Because of this, I'm describing both public perception and private reality separately. Most people see his public persona, with only a very few (usually those that are easily discredited, or those that would not be missed if they disappeared) seeing the private reality of Val's character.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Public Mask:&lt;/b&gt; When Val appears in public, he's doing so at a charitable fundraiser, donating to good causes, etc. He has somewhat of a reputation as being a recluse, though when he does make public appearances, he's always charming (if withdrawn) and pleasant.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Private Face:&lt;/b&gt; Val considers society to be a food chain, with the position in the food chain determined by wealth and power. Those above him are worth tolerating and keeping pleased with him. Those below him aren't worth the time of day -- they exist for his entertainment.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #D3A1CB;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Family History &amp;<br /> Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly 6 years before Valtemont was born, his father was involved in a scandal that ruined his family's reputation, hurting their ability to do business. Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to serve as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the truth shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As Val grew, he spent the next few years helping out with his family's carpentry business by day, then spending what little free time he could spare teaching himself to paint. For several years, he almost completely faded from the public eye, spending all his free time behind an easel improving his skills and planning how to earn a break.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;By the time he was seventeen, he was ready. Frames that his family crafted began to be delivered to their new owners with beautiful paintings within them -- some of landscapes, others of people, but all beautiful to every exquisitely depicted detail. The paintings were eventually traced back to him, and Val finally began to become well-known among high society for his painting skills. He was commissioned for portrait after portrait, particularly for his ability to smooth over the flaws in a person's visage while still retaining immediate recognition in the viewer. Though he was ever humble and gracious to a fault, he secretly despised those he painted, always thinking back to the torment he had suffered whenever he stepped across the threshold of a well-off family.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was a year or two later that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Depictions of Coerthas as it had once been surged briefly in demand, and Val took advantage of the fact to leverage his skills for power and wealth. Eventually, however, he hit a plateau where, due to the circumstances of his birth, he could climb no farther. In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially, pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution. It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Solainteau Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #D3A1CB;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #e5c4e0; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to come up with them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, and I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Valtemont&lt;/b&gt;, he can be abusive (physically, mentally, emotionally) and tends to be a Not Good Person. If you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand next to the plant on the east side door leading to the alley, as that’s my usual people-watching/AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #D3A1CB;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Because of this, I'm describing both public perception and private reality separately. Most people see his public persona, with only a very few (usually those that are easily discredited, or those that would not be missed if they disappeared) seeing the private reality of Val's character.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Public Mask:&lt;/b&gt; When Val appears in public, he's doing so at a charitable fundraiser, donating to good causes, etc. He has somewhat of a reputation as being a recluse, though when he does make public appearances, he's always charming (if withdrawn) and pleasant.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Private Face:&lt;/b&gt; Val considers society to be a food chain, with the position in the food chain determined by wealth and power. Those above him are worth tolerating and keeping pleased with him. Those below him aren't worth the time of day -- they exist for his entertainment.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #D3A1CB;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Family History &amp;<br /> Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly 6 years before Valtemont was born, his father was involved in a scandal that ruined his family's reputation, hurting their ability to do business. Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to serve as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the truth shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As Val grew, he spent the next few years helping out with his family's carpentry business by day, then spending what little free time he could spare teaching himself to paint. For several years, he almost completely faded from the public eye, spending all his free time behind an easel improving his skills and planning how to earn a break.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;By the time he was seventeen, he was ready. Frames that his family crafted began to be delivered to their new owners with beautiful paintings within them -- some of landscapes, others of people, but all beautiful to every exquisitely depicted detail. The paintings were eventually traced back to him, and Val finally began to become well-known among high society for his painting skills. He was commissioned for portrait after portrait, particularly for his ability to smooth over the flaws in a person's visage while still retaining immediate recognition in the viewer. Though he was ever humble and gracious to a fault, he secretly despised those he painted, always thinking back to the torment he had suffered whenever he stepped across the threshold of a well-off family.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was a year or two later that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Depictions of Coerthas as it had once been surged briefly in demand, and Val took advantage of the fact to leverage his skills for power and wealth. Eventually, however, he hit a plateau where, due to the circumstances of his birth, he could climb no farther. In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially, pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution. It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Solainteau Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #D3A1CB;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #e5c4e0; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to come up with them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, and I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Valtemont&lt;/b&gt;, he can be abusive (physically, mentally, emotionally) and tends to be a Not Good Person. If you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand next to the plant on the east side door leading to the alley, as that’s my usual people-watching/AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #D3A1CB;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Because of this, I'm describing both public perception and private reality separately. Most people see his public persona, with only a very few (usually those that are easily discredited, or those that would not be missed if they disappeared) seeing the private reality of Val's character.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Public Mask:&lt;/b&gt; When Val appears in public, he's doing so at a charitable fundraiser, donating to good causes, etc. He has somewhat of a reputation as being a recluse, though when he does make public appearances, he's always charming (if withdrawn) and pleasant.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Private Face:&lt;/b&gt; Val considers society to be a food chain, with the position in the food chain determined by wealth and power. Those above him are worth tolerating and keeping pleased with him. Those below him aren't worth the time of day -- they exist for his entertainment.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #D3A1CB;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Family History &amp;<br /> Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly 6 years before Valtemont was born, his father was involved in a scandal that ruined his family's reputation, hurting their ability to do business. Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to serve as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the truth shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As Val grew, he spent the next few years helping out with his family's carpentry business by day, then spending what little free time he could spare teaching himself to paint. For several years, he almost completely faded from the public eye, spending all his free time behind an easel improving his skills and planning how to earn a break.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;By the time he was seventeen, he was ready. Frames that his family crafted began to be delivered to their new owners with beautiful paintings within them -- some of landscapes, others of people, but all beautiful to every exquisitely depicted detail. The paintings were eventually traced back to him, and Val finally began to become well-known among high society for his painting skills. He was commissioned for portrait after portrait, particularly for his ability to smooth over the flaws in a person's visage while still retaining immediate recognition in the viewer. Though he was ever humble and gracious to a fault, he secretly despised those he painted, always thinking back to the torment he had suffered whenever he stepped across the threshold of a well-off family.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was a year or two later that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Depictions of Coerthas as it had once been surged briefly in demand, and Val took advantage of the fact to leverage his skills for power and wealth. Eventually, however, he hit a plateau where, due to the circumstances of his birth, he could climb no farther. In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially, pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution. It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux.

He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Solainteau Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #D3A1CB;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #e5c4e0; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to come up with them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, and I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Valtemont&lt;/b&gt;, he can be abusive (physically, mentally, emotionally) and tends to be a Not Good Person.

I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand next to the plant on the east side door leading to the alley, as that’s my usual people-watching/AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #D3A1CB;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Because of this, I'm describing both public perception and private reality separately. Most people see his public persona, with only a very few (usually those that are easily discredited, or those that would not be missed if they disappeared) seeing the private reality of Val's character.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Public Mask:&lt;/b&gt; When Val appears in public, he's doing so at a charitable fundraiser, donating to good causes, etc. He has somewhat of a reputation as being a recluse, though when he does make public appearances, he's always charming (if withdrawn) and pleasant.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Private Face:&lt;/b&gt; Val considers society to be a food chain, with the position in the food chain determined by wealth and power. Those above him are worth tolerating and keeping pleased with him. Those below him aren't worth the time of day -- they exist for his entertainment.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #D3A1CB;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Family History &amp;<br /> Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly 6 years before Valtemont was born, his father was involved in a scandal that ruined his family's reputation, hurting their ability to do business. Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to serve as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the truth shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As Val grew, he spent the next few years helping out with his family's carpentry business by day, then spending what little free time he could spare teaching himself to paint. For several years, he almost completely faded from the public eye, spending all his free time behind an easel improving his skills and planning how to earn a break.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;By the time he was seventeen, he was ready. Frames that his family crafted began to be delivered to their new owners with beautiful paintings within them -- some of landscapes, others of people, but all beautiful to every exquisitely depicted detail. The paintings were eventually traced back to him, and Val finally began to become well-known among high society for his painting skills. He was commissioned for portrait after portrait, particularly for his ability to smooth over the flaws in a person's visage while still retaining immediate recognition in the viewer. Though he was ever humble and gracious to a fault, he secretly despised those he painted, always thinking back to the torment he had suffered whenever he stepped across the threshold of a well-off family.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was a year or two later that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Depictions of Coerthas as it had once been surged briefly in demand, and Val took advantage of the fact to leverage his skills for power and wealth. Eventually, however, he hit a plateau where, due to the circumstances of his birth, he could climb no farther. In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially, pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution. It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Solainteau Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #D3A1CB;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #e5c4e0; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to come up with them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, and I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Valtemont&lt;/b&gt;, he can be abusive (physically, mentally, emotionally) and tends to be a Not Good Person.

Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things.

This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand next to the plant on the east side door leading to the alley, as that’s my usual people-watching/AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #D3A1CB;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so.

If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #e5c4e0;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too.

Because of this, I'm describing both public perception and private reality separately. Most people see his public persona, with only a very few (usually those that are easily discredited, or those that would not be missed if they disappeared) seeing the private reality of Val's character.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Public Mask:&lt;/b&gt; When Val appears in public, he's doing so at a charitable fundraiser, donating to good causes, etc. He has somewhat of a reputation as being a recluse, though when he does make public appearances, he's always charming (if withdrawn) and pleasant.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Private Face:&lt;/b&gt; Val considers society to be a food chain, with the position in the food chain determined by wealth and power. Those above him are worth tolerating and keeping pleased with him. Those below him aren't worth the time of day -- they exist for his entertainment.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Family History &amp;<br /> Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly 6 years before Valtemont was born, his father was involved in a scandal that ruined his family's reputation, hurting their ability to do business. Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to serve as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the truth shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As Val grew, he spent the next few years helping out with his family's carpentry business by day, then spending what little free time he could spare teaching himself to paint. For several years, he almost completely faded from the public eye, spending all his free time behind an easel improving his skills and planning how to earn a break.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;By the time he was seventeen, he was ready. Frames that his family crafted began to be delivered to their new owners with beautiful paintings within them -- some of landscapes, others of people, but all beautiful to every exquisitely depicted detail. The paintings were eventually traced back to him, and Val finally began to become well-known among high society for his painting skills. He was commissioned for portrait after portrait, particularly for his ability to smooth over the flaws in a person's visage while still retaining immediate recognition in the viewer. Though he was ever humble and gracious to a fault, he secretly despised those he painted, always thinking back to the torment he had suffered whenever he stepped across the threshold of a well-off family.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was a year or two later that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Depictions of Coerthas as it had once been surged briefly in demand, and Val took advantage of the fact to leverage his skills for power and wealth. Eventually, however, he hit a plateau where, due to the circumstances of his birth, he could climb no farther. In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially, pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution. It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Solainteau Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

Also, I tend to be REALLY lazy about editing this...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Last Update...&lt;/b&gt; March 20th, 2018.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;* An asterisks denotes that Haien doesn't know the individual's true name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;LIST OF NON-FAMILY RELATIONS&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Lavereaux Ferrelains]]. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Val's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lavereaux was once his hero as a child, though when the man left, the two grew apart.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to come up with them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, and I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Valtemont&lt;/b&gt;, he can be abusive (physically, mentally, emotionally) and tends to be a Not Good Person. If you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand next to the plant on the east side door leading to the alley, as that’s my usual people-watching/AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go.

If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Because of this, I'm describing both public perception and private reality separately. Most people see his public persona, with only a very few (usually those that are easily discredited, or those that would not be missed if they disappeared) seeing the private reality of Val's character.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Public Mask:&lt;/b&gt; When Val appears in public, he's doing so at a charitable fundraiser, donating to good causes, etc. He has somewhat of a reputation as being a recluse, though when he does make public appearances, he's always charming (if withdrawn) and pleasant.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Private Face:&lt;/b&gt; Val considers society to be a food chain, with the position in the food chain determined by wealth and power. Those above him are worth tolerating and keeping pleased with him. Those below him aren't worth the time of day -- they exist for his entertainment.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Family History &amp;<br /> Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly 6 years before Valtemont was born, his father was involved in a scandal that ruined his family's reputation, hurting their ability to do business. Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to serve as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the truth shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As Val grew, he spent the next few years helping out with his family's carpentry business by day, then spending what little free time he could spare teaching himself to paint. For several years, he almost completely faded from the public eye, spending all his free time behind an easel improving his skills and planning how to earn a break.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;By the time he was seventeen, he was ready. Frames that his family crafted began to be delivered to their new owners with beautiful paintings within them -- some of landscapes, others of people, but all beautiful to every exquisitely depicted detail. The paintings were eventually traced back to him, and Val finally began to become well-known among high society for his painting skills. He was commissioned for portrait after portrait, particularly for his ability to smooth over the flaws in a person's visage while still retaining immediate recognition in the viewer. Though he was ever humble and gracious to a fault, he secretly despised those he painted, always thinking back to the torment he had suffered whenever he stepped across the threshold of a well-off family.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was a year or two later that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Depictions of Coerthas as it had once been surged briefly in demand, and Val took advantage of the fact to leverage his skills for power and wealth. Eventually, however, he hit a plateau where, due to the circumstances of his birth, he could climb no farther. In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially, pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution. It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Solainteau Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to come up with them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, and I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Valtemont&lt;/b&gt;, he can be abusive (physically, mentally, emotionally) and tends to be a Not Good Person. If you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand next to the plant on the east side door leading to the alley, as that’s my usual people-watching/AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so.

If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too.

Because of this, I'm describing both public perception and private reality separately. Most people see his public persona, with only a very few (usually those that are easily discredited, or those that would not be missed if they disappeared) seeing the private reality of Val's character.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Public Mask:&lt;/b&gt; When Val appears in public, he's doing so at a charitable fundraiser, donating to good causes, etc. He has somewhat of a reputation as being a recluse, though when he does make public appearances, he's always charming (if withdrawn) and pleasant.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Private Face:&lt;/b&gt; Val considers society to be a food chain, with the position in the food chain determined by wealth and power. Those above him are worth tolerating and keeping pleased with him. Those below him aren't worth the time of day -- they exist for his entertainment.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Family History &amp;<br /> Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly 6 years before Valtemont was born, his father was involved in a scandal that ruined his family's reputation, hurting their ability to do business. Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to serve as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the truth shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As Val grew, he spent the next few years helping out with his family's carpentry business by day, then spending what little free time he could spare teaching himself to paint. For several years, he almost completely faded from the public eye, spending all his free time behind an easel improving his skills and planning how to earn a break.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;By the time he was seventeen, he was ready. Frames that his family crafted began to be delivered to their new owners with beautiful paintings within them -- some of landscapes, others of people, but all beautiful to every exquisitely depicted detail. The paintings were eventually traced back to him, and Val finally began to become well-known among high society for his painting skills. He was commissioned for portrait after portrait, particularly for his ability to smooth over the flaws in a person's visage while still retaining immediate recognition in the viewer. Though he was ever humble and gracious to a fault, he secretly despised those he painted, always thinking back to the torment he had suffered whenever he stepped across the threshold of a well-off family.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was a year or two later that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Depictions of Coerthas as it had once been surged briefly in demand, and Val took advantage of the fact to leverage his skills for power and wealth. Eventually, however, he hit a plateau where, due to the circumstances of his birth, he could climb no farther. In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially, pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution. It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Solainteau Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to come up with them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, and I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Valtemont&lt;/b&gt;, he can be abusive (physically, mentally, emotionally) and tends to be a Not Good Person. If you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand next to the plant on the east side door leading to the alley, as that’s my usual people-watching/AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Because of this, I'm describing both public perception and private reality separately. Most people see his public persona, with only a very few (usually those that are easily discredited, or those that would not be missed if they disappeared) seeing the private reality of Val's character.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Public Mask:&lt;/b&gt; When Val appears in public, he's doing so at a charitable fundraiser, donating to good causes, etc. He has somewhat of a reputation as being a recluse, though when he does make public appearances, he's always charming (if withdrawn) and pleasant.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Private Face:&lt;/b&gt; Val considers society to be a food chain, with the position in the food chain determined by wealth and power. Those above him are worth tolerating and keeping pleased with him. Those below him aren't worth the time of day -- they exist for his entertainment.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Family History &amp;<br /> Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly 6 years before Valtemont was born, his father was involved in a scandal that ruined his family's reputation, hurting their ability to do business. Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to serve as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the truth shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As Val grew, he spent the next few years helping out with his family's carpentry business by day, then spending what little free time he could spare teaching himself to paint. For several years, he almost completely faded from the public eye, spending all his free time behind an easel improving his skills and planning how to earn a break.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;By the time he was seventeen, he was ready. Frames that his family crafted began to be delivered to their new owners with beautiful paintings within them -- some of landscapes, others of people, but all beautiful to every exquisitely depicted detail. The paintings were eventually traced back to him, and Val finally began to become well-known among high society for his painting skills. He was commissioned for portrait after portrait, particularly for his ability to smooth over the flaws in a person's visage while still retaining immediate recognition in the viewer. Though he was ever humble and gracious to a fault, he secretly despised those he painted, always thinking back to the torment he had suffered whenever he stepped across the threshold of a well-off family.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was a year or two later that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Depictions of Coerthas as it had once been surged briefly in demand, and Val took advantage of the fact to leverage his skills for power and wealth. Eventually, however, he hit a plateau where, due to the circumstances of his birth, he could climb no farther. In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially, pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution. It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Solainteau Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to come up with them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, and I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression.

Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand next to the plant on the east side door leading to the alley, as that’s my usual people-watching/AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too.

If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Because of this, I'm describing both public perception and private reality separately. Most people see his public persona, with only a very few (usually those that are easily discredited, or those that would not be missed if they disappeared) seeing the private reality of Val's character.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Public Mask:&lt;/b&gt; When Val appears in public, he's doing so at a charitable fundraiser, donating to good causes, etc. He has somewhat of a reputation as being a recluse, though when he does make public appearances, he's always charming (if withdrawn) and pleasant.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Private Face:&lt;/b&gt; Val considers society to be a food chain, with the position in the food chain determined by wealth and power. Those above him are worth tolerating and keeping pleased with him. Those below him aren't worth the time of day -- they exist for his entertainment.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Family History &amp;<br /> Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Roughly 6 years before Valtemont was born, his father was involved in a scandal that ruined his family's reputation, hurting their ability to do business. Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to serve as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the truth shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As Val grew, he spent the next few years helping out with his family's carpentry business by day, then spending what little free time he could spare teaching himself to paint. For several years, he almost completely faded from the public eye, spending all his free time behind an easel improving his skills and planning how to earn a break.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;By the time he was seventeen, he was ready. Frames that his family crafted began to be delivered to their new owners with beautiful paintings within them -- some of landscapes, others of people, but all beautiful to every exquisitely depicted detail. The paintings were eventually traced back to him, and Val finally began to become well-known among high society for his painting skills. He was commissioned for portrait after portrait, particularly for his ability to smooth over the flaws in a person's visage while still retaining immediate recognition in the viewer. Though he was ever humble and gracious to a fault, he secretly despised those he painted, always thinking back to the torment he had suffered whenever he stepped across the threshold of a well-off family.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was a year or two later that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Depictions of Coerthas as it had once been surged briefly in demand, and Val took advantage of the fact to leverage his skills for power and wealth. Eventually, however, he hit a plateau where, due to the circumstances of his birth, he could climb no farther. In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially, pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution. It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Solainteau Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

Also, I tend to be REALLY lazy about editing this...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Last Update...&lt;/b&gt; March 20th, 2018.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;* An asterisks denotes that Haien doesn't know the individual's true name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;LIST OF NON-FAMILY RELATIONS&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Lavereaux Ferrelains]]. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Val's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lavereaux was once his hero as a child, though when the man left, the two grew apart.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to come up with them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, and I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand next to the plant on the east side door leading to the alley, as that’s my usual people-watching/AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go.

Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to serve as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the truth shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As Val grew, he spent the next few years helping out with his family's carpentry business by day, then spending what little free time he could spare teaching himself to paint. For several years, he almost completely faded from the public eye, spending all his free time behind an easel improving his skills and planning how to earn a break.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;By the time he was seventeen, he was ready. Frames that his family crafted began to be delivered to their new owners with beautiful paintings within them -- some of landscapes, others of people, but all beautiful to every exquisitely depicted detail. The paintings were eventually traced back to him, and Val finally began to become well-known among high society for his painting skills. He was commissioned for portrait after portrait, particularly for his ability to smooth over the flaws in a person's visage while still retaining immediate recognition in the viewer. Though he was ever humble and gracious to a fault, he secretly despised those he painted, always thinking back to the torment he had suffered whenever he stepped across the threshold of a well-off family.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was a year or two later that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Depictions of Coerthas as it had once been surged briefly in demand, and Val took advantage of the fact to leverage his skills for power and wealth. Eventually, however, he hit a plateau where, due to the circumstances of his birth, he could climb no farther. In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially, pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution. It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Solainteau Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go.

Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to serve as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the truth shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Val spent the next few years honing his craft, practice and studying combining with his natural gift to propel him forward. By the time he was fourteen, he'd earned recognition for his masterful furniture, to the great frustration of one of the teenagers who enjoyed picking on him, seeing their easy target slipping away. The boy set Val up for what he assumed would be defeat, using his family's reputation and influence to convince the Holy See to commission Val. The boy assumed Val would surely fail to live up to the meticulous standards of the Holy See's weaponsmiths, but the plan backfired as Val surpassed every expectation, delivering lances, polearms, and even a bow of the highest caliber.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Word of the his carpentry and the Holy See's continued patronage spread, and Val took advantage of the newfound status and his natural instinct for marketing to grab on to every scrap of power, influence, and wealth he could. By the age of 19, he had more than restored the fortune and reputation that had once stood behind the name Solainteau. It was around this time that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Firewood became a hot commodity in Ishgard -- something Val took advantage of to further raise his prices. Eventually, though, he hit a standstill, finding it difficult to accumulate more power and wealth without the status of a House behind him.<br /> In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially,<br /> pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution.<br /> It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Botanical Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression.

I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go.

Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too.

If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to serve as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the truth shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Val spent the next few years honing his craft, practice and studying combining with his natural gift to propel him forward. By the time he was fourteen, he'd earned recognition for his masterful furniture, to the great frustration of one of the teenagers who enjoyed picking on him, seeing their easy target slipping away. The boy set Val up for what he assumed would be defeat, using his family's reputation and influence to convince the Holy See to commission Val. The boy assumed Val would surely fail to live up to the meticulous standards of the Holy See's weaponsmiths, but the plan backfired as Val surpassed every expectation, delivering lances, polearms, and even a bow of the highest caliber.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Word of the his carpentry and the Holy See's continued patronage spread, and Val took advantage of the newfound status and his natural instinct for marketing to grab on to every scrap of power, influence, and wealth he could. By the age of 19, he had more than restored the fortune and reputation that had once stood behind the name Solainteau. It was around this time that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Firewood became a hot commodity in Ishgard -- something Val took advantage of to further raise his prices. Eventually, though, he hit a standstill, finding it difficult to accumulate more power and wealth without the status of a House behind him.<br /> In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially,<br /> pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution.<br /> It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Botanical Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

Also, I tend to be REALLY lazy about editing this...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Last Update...&lt;/b&gt; March 20th, 2018.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;* An asterisks denotes that Haien doesn't know the individual's true name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;LIST OF NON-FAMILY RELATIONS&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Lavereaux Ferrelains]]. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Val's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lavereaux was once his hero as a child, though when the man left, the two grew apart.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to serve as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the true shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Val spent the next few years honing his craft, practice and studying combining with his natural gift to propel him forward. By the time he was fourteen, he'd earned recognition for his masterful furniture, to the great frustration of one of the teenagers who enjoyed picking on him, seeing their easy target slipping away. The boy set Val up for what he assumed would be defeat, using his family's reputation and influence to convince the Holy See to commission Val. The boy assumed Val would surely fail to live up to the meticulous standards of the Holy See's weaponsmiths, but the plan backfired as Val surpassed every expectation, delivering lances, polearms, and even a bow of the highest caliber.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Word of the his carpentry and the Holy See's continued patronage spread, and Val took advantage of the newfound status and his natural instinct for marketing to grab on to every scrap of power, influence, and wealth he could. By the age of 19, he had more than restored the fortune and reputation that had once stood behind the name Solainteau. It was around this time that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Firewood became a hot commodity in Ishgard -- something Val took advantage of to further raise his prices. Eventually, though, he hit a standstill, finding it difficult to accumulate more power and wealth without the status of a House behind him.<br /> In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially,<br /> pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution.<br /> It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Botanical Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go.

Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to serve as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the true shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Val spent the next few years honing his craft, practice and studying combining with his natural gift to propel him forward. By the time he was fourteen, he'd earned recognition for his masterful furniture, to the great frustration of one of the teenagers who enjoyed picking on him, seeing their easy target slipping away. The boy set Val up for what he assumed would be defeat, using his family's reputation and influence to convince the Holy See to commission Val. The boy assumed Val would surely fail to live up to the meticulous standards of the Holy See's weaponsmiths, but the plan backfired as Val surpassed every expectation, delivering lances, polearms, and even a bow of the highest caliber.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Word of the his carpentry and the Holy See's continued patronage spread, and Val took advantage of the newfound status and his natural instinct for marketing to grab on to every scrap of power, influence, and wealth he could. By the age of 19, he had more than restored the fortune and reputation that had once stood behind the name Solainteau. It was around this time that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Firewood became a hot commodity in Ishgard -- something Val took advantage of to further raise his prices. Eventually, though he hit a standstill, finding it difficult to accumulate more power and wealth without the status of a House behind him.<br /> In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially,<br /> pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution.<br /> It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Botanical Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression.

I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go.

If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too.

Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to serve as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the true shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Val spent the next few years honing his craft, practice and studying combining with his natural gift to propel him forward. By the time he was fourteen, he'd earned recognition for his masterful furniture, to the great frustration of one of the teenagers who enjoyed picking on him, seeing their easy target slipping away. The boy set Val up for what he assumed would be defeat, using his family's reputation and influence to convince the Holy See to commission Val. The boy assumed Val would surely fail to live up to the meticulous standards of the Holy See's weaponsmiths, but the plan backfired as Val surpassed every expectation, delivering lances, polearms, and bow of the highest caliber.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Word of the his carpentry and the Holy See's continued patronage spread, and Val took advantage of the newfound status and his natural instinct for marketing to grab on to every scrap of power, influence, and wealth he could. By the age of 19, he had more than restored the fortune and reputation that had once stood behind the name Solainteau. It was around this time that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Firewood became a hot commodity in Ishgard -- something Val took advantage of to further raise his prices. Eventually, though he hit a standstill, finding it difficult to accumulate more power and wealth without the status of a House behind him.<br /> In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially,<br /> pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution.<br /> It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Botanical Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

Also, I tend to be REALLY lazy about editing this...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Last Update...&lt;/b&gt; March 20th, 2018.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;* An asterisks denotes that Haien doesn't know the individual's true name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;LIST OF NON-FAMILY RELATIONS&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Lavereaux Ferrelains]]. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Val's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lavereaux was once his hero as a child, though when the man left, the two grew apart.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasing overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the true shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Val spent the next few years honing his craft, practice and studying combining with his natural gift to propel him forward. By the time he was fourteen, he'd earned recognition for his masterful furniture, to the great frustration of one of the teenagers who enjoyed picking on him, seeing their easy target slipping away. The boy set Val up for what he assumed would be defeat, using his family's reputation and influence to convince the Holy See to commission Val. The boy assumed Val would surely fail to live up to the meticulous standards of the Holy See's weaponsmiths, but the plan backfired as Val surpassed every expectation, delivering lances, polearms, and bow of the highest caliber.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Word of the his carpentry and the Holy See's continued patronage spread, and Val took advantage of the newfound status and his natural instinct for marketing to grab on to every scrap of power, influence, and wealth he could. By the age of 19, he had more than restored the fortune and reputation that had once stood behind the name Solainteau. It was around this time that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Firewood became a hot commodity in Ishgard -- something Val took advantage of to further raise his prices. Eventually, though he hit a standstill, finding it difficult to accumulate more power and wealth without the status of a House behind him.<br /> In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially,<br /> pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution.<br /> It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Botanical Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go.

Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so.

If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too.

