[[File:Ancelcomm.jpg|200px|thumb|left]]Ancel Forestier, last born of the House Forestier in Ishgard. Knight by legacy, teacher by trade, forester at heart.
<section end=featured-blurb />

==Overview==
'''[The House Forestier]''' Established in the bustling rise of the Halonic Inquisition, a small family of converts hailing from the Black Shroud migrated to Coerthas to learn the teaching of Halone. Thus the Forestier line was created. A family of horticultural fanatics by trade, the men of House Forestier are most often employed as loggers for the Holy See. Women are most commonly botanists or florists, providing medicinal herbs and decorative plants for doctors and peddlers alike. Ancel, a man born many generations down the line, was the first of the Forestiers to be summoned for active duty as an Ishgardian Outrider knight. Rather disinterested by the traditional sword-and-board his comrades commonly donned, Ancel requested he remain deployed with an axe, for it was the one tool his lineage had mastery over generations of use.

'''[3.2, The Gears of Change]''' Times are hard in Ishgard, the Dragonsong War is reaching an all-time high, the consumption of the Azure Dragoon by the dreaded primeval wyrm Nidhogg putting the entire Holy See on edge. Busy scribbling away at countless scripts and assignments from his students, Ancel has been waiting patiently for the day even he, a retired knight of Ishgard, would be summoned as garrison for the final confrontation with Nidhogg. Though he knew when it would all come to a close that he would be able to teach full-time, as peacetime would be bestowed upon the war-ravaged nation of Ishgard.

'''[3.3, Revenge of The Horde]''' With another triumph by the hand of the Warrior of Light, Ishgard is liberated from the age-old adversary that haunted the Holy See the past few moons. Officially relieved from duty and payed duly in victory bonds, Ancel closed his book in Ishgard to see a new chapter written in Thanalan. Here he hopes he may find a new calling among the rowdy locals, purchasing land and opening a school for would-be gladiators and miscellaneous vigilantes alike. On his own time, Ancel spends his days toiling away at his garden, reaping and sowing countless species of flora to peddle to merchants in the inner city, hoping that even in retirement he'd live a fulfilling life.

"''I will not die until I achieve something.
Even though the '''ideal''' is high, I never give in.
Therefore, I never die with regrets.''"
-Flynt Reddard

<section begin=featured-blurb />
Flynt Reddard, the ''Hyena'', is a modern man. A highly troubled individual, his previous endeavors as a piracy confidant and former crime-lord landed him in hot water. To cope with the stress, Flynt mindlessly wanders the realm to cause all sorts of havoc, assuming the role of the "necessary evil" to counterbalance the overabundance of zealous heroes and overconfident falsifiers. Certainly sociable, Flynt takes pride in his work as a capricious investor, tossing gil at anything that would ultimately better his image.
<section end=featured-blurb />

==Overview==

Flynt Reddard (legally referred to as ''Flynt ban Reddard'' under Garlean annexation naming conventions), in a short statement, is a problem child. From a rather wealthy family, Flynt grew up spoiled; taught at a young age that money is power. Living by that standard, Flynt constantly seeks a means to be the center of attention, his ultimate goal being known throughout the realm. Vices get the better of him, succumbing to a compulsive need to take chances, throwing gil into gambling rings, chocobo races, and pit fights, and other assorted rabble-rousing antics. Nothing stops the man from getting off his high-horse to get his hands dirty provided he's goaded (often by his own naivete) into such situations. Rather mediocre at swordplay, self-taught; he's far from a skilled fighter, but rather dependent on cheap tricks.

'''[1.0 - 2.0, A Realm Reborn]''' From Ala Mhigo, he bore witness to the mass exodus of the Highlander clan at a young age, staying behind with his conforming father. Raised by Garlean laws and ideals, he was molded in their image, and therefore found sympathy among the tyranny. Drawing his love for their technology, he bears a soft spot for the Empire in his heart despite their antagonism toward the Eorzean states. Such sympathies made Flynt into a rather uncaring and passive person, strongly preferring to avoid the topic of his citizenship as much as possible knowing full well of the possible repercussions. Such Garlean predisposition also factors into Flynt's contempt toward non-hyur races as well as his torn-up psyche, a result of being subject to so many ideologies under such traumatic means. His reality is warped and he knows this, he simply tries to believe it's normal, healthy even.

