Flames. When he is off duty, Ryanti usually assumes the role of a Veanysian Dinnerware Company Representive, assisting his mother, who happens to be the Chief Executive Officer of the company. While these are his public faces, Ryanti also lends his hands to more secretive affairs, which align with his true motives and purposes he finds in his life.

He has a golden heart with a mind for idealism, though he is far from innocent. He is worldy and cultured. The young man strives to utilize his wealth and duty to make the world a better place for all.

==Family History and Lineage==

[[File:Ryanti's_Family_Tree.png|200px|thumb|center|Ryanti's Family Tree (WIP)]]

'''Father's Side'''

The earliest traits of the Veanysus family bloodline descends from an incredibly old Elezen family based in Ishguard. The name was adopted into an old Kingdom root when an Elezen was wed to a Midlander in the year 676 of the Sixth Astral Era. The Elezen's name was Ańýawilliphúr Elecrexia. During the early dawn of Ishguard's history, the name Veanysus belonged to a young man called Bartholomeus. The Veanysus name gained a noble status when Bartholomeus wed the Elecrexia heiress, creating the earliest incarnation of the blood line.

Much of the Ishguardian factors of their bloodline has been lost. Partially because of time, mostly because of alienation. If one blames the Ishguardian isolationism that had been an important factor in present times, they would not be entirely correct. However, Ishguardian isolationism can follow the family all the way back to c. 1200 of the Sixth Astral Era.

After the destruction of Sil'Dih to the hands of Ul'Dah during that era in history, events reached a breaking point. Phelexia Veanysus and her husband, Hadran, decided to informally secede themselves from the Ishguardian blood line, and start over from scratch in Ul'Dah. Taking advantage of the mass exodus of Sil'Deh refugees from the bloody and brutal Civil War, the couple created and amassed a dinnerware company. With its heart in the desert, the Veanysus family entered a new era of prosperity. This signified the end of royal nobility and the beginning of merchant nobility. This is the foundation and basis of what the Veanysus family is today.

During those centuries, the family's Ishguardian ties further died within their family. As their family's heirs continued, their alienation from the Northern half of Eorzea remained on a pattern of distancing themselves further and further from the North with each passing generation.

However, those two fates were destined to intertwine. At a moment in time where even her own family would not lend her aide because she was of the youngest sister, an adventuring woman with a purpose by the name of Alexandria befriended a man by the name of Rei-Signh Veanysus. The only surviving brother of four, Rei-Signh was a competent warrior prince of his own right, having learned and implemented the skill and technique of street acrobatics into his scimitar repertoire. Burning for a reason to live as the only survivor of a failed assassination attempt, Re-Signh joined Alexandria in a journey around the entire world, in an attempt to resolve a major concern of Ishguard, lost to time.

During their fateful journey, Rei-Signh married Alexandria. It was then that the family reunited its ties with the North, for Alexandria was a distant cousin of Phelexia's Ishguardian line.

Since then, the family has had occasional Ishguardian descendants, including Maxamillion Veanysus I.

Members of Ryanti's family since his grandfather, Maxamillion Veanysus II, have all been Ul'Dahn.

Ryanti is the first child born to a Miqo'te female.

===Status and Wealth===

'''"Do not take for granted your birth within this family and the life you have, son."'''

'''"In other words... don't be evil?"'''

'''"More then that. Utilize your gift to bring the world up to where you are, not to stomp all over it with your heel."'''

~ Lorenthian and Ryanti Veanysus

Ryanti's family are considered in the Upper Class society. Though far from the wealthiest, they are indeed enriched with resources and heavy on cash. Their financial contribution exceeds far more then that of a common working family. Besides their tradition of military prowess, which happens on occasional generations, they also run a successful business in dinnerware. That, combined with military commission incoming from the City-State at the price of required service, provides the source of their income.

They have always been respected and, at times revered, by members of society's elite. However, ever since a Midlander half-breed with the visual distinctions of a Miqo'te was born, tensions have existed within a few situations, especially with traditionally preservative wealthy families. Recent times have improved on this, however.

The family has owned an Estate in Ul'Dah for close to two centuries. It was constructed by the design of Persephone Veanysus and the pocket of Maxamillion I. It comes complete with four housekeepers, and one Butler who doubles as caretaker.

==Personal History (Backstory) ==

===The Early Years===

'''"Is father really my dad?"'''

'''"Goodness, honey. Why would you ask such a thing?!?"'''

'''"My ears are pointy. Dad's is round. And he has no tail, too!"'''

~ Ryanti and his Mother, Aria

Ryanti Veanysus was born on the 23rd day of the Seventh Astral Moon in 1554 from the marriage of Lorenthian Veanysus, a Hyruian Midlander and Aria Veanysus, a fair-skilled Moon Seeker Miqo'te. A basket woven with white flowers was made as his first crib, flowers in which Ryanti grew fond of as a young man.

Being still a young man with decades of service ahead of him, Lorenthian was almost always away from home. His mother, Aria, did not have much better luck to spend much time with her newborn son. The family business needed its Central Executive Officer. Therefore, the responsibility of raising Ryanti was passed down to the caretakers, and occasionally his parents. His mother would come to regret this later in life, as the rapid influx and outflux of personal influences on Ryanti caused him to turn inward in his early youth, and distant from his mother until only recently.

Ryanti dived himself into books and stories, as it still does to this day. Romantic stories of high civilization and the golden years of prosperous past forever shaped his perspective of the world.

------

=== Adolescence ===

'''"Those other kids. What were they doing to you?"

'''"What they always do."'''

'''"You're not gonna do anything about it?"'''

'''"It is my fate to be treated for what I am."'''

'''"No, it ain't your fate. If anyone does that again to you I'll bloody their prissy little noses for you."'''
~ Gaiden Malcolm and Ryanti Veanysus
[[File:Ryanti Veanysus.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Ryanti Veanysus at 15 years old]]
Ryanti's more outgoing personality and adventurous urgings came out when he flowered into adolescence. Being born of such distinction, Ryanti tended to idealize the Hyuran side of his family and alienate himself from his Miqo'te side, which he believed brought nothing to him but insecurity and scrutiny.

At the same time, the exiling of the Beastmen in 1562 left an enormous impression on the noble youth in Ul'Dah. The preservationist ideals of the early Lalafell swiftly became back in practice in those families backed with tradition and fortune. Racism began to poke out its ugly head, and Ryanti, being a half breed in what seemed to be an awkward situation in his family lineage, was an immediate target.

In a world in which a growing child was beginning to experience social life with other children, Ryanti found himself with no friends, and many enemies. Feeling like he had a lack of reprieve from the scrutiny, Ryanti blamed this on his mother's blood. Purebred Miqo'te children resented his mother's dabbling into the Hyurs, seeing their species as a plague, while pure Hyurs, especially Midlanders, related Ryanti as the child of mistakes, and believed him below them. This created a complicated sense of identity that Ryanti carries to this day.

He was accepted nowhere, and was violently mistreated. He was consistently teased, and often jumped or ridiculed and bullied. Derogatory names were tossed at him at an almost daily basis. He became a behavioral case, often locking himself up in his room, diving himself in books, pamphlets, paintings, anything to get away from the outside world, which was beginning to bend on him with a negative, oppressive feeling. All in all, Ryanti was a quite bitter teenager.

There was a few who stood up for him, however. One example is of young boy by the name of '''Gaiden Malcolm''', he was the heir of a merchant family who sold furniture. Often hanging out with the less fortunate, Gaiden was a mischievous, charismatic, and empathetic individual. His perceptions of the world were much more friendlier then the usual noble caste. It was Gaiden's own burden to bear when he volunteered to make a defense in Ryanti's case, generally cashed in by beatings of the oppressors. It was men like him that convinced Ryanti not to give up on himself just yet.

------

===The Fall of Dalamund and the Battle of Carteneau===

In 1572, the cycle date of Dalamund's fall, Ryanti's life had taken an odd turn. During the waning years of Dalamund's fall, Lorenthian's final pledge to service was to fight for his life. Recently becoming a BloodSworn, Ryanti's father took up the mantle of becoming a leader of a 52 man unit of semi-experienced servicemen with no fear and the willingness to die. With the world seemingly coming to an end, the family found themselves on the precinct in Ul'Dah's outer walls, defending themselves against Garlean hordes. Faced with the very real possibility of the world ending, and his father fighting on the Front lines of Carteneau, it spelled the moment when for the first time ever, Ryanti took up a sword and fought for his life as his father did at 16 years of age.

Lorenthian ended up losing all 52 men, and for the first time in '''his''' life, fled in shame. However, as an unintended consequence, the fleeing meant that Lorenthian did not in fact get sent forward in time. Instead, he quickly rode back to Thanalan to return to his family. The unforeseen installment of a stressful period of brief cataclysm and waiting rocked his family with stress.

Having seen the might and prowess of the Garleans for the first time with his own eyes after spending a decade eyeing them in books and stories, Ryanti was taken aback by his quiet admiration of them.

Having seen Bahamut himself, the father could feel the same. Now middle-aged and weary of war, it was Lorenthian's last battle.

Aria, a mother so rocked with worry and sternness, continued to run her business during the whole affair despite suffering a rather severe financial loss. To her, supply the needy, injured, and weak with food, water, and of course dinnerware, was better than hording any sort of bill. It was from her, after all, that Ryanti finally understood the meaning of kindness, and a perspective outside of his own sheltered bubble in Ul'Dah. Ryanti had always wanted to escape Uldah, travel the world and help people, but it was at this moment that he finally affirmed to himself that he will confide to that errand.

== Personal History (Ongoing; RP Driven) ==

=== Barracks and Training in Dirty Fighting ===

'''"Yer shitridin' nobles expect a free ride in this hellhole?!?"'''

'''"All I ask, is that you give me the same kind of ride you offer to anyone in here."'''

'''"Well it sure as hell ain't gonna be free, kid. Yer sure as much sacrifice your pride as much as your deposit."'''

~ Drill Instructor Abott and Ryanti Veanysus in the Ul'Dahn barracks.
[[File:Ryanti_Sparring.jpg|175px|thumb|right|A green Ryanti sparring in the barracks]]
As per required of his family, Ryanti admitted into Officer Training School at around 20 years of age. He was to spend eight months in school, and three months in the barracks to consummate a year of training. He received his initiation into military life from Drill Instructor Amarce Abott, eventually earning his respect not through his technique or neither his background, but rather his ability to keep coming back to training, despite Abott's tendency to brutalize privileged nobles that had gone to Officer School in an attempt to scare them out of the core. Abott attempted to utilize Ryanti's loves of refinement and progression and use it against him. Despite all of this, Ryanti refused to leave.

One of his last steps as an officer in training was to travel around the continent and gather up good deeds to be recorded and vouched for on a special note pad, and to bring it back with him to the Flames along with a massive 57 page report on what they have learned during their travels. During this journey, Ryanti spent some time in Ishguard during a brief reprieve, learning how to 'fight dirty' from the thief racket and an ex-assassin. This was his first exposure to Ishguard, a realm that Ryanti found himself fond of, and a place where, unknown to him, his true family's home.

------

=== Sentinal's Ark ===

He also spent some time with a task-oriented force that promoted a sense of well being and justice; '''Sentinal's Ark'''. Under the tutelage of [[Mtoto Wamoto]], Ryanti Veanysus experienced hands-on training that included trials such as balancing on wet rocks of a waterfall while being pelted with objects and harnessing the defeat of a winged beast in the jungles of La Noscea. Ryanti attributes him breaking into the world of adventuring to her, despite never being able to know her greatest secret; how to have dinner with her.

He also credits Sentinal's Ark with attributing to his graduation, noting that despite his report coming up short (A disappointingly 32 page report) he graduated anyway.

[[File:mto.png|100px|thumb|center|M'toto Wamoto]]

=== A New Direction ===

'''"This is against any and all kinds of regulations."'''

'''"This is not a task fit to be regulated."'''
~ [[Anzio Zansio]] and [[Ryanti Veanysus]]
[[File:Ryanti_Initiation.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Ryanti at the time of his transition]]
Having graduated, Ryanti found himself with a decision to make. To take on a unit and become a Lieutenant in one of the three national brigades, or to refuse to take a unit and try his hand at other optional career pathways available to him. Wishing to travel more often, and do more unorthodox tasks, Ryanti decided not to take a unit, despite the temptation of being a leader.

Avoiding the path more traveled of being regulated to office duty, Ryanti swiftly volunteered at every chance he could of overseeing shipping containers. Reasons being that he was fascinated over the latest state of the art equipment, and being part of the process in handling said equipment. The pace of his life was smooth at first; Ryanti found himself often approached by others to determine whether or not the specs in the current shipping lines were heading to their correct destinations. It is during this brief time that Ryanti began his fascination for mechanical engineering, having avoided it in the past due to the idea of getting dirty.

It was not long before he was approached by the Military Brass; Bloodsworn in charge of his sector that proposed an idea for a mission that deviated from the normal. The mission was identified as top secret and classified. Ryanti was all too motivated to accept.

Briefly before, Ryanti was assigned an underling. An assistant to help him with every day operations. This assistant turned out to be [[Anzio Zansio]], An Ul'Dahn Lalafell that balanced Ryanti's tenancies to follow intuition and break the rules with his hard-nosed, by-the-book approach to tactics and proceedings. The pairing made them terrifically balanced and close friends.

Ryanti invited his assistant to his mission, which turned out to be the testing of reverse engineered Garlean projectile weapons; guns. In one hilarious moment, Anzio fired one of the weapons himself, sending him reeling off of his feet. Despite the efforts of information brokers, word did not get out about the testing, and Ryanti was able to report it a success.

=== The Black Label (WIP) ===

'''[Note: (Ryanti has had several adventures as a member of the Black Label. Due to length, I will not resort to posting them here; however I am thinking of releasing them in a series of short stories in the future. All of these stories took place between patches 2.2 - 2.4.)]'''

'''"Your actions will be invisible and minus all praise. Your death will be invisible if your methods result in such. It is a hard life. It is not to be taken for granted that you can back out now if you wish, but I cannot promise you will be able to back out in the future."'''

'''"The possibility of an early death is nothing compared to the promise of seeing more in this lifetime than anyone in my generation had ever hoped to see; I'm in."'''

~ Ryanti Veanysus making his decision.
[[File:Ryanti_Black_Label.png|100px|thumb|left|???]]
Upon the completion of that mission, Ryanti was called into service by a hidden branch of the Ul'dahn military. Due to his family standing, interest in both history and technology, and perhaps his naivety, he had been selected. He was summoned by his ordering Captain to a meeting held underneath Horizon's township harbor, and proposed a choice of a lifetime.

He was proposed to join a secret joint operation of the Eorzean Alliance called the Black Label. Responsible for excavating top secret ancient technology and magic, the Black Label worked hand and hand with the Sons of Saint Coinach to excavate lost technology and hidden majicks in the highest of secrecy, in order to determine whether or not the said devices could help mankind, or whether or not it must be destroyed or hidden forever. Beyond that top responsibility, the Black Label also works to steal Garlean technology for the purposes of reverse engineering it for the Eorzean Alliance.

The Black Label is composed of selected individuals, nobodies and somebodies, that keep their affiliation with the Black Label '''secret'''.

Ryanti has had several adventures as an active member of the Black Label already. What will be in store for him next?

------

==Personality==
[[File:Ryanti_Present.jpg|150px|thumb|center|A more mature, experienced Ryanti in the present day]]
Upon first glance, Ryanti has a soft-spoken aura about him that is benevolent in nature. The way at which he carries himself can be described as serene, and graceful. He is a natural nurturer, for both people and the world as a whole. He wears his heart on his sleeve when not on the job, as his appetite for social contact and forming friendships cannot be ripped out of his true nature, even now.

He values civilization and refinement very highly. He believes the soul is a very precious, beautiful thing, and that mankind deserves to a carve a surrounding about themselves beautiful enough to accommodate such vessels. He values people in harmony with civilization. However, he has a severe disdain for those resistant to change, and progression. It is because of this that he frowns upon tribal culture, and stagnant culture. He becomes 'nauseated' over the idea of 'backwater' locales, and generally tends to view Eorzea as severely behind the times.

He had a powerful sense of vision of how the world should operate, and a passion for bringing about positive change in society and mankind. However, he can be brash when his opinions are challenged, and has a tendency to go off on a mini-lecture about trivial things, or to be a smartass. All originating from his posh, noble roots.

His voice still contains that posh accent.

In his youth, he was directly rascist towards Miqo'te, blaming them for his harsh upbringing. Despite having overcome that perception, he is very insecure and self-doubting of his Miqo'te side when it comes to his own body. The stereotypes of the Miqo'te make him uncomfortable within his own skin, and he is concerned over his own self-image of his mother's blood holding him back. He prefers to be identified as a Veanysus and is quick to correct individuals who directly call him a Miqo'te. Rascist terms associated with Miqo'te being directed at him infuriates him.

Ryanti was raised in an upper class sect of Ul'Dah, surrounded by young nobles with money to spend on their vices due to infinite boredom. Because of that, most marriages that he witnessed were of business, and everyone had a lover on the side. Because of this, it is difficult for Ryanti to understand how marriage correlates with love. He believes that marriage can be involved with love, but that love is not required to marry, nor is marrying required to love. Ryanti is willing to love, and return love, though he believes love is a free thing, not meant to be tied down in commitment or forced.

Ryanti is bisexual, though he leans more towards women; he can only imagine himself marrying a woman.

===Common Rumors (Overheard often)===

''' "Aye, that one. A product of love born amidst a society stuffed with rules. Tsch, kid would of been better off a pauper and that's irony for ya."
'''

''' "Kid's got his head way too up in the clouds to understand what's going on right in front of him."'''