Previously, they had been a respectable crafting family, but by the time Val was born, the Solainteau family was struggling to hold on to the comfort they had once known; from a full complement of household staff, they had cut back to just one or two, and no longer did they hold grand feasts at holidays, though they were never so bad off as to risk losing everything and becoming truly poor. And yet, that was enough for the other children his age to know something was not quite right, and to tease and bully him for it. They had the power and the money to back them up, and Val had little by comparison, always being a season behind on fashions, or receiving modest Nameday gifts at best.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for Valtemont, an older boy by the name of Lavereaux Ferrelains took interest in him, cheering him up any time the noble children's teasign overwhelmed the boy. The two soon became fast friends, with Lavereaux protecting Val from as many harsh truths of the world as he could. The two stayed close for years, becoming almost inseparable, much to the dismay of Val's family, given Lavereaux's relative poverty. Eventually, on Valtemont's eleventh Nameday, Lavereaux received an offer he couldn't pass up; the chance to as a foot soldier for a high house. Before he was forced to leave and serve his tour of duty, he promised Val he would return, and informed the boy of the truth of his father's shame, believing it would show there were no lies between them; that he would hold true to his promise.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Instead, the true shocked Val, as did everything he learned when he confronted his father. No longer was the man the virtuous loving father he had once thought him to be. Between that revelation and the fact that his peers had resumed bullying him without Lavereaux around to protect him, Val soon grew bitter, his heart hardening. The adolescents that tormented him did so because their families had power; they were untouchable for someone like him, he realized. Power and wealth determined happiness, and so he set his mind to earning both for himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Adolescence and Adulthood&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Val spent the next few years honing his craft, practice and studying combining with his natural gift to propel him forward. By the time he was fourteen, he'd earned recognition for his masterful furniture, to the great frustration of one of the teenagers who enjoyed picking on him, seeing their easy target slipping away. The boy set Val up for what he assumed would be defeat, using his family's reputation and influence to convince the Holy See to commission Val. The boy assumed Val would surely fail to live up to the meticulous standards of the Holy See's weaponsmiths, but the plan backfired as Val surpassed every expectation, delivering lances, polearms, and bow of the highest caliber.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Word of the his carpentry and the Holy See's continued patronage spread, and Val took advantage of the newfound status and his natural instinct for marketing to grab on to every scrap of power, influence, and wealth he could. By the age of 19, he had more than restored the fortune and reputation that had once stood behind the name Solainteau. It was around this time that Lavereaux finally returned to Val, having left his military position after eight long years of service. The man who had once been Val's best friend quickly saw through the pleasant facade that Val kept in place; saw through to the bitter, selfish man he had become, though the worst was yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Calamity&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Valtemont was 20 when the Calamity hit, shaking Ishgard to its core. As the freezing winds chilled the formerly green hills, it became more difficult for those who had already had little to get by. Firewood became a hot commodity in Ishgard -- something Val took advantage of to further raise his prices. Eventually, though he hit a standstill, finding it difficult to accumulate more power and wealth without the status of a House behind him.<br /> In his frustration, he found himself wandering Ishgard during the long, frozen nights, until one night he was strolling past the Brume when a young urchin girl approached him, begging for scraps. He was revolted initially,<br /> pushing her away and escaping as quickly as he could, but the seed of an idea was planted in his mind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the next few moons he began to intentionally visit the Brume, trading away hot meals and a night in a warm bed under a fine roof for companionship from various Brume inhabitants, though he preferred those that looked younger or more attractive. It was a new form of power, and one he was pleased to take advantage of, though he was careful never to leave any of the female urchins with child. In time, this was not enough, and he found his frustration growing once more. He mercilessly beat the companion he'd brought from the Brume that night, leaving the young man battered and bruised, but with enough coin in his pocket to prevent him from seeking restitution.<br /> It was a few moons before the next beating, but slowly, Val began to realize the power and influence he had earned for himself had left him untouchable by those in the Brume.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he faced no legal consequences, eventually enough rumours spread that the urchins of the Brume began to stay away from him, where once they had flocked to the offer of a meal and a night out of the cold. Val had poisoned the very well from which he drank, and one night deep in his cups, he took his aggression out on the last avenue remaining to him; Lavereaux. The man bore the beating, and to Val's surprise, neither reported it, nor left Val alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Gridania&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While Lavereaux bore the beatings, Val found himself still in need of more, and soon enough he relocated to a grand manorhouse in Gridania, determined to have a fresh start. He immediately threw a portion of his wealth into forming a charitable organization; the Botanical Foundation, as well as investing in various other humanitarian opportunities. Between the immediate reputation for philanthropic pursuits and the charm he wore like a mask at all time, Val quickly earned respect, and a reputation for being a generally good person. In the last three years since, he has kept any shadier business or happenings behind closed doors, or restricted to those who wouldn't be believed over his own word, should it come to hearsay. That careful moderation, combined with his continued contact with Lavereaux, has kept his reputation clean for the most part, with any ugly rumours easily dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;!---NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien's Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert Val's quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listed here are the characters that Valtemont has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression.

I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

In his spare time he enjoys spearfishing and swimming, and in general prefers areas with water over those with none.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the strong side even for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. While on a job, his natural resting expression is a stern one; one cultivated to dissuade fights before they can start. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. His attire is vaguely reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear, though he has adopted the Eorzean custom of wearing pants, as the Kohakama he had worn previously garnered too much attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Water.&lt;/b&gt; Being submerged in water reminds him of the home he will likely never be able to return to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Protecting people.&lt;/b&gt; His life may not have led to being a palace guard as expected, but Haien still finds satisfaction in keeping others safe, considering it his duty and goal in life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Unnecessary Bloodshed.&lt;/b&gt; While he's not hesitant to fight when needed, any conflict that can be resolved peacefully is preferable to Haien.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Close combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien grew up with the spear, training for the majority of his life to reach peak combat performance. Add on to this his strength and his instinct for battle and it can be easy to see how he would excel in such matters.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Attractive.&lt;/b&gt; Though he doesn't intentionally cultivate good looks, a side result of his training is that he's physically fit, and genetics have provided him with an extra boost on top of that.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dedication to those he's protecting.&lt;/b&gt; In some ways a strength, this can also be a major weakness for Haien, as he won't hesitate to use himself as a shield for those he's protecting, even if such a thing will prove harmful to his own person.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ranged Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien has never varied from the spear, and as such, any opponent quick enough to keep out of his range will find that Haien has few answers from a distance.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Difficulty switching between work and play&lt;/b&gt; Haien has a very different mindset when he's on the job compared to off it, and so if he's forced into a leisure or social situation immediately after a job (or worse, during one) it can be very difficult for him to actually relax and be reasonably social.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Childhood and Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;From a young age, Haien was proud to be the product of a long line of guards. Like many other children of guards, he spent his formative years preparing for his eventual life as a guard -- something he was proud to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When he was finally old enough to undertake the formal training, it surprised no one that he was the strongest and fastest of the adolescents gathered. What &lt;b&gt;DID&lt;/b&gt; take Haien by surprise was how narrow the margin was between him and the other frontrunner behind him; Rino. While Haien had a clear advantage, Rino was close behind, and the two spent most of their free time together, spurring each other on in a friendly rivalry. Their instructor was quick to notice and encourage this friendship, often assigning them the same duties and responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Their ability to spur each other on allowed them to complete training early, and in fact, both Haien and Rino were made fully-fledged guards on the same sun, in the same ceremony -- a full six moons before the rest of the trainees.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Two moons later, the two were on a routine patrol when disaster struck. A giant plesiosaur of monstrous size emerged from the depths, attacking both Haien and Rino. The two fought fiercely with everything they had, but eventually Rino was critically injured. Spurred on by the desperation to save his friend, Haien finally managed to wound the creature, causing it to retreat into the depths from whence it came.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Although Haien rushed Rino back to the palace as quickly as he could, there was little that could be done, and Rino succumbed to his injuries soon after. Haien was devastated, and he fled the palace, swimming away in no particular direction, driven half mad by a combination of grief and shame.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Post-Shisui&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The next few suns were difficult for Haien, as he struggled with both his emotions and his basic needs for survival. He soon learned that his skill with a spear could be used not only for combat, but also for catching the fish he relied upon as his primary source of nourishment. Haien quickly lost track of the passage of time, his every waking moment focused on the refinement of his spearfishing techniques, or on busy work designed to keep his mind off recent events he couldn't quite deal with yet.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The longer he avoided the subject in waking bells, however, the worse his nightmares became. It didn't take long before he could barely close his eyes without seeing Rino's decaying corpse, which in turn drove away Haien's appetite. Starving and delirious from lack of sleep, Haien began to hallucinate. As he neared the brink of death, the hallucinations took the shape of his parents, scolding him for throwing away the inheritance, the &lt;i&gt;legacy&lt;/i&gt; they had trusted him with. He tried to turn away, only to run face first into Rino, who urged Haien to forgive himself; to move on and live a life they could both be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was this final hallucination that spurred Haien into gear. Despite how weak he had become, he managed to spear several fish, consuming them raw, for he had not the strength to do otherwise. That done, he slept, dreaming of his friends and family urging him to move forward once more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;This encouragement set him on a new path; to kill the giant plesiosaur and avenge Rino. He spent the next few years training further, pushing his every limit, both physically and mentally. Much of his time was spent on isolation, with occasional visits to the Blue Kojin of Tamamizu for trading purposes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, word traveled of an event that had been held in Isari, in which many giant plesiosaurs had been slain in the name of preserving a local variety of fish. Haien left for Isari immediately, hoping to gather tips and techniques to kill his own demon. Once there, he was horrified to find that the beast had already been slain; the scar he'd left years prior and its remarkable size left there no question that it was the same creature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A Return to Form&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Left without a purpose, Haien returned once more to isolation, until one day, by chance, he happened upon a young Raen child far outside the boundaries of Sui-no-Sato, who had become lost and disoriented. Haien helped the child back, though he stayed clear of the border himself, only getting the child far enough to ensure they would make it home safely.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Saving the child made Haien realize that, while he would not return to his old life, he could still honor his ancestors and lineage; he could serve as a guard, even if the Palace and Ruby Princess were no longer options. It was with this goal in mind he ventured to Kugane, where he spent his meager savings commissioning a set of uniforms similar to those he had worn as a guard, with a few changes to better fit his new life. Fortunately for Haien, bodyguard services were in high demand, and his skill in combat and dedication to his clients set him apart from the average mercenary adventurer.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Soon enough, Haien found himself nearly swimming with clients, however one in particular bid higher than the rest, hiring Haien on as a protector for an overseas voyage. The trip was mostly uneventful, though Haien found the ship's workings and crew fascinating, and did what he could to help out -- something his wealthy patron encouraged, as she enjoyed watching him work. By the time the ship reached the harbor of Limsa Lominsa, however, Haien had grown weary of his patron's advances, and the two came to the joint decision not to renew his contract.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Eorzea&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;A stranger in a new land, Haien shoved aside his discomfort to focus on the practicalities of his situation, quickly starting to establish contacts, spread word of his services, and generally market himself in any reasonable way he could.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> !

Not long after, S'aya ran into Haien as he was relaxing in the Shirogane hotsprings. After an awkward encounter, this left Haien questioning how he felt about S'aya, and whether he was attracted to her or not. This uncertainty continued to grow as ran into her once more, this time in Costa Del Sol some time later, and they once more faced a brief period of awkwardness. This encounter proved very important,<br /> however, as not only did their friendship continue to grow, but S'aya invited him to join her organization; Lion Order, on hearing how dissatisfied he was with the wealthy client he was currently tasked with guarding.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Chocolate Wine update goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> |}<br /> &lt;!-- NEW ENTRY TEMPLATE<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;[[Person's Name]], &lt;i&gt;nickname or alias&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; <br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure<br /> &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust <br /> &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Insert CHARACTER’s quote here..&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> --&gt;<br /> <br /> =Rumours=<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RUMORS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;''These are rumors, both from NPCs and PCs, that one might overhear in regards to Haien.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

In his spare time he enjoys spearfishing and swimming, and in general prefers areas with water over those with none.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the strong side even for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. While on a job, his natural resting expression is a stern one; one cultivated to dissuade fights before they can start. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. His attire is vaguely reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear, though he has adopted the Eorzean custom of wearing pants, as the Kohakama he had worn previously garnered too much attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Water.&lt;/b&gt; Being submerged in water reminds him of the home he will likely never be able to return to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Protecting people.&lt;/b&gt; His life may not have led to being a palace guard as expected, but Haien still finds satisfaction in keeping others safe, considering it his duty and goal in life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Unnecessary Bloodshed.&lt;/b&gt; While he's not hesitant to fight when needed, any conflict that can be resolved peacefully is preferable to Haien.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Close combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien grew up with the spear, training for the majority of his life to reach peak combat performance. Add on to this his strength and his instinct for battle and it can be easy to see how he would excel in such matters.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Attractive.&lt;/b&gt; Though he doesn't intentionally cultivate good looks, a side result of his training is that he's physically fit, and genetics have provided him with an extra boost on top of that.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dedication to those he's protecting.&lt;/b&gt; In some ways a strength, this can also be a major weakness for Haien, as he won't hesitate to use himself as a shield for those he's protecting, even if such a thing will prove harmful to his own person.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ranged Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien has never varied from the spear, and as such, any opponent quick enough to keep out of his range will find that Haien has few answers from a distance.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Difficulty switching between work and play&lt;/b&gt; Haien has a very different mindset when he's on the job compared to off it, and so if he's forced into a leisure or social situation immediately after a job (or worse, during one) it can be very difficult for him to actually relax and be reasonably social.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Childhood and Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;From a young age, Haien was proud to be the product of a long line of guards. Like many other children of guards, he spent his formative years preparing for his eventual life as a guard -- something he was proud to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When he was finally old enough to undertake the formal training, it surprised no one that he was the strongest and fastest of the adolescents gathered. What &lt;b&gt;DID&lt;/b&gt; take Haien by surprise was how narrow the margin was between him and the other frontrunner behind him; Rino. While Haien had a clear advantage, Rino was close behind, and the two spent most of their free time together, spurring each other on in a friendly rivalry. Their instructor was quick to notice and encourage this friendship, often assigning them the same duties and responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Their ability to spur each other on allowed them to complete training early, and in fact, both Haien and Rino were made fully-fledged guards on the same sun, in the same ceremony -- a full six moons before the rest of the trainees.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Two moons later, the two were on a routine patrol when disaster struck. A giant plesiosaur of monstrous size emerged from the depths, attacking both Haien and Rino. The two fought fiercely with everything they had, but eventually Rino was critically injured. Spurred on by the desperation to save his friend, Haien finally managed to wound the creature, causing it to retreat into the depths from whence it came.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Although Haien rushed Rino back to the palace as quickly as he could, there was little that could be done, and Rino succumbed to his injuries soon after. Haien was devastated, and he fled the palace, swimming away in no particular direction, driven half mad by a combination of grief and shame.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Post-Shisui&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The next few suns were difficult for Haien, as he struggled with both his emotions and his basic needs for survival. He soon learned that his skill with a spear could be used not only for combat, but also for catching the fish he relied upon as his primary source of nourishment. Haien quickly lost track of the passage of time, his every waking moment focused on the refinement of his spearfishing techniques, or on busy work designed to keep his mind off recent events he couldn't quite deal with yet.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The longer he avoided the subject in waking bells, however, the worse his nightmares became. It didn't take long before he could barely close his eyes without seeing Rino's decaying corpse, which in turn drove away Haien's appetite. Starving and delirious from lack of sleep, Haien began to hallucinate. As he neared the brink of death, the hallucinations took the shape of his parents, scolding him for throwing away the inheritance, the &lt;i&gt;legacy&lt;/i&gt; they had trusted him with. He tried to turn away, only to run face first into Rino, who urged Haien to forgive himself; to move on and live a life they could both be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was this final hallucination that spurred Haien into gear. Despite how weak he had become, he managed to spear several fish, consuming them raw, for he had not the strength to do otherwise. That done, he slept, dreaming of his friends and family urging him to move forward once more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;This encouragement set him on a new path; to kill the giant plesiosaur and avenge Rino. He spent the next few years training further, pushing his every limit, both physically and mentally. Much of his time was spent on isolation, with occasional visits to the Blue Kojin of Tamamizu for trading purposes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, word traveled of an event that had been held in Isari, in which many giant plesiosaurs had been slain in the name of preserving a local variety of fish. Haien left for Isari immediately, hoping to gather tips and techniques to kill his own demon. Once there, he was horrified to find that the beast had already been slain; the scar he'd left years prior and its remarkable size left there no question that it was the same creature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A Return to Form&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Left without a purpose, Haien returned once more to isolation, until one day, by chance, he happened upon a young Raen child far outside the boundaries of Sui-no-Sato, who had become lost and disoriented. Haien helped the child back, though he stayed clear of the border himself, only getting the child far enough to ensure they would make it home safely.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Saving the child made Haien realize that, while he would not return to his old life, he could still honor his ancestors and lineage; he could serve as a guard, even if the Palace and Ruby Princess were no longer options. It was with this goal in mind he ventured to Kugane, where he spent his meager savings commissioning a set of uniforms similar to those he had worn as a guard, with a few changes to better fit his new life. Fortunately for Haien, bodyguard services were in high demand, and his skill in combat and dedication to his clients set him apart from the average mercenary adventurer.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Soon enough, Haien found himself nearly swimming with clients, however one in particular bid higher than the rest, hiring Haien on as a protector for an overseas voyage. The trip was mostly uneventful, though Haien found the ship's workings and crew fascinating, and did what he could to help out -- something his wealthy patron encouraged, as she enjoyed watching him work. By the time the ship reached the harbor of Limsa Lominsa, however, Haien had grown weary of his patron's advances, and the two came to the joint decision not to renew his contract.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Eorzea&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;A stranger in a new land, Haien shoved aside his discomfort to focus on the practicalities of his situation, quickly starting to establish contacts, spread word of his services, and generally market himself in any reasonable way he could.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> !

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go.

In his spare time he enjoys spearfishing and swimming, and in general prefers areas with water over those with none.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the strong side even for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. While on a job, his natural resting expression is a stern one; one cultivated to dissuade fights before they can start. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. His attire is vaguely reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear, though he has adopted the Eorzean custom of wearing pants, as the Kohakama he had worn previously garnered too much attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Water.&lt;/b&gt; Being submerged in water reminds him of the home he will likely never be able to return to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Protecting people.&lt;/b&gt; His life may not have led to being a palace guard as expected, but Haien still finds satisfaction in keeping others safe, considering it his duty and goal in life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Unnecessary Bloodshed.&lt;/b&gt; While he's not hesitant to fight when needed, any conflict that can be resolved peacefully is preferable to Haien.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Close combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien grew up with the spear, training for the majority of his life to reach peak combat performance. Add on to this his strength and his instinct for battle and it can be easy to see how he would excel in such matters.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Attractive.&lt;/b&gt; Though he doesn't intentionally cultivate good looks, a side result of his training is that he's physically fit, and genetics have provided him with an extra boost on top of that.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dedication to those he's protecting.&lt;/b&gt; In some ways a strength, this can also be a major weakness for Haien, as he won't hesitate to use himself as a shield for those he's protecting, even if such a thing will prove harmful to his own person.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ranged Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien has never varied from the spear, and as such, any opponent quick enough to keep out of his range will find that Haien has few answers from a distance.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Difficulty switching between work and play&lt;/b&gt; Haien has a very different mindset when he's on the job compared to off it, and so if he's forced into a leisure or social situation immediately after a job (or worse, during one) it can be very difficult for him to actually relax and be reasonably social.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Childhood and Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;From a young age, Haien was proud to be the product of a long line of guards. Like many other children of guards, he spent his formative years preparing for his eventual life as a guard -- something he was proud to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When he was finally old enough to undertake the formal training, it surprised no one that he was the strongest and fastest of the adolescents gathered. What &lt;b&gt;DID&lt;/b&gt; take Haien by surprise was how narrow the margin was between him and the other frontrunner behind him; Rino. While Haien had a clear advantage, Rino was close behind, and the two spent most of their free time together, spurring each other on in a friendly rivalry. Their instructor was quick to notice and encourage this friendship, often assigning them the same duties and responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Their ability to spur each other on allowed them to complete training early, and in fact, both Haien and Rino were made fully-fledged guards on the same sun, in the same ceremony -- a full six moons before the rest of the trainees.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Two moons later, the two were on a routine patrol when disaster struck. A giant plesiosaur of monstrous size emerged from the depths, attacking both Haien and Rino. The two fought fiercely with everything they had, but eventually Rino was critically injured. Spurred on by the desperation to save his friend, Haien finally managed to wound the creature, causing it to retreat into the depths from whence it came.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Although Haien rushed Rino back to the palace as quickly as he could, there was little that could be done, and Rino succumbed to his injuries soon after. Haien was devastated, and he fled the palace, swimming away in no particular direction, driven half mad by a combination of grief and shame.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Post-Shisui&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The next few suns were difficult for Haien, as he struggled with both his emotions and his basic needs for survival. He soon learned that his skill with a spear could be used not only for combat, but also for catching the fish he relied upon as his primary source of nourishment. Haien quickly lost track of the passage of time, his every waking moment focused on the refinement of his spearfishing techniques, or on busy work designed to keep his mind off recent events he couldn't quite deal with yet.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The longer he avoided the subject in waking bells, however, the worse his nightmares became. It didn't take long before he could barely close his eyes without seeing Rino's decaying corpse, which in turn drove away Haien's appetite. Starving and delirious from lack of sleep, Haien began to hallucinate. As he neared the brink of death, the hallucinations took the shape of his parents, scolding him for throwing away the inheritance, the &lt;i&gt;legacy&lt;/i&gt; they had trusted him with. He tried to turn away, only to run face first into Rino, who urged Haien to forgive himself; to move on and live a life they could both be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was this final hallucination that spurred Haien into gear. Despite how weak he had become, he managed to spear several fish, consuming them raw, for he had not the strength to do otherwise. That done, he slept, dreaming of his friends and family urging him to move forward once more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;This encouragement set him on a new path; to kill the giant plesiosaur and avenge Rino. He spent the next few years training further, pushing his every limit, both physically and mentally. Much of his time was spent on isolation, with occasional visits to the Blue Kojin of Tamamizu for trading purposes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, word traveled of an event that had been held in Isari, in which many giant plesiosaurs had been slain in the name of preserving a local variety of fish. Haien left for Isari immediately, hoping to gather tips and techniques to kill his own demon. Once there, he was horrified to find that the beast had already been slain; the scar he'd left years prior and its remarkable size left there no question that it was the same creature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A Return to Form&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Left without a purpose, Haien returned once more to isolation, until one day, by chance, he happened upon a young Raen child far outside the boundaries of Sui-no-Sato, who had become lost and disoriented. Haien helped the child back, though he stayed clear of the border himself, only getting the child far enough to ensure they would make it home safely.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Saving the child made Haien realize that, while he would not return to his old life, he could still honor his ancestors and lineage; he could serve as a guard, even if the Palace and Ruby Princess were no longer options. It was with this goal in mind he ventured to Kugane, where he spent his meager savings commissioning a set of uniforms similar to those he had worn as a guard, with a few changes to better fit his new life. Fortunately for Haien, bodyguard services were in high demand, and his skill in combat and dedication to his clients set him apart from the average mercenary adventurer.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Soon enough, Haien found himself nearly swimming with clients, however one in particular bid higher than the rest, hiring Haien on as a protector for an overseas voyage.

He is generally known to do so for little to no pay, depending on the need of his client and how badly in need of help they are.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wilds Man:&lt;/b&gt; Not to be confused with ‘wild man’ which he certainly is not, Haien tends to be comfortable in most wilderness environments – particularly the deserts of Thanalan. He’s significantly less comfortable in the cold climates of Coerthas.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quietness:&lt;/b&gt; In large groups, sometimes Haien makes as much of an impression by conspicuously &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/I&gt; being as lively as the average person.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Armor, or lack thereof:&lt;/b&gt; Haien frequently receives comments on his particular choice of armor. It’s also led to a few misunderstandings, though he’s usually quick to head those people off.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =OOC Notes=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ABOUT THE PLAYER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;I am a mid-20’s man living with his cat in the mid-western United States on a sleep schedule that only some sort of crazed psychic would be able to predict. I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

In his spare time he enjoys spearfishing and swimming, and in general prefers areas with water over those with none.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the strong side even for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. While on a job, his natural resting expression is a stern one; one cultivated to dissuade fights before they can start. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. His attire is vaguely reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear, though he has adopted the Eorzean custom of wearing pants, as the Kohakama he had worn previously garnered too much attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Water.&lt;/b&gt; Being submerged in water reminds him of the home he will likely never be able to return to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Protecting people.&lt;/b&gt; His life may not have led to being a palace guard as expected, but Haien still finds satisfaction in keeping others safe, considering it his duty and goal in life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Unnecessary Bloodshed.&lt;/b&gt; While he's not hesitant to fight when needed, any conflict that can be resolved peacefully is preferable to Haien.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Close combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien grew up with the spear, training for the majority of his life to reach peak combat performance. Add on to this his strength and his instinct for battle and it can be easy to see how he would excel in such matters.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Attractive.&lt;/b&gt; Though he doesn't intentionally cultivate good looks, a side result of his training is that he's physically fit, and genetics have provided him with an extra boost on top of that.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dedication to those he's protecting.&lt;/b&gt; In some ways a strength, this can also be a major weakness for Haien, as he won't hesitate to use himself as a shield for those he's protecting, even if such a thing will prove harmful to his own person.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ranged Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien has never varied from the spear, and as such, any opponent quick enough to keep out of his range will find that Haien has few answers from a distance.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Difficulty switching between work and play&lt;/b&gt; Haien has a very different mindset when he's on the job compared to off it, and so if he's forced into a leisure or social situation immediately after a job (or worse, during one) it can be very difficult for him to actually relax and be reasonably social.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Childhood and Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;From a young age, Haien was proud to be the product of a long line of guards. Like many other children of guards, he spent his formative years preparing for his eventual life as a guard -- something he was proud to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When he was finally old enough to undertake the formal training, it surprised no one that he was the strongest and fastest of the adolescents gathered. What &lt;b&gt;DID&lt;/b&gt; take Haien by surprise was how narrow the margin was between him and the other frontrunner behind him; Rino. While Haien had a clear advantage, Rino was close behind, and the two spent most of their free time together, spurring each other on in a friendly rivalry. Their instructor was quick to notice and encourage this friendship, often assigning them the same duties and responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Their ability to spur each other on allowed them to complete training early, and in fact, both Haien and Rino were made fully-fledged guards on the same sun, in the same ceremony -- a full six moons before the rest of the trainees.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Two moons later, the two were on a routine patrol when disaster struck. A giant plesiosaur of monstrous size emerged from the depths, attacking both Haien and Rino. The two fought fiercely with everything they had, but eventually Rino was critically injured. Spurred on by the desperation to save his friend, Haien finally managed to wound the creature, causing it to retreat into the depths from whence it came.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Although Haien rushed Rino back to the palace as quickly as he could, there was little that could be done, and Rino succumbed to his injuries soon after. Haien was devastated, and he fled the palace, swimming away in no particular direction, driven half mad by a combination of grief and shame.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Post-Shisui&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The next few suns were difficult for Haien, as he struggled with both his emotions and his basic needs for survival. He soon learned that his skill with a spear could be used not only for combat, but also for catching the fish he relied upon as his primary source of nourishment. Haien quickly lost track of the passage of time, his every waking moment focused on the refinement of his spearfishing techniques, or on busy work designed to keep his mind off recent events he couldn't quite deal with yet.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The longer he avoided the subject in waking bells, however, the worse his nightmares became. It didn't take long before he could barely close his eyes without seeing Rino's decaying corpse, which in turn drove away Haien's appetite. Starving and delirious from lack of sleep, Haien began to hallucinate. As he neared the brink of death, the hallucinations took the shape of his parents, scolding him for throwing away the inheritance, the &lt;i&gt;legacy&lt;/i&gt; they had trusted him with. He tried to turn away, only to run face first into Rino, who urged Haien to forgive himself; to move on and live a life they could both be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was this final hallucination that spurred Haien into gear. Despite how weak he had become, he managed to spear several fish, consuming them raw, for he had not the strength to do otherwise. That done, he slept, dreaming of his friends and family urging him to move forward once more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;This encouragement set him on a new path; to kill the giant plesiosaur and avenge Rino. He spent the next few years training further, pushing his every limit, both physically and mentally. Much of his time was spent on isolation, with occasional visits to the Blue Kojin of Tamamizu for trading purposes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, word traveled of an event that had been held in Isari, in which many giant plesiosaurs had been slain in the name of preserving a local variety of fish. Haien left for Isari immediately, hoping to gather tips and techniques to kill his own demon. Once there, he was horrified to find that the beast had already been slain; the scar he'd left years prior and its remarkable size left there no question that it was the same creature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A Return to Form&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Left without a purpose, Haien returned once more to isolation, until one day, by chance, he happened upon a young Raen child far outside the boundaries of Sui-no-Sato, who had become lost and disoriented. Haien helped the child back, though he stayed clear of the border himself, only getting the child far enough to ensure they would make it home safely.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Saving the child made Haien realize that, while he would not return to his old life, he could still honor his ancestors and lineage; he could serve as a guard, even if the Palace and Ruby Princess were no longer options. It was with this goal in mind he ventured to Kugane, where he spent his meager savings commissioning a set of uniforms similar to those he had worn as a guard, with a few changes to better fit his new life. Fortunately for Haien, bodyguard services were in high demand, and his skill in combat and dedication to his clients set him apart from the average mercenary adventurer.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Soon enough, Haien found himself nearly swimming with clients, however one in particular bid higher than the rest, hiring Haien on as a protector for an overseas voyage. The trip was mostly uneventful, though Haien found the ship's workings and crew fascinating, and did what he could to help out -- something his wealthy patron encouraged, as she enjoyed watching him work. By the time the ship reached the harbor of Limsa Lominsa, however, Haien had grown weary of his patron's advances, and the two came to the joint decision not to renew his contract.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Eorzea&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;A stranger in a new land, Haien shoved aside his discomfort to focus on the practicalities of his situation, quickly starting to establish contacts, spread word of his services, and generally market himself in any reasonable way he could.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> !