'''[2.1 - 2.3, Into the Maelstrom, Defenders of Eorzea]''' Coming to Eorzea, Flynt found employ under the Fangs, a Free Company that fronted as a shipping corporation, when in reality, it was a guild for would-be pirates. That is, before the sudden disappearance of the founding members, rendering Flynt a lost cause with nowhere to run. His experience with the Fangs brought him into a fondness to knife combat, rogue methodology, and ultimately, the reformation of his Ninja training from his time in Garlean care. Seeking refuge with the Wandering Tonberry hunters guild, Flynt lived mostly in silence in their back rooms, laying low, keeping to himself with his few hobbies. During this dormant state, Flynt had established himself in the investing game.

'''[2.4 - 2.5, Dreams of Ice, Before the Fall]''' Learning of his Fangs employer Akama Kharn's progeny somewhere in Eorzea, searching for Flynt, the two come into contact and gather the remaining Fangs scattered by the sudden dissolution months prior into the new and improved Rising Claws. Leading second-in-command as a Sky Master, Flynt ran a side-business with his fortune through a gambling ring which soon collapsed in on itself, rendering Flynt not so fortunate.

'''[3.0 - 3.1, Heavensward, As Goes Light]''' Flynt, much more resolved on how he wishes to live his life,now dedicates himself to managing his nephew Orenji's crew through less-than-conventional means. Assuming the role of the opposer, Flynt dictates his lax moral code among crew, teaching them that it's completely okay to be bad, for it is required in a multitude of instances. Regained in his material wealth, Flynt spends downtime philandering, wining and dining, as well as taking personal initiative to exterminate a long-time threat to him and his comrades; the Void. As an up-and-coming Void hunter, Flynt wishes to apply his set of skills to a noble cause whilst retaining the joys of being a agent provocateur he had prior to the hobby.

Some months pass and it just seems that being a good guy isn't what the Twelve saw Flynt to be. In a relapse of old habits, Flynt took to spying on his comrades, finding every single flaw, looking for excuses to discharge them without fair trial, and therefore abusing his right as an officer. He found two traitors, the perpetually fishy Gospel and the never-present Yvain. Without a moment of hesitation, the Hyena concocted a plan to see through their excommunication without directly intervening and informing the captain, who he himself has gone a tad too soft for a merciless crew. Over the course of two nights, one was sentenced to exile for fraternizing with an alleged succubi in disguise and the other fired on the spot for abandoning his post, giving Captain Kharn the dark reminder of what it means to be resolute. Perching himself at his captain's side, Flynt the Hyena returned to the uglier side of reality, where he belonged best; a merciless liar who seeks only to further his agenda and his captain's. Only fate knows where a man so wicked may finally find balance between the madness of the Void and the personal need for success.

*'''Drinks: ''' Mint water
*'''Scent:''' Goldbile, Napalm.
*'''Place:''' Pharos Sirius, Costa Del Sol, The Burning Wall

=== '''''Religion''''' ===

Garlean law prohibited the practice of nonsecular teachings and practices in Ala Mhigo, therefore nonreligious.

=== '''''Alignment''''' ===

Chaotic Good

== Personality ==

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===

* Gambling addict
* Uncaring to an extent
* Turncoat
* Mentally unstable: exhibits disassociating identities, arbitrary mood swings
* Dangerously susceptible to motion sickness
* Weak-willed, succumbs to his vices easily

=== '''''Fears''''' ===

* Losing his privileged lifestyle
* The paranormal
* Though not quite a fear, his dislike for fast locomotion falls into his need to look pristine. Motion sickness will inevitably make him throw up, destroying that image.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===

* Can play the piano
* Charismatic, an alluring figure.
* Convincing liar and manipulator.
* Conversational in most spoken Eorzean dialects.
* Has a sheltered love for making clothing, sewing in particular.