''' "Been turning heads ever since he showed up in the Barracks. Skin softer then a baby sheep yet he just keeps on getting up. He's got that kind of aura about him that his father does. The beacon of light that heals the hearts of others and bolsters them to greatness."
'''

''' "Can't help but gossip about a cat inheriting a man. Whether or not a cat could outdo a man. Could live up to being one when it grows older. He wants to be like his dad, but he's exactly the opposite."
'''

===Uncommon Rumors (Overheard sometimes)===

'''"He turns into such a gentleman when in the spotlight. He has a silver tongue and a golden heart. He can just as quickly grow distant, afraid. Damn impossible to predict when, or why for that matter."
'''

'''"He plays well, dances marvelously. Yet somehow he despises to show the world those facets about him. His attitude is too caught up in building an image that takes itself way too seriously."
'''

===Rare Rumors (Overheard rarely)===

''' "I saw him with a shoulder bag. It was glowing. He seemed a bit in a rush. What the hell was in that thing?'"
'''

'''"So his mother's from Garlemald? Lovely. More fuel to the fire in the controversy of that marriage. What a mess, especially considering the tension."
'''

''' "He would sometimes take nightly walks. Looked up a lot. Was fond of the horizon. Tossed some paper away. I picked it up once. It was just a few questions he had asked himself. There were answers written down, but scribbled out so viciously that the paper itself was ripped."

'''''"While our meeting was not what he originally intended, and our friendship not what I had originally expected, I know that I have nothing short of a trusting relationship with Master Veanysus. While his health in all matters is our business, I admit that I am fond of the moments we can steal time together - and am ultimately beside myself that I have gained such a good and kind patron, supporter, and friend."''''' - [[Kotone Shimayasu]]

'''''"Ryanti is... he's something else. He's very enigmatic. On first glance, it's the silky locks of hair and those pretty aquamarine eyes that leave an impression on you. Yet, there's so much more to him than just that. And still you wonder that that's only the surface you've just begun to unravel. But he's a wonderful gentleman through and through, that much is for sure."''''' - [[C'eleni Meztli]]

==Trivia==

The concept of Ryanti Veanysus first started in 1.0. I intended to make him a Hyur Midlander and to have his own estate in the middle of nowhere, and have him be indecisive from all three states. (Did not know much about the lore at the time.) The Upper Class association has always stayed the same. When I left 1.0 after being incredibly disappointed, I took Ryanti and redesigned him completely for TERA. The foundations were the same, however. I left TERA as well, and now coming back to 2.0, I redesigned him a third time. That's the Ryanti that exists now.

I took inspiration from the Italian Renaissance behind his last name in 2010, and the first name was the middle name of my first RP character I ever made back in 2004.

'''Aya Foxheart''', a Highland Hyur from Ishgard, is a dancer by vocation, a model by fortune, and a barmaid by occupation.
She is best known as one of the Quick Sand's barmaids, and for the Eorzean Alliance's 'For Eorzea!' campaign. Beyond being one of Eorzea's most recognized blondes, she is also known to some as friend, thoughtful poet, unexpected tinker, and surprisingly canny ally.

=== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;background:#FFE4E1;font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;">Appearance</div> ===
This tall, blonde Hyur woman moves gracefully, while displaying bright energetic blue eyes, and a warm cheerful smile - Everyone's favorite bountifully chested barmaid!

:*Cheerful, Vivacious, and Graceful.
:*Fashionable and Attentive
:*Unabashedly Feminine
:*Very Blonde

'''Features:''' Bright blue eyes and an almost constant cheerful smile are the highlights of a striking oval shaped face that possesses the eye-catching character of Ala Mhigan womanhood. Light blonde eyebrows stand out prominently with even the most cursory glance. Her features and manner are naturally expressive if not exaggerated. She communicates as much by facial expression and body language as by word.

'''Physique:''' Although somewhat slight for a Highland Hyur, she is statuesque by Midlander standards standing at 5' 10" without the aid of heels. Her physique is athletic and fit, with a curvaceous and bountiful figure that has helped propel her to a burgeoning career as a fashion and glamour model. She has trained in dancing and gymnastics since a youth, adding a wider regimen of workouts with growing intensity as she has moved from path to path. Taken together they have helped her reach and maintain overall-body power and endurance. Her cheerful energy and feminine manner often obscures her unexpected level of strenght and fitness.

'''Hair''' Long and light golden blonde that bleaches in the summer sun. Slightly wavy, at times it threatens to become an unruly curl. She typically wears it tied back in a pony tail, with long bangs that she enjoys experimenting with. When modelling, or in a formal setting, she usually leaves her hair down where it falls half-way down her back.

'''Dress:''' She prefers outfits chosen for form instead of function, almost universally wearing high heeled shoes and boots as steep as she can get away with, and skirts instead of trousers or leggings. When necessary to be more practical practical, she still gives priority to flattering her figure. Her work as a fashion model has served to both broaden her horizons and her wardrobe. She seems to approach every season as a fresh fashion challenge!

'''Accessories and Makeup''': Aya is usually seen wearing at least light makeup, and is only to be found without colored lips and eye makeup when caught by surprise. Jewelry and accessories are one of the passions of her life and she sports seven piercings on each ear (four upper, and three lower), usually wearing larger earrings on the lower-most piercing, and then matching studs or rings in the remaining (frequently changed to match her outfit, and sometimes her mood). She usually wears an assortment of belts, necklaces, bracelets, and rings, as well as navel jewelry that she enjoys showing off when visible.

'''Manner:''' Vivacious, feminine, and self-possessed. Often bold, irreverent, and flirtatious. She carries herself with an easy and practiced grace, something that seems to come through even when clumsy (most often associated with her hips). In more private moments she can become profoundly reflective and even melancholy, but in all moods and settings she maintains an almost reflexively feminine manner. This proved true even when she found herself within a martial setting, one in which she never felt fully comfortable.

'''Voice:''' Light, energetic, and delightful(*). An obvious Ishgardian accent lends a lilting tone to her speech. Those intimately familiar with Ishgardian manners of speech will immediately recognize her as non-Ishgardian, and may be able to tease out the hint of Highland burr that still inflects her speech. She speaks the common tongue with a regular dose of Ishgardian words and expressions, and is even more natural and eloquent in the Ishgardian tongue of her adopted home. She speaks her native Ala Mhigan without a hint of accent on hesitation. Her singing voice is an unusually strong mezzo soprano.

(*)Some could also easily find her voice annoying!

=== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;background:#FFE4E1;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Disposition</div> ===

Aya is outgoing and social, with a clear orientation toward easy fun. She has a significant soft-hearted streak that often sometimes conflicts with her better sense. She has a tendency to speaks before she thinks(sometimes leading to bouts of momentary shyness). She prefers to avoid hard physical or mental work, but thrives when employed in a social environment or when the center of attention. She has expensive tastes for comfort and baubles, and will almost always take the easiest route to Gil when offered.

Nonetheless, she has become significantly more responsible since fleeing Ishgard and encountering the difficulties of the real world shorn from the protective layer of her family, and can usually be counted on if it really matters.

Her preference for shopping, relaxing, and fun to hard work should become quickly obvious to even the most ambivalent observer.

[[File:Aya_portrait.png|left|thumb|Aya as a Barmaid in Ul'dah]]

==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Ala Mhigan Refugee</div> ====
Born the youngest of three children into an upper class Ala Mhigan family steeped in a long warrior tradition, Aya was born into what should have been a life of relative luxury. All hope of such fortune was washed away among the flood of refugees fleeing the Kingdom ahead of the Imperial conquest. Living as refugees the family moved from city to city in a vain effort to call in old favors to find permanent settlement. After being turned away from every hope, including an extended stay near Limsa Lominsa, Aya's father finally made the decision he had been so loath to consider in the past: to call upon distant relatives who had settled as sellswords in Ishgard several generations in the past, the black sheep of the once prominent and proper family.

Unaware of their fortune to gain entrance to the city shortly before the gates were sealed to the outside world, their long lost relatives welcomed the family with the grudging acceptance of blood relatives. Unable to leave their past behind, Aya's parents adopted only the minimal necessary trappings of Ishgardian society. Refusing to abandon his pretensions her father quickly became a burden, followed by the eldest son intent upon claiming the trappings of an inheritance that had evaporated before his eyes. Loyal to a fault Aya's mother served her husband's every interest, pressing the children to accept his desires and command as they became ever less realistic. The two younger children grew closer to one another, as both proved more capable of adapting to their new social status.

The younger of Aya's brothers chose to become an apprentice weapon smith, planning to open his own shop and provide support for his parents, and if possible to repay the relatives to whom the entire family owes their survival. Aya meanwhile was drawn toward less productive, but equally rebellious endeavors. Despite their poverty, Aya's parents set her on the path to be schooled as a proper Lady befitting her station. Of the arts and manners she studied as a child, her favorite quickly became dancing. As an adolescent she embraced a social circle that skirted the edges of "acceptable" society, preferring the fun, excitement, attention, and notoriety to be found in the world of taverns, and underground clubs. Finding that she could earn gil as a dancer and entertainer Aya completely abandoned her ties to the social circles her parents still clung to in their vaingloriousness.

==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Flight, Gridania, and the Hungry Wolf</div> ====
[[File:Aya_stretch.jpg|left|thumb|Credit: Jack Swift]]
Facing increasing pressure from her parents, and feeling a general alienation toward the accepted culture of Ishgard, Aya made the life-changing decision to escape from the city. Once in the outside world she made her way to Gridania with a purse that rapidly grew bare. She managed to find employment at the Roost as a barmaid, where she was able to rent a room on a long-term basis. With an eye on greater prizes (and a blindness to the risks) she embraced the opportunity to find work as a sellsword with a Free Company she had come to know through work, thus Aya came to the Hungry Wolf.

Although she had mislead the Company on her experience and capability, Aya proved a quick study, albeit it a tentative combatant. Over the course of her several months long employment by the Hungry Wolf, she took part in a small number of actual combat operations, while generally avoiding dangerous assignments. Focused primarily on patrol and sentry work, she finished her time with the Company overseeing patrols that covered the Gridania to Coerthas road, stationed at Fallgourd Float. The work was mild, and she supplemented decreasing pay by entertaining at the local inn. As the company floundered financially, the remaining members were released from their employment.

==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Ul'dah: The Quick Sand</div> ====
Floating about without work, Aya returned to Gridania where she lived at the Roost, trying to make up her mind about what to do next, until expelled for failing to pay for her room. Desperate to find work again, and deciding it better to not further pursue her career as a mercenary, she decided to return to her previous employment, that of a barmaid. Deciding it unlikely that the Roost would turn around and offer her work so soon after the messy issue of her eviction, she opted to try a new city. Intimidated by Limsa's pirate culture, Aya opted to instead test the oppressive heat and culture of Ul'dah.

Momodi, the matron of the Quick Sand, the busiest drinking hole in the city of Ul'dah, and a hub of activity adventurous, legitimate, and illicit, saw potential in the young woman (perhaps believing that the tall blonde from the north might bring in business with her exotic looks) and quickly offered her a position as a barmaid. Along with a pittance of pay, she was provided with a small room (in the least desirable part of the building), board at discount, and the opportunity to keep any tips she would earn.

Aya's primary responsibility is tending to patrons sitting at the Quick Sand's tables, but she also sometimes assists customers at the bar itself, and can pour and mix some drinks to make things easier on Momodi. She's also been quick to help with the Quick Sand's menu, adding a variety of mixed fruit drinks (which she has come to consider something of a specialty), a variety of dishes, and nearly tripling the volume of Gridanian Mead sold with her frequent recommendation of the import.

[[File:aya_salute.png|500px|right]] In an united Morale and Recruitment campaign the Grand Companies of Eorzea are publishing a series of patriotic pin-up posters. They are available in both poster form, posted in public spaces across the cities and smaller settlements, and in magazine-sized pamphlets complete with reports on the Grand Companies, and information on either joining or volunteering time and material.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FFC0CB;font-size:18px;color:#000000;"><b>Combat</b></div> ==
<spoiler>
Although she is no longer a sell sword, Aya's training and experience with the Hungry Wolf remains a crucial aspect of who she is. She was also raised within a warrior family, and steeped in heroic tales of past conflict and heroism. She prefers to avoid conflict, and favors guile over violence, but she remains both mentally and physically better prepared for it than she would ever admit.

Aya's formal training in military skills has been as a Lancer. Accepting early lessons from the Wood Wailers, and later trained by the Hungry Wolf, she is naturally well-suited to the weapon. Physically fit and athletic she is able to utilize the leverage-advantage of the weapon to a great extent, while maintaining distance from her opponent. Although tentative to enter combat, once engaged she fights with a raw tenacity and viciousness that the Hungry Wolf seek to instill in all of their fighters. She would rather avoid danger if at all possible, but if forced she will kill or be killed. Quick and graceful she relies on rapid and precise movements en lieu of brute force, utilizing surprise and distraction to create opportunities to exploit with the goal of inflicting debilitating injuries. To utilize her impressive leg strength she makes frequent use of kicking and jumping attacks, often in conjunction with the lance to create difficult to defend sequences of strikes. Most experienced soldiers would still consider her an amateur, but one still capable of being a sometimes surprising threat in hand-to-hand combat.

She has been trained in standard Hungry Wolf military tactics which included basic forestry, and long-range small-group coordination. Stealth, ambush, and surprise-attack training has formed a major portion of her education in tactics.

*Strengths
:*<u>Spearwork</u> Training with the spear came late for her, but she has proven a natural with the weapon that helps leverage her natural talents while mitigating many of her weaknesses
:*<u>Single-Mindedness</u> The Hungry Wolf taught that combat was a last resort. It meant death or victory, and all fighters were taught to fight is if were their last. She shows no hesitation to maim or kill, aiming to neutralize each opponent by the most rapid means possible. She fights without rules or second thoughts.
:*<u>Speed</u> Trained for running speed and quickness she has not relented and can cover a remarkable amount of ground. This is most especially true in a forest environment.
:*<u>Grace</u> Always a danger first she is possessed of balance, grace, and core strength perhaps unusual for a warrior.
:*<u>Unpredictable</u> She never studied the finer details of spear technique, and instead drawn upon her talent in dancing and street fighting. Combined with her emphasis on misdirection and her lack of hesitation, this can make her a potentially dangerous foe even those vastly ore capable.
:*<u>Unarmed</u> Though no pugilist, she has always been an indefatigable scrapper and has brought some of that talent to her technique. Her use of elbows, knees, and most especially kicks, can provide dangerous and imbalancing to an unwary opponent.
:*<Healer> Her mother studied the Ala Mhigan arts of healing before marriage, and passed some of this knowledge onto her daughter. It is a mixture of first aid and basic knowledge in herbalism and the brewing of salves, and infusions. Some of the art may amount to minor conjury.

*Weaknesses
:*<u>Amateur</u> Despite her training and time with the Hungry Wolf she did not gain significant experience. She remains, at best, a talented amateur.
:*<u>Weakness</u> Although possessed of impressive overall strength, her upper body strength upon which a warrior most heavily relies, is lacking compared to most professionals.
:*<u>Non-Magical</u> The use and employment of magic is simply beyond her. She does not know its strengths, weaknesses, or limitations and readily believes every fanciful tale and boast she hears.
:*<u>Fashion</u> Though absurd, her fashion sense extends to her choice of battlefield equipment. Neither high heels nor figure-flattering armor make practical priorities on the battlefield and it cannot be denied that this puts her at a disadvantage in actual combat. Her father would not be proud.
:*<u>Unintimidating</u> The sight of Aya, even with spear in hand and steeled for battle, has never put anyone at unease.

:*"Aya? Never met her in the Quicksand; I first saw her in a bar outside of Ul'dah--Oh, you were asking what's ''special'' about her? Simple; it's what's beneath the looks. Afterall, she mananged to help ''me'' with a problem. Not often someone can do that for me." [[Elise Wolfe]]

:*"She was full of spirit and only got the gender wrong of one person in the group." *she snorted and chuckled for a sec "But you wont find a faster and harder worker." [[Amandine Gerraldieux]]

*'''Modelling'''
:*<u>Redolent Rose</u> A referral by one of her first customers at the Quick Sand earned Aya her first modelling work for Redolent Rose, one of Ul'dah's most prominent clothiers. She appeared in several shows for the Roegadyn, modelling that summer's new line of fashion.
:*<u>Piquant Pumpkin Cafe</u> Hired by the Pumpkin Maestro himself, Aya was a recurring feature of the monthly cafe and its advertisements. She typically appeared in a white skirt, top, and mask claiming to be a 'ghost'. This outfit skirted Cafe employee rules which mandated a red mask, but no one really seemed to mind.
:*<u>Dubious Distributions</u> It is rumored that Aya's friendship with [[Verad Bellveil]], proprietor of Ul'dah's Dubious Distributions resulted in the preparation of an entire campaign of advertising material that the reclusive Duskwight now keeps under lock and key. On the record he has denied the existence of a "Double D's for Double D" campaign in its entirety, but he has also been reportedly overheard muttering: ''"It really '''was''' amazing, but there is nothing whatsoever dubious about Miss Foxheart and I have a brand reputation to maintain."''
:*<u>Otto Vann's Fight Club</u> When Otto Vann and [[Berrod Armstrong]] organized a fighting competition hosted at Forgotten Springs, it was decided that a bikini clad Aya would be the perfect accompaniment. The competition was not long-lived, but was among one of her favorite jobs and she made friends of several acquaintances through it. Her duties were mostly easy, but she was asked to announce for several of the competitions.
:*<u>For Eorzea!</u> The most prominent campaign Aya has featured in. The Grand Companies of Eorzea hired her as the model for a series of motivational posters that were spread throughout the region to raise morale and boost recruitment. She was able to travel across Eorzea, meet interesting people, and have her image taken in beautiful locations in a myriad of outfits. It easily ranks among her most favorite experiences.
:*<u>[[Otto Vann]] Fashions</u> When it came time for Otto Vann's much anticipated venture into Gridanian fashion, the model chosen to lead the effort was Aya Foxheart, riding the wave of popularity that followed the For Eorzea! campaign. She was employed to appear in almost daily shows and outings in one of the most intense fashion campaigns since the Calamity. The schedule was grueling, but Aya loved the opportunity to return to Gridania and especially enjoyed Vann's mixture of his trademark risque styling with the more conservative and natural tones of Shroud Sensibility.