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

In his spare time he enjoys spearfishing and swimming, and in general prefers areas with water over those with none.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the strong side even for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. While on a job, his natural resting expression is a stern one; one cultivated to dissuade fights before they can start. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. His attire is vaguely reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear, though he has adopted the Eorzean custom of wearing pants, as the Kohakama he had worn previously garnered too much attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Water.&lt;/b&gt; Being submerged in water reminds him of the home he will likely never be able to return to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Protecting people.&lt;/b&gt; His life may not have led to being a palace guard as expected, but Haien still finds satisfaction in keeping others safe, considering it his duty and goal in life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Unnecessary Bloodshed.&lt;/b&gt; While he's not hesitant to fight when needed, any conflict that can be resolved peacefully is preferable to Haien.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Close combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien grew up with the spear, training for the majority of his life to reach peak combat performance. Add on to this his strength and his instinct for battle and it can be easy to see how he would excel in such matters.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Attractive.&lt;/b&gt; Though he doesn't intentionally cultivate good looks, a side result of his training is that he's physically fit, and genetics have provided him with an extra boost on top of that.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dedication to those he's protecting.&lt;/b&gt; In some ways a strength, this can also be a major weakness for Haien, as he won't hesitate to use himself as a shield for those he's protecting, even if such a thing will prove harmful to his own person.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ranged Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien has never varied from the spear, and as such, any opponent quick enough to keep out of his range will find that Haien has few answers from a distance.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Difficulty switching between work and play&lt;/b&gt; Haien has a very different mindset when he's on the job compared to off it, and so if he's forced into a leisure or social situation immediately after a job (or worse, during one) it can be very difficult for him to actually relax and be reasonably social.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Childhood and Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;From a young age, Haien was proud to be the product of a long line of guards. Like many other children of guards, he spent his formative years preparing for his eventual life as a guard -- something he was proud to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When he was finally old enough to undertake the formal training, it surprised no one that he was the strongest and fastest of the adolescents gathered. What &lt;b&gt;DID&lt;/b&gt; take Haien by surprise was how narrow the margin was between him and the other frontrunner behind him; Rino. While Haien had a clear advantage, Rino was close behind, and the two spent most of their free time together, spurring each other on in a friendly rivalry. Their instructor was quick to notice and encourage this friendship, often assigning them the same duties and responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Their ability to spur each other on allowed them to complete training early, and in fact, both Haien and Rino were made fully-fledged guards on the same sun, in the same ceremony -- a full six moons before the rest of the trainees.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Two moons later, the two were on a routine patrol when disaster struck. A giant plesiosaur of monstrous size emerged from the depths, attacking both Haien and Rino. The two fought fiercely with everything they had, but eventually Rino was critically injured. Spurred on by the desperation to save his friend, Haien finally managed to wound the creature, causing it to retreat into the depths from whence it came.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Although Haien rushed Rino back to the palace as quickly as he could, there was little that could be done, and Rino succumbed to his injuries soon after. Haien was devastated, and he fled the palace, swimming away in no particular direction, driven half mad by a combination of grief and shame.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Post-Shisui&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The next few suns were difficult for Haien, as he struggled with both his emotions and his basic needs for survival. He soon learned that his skill with a spear could be used not only for combat, but also for catching the fish he relied upon as his primary source of nourishment. Haien quickly lost track of the passage of time, his every waking moment focused on the refinement of his spearfishing techniques, or on busy work designed to keep his mind off recent events he couldn't quite deal with yet.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The longer he avoided the subject in waking bells, however, the worse his nightmares became. It didn't take long before he could barely close his eyes without seeing Rino's decaying corpse, which in turn drove away Haien's appetite. Starving and delirious from lack of sleep, Haien began to hallucinate. As he neared the brink of death, the hallucinations took the shape of his parents, scolding him for throwing away the inheritance, the &lt;i&gt;legacy&lt;/i&gt; they had trusted him with. He tried to turn away, only to run face first into Rino, who urged Haien to forgive himself; to move on and live a life they could both be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was this final hallucination that spurred Haien into gear. Despite how weak he had become, he managed to spear several fish, consuming them raw, for he had not the strength to do otherwise. That done, he slept, dreaming of his friends and family urging him to move forward once more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;This encouragement set him on a new path; to kill the giant plesiosaur and avenge Rino. He spent the next few years training further, pushing his every limit, both physically and mentally. Much of his time was spent on isolation, with occasional visits to the Blue Kojin of Tamamizu for trading purposes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, word traveled of an event that had been held in Isari, in which many giant plesiosaurs had been slain in the name of preserving a local variety of fish. Haien left for Isari immediately, hoping to gather tips and techniques to kill his own demon. Once there, he was horrified to find that the beast had already been slain; the scar he'd left years prior and its remarkable size left there no question that it was the same creature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A Return to Form&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Left without a purpose, Haien returned once more to isolation, until one day, by chance, he happened upon a young Raen child far outside the boundaries of Sui-no-Sato, who had become lost and disoriented. Haien helped the child back, though he stayed clear of the border himself, only getting the child far enough to ensure they would make it home safely.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Saving the child made Haien realize that, while he would not return to his old life, he could still honor his ancestors and lineage; he could serve as a guard, even if the Palace and Ruby Princess were no longer options. It was with this goal in mind he ventured to Kugane, where he spent his meager savings commissioning a set of uniforms similar to those he had worn as a guard, with a few changes to better fit his new life. Fortunately for Haien, bodyguard services were in high demand, and his skill in combat and dedication to his clients set him apart from the average mercenary adventurer.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Soon enough, Haien found himself nearly swimming with clients, however one in particular bid higher than the rest, hiring Haien on as a protector for an overseas voyage. The trip was mostly uneventful, though Haien found the ship's workings and crew fascinating, and did what he could to help out -- something his wealthy patron encouraged, as she enjoyed watching him work. By the time the ship reached the harbor of Limsa Lominsa, however, Haien had grown weary of his patron's advances, and the two came to the joint decision not to renew his contract.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Eorzea&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;A stranger in a new land, Haien shoved aside his discomfort to focus on the practicalities of his situation, quickly starting to establish contacts, spread word of his services, and generally market himself in any reasonable way he could.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> !

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little.

If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too.

In his spare time he enjoys spearfishing and swimming, and in general prefers areas with water over those with none.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the strong side even for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. While on a job, his natural resting expression is a stern one; one cultivated to dissuade fights before they can start. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. His attire is vaguely reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear, though he has adopted the Eorzean custom of wearing pants, as the Kohakama he had worn previously garnered too much attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Water.&lt;/b&gt; Being submerged in water reminds him of the home he will likely never be able to return to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Protecting people.&lt;/b&gt; His life may not have led to being a palace guard as expected, but Haien still finds satisfaction in keeping others safe, considering it his duty and goal in life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Unnecessary Bloodshed.&lt;/b&gt; While he's not hesitant to fight when needed, any conflict that can be resolved peacefully is preferable to Haien.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Close combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien grew up with the spear, training for the majority of his life to reach peak combat performance. Add on to this his strength and his instinct for battle and it can be easy to see how he would excel in such matters.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Attractive.&lt;/b&gt; Though he doesn't intentionally cultivate good looks, a side result of his training is that he's physically fit, and genetics have provided him with an extra boost on top of that.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dedication to those he's protecting.&lt;/b&gt; In some ways a strength, this can also be a major weakness for Haien, as he won't hesitate to use himself as a shield for those he's protecting, even if such a thing will prove harmful to his own person.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ranged Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien has never varied from the spear, and as such, any opponent quick enough to keep out of his range will find that Haien has few answers from a distance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Childhood and Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;From a young age, Haien was proud to be the product of a long line of guards. Like many other children of guards, he spent his formative years preparing for his eventual life as a guard -- something he was proud to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When he was finally old enough to undertake the formal training, it surprised no one that he was the strongest and fastest of the adolescents gathered. What &lt;b&gt;DID&lt;/b&gt; take Haien by surprise was how narrow the margin was between him and the other frontrunner behind him; Rino. While Haien had a clear advantage, Rino was close behind, and the two spent most of their free time together, spurring each other on in a friendly rivalry. Their instructor was quick to notice and encourage this friendship, often assigning them the same duties and responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Their ability to spur each other on allowed them to complete training early, and in fact, both Haien and Rino were made fully-fledged guards on the same sun, in the same ceremony -- a full six moons before the rest of the trainees.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Two moons later, the two were on a routine patrol when disaster struck. A giant plesiosaur of monstrous size emerged from the depths, attacking both Haien and Rino. The two fought fiercely with everything they had, but eventually Rino was critically injured. Spurred on by the desperation to save his friend, Haien finally managed to wound the creature, causing it to retreat into the depths from whence it came.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Although Haien rushed Rino back to the palace as quickly as he could, there was little that could be done, and Rino succumbed to his injuries soon after. Haien was devastated, and he fled the palace, swimming away in no particular direction, driven half mad by a combination of grief and shame.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Post-Shisui&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The next few suns were difficult for Haien, as he struggled with both his emotions and his basic needs for survival. He soon learned that his skill with a spear could be used not only for combat, but also for catching the fish he relied upon as his primary source of nourishment. Haien quickly lost track of the passage of time, his every waking moment focused on the refinement of his spearfishing techniques, or on busy work designed to keep his mind off recent events he couldn't quite deal with yet.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The longer he avoided the subject in waking bells, however, the worse his nightmares became. It didn't take long before he could barely close his eyes without seeing Rino's decaying corpse, which in turn drove away Haien's appetite. Starving and delirious from lack of sleep, Haien began to hallucinate. As he neared the brink of death, the hallucinations took the shape of his parents, scolding him for throwing away the inheritance, the &lt;i&gt;legacy&lt;/i&gt; they had trusted him with. He tried to turn away, only to run face first into Rino, who urged Haien to forgive himself; to move on and live a life they could both be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was this final hallucination that spurred Haien into gear. Despite how weak he had become, he managed to spear several fish, consuming them raw, for he had not the strength to do otherwise. That done, he slept, dreaming of his friends and family urging him to move forward once more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;This encouragement set him on a new path; to kill the giant plesiosaur and avenge Rino. He spent the next few years training further, pushing his every limit, both physically and mentally. Much of his time was spent on isolation, with occasional visits to the Blue Kojin of Tamamizu for trading purposes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, word traveled of an event that had been held in Isari, in which many giant plesiosaurs had been slain in the name of preserving a local variety of fish. Haien left for Isari immediately, hoping to gather tips and techniques to kill his own demon. Once there, he was horrified to find that the beast had already been slain; the scar he'd left years prior and its remarkable size left there no question that it was the same creature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A Return to Form&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Left without a purpose, Haien returned once more to isolation, until one day, by chance, he happened upon a young Raen child far outside the boundaries of Sui-no-Sato, who had become lost and disoriented. Haien helped the child back, though he stayed clear of the border himself, only getting the child far enough to ensure they would make it home safely.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Saving the child made Haien realize that, while he would not return to his old life, he could still honor his ancestors and lineage; he could serve as a guard, even if the Palace and Ruby Princess were no longer options. It was with this goal in mind he ventured to Kugane, where he spent his meager savings commissioning a set of uniforms similar to those he had worn as a guard, with a few changes to better fit his new life. Fortunately for Haien, bodyguard services were in high demand, and his skill in combat and dedication to his clients set him apart from the average mercenary adventurer.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Soon enough, Haien found himself nearly swimming with clients, however one in particular bid higher than the rest, hiring Haien on as a protector for an overseas voyage. The trip was mostly uneventful, though Haien found the ship's workings and crew fascinating, and did what he could to help out -- something his wealthy patron encouraged, as she enjoyed watching him work. By the time the ship reached the harbor of Limsa Lominsa, however, Haien had grown weary of his patron's advances, and the two came to the joint decision not to renew his contract.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Eorzea&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;A stranger in a new land, Haien shoved aside his discomfort to focus on the practicalities of his situation, quickly starting to establish contacts, spread word of his services, and generally market himself in any reasonable way he could.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> !

He is generally known to do so for little to no pay, depending on the need of his client and how badly in need of help they are.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wilds Man:&lt;/b&gt; Not to be confused with ‘wild man’ which he certainly is not, Haien tends to be comfortable in most wilderness environments – particularly the deserts of Thanalan. He’s significantly less comfortable in the cold climates of Coerthas.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quietness:&lt;/b&gt; In large groups, sometimes Haien makes as much of an impression by conspicuously &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/I&gt; being as lively as the average person.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Armor, or lack thereof:&lt;/b&gt; Haien frequently receives comments on his particular choice of armor. It’s also led to a few misunderstandings, though he’s usually quick to head those people off.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =OOC Notes=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ABOUT THE PLAYER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;I am a mid-20’s man living with his cat in the mid-western United States on a sleep schedule that only some sort of crazed psychic would be able to predict. I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

In his spare time he enjoys spearfishing and swimming, and in general prefers areas with water over those with none.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the strong side even for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. While on a job, his natural resting expression is a stern one; one cultivated to dissuade fights before they can start. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. His attire is vaguely reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear, though he has adopted the Eorzean custom of wearing pants, as the Kohakama he had worn previously garnered too much attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Water.&lt;/b&gt; Being submerged in water reminds him of the home he will likely never be able to return to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Protecting people.&lt;/b&gt; His life may not have led to being a palace guard as expected, but Haien still finds satisfaction in keeping others safe, considering it his duty and goal in life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loudmouths.&lt;/b&gt; People who talk too much while saying very little are one of Haien’s biggest pet peeves.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loud, crowded environments&lt;/b&gt; It’s not a severe dislike, and he’s certainly been known to spend his fair share of time in cities, but when practical, he tends to avoid extended periods of time spent in crowded markets and the like.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Botany.&lt;/b&gt; Need an expensive herb for a good reason, but unable to afford market price? Need an ingredient for a poison that grows in exactly one place in the world and only under certain conditions? Need a strong lumber to build a lasting home with? Haien is your man for any of this and more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Willingness to help strangers.&lt;/b&gt; Though it may not be for the ideal reasons, Haien goes out of his way to help people when possible, as he views it as a form of atonement for his past failings.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loyalty.&lt;/b&gt; Both a strength and a weakness, Haien is &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; loyal to his friends, and there are very few obstacles he couldn't overcome if a friend was in need.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loyalty.&lt;/b&gt; Both a strength and a weakness, Haien is &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; loyal to his friends, leaving him open to exploitation were someone to feel so inclined.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Introversion.&lt;/b&gt; Haien frequently doesn't know the right thing to do/say in social situations, as they're far from his preferred environment. This has improved some due to training from Gwendolyn Cooper, but is still far from ideal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Childhood and Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;From a young age, Haien was proud to be the product of a long line of guards. Like many other children of guards, he spent his formative years preparing for his eventual life as a guard -- something he was proud to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When he was finally old enough to undertake the formal training, it surprised no one that he was the strongest and fastest of the adolescents gathered. What &lt;b&gt;DID&lt;/b&gt; take Haien by surprise was how narrow the margin was between him and the other frontrunner behind him; Rino. While Haien had a clear advantage, Rino was close behind, and the two spent most of their free time together, spurring each other on in a friendly rivalry. Their instructor was quick to notice and encourage this friendship, often assigning them the same duties and responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Their ability to spur each other on allowed them to complete training early, and in fact, both Haien and Rino were made fully-fledged guards on the same sun, in the same ceremony -- a full six moons before the rest of the trainees.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Two moons later, the two were on a routine patrol when disaster struck. A giant plesiosaur of monstrous size emerged from the depths, attacking both Haien and Rino. The two fought fiercely with everything they had, but eventually Rino was critically injured. Spurred on by the desperation to save his friend, Haien finally managed to wound the creature, causing it to retreat into the depths from whence it came.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Although Haien rushed Rino back to the palace as quickly as he could, there was little that could be done, and Rino succumbed to his injuries soon after. Haien was devastated, and he fled the palace, swimming away in no particular direction, driven half mad by a combination of grief and shame.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Post-Shisui&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The next few suns were difficult for Haien, as he struggled with both his emotions and his basic needs for survival. He soon learned that his skill with a spear could be used not only for combat, but also for catching the fish he relied upon as his primary source of nourishment. Haien quickly lost track of the passage of time, his every waking moment focused on the refinement of his spearfishing techniques, or on busy work designed to keep his mind off recent events he couldn't quite deal with yet.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The longer he avoided the subject in waking bells, however, the worse his nightmares became. It didn't take long before he could barely close his eyes without seeing Rino's decaying corpse, which in turn drove away Haien's appetite. Starving and delirious from lack of sleep, Haien began to hallucinate. As he neared the brink of death, the hallucinations took the shape of his parents, scolding him for throwing away the inheritance, the &lt;i&gt;legacy&lt;/i&gt; they had trusted him with. He tried to turn away, only to run face first into Rino, who urged Haien to forgive himself; to move on and live a life they could both be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was this final hallucination that spurred Haien into gear. Despite how weak he had become, he managed to spear several fish, consuming them raw, for he had not the strength to do otherwise. That done, he slept, dreaming of his friends and family urging him to move forward once more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;This encouragement set him on a new path; to kill the giant plesiosaur and avenge Rino. He spent the next few years training further, pushing his every limit, both physically and mentally. Much of his time was spent on isolation, with occasional visits to the Blue Kojin of Tamamizu for trading purposes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, word traveled of an event that had been held in Isari, in which many giant plesiosaurs had been slain in the name of preserving a local variety of fish. Haien left for Isari immediately, hoping to gather tips and techniques to kill his own demon. Once there, he was horrified to find that the beast had already been slain; the scar he'd left years prior and its remarkable size left there no question that it was the same creature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A Return to Form&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Left without a purpose, Haien returned once more to isolation, until one day, by chance, he happened upon a young Raen child far outside the boundaries of Sui-no-Sato, who had become lost and disoriented. Haien helped the child back, though he stayed clear of the border himself, only getting the child far enough to ensure they would make it home safely.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Saving the child made Haien realize that, while he would not return to his old life, he could still honor his ancestors and lineage; he could serve as a guard, even if the Palace and Ruby Princess were no longer options. It was with this goal in mind he ventured to Kugane, where he spent his meager savings commissioning a set of uniforms similar to those he had worn as a guard, with a few changes to better fit his new life. Fortunately for Haien, bodyguard services were in high demand, and his skill in combat and dedication to his clients set him apart from the average mercenary adventurer.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Soon enough, Haien found himself nearly swimming with clients, however one in particular bid higher than the rest, hiring Haien on as a protector for an overseas voyage. The trip was mostly uneventful, though Haien found the ship's workings and crew fascinating, and did what he could to help out -- something his wealthy patron encouraged, as she enjoyed watching him work. By the time the ship reached the harbor of Limsa Lominsa, however, Haien had grown weary of his patron's advances, and the two came to the joint decision not to renew his contract.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Eorzea&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;A stranger in a new land, Haien shoved aside his discomfort to focus on the practicalities of his situation, quickly starting to establish contacts, spread word of his services, and generally market himself in any reasonable way he could.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> !

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

In his spare time he enjoys spearfishing and swimming, and in general prefers areas with water over those with none.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the strong side even for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. While on a job, his natural resting expression is a stern one; one cultivated to dissuade fights before they can start. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. His attire is vaguely reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear, though he has adopted the Eorzean custom of wearing pants, as the Kohakama he had worn previously garnered too much attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Space.&lt;/b&gt; His friends tend to be the people who understand he sometimes just needs to be alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Helping People.&lt;/b&gt; It’s always a temporary fix, but helping people is a band-aid to atone for those he feels he has wronged.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Being out in nature.&lt;/b&gt; Very little is as calming, and next to nothing offers him the serenity that gathering herbs in the wilderness does.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;His farm.&lt;/b&gt; Haien takes a lot of pride in his work and the produce produced by the Cooper farm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loudmouths.&lt;/b&gt; People who talk too much while saying very little are one of Haien’s biggest pet peeves.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loud, crowded environments&lt;/b&gt; It’s not a severe dislike, and he’s certainly been known to spend his fair share of time in cities, but when practical, he tends to avoid extended periods of time spent in crowded markets and the like.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Botany.&lt;/b&gt; Need an expensive herb for a good reason, but unable to afford market price?

This has improved some due to training from Gwendolyn Cooper, but is still far from ideal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Childhood and Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;From a young age, Haien was proud to be the product of a long line of guards. Like many other children of guards, he spent his formative years preparing for his eventual life as a guard -- something he was proud to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When he was finally old enough to undertake the formal training, it surprised no one that he was the strongest and fastest of the adolescents gathered. What &lt;b&gt;DID&lt;/b&gt; take Haien by surprise was how narrow the margin was between him and the other frontrunner behind him; Rino. While Haien had a clear advantage, Rino was close behind, and the two spent most of their free time together, spurring each other on in a friendly rivalry. Their instructor was quick to notice and encourage this friendship, often assigning them the same duties and responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Their ability to spur each other on allowed them to complete training early, and in fact, both Haien and Rino were made fully-fledged guards on the same sun, in the same ceremony -- a full six moons before the rest of the trainees.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Two moons later, the two were on a routine patrol when disaster struck. A giant plesiosaur of monstrous size emerged from the depths, attacking both Haien and Rino. The two fought fiercely with everything they had, but eventually Rino was critically injured. Spurred on by the desperation to save his friend, Haien finally managed to wound the creature, causing it to retreat into the depths from whence it came.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Although Haien rushed Rino back to the palace as quickly as he could, there was little that could be done, and Rino succumbed to his injuries soon after. Haien was devastated, and he fled the palace, swimming away in no particular direction, driven half mad by a combination of grief and shame.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Post-Shisui&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The next few suns were difficult for Haien, as he struggled with both his emotions and his basic needs for survival. He soon learned that his skill with a spear could be used not only for combat, but also for catching the fish he relied upon as his primary source of nourishment. Haien quickly lost track of the passage of time, his every waking moment focused on the refinement of his spearfishing techniques, or on busy work designed to keep his mind off recent events he couldn't quite deal with yet.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The longer he avoided the subject in waking bells, however, the worse his nightmares became. It didn't take long before he could barely close his eyes without seeing Rino's decaying corpse, which in turn drove away Haien's appetite. Starving and delirious from lack of sleep, Haien began to hallucinate. As he neared the brink of death, the hallucinations took the shape of his parents, scolding him for throwing away the inheritance, the &lt;i&gt;legacy&lt;/i&gt; they had trusted him with. He tried to turn away, only to run face first into Rino, who urged Haien to forgive himself; to move on and live a life they could both be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was this final hallucination that spurred Haien into gear. Despite how weak he had become, he managed to spear several fish, consuming them raw, for he had not the strength to do otherwise. That done, he slept, dreaming of his friends and family urging him to move forward once more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;This encouragement set him on a new path; to kill the giant plesiosaur and avenge Rino. He spent the next few years training further, pushing his every limit, both physically and mentally. Much of his time was spent on isolation, with occasional visits to the Blue Kojin of Tamamizu for trading purposes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, word traveled of an event that had been held in Isari, in which many giant plesiosaurs had been slain in the name of preserving a local variety of fish. Haien left for Isari immediately, hoping to gather tips and techniques to kill his own demon. Once there, he was horrified to find that the beast had already been slain; the scar he'd left years prior and its remarkable size left there no question that it was the same creature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A Return to Form&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Left without a purpose, Haien returned once more to isolation, until one day, by chance, he happened upon a young Raen child far outside the boundaries of Sui-no-Sato, who had become lost and disoriented. Haien helped the child back, though he stayed clear of the border himself, only getting the child far enough to ensure they would make it home safely.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Saving the child made Haien realize that, while he would not return to his old life, he could still honor his ancestors and lineage; he could serve as a guard, even if the Palace and Ruby Princess were no longer options. It was with this goal in mind he ventured to Kugane, where he spent his meager savings commissioning a set of uniforms similar to those he had worn as a guard, with a few changes to better fit his new life. Fortunately for Haien, bodyguard services were in high demand, and his skill in combat and dedication to his clients set him apart from the average mercenary adventurer.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Soon enough, Haien found himself nearly swimming with clients, however one in particular bid higher than the rest, hiring Haien on as a protector for an overseas voyage. The trip was mostly uneventful, though Haien found the ship's workings and crew fascinating, and did what he could to help out -- something his wealthy patron encouraged, as she enjoyed watching him work. By the time the ship reached the harbor of Limsa Lominsa, however, Haien had grown weary of his patron's advances, and the two came to the joint decision not to renew his contract.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Eorzea&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;A stranger in a new land, Haien shoved aside his discomfort to focus on the practicalities of his situation, quickly starting to establish contacts, spread word of his services, and generally market himself in any reasonable way he could.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> !

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little.