=== '''''Intelligence''''' ===

* Equates to a real university-level military school education after the Garlean occupation of Ala Mhigo. Terribly censored throughout it's political views and biased in Garlean favor, an education is still an education, despite its imperfections.

== Abilities and Skills ==

=== '''''Personal''''' ===

* Hit-and-run mentality: Flynt is frail, competent, but frail. He in no sense has the physical capability to last in drawn-out combat, so he resorts to sabotage: poisons, ambushes, sucker-punches, or more aptly setting whatever it is he's fighting aflame and high-tailing it.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===

* A pair of baselards purchased from an antique store. Restored to perfection, they're primary purpose is to hack away at much larger foes, a much more practical pair of fighting knives reserved for man-sized encounters.

* A self-fashioned improvised flintlock firearm strapped to Flynt's right hand wrist, single ball bearing shot fired by a powder charge. Concealed beneath long sleeves. ((Shown in game as the Gordian wristband.))

* A lightweight full-metal axe, it's not the sharpest nor the heaviest, but it's real trickery lies when elementally charged, striking with arcane damage in tandem with physical impact.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===

* Mudras: By using a variety of hand-signs and natural aether manipulation, Flynt can channel said aether into offensive and defensive spells.

* Hide: Flynt can temporarily distort his innate aether to cloak himself into his surroundings, light refracts around him, not quite removing him from the picture, but making him appear mirage-like in motion. This cannot be performed in heavy armor.

=== '''''Misc.''''' ===

* Prismatic Armor: Purely cosmetic, a single set of armor with aether-sensitive crystals melded into the alloy to grant Flynt a quick change of flavor. Never killed to be dressed for the occasion, right?

*[[Orenji Kharn]] [ ● ⍟ ] Flynt's adoptive nephew, taken after his father's disappearance and Orenji's sudden emergence in Eorzea. Sky Captain of the Rising Claws. Known to favor ice cream and trigger paternal instincts within Flynt.

*[[Vyse Gilder]] [ ● ⍟ ] Another Rising Claw, one of the higher ups alongside Flynt. Alright fellow, quiet. Flynt questions his unhealthy affinity for goggles and similar eyewear.

*[[Sinna Lockwood]] [ ⍟ ] A woman after his brother's affections, Flynt can't help to find himself captivated at points with this little psychopath.

*[[Gospel Gestalt]] [ ● ⍟ ] Claws Sworn Raven, peculiar fellow. Reports say he's a dollmaker, Flynt doesn't buy a word of that for one bit. Observed carefully, but not perceived as anything of danger. Contributes to the company regularly enough to maintain Flynt's good graces.

*[[Jenivieve Ravendale]] [ ● ⍟ ] Another former lover-turned-Claw, a trait somewhat common in the Rising Claws' female populace. A highly capable spellcaster, Flynt does hold some distrust in her maternal disposition toward his nephew.

*[[Sasha Rochester]] [ ● 💗 ] A woman responsible for the times Flynt has fallen financially unstable, causing a ''very'' unhappy Hyena to be left behind in temporary poverty. If it weren't for her devilish good looks and Flynt's questionable attraction toward her, she'd be treated more like an enemy than the hate-lover she currently is.

*[[Vinzer Reddard]] [ ● ⍟ ] Flynt's brother broken out of Stonesthrow under conviction of war crimes. Now a part-time Claw, nobody really knows what's his deal.

*[[Warren Castille]] [ ● ] A man who's seen the most of Flynt through the passing years. Finally on a first-name basis, Flynt takes a strong liking to the man; finding a familiar comfort in him and his subjection to celebrity status. Perhaps of all the people Flynt befriended, Warren is somebody he really feels at home with.

::*"The man has a fetish for that rusty revolver of his, it's troublesome to recall."
::*"Those dice he has, they're something else... one ''thousand'' sides?"
::*"The man's a ghost, you will never find a picture of him, any legal documents... even his bank-notes are signed with a pseudonym."
::*"Did-- Did that man's armor just change colors on the fly...? I swore he was gold-- bronze? Now he's a bright green!"