*'''Performances and Appearances'''
:*<u>Fallgourd Float</u> During a period of transition Aya performed several times a week in Fallgourd Float's tavern. These shows lasted a few months before she moved on.
:*<u>Celebration of the Fury</u> A celebration of Halone hosted by [[Jancis Milburga]]. Aya recited, ''A Sonnet for the Fury''. This event marked Aya's first return to Coerthas since her escape. Honoring the Fury was natural but not without hesitation: her words reflected just that.
[[File:aya_chach_tonberry.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2.0|A Tonberry's Love]]
:*<u>A Court of Cards Talent Competition</u> The Vylbrand and Soliloquy hosted this themed talent show. Aya's first public performance since arriving in Ul'dah. She sang and danced to the tune of a ''The Two of Hearts'', a light-hearted love song of her own composition. Her performance was not well received, perhaps a little too risque for the audience.
:*<u>Celebration of the First Snow</u> [[Nathan Telluride]] hosted this celebration in Coerthas to mark the start of the winter season. Aya recited, ''First Snow'', a poem of her composition, and performed a choreographed dance with the accompaniment of a pair of musicians. Her dance interpreted the falling of a snow flake, with the interplay between the gentle tone of a violin, and the intrusions of a gale-like flute.
:*<u>A Show of Hearts</u> [[Nathan Telluride]] and [[Ciel Sauveterre]] hosted this celebration of the maddest forms of love. Aya performed a light-hearted song and dance of her own composition: "A Tonberry's Love". She was accompanied by a musician, and by the star guest appearance of [[Chachanji Gegenji]] who appeared in full costume as the song's title Tonberry, giving chase throughout Aya's performance of the song.
:*<u>Wayfarer's Poetry Competition</u> [[L'rinhi Kett]]'s Wayfarer Tavern hosted a contest of poetry. Aya composed and wrote an ode to the migratory flight of birds and the imagery she associates with it. The poem, "Won't you stay with me little bird?" won the contests First Prize, including a gil reward far beyond Aya's usual means.

<center><u><b>Little Bird's Song</b></u><br>
<i>O, dear little bird! Sit and sing now for me?<br>
Tell me what it is like? What it is you have seen?<br>
Just how high can you fly? Just how far can you see?<br>
Of where you have come? And what lies between.<br>
Of fresh breaking Spring, the fall of warm rain,<br>
Of lifting grey fog stirred over the dale,<br>
Of rising sun's light 'cross broad open plain,<br>
Of winter thaw's sound in deep river vale.<br>
Of oceans wide calm and rivers loud roar,<br>
Of frost's nipping cold, which drove your long flight<br>
From where you were born, learned to sing, and to soar<br>
Now homeward you're bound, after winter's long night<br>
And here just to stay, to rest tired wing.<br>
So lucky we are, to hear the bird sing.</i></center>

Note: These are characteristic behaviors that Aya always displays, even when not indicated directly through emotes.
[[File:aya_selfie.jpg|400px|right]]
* Her body language is graceful and feminine.
* She speaks with an Ishgardian accent
* When dealing with someone who she believes is from the Ishgardian Houses, her manner will be considerably less friendly than usual
* At times hints of a sharp intellect can be found behind all of the bright, silly cluelessness

Her childhood friend. Though they've been close throughout the years and even find themselves side by side as they traveled to Ul'dah, it has been difficult to close the bridge that stretches between them because of his two year disappearance and refusal to speak much about it. Recently he took the chance of telling her said reasons at long last but it only resulted in her despair .. as of now, they're not speaking to each other. They haven't spoken in moons but she wrote him a farewell letter, apologizing and sharing her daydream of what would come to pass should things have occurred differently.

A charming face she fell for during her time at the Grindstone. Though their relationship started out much like a dream, things began to turn sour once she took notice of how different his ideals were from hers and how affectionate he was toward others. Even though she braced herself for an eventual end - she hadn't expected it to be so abrupt and heart breaking; confessing he had a repeated affair with her closest friend and intent of joining her relationship with another man. They haven't spoken since her return and though refuses to speak about him, she's yet to find it within herself to forgive him.

She first met this miqo'te when sparring with Berrod, thinking little of him first until he began to demonstrate a darkness that hung about his aura when the fight grew more violent. What she noticed about his persona, in her mind, wasn't restrained very well and bid her comrades to be cautious around him. It wasn't until the incident of the Astral Agent's however that brought her dislike of him to full bloom. It wasn't made known to her that he was an ally when he decided to fight Draco and gravely harm her, forcing the midlander to strike him through the shoulder and ear with an arrow in means to stop him. Since then, she realized her mistake but refuses to deny that he is childish and dangerous.

Nathan's literally blind date. During a little 'game' Nathan and Lottie had been playing, adopting different personas and pretending to bicker with each other, Brianna took the midlander seriously and began to barrage her with the believe that she was truly as snobby as she behaved and intended to harm her. Thankfully, Nathan had stopped any aggression but they still wouldn't come together on even grounds. The highlander's loud voice, crude tongue and immature attitude had rubbed Lottie the wrong way and both are adamant to say little to each other except passing insults - much to Nathan's amusement.

==Character==
<center>[[File:Draco3.png|center|300px|]]</center>
<center>''"I know what I am. A Knight for Eorzea. A Judge of the sinners and the accursed that would threaten my people. I will use my curse as my boon, and fight forever for the ones I love. And once my task is complete, and my people are safe...I too will fade, and my plague of darkness will no longer stain this realm of light." - Draco Nobis''</center>

===General===

Draco is a Knight of Eorzea. He holds his duty and honor above most other things, making him a humble and self-sacrificing man. He has fought long and hard for most of his life, watching things he cared about come and go. He desires nothing more than to protect the people he's known for so long. His blade is Blackened with the burdens of Eorzea, and with it he strikes down her foes.

===Name===
:'''Given Name:''' Draco Nobis
:'''Nicknames and Aliases:''' To some he is still known as 'Dartanon', his brother's name. To some civilians, and warriors who have seen him but do not know his name, he is referred to as 'The Judge'.

===Appearance===

Draco is a keeper of the moon, with light blue skin and black hair. He slicks his hair back neatly, and trims his small beard. Stress and age have grayed him slightly, as well as adding a few wrinkles to his stern face, but his youthfulness still shows. Despite his constant jesting about old age, he hardly looks it. He stands at roughly 5'7", and has a build that could only belong to a Knight. His figure is chiseled and muscular, while maintaining an almost athletic size. He used to wear an armor of reinforced steel, but was given a set of modified Garlean Magitek armor recently, and chooses to wear it.

===Speech===

Draco speaks in a baritone, his accent being noticeable. He speaks with the refinement and tone of one who was raised in a noble house, as he was. While he carries himself like a Knight, his voice dictates his humility, and even at times his odd sense of humor. His voice often sounds contemplative or serious, when he's around strangers, speaking in short sentences, or lecturing full out. While he doesn't INTEND to be overbearing, he more than often times sticks his own foot in his mouth by debating silly things.

===Behavior===

Draco is chivalrous and polite, and to a certain few he can be quite dashing and charming, however he always prides himself on being proper at all times. Irritating him isn't an easy feat, although argumentative and people who overly enjoy 'fun' tend to grind his nerves. Draco is also cool and calm. His demeanor is gentle and intelligent, making him capable of soothing words, or sharp rebukes. His age brings with him a certain wisdom to life and logic, even if his social skills are lacking in most departments. His chief goal is to protect the ones he cares about. He will even go so far as to sustain injury for a companion, although his tactical mind usually finds a way to get them both out relatively unscathed. Whether it be with his wit or his blade, dueling Draco is always a learning experience.

At the same time, Draco has a hidden rage inside of him. The darkness that rests in his soul can make him completely turn in personality. If injured enough, or insulted enough, to trigger this change, he becomes an aggressive monster. His darkness manifests itself as Black Magic and Black armor, a curse he has lost control over before. The darkness eats at him slowly, wearing away at his personality, making him quicker to rage. While in his darkened state, he will turn on friend and foe alike. He sees everyone as his enemy, and will do everything he can to defeat them. Power is the first thing on his mind in this state, making him more cruel and manipulative. Fortunately, it is easily broken by the right people, and it is often times short lived if not. When Darkness takes full control, there is no saving him without diving into his very soul to pry his heart from the clutches of the Darkness.

Draco thinks everyone is capable of good. Even some Garleans. He does what he can to prove it to them. Chief example would be is complicated trials and relationship with Sophia Grave. His stubborn outlook on life often times makes him hard to dissuade or easy to trick. Taking advantage of his optimism is the easiest way to lower his defenses. His social skills are also lacking, when it comes to areas outside of civilized gatherings.

:'''Motivations:''' Helping those in need. He is a knight first and foremost, putting his own desires aside to protect the ones he cares about. There is one person that makes him want to be selfish, though.

:'''Disposition:''' Calm, charming, polite, and usually friendly. He is capable of stern tone, however, and can become short with people who annoy him.

:'''Outlook:''' "Everyone is worth protecting. Even my enemies."

===Positive Personality Traits===

Tactical, confident, intelligent, Polite, eloquent, cultured, protective, sympathetic, and usually keeps calm and collected. Willing to die or sustain injury for those he considers worthy of it.

===Negative Personality Traits===

Stubborn, easily tricked into believing someone is good, can succumb to darkness, has poor social skills in easy going company.

==Combat==

Draco is a knight, therefore he is trained in a several martial practices. He knows how to use a Polearm, Sword and shield combo, or two-handed sword effectively and efficiently. While he prefers his Polearm over anything, he is more likely to start with his sword. The agility and maneuverability of the sword suit his purposes better, for quickly defeating a foe. His hand to hand combat is actually rather lacking. While he can hold his own if disarmed, any skilled pugilist would be quick to dispose of his brawling style. His physical strength easily exceeds that of a regular Miqo'te, while allowing him to keep most of the same agility. Heavy armor often times slows him down however. He prefers to fight without a shield, making his defense slightly under par. His offense is quick, intent on destroying or disarming his opponent, before they can slip past his guard.

===Primary Weaponry===
:* [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Mailbreaker A Mailbreaker longsword] forged by a friend of [[Sophia Grave]]'s, and modified for Draco's two handed style.

:* "Oblivion," a great sword named after the corruption Draco used to hold, and a constant reminder of what he could have become. He rarely draws Oblivion from it's scabbard, and will instead fight with it sheathed. The blade is black.

:* "The Black Blade," A longsword stained by the ashes of his guilt, the blade is black like Oblivion's, and was recently replaced by the Mailbreaker. He keeps it on hand for ceremonial purposes.

:* "Yami," A Katana forged by [[Yuki Kurenai]]. Draco isn't really trained to use Katanas, so it's a backup weapon at the moment.

:* The Darkness. Draco draws his dark power from a type of aether corruption. Despite original speculations, it is not tied to the void. Instead, it appears elemental in nature, feeding on negative energy or powerful violent energies. He manipulates it with his desire to protect, at any cost. It grants him several abilities.

===Darkness===

Draco's Dark Aether allow him to do certain things as a Dark Knight. His current list of powers is as such.

*:'''Dark Fire/Firaga''': A darker and corrupt version of Fire. It's burn isn't as bad as it's impact, however, as it generates more of a small explosion than any actual flames. Draco can change the intensity to certain levels, but usually goes all out to eliminate the target.

*:'''Dark Blizzard/Blizzaga''': A corrupted version of Blizzard. Draco usually uses it on the ground, to cause jagged spikes of dark ice to rise up and pierce his targets. He can also use it to freeze an enemy. While generally more dangerous than a blizzard attack, and spreading over a larger area, the spell cannot be directed especially well. Where the spikes point is often times random. This makes Draco use it more as a barrier than anything else.

*:'''Dark Thunder''': Generally the weakest of Draco's attacks. It carries the same properties of a regular Thunder spell, with amplified juice from the corruption. Dart will rarely use it.

*:'''Dark Shield''': A corrupted version of Protect/Reflect. It forms a shield in front of, or around, Draco to protect him from oncoming attacks. It's rather strong, and can take a lot of punishment. However, it cannot be spread to others and he cannot move while it is up. The only way it can give benefit to others, is if they're standing very close to Draco as he casts it.

*:'''Gravity''': A magic spell that releases an orb of Aether that increases the gravity of the area it consumes. It generally is used to force people to submit, as it only causes discomfort from the added weight.

*:'''Eruption''': A Dark Fire based attack. It comes in two varieties. Draco can launch small spheres of Dark Fire in an arc in front of him, then rapidly detonate them to cause damage over a wide area. They're easy to see coming, and easy to dodge if the person is capable. They can also be reflected back at Draco, if the person is capable of doing so. The second method is focusing the corrupted Aether into his arm or hand and getting close to his target. It carries the force of one of the explosive Firagas, and condenses in his hand before exploding outward in a cone. The downside being, it will damage Draco as well.

*:'''Nightmare''': A dark version of sleep. When cast, it sends out a massive wave of 'Sleep', sending the target(s) into a state of haunting slumber. It brings forth their fears as they sleep, weakening them and making them harder to wake. The downside being, the wave has to make contact with the target, and can be countered with magic. Casting a standard sleep spell on the target, then waking them can negate it as well. If the person has no current fears, it can't enact nightmares.

*:'''Dark Corridor''': Much like a hole to the void, Draco can open gateways to other locations. It requires him to have some sort of connection with the location however, such as having been there or being able to see it physically. Leaving behind traces of his corruption, or having someone that he can connect to makes it easier. Doing this used to be very taxing on Draco, but he's now able to do it freely in short bursts. However, if he abuses it and opens Corridors frequently, it will more often than not make him unable to move after the casting. If there's no connection to link a Corridor to, Draco can force them open and drop himself, or someone else through. It will expend most of his Aether to do so, and is ill advised.

*:'''Aetherial Armor''': Draco concentrates almost all of his aether to the outside of his body, forming armor that amplifies his strength and durability. He's powerful while using it, but also more volatile, sacrificing focus and reasoning for rage and strength. The armor can only be sustained for a limited amount of time, and once dropped, will disperse all the aether used to create it. This leaves Draco in a vulnerable state, as he's left with barely enough aether to remain conscious. This move, if used at all, will only be used as a last resort. To a smaller degree, he can use a small amount of Aether to create a mask over his face, which he does almost every day. Unlike the armor, it only provides some protection to his face and doesn't amplify anything aside from sight.

==History==
===Family===

Draco was born to Tavus Nobis, and Jennete Nobis. A Miqo'te and Hyur pair that originated in Ishgard. Tavus had befriended an Elezen noble, before Draco and his older brother were born, and they both decided to leave the cold land of Ishgard. The Elezen Lord and Tavus had a secret, however, that Draco to this day is trying to determine. They gathered volunteers in Gridania, and settled in a remote area. They created a small Fiefdom, naming their own Knights and nobility. It took effort, but they were eventually recognized as a noble house, and left well enough alone. When Dartanon and Draco were born, their father already had their life planned out for them. Dartanon, being the eldest, was trained from an early age to be a Knight. Lessons in etiquette, swordplay, tactics, and culture were pumped into his brain, much to Draco's displeasure. The younger brother took it upon himself to try and help Dartanon have fun, taking him out to have 'adventures', which mainly just involved getting in trouble. However, Tavus quickly straightened it out by increasing the intensity of Dart's Knight training, and beginning training for the reluctant Draco. There was only one path laid out for the boys, in the eyes of their father. The path of a soldier.

Years passed, and Draco and his brother grew apart as Dart became a somewhat cold and harsh warrior. He paid little mind to anything other than his honor and legacy, looking down on anyone that wasn't himself or his father. Unfortunately, this included his younger brother. Over the years, Draco attempted to run away on more than one occasion. However, on his last attempt, his mother stopped him and gave him a small story book. It told stories of Knights of legend. Draco latched onto these stories and aspired to be like those Knights. He took to his training and soon surpassed Dartanon, much to his father and brother's dismay. At the age of twenty and eighteen, Dartanon andd Draco were finally knighted, taking upon themselves their swords and it's oaths. The ceremony felt pointless though. All it meant to Draco was, he was one step closer to his goal. He wasn't doing this for his father. The years continued and the tension between the two brothers was growing. Something had happened to Draco, spurring a Darkness to fester in his soul. He and Dartanon ended up getting into fights, resulting in minor injuries and scars to both of them. Seeing this, their mother decided it'd be best for the two to stay as far apart as possible.

When the Garleans invaded, Draco, Dartanon, and the knights of their home were sent out with Gridanian forces to combat them. It was a long campaign for the Miqo'te brothers, causing more stress between them. Draco valued the lives of his men more than victory, while Dartanon viewed the soldiers as fodder to throw at the enemy until one side collapsed, like tools to cast into battle. This all culminated to one final moment the two brothers shared. Dartanon had discovered a Garlean artillery unit that was threatening to collapse a flank. He ordered Draco to take his men and join Dartanon on a charge to crush it head on. Draco, however, wanted to flank around the guns and take them out. It would take a little longer, but it'd minimize casualties for their men. Dartanon argued and demanded it be done his way before going off to lead the charge. Draco, angered by his brother's stubbornness, decided to do his own plan. He led his soldiers around, abandoning Dartanon as the older brother charged the Garlean forces. When Draco returned from destroying the artillery unit, he came across the corpses of his brother's unit. Horrified, Draco went to see if he could find his brother, Dartanon. Laying in the dirt, barely clinging to life, was the older Knight. Draco ran to him and tried to get him back to camp, but it was too late. With his dying breath, Dartanon cursed Draco's name and blamed him for the death that had just happened. While part of Draco knew he would have shared Dartanon's fate had he joined him on this charge, the guilt was overriding his logic. Torn apart by grief, the darkness festered more and latched onto his now broken soul. Draco had to do something though. The men wouldn't answer to him, at least not all of them. They needed Dartanon. Steeling his resolve, he came to one conclusion. As penance and punishment, Draco would die on this field. He took his brother's armor and helmet, donning them and returning to camp to lead his men under the guise of his brother. He was no longer Draco. Now HE was Dartanon.