In his spare time he enjoys spearfishing and swimming, and in general prefers areas with water over those with none.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the strong side even for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. While on a job, his natural resting expression is a stern one; one cultivated to dissuade fights before they can start. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. His attire is vaguely reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear, though he has adopted the Eorzean custom of wearing pants, as the Kohakama he had worn previously garnered too much attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While on the job, Haien is cool and professional, detaching as best he can from any humanizing expressions and emotions, as he's learned that dissuading a fight is always more effective than having to win one. That said,<br /> should combat break out, he has a natural instinct for his spear, which over the years, has become nearly an extension of his own body.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;In his personal life, Haien is far less removed. He enjoys pretty much any contact with water, finding particular pleasure in locales in which he can swim -- especially the ocean, as it reminds him of the home he left so long ago.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Water&lt;/b&gt; Being submerged in water reminds him of the home he will likely never be able to return to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Protecting people&lt;/b&gt; His life may not have led to being a palace guard as expected, but Haien still finds satisfaction in keeping others safe, considering it his duty and goal in life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Unnecessary Bloodshed.&lt;/b&gt; While he's not hesitant to fight when needed, any conflict that can be resolved peacefully is preferable to Haien.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bad thing.&lt;/b&gt; why he dislikes it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien grew up with the spear, training for the majority of his life to reach peak combat performance. Add on to this his strength and his instinct for battle and it can be easy to see how he would excel in such matters.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Attractive&lt;/b&gt; Though he doesn't intentionally cultivate good looks, a side result of his training is that he's physically fit, and genetics have provided him with an extra boost on top of that.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dedication to protection&lt;/b&gt; In some ways a strength, this can also be a major weakness for Haien, as he won't hesitate to use himself as a shield for those he's protecting, even if such a thing will prove harmful to his own person.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ranged Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien has never varied from the spear, and as such, any opponent quick enough to keep out of his range will find that Haien has few answers from a distance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Difficulty switching between work and play&lt;/b&gt; Haien has a very different mindset when he's on the job compared to off it, and so if he's forced into a leisure or social situation immediately after a job (or worse, during one) it can be very difficult for him to actually relax and be reasonably social.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Childhood and Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;From a young age, Haien was proud to be the product of a long line of guards. Like many other children of guards, he spent his formative years preparing for his eventual life as a guard -- something he was proud to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When he was finally old enough to undertake the formal training, it surprised no one that he was the strongest and fastest of the adolescents gathered. What &lt;b&gt;DID&lt;/b&gt; take Haien by surprise was how narrow the margin was between him and the other frontrunner behind him; Rino. While Haien had a clear advantage, Rino was close behind, and the two spent most of their free time together, spurring each other on in a friendly rivalry. Their instructor was quick to notice and encourage this friendship, often assigning them the same duties and responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Their ability to spur each other on allowed them to complete training early, and in fact, both Haien and Rino were made fully-fledged guards on the same sun, in the same ceremony -- a full six moons before the rest of the trainees.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Two moons later, the two were on a routine patrol when disaster struck. A giant plesiosaur of monstrous size emerged from the depths, attacking both Haien and Rino. The two fought fiercely with everything they had, but eventually Rino was critically injured. Spurred on by the desperation to save his friend, Haien finally managed to wound the creature, causing it to retreat into the depths from whence it came.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Although Haien rushed Rino back to the palace as quickly as he could, there was little that could be done, and Rino succumbed to his injuries soon after. Haien was devastated, and he fled the palace, swimming away in no particular direction, driven half mad by a combination of grief and shame.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Post-Shisui&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The next few suns were difficult for Haien, as he struggled with both his emotions and his basic needs for survival. He soon learned that his skill with a spear could be used not only for combat, but also for catching the fish he relied upon as his primary source of nourishment. Haien quickly lost track of the passage of time, his every waking moment focused on the refinement of his spearfishing techniques, or on busy work designed to keep his mind off recent events he couldn't quite deal with yet.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The longer he avoided the subject in waking bells, however, the worse his nightmares became. It didn't take long before he could barely close his eyes without seeing Rino's decaying corpse, which in turn drove away Haien's appetite. Starving and delirious from lack of sleep, Haien began to hallucinate. As he neared the brink of death, the hallucinations took the shape of his parents, scolding him for throwing away the inheritance, the &lt;i&gt;legacy&lt;/i&gt; they had trusted him with. He tried to turn away, only to run face first into Rino, who urged Haien to forgive himself; to move on and live a life they could both be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was this final hallucination that spurred Haien into gear. Despite how weak he had become, he managed to spear several fish, consuming them raw, for he had not the strength to do otherwise. That done, he slept, dreaming of his friends and family urging him to move forward once more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;This encouragement set him on a new path; to kill the giant plesiosaur and avenge Rino. He spent the next few years training further, pushing his every limit, both physically and mentally. Much of his time was spent on isolation, with occasional visits to the Blue Kojin of Tamamizu for trading purposes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, word traveled of an event that had been held in Isari, in which many giant plesiosaurs had been slain in the name of preserving a local variety of fish. Haien left for Isari immediately, hoping to gather tips and techniques to kill his own demon. Once there, he was horrified to find that the beast had already been slain; the scar he'd left years prior and its remarkable size left there no question that it was the same creature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A Return to Form&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Left without a purpose, Haien returned once more to isolation, until one day, by chance, he happened upon a young Raen child far outside the boundaries of Sui-no-Sato, who had become lost and disoriented. Haien helped the child back, though he stayed clear of the border himself, only getting the child far enough to ensure they would make it home safely.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Saving the child made Haien realize that, while he would not return to his old life, he could still honor his ancestors and lineage; he could serve as a guard, even if the Palace and Ruby Princess were no longer options. It was with this goal in mind he ventured to Kugane, where he spent his meager savings commissioning a set of uniforms similar to those he had worn as a guard, with a few changes to better fit his new life. Fortunately for Haien, bodyguard services were in high demand, and his skill in combat and dedication to his clients set him apart from the average mercenary adventurer.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Soon enough, Haien found himself nearly swimming with clients, however one in particular bid higher than the rest, hiring Haien on as a protector for an overseas voyage. The trip was mostly uneventful, though Haien found the ship's workings and crew fascinating, and did what he could to help out -- something his wealthy patron encouraged, as she enjoyed watching him work. By the time the ship reached the harbor of Limsa Lominsa, however, Haien had grown weary of his patron's advances, and the two came to the joint decision not to renew his contract.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Eorzea&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;A stranger in a new land, Haien shoved aside his discomfort to focus on the practicalities of his situation, quickly starting to establish contacts, spread word of his services, and generally market himself in any reasonable way he could.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> !

He is generally known to do so for little to no pay, depending on the need of his client and how badly in need of help they are.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wilds Man:&lt;/b&gt; Not to be confused with ‘wild man’ which he certainly is not, Haien tends to be comfortable in most wilderness environments – particularly the deserts of Thanalan. He’s significantly less comfortable in the cold climates of Coerthas.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quietness:&lt;/b&gt; In large groups, sometimes Haien makes as much of an impression by conspicuously &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/I&gt; being as lively as the average person.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Armor, or lack thereof:&lt;/b&gt; Haien frequently receives comments on his particular choice of armor. It’s also led to a few misunderstandings, though he’s usually quick to head those people off.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =OOC Notes=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ABOUT THE PLAYER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;I am a mid-20’s man living with his cat in the mid-western United States on a sleep schedule that only some sort of crazed psychic would be able to predict. I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

In his spare time he enjoys spearfishing and swimming, and in general prefers areas with water over those with none.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the strong side even for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. While on a job, his natural resting expression is a stern one; one cultivated to dissuade fights before they can start. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. His attire is vaguely reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear, though he has adopted the Eorzean custom of wearing pants, as the Kohakama he had worn previously garnered too much attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While on the job, Haien is cool and professional, detaching as best he can from any humanizing expressions and emotions, as he's learned that dissuading a fight is always more effective than having to win one. That said,<br /> should combat break out, he has a natural instinct for his spear, which over the years, has become nearly an extension of his own body.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;In his personal life, Haien is far less removed. He enjoys pretty much any contact with water, finding particular pleasure in locales in which he can swim -- especially the ocean, as it reminds him of the home he left so long ago.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Water&lt;/b&gt; Being submerged in water reminds him of the home he will likely never be able to return to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Protecting people&lt;/b&gt; His life may not have led to being a palace guard as expected, but Haien still finds satisfaction in keeping others safe, considering it his duty and goal in life.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Unnecessary Bloodshed.&lt;/b&gt; While he's not hesitant to fight when needed, any conflict that can be resolved peacefully is preferable to Haien.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bad thing.&lt;/b&gt; why he dislikes it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien grew up with the spear, training for the majority of his life to reach peak combat performance. Add on to this his strength and his instinct for battle and it can be easy to see how he would excel in such matters.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Attractive&lt;/b&gt; Though he doesn't intentionally cultivate good looks, a side result of his training is that he's physically fit, and genetics have provided him with an extra boost on top of that.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dedication to protection&lt;/b&gt; In some ways a strength, this can also be a major weakness for Haien, as he won't hesitate to use himself as a shield for those he's protecting, even if such a thing will prove harmful to his own person.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ranged Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien has never varied from the spear, and as such, any opponent quick enough to keep out of his range will find that Haien has few answers from a distance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Difficulty switching between work and play&lt;/b&gt; Haien has a very different mindset when he's on the job compared to off it, and so if he's forced into a leisure or social situation immediately after a job (or worse, during one) it can be very difficult for him to actually relax and be reasonably social.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Childhood and Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;From a young age, Haien was proud to be the product of a long line of guards. Like many other children of guards, he spent his formative years preparing for his eventual life as a guard -- something he was proud to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When he was finally old enough to undertake the formal training, it surprised no one that he was the strongest and fastest of the adolescents gathered. What &lt;b&gt;DID&lt;/b&gt; take Haien by surprise was how narrow the margin was between him and the other frontrunner behind him; Rino. While Haien had a clear advantage, Rino was close behind, and the two spent most of their free time together, spurring each other on in a friendly rivalry. Their instructor was quick to notice and encourage this friendship, often assigning them the same duties and responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Their ability to spur each other on allowed them to complete training early, and in fact, both Haien and Rino were made fully-fledged guards on the same sun, in the same ceremony -- a full six moons before the rest of the trainees.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Two moons later, the two were on a routine patrol when disaster struck. A giant plesiosaur of monstrous size emerged from the depths, attacking both Haien and Rino. The two fought fiercely with everything they had, but eventually Rino was critically injured. Spurred on by the desperation to save his friend, Haien finally managed to wound the creature, causing it to retreat into the depths from whence it came.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Although Haien rushed Rino back to the palace as quickly as he could, there was little that could be done, and Rino succumbed to his injuries soon after. Haien was devastated, and he fled the palace, swimming away in no particular direction, driven half mad by a combination of grief and shame.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Post-Shisui&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The next few suns were difficult for Haien, as he struggled with both his emotions and his basic needs for survival. He soon learned that his skill with a spear could be used not only for combat, but also for catching the fish he relied upon as his primary source of nourishment. Haien quickly lost track of the passage of time, his every waking moment focused on the refinement of his spearfishing techniques, or on busy work designed to keep his mind off recent events he couldn't quite deal with yet.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The longer he avoided the subject in waking bells, however, the worse his nightmares became. It didn't take long before he could barely close his eyes without seeing Rino's decaying corpse, which in turn drove away Haien's appetite. Starving and delirious from lack of sleep, Haien began to hallucinate. As he neared the brink of death, the hallucinations took the shape of his parents, scolding him for throwing away the inheritance, the &lt;i&gt;legacy&lt;/i&gt; they had trusted him with. He tried to turn away, only to run face first into Rino, who urged Haien to forgive himself; to move on and live a life they could both be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was this final hallucination that spurred Haien into gear. Despite how weak he had become, he managed to spear several fish, consuming them raw, for he had not the strength to do otherwise. That done, he slept, dreaming of his friends and family urging him to move forward once more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;This encouragement set him on a new path; to kill the giant plesiosaur and avenge Rino. He spent the next few years training further, pushing his every limit, both physically and mentally. Much of his time was spent on isolation, with occasional visits to the Blue Kojin of Tamamizu for trading purposes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, word traveled of an event that had been held in Isari, in which many giant plesiosaurs had been slain in the name of preserving a local variety of fish. Haien left for Isari immediately, hoping to gather tips and techniques to kill his own demon. Once there, he was horrified to find that the beast had already been slain; the scar he'd left years prior and its remarkable size left there no question that it was the same creature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A Return to Form&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Left without a purpose, Haien returned once more to isolation, until one day, by chance, he happened upon a young Raen child far outside the boundaries of Sui-no-Sato, who had become lost and disoriented. Haien helped the child back, though he stayed clear of the border himself, only getting the child far enough to ensure they would make it home safely.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Saving the child made Haien realize that, while he would not return to his old life, he could still honor his ancestors and lineage; he could serve as a guard, even if the Palace and Ruby Princess were no longer options. It was with this goal in mind he ventured to Kugane, where he spent his meager savings commissioning a set of uniforms similar to those he had worn as a guard, with a few changes to better fit his new life. Fortunately for Haien, bodyguard services were in high demand, and his skill in combat and dedication to his clients set him apart from the average mercenary adventurer.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Soon enough, Haien found himself nearly swimming with clients, however one in particular bid higher than the rest, hiring Haien on as a protector for an overseas voyage. The trip was mostly uneventful, though Haien found the ship's workings and crew fascinating, and did what he could to help out -- something his wealthy patron encouraged, as she enjoyed watching him work. By the time the ship reached the harbor of Limsa Lominsa, however, Haien had grown weary of his patron's advances, and the two came to the joint decision not to renew his contract.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Eorzea&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;A stranger in a new land, Haien shoved aside his discomfort to focus on the practicalities of his situation, quickly starting to establish contacts, spread word of his services, and generally market himself in any reasonable way he could.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> !

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

In his spare time he enjoys spearfishing and swimming, and in general prefers areas with water over those with none.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the strong side even for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. While on a job, his natural resting expression is a stern one; one cultivated to dissuade fights before they can start. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. His attire is vaguely reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear, though he has adopted the Eorzean custom of wearing pants, as the Kohakama he had worn previously garnered too much attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While on the job, Haien is cool and professional, detaching as best he can from any humanizing expressions and emotions, as he's learned that dissuading a fight is always more effective than having to win one. That said,<br /> should combat break out, he has a natural instinct for his spear, which over the years, has become nearly an extension of his own body.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;In his personal life, Haien is far less removed. He enjoys pretty much any contact with water, finding particular pleasure in locales in which he can swim -- especially the ocean, as it reminds him of the home he left so long ago.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Water&lt;/b&gt; Being submerged in water reminds him of the home he will likely never be able to return to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Protecting people&lt;/b&gt; His life may not have led to being a palace guard as expected, but Haien still finds satisfaction in keeping others safe, considering it his duty and goal in life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Unnecessary Bloodshed.&lt;/b&gt; While he's not hesitant to fight when needed, any conflict that can be resolved peacefully is preferable to Haien.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bad thing.&lt;/b&gt; why he dislikes it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien grew up with the spear, training for the majority of his life to reach peak combat performance. Add on to this his strength and his instinct for battle and it can be easy to see how he would excel in such matters.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Attractive&lt;/b&gt; Though he doesn't intentionally cultivate good looks, a side result of his training is that he's physically fit, and genetics have provided him with an extra boost on top of that.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dedication to protection&lt;/b&gt; In some ways a strength, this can also be a major weakness for Haien, as he won't hesitate to use himself as a shield for those he's protecting, even if such a thing will prove harmful to his own person.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ranged Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien has never varied from the spear, and as such, any opponent quick enough to keep out of his range will find that Haien has few answers from a distance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Difficulty switching between work and play&lt;/b&gt; Haien has a very different mindset when he's on the job compared to off it, and so if he's forced into a leisure or social situation immediately after a job (or worse, during one) it can be very difficult for him to actually relax and be reasonably social.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Childhood and Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;From a young age, Haien was proud to be the product of a long line of guards. Like many other children of guards, he spent his formative years preparing for his eventual life as a guard -- something he was proud to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When he was finally old enough to undertake the formal training, it surprised no one that he was the strongest and fastest of the adolescents gathered. What &lt;b&gt;DID&lt;/b&gt; take Haien by surprise was how narrow the margin was between him and the other frontrunner behind him; Rino. While Haien had a clear advantage, Rino was close behind, and the two spent most of their free time together, spurring each other on in a friendly rivalry. Their instructor was quick to notice and encourage this friendship, often assigning them the same duties and responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Their ability to spur each other on allowed them to complete training early, and in fact, both Haien and Rino were made fully-fledged guards on the same sun, in the same ceremony -- a full six moons before the rest of the trainees.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Two moons later, the two were on a routine patrol when disaster struck. A giant plesiosaur of monstrous size emerged from the depths, attacking both Haien and Rino. The two fought fiercely with everything they had, but eventually Rino was critically injured. Spurred on by the desperation to save his friend, Haien finally managed to wound the creature, causing it to retreat into the depths from whence it came.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Although Haien rushed Rino back to the palace as quickly as he could, there was little that could be done, and Rino succumbed to his injuries soon after. Haien was devastated, and he fled the palace, swimming away in no particular direction, driven half mad by a combination of grief and shame.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Post-Shisui&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The next few suns were difficult for Haien, as he struggled with both his emotions and his basic needs for survival. He soon learned that his skill with a spear could be used not only for combat, but also for catching the fish he relied upon as his primary source of nourishment. Haien quickly lost track of the passage of time, his every waking moment focused on the refinement of his spearfishing techniques, or on busy work designed to keep his mind off recent events he couldn't quite deal with yet.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The longer he avoided the subject in waking bells, however, the worse his nightmares became. It didn't take long before he could barely close his eyes without seeing Rino's decaying corpse, which in turn drove away Haien's appetite. Starving and delirious from lack of sleep, Haien began to hallucinate. As he neared the brink of death, the hallucinations took the shape of his parents, scolding him for throwing away the inheritance, the &lt;i&gt;legacy&lt;/i&gt; they had trusted him with. He tried to turn away, only to run face first into Rino, who urged Haien to forgive himself; to move on and live a life they could both be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was this final hallucination that spurred Haien into gear. Despite how weak he had become, he managed to spear several fish, consuming them raw, for he had not the strength to do otherwise. That done, he slept, dreaming of his friends and family urging him to move forward once more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;This encouragement set him on a new path; to kill the giant plesiosaur and avenge Rino. He spent the next few years training further, pushing his every limit, both physically and mentally. Much of his time was spent on isolation, with occasional visits to the Blue Kojin of Tamamizu for trading purposes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, word traveled of an event that had been held in Isari, in which many giant plesiosaurs had been slain in the name of preserving a local variety of fish. Haien left for Isari immediately, hoping to gather tips and techniques to kill his own demon. Once there, he was horrified to find that the beast had already been slain; the scar he'd left years prior and its remarkable size left there no question that it was the same creature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A Return to Form&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Left without a purpose, Haien returned once more to isolation, until one day, by chance, he happened upon a young Raen child far outside the boundaries of Sui-no-Sato, who had become lost and disoriented. Haien helped the child back, though he stayed clear of the border himself, only getting the child far enough to ensure they would make it home safely.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Saving the child made Haien realize that, while he would not return to his old life, he could still honor his ancestors and lineage; he could serve as a guard, even if the Palace and Ruby Princess were no longer options. It was with this goal in mind he ventured to Kugane, where he spent his meager savings commissioning a set of uniforms similar to those he had worn as a guard, with a few changes to better fit his new life. Fortunately for Haien, bodyguard services were in high demand, and his skill in combat and dedication to his clients set him apart from the average mercenary adventurer.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Soon enough, Haien found himself nearly swimming with clients, however one in particular bid higher than the rest, hiring Haien on as a protector for an overseas voyage. The trip was mostly uneventful, though Haien found the ship's workings and crew fascinating, and did what he could to help out -- something his wealthy patron encouraged, as she enjoyed watching him work. By the time the ship reached the harbor of Limsa Lominsa, however, Haien had grown weary of his patron's advances, and the two came to the joint decision not to renew his contract.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Eorzea&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;A stranger in a new land, Haien shoved aside his discomfort to focus on the practicalities of his situation, quickly starting to establish contacts, spread word of his services, and generally market himself in any reasonable way he could.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> !

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little.

In his spare time he enjoys spearfishing and swimming, and in general prefers areas with water over those with none.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the strong side even for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. While on a job, his natural resting expression is a stern one; one cultivated to dissuade fights before they can start. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. His attire is vaguely reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear, though he has adopted the Eorzean custom of wearing pants, as the Kohakama he had worn previously garnered too much attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While on the job, Haien is cool and professional, detaching as best he can from any humanizing expressions and emotions, as he's learned that dissuading a fight is always more effective than having to win one. That said,<br /> should combat break out, he has a natural instinct for his spear, which over the years, has become nearly an extension of his own body.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;In his personal life, Haien is far less removed. He enjoys pretty much any contact with water, finding particular pleasure in locales in which he can swim -- especially the ocean, as it reminds him of the home he left so long ago.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Water&lt;/b&gt; Being submerged in water reminds him of the home he will likely never be able to return to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Preotecting people&lt;/b&gt; His life may not have led to being a palace guard as expected, but Haien still finds satisfaction in keeping others safe, considering it his duty and goal in life.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Unnecessary Bloodshed.&lt;/b&gt; While he's not hesitant to fight when needed, any conflict that can be resolved peacefully is preferable to Haien.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bad thing.&lt;/b&gt; why he dislikes it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien grew up with the spear, training for the majority of his life to reach peak combat performance. Add on to this his strength and his instinct for battle and it can be easy to see how he would excel in such matters.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Attractive&lt;/b&gt; Though he doesn't intentionally cultivate good looks, a side result of his training is that he's physically fit, and genetics have provided him with an extra boost on top of that.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dedication to protection&lt;/b&gt; In some ways a strength, this can also be a major weakness for Haien, as he won't hesitate to use himself as a shield for those he's protecting, even if such a thing will prove harmful to his own person.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ranged Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien has never varied from the spear, and as such, any opponent quick enough to keep out of his range will find that Haien has few answers from a distance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Difficulty switching between work and play&lt;/b&gt; Haien has a very different mindset when he's on the job compared to off it, and so if he's forced into a leisure or social situation immediately after a job (or worse, during one) it can be very difficult for him to actually relax and be reasonably social.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Childhood and Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;From a young age, Haien was proud to be the product of a long line of guards. Like many other children of guards, he spent his formative years preparing for his eventual life as a guard -- something he was proud to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When he was finally old enough to undertake the formal training, it surprised no one that he was the strongest and fastest of the adolescents gathered. What &lt;b&gt;DID&lt;/b&gt; take Haien by surprise was how narrow the margin was between him and the other frontrunner behind him; Rino. While Haien had a clear advantage, Rino was close behind, and the two spent most of their free time together, spurring each other on in a friendly rivalry. Their instructor was quick to notice and encourage this friendship, often assigning them the same duties and responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Their ability to spur each other on allowed them to complete training early, and in fact, both Haien and Rino were made fully-fledged guards on the same sun, in the same ceremony -- a full six moons before the rest of the trainees.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Two moons later, the two were on a routine patrol when disaster struck. A giant plesiosaur of monstrous size emerged from the depths, attacking both Haien and Rino. The two fought fiercely with everything they had, but eventually Rino was critically injured. Spurred on by the desperation to save his friend, Haien finally managed to wound the creature, causing it to retreat into the depths from whence it came.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Although Haien rushed Rino back to the palace as quickly as he could, there was little that could be done, and Rino succumbed to his injuries soon after. Haien was devastated, and he fled the palace, swimming away in no particular direction, driven half mad by a combination of grief and shame.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Post-Shisui&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The next few suns were difficult for Haien, as he struggled with both his emotions and his basic needs for survival. He soon learned that his skill with a spear could be used not only for combat, but also for catching the fish he relied upon as his primary source of nourishment. Haien quickly lost track of the passage of time, his every waking moment focused on the refinement of his spearfishing techniques, or on busy work designed to keep his mind off recent events he couldn't quite deal with yet.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The longer he avoided the subject in waking bells, however, the worse his nightmares became. It didn't take long before he could barely close his eyes without seeing Rino's decaying corpse, which in turn drove away Haien's appetite. Starving and delirious from lack of sleep, Haien began to hallucinate. As he neared the brink of death, the hallucinations took the shape of his parents, scolding him for throwing away the inheritance, the &lt;i&gt;legacy&lt;/i&gt; they had trusted him with. He tried to turn away, only to run face first into Rino, who urged Haien to forgive himself; to move on and live a life they could both be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was this final hallucination that spurred Haien into gear. Despite how weak he had become, he managed to spear several fish, consuming them raw, for he had not the strength to do otherwise. That done, he slept, dreaming of his friends and family urging him to move forward once more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;This encouragement set him on a new path; to kill the giant plesiosaur and avenge Rino. He spent the next few years training further, pushing his every limit, both physically and mentally. Much of his time was spent on isolation, with occasional visits to the Blue Kojin of Tamamizu for trading purposes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, word traveled of an event that had been held in Isari, in which many giant plesiosaurs had been slain in the name of preserving a local variety of fish. Haien left for Isari immediately, hoping to gather tips and techniques to kill his own demon. Once there, he was horrified to find that the beast had already been slain; the scar he'd left years prior and its remarkable size left there no question that it was the same creature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A Return to Form&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Left without a purpose, Haien returned once more to isolation, until one day, by chance, he happened upon a young Raen child far outside the boundaries of Sui-no-Sato, who had become lost and disoriented. Haien helped the child back, though he stayed clear of the border himself, only getting the child far enough to ensure they would make it home safely.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Saving the child made Haien realize that, while he would not return to his old life, he could still honor his ancestors and lineage; he could serve as a guard, even if the Palace and Ruby Princess were no longer options. It was with this goal in mind he ventured to Kugane, where he spent his meager savings commissioning a set of uniforms similar to those he had worn as a guard, with a few changes to better fit his new life. Fortunately for Haien, bodyguard services were in high demand, and his skill in combat and dedication to his clients set him apart from the average mercenary adventurer.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Soon enough, Haien found himself nearly swimming with clients, however one in particular bid higher than the rest, hiring Haien on as a protector for an overseas voyage. The trip was mostly uneventful, though Haien found the ship's workings and crew fascinating, and did what he could to help out -- something his wealthy patron encouraged, as she enjoyed watching him work. By the time the ship reached the harbor of Limsa Lominsa, however, Haien had grown weary of his patron's advances, and the two came to the joint decision not to renew his contract.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Eorzea&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;A stranger in a new land, Haien shoved aside his discomfort to focus on the practicalities of his situation, quickly starting to establish contacts, spread word of his services, and generally market himself in any reasonable way he could.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> !