"''I will not die until I achieve something.
Even though the '''ideal''' is high, I never give in.
Therefore, I never die with regrets.''"
-Flynt Reddard

<section begin=featured-blurb />
Flynt Reddard, the ''Hyena'', is a modern man. A highly troubled individual, his previous endeavors as a piracy confidant and former crime-lord landed him in hot water. To cope with the stress, Flynt mindlessly wanders the realm to cause all sorts of havoc, assuming the role of the "necessary evil" to counterbalance the overabundance of zealous heroes and overconfident falsifiers. Certainly sociable, Flynt takes pride in his work as a capricious investor, tossing gil at anything that would ultimately better his image.
<section end=featured-blurb />

==Overview==

Flynt Reddard (legally referred to as ''Flynt ban Reddard'' under Garlean annexation naming conventions), in a short statement, is a problem child. From a rather wealthy family, Flynt grew up spoiled; taught at a young age that money is power. Living by that standard, Flynt constantly seeks a means to be the center of attention, his ultimate goal being known throughout the realm. Vices get the better of him, succumbing to a compulsive need to take chances, throwing gil into gambling rings, chocobo races, and pit fights, and other assorted rabble-rousing antics. Nothing stops the man from getting off his high-horse to get his hands dirty provided he's goaded (often by his own naivete) into such situations. Rather mediocre at swordplay, self-taught; he's far from a skilled fighter, but rather dependent on cheap tricks.

'''[1.0 - 2.0, A Realm Reborn]''' From Ala Mhigo, he bore witness to the mass exodus of the Highlander clan at a young age, staying behind with his conforming father. Raised by Garlean laws and ideals, he was molded in their image, and therefore found sympathy among the tyranny. Drawing his love for their technology, he bears a soft spot for the Empire in his heart despite their antagonism toward the Eorzean states. Such sympathies made Flynt into a rather uncaring and passive person, strongly preferring to avoid the topic of his citizenship as much as possible knowing full well of the possible repercussions. Such Garlean predisposition also factors into Flynt's contempt toward non-hyur races as well as his torn-up psyche, a result of being subject to so many ideologies under such traumatic means. His reality is warped and he knows this, he simply tries to believe it's normal, healthy even.

'''[2.1 - 2.3, Into the Maelstrom, Defenders of Eorzea]''' Coming to Eorzea, Flynt found employ under the Fangs, a Free Company that fronted as a shipping corporation, when in reality, it was a guild for would-be pirates. That is, before the sudden disappearance of the founding members, rendering Flynt a lost cause with nowhere to run. His experience with the Fangs brought him into a fondness to knife combat, rogue methodology, and ultimately, the reformation of his Ninja training from his time in Garlean care. Seeking refuge with the Wandering Tonberry hunters guild, Flynt lived mostly in silence in their back rooms, laying low, keeping to himself with his few hobbies. During this dormant state, Flynt had established himself in the investing game.

'''[2.4 - 2.5, Dreams of Ice, Before the Fall]''' Learning of his Fangs employer Akama Kharn's progeny somewhere in Eorzea, searching for Flynt, the two come into contact and gather the remaining Fangs scattered by the sudden dissolution months prior into the new and improved Rising Claws. Leading second-in-command as a Sky Master, Flynt ran a side-business with his fortune through a gambling ring which soon collapsed in on itself, rendering Flynt not so fortunate.

'''[3.0 - 3.1, Heavensward, As Goes Light]''' Flynt, much more resolved on how he wishes to live his life,now dedicates himself to managing his nephew Orenji's crew through less-than-conventional means. Assuming the role of the opposer, Flynt dictates his lax moral code among crew, teaching them that it's completely okay to be bad, for it is required in a multitude of instances. Regained in his material wealth, Flynt spends downtime philandering, wining and dining, as well as taking personal initiative to exterminate a long-time threat to him and his comrades; the Void. As an up-and-coming Void hunter, Flynt wishes to apply his set of skills to a noble cause whilst retaining the joys of being a agent provocateur he had prior to the hobby.