When Dalamud fell, Draco's Knight order was in shambles, only a handful having survived. He led these survivors back, as well as the wrapped body of his brother, to his home only to find it too was in ruins and its inhabitants dead. Sorrow seemed permanently latched to Draco's life. With no family, and no home, he disbanded his knights to set out into Eorzea. He'd do what he could to help rebuild this once great nation, as penance for his sins. If one Nobis was left standing, he wanted it to be the hero 'Dartanon'. He'd just have to live as someone he wasn't.

==Recent Events==

===Black Blade Arc===

When everything in Eorzea was mostly restored, Draco slowed down in his adventures. He had just turned 38, and wasn't exactly full of his youthful energy. He met several groups, and helped them out as they needed it, but mostly kept to himself. Only a few people, he kept in constant contact with. Val Nunh, Faye Covington, Jethas Zykyri, and oddly enough Sophia Grave. His meeting with the Garlean wasn't the most...productive. It resulted in him being stabbed, but he got a good look at the kind of person she was. He was intrigued, finding someone so much like himself. He was determined to 'save' her from her Garlean ways, but eventually found himself falling for her. Unfortunately, fate had a funny way of working out. When the company Draco was in, at the time, disbanded, he started wandering once more. He figured it'd be better for everyone. When he eventually did return...His friends showed him just how much they missed him, with affectionate slaps, punches, and calling him 'stupid for thinking that way'. It was a good day.

Draco retired from the wandering Knight business, for a time. He figured he might as well try to stay in contact with these people, since they were so determined to keep him around. He was growing closer to Jethas and Sophia, one which he viewed as a brother, and the other which he was falling harder for. Just when things started looking up, Fate decided to intervene again when the Darkness began to stir in him, developing it's own self. It became an everlasting presence in him, trying to rob control from the Knight. Draco figured he was strong enough to overcome it. He started medling in Black Magic, but found himself overwhelmed. When a strong burst of anger caused Draco to lose control, he had to flee once more. He was afraid he might hurt the ones he cared about. When Draco returned, he was surprised to find a repeat of his last welcome home. He had honestly thought he was forgotten. Draco decided to stay again, hopefully for good this time, relying on his friends to help him if he lost his way again.

Things with Sophia began developing quicker, once Draco returned. Confessing his feelings, with some awkward help from Val Nunh, was very difficult, but eventually he managed to do it. He was happy to find them returned, and endeavored to make the most of things, despite their differences in allegiance. It wasn't long before Draco found himself somewhat alone in Eorzea, though. Val and Faye were warry of him, now that he was with Sophia, and Jethas had his own issues to solve. After some convincing, Draco agreed to become Sophia's partner and help her with her Garlean tasks. He refuses to swear loyalty the Garleans, but he will do whatever it takes to protect Sophia. Even if things have been rough, for them, he is stubborn and determined. A few incidents with the Darkness rising up seems to be setting the course...It will have to be dealt with soon.

===Branded Arc===

Draco spent most of his time with Sophia after his return. From her, he learned about the Branded residents of Cliffperch. While his initial reception was met with caution and distrust, he remained as the volunteer guard outside the gate to the house. He had no shard, and thus wasn't allowed INTO the house, but he met several of the Aeon Branded through his partner. For several days, Draco observed and protected the people of Cliffperch, almost jumping on the chance to be active again. Sitting in a bar was no place for a Knight, for the rest of his life. While there were a few bumps in his stay, including an altercation between Draco and the young woman Zuri Bacchus over the Miqo'te's partner, and a temporary loss of control with the Darkness, Draco felt happy and alive. He had people to protect once more, that he felt needed it.

Draco found himself increasingly intrigued by the shards that allowed the Branded to communicate. He tried to gather information on it, but his skills in passive interrogation were...lacking. Deciding to give up for a little, Draco made a trip back through Thanalan towads Ul'dah proper. His Darkness was suppressed by a tonic Sophia had made, so he took advantage of the time to get some training in. As he ventured, he came across a man being attacked by bandits. Draco tried his best to save the man, but unfortunately the traveler's wounds were too great, and Draco was no healer. The man died shortly after the bandit were dispatched. Unbeknownst to Draco, the dead traveler was branded, and his shard had jumped to the nearest host. With a shard now in his body, Draco returned to Cliffperch, blissfully unaware.

The Darkness, in its weakened state, noticed the link first and hid it from Draco, making sure the knight couldn't use it clearly yet. It used the link to examine several people. When Draco assisted Varus in collecting shards and a demonic power, the Darkness was forcefully stirred awake, beginning to slowly gain power again. This activated Draco's rune, and allowed him to hear the link, although the Darkness made it difficult. Through the activation of his shard, Draco was allowed into Cliffperch. Surprisingly, Zuri was the one to help him with it, and tell him what to do. Through their talks, they both realised that Draco's Ishgardian mother was Zuri's aunt. Draco was effectively in a light daze. Over a short time, he discovered a surviving family member, and gained a deeper connection to others. How this would effect him remains unknown.

===What Once Was Arc===

Draco revealed to the others his past and who he really was, giving up the name Dartanon and letting his brother finally rest in entirety. With the help of Zuri, Sophia, and Flickering Ember, Oblivion was defeated and Draco's soul was re-united. He was in full control of the Darkness in him, now. However, the task awoke memories in Draco that hinted to the source of his dark powers. Originally, he would have let it go, but he felt like the mystery of his darkness was still a burden on others. He decided to leave Cliffperch until he could solve the mystery of his family, the Lord they served, and his own corruption. He resides now in Coerthas, staying with a friend of his that had gone through something similar with void corruption. Together, they hunt for answers.

Draco acts now as a wandering Knight again, searching across Eorzea for answers. Wearing modified Garlean armor, given to him by Liliana, and a mask to hide his face, he seeks to use his powers to protect the people of Eorzea once more. He was planning on assisting Lacey Orwell with a mission she was putting together, but she had set off without him. He followed her in secret, to a location with Garlean supplies she was trying to secure. He intercepted a Garlean squad moving to reinforce the scientist and his men, when Lacey and her friends attacked. After a battle, he had to kill all the Garleans that he engaged, before leaving. He worries now that it may have a negative outcome, but he'd set on a path he couldn't come back from. He was beginning to understand that sometimes in battle...he couldn't spare his enemy.

==Relationships==
===Enemies===

Draco has few personal enemies, although his standings with the Garlean Empire are currently shakey at best. He has dislike towards [[Lanza Razaul]] and would consider him one of his foes. [[Varus Rosenthal]] and [[Rukira Michaelis]] are enemies of his, although the former is missing, and he isn't currently in conflict with the latter, although again their relationship is tense.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Sophia Grave]]''' - A young Ul'dahn woman with a rather charming appearance and mannerisms. While a woman of many secrets, and formerly an enemy of the Miqo'te Knight, Sophia grave found a way into his heart. While he is afraid to openly admit to her, he cares for her greatly. His urge to protect her is greater than most. Their first interactions together were...violent. She stabbed him, put simply. But once they fought with their wits, instead of their swords, they realized they were more like each other than they thought. Over time, Draco fell harder for Sophia and eventually confessed his affections. They became partners and lovers, working together for a common goal of peace against the Primals and war. In recent events, Draco's war on the Garleans that kidnapped and experimented on Eorzean civilians, drove a wedge between Draco and Sophia. After catching her in the act of breaking into a comrade's room, he spoke to her in Ul'dah, and they went their separate ways as unfortunate enemies. While Draco once more hardens his resolve to protect his people, he doubts he'd be able to bring himself to fully confront his once lover. Deep in his mind, he still cares for the Garlean, and wishes the outcome had been different.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''[[Jethas Zykyri]]''' - A Miqo'te that befriended Draco while he served in the Phoenix Collective. One of Draco's only real friends, Draco thinks of him almost like a brother. They bicker and tease each other, making him one of the few that Draco enjoys himself around and lets loose a little with. Jethas always seemed to look out for Draco, making sure he never stepped into something he couldn't handle...Even if Jethas had to scold or beat on Draco first.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Faye Covington]]''' - The Hyur Midlander woman, Faye Covington, didn't make the best first impression with Draco. He first met her and her mate when he intercepted a fight on a bridge outside Ul'dah. He received a wound for his troubles, and made two new...friends of sorts. Over time, Draco began to respect Faye. She carried herself with grace, at least from what he had seen, and her care and affection for her mate inspired him. He soon found himself visiting them more frequently, and even saved their lives from a Garlean ambush in the forest. He considers Faye another one of his true friends.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Val Nunh]]''' - Val Nunh and Draco had a rough start. They met by fighting, Draco receiving an injury. Neither Miqo'te saw eye to eye after that, constantly being wary around the other, whether it was Val's thuggish attitude, or Draco's open distaste for it. Eventually, as it happened with Faye Covington, Draco soon began to respect the Miqo'te bodyguard. Val showed the utmost loyalty, and flat out love for Faye. Draco soon saw that the Miqo'te wasn't nearly as bad and untrustworthy as he had thought. He even attempted to help him become more 'Knightly' and chivalrous for Faye...but that didn't quite work. While Val's mannerism's changed slightly, he still carried that manner of speech that drove Draco up the wall.

: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Augustine Frost]]''' - Augustine was a Mercenary that met Draco in one of the most...bizarre ways. While Draco was conversing with an Elezen woman, Augustine just walked up and complimented her legs. Thinking that Augustine was a poor lovestruck man in need of courting advice, Draco befriended him and tried to help him get with the Elezen, Tassine. However, their relationship didn't work in the end. Draco and Augustine don't see each other as frequently, but they do converse now and again.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Tassine Gouvieux]]''' - An elegant and beautiful Elezen. She is a woman of high standing, and one that easily earned the admiration and respect of Draco. While his meeting with her wasn't exactly at a noble gathering, it was enjoyable. He doesn't get to see her as often as he wishes, but he tries to keep in contact and offer assistance when he can.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''[[Liliana Nazareth]]''' - A kind and lovely Sharlayan woman that Draco met on pure chance. He had been there when [[Paradyme Capellago]] pulled her from the void. He had tried to remove her corruption, but had failed. A long time later, and he was present to help her give birth to her daughter, Dawn, along with Sophia Grave and her brother, with a Doman girl there as well. He hadn't seen her again for some time until he encountered her in Coerthas, after her breakup with Paradyme. He comforted her as best he could, going out to visit her when he could since he could sympathize with her plight. At the moment, he stays in her home in Coerthas, helping watch out for her children and to make sure she's safe. He also uses her home as a forward base in Coerthas, for his investigation into his family's past. Once he had earned the name 'Judge' he left her home in Coerthas, so he wouldn't be in her way any longer. He watches over her and her children in secret, although he finds himself leaving her be in the wake of her wedding with Paradyme.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zaku Paku]]''' - At the moment Draco and Zaku, also known as Zaku Degenwulf, are not on good terms. Neither trusts the others, and Draco doesn't believe their relationship can be mended anymore. When Draco first joined Aeon, Zaku was the first to welcome and greet him. When the Lalafel became a Highlander, he changed. In Draco's opinion, it was for the worse. Zaku's temper and berserk tendencies matched Draco's, when he was under the influence of Oblivion. It worries him. Because of Zaku's quick rise to violence, Draco watches him with caution. He's prepared to fight if he has to.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Lacey Orwell]]''' - Lacey and Draco didn't exactly hang out all that much, but he would consider her a friend. He met her after the 'death' of Varus, as she was one of his agents. She tried to get close to Zaku, for information from the Flames. Draco was suspicious of her at first, but didn't approve of either her methods or Zaku's once he caught on. When she denounced her ties to Varus, she joined Aeon, where Draco tried to help her settle. The Ex-Garlean Agent then tried to mend Draco's relationship with Zaku, but it didn't end well. Lacey worked with and assisted Draco a few times before departing from Aeon.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Hotaru Gin]]''' - Gin met Draco under odd circumstances. She had met him through Sebastian Grave, Sophia's brother, in Ul'dah. They met with Liliana and her at-the-time boyfriend Paradyme, and just happened to be there when the Sharlayan went into labor. Gin helped deliver the baby, and Draco was forced to watch...it was terrible. After that, Draco encountered Gin multiple times, and did what he could to find her when she was captured by a Garlean agent. He wasn't the one to rescue her, but he acted as her confidante before and after the rescue. They both shared secrets, and grew closer. Draco considers her a close friend, despite some of their differing opinions, and would aid her where he could.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Lanza Razaul]]''' - Not much can be said for the relationship between Lanza and Draco, aside from the fact that both parties do not like each other in the slightest. Lanza seems intent on fighting Draco to the death. Draco was originally out for Lanza's blood, after he thought the lancer had murdered Liliana. However, after learning that it was on Liliana's request, and after [[C'eleni Meztli]] pleaded for Lanza's life, Draco decided to call off his mission of vengeance. Lanza, however, is adamant that the two will fight. Draco may just have to kill Lanza in self defense in the end.

==History/Timeline==

TBA

==Affiliations==

Draco was a knight to an Elezen house before the Calamity. Afterwards, he wandered Eorzea as a Mercenary Knight, in league with the Mercenary Guilds. From there, he joined the Phoenix Collective, a Free Company led by the twins Dirosei and Azreyal. He never quite fit in, so he still worked by himself when he could. He decided to leave one day, and returned to find the company gone. His old friend Jethas had started his own with another former member, the Order of the Ravenstar. Draco decided to stay with him for the time being, joining up to protect his friends once more. When he lost control of the Darkness within him, Draco fled and broke ties with the Ravenstar. When he returned, he reunited with Sophia and began voluntarily guarding her and her free company. He works to protect the Branded of Aeon, unknowingly sharing more with them than he realized.

==OOC Information==

-Draco is no longer on good terms with the Garlean Empire, and is employed in fighting against them again.
-Draco openly uses his Darkness now that Oblivion has been defeated, employing his abilities to help protect people.

===General===

Draco is a Knight of Eorzea. He holds his duty and honor above most other things, making him a humble and self-sacrificing man. He has fought long and hard for most of his life, watching things he cared about come and go. He desires nothing more than to protect the people he's known for so long. His blade is Blackened with the burdens of Eorzea, and with it he strikes down her foes.

===Name===
:'''Given Name:''' Draco Nobis
:'''Nicknames and Aliases:''' To some he is still known as 'Dartanon', his brother's name. To some civilians, and warriors who have seen him but do not know his name, he is referred to as 'The Judge'.

===Appearance===

Draco is a keeper of the moon, with light blue skin and black hair. He slicks his hair back neatly, and trims his small beard. Stress and age have grayed him slightly, as well as adding a few wrinkles to his stern face, but his youthfulness still shows. Despite his constant jesting about old age, he hardly looks it. He stands at roughly 5'7", and has a build that could only belong to a Knight. His figure is chiseled and muscular, while maintaining an almost athletic size. He used to wear an armor of reinforced steel, but was given a set of modified Garlean Magitek armor recently, and chooses to wear it.

===Speech===

Draco speaks in a baritone, his accent being noticeable. He speaks with the refinement and tone of one who was raised in a noble house, as he was. While he carries himself like a Knight, his voice dictates his humility, and even at times his odd sense of humor. His voice often sounds contemplative or serious, when he's around strangers, speaking in short sentences, or lecturing full out. While he doesn't INTEND to be overbearing, he more than often times sticks his own foot in his mouth by debating silly things.

===Behavior===

Draco is chivalrous and polite, and to a certain few he can be quite dashing and charming, however he always prides himself on being proper at all times. Irritating him isn't an easy feat, although argumentative and people who overly enjoy 'fun' tend to grind his nerves. Draco is also cool and calm. His demeanor is gentle and intelligent, making him capable of soothing words, or sharp rebukes. His age brings with him a certain wisdom to life and logic, even if his social skills are lacking in most departments. His chief goal is to protect the ones he cares about. He will even go so far as to sustain injury for a companion, although his tactical mind usually finds a way to get them both out relatively unscathed. Whether it be with his wit or his blade, dueling Draco is always a learning experience.

At the same time, Draco has a hidden rage inside of him. The darkness that rests in his soul can make him completely turn in personality. If injured enough, or insulted enough, to trigger this change, he becomes an aggressive monster. His darkness manifests itself as Black Magic and Black armor, a curse he has lost control over before. The darkness eats at him slowly, wearing away at his personality, making him quicker to rage. While in his darkened state, he will turn on friend and foe alike. He sees everyone as his enemy, and will do everything he can to defeat them. Power is the first thing on his mind in this state, making him more cruel and manipulative. Fortunately, it is easily broken by the right people, and it is often times short lived if not. When Darkness takes full control, there is no saving him without diving into his very soul to pry his heart from the clutches of the Darkness.

Draco thinks everyone is capable of good. Even some Garleans. He does what he can to prove it to them. Chief example would be is complicated trials and relationship with Sophia Grave. His stubborn outlook on life often times makes him hard to dissuade or easy to trick. Taking advantage of his optimism is the easiest way to lower his defenses. His social skills are also lacking, when it comes to areas outside of civilized gatherings.

:'''Motivations:''' Helping those in need. He is a knight first and foremost, putting his own desires aside to protect the ones he cares about. There is one person that makes him want to be selfish, though.

:'''Disposition:''' Calm, charming, polite, and usually friendly. He is capable of stern tone, however, and can become short with people who annoy him.

:'''Outlook:''' "Everyone is worth protecting. Even my enemies."

===Positive Personality Traits===

Tactical, confident, intelligent, Polite, eloquent, cultured, protective, sympathetic, and usually keeps calm and collected. Willing to die or sustain injury for those he considers worthy of it.