He is generally known to do so for little to no pay, depending on the need of his client and how badly in need of help they are.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wilds Man:&lt;/b&gt; Not to be confused with ‘wild man’ which he certainly is not, Haien tends to be comfortable in most wilderness environments – particularly the deserts of Thanalan. He’s significantly less comfortable in the cold climates of Coerthas.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quietness:&lt;/b&gt; In large groups, sometimes Haien makes as much of an impression by conspicuously &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/I&gt; being as lively as the average person.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Armor, or lack thereof:&lt;/b&gt; Haien frequently receives comments on his particular choice of armor. It’s also led to a few misunderstandings, though he’s usually quick to head those people off.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =OOC Notes=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ABOUT THE PLAYER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;I am a mid-20’s man living with his cat in the mid-western United States on a sleep schedule that only some sort of crazed psychic would be able to predict. I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

In his spare time he enjoys spearfishing and swimming, and in general prefers areas with water over those with none.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the strong side even for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. While on a job, his natural resting expression is a stern one; one cultivated to dissuade fights before they can start. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. His attire is vaguely reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear, though he has adopted the Eorzean custom of wearing pants, as the Kohakama he had worn previously garnered too much attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While on the job, Haien is cool and professional, detaching as best he can from any humanizing expressions and emotions, as he's learned that dissuading a fight is always more effective than having to win one. That said,<br /> should combat break out, he has a natural instinct for his spear, which over the years, has become nearly an extension of his own body.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;In his personal life, Haien is far less removed. He enjoys pretty much any contact with water, finding particular pleasure in locales in which he can swim -- especially the ocean, as it reminds him of the home he left so long ago.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Water&lt;/b&gt; Being submerged in water reminds him of the home he will likely never be able to return to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Protecting people&lt;/b&gt; His life may not have led to being a palace guard as expected, but Haien still finds satisfaction in keeping others safe, considering it his duty and goal in life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Unnecessary Bloodshed.&lt;/b&gt; While he's not hesitant to fight when needed, any conflict that can be resolved peacefully is preferable to Haien.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bad thing.&lt;/b&gt; why he dislikes it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien grew up with the spear, training for the majority of his life to reach peak combat performance. Add on to this his strength and his instinct for battle and it can be easy to see how he would excel in such matters.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Attractive&lt;/b&gt; Though he doesn't intentionally cultivate good looks, a side result of his training is that he's physically fit, and genetics have provided him with an extra boost on top of that.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dedication to protection&lt;/b&gt; In some ways a strength, this can also be a major weakness for Haien, as he won't hesitate to use himself as a shield for those he's protecting, even if such a thing will prove harmful to his own person.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ranged Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien has never varied from the spear, and as such, any opponent quick enough to keep out of his range will find that Haien has few answers from a distance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Difficulty switching between work and play&lt;/b&gt; Haien has a very different mindset when he's on the job compared to off it, and so if he's forced into a leisure or social situation immediately after a job (or worse, during one) it can be very difficult for him to actually relax and be reasonably social.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Childhood and Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;From a young age, Haien was proud to be the product of a long line of guards. Like many other children of guards, he spent his formative years preparing for his eventual life as a guard -- something he was proud to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When he was finally old enough to undertake the formal training, it surprised no one that he was the strongest and fastest of the adolescents gathered. What &lt;b&gt;DID&lt;/b&gt; take Haien by surprise was how narrow the margin was between him and the other frontrunner behind him; Rino. While Haien had a clear advantage, Rino was close behind, and the two spent most of their free time together, spurring each other on in a friendly rivalry. Their instructor was quick to notice and encourage this friendship, often assigning them the same duties and responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Their ability to spur each other on allowed them to complete training early, and in fact, both Haien and Rino were made fully-fledged guards on the same sun, in the same ceremony -- a full six moons before the rest of the trainees.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Two moons later, the two were on a routine patrol when disaster struck. A giant plesiosaur of monstrous size emerged from the depths, attacking both Haien and Rino. The two fought fiercely with everything they had, but eventually Rino was critically injured. Spurred on by the desperation to save his friend, Haien finally managed to wound the creature, causing it to retreat into the depths from whence it came.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Although Haien rushed Rino back to the palace as quickly as he could, there was little that could be done, and Rino succumbed to his injuries soon after. Haien was devastated, and he fled the palace, swimming away in no particular direction, driven half mad by a combination of grief and shame.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Post-Shisui&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The next few suns were difficult for Haien, as he struggled with both his emotions and his basic needs for survival. He soon learned that his skill with a spear could be used not only for combat, but also for catching the fish he relied upon as his primary source of nourishment. Haien quickly lost track of the passage of time, his every waking moment focused on the refinement of his spearfishing techniques, or on busy work designed to keep his mind off recent events he couldn't quite deal with yet.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The longer he avoided the subject in waking bells, however, the worse his nightmares became. It didn't take long before he could barely close his eyes without seeing Rino's decaying corpse, which in turn drove away Haien's appetite. Starving and delirious from lack of sleep, Haien began to hallucinate. As he neared the brink of death, the hallucinations took the shape of his parents, scolding him for throwing away the inheritance, the &lt;i&gt;legacy&lt;/i&gt; they had trusted him with. He tried to turn away, only to run face first into Rino, who urged Haien to forgive himself; to move on and live a life they could both be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was this final hallucination that spurred Haien into gear. Despite how weak he had become, he managed to spear several fish, consuming them raw, for he had not the strength to do otherwise. That done, he slept, dreaming of his friends and family urging him to move forward once more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;This encouragement set him on a new path; to kill the giant plesiosaur and avenge Rino. He spent the next few years training further, pushing his every limit, both physically and mentally. Much of his time was spent on isolation, with occasional visits to the Blue Kojin of Tamamizu for trading purposes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, word traveled of an event that had been held in Isari, in which many giant plesiosaurs had been slain in the name of preserving a local variety of fish. Haien left for Isari immediately, hoping to gather tips and techniques to kill his own demon. Once there, he was horrified to find that the beast had already been slain; the scar he'd left years prior and its remarkable size left there no question that it was the same creature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A Return to Form&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Left without a purpose, Haien returned once more to isolation, until one day, by chance, he happened upon a young Raen child far outside the boundaries of Sui-no-Sato, who had become lost and disoriented. Haien helped the child back, though he stayed clear of the border himself, only getting the child far enough to ensure they would make it home safely.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Saving the child made Haien realize that, while he would not return to his old life, he could still honor his ancestors and lineage; he could serve as a guard, even if the Palace and Ruby Princess were no longer options. It was with this goal in mind he ventured to Kugane, where he spent his meager savings commissioning a set of uniforms similar to those he had worn as a guard, with a few changes to better fit his new life. Fortunately for Haien, bodyguard services were in high demand, and his skill in combat and dedication to his clients set him apart from the average mercenary adventurer.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Soon enough, Haien found himself nearly swimming with clients, however one in particular bid higher than the rest, hiring Haien on as a protector for an overseas voyage. The trip was mostly uneventful, though Haien found the ship's workings and crew fascinating, and did what he could to help out -- something his wealthy patron encouraged, as she enjoyed watching him work. By the time the ship reached the harbor of Limsa Lominsa, however, Haien had grown weary of his patron's advances, and the two came to the joint decision not to renew his contract.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Eorzea&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;A stranger in a new land, Haien shoved aside his discomfort to focus on the practicalities of his situation, quickly starting to establish contacts, spread word of his services, and generally market himself in any reasonable way he could.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> !

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

In his spare time he enjoys spearfishing and swimming, and in general prefers areas with water over those with none.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the strong side even for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. While on a job, his natural resting expression is a stern one; one cultivated to dissuade fights before they can start. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. His attire is vaguely reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear, though he has adopted the Eorzean custom of wearing pants, as the Kohakama he had worn previously garnered too much attention.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;While on the job, Haien is cool and professional, detaching as best he can from any humanizing expressions and emotions, as he's learned that dissuading a fight is always more effective than having to win one. That said,<br /> should combat break out, he has a natural instinct for his spear, which over the years, has become nearly an extension of his own body.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;In his personal life, Haien is far less removed. He enjoys pretty much any contact with water, finding particular pleasure in locales in which he can swim -- especially the ocean, as it reminds him of the home he left so long ago.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Water&lt;/b&gt; Being submerged in water reminds him of the home he will likely never be able to return to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Preotecting people&lt;/b&gt; His life may not have led to being a palace guard as expected, but Haien still finds satisfaction in keeping others safe, considering it his duty and goal in life.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Unnecessary Bloodshed.&lt;/b&gt; While he's not hesitant to fight when needed, any conflict that can be resolved peacefully is preferable to Haien.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bad thing.&lt;/b&gt; why he dislikes it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien grew up with the spear, training for the majority of his life to reach peak combat performance. Add on to this his strength and his instinct for battle and it can be easy to see how he would excel in such matters.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Attractive&lt;/b&gt; Though he doesn't intentionally cultivate good looks, a side result of his training is that he's physically fit, and genetics have provided him with an extra boost on top of that.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dedication to protection&lt;/b&gt; In some ways a strength, this can also be a major weakness for Haien, as he won't hesitate to use himself as a shield for those he's protecting, even if such a thing will prove harmful to his own person.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ranged Combat.&lt;/b&gt; Haien has never varied from the spear, and as such, any opponent quick enough to keep out of his range will find that Haien has few answers from a distance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Difficulty switching between work and play&lt;/b&gt; Haien has a very different mindset when he's on the job compared to off it, and so if he's forced into a leisure or social situation immediately after a job (or worse, during one) it can be very difficult for him to actually relax and be reasonably social.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Childhood and Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;From a young age, Haien was proud to be the product of a long line of guards. Like many other children of guards, he spent his formative years preparing for his eventual life as a guard -- something he was proud to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;When he was finally old enough to undertake the formal training, it surprised no one that he was the strongest and fastest of the adolescents gathered. What &lt;b&gt;DID&lt;/b&gt; take Haien by surprise was how narrow the margin was between him and the other frontrunner behind him; Rino. While Haien had a clear advantage, Rino was close behind, and the two spent most of their free time together, spurring each other on in a friendly rivalry. Their instructor was quick to notice and encourage this friendship, often assigning them the same duties and responsibilities.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Their ability to spur each other on allowed them to complete training early, and in fact, both Haien and Rino were made fully-fledged guards on the same sun, in the same ceremony -- a full six moons before the rest of the trainees.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Two moons later, the two were on a routine patrol when disaster struck. A giant plesiosaur of monstrous size emerged from the depths, attacking both Haien and Rino. The two fought fiercely with everything they had, but eventually Rino was critically injured. Spurred on by the desperation to save his friend, Haien finally managed to wound the creature, causing it to retreat into the depths from whence it came.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Although Haien rushed Rino back to the palace as quickly as he could, there was little that could be done, and Rino succumbed to his injuries soon after. Haien was devastated, and he fled the palace, swimming away in no particular direction, driven half mad by a combination of grief and shame.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Post-Shisui&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The next few suns were difficult for Haien, as he struggled with both his emotions and his basic needs for survival. He soon learned that his skill with a spear could be used not only for combat, but also for catching the fish he relied upon as his primary source of nourishment. Haien quickly lost track of the passage of time, his every waking moment focused on the refinement of his spearfishing techniques, or on busy work designed to keep his mind off recent events he couldn't quite deal with yet.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The longer he avoided the subject in waking bells, however, the worse his nightmares became. It didn't take long before he could barely close his eyes without seeing Rino's decaying corpse, which in turn drove away Haien's appetite. Starving and delirious from lack of sleep, Haien began to hallucinate. As he neared the brink of death, the hallucinations took the shape of his parents, scolding him for throwing away the inheritance, the &lt;i&gt;legacy&lt;/i&gt; they had trusted him with. He tried to turn away, only to run face first into Rino, who urged Haien to forgive himself; to move on and live a life they could both be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was this final hallucination that spurred Haien into gear. Despite how weak he had become, he managed to spear several fish, consuming them raw, for he had not the strength to do otherwise. That done, he slept, dreaming of his friends and family urging him to move forward once more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;This encouragement set him on a new path; to kill the giant plesiosaur and avenge Rino. He spent the next few years training further, pushing his every limit, both physically and mentally. Much of his time was spent on isolation, with occasional visits to the Blue Kojin of Tamamizu for trading purposes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, word traveled of an event that had been held in Isari, in which many giant plesiosaurs had been slain in the name of preserving a local variety of fish. Haien left for Isari immediately, hoping to gather tips and techniques to kill his own demon. Once there, he was horrified to find that the beast had already been slain; the scar he'd left years prior and its remarkable size left there no question that it was the same creature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;A Return to Form&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Left without a purpose, Haien returned once more to isolation, until one day, by chance, he happened upon a young Raen child far outside the boundaries of Sui-no-Sato, who had become lost and disoriented. Haien helped the child back, though he stayed clear of the border himself, only getting the child far enough to ensure they would make it home safely.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Saving the child made Haien realize that, while he would not return to his old life, he could still honor his ancestors and lineage; he could serve as a guard, even if the Palace and Ruby Princess were no longer options. It was with this goal in mind he ventured to Kugane, where he spent his meager savings commissioning a set of uniforms similar to those he had worn as a guard, with a few changes to better fit his new life. Fortunately for Haien, bodyguard services were in high demand, and his skill in combat and dedication to his clients set him apart from the average mercenary adventurer.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Soon enough, Haien found himself nearly swimming with clients, however one in particular bid higher than the rest, hiring Haien on as a protector for an overseas voyage. The trip was mostly uneventful, though Haien found the ship's workings and crew fascinating, and did what he could to help out -- something his wealthy patron encouraged, as she enjoyed watching him work. By the time the ship reached the harbor of Limsa Lominsa, however, Haien had grown weary of his patron's advances, and the two came to the joint decision not to renew his contract.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Eorzea&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;A stranger in a new land, Haien shoved aside his discomfort to focus on the practicalities of his situation, quickly starting to establish contacts, spread word of his services, and generally market himself in any reasonable way he could.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> !

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. His natural resting expression is a stern one, frequently causing people who don't know him to believe that he is permanently angry. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. He can frequently be found wearing clothes reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go.

If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. His natural resting expression is a stern one, frequently causing people who don't know him to believe that he is permanently angry. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. He can frequently be found wearing clothes reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves.

He's a very quiet man for the most part, preferring to keep his own counsel even amongst friends.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the lean side for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. His natural resting expression is a stern one, frequently causing people who don't know him to believe that he is permanently angry. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. He can frequently be found wearing clothes reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

He's a very quiet man for the most part, preferring to keep his own counsel even amongst friends.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the lean side for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. His natural resting expression is a stern one, frequently causing people who don't know him to believe that he is permanently angry. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. Though he has been convinced to start wearing real clothing, he still tends to wear lighter, looser outfits, usually in dark or neutral colours.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien is quiet and solemn most of the time, particularly in large groups. While in the theatre troupe, the leader was a man who spoke loudly and often without really saying anything at all, and it rubbed Haien the wrong way. He started speaking less and less, and found that he could learn more through being quiet and observing than by filling the air with meaningless chatter. His penchant for observation and focus proved particularly useful when part of the Conjurer's Guild, even if he lacked the natural gift to truly succeed. That said, he's not all silence all the time. He recognizes that, while he's quite content to sit in silence, most people aren't him. When in a 1-on-1 setting, he makes an effort to be as social as he can. He's not great at it, and often comes off as awkward, but he does try to avoid actively making people uncomfortable.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien is not without personality, though some might be led to believe that since his emotions are often presented in a subtle manner. His friends have learned that a chuckle from him is the equivalent of a roaring, gut-splitting laugh from most any other man. A wink and a nudge is practically a proposition. A smile is the equivalent of an ear-to-ear grin. Those who can read body language well often find it more comfortable to spend time with Haien than those that do not.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;At one time, Haien exhibited very self-destructive behaviour, and had a tendency to blame himself for events in his life that weren't his own fault. Over the last year and a half, he's slowly recovered from this, and nowadays has a much more healthy mindset.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Space.&lt;/b&gt; His friends tend to be the people who understand he sometimes just needs to be alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Helping People.&lt;/b&gt; It’s always a temporary fix, but helping people is a band-aid to atone for those he feels he has wronged.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Being out in nature.&lt;/b&gt; Very little is as calming, and next to nothing offers him the serenity that gathering herbs in the wilderness does.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;His farm.&lt;/b&gt; Haien takes a lot of pride in his work and the produce produced by the Cooper farm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loudmouths.&lt;/b&gt; People who talk too much while saying very little are one of Haien’s biggest pet peeves.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loud, crowded environments&lt;/b&gt; It’s not a severe dislike, and he’s certainly been known to spend his fair share of time in cities, but when practical, he tends to avoid extended periods of time spent in crowded markets and the like.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Botany.&lt;/b&gt; Need an expensive herb for a good reason, but unable to afford market price? Need an ingredient for a poison that grows in exactly one place in the world and only under certain conditions? Need a strong lumber to build a lasting home with? Haien is your man for any of this and more.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Willingness to help strangers.&lt;/b&gt; Though it may not be for the ideal reasons, Haien goes out of his way to help people when possible, as he views it as a form of atonement for his past failings.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loyalty.&lt;/b&gt; Both a strength and a weakness, Haien is &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; loyal to his friends, and there are very few obstacles he couldn't overcome if a friend was in need.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;WEAKNESSES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;WEAKNESSES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loyalty.&lt;/b&gt; Both a strength and a weakness, Haien is &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; loyal to his friends, leaving him open to exploitation were someone to feel so inclined.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Introversion.&lt;/b&gt; Haien frequently doesn't know the right thing to do/say in social situations, as they're far from his preferred environment. This has improved some due to training from Gwendolyn Cooper, but is still far from ideal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien was born under another name that he has long distanced himself from. His parents were refugees to Ala Mhigo, and lived in an impoverished farming town that was barely able to make ends meet. As a baby and on into his early childhood, resources were tight. There was never enough food to go around, and he was often hungry. His parents were clearly miserable -- as was a fair portion of his village. It wasn't a happy life, and everyone around him worked hard for very little results. He became fast friends with a Miqo'te girl named S'hozqha Batih who lived in his village, and the two were nearly inseparable.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Then one day around Haien's fifth nameday, a theatre troupe came through on their travels. They put on show after show, and Haien had never seen the villagers happier. There was actual &lt;i&gt;merriment&lt;/i&gt; on faces he had thought permanently scored with frown lines and weary eyes. It was inspiring, and it came as little wonder that when they left town the next day, S'hozqha went with them, leaving Haien little choice but to follow suit. The young Miqo’te girl quickly found her talent as actress, while Haien preferred to avoid the limelight and work as an extra. He learned to move props and set pieces around unseen, and quickly found he was quite good at it.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Gridania, the Conjurer’s Guild, and the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Almost twelve years later, the troupe found themselves in Eorzea, specifically in Gridania. Their stay there lasted several days, but once more S'hozqha decided a change was needed, and joined the Archer's Guild there. Never one to deny his friend anything, particularly given his budding crush on her, Haien stayed around as well, though he chose to join the Conjurer's Guild instead of picking up the bow.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Sadly, Haien was far from gifted in the way of conjury. His patience and dedication brought him some minor results, but for the amount of work he put into it, he had very little to show in the way of progress. S'hozqha was the opposite. She took to archery like a fish to water, and soon found herself wanting for challenging targets.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;One day, she chanced to hear a rumour about monster in the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak, and decided that a strong adventurer like herself was what was needed to put them down. She managed to convince Haien to join her, despite his protest and begging that she not try it, and they set off the next day.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;As he had feared, it went badly; worse even than he could possibly have imagined. They were surrounded and overwhelmed by monsters, and their only option was to flee. In the process, S'hozqha was seriously injured. The wound was far too severe for Haien to heal, but she was far too dear to him to just give up on. He poured all his energy into trying to heal her, and the last thing he saw was her faint, weary smile before he collapsed on top of her.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Ul’dah and the beginning of Adventuring &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, he awoke atop her corpse. Distraught, he wandered aimlessly for days, wasting away. Eventually, he wound up in the desert sands nearly Ul'dah, where he finally collapsed from a mix of exhaustion, starvation, and dehydration. A wandering thief mistook him for dead and tried to check him for valuables, but panicked and ran away when he proved slightly more alive than they had hoped. Their surprised shriek drew an adventurer's attention, and they brought him to the Quicksand, where Momodi slowly nursed him back to health.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;The first time he regained consciousness, he seemed confused at first, but when his eyes fell on the sight of his conjurer's garb in the corner of his room, freshly cleaned and repaired, he fell apart. Despite his still weakened state, he started screaming, sobbing, and clawing at his skin, and Momodi had to call for him to be physically restrained before he could seriously hurt himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;The next time he came to, it was to a very guarded-looking Momodi, with none of his previous gear in sight. He was informed that he was found wandering in the desert, and (politely) questioned as to his name.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;It was here that he took the name Haien Okeya, chosen based on a minor character in the only story his mother had told him as a child. It was obvious he was lying and avoiding explaining where he had come from, but Momodi accepted it, presumably because she felt he wasn't doing so out of malice. Once he had fully recovered, he started helping her out by doing odd jobs around the Quicksand -- helping deliver goods, prepare food, clean rooms, or just about anything else she asked for, but there was a disconcerting lifelessness to him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt; One day, a party of adventurers came through the Quicksand, and Haien was tasked with helping nurse one of them back to health. The very next day, he came to Momodi and asked her permission to become an adventurer. Pleasantly surprised by his seemingly renewed interest in life, she agreed. She tried to start him off at the local Thaumaturgist's Guild, but he flat-out refused to walk in to a place of magic, as he claimed it was not for him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;They tried the Pugilist's Guild, and he took to it well. He was fast and nimble, and while he may not have been the strongest hitter, his punches were powerful enough to count, and aimed well to bring down his opponents. Another benefit of Pugilist over Thaumaturgist in Haien's mind was that it meant he had to always be near his enemies, and if he came home with a few bruises and scrapes each day, it was merely expected of someone who had to get up close and personal with those trying to kill him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;As the months went on, cuts and scrapes weren't enough for Haien. He started wearing lighter and lighter armor, frequently quoting the famous Pugilist Hamon Holyfist, who said that wearing less armor allowed them to move more freely. The true reason, of course, was not nearly so clean. Haien felt guilty over S'hozqha's death, and every injury or near death escape was what he felt he deserved. The more punishment, the better, in his eyes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Momodi watched as he continued down a path of self-destruction, unsure of what she could do. That is, she watched until the day Haien went out to take down a band of bandits single-handedly, without anything but the barest covering of armor. When he limped back victorious, but with three broken ribs, his tail dislocated, a deep gash on his forehead, and his right wrist shattered nearly beyond healing, she came up with an idea born as much out of desperation as anything else.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Limsa Lominsa and the Dutiful Sisters &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;As soon as he had recovered, Momodi sent him to deliver a sealed letter from her to the Dutiful Sisters in Limsa Lominsa. Ever feeling in her debt, Haien obliged, and it was there that he met Jacke.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;He was instantly taken by the Hyur with the strange mannerisms, and when Jacke offered him a place in the Rogue's Guild (probably largely due to Momodi vouching for his natural fit), he could do nothing but accept. Over the next year, he learned the rogue's craft and helped them apprehend various breakers of the Code. All his childhood training in being unseen paid off, as he discovered he was exceptionally skilled in the art of stealth, despite his towering stature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;It was during this time that he first met others of his kind. During his Rogue's training, he also trained under several Doman ninjas, learning their arts. Frequently he received questions from the more curious Au Ra -- who was this strange Raen with Eorzean mannerisms and customs, and what was his story? Haien learned quickly how to answer without answering, giving just enough substance to satisfy without revealing anything important. He spoke of how he had lived here as a child, grown up as a farmer, though his parents weren't part of the picture. To the family-oriented Domans, this often painted a picture of some familial tragedy -- a line of thinking Haien was not inclined to correct, as it often stopped the curiosity.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Eventually, his time with the Guild was over. He had learned the tricks of their trade, but more importantly, helping keep the Code intact had provided a form of atonement for Haien. He returned to Ul'dah not a completely healed man, but certainly not the broken shell of an Au Ra that had left a year prior.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Post Limsa &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;His time at the Sisters taught him much about herbs, both poisonous and medicinal, and he discovered he also had a knack for collecting them. Whereas many of the other rogues would grow bored doing what they considered a menial job, he enjoyed collecting the plants the Guild needed for its operations.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;When he came back to Ul'dah, he sought out tomes of knowledge on plant life, choosing to become a botanist. He still does normal adventurer work from time to time if there's a job that particularly interests him, but largely, he minds his own business and maintains a steady group of regular customers who frequently attest for the quality and fair prices he offers.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Lion Order &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Recently, Haien's friend Teddy persuaded him to join the free company he was a part of, Lion Order. One day, a chance discussion about summoning led him further on the path of depression. According to Aetheria and Teddy, it was possible to overcome one's aetherial limits (at cost to one's own health and well-being), and to accomplish magical feats one normally couldn't. He excused himself quickly, but it left him shattered once more. Could he really have saved S'hozqha if he had just known a little bit more, or been a little bit stronger?&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien would never return to Lion Order after that day. Though he was welcomed with open arms and made a few friends, notably Aetheria Crescent, he never really felt like he fit in, and after that conversation, it would be some time before he faced even his closest friends again, never mind the free company he never truly felt he belonged in.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Spiraling Downwards &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Thrust once more into a vicious cycle of regret, self-loathing, and self-destructive tendencies, he sought fights in various bars most nights. He hunted creatures far tougher than he could handle. He willingly ventured to the edges of Coerthas for herbs in little clothing, despite the temperature. He was a mess. One night at the Drowned Wench, he stumbled into Kahn'a Ohditra, and their conversation left him reeling and more impulsive than ever. Later that night, he picked a fight that went sour when the pirates pulled swords and firearms on him, and he barely managed to fight them off, leaving him with several broken ribs, bruises all across his entire body, a sprained tail, minor internal bleeding, and various other injuries and ailments. As he was recovering from the beating in a back-alley of Limsa, Kahn'a ran across him again, and the resulting conversation, combined with his injuries, gave him some much-needed perspective.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; The Path to Recovery &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Several days later, after most of the worst of his wounds and bruising had healed, Haien was back to drinking again. This time, however, he encountered J'saato Tia, and in doing so, was distracted from his intentions to fight the night away. The two ventured to Camp Bronze Lake, J'saato for healing in the hot springs located there, and Haien for the healing herb Menphina's Locks which grew nearby. The two talked several times over the next few days, and eventually J'saato gave Haien some friendly advice. The two parted ways once J'saato had healed, with Haien headed back to the deserts of Thanalan to collect herbs as a pretense, when he truly just needed to be alone and think.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately for him, fate had other ideas in mind. While staying for several days in Camp Drybone, he ran into Tyo'to Kaatapoh, an irritating, gossip-loving, braggart, and was roped into a dagger-throwing contest to try and wipe the smirk off the Miqo'te's face. It quickly became apparent that the two were evenly matched, and Tyo'to brought Haien to see a merchant who was offered a grand reward for the return of his stolen goods. Haien begrudgingly accepted the quest -- he was glad to help, but reluctant to spend more time than absolutely necessary with the chatty Tyo'to. The two made it to the missing caravan after a few days' travel, only to discover it was a trap, with an encampment of slavers ambushing them. They managed to fight their way out and escape, but Tyo'to was gravely wounded.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;In an act of desperation, not wanting history to repeat itself, Haien brought Tyo'to to the edges of the South Shroud, where he called on the elements to save Tyo'to's life. To Haien's great surprise, it worked, and while Tyo'to was far from healthy, Haien had managed to heal him enough through Conjury that his knowledge of herbs and practical medicine could bring him the rest of the way back to health. They spent several days in the wilds while Tyo'to recovered, having several long conversations about their motivations, their pasts, and perhaps most importantly in the long run, why Tyo'to continued to adventure even at risk of death. By the time they parted, something inside Haien had begun to heal. It would be a long road, but it seemed possible he might be on his way to recovery.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; A Saint of a Farmer &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some months later, Haien had developed a habit of selling the various herbs and spices he had collected in a small, weekly market on the outskirts of the Black Shroud. Despite taking place in a town with more market-time visitors than actual residents, it was a surprisingly organized affair, and Haien found himself assigned to a particular booth in the market, rather than free to choose his own location. Fortunately for him, the man who ran the booth beside his was an old midlander who seemed similarly inclined toward silence, and so the two men quickly found each others' presences tolerable enough. In truth, Haien quickly came to like the old man, particularly considering, unlike many people of that age, he never sensed any judgment for his attire or his near silence.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After several months of peaceful coexistance, though, the old man failed to show up one week, being replaced by a boisterous woman who seemed to think she would fall off the face of Eorzea should she ever stop talking. Eager to get rid of her, Haien approached the market's organizers and soon learned that the old man's name was Rothe Cooper, and that he'd failed to file the necessary paperwork that week, and that no one had heard from him since the week prior. Deciding that peace and quiet was well worth involving himself in the affairs of others without being asked, Haien made note of where Rothe's farm was located and decided to pay him a visit.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As it turned out, Rothe's farm was suffering from rodent problems, and Rothe himself was no longer spry enough to solve the problem himself. Haien, on the other hand, proved quite capable of ending the pesky menaces' reign of terror on the Cooper farm, and for his trouble, was hired on as permanent help, since farming was getting more and more taxing on Rothe each day. Over the following months, Haien and Rothe slowly got to know each other, learning each others' histories as they toiled together on the Cooper farm. Though normally tight-lipped about his past, Haien slowly found himself opening up to the man more and more, sharing his story bit by bit as Rothe shared his. Without realizing it, Haien began to regard the man almost as a father, and for his part, Rothe quickly came to see Haien as the son he'd never had. With Rothe's guiding hand and wise advice, the wounds that had festered since S'hozqha's death truly began to heal.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was just as Haien was truly feeling better that old age caught up with Rothe fully, and the man fell deeply ill. Knowing his time had come, and that if Haien stayed, he would likely blame himself for his inability to keep him alive, Rothe gave Haien one final task; to track down his four daughters and provide them news of his passing, as well as what little material wealth he had for them. Haien tried to refuse, but Rothe's insistence won out, and so Haien said his farewells for the last time, setting out on a serach that would take him across Eorzea over the next six months.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The first daughter, Arlette, was easy to find, as she was still living in the Black Shroud, on a farm with her husband and their children. Haien passed along the message and Rothe's package to her, urging her to try and see her old man one last time before the end, then set out to find the second daughter.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The second daughter, Verona, was more difficult to find, and it took him over a month of searching to pick up her trail. He eventually caught up with her and her wife living on the outskirts of the Dravanian Forelands, working with the wild chocobos there. He stayed with them for a time as their guest, before following a lead he'd picked up on the third sister.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After a great deal of hunting and searching, and many dead ends, Haien found Gwendolyn in Wineport, owner of a well-off vineyard. He didn't stay long, however, as she had recently heard from the youngest of Rothe's daughters, Elvina, who had claimed she was joining the Ala Mhigan resistance fighters under the enigmatic Griffin. By the time Haien managed to find Elvina, it was too late, and she had perished in the fight for Baelsar's Wall. Haien took it upon himself to provide a proper service for her, then returned with the news to the other three sisters, briefly all in one place at the Cooper farm. None of the three had any intentions of keeping the estate Rothe had left for them, as all had their own lives elsewhere, and eventually came to the decision to leave it to Haien, as he had clearly become one of the family by that time.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he missed Rothe dearly, Haien was determined to make the most of the farm that was the old man's legacy, and quickly settled back into the farming life, making the most of the second chance at life that so few received. Gwendolyn stayed for some months, helping Haien learn the ins and outs of managing a farm, as well as, in her words, &quot;bringing some civilization into [his] life.&quot; It was Gwendolyn that finally taught fully how to read, as well as impressed the need for real clothing on him -- and actually got that lesson to &lt;i&gt;stick&lt;/i&gt;. By the time she'd left, the two had grown very close, each considering the other a true sibling.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sekka Shibunuri,&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;mother&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;I hope life is treating you well, wherever you and Father are.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sekka Shibunuri led a peaceful life in the underwater village of Sui-no-Sato for many years, eventually marrying her childhood sweetheart, Keiho. Not long after the ceremony, a refugee and his family visited Sui-no-Sato seeking aid, only to be turned away by the Ruby Princess. Keiho attempted to supply the family with aid in secret, but was discovered and exiled. Though Sekka's family urged her to forget her husband, she could not turn her back on him, choosing instead fo follow him into exile, rather than lose him forever.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The two fled to Kurogane, where Sekka soon realized she was pregnant. With renewed motivation, she and Keiho sought passage across the seas once it became clear that there was nothing for them in Hingashi. At Sekka's request, they settled far from the sea in the deserts of Ala Mhigo, far from the sights and sounds that brought back painful memories of the family Sekka had left behind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Sooner than she and Keiho were prepared for, Sekka delivered a baby boy who she named after her father, Kazan. Sooner than she would have liked, she was forced to return to work on the family's tiny ranch, strapping Kazan into a basket on her back so that she might keep an eye on him even while she had to work. Every night, after the sun had gone down,<br /> she would tell Kazan stories, sharing worlds of wonder with him, many of which she had thought up while working that day. She continued to tell him stories right up until the day he ran away, unintentionally breaking her heart. Though she and Keiho intended to make every effort to search for their dear Kazan, the Garleans chose that time to invade Ala Mhigo, sending the country into such turmoil that finding his trail was impossible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keiho Shibunuri&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;father&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot; I hope life is treating you well, wherever you and Mother are.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keiho Shibunuri led a peaceful life in the underwater village of Sui-no-Sato for many years, eventually marrying his childhood sweetheart, Sekka. Not long after the ceremony, news of Doma's fall reached Sui-no-Sato — news brought by a refugee; a father seeking shelter for his family, displaced by the Garleans. Though the Ruby Princess turned the man and his family away, refusing to take part in the affairs of outsides, Keiho saw something of himself in the man, and in secret, supplied the man with some small amount of food in hopes it might help. Sadly for him, his aid did not go unnoticed, and he was exiled from Sui-no-Sato. He and Sekko fled the Ruby Sea, unsuccessfully seeking a home in Kurogane. It was there that the two learned Sekka was pregnant with their child, and this knowledge spurred them to take the risk of crossing the sea, for clearly there was no life to be had in Hingashi.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The two made it to Eorzea, and eventually ended up settling in a small village in Ala Mhigo. Soon after, to his great delight, Haien was born, though Keiho had very little time to spare for a newborn, as impoverished as the family was. In truth, he often would come home so late after a hard day's work that he would simply fall asleep, leading to very little interaction between the two. When Haien ran away, he was devastated, but any attempts he might make to locate his missing son were hindered by both his lack of resources, and the invasion of the Garleans soon after.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;DEAR FRIENDS&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;S’hozqha Batih&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Childhood Friend&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; <br /> &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;”I never deserved your friendship, and I repaid you by killing you.