Some months pass and it just seems that being a good guy isn't what the Twelve saw Flynt to be. In a relapse of old habits, Flynt took to spying on his comrades, finding every single flaw, looking for excuses to discharge them without fair trial, and therefore abusing his right as an officer. He found two traitors, the perpetually fishy Gospel and the never-present Yvain. Without a moment of hesitation, the Hyena concocted a plan to see through their excommunication without directly intervening and informing the captain, who he himself has gone a tad too soft for a merciless crew. Over the course of two nights, one was sentenced to exile for fraternizing with an alleged succubi in disguise and the other fired on the spot for abandoning his post, giving Captain Kharn the dark reminder of what it means to be resolute. Perching himself at his captain's side, Flynt the Hyena returned to the uglier side of reality, where he belonged best; a merciless liar who seeks only to further his agenda and his captain's. Only fate knows where a man so wicked may finally find balance between the madness of the Void and the personal need for success.

=== '''''Religion''''' ===

Garlean law prohibited the practice of nonsecular teachings and practices in Ala Mhigo, therefore nonreligious.

=== '''''Alignment''''' ===

Chaotic Good

== Personality ==

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===

* Gambling addict
* Uncaring to an extent
* Turncoat
* Mentally unstable: exhibits disassociating identities, arbitrary mood swings
* Dangerously susceptible to motion sickness
* Weak-willed, succumbs to his vices easily

=== '''''Fears''''' ===

* Losing his privileged lifestyle
* The paranormal
* Though not quite a fear, his dislike for fast locomotion falls into his need to look pristine. Motion sickness will inevitably make him throw up, destroying that image.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===

* Can play the piano
* Charismatic, an alluring figure.
* Convincing liar and manipulator.
* Conversational in most spoken Eorzean dialects.
* Has a sheltered love for making clothing, sewing in particular.

=== '''''Intelligence''''' ===

* Equates to a real university-level education after the Garlean occupation of Ala Mhigo. Terribly censored throughout it's political views and biased in Garlean favor, an education is still an education, despite its imperfections.

== Abilities and Skills ==

=== '''''Personal''''' ===

* Hit-and-run mentality: Flynt is frail, competent, but frail. He in no sense has the physical capability to last in drawn-out combat, so he resorts to sabotage: poisons, ambushes, sucker-punches, or more aptly setting whatever it is he's fighting aflame and high-tailing it.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===

* A pair of baselards purchased from an antique store. Restored to perfection, they're much more fit for premeditated combat, slathered in an arrangement of soporifics, anesthetics, hallucinogenic salves, and neurotoxins derived from assorted flora and fauna.

* A self-fashioned improvised flintlock firearm strapped to Flynt's right hand wrist, single ball bearing shot fired by a powder charge. Concealed beneath long sleeves. ((Shown in game as the Gordian wristband.))

* A lightweight full-metal axe, it's not the sharpest nor the heaviest, but it's real trickery lies when elementally charged, striking with arcane damage in tandem with physical impact.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===

* Mudras: By using a variety of hand-signs and natural aether manipulation, Flynt can channel said aether into offensive and defensive spells.

* Hide: Flynt can temporarily distort his innate aether to cloak himself into his surroundings, light refracts around him, not quite removing him from the picture, but making him appear mirage-like in motion.

=== '''''Misc.''''' ===

* Prismatic Armor: Purely cosmetic, a single set of armor with aether-sensitive crystals melded into the alloy to grant Flynt a quick change of flavor. Never killed to be dressed for the occasion, right?

*[[Orenji Kharn]] [ ● ⍟ ] Flynt's adoptive nephew, taken after his father's disappearance and Orenji's sudden emergence in Eorzea. Sky Captain of the Rising Claws. Known to favor ice cream and trigger paternal instincts within Flynt.

*[[Vyse Gilder]] [ ● ⍟ ] Another Rising Claw, one of the higher ups alongside Flynt. Alright fellow, quiet. Flynt questions his unhealthy affinity for goggles and similar eyewear.