===Negative Personality Traits===

Stubborn, easily tricked into believing someone is good, can succumb to darkness, has poor social skills in easy going company.

==Combat==

Draco is a knight, therefore he is trained in a several martial practices. He knows how to use a Polearm, Sword and shield combo, or two-handed sword effectively and efficiently. While he prefers his Polearm over anything, he is more likely to start with his sword. The agility and maneuverability of the sword suit his purposes better, for quickly defeating a foe. His hand to hand combat is actually rather lacking. While he can hold his own if disarmed, any skilled pugilist would be quick to dispose of his brawling style. His physical strength easily exceeds that of a regular Miqo'te, while allowing him to keep most of the same agility. Heavy armor often times slows him down however. He prefers to fight without a shield, making his defense slightly under par. His offense is quick, intent on destroying or disarming his opponent, before they can slip past his guard.

===Primary Weaponry===
:* [http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Mailbreaker A Mailbreaker longsword] forged by a friend of [[Sophia Grave]]'s, and modified for Draco's two handed style.

:* "Oblivion," a great sword named after the corruption Draco used to hold, and a constant reminder of what he could have become. He rarely draws Oblivion from it's scabbard, and will instead fight with it sheathed. The blade is black.

:* "The Black Blade," A longsword stained by the ashes of his guilt, the blade is black like Oblivion's, and was recently replaced by the Mailbreaker. He keeps it on hand for ceremonial purposes.

:* "Yami," A Katana forged by [[Yuki Kurenai]]. Draco isn't really trained to use Katanas, so it's a backup weapon at the moment.

:* The Darkness. Draco draws his dark power from a type of aether corruption. Despite original speculations, it is not tied to the void. Instead, it appears elemental in nature, feeding on negative energy or powerful violent energies. He manipulates it with his desire to protect, at any cost. It grants him several abilities.

===Darkness===

Draco's Dark Aether allow him to do certain things as a Dark Knight. His current list of powers is as such.

*:'''Dark Fire/Firaga''': A darker and corrupt version of Fire. It's burn isn't as bad as it's impact, however, as it generates more of a small explosion than any actual flames. Draco can change the intensity to certain levels, but usually goes all out to eliminate the target.

*:'''Dark Blizzard/Blizzaga''': A corrupted version of Blizzard. Draco usually uses it on the ground, to cause jagged spikes of dark ice to rise up and pierce his targets. He can also use it to freeze an enemy. While generally more dangerous than a blizzard attack, and spreading over a larger area, the spell cannot be directed especially well. Where the spikes point is often times random. This makes Draco use it more as a barrier than anything else.

*:'''Dark Thunder''': Generally the weakest of Draco's attacks. It carries the same properties of a regular Thunder spell, with amplified juice from the corruption. Dart will rarely use it.

*:'''Dark Shield''': A corrupted version of Protect/Reflect. It forms a shield in front of, or around, Draco to protect him from oncoming attacks. It's rather strong, and can take a lot of punishment. However, it cannot be spread to others and he cannot move while it is up. The only way it can give benefit to others, is if they're standing very close to Draco as he casts it.

*:'''Gravity''': A magic spell that releases an orb of Aether that increases the gravity of the area it consumes. It generally is used to force people to submit, as it only causes discomfort from the added weight.

*:'''Eruption''': A Dark Fire based attack. It comes in two varieties. Draco can launch small spheres of Dark Fire in an arc in front of him, then rapidly detonate them to cause damage over a wide area. They're easy to see coming, and easy to dodge if the person is capable. They can also be reflected back at Draco, if the person is capable of doing so. The second method is focusing the corrupted Aether into his arm or hand and getting close to his target. It carries the force of one of the explosive Firagas, and condenses in his hand before exploding outward in a cone. The downside being, it will damage Draco as well.

*:'''Nightmare''': A dark version of sleep. When cast, it sends out a massive wave of 'Sleep', sending the target(s) into a state of haunting slumber. It brings forth their fears as they sleep, weakening them and making them harder to wake. The downside being, the wave has to make contact with the target, and can be countered with magic. Casting a standard sleep spell on the target, then waking them can negate it as well. If the person has no current fears, it can't enact nightmares.

*:'''Dark Corridor''': Much like a hole to the void, Draco can open gateways to other locations. It requires him to have some sort of connection with the location however, such as having been there or being able to see it physically. Leaving behind traces of his corruption, or having someone that he can connect to makes it easier. Doing this used to be very taxing on Draco, but he's now able to do it freely in short bursts. However, if he abuses it and opens Corridors frequently, it will more often than not make him unable to move after the casting. If there's no connection to link a Corridor to, Draco can force them open and drop himself, or someone else through. It will expend most of his Aether to do so, and is ill advised.

*:'''Aetherial Armor''': Draco concentrates almost all of his aether to the outside of his body, forming armor that amplifies his strength and durability. He's powerful while using it, but also more volatile, sacrificing focus and reasoning for rage and strength. The armor can only be sustained for a limited amount of time, and once dropped, will disperse all the aether used to create it. This leaves Draco in a vulnerable state, as he's left with barely enough aether to remain conscious. This move, if used at all, will only be used as a last resort. To a smaller degree, he can use a small amount of Aether to create a mask over his face, which he does almost every day. Unlike the armor, it only provides some protection to his face and doesn't amplify anything aside from sight.

==History==
===Family===

Draco was born to Tavus Nobis, and Jennete Nobis. A Miqo'te and Hyur pair that originated in Ishgard. Tavus had befriended an Elezen noble, before Draco and his older brother were born, and they both decided to leave the cold land of Ishgard. The Elezen Lord and Tavus had a secret, however, that Draco to this day is trying to determine. They gathered volunteers in Gridania, and settled in a remote area. They created a small Fiefdom, naming their own Knights and nobility. It took effort, but they were eventually recognized as a noble house, and left well enough alone. When Dartanon and Draco were born, their father already had their life planned out for them. Dartanon, being the eldest, was trained from an early age to be a Knight. Lessons in etiquette, swordplay, tactics, and culture were pumped into his brain, much to Draco's displeasure. The younger brother took it upon himself to try and help Dartanon have fun, taking him out to have 'adventures', which mainly just involved getting in trouble. However, Tavus quickly straightened it out by increasing the intensity of Dart's Knight training, and beginning training for the reluctant Draco. There was only one path laid out for the boys, in the eyes of their father. The path of a soldier.

Years passed, and Draco and his brother grew apart as Dart became a somewhat cold and harsh warrior. He paid little mind to anything other than his honor and legacy, looking down on anyone that wasn't himself or his father. Unfortunately, this included his younger brother. Over the years, Draco attempted to run away on more than one occasion. However, on his last attempt, his mother stopped him and gave him a small story book. It told stories of Knights of legend. Draco latched onto these stories and aspired to be like those Knights. He took to his training and soon surpassed Dartanon, much to his father and brother's dismay. At the age of twenty and eighteen, Dartanon andd Draco were finally knighted, taking upon themselves their swords and it's oaths. The ceremony felt pointless though. All it meant to Draco was, he was one step closer to his goal. He wasn't doing this for his father. The years continued and the tension between the two brothers was growing. Something had happened to Draco, spurring a Darkness to fester in his soul. He and Dartanon ended up getting into fights, resulting in minor injuries and scars to both of them. Seeing this, their mother decided it'd be best for the two to stay as far apart as possible.

When the Garleans invaded, Draco, Dartanon, and the knights of their home were sent out with Gridanian forces to combat them. It was a long campaign for the Miqo'te brothers, causing more stress between them. Draco valued the lives of his men more than victory, while Dartanon viewed the soldiers as fodder to throw at the enemy until one side collapsed, like tools to cast into battle. This all culminated to one final moment the two brothers shared. Dartanon had discovered a Garlean artillery unit that was threatening to collapse a flank. He ordered Draco to take his men and join Dartanon on a charge to crush it head on. Draco, however, wanted to flank around the guns and take them out. It would take a little longer, but it'd minimize casualties for their men. Dartanon argued and demanded it be done his way before going off to lead the charge. Draco, angered by his brother's stubbornness, decided to do his own plan. He led his soldiers around, abandoning Dartanon as the older brother charged the Garlean forces. When Draco returned from destroying the artillery unit, he came across the corpses of his brother's unit. Horrified, Draco went to see if he could find his brother, Dartanon. Laying in the dirt, barely clinging to life, was the older Knight. Draco ran to him and tried to get him back to camp, but it was too late. With his dying breath, Dartanon cursed Draco's name and blamed him for the death that had just happened. While part of Draco knew he would have shared Dartanon's fate had he joined him on this charge, the guilt was overriding his logic. Torn apart by grief, the darkness festered more and latched onto his now broken soul. Draco had to do something though. The men wouldn't answer to him, at least not all of them. They needed Dartanon. Steeling his resolve, he came to one conclusion. As penance and punishment, Draco would die on this field. He took his brother's armor and helmet, donning them and returning to camp to lead his men under the guise of his brother. He was no longer Draco. Now HE was Dartanon.

When Dalamud fell, Draco's Knight order was in shambles, only a handful having survived. He led these survivors back, as well as the wrapped body of his brother, to his home only to find it too was in ruins and its inhabitants dead. Sorrow seemed permanently latched to Draco's life. With no family, and no home, he disbanded his knights to set out into Eorzea. He'd do what he could to help rebuild this once great nation, as penance for his sins. If one Nobis was left standing, he wanted it to be the hero 'Dartanon'. He'd just have to live as someone he wasn't.

==Recent Events==

===Black Blade Arc===

When everything in Eorzea was mostly restored, Draco slowed down in his adventures. He had just turned 38, and wasn't exactly full of his youthful energy. He met several groups, and helped them out as they needed it, but mostly kept to himself. Only a few people, he kept in constant contact with. Val Nunh, Faye Covington, Jethas Zykyri, and oddly enough Sophia Grave. His meeting with the Garlean wasn't the most...productive. It resulted in him being stabbed, but he got a good look at the kind of person she was. He was intrigued, finding someone so much like himself. He was determined to 'save' her from her Garlean ways, but eventually found himself falling for her. Unfortunately, fate had a funny way of working out. When the company Draco was in, at the time, disbanded, he started wandering once more. He figured it'd be better for everyone. When he eventually did return...His friends showed him just how much they missed him, with affectionate slaps, punches, and calling him 'stupid for thinking that way'. It was a good day.

Draco retired from the wandering Knight business, for a time. He figured he might as well try to stay in contact with these people, since they were so determined to keep him around. He was growing closer to Jethas and Sophia, one which he viewed as a brother, and the other which he was falling harder for. Just when things started looking up, Fate decided to intervene again when the Darkness began to stir in him, developing it's own self. It became an everlasting presence in him, trying to rob control from the Knight. Draco figured he was strong enough to overcome it. He started medling in Black Magic, but found himself overwhelmed. When a strong burst of anger caused Draco to lose control, he had to flee once more. He was afraid he might hurt the ones he cared about. When Draco returned, he was surprised to find a repeat of his last welcome home. He had honestly thought he was forgotten. Draco decided to stay again, hopefully for good this time, relying on his friends to help him if he lost his way again.

Things with Sophia began developing quicker, once Draco returned. Confessing his feelings, with some awkward help from Val Nunh, was very difficult, but eventually he managed to do it. He was happy to find them returned, and endeavored to make the most of things, despite their differences in allegiance. It wasn't long before Draco found himself somewhat alone in Eorzea, though. Val and Faye were warry of him, now that he was with Sophia, and Jethas had his own issues to solve. After some convincing, Draco agreed to become Sophia's partner and help her with her Garlean tasks. He refuses to swear loyalty the Garleans, but he will do whatever it takes to protect Sophia. Even if things have been rough, for them, he is stubborn and determined. A few incidents with the Darkness rising up seems to be setting the course...It will have to be dealt with soon.

===Branded Arc===

Draco spent most of his time with Sophia after his return. From her, he learned about the Branded residents of Cliffperch. While his initial reception was met with caution and distrust, he remained as the volunteer guard outside the gate to the house. He had no shard, and thus wasn't allowed INTO the house, but he met several of the Aeon Branded through his partner. For several days, Draco observed and protected the people of Cliffperch, almost jumping on the chance to be active again. Sitting in a bar was no place for a Knight, for the rest of his life. While there were a few bumps in his stay, including an altercation between Draco and the young woman Zuri Bacchus over the Miqo'te's partner, and a temporary loss of control with the Darkness, Draco felt happy and alive. He had people to protect once more, that he felt needed it.

Draco found himself increasingly intrigued by the shards that allowed the Branded to communicate. He tried to gather information on it, but his skills in passive interrogation were...lacking. Deciding to give up for a little, Draco made a trip back through Thanalan towads Ul'dah proper. His Darkness was suppressed by a tonic Sophia had made, so he took advantage of the time to get some training in. As he ventured, he came across a man being attacked by bandits. Draco tried his best to save the man, but unfortunately the traveler's wounds were too great, and Draco was no healer. The man died shortly after the bandit were dispatched. Unbeknownst to Draco, the dead traveler was branded, and his shard had jumped to the nearest host. With a shard now in his body, Draco returned to Cliffperch, blissfully unaware.

The Darkness, in its weakened state, noticed the link first and hid it from Draco, making sure the knight couldn't use it clearly yet. It used the link to examine several people. When Draco assisted Varus in collecting shards and a demonic power, the Darkness was forcefully stirred awake, beginning to slowly gain power again. This activated Draco's rune, and allowed him to hear the link, although the Darkness made it difficult. Through the activation of his shard, Draco was allowed into Cliffperch. Surprisingly, Zuri was the one to help him with it, and tell him what to do. Through their talks, they both realised that Draco's Ishgardian mother was Zuri's aunt. Draco was effectively in a light daze. Over a short time, he discovered a surviving family member, and gained a deeper connection to others. How this would effect him remains unknown.

===What Once Was Arc===

Draco revealed to the others his past and who he really was, giving up the name Dartanon and letting his brother finally rest in entirety. With the help of Zuri, Sophia, and Flickering Ember, Oblivion was defeated and Draco's soul was re-united. He was in full control of the Darkness in him, now. However, the task awoke memories in Draco that hinted to the source of his dark powers. Originally, he would have let it go, but he felt like the mystery of his darkness was still a burden on others. He decided to leave Cliffperch until he could solve the mystery of his family, the Lord they served, and his own corruption. He resides now in Coerthas, staying with a friend of his that had gone through something similar with void corruption. Together, they hunt for answers.

Draco acts now as a wandering Knight again, searching across Eorzea for answers. Wearing modified Garlean armor, given to him by Liliana, and a mask to hide his face, he seeks to use his powers to protect the people of Eorzea once more. He was planning on assisting Lacey Orwell with a mission she was putting together, but she had set off without him. He followed her in secret, to a location with Garlean supplies she was trying to secure. He intercepted a Garlean squad moving to reinforce the scientist and his men, when Lacey and her friends attacked. After a battle, he had to kill all the Garleans that he engaged, before leaving. He worries now that it may have a negative outcome, but he'd set on a path he couldn't come back from. He was beginning to understand that sometimes in battle...he couldn't spare his enemy.

==Relationships==
===Enemies===

Draco has few personal enemies, although his standings with the Garlean Empire are currently shakey at best. He has dislike towards [[Lanza Razaul]] and would consider him one of his foes. [[Varus Rosenthal]] and [[Rukira Michaelis]] are enemies of his, although the former is missing, and he isn't currently in conflict with the latter, although again their relationship is tense.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Sophia Grave]]''' - A young Ul'dahn woman with a rather charming appearance and mannerisms. While a woman of many secrets, and formerly an enemy of the Miqo'te Knight, Sophia grave found a way into his heart. While he is afraid to openly admit to her, he cares for her greatly. His urge to protect her is greater than most. Their first interactions together were...violent. She stabbed him, put simply. But once they fought with their wits, instead of their swords, they realized they were more like each other than they thought. Over time, Draco fell harder for Sophia and eventually confessed his affections. They became partners and lovers, working together for a common goal of peace against the Primals and war. In recent events, Draco's war on the Garleans that kidnapped and experimented on Eorzean civilians, drove a wedge between Draco and Sophia. After catching her in the act of breaking into a comrade's room, he spoke to her in Ul'dah, and they went their separate ways as unfortunate enemies. While Draco once more hardens his resolve to protect his people, he doubts he'd be able to bring himself to fully confront his once lover. Deep in his mind, he still cares for the Garlean, and wishes the outcome had been different.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''[[Jethas Zykyri]]''' - A Miqo'te that befriended Draco while he served in the Phoenix Collective. One of Draco's only real friends, Draco thinks of him almost like a brother. They bicker and tease each other, making him one of the few that Draco enjoys himself around and lets loose a little with. Jethas always seemed to look out for Draco, making sure he never stepped into something he couldn't handle...Even if Jethas had to scold or beat on Draco first.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Faye Covington]]''' - The Hyur Midlander woman, Faye Covington, didn't make the best first impression with Draco. He first met her and her mate when he intercepted a fight on a bridge outside Ul'dah. He received a wound for his troubles, and made two new...friends of sorts. Over time, Draco began to respect Faye. She carried herself with grace, at least from what he had seen, and her care and affection for her mate inspired him. He soon found himself visiting them more frequently, and even saved their lives from a Garlean ambush in the forest. He considers Faye another one of his true friends.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Val Nunh]]''' - Val Nunh and Draco had a rough start. They met by fighting, Draco receiving an injury. Neither Miqo'te saw eye to eye after that, constantly being wary around the other, whether it was Val's thuggish attitude, or Draco's open distaste for it. Eventually, as it happened with Faye Covington, Draco soon began to respect the Miqo'te bodyguard. Val showed the utmost loyalty, and flat out love for Faye. Draco soon saw that the Miqo'te wasn't nearly as bad and untrustworthy as he had thought. He even attempted to help him become more 'Knightly' and chivalrous for Faye...but that didn't quite work. While Val's mannerism's changed slightly, he still carried that manner of speech that drove Draco up the wall.