He used to be conjurer, judging by the possessions he was found with.&quot; &lt;b&gt;-- Meddlesome Maid.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&quot;I heard he was found penniless in the desert once, and that's how he came to Ul'dah. Probably a refugee of some sort, I'd wager.&quot; &lt;b&gt;-- Haughty Head of House.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&quot;My cousin tried to get him drunk once. Apparently he's the moodiest and least fun drunk she's ever met.&quot; &lt;b&gt;-- Bored Barmaid.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&quot;I ran into him when he was collecting rare poisonous plants once. The idiot wasn't wearing any protective gear at all! He had little nicks and cuts all over his hands, and not the once did he seem like he cared.&quot; &lt;b&gt;-- Baffled Botanist.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 25px; background:#f37735; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px &quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;◢ Rare Rumors -&lt;/b&gt; ''Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using!''&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&quot;There's some Miqo'te girl what's important to him. Twelve only knows who though; ask him 'bout her and he'll clam right up like as not.&quot; &lt;b&gt;-- Relentless Rogue.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&quot;It was near the end of my shift at the tavern and this Au Ra walks in and insults the three largest men there to their faces. The fight that ensued was the darnedest thing. You'd expect a man to be the worse for wear, and he sure was, but never have seen a man look so *happy* to be battered and bruised and barely able to walk.&quot; &lt;b&gt;-- Barroom Bouncer.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 25px; background:#d11141; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px &quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;◢ Near-Impossible Rumors -&lt;/b&gt; ''You &lt;u&gt;really&lt;/u&gt; need to know the right people for these, and we’d have to work something out in advance for a reason for you to know.''&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&quot;Several years ago, he tried to hire a courtesan once who came specially recommended to him as being very discreet. He asked them to hurt him, and hurt him badly, rather than the normal things a man asks for in such a situation. When they wouldn't, he broke down, gave them their coin, and left in a hurry. I haven't seen him seeking services since.&quot; &lt;b&gt;-- Close-mouthed Courtesan.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&quot;Okeya isn't his real name; it's Shibunuri. Apparently, he changed it to avoid his past, but he'll still reflexively respond to his old one.&quot; &lt;b&gt;-- Foreign Farmer.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 25px; background: #7e7e7e; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;◢ Player Character Rumors -&lt;/b&gt; ''Feel free to add rumors of your own!''&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;(Insert rumor here.) &lt;b&gt;-- Rumor Author / Location&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;(&lt;i&gt;If you add a player rumor, please first copy and paste the above line of code to leave behind for the next person!

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

He can frequently be found running a small stall in the markets of Ul'dah filled with freshly picked herbs, though he also fulfills custom and bulk orders on a regular basis. He's a very quiet man for the most part, preferring to keep his own counsel even amongst friends.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the lean side for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. His natural resting expression is a stern one, frequently causing people who don't know him to believe that he is permanently angry. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. Though he has been convinced to start wearing real clothing, he still tends to wear lighter, looser outfits, usually in dark or neutral colours.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien is quiet and solemn most of the time, particularly in large groups. While in the theatre troupe, the leader was a man who spoke loudly and often without really saying anything at all, and it rubbed Haien the wrong way. He started speaking less and less, and found that he could learn more through being quiet and observing than by filling the air with meaningless chatter. His penchant for observation and focus proved particularly useful when part of the Conjurer's Guild, even if he lacked the natural gift to truly succeed. That said, he's not all silence all the time. He recognizes that, while he's quite content to sit in silence, most people aren't him. When in a 1-on-1 setting, he makes an effort to be as social as he can. He's not great at it, and often comes off as awkward, but he does try to avoid actively making people uncomfortable.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien is not without personality, though some might be led to believe that since his emotions are often presented in a subtle manner. His friends have learned that a chuckle from him is the equivalent of a roaring, gut-splitting laugh from most any other man. A wink and a nudge is practically a proposition. A smile is the equivalent of an ear-to-ear grin. Those who can read body language well often find it more comfortable to spend time with Haien than those that do not.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;At one time, Haien exhibited very self-destructive behaviour, and had a tendency to blame himself for events in his life that weren't his own fault. Over the last year and a half, he's slowly recovered from this, and nowadays has a much more healthy mindset.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Space.&lt;/b&gt; His friends tend to be the people who understand he sometimes just needs to be alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Helping People.&lt;/b&gt; It’s always a temporary fix, but helping people is a band-aid to atone for those he feels he has wronged.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Being out in nature.&lt;/b&gt; Very little is as calming, and next to nothing offers him the serenity that gathering herbs in the wilderness does.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;His farm.&lt;/b&gt; Haien takes a lot of pride in his work and the produce produced by the Cooper farm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loudmouths.&lt;/b&gt; People who talk too much while saying very little are one of Haien’s biggest pet peeves.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loud, crowded environments&lt;/b&gt; It’s not a severe dislike, and he’s certainly been known to spend his fair share of time in cities, but when practical, he tends to avoid extended periods of time spent in crowded markets and the like.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Botany.&lt;/b&gt; Need an expensive herb for a good reason, but unable to afford market price?

This has improved some due to training from Gwendolyn Cooper, but is still far from ideal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> =History=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;BACKSTORY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Early Life&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien was born under another name that he has long distanced himself from. His parents were refugees to Ala Mhigo, and lived in an impoverished farming town that was barely able to make ends meet. As a baby and on into his early childhood, resources were tight. There was never enough food to go around, and he was often hungry. His parents were clearly miserable -- as was a fair portion of his village. It wasn't a happy life, and everyone around him worked hard for very little results. He became fast friends with a Miqo'te girl named S'hozqha Batih who lived in his village, and the two were nearly inseparable.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Then one day around Haien's fifth nameday, a theatre troupe came through on their travels. They put on show after show, and Haien had never seen the villagers happier. There was actual &lt;i&gt;merriment&lt;/i&gt; on faces he had thought permanently scored with frown lines and weary eyes. It was inspiring, and it came as little wonder that when they left town the next day, S'hozqha went with them, leaving Haien little choice but to follow suit. The young Miqo’te girl quickly found her talent as actress, while Haien preferred to avoid the limelight and work as an extra. He learned to move props and set pieces around unseen, and quickly found he was quite good at it.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Gridania, the Conjurer’s Guild, and the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Almost twelve years later, the troupe found themselves in Eorzea, specifically in Gridania. Their stay there lasted several days, but once more S'hozqha decided a change was needed, and joined the Archer's Guild there. Never one to deny his friend anything, particularly given his budding crush on her, Haien stayed around as well, though he chose to join the Conjurer's Guild instead of picking up the bow.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Sadly, Haien was far from gifted in the way of conjury. His patience and dedication brought him some minor results, but for the amount of work he put into it, he had very little to show in the way of progress. S'hozqha was the opposite. She took to archery like a fish to water, and soon found herself wanting for challenging targets.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;One day, she chanced to hear a rumour about monster in the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak, and decided that a strong adventurer like herself was what was needed to put them down. She managed to convince Haien to join her, despite his protest and begging that she not try it, and they set off the next day.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;As he had feared, it went badly; worse even than he could possibly have imagined. They were surrounded and overwhelmed by monsters, and their only option was to flee. In the process, S'hozqha was seriously injured. The wound was far too severe for Haien to heal, but she was far too dear to him to just give up on. He poured all his energy into trying to heal her, and the last thing he saw was her faint, weary smile before he collapsed on top of her.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Ul’dah and the beginning of Adventuring &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, he awoke atop her corpse. Distraught, he wandered aimlessly for days, wasting away. Eventually, he wound up in the desert sands nearly Ul'dah, where he finally collapsed from a mix of exhaustion, starvation, and dehydration. A wandering thief mistook him for dead and tried to check him for valuables, but panicked and ran away when he proved slightly more alive than they had hoped. Their surprised shriek drew an adventurer's attention, and they brought him to the Quicksand, where Momodi slowly nursed him back to health.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;The first time he regained consciousness, he seemed confused at first, but when his eyes fell on the sight of his conjurer's garb in the corner of his room, freshly cleaned and repaired, he fell apart. Despite his still weakened state, he started screaming, sobbing, and clawing at his skin, and Momodi had to call for him to be physically restrained before he could seriously hurt himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;The next time he came to, it was to a very guarded-looking Momodi, with none of his previous gear in sight. He was informed that he was found wandering in the desert, and (politely) questioned as to his name.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;It was here that he took the name Haien Okeya, chosen based on a minor character in the only story his mother had told him as a child. It was obvious he was lying and avoiding explaining where he had come from, but Momodi accepted it, presumably because she felt he wasn't doing so out of malice. Once he had fully recovered, he started helping her out by doing odd jobs around the Quicksand -- helping deliver goods, prepare food, clean rooms, or just about anything else she asked for, but there was a disconcerting lifelessness to him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt; One day, a party of adventurers came through the Quicksand, and Haien was tasked with helping nurse one of them back to health. The very next day, he came to Momodi and asked her permission to become an adventurer. Pleasantly surprised by his seemingly renewed interest in life, she agreed. She tried to start him off at the local Thaumaturgist's Guild, but he flat-out refused to walk in to a place of magic, as he claimed it was not for him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;They tried the Pugilist's Guild, and he took to it well. He was fast and nimble, and while he may not have been the strongest hitter, his punches were powerful enough to count, and aimed well to bring down his opponents. Another benefit of Pugilist over Thaumaturgist in Haien's mind was that it meant he had to always be near his enemies, and if he came home with a few bruises and scrapes each day, it was merely expected of someone who had to get up close and personal with those trying to kill him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;As the months went on, cuts and scrapes weren't enough for Haien. He started wearing lighter and lighter armor, frequently quoting the famous Pugilist Hamon Holyfist, who said that wearing less armor allowed them to move more freely. The true reason, of course, was not nearly so clean. Haien felt guilty over S'hozqha's death, and every injury or near death escape was what he felt he deserved. The more punishment, the better, in his eyes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Momodi watched as he continued down a path of self-destruction, unsure of what she could do. That is, she watched until the day Haien went out to take down a band of bandits single-handedly, without anything but the barest covering of armor. When he limped back victorious, but with three broken ribs, his tail dislocated, a deep gash on his forehead, and his right wrist shattered nearly beyond healing, she came up with an idea born as much out of desperation as anything else.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Limsa Lominsa and the Dutiful Sisters &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;As soon as he had recovered, Momodi sent him to deliver a sealed letter from her to the Dutiful Sisters in Limsa Lominsa. Ever feeling in her debt, Haien obliged, and it was there that he met Jacke.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;He was instantly taken by the Hyur with the strange mannerisms, and when Jacke offered him a place in the Rogue's Guild (probably largely due to Momodi vouching for his natural fit), he could do nothing but accept. Over the next year, he learned the rogue's craft and helped them apprehend various breakers of the Code. All his childhood training in being unseen paid off, as he discovered he was exceptionally skilled in the art of stealth, despite his towering stature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;It was during this time that he first met others of his kind. During his Rogue's training, he also trained under several Doman ninjas, learning their arts. Frequently he received questions from the more curious Au Ra -- who was this strange Raen with Eorzean mannerisms and customs, and what was his story? Haien learned quickly how to answer without answering, giving just enough substance to satisfy without revealing anything important. He spoke of how he had lived here as a child, grown up as a farmer, though his parents weren't part of the picture. To the family-oriented Domans, this often painted a picture of some familial tragedy -- a line of thinking Haien was not inclined to correct, as it often stopped the curiosity.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Eventually, his time with the Guild was over. He had learned the tricks of their trade, but more importantly, helping keep the Code intact had provided a form of atonement for Haien. He returned to Ul'dah not a completely healed man, but certainly not the broken shell of an Au Ra that had left a year prior.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Post Limsa &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;His time at the Sisters taught him much about herbs, both poisonous and medicinal, and he discovered he also had a knack for collecting them. Whereas many of the other rogues would grow bored doing what they considered a menial job, he enjoyed collecting the plants the Guild needed for its operations.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;When he came back to Ul'dah, he sought out tomes of knowledge on plant life, choosing to become a botanist. He still does normal adventurer work from time to time if there's a job that particularly interests him, but largely, he minds his own business and maintains a steady group of regular customers who frequently attest for the quality and fair prices he offers.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Lion Order &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Recently, Haien's friend Teddy persuaded him to join the free company he was a part of, Lion Order. One day, a chance discussion about summoning led him further on the path of depression. According to Aetheria and Teddy, it was possible to overcome one's aetherial limits (at cost to one's own health and well-being), and to accomplish magical feats one normally couldn't. He excused himself quickly, but it left him shattered once more. Could he really have saved S'hozqha if he had just known a little bit more, or been a little bit stronger?&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien would never return to Lion Order after that day. Though he was welcomed with open arms and made a few friends, notably Aetheria Crescent, he never really felt like he fit in, and after that conversation, it would be some time before he faced even his closest friends again, never mind the free company he never truly felt he belonged in.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Spiraling Downwards &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Thrust once more into a vicious cycle of regret, self-loathing, and self-destructive tendencies, he sought fights in various bars most nights. He hunted creatures far tougher than he could handle. He willingly ventured to the edges of Coerthas for herbs in little clothing, despite the temperature. He was a mess. One night at the Drowned Wench, he stumbled into Kahn'a Ohditra, and their conversation left him reeling and more impulsive than ever. Later that night, he picked a fight that went sour when the pirates pulled swords and firearms on him, and he barely managed to fight them off, leaving him with several broken ribs, bruises all across his entire body, a sprained tail, minor internal bleeding, and various other injuries and ailments. As he was recovering from the beating in a back-alley of Limsa, Kahn'a ran across him again, and the resulting conversation, combined with his injuries, gave him some much-needed perspective.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; The Path to Recovery &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Several days later, after most of the worst of his wounds and bruising had healed, Haien was back to drinking again. This time, however, he encountered J'saato Tia, and in doing so, was distracted from his intentions to fight the night away. The two ventured to Camp Bronze Lake, J'saato for healing in the hot springs located there, and Haien for the healing herb Menphina's Locks which grew nearby. The two talked several times over the next few days, and eventually J'saato gave Haien some friendly advice. The two parted ways once J'saato had healed, with Haien headed back to the deserts of Thanalan to collect herbs as a pretense, when he truly just needed to be alone and think.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately for him, fate had other ideas in mind. While staying for several days in Camp Drybone, he ran into Tyo'to Kaatapoh, an irritating, gossip-loving, braggart, and was roped into a dagger-throwing contest to try and wipe the smirk off the Miqo'te's face. It quickly became apparent that the two were evenly matched, and Tyo'to brought Haien to see a merchant who was offered a grand reward for the return of his stolen goods. Haien begrudgingly accepted the quest -- he was glad to help, but reluctant to spend more time than absolutely necessary with the chatty Tyo'to. The two made it to the missing caravan after a few days' travel, only to discover it was a trap, with an encampment of slavers ambushing them. They managed to fight their way out and escape, but Tyo'to was gravely wounded.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;In an act of desperation, not wanting history to repeat itself, Haien brought Tyo'to to the edges of the South Shroud, where he called on the elements to save Tyo'to's life. To Haien's great surprise, it worked, and while Tyo'to was far from healthy, Haien had managed to heal him enough through Conjury that his knowledge of herbs and practical medicine could bring him the rest of the way back to health. They spent several days in the wilds while Tyo'to recovered, having several long conversations about their motivations, their pasts, and perhaps most importantly in the long run, why Tyo'to continued to adventure even at risk of death. By the time they parted, something inside Haien had begun to heal. It would be a long road, but it seemed possible he might be on his way to recovery.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; A Saint of a Farmer &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some months later, Haien had developed a habit of selling the various herbs and spices he had collected in a small, weekly market on the outskirts of the Black Shroud. Despite taking place in a town with more market-time visitors than actual residents, it was a surprisingly organized affair, and Haien found himself assigned to a particular booth in the market, rather than free to choose his own location. Fortunately for him, the man who ran the booth beside his was an old midlander who seemed similarly inclined toward silence, and so the two men quickly found each others' presences tolerable enough. In truth, Haien quickly came to like the old man, particularly considering, unlike many people of that age, he never sensed any judgment for his attire or his near silence.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After several months of peaceful coexistance, though, the old man failed to show up one week, being replaced by a boisterous woman who seemed to think she would fall off the face of Eorzea should she ever stop talking. Eager to get rid of her, Haien approached the market's organizers and soon learned that the old man's name was Rothe Cooper, and that he'd failed to file the necessary paperwork that week, and that no one had heard from him since the week prior. Deciding that peace and quiet was well worth involving himself in the affairs of others without being asked, Haien made note of where Rothe's farm was located and decided to pay him a visit.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As it turned out, Rothe's farm was suffering from rodent problems, and Rothe himself was no longer spry enough to solve the problem himself. Haien, on the other hand, proved quite capable of ending the pesky menaces' reign of terror on the Cooper farm, and for his trouble, was hired on as permanent help, since farming was getting more and more taxing on Rothe each day. Over the following months, Haien and Rothe slowly got to know each other, learning each others' histories as they toiled together on the Cooper farm. Though normally tight-lipped about his past, Haien slowly found himself opening up to the man more and more, sharing his story bit by bit as Rothe shared his. Without realizing it, Haien began to regard the man almost as a father, and for his part, Rothe quickly came to see Haien as the son he'd never had. With Rothe's guiding hand and wise advice, the wounds that had festered since S'hozqha's death truly began to heal.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was just as Haien was truly feeling better that old age caught up with Rothe fully, and the man fell deeply ill. Knowing his time had come, and that if Haien stayed, he would likely blame himself for his inability to keep him alive, Rothe gave Haien one final task; to track down his four daughters and provide them news of his passing, as well as what little material wealth he had for them. Haien tried to refuse, but Rothe's insistence won out, and so Haien said his farewells for the last time, setting out on a serach that would take him across Eorzea over the next six months.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The first daughter, Arlette, was easy to find, as she was still living in the Black Shroud, on a farm with her husband and their children. Haien passed along the message and Rothe's package to her, urging her to try and see her old man one last time before the end, then set out to find the second daughter.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The second daughter, Verona, was more difficult to find, and it took him over a month of searching to pick up her trail. He eventually caught up with her and her wife living on the outskirts of the Dravanian Forelands, working with the wild chocobos there. He stayed with them for a time as their guest, before following a lead he'd picked up on the third sister.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After a great deal of hunting and searching, and many dead ends, Haien found Gwendolyn in Wineport, owner of a well-off vineyard. He didn't stay long, however, as she had recently heard from the youngest of Rothe's daughters, Elvina, who had claimed she was joining the Ala Mhigan resistance fighters under the enigmatic Griffin. By the time Haien managed to find Elvina, it was too late, and she had perished in the fight for Baelsar's Wall. Haien took it upon himself to provide a proper service for her, then returned with the news to the other three sisters, briefly all in one place at the Cooper farm. None of the three had any intentions of keeping the estate Rothe had left for them, as all had their own lives elsewhere, and eventually came to the decision to leave it to Haien, as he had clearly become one of the family by that time.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he missed Rothe dearly, Haien was determined to make the most of the farm that was the old man's legacy, and quickly settled back into the farming life, making the most of the second chance at life that so few received. Gwendolyn stayed for some months, helping Haien learn the ins and outs of managing a farm, as well as, in her words, &quot;bringing some civilization into [his] life.&quot; It was Gwendolyn that finally taught fully how to read, as well as impressed the need for real clothing on him -- and actually got that lesson to &lt;i&gt;stick&lt;/i&gt;. By the time she'd left, the two had grown very close, each considering the other a true sibling.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sekka Shibunuri,&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;mother&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;I hope life is treating you well, wherever you and Father are.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sekka Shibunuri led a peaceful life in the underwater village of Sui-no-Sato for many years, eventually marrying her childhood sweetheart, Keiho. Not long after the ceremony, a refugee and his family visited Sui-no-Sato seeking aid, only to be turned away by the Ruby Princess. Keiho attempted to supply the family with aid in secret, but was discovered and exiled. Though Sekka's family urged her to forget her husband, she could not turn her back on him, choosing instead fo follow him into exile, rather than lose him forever.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The two fled to Kurogane, where Sekka soon realized she was pregnant. With renewed motivation, she and Keiho sought passage across the seas once it became clear that there was nothing for them in Hingashi. At Sekka's request, they settled far from the sea in the deserts of Ala Mhigo, far from the sights and sounds that brought back painful memories of the family Sekka had left behind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Sooner than she and Keiho were prepared for, Sekka delivered a baby boy who she named after her father, Kazan. Sooner than she would have liked, she was forced to return to work on the family's tiny ranch, strapping Kazan into a basket on her back so that she might keep an eye on him even while she had to work. Every night, after the sun had gone down,<br /> she would tell Kazan stories, sharing worlds of wonder with him, many of which she had thought up while working that day. She continued to tell him stories right up until the day he ran away, unintentionally breaking her heart. Though she and Keiho intended to make every effort to search for their dear Kazan, the Garleans chose that time to invade Ala Mhigo, sending the country into such turmoil that finding his trail was impossible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keiho Shibunuri&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;father&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot; I hope life is treating you well, wherever you and Mother are.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keiho Shibunuri led a peaceful life in the underwater village of Sui-no-Sato for many years, eventually marrying his childhood sweetheart, Sekka. Not long after the ceremony, news of Doma's fall reached Sui-no-Sato — news brought by a refugee; a father seeking shelter for his family, displaced by the Garleans. Though the Ruby Princess turned the man and his family away, refusing to take part in the affairs of outsides, Keiho saw something of himself in the man, and in secret, supplied the man with some small amount of food in hopes it might help. Sadly for him, his aid did not go unnoticed, and he was exiled from Sui-no-Sato. He and Sekko fled the Ruby Sea, unsuccessfully seeking a home in Kurogane. It was there that the two learned Sekka was pregnant with their child, and this knowledge spurred them to take the risk of crossing the sea, for clearly there was no life to be had in Hingashi.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The two made it to Eorzea, and eventually ended up settling in a small village in Ala Mhigo. Soon after, to his great delight, Haien was born, though Keiho had very little time to spare for a newborn, as impoverished as the family was. In truth, he often would come home so late after a hard day's work that he would simply fall asleep, leading to very little interaction between the two. When Haien ran away, he was devastated, but any attempts he might make to locate his missing son were hindered by both his lack of resources, and the invasion of the Garleans soon after.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;DEAR FRIENDS&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;S’hozqha Batih&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Childhood Friend&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; <br /> &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;”I never deserved your friendship, and I repaid you by killing you.

The fight that ensued was the darnedest thing. You'd expect a man to be the worse for wear, and he sure was, but never have seen a man look so *happy* to be battered and bruised and barely able to walk.&quot; &lt;b&gt;-- Barroom Bouncer.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 25px; background:#d11141; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px &quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;◢ Near-Impossible Rumors -&lt;/b&gt; ''You &lt;u&gt;really&lt;/u&gt; need to know the right people for these, and we’d have to work something out in advance for a reason for you to know.''&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&quot;Several years ago, he tried to hire a courtesan once who came specially recommended to him as being very discreet. He asked them to hurt him, and hurt him badly, rather than the normal things a man asks for in such a situation. When they wouldn't, he broke down, gave them their coin, and left in a hurry. I haven't seen him seeking services since.&quot; &lt;b&gt;-- Close-mouthed Courtesan.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&quot;Okeya isn't his real name; it's Shibunuri.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

He can frequently be found running a small stall in the markets of Ul'dah filled with freshly picked herbs, though he also fulfills custom and bulk orders on a regular basis. He's a very quiet man for the most part, preferring to keep his own counsel even amongst friends.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the lean side for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. His natural resting expression is a stern one, frequently causing people who don't know him to believe that he is permanently angry. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. Though he has been convinced to start wearing real clothing, he still tends to wear lighter, looser outfits, usually in dark or neutral colours.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien is quiet and solemn most of the time, particularly in large groups. While in the theatre troupe, the leader was a man who spoke loudly and often without really saying anything at all, and it rubbed Haien the wrong way. He started speaking less and less, and found that he could learn more through being quiet and observing than by filling the air with meaningless chatter. His penchant for observation and focus proved particularly useful when part of the Conjurer's Guild, even if he lacked the natural gift to truly succeed. That said, he's not all silence all the time. He recognizes that, while he's quite content to sit in silence, most people aren't him. When in a 1-on-1 setting, he makes an effort to be as social as he can. He's not great at it, and often comes off as awkward, but he does try to avoid actively making people uncomfortable.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien is not without personality, though some might be led to believe that since his emotions are often presented in a subtle manner. His friends have learned that a chuckle from him is the equivalent of a roaring, gut-splitting laugh from most any other man. A wink and a nudge is practically a proposition. A smile is the equivalent of an ear-to-ear grin. Those who can read body language well often find it more comfortable to spend time with Haien than those that do not.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;At one time, Haien exhibited very self-destructive behaviour, and had a tendency to blame himself for events in his life that weren't his own fault. Over the last year and a half, he's slowly recovered from this, and nowadays has a much more healthy mindset.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Space.&lt;/b&gt; His friends tend to be the people who understand he sometimes just needs to be alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Helping People.&lt;/b&gt; It’s always a temporary fix, but helping people is a band-aid to atone for those he feels he has wronged.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Being out in nature.&lt;/b&gt; Very little is as calming, and next to nothing offers him the serenity that gathering herbs in the wilderness does.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;His farm.&lt;/b&gt; Haien takes a lot of pride in his work and the produce produced by the Cooper farm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loudmouths.&lt;/b&gt; People who talk too much while saying very little are one of Haien’s biggest pet peeves.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loud, crowded environments&lt;/b&gt; It’s not a severe dislike, and he’s certainly been known to spend his fair share of time in cities, but when practical, he tends to avoid extended periods of time spent in crowded markets and the like.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Botany.&lt;/b&gt; Need an expensive herb for a good reason, but unable to afford market price?