*[[Sinna Lockwood]] [ ⍟ ] A woman after his brother's affections, Flynt can't help to find himself captivated at points with this little psychopath.

*[[Tamm'lin Maertena]] [ ● 💗 ] Not the prettiest woman on the block, but certainly the most ambitious.

*[[Gospel Gestalt]] [ ● ⍟ ] Claws Sworn Raven, peculiar fellow. Reports say he's a dollmaker, Flynt doesn't buy a word of that for one bit. Observed carefully, but not perceived as anything of danger. Contributes to the company regularly enough to maintain Flynt's good graces.

*[[Yvain Dulimont]] [ ● ] An Ishgardian knight subject to Flynt's doubt in reliability, proven after correlating his involvement in the death of a former lover and fellow Claw.

*[[Memith Ganajai]] [ ● ⍟ ] Flynt's former lover and now adopted niece by Orenji's discretion, leading Flynt to be pinned under the status of "weird uncle". Regardless, Flynt respects her, albeit wishes he could of treated her better.

*[[Jenivieve Ravendale]] [ ● ⍟ ] Another former lover-turned-Claw, a trait somewhat common in the Rising Claws' female populace. A highly capable spellcaster, Flynt does hold some distrust in her maternal disposition toward his nephew.

*[[Sasha Rochester]] [ ● 💗 ] A woman responsible for the times Flynt has fallen financially unstable, causing a ''very'' unhappy Hyena to be left behind in temporary poverty. If it weren't for her devilish good looks and Flynt's questionable attraction toward her, she'd be treated more like an enemy than the hate-lover she currently is.

*[[Vinzer Reddard]] [ ● ⍟ ] Flynt's brother broken out of Stonesthrow under conviction of war crimes. Now a part-time Claw, nobody really knows what's his deal.

*[[Warren Castille]] [ ● ] A man who's seen the most of Flynt through the passing years. Finally on a first-name basis, Flynt takes a strong liking to the man; finding a familiar comfort in him and his subjection to celebrity status. Perhaps of all the people Flynt befriended, Warren is somebody he really feels at home with.

"''I will not die until I achieve something.
Even though the '''ideal''' is high, I never give in.
Therefore, I never die with regrets.''"
-Flynt Reddard

<section begin=featured-blurb />
Flynt Reddard, the ''Hyena'', is a modern man. A highly troubled individual, his previous endeavors as a piracy confidant and former crime-lord landed him in hot water. To cope with the stress, Flynt mindlessly wanders the realm to cause all sorts of havoc, assuming the role of the "necessary evil" to counterbalance the overabundance of zealous heroes and overconfident falsifiers. Certainly sociable, Flynt takes pride in his work as a capricious investor, tossing gil at anything that would ultimately better his image.

==Overview==

Flynt Reddard (legally referred to as ''Flynt ban Reddard'' under Garlean annexation naming conventions), in a short statement, is a problem child. From a rather wealthy family, Flynt grew up spoiled; taught at a young age that money is power. Living by that standard, Flynt constantly seeks a means to be the center of attention, his ultimate goal being known throughout the realm. Vices get the better of him, succumbing to a compulsive need to take chances, throwing gil into gambling rings, chocobo races, and pit fights, and other assorted rabble-rousing antics. Nothing stops the man from getting off his high-horse to get his hands dirty provided he's goaded (often by his own naivete) into such situations. Rather mediocre at swordplay, self-taught; he's far from a skilled fighter, but rather dependent on cheap tricks.

'''[1.0 - 2.0, A Realm Reborn]''' From Ala Mhigo, he bore witness to the mass exodus of the Highlander clan at a young age, staying behind with his conforming father. Raised by Garlean laws and ideals, he was molded in their image, and therefore found sympathy among the tyranny. Drawing his love for their technology, he bears a soft spot for the Empire in his heart despite their antagonism toward the Eorzean states. Such sympathies made Flynt into a rather uncaring and passive person, strongly preferring to avoid the topic of his citizenship as much as possible knowing full well of the possible repercussions. Such Garlean predisposition also factors into Flynt's contempt toward non-hyur races as well as his torn-up psyche, a result of being subject to so many ideologies under such traumatic means. His reality is warped and he knows this, he simply tries to believe it's normal, healthy even.