: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Augustine Frost]]''' - Augustine was a Mercenary that met Draco in one of the most...bizarre ways. While Draco was conversing with an Elezen woman, Augustine just walked up and complimented her legs. Thinking that Augustine was a poor lovestruck man in need of courting advice, Draco befriended him and tried to help him get with the Elezen, Tassine. However, their relationship didn't work in the end. Draco and Augustine don't see each other as frequently, but they do converse now and again.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Tassine Gouvieux]]''' - An elegant and beautiful Elezen. She is a woman of high standing, and one that easily earned the admiration and respect of Draco. While his meeting with her wasn't exactly at a noble gathering, it was enjoyable. He doesn't get to see her as often as he wishes, but he tries to keep in contact and offer assistance when he can.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''[[Liliana Nazareth]]''' - A kind and lovely Sharlayan woman that Draco met on pure chance. He had been there when [[Paradyme Capellago]] pulled her from the void. He had tried to remove her corruption, but had failed. A long time later, and he was present to help her give birth to her daughter, Dawn, along with Sophia Grave and her brother, with a Doman girl there as well. He hadn't seen her again for some time until he encountered her in Coerthas, after her breakup with Paradyme. He comforted her as best he could, going out to visit her when he could since he could sympathize with her plight. At the moment, he stays in her home in Coerthas, helping watch out for her children and to make sure she's safe. He also uses her home as a forward base in Coerthas, for his investigation into his family's past. Once he had earned the name 'Judge' he left her home in Coerthas, so he wouldn't be in her way any longer. He watches over her and her children in secret, although he finds himself leaving her be in the wake of her wedding with Paradyme.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zaku Paku]]''' - At the moment Draco and Zaku, also known as Zaku Degenwulf, are not on good terms. Neither trusts the others, and Draco doesn't believe their relationship can be mended anymore. When Draco first joined Aeon, Zaku was the first to welcome and greet him. When the Lalafel became a Highlander, he changed. In Draco's opinion, it was for the worse. Zaku's temper and berserk tendencies matched Draco's, when he was under the influence of Oblivion. It worries him. Because of Zaku's quick rise to violence, Draco watches him with caution. He's prepared to fight if he has to.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Lacey Orwell]]''' - Lacey and Draco didn't exactly hang out all that much, but he would consider her a friend. He met her after the 'death' of Varus, as she was one of his agents. She tried to get close to Zaku, for information from the Flames. Draco was suspicious of her at first, but didn't approve of either her methods or Zaku's once he caught on. When she denounced her ties to Varus, she joined Aeon, where Draco tried to help her settle. The Ex-Garlean Agent then tried to mend Draco's relationship with Zaku, but it didn't end well. Lacey worked with and assisted Draco a few times before departing from Aeon.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Hotaru Gin]]''' - Gin met Draco under odd circumstances. She had met him through Sebastian Grave, Sophia's brother, in Ul'dah. They met with Liliana and her at-the-time boyfriend Paradyme, and just happened to be there when the Sharlayan went into labor. Gin helped deliver the baby, and Draco was forced to watch...it was terrible. After that, Draco encountered Gin multiple times, and did what he could to find her when she was captured by a Garlean agent. He wasn't the one to rescue her, but he acted as her confidante before and after the rescue. They both shared secrets, and grew closer. Draco considers her a close friend, despite some of their differing opinions, and would aid her where he could.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Lanza Razaul]]''' - Not much can be said for the relationship between Lanza and Draco, aside from the fact that both parties do not like each other in the slightest. Lanza seems intent on fighting Draco to the death. Draco was originally out for Lanza's blood, after he thought the lancer had murdered Liliana. However, after learning that it was on Liliana's request, and after [[C'eleni Meztli]] pleaded for Lanza's life, Draco decided to call off his mission of vengeance. Lanza, however, is adamant that the two will fight. Draco may just have to kill Lanza in self defense in the end.

==History/Timeline==

TBA

==Affiliations==

Draco was a knight to an Elezen house before the Calamity. Afterwards, he wandered Eorzea as a Mercenary Knight, in league with the Mercenary Guilds. From there, he joined the Phoenix Collective, a Free Company led by the twins Dirosei and Azreyal. He never quite fit in, so he still worked by himself when he could. He decided to leave one day, and returned to find the company gone. His old friend Jethas had started his own with another former member, the Order of the Ravenstar. Draco decided to stay with him for the time being, joining up to protect his friends once more. When he lost control of the Darkness within him, Draco fled and broke ties with the Ravenstar. When he returned, he reunited with Sophia and began voluntarily guarding her and her free company. He works to protect the Branded of Aeon, unknowingly sharing more with them than he realized.

==OOC Information==

-Draco is no longer on good terms with the Garlean Empire, and is employed in fighting against them again.
-Draco openly uses his Darkness now that Oblivion has been defeated, employing his abilities to help protect people.

==Character==
===General===

At first glance, Val seems to be your typical, unkempt ruffian. He is usually dirty and seems to have a new scar or fresh bruise from day to day. Despite this, the Seeker almost always has a smile or mischievous little grin on his face, juxtaposed by the fine clothing he wears. This is generally kept to shirts, though he has been known to dress nice on rare occasions. Whether this is due to his own decision or thanks to the influence of his wife is anyone's guess. What he does compromise on is usually ruffled up or left untucked, and he seems to enjoy pairing whatever his she puts on him with a pair of kecks and gloves.

[[File:Tierval.jpg|400px|left|Val Nunh (Courtesy of Tiergan!)]]

===Appearance===

Val is your typical Miqo'te Seeker and stands a tad tall for his race, somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8". Though, this is hard to tell considering his slouched and relaxed posture. Ash blonde hair is brushed haphazardly away from an oval face marked with smooth planes and covers the long, slim ears arching over the Miqo'te's youthful visage. His brows are winged, the inner half of each slanted downward to give him an overall mischievous appearance. They're set over bi-colored eyes of blue and gold, both almond-shaped and with a long, faded scar bisecting the skin both above and below the right pale blue orb. A patrician nose is set above firm lips prone to mercurial changes of expression, and a faint touch of blonde stubble marks the curve of his chin.

His skin is tanned from his exposure to the sun and his overall build is slender and lean, showing an inclination to speed rather than strength. He can typically be seen wearing light leathers that give some protection and hinder movement as little as possible. A lance is typically strapped to his back, the tip bladed for slicing as well as piercing. The end of its metallic shaft is rounded for bludgeoning, if needed. The handle of a dagger can be seen protruding from the top of each of his boots.

===Behavior===

Due to Val's upbringing and typical way of life, he tends to lack any sort of manners or sense of control over himself. He's well known for saying the first thing that comes to his head without giving it a second thought. This often leads to offending those around him, admittedly most of it is on purpose. He enjoys pushing the boundaries of others around him and watching them try to cope with it. If it bothers them enough to fight him, it's just an added bonus. He is very determined and egotistical, far believing himself to be superior to most of those around him. He generally lets his cockiness and confidence speak for itself, which tends to get allow him to overpower most individuals or scare them off without actually lifting a finger himself.

He doesn't care for an obscene amount of wealth, just enough money for food, drink, and a place to sleep. Beyond that, he'd rather spend most of his time relaxing outside and enjoying the world around him. If he has a beautiful lady at his side? Even better! Companionship is certainly not required, nor does he desire to stay with any one lady in particular. He finds the notion of sticking with one woman when there are "so many flavors" to try to be absolutely absurd and ignorant to the point that he often laughs at those in monogamous relationships. Despite this, he gets particularly angry if someone moves in on a woman that he's especially fond of. This tends to lead to a lot of the aforementioned behavior. Though his general choice of words is colorful to say the least, when angered it becomes especially so. He shouts a great deal of obscenities and threats. If that doesn't work to make the other back off, he has full intent on making good on the given threats.

On top of all of this, Val also lacks trust in others. He expects most people, especially nobility, to be using him to further their own goals. Because of this, he rarely lets himself get close to another. It generally isn't an issue since his overall demeanor tends to repel most people. Those that can stand him long enough to gain his trust will find themselves in possession of a very trustworthy and thoroughly loyal ally. While he'll still have the tendency to joke around and "test" his friends, he will be far more willing to shut down that side of him and be far more considerate to those that have shown the ability to deal with his faults and prove him wrong. As far as emotions are concerned, Val tends to keep them to himself. Only those very nearest to him will truly know if he feels any sort of remorse for his actions or the things he does. He believes showing such to be a sign of weakness, and has thus managed to keep most of them under control. Except anger, of course. It's the one he's never quite been able to tame.

==Combat==
===General===
The best thing to say about Val when it comes to combat is that he loves doing it. He is incredibly prideful of his skill and believes that, beyond all else, beating someone in a fight proves that he is better than them. He also believes it solidifies his claim to be a Nunh, and each victory further proves such. Therefore, Val will do what he can to provoke others to a fight. If they back down, he feels that alone proves himself to be the better. Should they beat him, while his pride may be hurt, it instills with him to train harder until he's able to overcome his opponent.

Val wields a lance in combat, using it both as a piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning weapon. At times Val has the tendency to use it as a bo staff, taking clear advantage of its weighted ends in the process. He spends the majority of his time reading his opponent and goading an opening out of them. When he finds an opening or is able to discern the opponent's general style of fighting, Val will trade out his lance for his daggers and seek to end the battle as quickly as possible. He's been known to be a bit suicidal in this, willing to take a fatal strike if it means finishing off his opponent during dire situations.

He only fights honorably when he absolutely has to, feeling that "anything goes" in a real fight. Val frowns at the idea of using practice weapons because he feels there's no real danger in it and is prone to turning down any kind of healing. The wounds remind him of the mistakes made in battle. Val feels that it makes him much stronger to let them to heal on their own, allowing him to develop a better pain threshold.

==Tendencies==

[[File:ChibiValcolor.png|210px|right|Chibi Val (Courtesy of Lament!)]]
===Likes===
::* He enjoys being surrounded by beautiful women, especially his own.
::* When relaxing, he'll often order himself an alcoholic beverage. Anything will do, though he prefers the sweet taste of wine.
::* The sound of gil in his pouch. Not because he covets money, but because he knows he'll be able to eat and rest well that night.

===Dislikes===
::* White Knights. He actually finds them to be quite pathetic and prefers to simply watch most altercations from afar, if not antagonize them.
::* Val can't stand nobility, or those that descend from it due to their typical demeanor.
::* Anyone moving in on his "territory" (women). This almost always results in a fight or an argument.

===Hobbies/Talents===

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Faye Covington]]''' - Val was first captivated not only by this ivory-haired Midlander's beauty, but by the challenge that presented itself in her capture. For better or worse the two often butt heads due to their thoroughly conflicting views, though that just serves to keep things interesting enough for Val to stick around. He was originally reluctant with the idea of sticking with one woman, but soon realized it would be the only way to claim her. Now that he's actually with her and she's supplying him with everything he could ask for, it leaves one to wonder exactly who caught who. Val's fondness and respect for the woman grow daily, and with them his fierce loyalty and willingness to do virtually anything she asks of him. Over time, it has managed to change him into a strong and loving companion. While many know that they are engaged, very few know that they've actually eloped and already wed.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Siobhain Surtsthalwyn]]''' - Over time, Val has come to view this honorable and steadfast Hellsguard as a great friend. It didn't quite start that way at first, of course. Originally, he assumed that her naivety would be her ultimate undoing. Through various friendly bouts, however, he has come to respect both the woman and the views that she holds. While he'd never openly admit it, all she need do is ask or come to him with an issue and he'd do what he could to assist her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Yangh Linh]]''' - When he first met this Keeper, Val assumed that she was just trying to hit on him. She offered a drink and asked him to dance, then his pal Berrod quickly abandoned them. He expressed that he was already with a companion and the woman laughed it off, leaving Val thoroughly confused. Now after getting to know her, Val is incredibly protective of the woman he calls "Priestess". She is strong, not just mentally, but physically as well and has accepted Val as a Disciple of Menphina. The relationship is more motherly than anything, with Yangh doing her best to help Faye and keep the poor Seeker on the right track by constantly reprimanding him for his mistakes. Unbeknownst to many, she's also helping to sharpen his skills with his daggers and teaching him the ways of the assassin.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Berrod Armstrong]]''' - Things did not start off well with Berrod at all. For starters, the Highlander hit on his woman, which immediately put him on Val's list of enemies. They've come to blows several times, each eventually walking away with a victory. In their latest fight, a truce was called to (hopefully) put an end to their rivalry. Truth be told, the two have far more in common than either of them would likely admit. Val knows through their conflict that Berrod is certainly no pushover when it comes to fighting and, because of this, sees Berrod as an invaluable ally to have.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Alexandre Larille]]''' - Val happened upon the unconscious body of this Duskwight shortly after leaving his tribe. Having spent a rather great deal of time alone and not quite used to it, the Seeker stuck around long enough to nurse the Elezen back to health and enjoy the company while he could. For this, Alexandre apparently feels in debt to Val and the two have came to a mutual claim of friendship until such a debt is settled. Neither of them would speak of this, and Val certainly wouldn't admit to having a soft side.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[A’nzil Oenomaus]]''' - Val absolutely hates being burdened with tasks. The only thing he hates more than that is indentured servitude, especially of his own people. This is what brought Val to eventually accept the task of training A'nzil. Truth be told, the Seeker knows little about teaching others aside from how he was taught; with harsh, hands-on experience. He hopes to toughen A'nzil up through a series of battles, feeling that he's been coddled far too much.

[[File:ValFayeWedding.png|400px|right|Val and Faye's Wedding (Courtesy of Kaoru!)]]
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kah'li Tayuun]]''' - Long before he and Faye were an item, Val hated this Keeper because he seemed to be trying to steal the lady out from under him. He would constantly ridicule Kah'li for being blind which often led to bickering between the two. Over time, the two became friends and even sparring partners, each trading victories. Val has come to respect the man, especially since he respects his relationship with Faye, and would do almost anything should he ever ask.

: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Dartanon Nobis]]''' - This self-proclaimed knight managed to interfere with Val's retribution on a man that tried to steal Faye from him. While Val was thoroughly hateful towards him at first, the relationship soon turned into something akin to a friendship. At least, until Val found that Dartanon was dating one of the Garleans that had attacked Faye. Since then he's kept the man at arm's length, not because he necessarily doesn't wish to be around him, but because Faye giving the order to exterminate the woman he's with will make cutting him down that much easier should he get in his way.

: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zularti Vensar]]''' - Val isn't quite sure what to make of this man aside from the fact that he shouldn't really be considered a man at all. He is brash, irrational, and thoroughly childlike. Why Faye follows him or entertains the idea of him being any sort of leader he'll never know, but he has decided to suffer through it in order to keep her happy.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Unknown Keeper of the Moon]]''' - There is little that Val knows about this dark skinned, dark haired Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon. What he does know is that she has the ability to assume the form of nearly anyone. She barged into his home shortly after Faye had been kidnapped and offered only to give her location and a cure for the poison currently afflicting him in exchange for his aether. When she left, Val was broken. He is now deathly afraid of her particular kind of Voidsent, as well as wary of any women that get near him in case they happen to be her returning for more.

==Character==

''The light can heal, or the light can burn.''

===General===

At first glance, Faye Covington is nothing more than a demure and lovely Midlander of the upper class and a vision in white. One could easily think her as haughty and superficial as your average spoiled rich girl, but the fair lady proves to be remarkably resilient and in control. Rather than a fragile damsel in distress, she is witty, and perhaps too ambitious for her own good.

===Name===
:'''Given Name:''' Faye Lunetta Rosalba Covington
:'''Nicknames and Aliases:''' Faye is often addressed as Lady Covington, Lady Faye, Saint Faye, Saint Covington, Miss Faye, Miss Covington, Mistress Covington, etc. or sometimes simply referred to as "boss" by her support priests in Harbingers of Dawn. Other nicknames she has earned for herself by specific individuals include Princess, Blondie, Blonde Bitch, the Snake in White, and Snowy.

===Appearance===

Faye stands rather tall for a Midlander woman at 5'8", weighing about 130 Ponz, and almost always carries herself with poise, grace and dignity, her shoulders squared, her back straight, and her head held high. Her skin is very pale and smooth, free of any freckles, scars, or blemishes. The woman's hair is long and straight, snowy white with faint hints of platinum blonde, bangs brushed to her left. Her face is oval-shaped with a small, wide, up-turned nose and plump, full pink lips. Her eyes are an icy blue, almond-shaped and lined with thick, dark eyelashes. Her eyebrows are the same ivory color as her hair, delicately arched and neat. Her earlobes are each pierced once, no other piercings or tattoos to be found on her body. Her frame is slender without being too bony or toned, with a small waist, average-sized breasts, and an hourglass figure. The Hyur has a calm and confident demeanor about her. She tends to wear jewelry, usually gold and pearls, and often opts for the more feminine, choosing dresses and skirts over shorts or pants. She wears cloth rather than any armors and is usually seen in white or pale colors. Her appearance is always neat and orderly, no wrinkles, not a speck of dirt, and not a hair out of place.

===Speech===

Her voice is smooth and melodic, her speaking tone just barely high-pitched enough to be considered soprano. Each word is clear and articulate, carefully pronounced and measured. Her normal speaking voice is soft without being meek or difficult to hear, but when she is giving out orders, the woman is commanding and able to be rather loud if she pleases. The tone of her voice can snap from demure young noblewoman to demanding leader in a single moment. Her speech is not overly formal, but is certainly not casual. She uses words most often to get her way and will therefore change her style of speech accordingly.