His parents were refugees to Ala Mhigo, and lived in an impoverished farming town that was barely able to make ends meet. As a baby and on into his early childhood, resources were tight. There was never enough food to go around, and he was often hungry. His parents were clearly miserable -- as was a fair portion of his village. It wasn't a happy life, and everyone around him worked hard for very little results. He became fast friends with a Miqo'te girl named S'hozqha Batih who lived in his village, and the two were nearly inseparable.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Then one day around Haien's fifth nameday, a theatre troupe came through on their travels. They put on show after show, and Haien had never seen the villagers happier. There was actual &lt;i&gt;merriment&lt;/i&gt; on faces he had thought permanently scored with frown lines and weary eyes. It was inspiring, and it came as little wonder that when they left town the next day, S'hozqha went with them, leaving Haien little choice but to follow suit. The young Miqo’te girl quickly found her talent as actress, while Haien preferred to avoid the limelight and work as an extra. He learned to move props and set pieces around unseen, and quickly found he was quite good at it.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Gridania, the Conjurer’s Guild, and the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Almost twelve years later, the troupe found themselves in Eorzea, specifically in Gridania. Their stay there lasted several days, but once more S'hozqha decided a change was needed, and joined the Archer's Guild there. Never one to deny his friend anything, particularly given his budding crush on her, Haien stayed around as well, though he chose to join the Conjurer's Guild instead of picking up the bow.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Sadly, Haien was far from gifted in the way of conjury. His patience and dedication brought him some minor results, but for the amount of work he put into it, he had very little to show in the way of progress. S'hozqha was the opposite. She took to archery like a fish to water, and soon found herself wanting for challenging targets.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;One day, she chanced to hear a rumour about monster in the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak, and decided that a strong adventurer like herself was what was needed to put them down. She managed to convince Haien to join her, despite his protest and begging that she not try it, and they set off the next day.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;As he had feared, it went badly; worse even than he could possibly have imagined. They were surrounded and overwhelmed by monsters, and their only option was to flee. In the process, S'hozqha was seriously injured. The wound was far too severe for Haien to heal, but she was far too dear to him to just give up on. He poured all his energy into trying to heal her, and the last thing he saw was her faint, weary smile before he collapsed on top of her.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Ul’dah and the beginning of Adventuring &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, he awoke atop her corpse. Distraught, he wandered aimlessly for days, wasting away. Eventually, he wound up in the desert sands nearly Ul'dah, where he finally collapsed from a mix of exhaustion, starvation, and dehydration. A wandering thief mistook him for dead and tried to check him for valuables, but panicked and ran away when he proved slightly more alive than they had hoped. Their surprised shriek drew an adventurer's attention, and they brought him to the Quicksand, where Momodi slowly nursed him back to health.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;The first time he regained consciousness, he seemed confused at first, but when his eyes fell on the sight of his conjurer's garb in the corner of his room, freshly cleaned and repaired, he fell apart. Despite his still weakened state, he started screaming, sobbing, and clawing at his skin, and Momodi had to call for him to be physically restrained before he could seriously hurt himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;The next time he came to, it was to a very guarded-looking Momodi, with none of his previous gear in sight. He was informed that he was found wandering in the desert, and (politely) questioned as to his name.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;It was here that he took the name Haien Okeya, chosen based on a minor character in the only story his mother had told him as a child. It was obvious he was lying and avoiding explaining where he had come from, but Momodi accepted it, presumably because she felt he wasn't doing so out of malice. Once he had fully recovered, he started helping her out by doing odd jobs around the Quicksand -- helping deliver goods, prepare food, clean rooms, or just about anything else she asked for, but there was a disconcerting lifelessness to him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt; One day, a party of adventurers came through the Quicksand, and Haien was tasked with helping nurse one of them back to health. The very next day, he came to Momodi and asked her permission to become an adventurer. Pleasantly surprised by his seemingly renewed interest in life, she agreed. She tried to start him off at the local Thaumaturgist's Guild, but he flat-out refused to walk in to a place of magic, as he claimed it was not for him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;They tried the Pugilist's Guild, and he took to it well. He was fast and nimble, and while he may not have been the strongest hitter, his punches were powerful enough to count, and aimed well to bring down his opponents. Another benefit of Pugilist over Thaumaturgist in Haien's mind was that it meant he had to always be near his enemies, and if he came home with a few bruises and scrapes each day, it was merely expected of someone who had to get up close and personal with those trying to kill him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;As the months went on, cuts and scrapes weren't enough for Haien. He started wearing lighter and lighter armor, frequently quoting the famous Pugilist Hamon Holyfist, who said that wearing less armor allowed them to move more freely. The true reason, of course, was not nearly so clean. Haien felt guilty over S'hozqha's death, and every injury or near death escape was what he felt he deserved. The more punishment, the better, in his eyes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Momodi watched as he continued down a path of self-destruction, unsure of what she could do. That is, she watched until the day Haien went out to take down a band of bandits single-handedly, without anything but the barest covering of armor. When he limped back victorious, but with three broken ribs, his tail dislocated, a deep gash on his forehead, and his right wrist shattered nearly beyond healing, she came up with an idea born as much out of desperation as anything else.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Limsa Lominsa and the Dutiful Sisters &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;As soon as he had recovered, Momodi sent him to deliver a sealed letter from her to the Dutiful Sisters in Limsa Lominsa. Ever feeling in her debt, Haien obliged, and it was there that he met Jacke.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;He was instantly taken by the Hyur with the strange mannerisms, and when Jacke offered him a place in the Rogue's Guild (probably largely due to Momodi vouching for his natural fit), he could do nothing but accept. Over the next year, he learned the rogue's craft and helped them apprehend various breakers of the Code. All his childhood training in being unseen paid off, as he discovered he was exceptionally skilled in the art of stealth, despite his towering stature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;It was during this time that he first met others of his kind. During his Rogue's training, he also trained under several Doman ninjas, learning their arts. Frequently he received questions from the more curious Au Ra -- who was this strange Raen with Eorzean mannerisms and customs, and what was his story? Haien learned quickly how to answer without answering, giving just enough substance to satisfy without revealing anything important. He spoke of how he had lived here as a child, grown up as a farmer, though his parents weren't part of the picture. To the family-oriented Domans, this often painted a picture of some familial tragedy -- a line of thinking Haien was not inclined to correct, as it often stopped the curiosity.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Eventually, his time with the Guild was over. He had learned the tricks of their trade, but more importantly, helping keep the Code intact had provided a form of atonement for Haien. He returned to Ul'dah not a completely healed man, but certainly not the broken shell of an Au Ra that had left a year prior.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Post Limsa &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;His time at the Sisters taught him much about herbs, both poisonous and medicinal, and he discovered he also had a knack for collecting them. Whereas many of the other rogues would grow bored doing what they considered a menial job, he enjoyed collecting the plants the Guild needed for its operations.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;When he came back to Ul'dah, he sought out tomes of knowledge on plant life, choosing to become a botanist. He still does normal adventurer work from time to time if there's a job that particularly interests him, but largely, he minds his own business and maintains a steady group of regular customers who frequently attest for the quality and fair prices he offers.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Lion Order &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Recently, Haien's friend Teddy persuaded him to join the free company he was a part of, Lion Order. One day, a chance discussion about summoning led him further on the path of depression. According to Aetheria and Teddy, it was possible to overcome one's aetherial limits (at cost to one's own health and well-being), and to accomplish magical feats one normally couldn't. He excused himself quickly, but it left him shattered once more. Could he really have saved S'hozqha if he had just known a little bit more, or been a little bit stronger?&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien would never return to Lion Order after that day. Though he was welcomed with open arms and made a few friends, notably Aetheria Crescent, he never really felt like he fit in, and after that conversation, it would be some time before he faced even his closest friends again, never mind the free company he never truly felt he belonged in.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Spiraling Downwards &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Thrust once more into a vicious cycle of regret, self-loathing, and self-destructive tendencies, he sought fights in various bars most nights. He hunted creatures far tougher than he could handle. He willingly ventured to the edges of Coerthas for herbs in little clothing, despite the temperature. He was a mess. One night at the Drowned Wench, he stumbled into Kahn'a Ohditra, and their conversation left him reeling and more impulsive than ever. Later that night, he picked a fight that went sour when the pirates pulled swords and firearms on him, and he barely managed to fight them off, leaving him with several broken ribs, bruises all across his entire body, a sprained tail, minor internal bleeding, and various other injuries and ailments. As he was recovering from the beating in a back-alley of Limsa, Kahn'a ran across him again, and the resulting conversation, combined with his injuries, gave him some much-needed perspective.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; The Path to Recovery &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Several days later, after most of the worst of his wounds and bruising had healed, Haien was back to drinking again. This time, however, he encountered J'saato Tia, and in doing so, was distracted from his intentions to fight the night away. The two ventured to Camp Bronze Lake, J'saato for healing in the hot springs located there, and Haien for the healing herb Menphina's Locks which grew nearby. The two talked several times over the next few days, and eventually J'saato gave Haien some friendly advice. The two parted ways once J'saato had healed, with Haien headed back to the deserts of Thanalan to collect herbs as a pretense, when he truly just needed to be alone and think.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately for him, fate had other ideas in mind. While staying for several days in Camp Drybone, he ran into Tyo'to Kaatapoh, an irritating, gossip-loving, braggart, and was roped into a dagger-throwing contest to try and wipe the smirk off the Miqo'te's face. It quickly became apparent that the two were evenly matched, and Tyo'to brought Haien to see a merchant who was offered a grand reward for the return of his stolen goods. Haien begrudgingly accepted the quest -- he was glad to help, but reluctant to spend more time than absolutely necessary with the chatty Tyo'to. The two made it to the missing caravan after a few days' travel, only to discover it was a trap, with an encampment of slavers ambushing them. They managed to fight their way out and escape, but Tyo'to was gravely wounded.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;In an act of desperation, not wanting history to repeat itself, Haien brought Tyo'to to the edges of the South Shroud, where he called on the elements to save Tyo'to's life. To Haien's great surprise, it worked, and while Tyo'to was far from healthy, Haien had managed to heal him enough through Conjury that his knowledge of herbs and practical medicine could bring him the rest of the way back to health. They spent several days in the wilds while Tyo'to recovered, having several long conversations about their motivations, their pasts, and perhaps most importantly in the long run, why Tyo'to continued to adventure even at risk of death. By the time they parted, something inside Haien had begun to heal. It would be a long road, but it seemed possible he might be on his way to recovery.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; A Saint of a Farmer &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some months later, Haien had developed a habit of selling the various herbs and spices he had collected in a small, weekly market on the outskirts of the Black Shroud. Despite taking place in a town with more market-time visitors than actual residents, it was a surprisingly organized affair, and Haien found himself assigned to a particular booth in the market, rather than free to choose his own location. Fortunately for him, the man who ran the booth beside his was an old midlander who seemed similarly inclined toward silence, and so the two men quickly found each others' presences tolerable enough. In truth, Haien quickly came to like the old man, particularly considering, unlike many people of that age, he never sensed any judgment for his attire or his near silence.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After several months of peaceful coexistance, though, the old man failed to show up one week, being replaced by a boisterous woman who seemed to think she would fall off the face of Eorzea should she ever stop talking. Eager to get rid of her, Haien approached the market's organizers and soon learned that the old man's name was Rothe Cooper, and that he'd failed to file the necessary paperwork that week, and that no one had heard from him since the week prior. Deciding that peace and quiet was well worth involving himself in the affairs of others without being asked, Haien made note of where Rothe's farm was located and decided to pay him a visit.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As it turned out, Rothe's farm was suffering from rodent problems, and Rothe himself was no longer spry enough to solve the problem himself. Haien, on the other hand, proved quite capable of ending the pesky menaces' reign of terror on the Cooper farm, and for his trouble, was hired on as permanent help, since farming was getting more and more taxing on Rothe each day. Over the following months, Haien and Rothe slowly got to know each other, learning each others' histories as they toiled together on the Cooper farm. Though normally tight-lipped about his past, Haien slowly found himself opening up to the man more and more, sharing his story bit by bit as Rothe shared his. Without realizing it, Haien began to regard the man almost as a father, and for his part, Rothe quickly came to see Haien as the son he'd never had. With Rothe's guiding hand and wise advice, the wounds that had festered since S'hozqha's death truly began to heal.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was just as Haien was truly feeling better that old age caught up with Rothe fully, and the man fell deeply ill. Knowing his time had come, and that if Haien stayed, he would likely blame himself for his inability to keep him alive, Rothe gave Haien one final task; to track down his four daughters and provide them news of his passing, as well as what little material wealth he had for them. Haien tried to refuse, but Rothe's insistence won out, and so Haien said his farewells for the last time, setting out on a serach that would take him across Eorzea over the next six months.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The first daughter, Arlette, was easy to find, as she was still living in the Black Shroud, on a farm with her husband and their children. Haien passed along the message and Rothe's package to her, urging her to try and see her old man one last time before the end, then set out to find the second daughter.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The second daughter, Verona, was more difficult to find, and it took him over a month of searching to pick up her trail. He eventually caught up with her and her wife living on the outskirts of the Dravanian Forelands, working with the wild chocobos there. He stayed with them for a time as their guest, before following a lead he'd picked up on the third sister.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After a great deal of hunting and searching, and many dead ends, Haien found Gwendolyn in Wineport, owner of a well-off vineyard. He didn't stay long, however, as she had recently heard from the youngest of Rothe's daughters, Elvina, who had claimed she was joining the Ala Mhigan resistance fighters under the enigmatic Griffin. By the time Haien managed to find Elvina, it was too late, and she had perished in the fight for Baelsar's Wall. Haien took it upon himself to provide a proper service for her, then returned with the news to the other three sisters, briefly all in one place at the Cooper farm. None of the three had any intentions of keeping the estate Rothe had left for them, as all had their own lives elsewhere, and eventually came to the decision to leave it to Haien, as he had clearly become one of the family by that time.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he missed Rothe dearly, Haien was determined to make the most of the farm that was the old man's legacy, and quickly settled back into the farming life, making the most of the second chance at life that so few received. Gwendolyn stayed for some months, helping Haien learn the ins and outs of managing a farm, as well as, in her words, &quot;bringing some civilization into [his] life.&quot; It was Gwendolyn that finally taught fully how to read, as well as impressed the need for real clothing on him -- and actually got that lesson to &lt;i&gt;stick&lt;/i&gt;. By the time she'd left, the two had grown very close, each considering the other a true sibling.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sekka Shibunuri,&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;mother&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;I hope life is treating you well, wherever you and Father are.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sekka Shibunuri led a peaceful life in the underwater village of Sui-no-Sato for many years, eventually marrying her childhood sweetheart, Keiho. Not long after the ceremony, a refugee and his family visited Sui-no-Sato seeking aid, only to be turned away by the Ruby Princess. Keiho attempted to supply the family with aid in secret, but was discovered and exiled. Though Sekka's family urged her to forget her husband, she could not turn her back on him, choosing instead fo follow him into exile, rather than lose him forever.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The two fled to Kurogane, where Sekka soon realized she was pregnant. With renewed motivation, she and Keiho sought passage across the seas once it became clear that there was nothing for them in Hingashi. At Sekka's request, they settled far from the sea in the deserts of Ala Mhigo, far from the sights and sounds that brought back painful memories of the family Sekka had left behind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Sooner than she and Keiho were prepared for, Sekka delivered a baby boy who she named after her father, Kazan. Sooner than she would have liked, she was forced to return to work on the family's tiny ranch, strapping Kazan into a basket on her back so that she might keep an eye on him even while she had to work. Every night, after the sun had gone down,<br /> she would tell Kazan stories, sharing worlds of wonder with him, many of which she had thought up while working that day. She continued to tell him stories right up until the day he ran away, unintentionally breaking her heart. Though she and Keiho intended to make every effort to search for their dear Kazan, the Garleans chose that time to invade Ala Mhigo, sending the country into such turmoil that finding his trail was impossible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keiho Shibunuri&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;father&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot; I hope life is treating you well, wherever you and Mother are.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keiho Shibunuri led a peaceful life in the underwater village of Sui-no-Sato for many years, eventually marrying his childhood sweetheart, Sekka. Not long after the ceremony, news of Doma's fall reached Sui-no-Sato — news brought by a refugee; a father seeking shelter for his family, displaced by the Garleans. Though the Ruby Princess turned the man and his family away, refusing to take part in the affairs of outsides, Keiho saw something of himself in the man, and in secret, supplied the man with some small amount of food in hopes it might help. Sadly for him, his aid did not go unnoticed, and he was exiled from Sui-no-Sato. He and Sekko fled the Ruby Sea, unsuccessfully seeking a home in Kurogane. It was there that the two learned Sekka was pregnant with their child, and this knowledge spurred them to take the risk of crossing the sea, for clearly there was no life to be had in Hingashi.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The two made it to Eorzea, and eventually ended up settling in a small village in Ala Mhigo. Soon after, to his great delight, Haien was born, though Keiho had very little time to spare for a newborn, as impoverished as the family was. In truth, he often would come home so late after a hard day's work that he would simply fall asleep, leading to very little interaction between the two. When Haien ran away, he was devastated, but any attempts he might make to locate his missing son were hindered by both his lack of resources, and the invasion of the Garleans soon after.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;DEAR FRIENDS&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;S’hozqha Batih&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Childhood Friend&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; <br /> &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;”I never deserved your friendship, and I repaid you by killing you.

The fight that ensued was the darnedest thing. You'd expect a man to be the worse for wear, and he sure was, but never have seen a man look so *happy* to be battered and bruised and barely able to walk.&quot; &lt;b&gt;-- Barroom Bouncer.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 25px; background:#d11141; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px &quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;◢ Near-Impossible Rumors -&lt;/b&gt; ''You &lt;u&gt;really&lt;/u&gt; need to know the right people for these, and we’d have to work something out in advance for a reason for you to know.''&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&quot;Several years ago, he tried to hire a courtesan once who came specially recommended to him as being very discreet.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

He can frequently be found running a small stall in the markets of Ul'dah filled with freshly picked herbs, though he also fulfills custom and bulk orders on a regular basis. He's a very quiet man for the most part, preferring to keep his own counsel even amongst friends.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the lean side for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. His natural resting expression is a stern one, frequently causing people who don't know him to believe that he is permanently angry. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. Particularly noticeable at first glance is Haien's style of dress -- or perhaps more appropriately, the lack thereof. Most of the time he can be found wearing armor, if you can call it that, that would seem more appropriate to some sort of ancient gladiator, though he insists it's purely for practicality and allows him more freedom of movement. &lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien is quiet and solemn most of the time, particularly in large groups. While in the theatre troupe, the leader was a man who spoke loudly and often without really saying anything at all, and it rubbed Haien the wrong way. He started speaking less and less, and found that he could learn more through being quiet and observing than by filling the air with meaningless chatter. This proved particularly useful when part of the Conjurer's Guild, even if he lacked the natural gift to truly succeed.&lt;/p&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;That said, he's not all silence all the time. He recognizes that, while he's quite content to sit in silence, most people aren't him. When in a 1-on-1 setting, he makes an effort to be as social as he can. He's not great at it, and often comes off as awkward, but he does try to avoid making people uncomfortable.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;He's not without personality -- his emotions are just subtle. His friends have learned that a chuckle from him is the equivalent of a roaring, gut-splitting laugh from most any other man. A wink and a nudge is practically a proposition. A smile is the equivalent of an ear-to-ear grin.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;He doesn't recklessly throw his safety in harm's way for no reason anymore, Haien still isn't wholly healthy, emotionally speaking. He may come to peace with the world by helping people – a practice he views as atonement for his failures – but he still blames himself every minute of every day for S'hozqha's death. If he had just been stronger, or faster, or more persuasive, maybe she would still be alive to grace the world with the smile he loved so dearly.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;But he wasn’t. It’s his fault, at least in his eyes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien's been known to seek out pain or punishment on very low days, particularly if he's had too much to drink. He tries not to make a habit of it, and certainly not in places where the world can see his pain, but every once in a while, he’s been known to relapse into bad habits.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;He doesn't view himself as worthy of good things, and frequently refuses gifts or offers of aide when they come his way, considering it his deserved lot in life to suffer. This frequently causes him to push his friends away during low periods, much as he tries to stay stable.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Space.&lt;/b&gt; His friends tend to be the people who understand he sometimes just needs to be alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Helping People.&lt;/b&gt; It’s always a temporary fix, but helping people is a band-aid to atone for those he feels he has wronged.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Being out in nature.&lt;/b&gt; Very little is as calming, and next to nothing offers him the serenity that gathering herbs in the wilderness does.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pain.&lt;/b&gt; It serves as both a reminder that he’s still alive when he's feeling empty, and punishment for his perceived failures when he's feeling low.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Himself.&lt;/b&gt; There is next to nothing about himself that Haien finds even &lt;i&gt;tolerable&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loudmouths.&lt;/b&gt; People who talk too much while saying very little are one of Haien’s biggest pet peeves.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loud, crowded environments&lt;/b&gt; It’s not a severe dislike, and he’s certainly been known to spend his fair share of time in cities, but when practical, he tends to avoid extended periods of time spent in crowded markets and the like.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Standard clothing.&lt;/b&gt; One thing Haien learned about wearing very little armor was that it afforded him far more freedom of movement than just about anything else. Since then, he’s reluctant to don full clothing again, going so far as to say that breathing is nigh impossible in formal attire.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Botany.&lt;/b&gt; Need an expensive herb for a good reason, but unable to afford market price?