'''[2.1 - 2.3, Into the Maelstrom, Defenders of Eorzea]''' Coming to Eorzea, Flynt found employ under the Fangs, a Free Company that fronted as a shipping corporation, when in reality, it was a guild for would-be pirates. That is, before the sudden disappearance of the founding members, rendering Flynt a lost cause with nowhere to run. His experience with the Fangs brought him into a fondness to knife combat, rogue methodology, and ultimately, the reformation of his Ninja training from his time in Garlean care. Seeking refuge with the Wandering Tonberry hunters guild, Flynt lived mostly in silence in their back rooms, laying low, keeping to himself with his few hobbies. During this dormant state, Flynt had established himself in the investing game.

'''[2.4 - 2.5, Dreams of Ice, Before the Fall]''' Learning of his Fangs employer Akama Kharn's progeny somewhere in Eorzea, searching for Flynt, the two come into contact and gather the remaining Fangs scattered by the sudden dissolution months prior into the new and improved Rising Claws. Leading second-in-command as a Sky Master, Flynt ran a side-business with his fortune through a gambling ring which soon collapsed in on itself, rendering Flynt not so fortunate.

'''[3.0 - 3.1, Heavensward, As Goes Light]''' Flynt, much more resolved on how he wishes to live his life,now dedicates himself to managing his nephew Orenji's crew through less-than-conventional means. Assuming the role of the opposer, Flynt dictates his lax moral code among crew, teaching them that it's completely okay to be bad, for it is required in a multitude of instances. Regained in his material wealth, Flynt spends downtime philandering, wining and dining, as well as taking personal initiative to exterminate a long-time threat to him and his comrades; the Void. As an up-and-coming Void hunter, Flynt wishes to apply his set of skills to a noble cause whilst retaining the joys of being a agent provocateur he had prior to the hobby.

Some months pass and it just seems that being a good guy isn't what the Twelve saw Flynt to be. In a relapse of old habits, Flynt took to spying on his comrades, finding every single flaw, looking for excuses to discharge them without fair trial, and therefore abusing his right as an officer. He found two traitors, the perpetually fishy Gospel and the never-present Yvain. Without a moment of hesitation, the Hyena concocted a plan to see through their excommunication without directly intervening and informing the captain, who he himself has gone a tad too soft for a merciless crew. Over the course of two nights, one was sentenced to exile for fraternizing with an alleged succubi in disguise and the other fired on the spot for abandoning his post, giving Captain Kharn the dark reminder of what it means to be resolute. Perching himself at his captain's side, Flynt the Hyena returned to the uglier side of reality, where he belonged best; a merciless liar who seeks only to further his agenda and his captain's. Only fate knows where a man so wicked may finally find balance between the madness of the Void and the personal need for success.

=== '''''Religion''''' ===

=== '''''Alignment''''' ===

Chaotic Good

== Personality ==

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===

* Gambling addict
* Uncaring to an extent
* Turncoat
* Mentally unstable: exhibits disassociating identities, arbitrary mood swings
* Dangerously susceptible to motion sickness
* Weak-willed, succumbs to his vices easily

=== '''''Fears''''' ===

* Losing his privileged lifestyle
* The paranormal
* Though not quite a fear, his dislike for fast locomotion falls into his need to look pristine. Motion sickness will inevitably make him throw up, destroying that image.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===

* Can play the piano
* Charismatic, an alluring figure.
* Convincing liar and manipulator.
* Conversational in most spoken Eorzean dialects.
* Has a sheltered love for making clothing, sewing in particular.

=== '''''Intelligence''''' ===

* Equates to a real university-level education after the Garlean occupation of Ala Mhigo. Terribly censored throughout it's political views and biased in Garlean favor, an education is still an education, despite its imperfections.