===Behavior===

Polite, mannerly, and charming, she prides herself on being a “proper lady.” Her confidence can often come across as haughtiness, but otherwise she seems fairly pleasant. She’s generally friendly, even if not particularly outspoken, but when someone irks her she can get a bit snippy. She usually keeps her calm and composure, only sometimes lending herself to annoyance or frustration, but any other emotional outbursts are rare. In the most terrifying of situations, she will often be merely alarmed rather than horrified, and when tragedy strikes it's rare to see her shed a tear. Most of her emotions are shallow and feigned, though she's skilled in coming across as genuine. Rarely does she lose her temper, but when she does, she is violently angry, venting her emotions through destructive means. Generally, she hides the emotions she does feel and feigns the emotions she shows, but rarely do others see through this façade. There are a few people, though, who she is (mostly) honest with in her emotions, but they are few and far between. She is incredibly stubborn and ambitious. She presents herself as being rather straightforward (never mind the tricky schemes that she’s probably plotting in her head) and she is rather charismatic. Though she sometimes likes to joke around, she usually refrains from crazy and silly antics, making her a bit of a stick in the mud at times. She has a strong sense of "honor," even if her moral code is unique to herself and somewhat baffling to others, with lying and manipulation apparently being acceptable to obtain an important enough goal. Her thinking is very much along the lines of "the end justifies the means."

Faye hates feeling weak and vulnerable and it is mostly for this reason that she is always seeking power, because she can’t stand seeing others superior to her. This can make her power hungry and overambitious. She is persuasive and manipulative, and she will use and hurt people to get what she wants with little hesitation. She is witty and even if she could win a fight, she would prefer to talk her way out of a situation rather than resort to violence. Rather aloof, she is a bit out of touch with other people and their emotions and ideals. Even if she does claim to care for someone, she will often still use him or her as a pawn to achieve her goals if she sees fit, even if she truly does care for that person. To her, most relationships are expendable. Though even if not always entirely loyal and kind to them, she is fiercely protective of those few people she actually does love, though sometimes it can lead her to be smothering, obsessive, or controlling. Because she dislikes vulnerability, she is rarely honest about her emotions and her intentions, regardless of whether they be good or bad.

Apparently a believer in the notion that knowledge is power, she is often curious and dislikes not knowing things. She tends to be self-righteous and often lectures other people on their manners, morals, honor, or other behaviors. She doesn’t like to be tied down by relationships or responsibilities to others. No matter how close a relationship may seem, most are only superficial on the Hyur's end. She is very vengeful when she feels she's been wronged. Though it’s difficult for her, she tries not to cause mischief, meddle in others’ affairs, or smite a few sinners “for the sake of the greater good,” but she always eventually slips up. Whether Faye is truly malevolent or good in nature is hard to determine. Mostly, she remains in neutral ground.

:'''Motivations:''' Helping those in need and helping herself. Ambitious, she seeks power above all else and wants to rule all that she can, but she intends to use that power to make the world a better place, even if also to satisfy her own wants.

:'''Disposition:''' Calm, charming, polite, and usually friendly, but a bit aloof, not above snark and sarcasm, and catty when annoyed.

:'''Outlook:''' All is justified for the greater good.

===Positive Personality Traits===

Charming, charismatic, confident, intelligent, persuasive, eloquent, mannerly, polite, ambitious, generous, sympathetic, and usually keeps calm and collected. Fiercely protective if those she truly cares for.

===Negative Personality Traits===

Manipulative, aloof, scheming, dishonest, secretive, self-righteous, conflicted, conceited, superficial, prideful, a bit of a stick-in-the-mud, and tends to "snap" if she is finally provoked to anger.

==Combat==

Faye rarely fights unless she must, not viewing her magic or violence as things that should be used for sport or trivial matters. When she does fight, she wields her magic fiercely, seeking to end the battle as quickly as possible. For a conjurer, her destructive magic is especially strong (the downside being her healing is lacking). She usually goes fully on the assault, more of an offensive fighter than defensive. Not much of a brawler to begin with, she is not well-educated in tactics and her anger often gets the better of her in combat. Particularly strange for a spellcaster, she is prone to going into a berserker-like rages. She is quick, but not quite as nimble as a trained fighter, and has little physical strength.

==Relationships==
===Family===

:'''Selene Covington:''' - Deceased. Faye's mother, a golden-haired Midlander noblewoman. She was killed in a Garlean raid upon the Covington Manor in front of Faye's own eyes. She was strict, vain, and overbearing, but despite it all a kind and generous woman and a doting mother.

:'''Nicholas Covington/Stanislas Corinthius:''' - Faye's father, a Hyur man who was a skilled fighter and tactician, and quickly rose up the ranks of the Order of the Twin Adder to become a general. He was a stern and serious man, and often too busy with work to spend time with his family, but like most father's he had a particular soft spot for his little girl. He ushered Faye to safety when their home was attacked and then was killed along with Selene, or so Faye believed. It turns out her father wasn't quite the man she thought.

:'''Aelius Corinthius:''' - Faye's half-brother from her father's "double life" who she only recently learned existed. The white-haired Hyur warrior is only a couple years older than his sister. He seems to want to connect with his sister and win her over to his side. It's not working. Despite her distaste for the man, the siblings do have much in common.

:'''Valerius Corinthius:''' - Faye's younger half-brother and little brother to Aelius. Still only a toddler. Faye has never met him, but learned of his existence at the same time she learned of Aelius.

===Enemies===

The Garlean Empire, Voidsent, Voidtouched, Ascians, Leviathan, the Sahagin. Criminals, evildoers, anyone who hurts those she loves (even if it be accidental or justified), and anyone who gets between her and a goal.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Val Nunh]]''' - An ill-mannered Seeker of the Sun who Faye hired as her bodyguard, though after a few tumultuous weeks the two soon became lovers. She was attracted to Val not only for his good looks, but for his honesty, strength, and straight-forwardness, as well as a personality that was quite... refreshing compared to what the upper-class Midlander was accustomed. Quite a mismatched couple, the two look like total opposites at first glance, but they seem to get along quite swimmingly, despite Faye's constant lecturing Val, Val's constant embarrassing Faye, and the bickering it all brings. Faye is thoroughly enamored with the man, genuinely loving and fiercely loyal. It was no easy task convincing the Nunh to try a life of monogamy, but the challenge only further intrigued the Hyur. Due to their stubbornness and conflicting beliefs, the two butt heads frequently, but can never stay mad at each other for long. The two claim to be engaged, though they have already secretly eloped.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''[[Zularti Vensar]]''' - A young midlander man the same age as Faye who drew her attention with his strength and ambition after she saved him from the Sahagin. With his family--and for that matter his entire village--deceased, Tempered, or missing, Faye's family took him in and raised him as their own for the remainder of his teenage years. She found in him someone easy to manipulate, and through him she has been controlling the free company he leads, Harbingers of Dawn, from behind the scenes. Unfortunately, for him to be useful, he needs to be alive, and keeping the act-first, think-later man alive is not easy. Faye spends a lot of time tailing the dragoon and keeping him out trouble only for him to, quite understandably, snap at her the way a teenager would treat his nagging mom. Despite this, through her time spent with him, she does seem to actually care for the man and treats him as family. She considers him a brother and is fiercely protective of him, though rarely will she swallow her pride enough to admit it in front of most people.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>'''[[R'aenah Ihari]]''' - A Miqo'te woman who made a bad first impression on Faye by insulting her before even speaking to her and talking about her with Val as if Faye was not seated right next to them. Despite what appeared to be a few attempts at kindness on R'aenah's behalf, any efforts toward making peace were quickly forgotten with more insults, what Faye deemed as the woman's seriously lacking social graces, and the Miqo'te's public displays of affection toward Val even when he was on bodyguard duty. Regardless of Faye's efforts to act tolerant of R'aenah in public, if she were hanging from a cliff with her life in jeopardy, Faye would refuse to help her... in fact, she may give her a gentle push.

: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Siobhain Surtsthalwyn]]''' - A Hellsguard who Val seems to respect and trust, Faye also found respect for the woman due to her honor and honesty, despite the Hyur finding Siobhain's methods and hobbies rather brutish. However, though Faye knows well that the Roegadyn's heart is in the right place, being the private and proud person that she is, Faye finds Siobhain's meddling in her affairs to be aggravating. Disliking the idea that she could be pitied or thought a damsel in distress, Faye was annoyed when Siobhain tried to fight a man who unwantedly kissed Faye on her behalf and claimed she would take Faye as her charge if victorious when Faye wanted no such thing.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Kah'li Tayuun]]''' - A blind Keeper of the Moon who "sees" with the help of the Aether, Faye finds the Miqo'te to be rational and respectable, and therefore good company. Faye enjoys his rather calm demeanor and rejoices at having some civil company with whom to share a cup of tea. She does not know him particularly well, but finds him to be kind and level-headed, a refreshing contrast to the people by which she is often surrounded, and earned much respect for him when he stuck up for her when she felt she had been mistreated by Val and R'aenah one evening at the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Karaan Nolan]]''' - One of Faye's colleagues, a Midlander and the former Strategy Saint of Harbingers of Dawn. She believes he's likely a good man and intelligent enough, but his negative attitude has made her view him as someone who is pessimistic and dwells too much on the past. She has a cautious trust for the man as he has proven helpful in numerous situation, yet she is unsure of his motives and knows he is not solely loyal to her.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Dartanon Nobis]]''' - A Miqo'te and budding Dragoon Faye met when he tried to intercept a fight between Val and Tobias, though she and Val soon befriended him. Despite being initially annoyed at his white knight behavior, she quickly came to appreciate his desire to be noble and do what is right, even if it took him out of the good graces of others or brought him harm. She viewed him as someone honest and honorable, but her opinion of him drastically changed when he eventually admitted he had been romantically involved with a Garlean woman who once ambushed Faye and Val.

: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Barbarccia Valadis]]''' - A Keeper of the Moon who was once something of an arch-nemesis of Faye. The two were likely plotting each others' demise until they came to a compromise over a cup of tea and realized that even if their approaches may differ, their goals and intentions are the same. Though they still often do not see eye-to-eye, they seem to have a sort friendship, alliance, and a mutual respect for each other.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''Unknown Keeper of the Moon''' - A woman who attacked Faye while she was being held in a Garlean prison, and then immediately sought out Val and forced herself upon him in the same manner. The woman possessed obviously unnatural abilities. Faye only knows the Keeper woman by face, not by name, and hasn't seen her since, but Faye resents her and since the incident she has developed a specific, passionate hatred and wariness of anything pertaining to the Void.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''Unknown Midlander Man''' - A masked man and powerful mage who offered Faye an antidote when Val was poisoned if she would willingly surrender herself to Garlemald. Faye reluctantly agreed, having no other options but to watch Val suffer and slowly die. He likewise tormented Faye while she was imprisoned and was present for the Keeper woman's assault on Faye, and even was the one who ordered it. He seems to be the Keeper woman's 'Master.' Faye did not learn his name and his voice was obscured. He seems to have some respect from the Garleans, but due to his ability to wield magic is obviously not a pure-blooded Garlean himself. Since the attack, Faye has been visited once more by the man and reluctantly struck up a deal with him.

==History/Timeline==

TBA

==Affiliations==

Faye is a member of Harbingers of Dawn, a free company under the [[Order of the Twin Adder]] that is dedicated to protecting and aiding the citizens of Eorzea. She presides as Support Saint, the officer in the company who oversees those who wish to pursue first and foremost the acts of healing and/or helping others through acts of kindness and charity. The support branch serves as something of the "face" of the company and the bridge to the people of Eorzea. Despite being only an officer of the organization, her manipulation of the leader, Zularti, grants her great influence over the actions of Harbingers, and due to his rather disorganized and carefree nature, she's often left doing a large portion of the work for the company, specifically paperwork, planning and sorting out details, and cleaning up Zularti's messes.

==Character==
===General===

[[File:Berrod Armstrong Complete.png|350px|thumb|left|Berrod at the Silver Bazaar. Artwork done by Liucen/Berrod Armstrong]]

Berrod Armstrong is a displaced Ala Mhigan highlander who leads a Free Company that operating out of the Goblet in Thanalan. Until recently he suffered with amnesia and lived life as a crude-mannered street thug who hailed from Pearl Lane in Ul'Dah. Prior to his acquisition of the company, his day to day life consisted of seeking means of survival in post-Calamity Eorzea.

===Appearance===

Berrod is a tall and solidly built Highlander male who reaches a proud height of six fulms and five ilms. His body is at its physical peak, wrapped in two hundred and sixty-nine ponz of bulky, well-worked muscle. His most distinguishable feature is the shock of red hair on his head, shaved at the sides and tied into a compact tail at the back. When let down, the hair reaches down to the middle of his back. Bright green eyes peer from behind an oft-folded brow, the prelude to a rather roughly handsome face accented with a neatly trimmed red beard about his hard, square jaw.

His name tells no lies, both the Highlander's arms are powerfully muscled and rather large, with moderate vascularity and a ruddy dusting of hair along his corded forearms. They end in big calloused hands with scarred knuckles -- a testament to both hard labor and training. He proudly sports a prominent chest (also red-swept with hair), a broad back and a well-developed core that tapers slightly at the waist before expanding into trunk-like thighs and calves. While the intricacies of his form are usually obscured by his leather pants, harness and boots, Berrod's big frame is enough to go by.

===Amnesia===
Given the enviromnent that he spent his period of amnesia in (Pearl Lane and the streets of Ul'Dah), Berrod had developed a rather crude, rough, violent and short-tempered personality. The man was as easily pleased as he was angered, however, and found enjoyment in simple things like sharing a meal with friends.

When in a good mood, Berrod was often crudely flirtatious and prone to levity, known for his loud and scandalous barks of laughter. As anger took over he was quick to resort to violence, no matter how imposing his target was. The Highlander was no stranger to obscene language and had no qualms about belting out profanity -- regardless of who was around.

===Recovery===
Berrod now comes across as a serious no-nonsense fellow, though he has his rare moments of levity and other juvenile pursuit. Where his temper was once short and his reactions overt, he now tends to hide most of his reactions behind a solid wall of solemn regard. The wall is not permanent, and tends to fall in the private presence of close friends and lovers.

Berrod is a persistent and hardworking individual, willing to do what it takes to achieve a goal. This manifests in his tendency to work long hours at whatever job he finds as well as train incessantly until he is satisfied with his level of progress -- this has not changed from the period of amnesia to the period of his recovery.

==Combat==
===General===

[[File:Berrod Punch JPG.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Artwork by Liucen/Berrod Armstrong]]

Berrod was the lone student of an aged, surviving member of the Fists of Rhalgr. His fighting style employs powerful blows delivered skillfully with his fists and feet, fueled by the muscles about his frame. He believes in committing his entire body to the fight, and tends to have an advantage when closer to the ground during a melee.

The Highlander is also adept at the use of aether in order to attain a heightened state. Through this augmentation he is able to land faster and more devastating blows -- usually laced with a lightning aspect. A great deal of his strength lies in his actual physical power and endurance, which generally allow his hits to land hard and let him take more punishment. His techniques are clever and flexible, often making a fight with him a challenging puzzle of blows.

==The Chakras==
===The Chakras during the Amnesia Period===

[[File:Silhouette.png|300px|thumb|left|Berrod had mastered the use of three of his chakras, and had been actively training to master the fourth, during his amnesia. Artwork by Liucen/Berrod Armstrong]]

In a bid to understand why he was able to generate occasional surges of lightning from his fists, Berrod discovered that six out of his seven chakras were already opened. He correctly deduced that he had trained quite hard to open them before he lost his memory. Unfortunately, having the chakras open did not give him instant control over the destructive abilities they grant.

Berrod began working on them again from scratch, undertaking intense training and meditation to touch and harness his open chakras one by one. The first he gained control over was his Root, allowing him to aspect the aether flowing through him to earth and gain quite an increase in his endurance, toughness and tolerance for pain. After some more training, Berrod found that he could get dirt to actually cling to him and form a protective layer of sorts. Satisfied with the results, the Highlander moved on to work on his second chakra.

After quite some time and several trials Berrod managed to grasp use of his second chakra, the Sacral Chakra. He saw an instant upsurge in his everyday stamina and energy levels, though not without cost. Given the nature of the chakra, he had gained a significant increase in his appetite for physical pleasures such as food, drink, men and women. Curbing his enthusiasm was a challenge, but one he had decided to rise to. Control of his Sacral Chakra had granted him the ability to heal himself to the extent of seeing injuries knit together and vanish before his eyes. The use of the chakra required him to store aether within it to be expended as healing energy. Once it had been expended, the aether needed to be stockpiled once more. Typically, it took Berrod two to three days for his Sacral to be ready after being spent.

The Highlander finally managed to master his third chakra as well, the Solar Plexus Chakra. The Chakra governed his will and sense of self, further fueling his drive to become stronger. It instilled an odd sense of discipline within him, regarding his training. Through the Solar Plexus, he gained full control over the lightning which he had only been able to occasionally generate before.

One moon after returning from a long journey, Berrod experienced a happy accident during training that allowed him to grasp his fourth Chakra, the Heart. The experience was quite unlike the discovery of the previous three. Unlike the others that he had to learn to unleash, the Heart provided a steady and powerful flow of aether that he had to learn to suppress. As empowering as it was, the volume of aether and his lack of control over it resulted in quite a bit of injury to himself. His first exercises involved constantly and consciously keeping the aether at bay, but recent progress in his training has allowed him to do so without dedicated thought. The aether contained within the heart alternates between fire aspected and unaspected, depending on how passionate Berrod is about the battle when it is released.

Berrod had not yet mastered the Heart; he had ceased his aggressive approach toward it in favor of a slower, safer and more refined method. Much to his displeasure, he admitted that it may take him a matter of years to attain mastery over it. It remained the main subject of his training, and a desperate, double edged gambit in heated battle.

===The Chakras during the Recovery Period===
Berrod's recovery has led to him remembering exactly how to access and effectively utilize all six of his open chakras, though he does so with discretion, reverence and discipline. Given that he had re-mastered the first three during his period of amnesia, not much more improved in terms of his skill with them.