== Abilities and Skills ==

=== '''''Personal''''' ===

* Hit-and-run mentality: Flynt is frail, competent, but frail. He in no sense has the physical capability to last in drawn-out combat, so he resorts to sabotage: poisons, ambushes, sucker-punches, or more aptly setting whatever it is he's fighting aflame and high-tailing it.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===

* A pair of baselards purchased from an antique store. Restored to perfection, they're much more fit for premeditated combat, slathered in an arrangement of soporifics, anesthetics, hallucinogenic salves, and neurotoxins derived from assorted flora and fauna.

* A self-fashioned improvised flintlock firearm strapped to Flynt's right hand wrist, single ball bearing shot fired by a powder charge. Concealed beneath long sleeves. ((Shown in game as the Gordian wristband.))

* A lightweight full-metal axe, it's not the sharpest nor the heaviest, but it's real trickery lies when elementally charged, striking with arcane damage in tandem with physical impact.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===

* Mudras: By using a variety of hand-signs and natural aether manipulation, Flynt can channel said aether into offensive and defensive spells.

* Hide: Flynt can temporarily distort his innate aether to cloak himself into his surroundings, light refracts around him, not quite removing him from the picture, but making him appear mirage-like in motion.

=== '''''Misc.''''' ===

* Prismatic Armor: Purely cosmetic, a single set of armor with aether-sensitive crystals melded into the alloy to grant Flynt a quick change of flavor. Never killed to be dressed for the occasion, right?

*[[Orenji Kharn]] [ ● ⍟ ] Flynt's adoptive nephew, taken after his father's disappearance and Orenji's sudden emergence in Eorzea. Sky Captain of the Rising Claws. Known to favor ice cream and trigger paternal instincts within Flynt.

*[[Vyse Gilder]] [ ● ⍟ ] Another Rising Claw, one of the higher ups alongside Flynt. Alright fellow, quiet. Flynt questions his unhealthy affinity for goggles and similar eyewear.

*[[Sinna Lockwood]] [ ⍟ ] A woman after his brother's affections, Flynt can't help to find himself captivated at points with this little psychopath.

*[[Tamm'lin Maertena]] [ ● 💗 ] Not the prettiest woman on the block, but certainly the most ambitious.

*[[Gospel Gestalt]] [ ● ⍟ ] Claws Sworn Raven, peculiar fellow. Reports say he's a dollmaker, Flynt doesn't buy a word of that for one bit. Observed carefully, but not perceived as anything of danger. Contributes to the company regularly enough to maintain Flynt's good graces.

*[[Yvain Dulimont]] [ ● ] An Ishgardian knight subject to Flynt's doubt in reliability, proven after correlating his involvement in the death of a former lover and fellow Claw.

*[[Memith Ganajai]] [ ● ⍟ ] Flynt's former lover and now adopted niece by Orenji's discretion, leading Flynt to be pinned under the status of "weird uncle". Regardless, Flynt respects her, albeit wishes he could of treated her better.

*[[Jenivieve Ravendale]] [ ● ⍟ ] Another former lover-turned-Claw, a trait somewhat common in the Rising Claws' female populace. A highly capable spellcaster, Flynt does hold some distrust in her maternal disposition toward his nephew.

*[[Sasha Rochester]] [ ● 💗 ] A woman responsible for the times Flynt has fallen financially unstable, causing a ''very'' unhappy Hyena to be left behind in temporary poverty. If it weren't for her devilish good looks and Flynt's questionable attraction toward her, she'd be treated more like an enemy than the hate-lover she currently is.

*[[Vinzer Reddard]] [ ● ⍟ ] Flynt's brother broken out of Stonesthrow under conviction of war crimes. Now a part-time Claw, nobody really knows what's his deal.

*[[Warren Castille]] [ ● ] A man who's seen the most of Flynt through the passing years. Finally on a first-name basis, Flynt takes a strong liking to the man; finding a familiar comfort in him and his subjection to celebrity status. Perhaps of all the people Flynt befriended, Warren is somebody he really feels at home with.