[[File:Sixchakras.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Berrod's recovery has led to him remembering exactly how to access and effectively utilize all six of his open chakras. Artwork by Liucen/Berrod Armstrong]]

His struggle with the Heart evaporated with the recovered knowledge of how to hold the flow at bay and control exactly how much of it he allows into his blows. Regardless of his skill with it however, he still utilizes it only in times of need, given its nature to exhaust after granting strength.

Berrod also remembered his grasp on the fifth Chakra, the Throat, which aspected the aether flowing through him to wind. With it came augmented speed, flexibility, and the very odd ability to amplify his voice for the purpose of chanting inspirational mantras. While nowhere near as effective as the magic of a Bard's song, his mantras contain the ability to grant a slight augmentation to the vigor of those who hear it. He has demonstrated the power of the Throat only once after his recovery, and has not seen reason to use it since.

The sixth chakra, the Mind's Eye, is something that the Highlander has chosen to keep shrouded in mystery. During his single demonstration of it, a bright glow emanated from between his eyes, drawing a chilling comparison to the third eye of the pure blooded Garleans. What purpose it served was left unexplained.

Berrod will speak at length of the legend of the seventh chakra and usually debunk it as a myth, a story of power that only the most special can achieve. He has pushed to his limits and found nothing beyond the sixth -- or so he says.

Regardless of the plethora of abilities granted by his open chakras, Berrod exercises a heavy measure of restraint in terms of their use. He has stated that while numerous and powerful, the abilities are not without their limit, given that they depend on the aetheric capacity of the user. He has stressed that opening chakras are good for increasing the capacity, but the power granted is not infinite. With overuse, a monk's spirit will eventually run dry. In that light, he approaches each challenge with only as much force as it takes to get through it -- opening higher tiers of power as needed.

Usually, it just means punching and kicking a lot.

::* Doing maintenance work for buildings and property.

==Relationships==
===Family===

Berrod has no surviving family at present.

===Friends/Lovers===

[[Caleb Agron]] was a guest at the lounge who Berrod had set his sights on making a one night conquest. The plan went awry as the two Highlanders ended up growing quite close -- close enough to eventually become lovers. Despite the many tests that their relationship has endured and regardless of their often conflicting personalities, the pair remain involved with each other to present day.

[[Caden Agron]] , the twin brother of [[Caleb Agron]]. The beginning of Berrod's acquaintance with the Highlander was turbulent due to a bit of early deception on Caden's part. The twin posed as his brother to seduce Berrod, which almost shattered the twins' relationship. It took several moons for Berrod to trust Caden again, but since the man's recent move to Thanalan, the two of them have resolved their issues and grown close.

[[Zindelo Tarantella]] is the eldest of three 'siblings' who form a performing troupe. The Dusty Dancer was one of the few who didn't balk to Berrod's intimidation and would not succumb to his attempts to establish dominance. It earned him a strange sort of respect from Berrod, and an even stranger attraction. Ill discretion on Berrod's part led to a one night tryst between the two, which oddly enough secured Berrod's loyalty to Zindelo as a friend. Though Berrod regards Zindelo a bit awkwardly at times, he genuinely enjoys the Highlander's company.

[[Sarij Rahzersyn]] , who Berrod affectionately refers to as 'Flowers', is a Sea Wolf who was once a guest at the Spectrum Lounge during Berrod's time there. Berrod befriended Sarij during his stay, and has remained his friend ever since -- even through periods when Sarij had been called out to sea for moons at a time. The two have shared a bed on more than one occasion, but it has not affected the closeness of their friendship. However, Berrod is prone to being a bit abrasive to him at times.

===Friends/Acquaintances===

[[Avenio Naemig]] was Berrod's 'boss' of sorts at the Spectrum Lounge, given his partnership with [[Corin Winterborne]] at the time. In the early days Berrod tended to be careful around the blond Highlander, even more so given his attraction toward Corin. It did not stop him from developing a fierce respect for the man as a fighter. After the events that led to Berrod leaving the lounge, he saw nothing of Avenio for several moons. It was by chance that he met the other in Ul'dah and took the the opportunity to immediately recruit him to the Astral Agents. The two have developed a friendship since then, the earlier tension between them long forgotten.

[[C'eleni Meztli]] first drew Berrod's attention while she was desperately searching for one of her colleagues. The seeker hired him despite his gruff interaction. Since then, they have run into each other a few times. Berrod considers her to be a good person, but remains concerned that her upbeat and optimistic nature leaves her open for disaster.

[[Dev'to Mikah]] was an acquaintance through recruitment, introduced to him by [[Tefh Jinjahl]] . Berrod identified with the Keeper's seemingly carefree nature at first; he enjoyed training and simply loitering about with him. Later on, Berrod began to notice something significantly unstable about the young Keeper and opted to keep a subtle distance between them. Nevertheless, they still remain friends.

[[Gerik Aston]] is an acquaintance mostly through Caleb, but Berrod finds the man's carefree nature intriguing. His first impression of the man wasn't at all favorable; Gerik had loudly hailed him out when he had been trying to meditate for the first time. It shattered his concentration and set his progress back by hours. Later on, Berrod became rather envious of the amount of time Gerik had been spending with Caleb, only to find out that the two had only been engaging in juvenile and playful shenanigans. Exposure to Gerik's happy-go-lucky nature has incubated a bit of protective instinct toward the Highlander.

[[Grave Shadow]] - An enigmatic Hellsguard with whom Berrod has had a roller-coaster friendship, toeing on both ends of dislike and affection. The pair tend to enjoy casual conversation at the Quicksand, and work with one another in a professional capacity when a situation calls for it.

[[Horace Rook]] has only made a few appearances in Berrod's life, but each of them has been extremely significant. The mysterious Midlander has an odd habit of showing up when Berrod is stuck in his development, and is indirectly responsible for Berrod's discovery of his chakras. For a time Berrod believed that Rook was the one who trained him before he lost his memory, but the Midlander revealed that to be untrue. Regardless, Berrod treats the man with a respect he reserves for few others.

[[I'sen Tia]] was introduced to Berrod via I'sen's partner, F'ivahl. Berrod did not have much interaction with him until I'sen took up healing at the Grindstone Tournament. Seeing the Seeker show up every week to tend to the competitors very quickly earned Berrod's respect. Eventually I'sen joined the same company as Berrod, allowing them to work together more closely. Through that, I'sen became Berrod's student in the ways of Pugilism. Whether I'sen suspects it or not, Berrod intends to introduce him to monkhood.

[[Ioakim Tarantella]] is the second of the Tarantella siblings, the adopted brother of [[Zindelo Tarantella]]. Berrod met the man during the Grindstone Tournament and developed an initial dislike of him, based on his insistant nature regarding healing. Following a gentle suggestion from [[Caleb Agron]], Berrod gave Ioakim a chance and moved from outright dislike to casual regard. Only after his affair with Zindelo did Berrod pay Ioakim proper respect; the two had quite a heated discussion over the subject that led to a fight -- a fight that Berrod lost. From then on, Berrod regarded Ioakim as a friend to be protected...even from himself.

[[Jael'li Erisha'an]] and Berrod seemed to be fated for rivalry since the day they met in Ul'Dah. Much to Berrod's surprise, it wasn't the first time he had met the energetic and headstrong Keeper. Jael'li apparently worked for Berrod before his memory loss, something that the Highlander has worked very hard to dismiss -- much to Jael'li's displeasure. He prefers to focus on the present, which involves becoming stronger by the day and hoping to stay one step ahead of the rapidly developing Keeper in his training.

[[Kayllen Stormbringer]] was a bounty hunter with whom Berrod had a few non-hostile chance encounters. Berrod could not explain the underlying dread and unease he felt around the Midlander, but through interaction with him, eventually discovered that Kayllen was one of the key players in the events that led to his memory loss. He did not begrudge the man, for the life before didn't really exist for him. Instead, they established a mutual respect for each other and moved forward as friends.

[[Lottie Forsaidh]] was an acquaintance through the Grindstone Tournament; Berrod began taking notice of her as she healed alongside [[I'sen Tia]]. He has a somewhat child-like respect for her decorum, and does his best to be 'proper' when addressing her -- though he finds no shame in allowing her to see his naturally crude ways. He isn't as invested in her well being as he is with other friends, but will still aid her should she express the need for it.

[[Osric Melkire]] showed up before the Grindstone Tournament one evening and asked Berrod his counsel based on some of the Highlander's writings. Since then, Berrod has engaged the energetic Midlander in a spar and has come away quite impressed. He intends to observe the man's development, and use it as a model for others aspiring to become adept in the art of the fist.

[[Tefh Jinjahl]] is an aquaintance gained off of a chance meeting. The Keeper's strange ways intrigued Berrod to the point of quiet amusement. For a time he maintained a wariness around her, given her ability to seemingly appear out of nowhere. Over time, however, he grew somewhat fond of her and did his best to give her what advice he could to aid her survival in the unforgiving environment of Ul'Dah.

[[Teld're Eska'aldren]] - Though Berrod often blandly refers to the Miqo'te as an 'acquaintance in passing', he tends to enjoy the sparse-worded yet profound conversations that spark between them. He has described the fellow as 'one of the few respectable patrons' in the Quicksand, though would not be so quick to grant him that opinion directly.

[[Val Nunh]] met Berrod on bad terms, but through fighting the two gained a mutual respect for one another that has since then become friendship.

[[Warren Castille]] and Berrod seemed to simply cross paths quite often before an intense match at the Grindstone cemented Berrod's respect for the Highlander. His respect for him has only grown since then, though whenever asked about their 'friendship' he simply answers that they have an 'understanding'. Berrod now oversees the Grindstone tournament under Warren's leadership.

[[Zachary Evans]] - A young midlander who Berrod has taken on as a student. Berrod saw an incredible amount of potential in the fellow and decided to teach him in the Fists' ways. Despite having every appearance of wishing to kill him during almost every lesson, Berrod firmly believes that Zachary can achieve much more than most -- something he conveniently neglects to mention to him.

===Enemies===

[[Quur Vizani]] is an enemy of Berrod's own making. Having struck the man for no more than his own impatient whims, the way Berrod Carried himself earned him Quur's distaste. When he was called out on his less than appropriate behavior, the two men had a bit of a fallout, and have not actively spoken to each other since.

Honestly, it makes me wonder if he's an exhibitionist. Huh? Alright, back on topis! He hits like a Garlean cannon, and the brute force he shows in a fight is intimidating. Although...he tells me about these things called 'Chakras', and has even taught me to use one. It...I'm no coward, but that power, paired with my Inner Beast I've learned to use from Master Behemoth...it frightens me..." - [[Zachary Evans]]

::* "Thought I could bring down mountains, or at least scale 'em. I thought wrong. There's a valley there, though, inbetween. Green, comfortin', invitin'. Helped. I'll be tryin' for the summit again, 'n' I owe that to Armstrong." - [[Osric Melkire]]
::* "S'one'f th'strongest guys I know. I owe a lot t'the man. 'e was teachin' me things before I even knew 'e could be teachin' me things. F'there's anyone in this world y'can ever count on, it'd be ol' Berrod." - [[Val Nunh]]
::* "Armstrong's a handsome bastard. He's far too young tae remember the homeland, of course, but it's spirit is alive and well in his lust for battle. I'd often see him scrapping in the Lane, and it was amusing tae see the nervous looks of the nearby Blades. I expect he did naught tae better their perception of us." - [[Brynhilde Wulf]]
::* "Berrod Armstrong? Hmm... I'm not sure what to make of him, he can fluctuate between wise and gruff quite quickly, but for some reason... I just know he's a good person at heart, so that's all that really matters." - [[C'eleni Meztli]]

==History/Timeline==

At the tender age of three, Berrod was taken away from Ala Mhigo by his mother, who sought to flee from the invasion of the Garlean Empire. In an effort to buy them more time to escape, his father remained behind to fight and was presumably killed in action.

Berrod's early life was spent in the rough environments of over-crowded refugee camps, which moulded him into a tough and sometimes violent child. When he was eight he bore witness to his mother being robbed, beaten, raped and subsequently killed by a pair of men from another camp. He was dragged off with them and made to serve a leader of a small gang within the camp.

The boy spent the next five years in captivity and servitude, treated rather roughly by all his captors save one, an old Monk who had once served with the Fist of Rhalgr. The man taught him how to defend himself without a weapon, and how to strike down those who did him wrong. While the old man had no intention for Berrod to actually use the knowledge, the then thirteen year old boy used it to hatch a plot of vengeance against his captor and the men who murdered his mother.

At the end of the fifth year he struck, murdering the leader of the gang while he laid with one of his women. The young boy offered the woman and the old Monk a chance to escape. The Monk declined and together Berrod and the woman left for the boy's former camp. With five years gone, the inhabitants had long forgotten him and considered him an invader from the other settlement. It took some doing, but he and is charge managed to convince the bristling group to let them in. Berrod bargained with the leader of the camp to help teach the young men and women how to fight, based on what he had learned from the Monk.

Order collapsed in the other, more violent camp and while they reeled in conflict for leadership, Berrod trained with the young men and women, taking three years to groom them into a veritable fighting force. By the time the other camp recovered and decided to try an invasion to expand their territory, Berrod's camp was ready. They defeated the invaders and offered the fighters amnesty on the grounds that they would fight for Berrod's camp. The influence this course of events granted the sixteen year old Hyur over the people quickly led to him becoming the leader of the now combined camps. At that time, the old Monk who had trained him was nowhere to be found.

The consolidated camp enjoyed a year of relative prosperity before the massive Garlean invasion and the Calamity struck. Their numbers were decimated and their resources all but obliterated. Left with only the strongest and toughest among the group, the hardened young man resolved to do whatever it took to survive. That resolve led to the formation of a deadly group of bandits who took up territory in Thanalan and had no mercy on any who would oppose or impose upon them. The group distanced themselves from their Ala Mhigan heritage and began recruiting from outside their race.

[[File:Berrod as Redhammer.jpg|250px|thumb|left|]]

The need for survival turned to greed, and after three years Berrod had become a ruthless Bandit ringleader, going under the name Redhammer. It was only a matter of time before their operations drew the notice of the authorities. With the help of a few mercenaries, the Immortal Flames swept through Berrod's base of operations, overwhelming his forces. Those who were not killed or allowed to run were captured. Berrod himself was taken down in a rather rough battle, left for dead with a grisly head injury.

When he awoke he found himself in a pile of corpses taken out to be burned, and managed to crawl away and into the desert. He made it only two malms before collapsing of fatigue and blood-loss once more. The twenty year old man was found and picked up by a merchant travelling to Ul'Dah, who nursed him back to health over a period of six months. Berrod, however, had no memory of several things he had done during his lifetime, including his leadership, his crimes -- and his training. The man was very nearly a blank slate. He recalled his proper name, had vague recollections of his mother, and understood in his heart that he had a very rough time growing up.

In an effort to make the best of things, the powerful-looking Highlander decided to leave the forgotten past behind and focus only on the future. He thanked the merchant for helping him and worked with him for six months before parting ways. Adopting the ways of a common street thug, Berrod resolved to live life to the fullest and began another regime of rigorous training within his tour of Ul'Dahn life.

It's been three years since then, and his story is still being written.

Berrod's journey forward led him into the employ of [[Corin Winterborne]], who ran the Spectrum Lounge hot spring resort and Spectrum Guard adventuring company in Upper La Noscea. Berrod worked as a groundsman and bar-backer at the resort and provided support for the company when needed. During his time at the resort he met several interesting individuals, including [[Caleb Agron]] who has since become his lover.

A series of unprecidented events saw the end of the Spectrum Guard and a transfer of ownership of the Spectral Lounge. Berrod, Corin and Caleb eventually travelled to the Silver Bazaar in Western Thanalan to rent accommodation on the arid seaside premises. No longer able to serve as a bar-backer or groundsman, Berrod began working temporary jobs about Thanalan and Ul'Dah.

Though his stay in the Bazaar was intended to be a point of Transition, he enjoyed the desert life, the atmosphere of nearby Ul'Dah and took part in the weekly Grindstone Tournament with gusto.

Berrod was later approached by a Sea Wolf who went by the Hellsguard name of 'Bursting Mountain'. Mountain offered him a job as a recruiter for an adventuring company which he took without hesitation. The Highlander brought a great deal of his friends into the company's employ and felt personally responsible when things went a bit sour. It turned out that Mountain and his hires were to be used as test subjects for the company's rather shady experiments. Berrod remained loyal to Mountain and helped him break away from the larger company to form his own. The Highlander took up the simple job of Groundsman at the headquarters of the new company, known as the Astral Agency.

After some time spent working at the Agency's headquarters, Berrod realized that he had stagnated somewhat, and decided to pull himself up and start developing once more. No longer did he participate in the Grindstone Tournament, for the contest did not allow him to train to his full potential. Along with [[Caleb Agron]] , Berrod set off on a journey focused on training and growth through worldly experience.

After three moons of travelling and adventure, Berrod returned to Ul'Dah to the news that Bursting Mountain had been abducted by perpetrators unknown. After working with a team from the Astral Agency to locate the Director, he was disappointed to find out that the entire ordeal was naught but an assessment. Berrod grew disenchanted with the organization -- and not a moment too soon. Mountain decided that he would relinquish the assets to a selection of the Agency and move on to other ventures.

Ownership of the Goblet property was split amongst a few of the Agents, and Berrod was given the responsibility of managing it. Before he left, Mountain transformed the office into a tavern and fighting ring, so that his former employees would still have a source of income.

Eventually Berrod decided to get back into the adventuring and mercenary business, reopening the doors of the Astral Agency while closing the ones to the fighting ring. After a while he became overwhelmed by the burdens of leadership, unable to cope with most of what his job demanded. To that effect, [[Kayllen Stormbringer]] hatched a plan to restore the man's memories and make him more capable for the task.

The plan succeeded, and Berrod remembered near everything from the years before his time in Ul'Dah. Most of the memories came along with a certain note of trauma, but he stubbornly persevered. With new insight, new outlook and a new demeanor, he stepped up to lead the Agents into the successful business it remains to date.