His parents were refugees to Ala Mhigo, and lived in an impoverished farming town that was barely able to make ends meet. As a baby and on into his early childhood, resources were tight. There was never enough food to go around, and he was often hungry. His parents were clearly miserable -- as was a fair portion of his village. It wasn't a happy life, and everyone around him worked hard for very little results. He became fast friends with a Miqo'te girl named S'hozqha Batih who lived in his village, and the two were nearly inseparable.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Then one day around Haien's fifth nameday, a theatre troupe came through on their travels. They put on show after show, and Haien had never seen the villagers happier. There was actual &lt;i&gt;merriment&lt;/i&gt; on faces he had thought permanently scored with frown lines and weary eyes. It was inspiring, and it came as little wonder that when they left town the next day, S'hozqha went with them, leaving Haien little choice but to follow suit. The young Miqo’te girl quickly found her talent as actress, while Haien preferred to avoid the limelight and work as an extra. He learned to move props and set pieces around unseen, and quickly found he was quite good at it.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Gridania, the Conjurer’s Guild, and the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Almost twelve years later, the troupe found themselves in Eorzea, specifically in Gridania. Their stay there lasted several days, but once more S'hozqha decided a change was needed, and joined the Archer's Guild there. Never one to deny his friend anything, particularly given his budding crush on her, Haien stayed around as well, though he chose to join the Conjurer's Guild instead of picking up the bow.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Sadly, Haien was far from gifted in the way of conjury. His patience and dedication brought him some minor results, but for the amount of work he put into it, he had very little to show in the way of progress. S'hozqha was the opposite. She took to archery like a fish to water, and soon found herself wanting for challenging targets.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;One day, she chanced to hear a rumour about monster in the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak, and decided that a strong adventurer like herself was what was needed to put them down. She managed to convince Haien to join her, despite his protest and begging that she not try it, and they set off the next day.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;As he had feared, it went badly; worse even than he could possibly have imagined. They were surrounded and overwhelmed by monsters, and their only option was to flee. In the process, S'hozqha was seriously injured. The wound was far too severe for Haien to heal, but she was far too dear to him to just give up on. He poured all his energy into trying to heal her, and the last thing he saw was her faint, weary smile before he collapsed on top of her.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Ul’dah and the beginning of Adventuring &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, he awoke atop her corpse. Distraught, he wandered aimlessly for days, wasting away. Eventually, he wound up in the desert sands nearly Ul'dah, where he finally collapsed from a mix of exhaustion, starvation, and dehydration. A wandering thief mistook him for dead and tried to check him for valuables, but panicked and ran away when he proved slightly more alive than they had hoped. Their surprised shriek drew an adventurer's attention, and they brought him to the Quicksand, where Momodi slowly nursed him back to health.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;The first time he regained consciousness, he seemed confused at first, but when his eyes fell on the sight of his conjurer's garb in the corner of his room, freshly cleaned and repaired, he fell apart. Despite his still weakened state, he started screaming, sobbing, and clawing at his skin, and Momodi had to call for him to be physically restrained before he could seriously hurt himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;The next time he came to, it was to a very guarded-looking Momodi, with none of his previous gear in sight. He was informed that he was found wandering in the desert, and (politely) questioned as to his name.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;It was here that he took the name Haien Okeya, chosen based on a minor character in the only story his mother had told him as a child. It was obvious he was lying and avoiding explaining where he had come from, but Momodi accepted it, presumably because she felt he wasn't doing so out of malice. Once he had fully recovered, he started helping her out by doing odd jobs around the Quicksand -- helping deliver goods, prepare food, clean rooms, or just about anything else she asked for, but there was a disconcerting lifelessness to him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt; One day, a party of adventurers came through the Quicksand, and Haien was tasked with helping nurse one of them back to health. The very next day, he came to Momodi and asked her permission to become an adventurer. Pleasantly surprised by his seemingly renewed interest in life, she agreed. She tried to start him off at the local Thaumaturgist's Guild, but he flat-out refused to walk in to a place of magic, as he claimed it was not for him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;They tried the Pugilist's Guild, and he took to it well. He was fast and nimble, and while he may not have been the strongest hitter, his punches were powerful enough to count, and aimed well to bring down his opponents. Another benefit of Pugilist over Thaumaturgist in Haien's mind was that it meant he had to always be near his enemies, and if he came home with a few bruises and scrapes each day, it was merely expected of someone who had to get up close and personal with those trying to kill him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;As the months went on, cuts and scrapes weren't enough for Haien. He started wearing lighter and lighter armor, frequently quoting the famous Pugilist Hamon Holyfist, who said that wearing less armor allowed them to move more freely. The true reason, of course, was not nearly so clean. Haien felt guilty over S'hozqha's death, and every injury or near death escape was what he felt he deserved. The more punishment, the better, in his eyes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Momodi watched as he continued down a path of self-destruction, unsure of what she could do. That is, she watched until the day Haien went out to take down a band of bandits single-handedly, without anything but the barest covering of armor. When he limped back victorious, but with three broken ribs, his tail dislocated, a deep gash on his forehead, and his right wrist shattered nearly beyond healing, she came up with an idea born as much out of desperation as anything else.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Limsa Lominsa and the Dutiful Sisters &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;As soon as he had recovered, Momodi sent him to deliver a sealed letter from her to the Dutiful Sisters in Limsa Lominsa. Ever feeling in her debt, Haien obliged, and it was there that he met Jacke.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;He was instantly taken by the Hyur with the strange mannerisms, and when Jacke offered him a place in the Rogue's Guild (probably largely due to Momodi vouching for his natural fit), he could do nothing but accept. Over the next year, he learned the rogue's craft and helped them apprehend various breakers of the Code. All his childhood training in being unseen paid off, as he discovered he was exceptionally skilled in the art of stealth, despite his towering stature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;It was during this time that he first met others of his kind. During his Rogue's training, he also trained under several Doman ninjas, learning their arts. Frequently he received questions from the more curious Au Ra -- who was this strange Raen with Eorzean mannerisms and customs, and what was his story? Haien learned quickly how to answer without answering, giving just enough substance to satisfy without revealing anything important. He spoke of how he had lived here as a child, grown up as a farmer, though his parents weren't part of the picture. To the family-oriented Domans, this often painted a picture of some familial tragedy -- a line of thinking Haien was not inclined to correct, as it often stopped the curiosity.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Eventually, his time with the Guild was over. He had learned the tricks of their trade, but more importantly, helping keep the Code intact had provided a form of atonement for Haien. He returned to Ul'dah not a completely healed man, but certainly not the broken shell of an Au Ra that had left a year prior.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Post Limsa &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;His time at the Sisters taught him much about herbs, both poisonous and medicinal, and he discovered he also had a knack for collecting them. Whereas many of the other rogues would grow bored doing what they considered a menial job, he enjoyed collecting the plants the Guild needed for its operations.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;When he came back to Ul'dah, he sought out tomes of knowledge on plant life, choosing to become a botanist. He still does normal adventurer work from time to time if there's a job that particularly interests him, but largely, he minds his own business and maintains a steady group of regular customers who frequently attest for the quality and fair prices he offers.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Lion Order &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Recently, Haien's friend Teddy persuaded him to join the free company he was a part of, Lion Order. One day, a chance discussion about summoning led him further on the path of depression. According to Aetheria and Teddy, it was possible to overcome one's aetherial limits (at cost to one's own health and well-being), and to accomplish magical feats one normally couldn't. He excused himself quickly, but it left him shattered once more. Could he really have saved S'hozqha if he had just known a little bit more, or been a little bit stronger?&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien would never return to Lion Order after that day. Though he was welcomed with open arms and made a few friends, notably Aetheria Crescent, he never really felt like he fit in, and after that conversation, it would be some time before he faced even his closest friends again, never mind the free company he never truly felt he belonged in.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Spiraling Downwards &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Thrust once more into a vicious cycle of regret, self-loathing, and self-destructive tendencies, he sought fights in various bars most nights. He hunted creatures far tougher than he could handle. He willingly ventured to the edges of Coerthas for herbs in little clothing, despite the temperature. He was a mess. One night at the Drowned Wench, he stumbled into Kahn'a Ohditra, and their conversation left him reeling and more impulsive than ever. Later that night, he picked a fight that went sour when the pirates pulled swords and firearms on him, and he barely managed to fight them off, leaving him with several broken ribs, bruises all across his entire body, a sprained tail, minor internal bleeding, and various other injuries and ailments. As he was recovering from the beating in a back-alley of Limsa, Kahn'a ran across him again, and the resulting conversation, combined with his injuries, gave him some much-needed perspective.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; The Path to Recovery &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Several days later, after most of the worst of his wounds and bruising had healed, Haien was back to drinking again. This time, however, he encountered J'saato Tia, and in doing so, was distracted from his intentions to fight the night away. The two ventured to Camp Bronze Lake, J'saato for healing in the hot springs located there, and Haien for the healing herb Menphina's Locks which grew nearby. The two talked several times over the next few days, and eventually J'saato gave Haien some friendly advice. The two parted ways once J'saato had healed, with Haien headed back to the deserts of Thanalan to collect herbs as a pretense, when he truly just needed to be alone and think.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately for him, fate had other ideas in mind. While staying for several days in Camp Drybone, he ran into Tyo'to Kaatapoh, an irritating, gossip-loving, braggart, and was roped into a dagger-throwing contest to try and wipe the smirk off the Miqo'te's face. It quickly became apparent that the two were evenly matched, and Tyo'to brought Haien to see a merchant who was offered a grand reward for the return of his stolen goods. Haien begrudgingly accepted the quest -- he was glad to help, but reluctant to spend more time than absolutely necessary with the chatty Tyo'to. The two made it to the missing caravan after a few days' travel, only to discover it was a trap, with an encampment of slavers ambushing them. They managed to fight their way out and escape, but Tyo'to was gravely wounded.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;In an act of desperation, not wanting history to repeat itself, Haien brought Tyo'to to the edges of the South Shroud, where he called on the elements to save Tyo'to's life. To Haien's great surprise, it worked, and while Tyo'to was far from healthy, Haien had managed to heal him enough through Conjury that his knowledge of herbs and practical medicine could bring him the rest of the way back to health. They spent several days in the wilds while Tyo'to recovered, having several long conversations about their motivations, their pasts, and perhaps most importantly in the long run, why Tyo'to continued to adventure even at risk of death. By the time they parted, something inside Haien had begun to heal. It would be a long road, but it seemed possible he might be on his way to recovery.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; A Saint of a Farmer &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some months later, Haien had developed a habit of selling the various herbs and spices he had collected in a small, weekly market on the outskirts of the Black Shroud. Despite taking place in a town with more market-time visitors than actual residents, it was a surprisingly organized affair, and Haien found himself assigned to a particular booth in the market, rather than free to choose his own location. Fortunately for him, the man who ran the booth beside his was an old midlander who seemed similarly inclined toward silence, and so the two men quickly found each others' presences tolerable enough. In truth, Haien quickly came to like the old man, particularly considering, unlike many people of that age, he never sensed any judgment for his attire or his near silence.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After several months of peaceful coexistance, though, the old man failed to show up one week, being replaced by a boisterous woman who seemed to think she would fall off the face of Eorzea should she ever stop talking. Eager to get rid of her, Haien approached the market's organizers and soon learned that the old man's name was Rothe Cooper, and that he'd failed to file the necessary paperwork that week, and that no one had heard from him since the week prior. Deciding that peace and quiet was well worth involving himself in the affairs of others without being asked, Haien made note of where Rothe's farm was located and decided to pay him a visit.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As it turned out, Rothe's farm was suffering from rodent problems, and Rothe himself was no longer spry enough to solve the problem himself. Haien, on the other hand, proved quite capable of ending the pesky menaces' reign of terror on the Cooper farm, and for his trouble, was hired on as permanent help, since farming was getting more and more taxing on Rothe each day. Over the following months, Haien and Rothe slowly got to know each other, learning each others' histories as they toiled together on the Cooper farm. Though normally tight-lipped about his past, Haien slowly found himself opening up to the man more and more, sharing his story bit by bit as Rothe shared his. Without realizing it, Haien began to regard the man almost as a father, and for his part, Rothe quickly came to see Haien as the son he'd never had. With Rothe's guiding hand and wise advice, the wounds that had festered since S'hozqha's death truly began to heal.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was just as Haien was truly feeling better that old age caught up with Rothe fully, and the man fell deeply ill. Knowing his time had come, and that if Haien stayed, he would likely blame himself for his inability to keep him alive, Rothe gave Haien one final task; to track down his four daughters and provide them news of his passing, as well as what little material wealth he had for them. Haien tried to refuse, but Rothe's insistence won out, and so Haien said his farewells for the last time, setting out on a serach that would take him across Eorzea over the next six months.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The first daughter, Arlette, was easy to find, as she was still living in the Black Shroud, on a farm with her husband and their children. Haien passed along the message and Rothe's package to her, urging her to try and see her old man one last time before the end, then set out to find the second daughter.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The second daughter, Verona, was more difficult to find, and it took him over a month of searching to pick up her trail. He eventually caught up with her and her wife living on the outskirts of the Dravanian Forelands, working with the wild chocobos there. He stayed with them for a time as their guest, before following a lead he'd picked up on the third sister.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After a great deal of hunting and searching, and many dead ends, Haien found Gwendolyn in Wineport, owner of a well-off vineyard. He didn't stay long, however, as she had recently heard from the youngest of Rothe's daughters, Elvina, who had claimed she was joining the Ala Mhigan resistance fighters under the enigmatic Griffin. By the time Haien managed to find Elvina, it was too late, and she had perished in the fight for Baelsar's Wall. Haien took it upon himself to provide a proper service for her, then returned with the news to the other three sisters, briefly all in one place at the Cooper farm. None of the three had any intentions of keeping the estate Rothe had left for them, as all had their own lives elsewhere, and eventually came to the decision to leave it to Haien, as he had clearly become one of the family by that time.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he missed Rothe dearly, Haien was determined to make the most of the farm that was the old man's legacy, and quickly settled back into the farming life, making the most of the second chance at life that so few received. Gwendolyn stayed for some months, helping Haien learn the ins and outs of managing a farm, as well as, in her words, &quot;bringing some civilization into [his] life.&quot; It was Gwendolyn that finally taught fully how to read, as well as impressed the need for real clothing on him -- and actually got that lesson to &lt;i&gt;stick&lt;/i&gt;. By the time she'd left, the two had grown very close, each considering the other a true sibling.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sekka Shibunuri,&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;mother&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;I hope life is treating you well, wherever you and Father are.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sekka Shibunuri led a peaceful life in the underwater village of Sui-no-Sato for many years, eventually marrying her childhood sweetheart, Keiho. Not long after the ceremony, a refugee and his family visited Sui-no-Sato seeking aid, only to be turned away by the Ruby Princess. Keiho attempted to supply the family with aid in secret, but was discovered and exiled. Though Sekka's family urged her to forget her husband, she could not turn her back on him, choosing instead fo follow him into exile, rather than lose him forever.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The two fled to Kurogane, where Sekka soon realized she was pregnant. With renewed motivation, she and Keiho sought passage across the seas once it became clear that there was nothing for them in Hingashi. At Sekka's request, they settled far from the sea in the deserts of Ala Mhigo, far from the sights and sounds that brought back painful memories of the family Sekka had left behind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Sooner than she and Keiho were prepared for, Sekka delivered a baby boy who she named after her father, Kazan. Sooner than she would have liked, she was forced to return to work on the family's tiny ranch, strapping Kazan into a basket on her back so that she might keep an eye on him even while she had to work. Every night, after the sun had gone down,<br /> she would tell Kazan stories, sharing worlds of wonder with him, many of which she had thought up while working that day. She continued to tell him stories right up until the day he ran away, unintentionally breaking her heart. Though she and Keiho intended to make every effort to search for their dear Kazan, the Garleans chose that time to invade Ala Mhigo, sending the country into such turmoil that finding his trail was impossible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keiho Shibunuri&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;father&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot; I hope life is treating you well, wherever you and Mother are.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keiho Shibunuri led a peaceful life in the underwater village of Sui-no-Sato for many years, eventually marrying his childhood sweetheart, Sekka. Not long after the ceremony, news of Doma's fall reached Sui-no-Sato — news brought by a refugee; a father seeking shelter for his family, displaced by the Garleans. Though the Ruby Princess turned the man and his family away, refusing to take part in the affairs of outsides, Keiho saw something of himself in the man, and in secret, supplied the man with some small amount of food in hopes it might help. Sadly for him, his aid did not go unnoticed, and he was exiled from Sui-no-Sato. He and Sekko fled the Ruby Sea, unsuccessfully seeking a home in Kurogane. It was there that the two learned Sekka was pregnant with their child, and this knowledge spurred them to take the risk of crossing the sea, for clearly there was no life to be had in Hingashi.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The two made it to Eorzea, and eventually ended up settling in a small village in Ala Mhigo. Soon after, to his great delight, Haien was born, though Keiho had very little time to spare for a newborn, as impoverished as the family was. In truth, he often would come home so late after a hard day's work that he would simply fall asleep, leading to very little interaction between the two. When Haien ran away, he was devastated, but any attempts he might make to locate his missing son were hindered by both his lack of resources, and the invasion of the Garleans soon after.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;DEAR FRIENDS&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;S’hozqha Batih&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Childhood Friend&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; <br /> &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;”I never deserved your friendship, and I repaid you by killing you.

The fight that ensued was the darnedest thing. You'd expect a man to be the worse for wear, and he sure was, but never have seen a man look so *happy* to be battered and bruised and barely able to walk.&quot; &lt;b&gt;-- Barroom Bouncer.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 25px; background:#d11141; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px &quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;◢ Near-Impossible Rumors -&lt;/b&gt; ''You &lt;u&gt;really&lt;/u&gt; need to know the right people for these, and we’d have to work something out in advance for a reason for you to know.''&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&quot;Several years ago, he tried to hire a courtesan once who came specially recommended to him as being very discreet. He asked them to hurt him, and hurt him badly, rather than the normal things a man asks for in such a situation. When they wouldn't, he broke down, gave them their coin, and left in a hurry. I haven't seen him seeking services since.&quot; &lt;b&gt;-- Close-mouthed Courtesan.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&quot;Okeya isn't his real name; it's Shibunuri.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

He can frequently be found running a small stall in the markets of Ul'dah filled with freshly picked herbs, though he also fulfills custom and bulk orders on a regular basis. He's a very quiet man for the most part, preferring to keep his own counsel even amongst friends.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the lean side for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. His natural resting expression is a stern one, frequently causing people who don't know him to believe that he is permanently angry. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. Particularly noticeable at first glance is Haien's style of dress -- or perhaps more appropriately, the lack thereof. Most of the time he can be found wearing armor, if you can call it that, that would seem more appropriate to some sort of ancient gladiator, though he insists it's purely for practicality and allows him more freedom of movement. &lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien is quiet and solemn most of the time, particularly in large groups. While in the theatre troupe, the leader was a man who spoke loudly and often without really saying anything at all, and it rubbed Haien the wrong way. He started speaking less and less, and found that he could learn more through being quiet and observing than by filling the air with meaningless chatter. This proved particularly useful when part of the Conjurer's Guild, even if he lacked the natural gift to truly succeed.&lt;/p&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;That said, he's not all silence all the time. He recognizes that, while he's quite content to sit in silence, most people aren't him. When in a 1-on-1 setting, he makes an effort to be as social as he can. He's not great at it, and often comes off as awkward, but he does try to avoid making people uncomfortable.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;He's not without personality -- his emotions are just subtle. His friends have learned that a chuckle from him is the equivalent of a roaring, gut-splitting laugh from most any other man. A wink and a nudge is practically a proposition. A smile is the equivalent of an ear-to-ear grin.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;He doesn't recklessly throw his safety in harm's way for no reason anymore, Haien still isn't wholly healthy, emotionally speaking. He may come to peace with the world by helping people – a practice he views as atonement for his failures – but he still blames himself every minute of every day for S'hozqha's death. If he had just been stronger, or faster, or more persuasive, maybe she would still be alive to grace the world with the smile he loved so dearly.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;But he wasn’t. It’s his fault, at least in his eyes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien's been known to seek out pain or punishment on very low days, particularly if he's had too much to drink. He tries not to make a habit of it, and certainly not in places where the world can see his pain, but every once in a while, he’s been known to relapse into bad habits.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;He doesn't view himself as worthy of good things, and frequently refuses gifts or offers of aide when they come his way, considering it his deserved lot in life to suffer. This frequently causes him to push his friends away during low periods, much as he tries to stay stable.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Space.&lt;/b&gt; His friends tend to be the people who understand he sometimes just needs to be alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Helping People.&lt;/b&gt; It’s always a temporary fix, but helping people is a band-aid to atone for those he feels he has wronged.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Being out in nature.&lt;/b&gt; Very little is as calming, and next to nothing offers him the serenity that gathering herbs in the wilderness does.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pain.&lt;/b&gt; It serves as both a reminder that he’s still alive when he's feeling empty, and punishment for his perceived failures when he's feeling low.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Himself.&lt;/b&gt; There is next to nothing about himself that Haien finds even &lt;i&gt;tolerable&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loudmouths.&lt;/b&gt; People who talk too much while saying very little are one of Haien’s biggest pet peeves.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loud, crowded environments&lt;/b&gt; It’s not a severe dislike, and he’s certainly been known to spend his fair share of time in cities, but when practical, he tends to avoid extended periods of time spent in crowded markets and the like.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Standard clothing.&lt;/b&gt; One thing Haien learned about wearing very little armor was that it afforded him far more freedom of movement than just about anything else. Since then, he’s reluctant to don full clothing again, going so far as to say that breathing is nigh impossible in formal attire.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Botany.&lt;/b&gt; Need an expensive herb for a good reason, but unable to afford market price?

His parents were refugees to Ala Mhigo, and lived in an impoverished farming town that was barely able to make ends meet. As a baby and on into his early childhood, resources were tight. There was never enough food to go around, and he was often hungry. His parents were clearly miserable -- as was a fair portion of his village. It wasn't a happy life, and everyone around him worked hard for very little results. He became fast friends with a Miqo'te girl named S'hozqha Batih who lived in his village, and the two were nearly inseparable.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Then one day around Haien's fifth nameday, a theatre troupe came through on their travels. They put on show after show, and Haien had never seen the villagers happier. There was actual &lt;i&gt;merriment&lt;/i&gt; on faces he had thought permanently scored with frown lines and weary eyes. It was inspiring, and it came as little wonder that when they left town the next day, S'hozqha went with them, leaving Haien little choice but to follow suit. The young Miqo’te girl quickly found her talent as actress, while Haien preferred to avoid the limelight and work as an extra. He learned to move props and set pieces around unseen, and quickly found he was quite good at it.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Gridania, the Conjurer’s Guild, and the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Almost twelve years later, the troupe found themselves in Eorzea, specifically in Gridania. Their stay there lasted several days, but once more S'hozqha decided a change was needed, and joined the Archer's Guild there. Never one to deny his friend anything, particularly given his budding crush on her, Haien stayed around as well, though he chose to join the Conjurer's Guild instead of picking up the bow.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Sadly, Haien was far from gifted in the way of conjury. His patience and dedication brought him some minor results, but for the amount of work he put into it, he had very little to show in the way of progress. S'hozqha was the opposite. She took to archery like a fish to water, and soon found herself wanting for challenging targets.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;One day, she chanced to hear a rumour about monster in the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak, and decided that a strong adventurer like herself was what was needed to put them down. She managed to convince Haien to join her, despite his protest and begging that she not try it, and they set off the next day.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;As he had feared, it went badly; worse even than he could possibly have imagined. They were surrounded and overwhelmed by monsters, and their only option was to flee. In the process, S'hozqha was seriously injured. The wound was far too severe for Haien to heal, but she was far too dear to him to just give up on. He poured all his energy into trying to heal her, and the last thing he saw was her faint, weary smile before he collapsed on top of her.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Ul’dah and the beginning of Adventuring &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, he awoke atop her corpse. Distraught, he wandered aimlessly for days, wasting away. Eventually, he wound up in the desert sands nearly Ul'dah, where he finally collapsed from a mix of exhaustion, starvation, and dehydration. A wandering thief mistook him for dead and tried to check him for valuables, but panicked and ran away when he proved slightly more alive than they had hoped. Their surprised shriek drew an adventurer's attention, and they brought him to the Quicksand, where Momodi slowly nursed him back to health.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;The first time he regained consciousness, he seemed confused at first, but when his eyes fell on the sight of his conjurer's garb in the corner of his room, freshly cleaned and repaired, he fell apart. Despite his still weakened state, he started screaming, sobbing, and clawing at his skin, and Momodi had to call for him to be physically restrained before he could seriously hurt himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;The next time he came to, it was to a very guarded-looking Momodi, with none of his previous gear in sight. He was informed that he was found wandering in the desert, and (politely) questioned as to his name.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;It was here that he took the name Haien Okeya, chosen based on a minor character in the only story his mother had told him as a child. It was obvious he was lying and avoiding explaining where he had come from, but Momodi accepted it, presumably because she felt he wasn't doing so out of malice. Once he had fully recovered, he started helping her out by doing odd jobs around the Quicksand -- helping deliver goods, prepare food, clean rooms, or just about anything else she asked for, but there was a disconcerting lifelessness to him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt; One day, a party of adventurers came through the Quicksand, and Haien was tasked with helping nurse one of them back to health. The very next day, he came to Momodi and asked her permission to become an adventurer. Pleasantly surprised by his seemingly renewed interest in life, she agreed. She tried to start him off at the local Thaumaturgist's Guild, but he flat-out refused to walk in to a place of magic, as he claimed it was not for him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;They tried the Pugilist's Guild, and he took to it well. He was fast and nimble, and while he may not have been the strongest hitter, his punches were powerful enough to count, and aimed well to bring down his opponents. Another benefit of Pugilist over Thaumaturgist in Haien's mind was that it meant he had to always be near his enemies, and if he came home with a few bruises and scrapes each day, it was merely expected of someone who had to get up close and personal with those trying to kill him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;As the months went on, cuts and scrapes weren't enough for Haien. He started wearing lighter and lighter armor, frequently quoting the famous Pugilist Hamon Holyfist, who said that wearing less armor allowed them to move more freely. The true reason, of course, was not nearly so clean. Haien felt guilty over S'hozqha's death, and every injury or near death escape was what he felt he deserved. The more punishment, the better, in his eyes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Momodi watched as he continued down a path of self-destruction, unsure of what she could do. That is, she watched until the day Haien went out to take down a band of bandits single-handedly, without anything but the barest covering of armor. When he limped back victorious, but with three broken ribs, his tail dislocated, a deep gash on his forehead, and his right wrist shattered nearly beyond healing, she came up with an idea born as much out of desperation as anything else.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Limsa Lominsa and the Dutiful Sisters &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;As soon as he had recovered, Momodi sent him to deliver a sealed letter from her to the Dutiful Sisters in Limsa Lominsa. Ever feeling in her debt, Haien obliged, and it was there that he met Jacke.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;He was instantly taken by the Hyur with the strange mannerisms, and when Jacke offered him a place in the Rogue's Guild (probably largely due to Momodi vouching for his natural fit), he could do nothing but accept. Over the next year, he learned the rogue's craft and helped them apprehend various breakers of the Code. All his childhood training in being unseen paid off, as he discovered he was exceptionally skilled in the art of stealth, despite his towering stature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;It was during this time that he first met others of his kind. During his Rogue's training, he also trained under several Doman ninjas, learning their arts. Frequently he received questions from the more curious Au Ra -- who was this strange Raen with Eorzean mannerisms and customs, and what was his story? Haien learned quickly how to answer without answering, giving just enough substance to satisfy without revealing anything important. He spoke of how he had lived here as a child, grown up as a farmer, though his parents weren't part of the picture. To the family-oriented Domans, this often painted a picture of some familial tragedy -- a line of thinking Haien was not inclined to correct, as it often stopped the curiosity.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Eventually, his time with the Guild was over. He had learned the tricks of their trade, but more importantly, helping keep the Code intact had provided a form of atonement for Haien. He returned to Ul'dah not a completely healed man, but certainly not the broken shell of an Au Ra that had left a year prior.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Post Limsa &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;His time at the Sisters taught him much about herbs, both poisonous and medicinal, and he discovered he also had a knack for collecting them. Whereas many of the other rogues would grow bored doing what they considered a menial job, he enjoyed collecting the plants the Guild needed for its operations.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;When he came back to Ul'dah, he sought out tomes of knowledge on plant life, choosing to become a botanist. He still does normal adventurer work from time to time if there's a job that particularly interests him, but largely, he minds his own business and maintains a steady group of regular customers who frequently attest for the quality and fair prices he offers.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Lion Order &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Recently, Haien's friend Teddy persuaded him to join the free company he was a part of, Lion Order. One day, a chance discussion about summoning led him further on the path of depression. According to Aetheria and Teddy, it was possible to overcome one's aetherial limits (at cost to one's own health and well-being), and to accomplish magical feats one normally couldn't. He excused himself quickly, but it left him shattered once more. Could he really have saved S'hozqha if he had just known a little bit more, or been a little bit stronger?&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien would never return to Lion Order after that day. Though he was welcomed with open arms and made a few friends, notably Aetheria Crescent, he never really felt like he fit in, and after that conversation, it would be some time before he faced even his closest friends again, never mind the free company he never truly felt he belonged in.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Spiraling Downwards &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Thrust once more into a vicious cycle of regret, self-loathing, and self-destructive tendencies, he sought fights in various bars most nights. He hunted creatures far tougher than he could handle. He willingly ventured to the edges of Coerthas for herbs in little clothing, despite the temperature. He was a mess. One night at the Drowned Wench, he stumbled into Kahn'a Ohditra, and their conversation left him reeling and more impulsive than ever. Later that night, he picked a fight that went sour when the pirates pulled swords and firearms on him, and he barely managed to fight them off, leaving him with several broken ribs, bruises all across his entire body, a sprained tail, minor internal bleeding, and various other injuries and ailments. As he was recovering from the beating in a back-alley of Limsa, Kahn'a ran across him again, and the resulting conversation, combined with his injuries, gave him some much-needed perspective.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; The Path to Recovery &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Several days later, after most of the worst of his wounds and bruising had healed, Haien was back to drinking again. This time, however, he encountered J'saato Tia, and in doing so, was distracted from his intentions to fight the night away. The two ventured to Camp Bronze Lake, J'saato for healing in the hot springs located there, and Haien for the healing herb Menphina's Locks which grew nearby. The two talked several times over the next few days, and eventually J'saato gave Haien some friendly advice. The two parted ways once J'saato had healed, with Haien headed back to the deserts of Thanalan to collect herbs as a pretense, when he truly just needed to be alone and think.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately for him, fate had other ideas in mind. While staying for several days in Camp Drybone, he ran into Tyo'to Kaatapoh, an irritating, gossip-loving, braggart, and was roped into a dagger-throwing contest to try and wipe the smirk off the Miqo'te's face. It quickly became apparent that the two were evenly matched, and Tyo'to brought Haien to see a merchant who was offered a grand reward for the return of his stolen goods. Haien begrudgingly accepted the quest -- he was glad to help, but reluctant to spend more time than absolutely necessary with the chatty Tyo'to. The two made it to the missing caravan after a few days' travel, only to discover it was a trap, with an encampment of slavers ambushing them. They managed to fight their way out and escape, but Tyo'to was gravely wounded.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;In an act of desperation, not wanting history to repeat itself, Haien brought Tyo'to to the edges of the South Shroud, where he called on the elements to save Tyo'to's life. To Haien's great surprise, it worked, and while Tyo'to was far from healthy, Haien had managed to heal him enough through Conjury that his knowledge of herbs and practical medicine could bring him the rest of the way back to health. They spent several days in the wilds while Tyo'to recovered, having several long conversations about their motivations, their pasts, and perhaps most importantly in the long run, why Tyo'to continued to adventure even at risk of death. By the time they parted, something inside Haien had begun to heal. It would be a long road, but it seemed possible he might be on his way to recovery.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; A Saint of a Farmer &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some months later, Haien had developed a habit of selling the various herbs and spices he had collected in a small, weekly market on the outskirts of the Black Shroud. Despite taking place in a town with more market-time visitors than actual residents, it was a surprisingly organized affair, and Haien found himself assigned to a particular booth in the market, rather than free to choose his own location. Fortunately for him, the man who ran the booth beside his was an old midlander who seemed similarly inclined toward silence, and so the two men quickly found each others' presences tolerable enough. In truth, Haien quickly came to like the old man, particularly considering, unlike many people of that age, he never sensed any judgment for his attire or his near silence.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After several months of peaceful coexistance, though, the old man failed to show up one week, being replaced by a boisterous woman who seemed to think she would fall off the face of Eorzea should she ever stop talking. Eager to get rid of her, Haien approached the market's organizers and soon learned that the old man's name was Rothe Cooper, and that he'd failed to file the necessary paperwork that week, and that no one had heard from him since the week prior. Deciding that peace and quiet was well worth involving himself in the affairs of others without being asked, Haien made note of where Rothe's farm was located and decided to pay him a visit.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As it turned out, Rothe's farm was suffering from rodent problems, and Rothe himself was no longer spry enough to solve the problem himself. Haien, on the other hand, proved quite capable of ending the pesky menaces' reign of terror on the Cooper farm, and for his trouble, was hired on as permanent help, since farming was getting more and more taxing on Rothe each day. Over the following months, Haien and Rothe slowly got to know each other, learning each others' histories as they toiled together on the Cooper farm. Though normally tight-lipped about his past, Haien slowly found himself opening up to the man more and more, sharing his story bit by bit as Rothe shared his. Without realizing it, Haien began to regard the man almost as a father, and for his part, Rothe quickly came to see Haien as the son he'd never had. With Rothe's guiding hand and wise advice, the wounds that had festered since S'hozqha's death truly began to heal. It was also during this time that Rothe managed to convince Haien to be more civilized, teaching him proper manners, persuading him to wear real clothing, and to Haien's delight, teaching him to read.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was just as Haien was truly feeling better that old age caught up with Rothe fully, and the man fell deeply ill. Knowing his time had come, and that if Haien stayed, he would likely blame himself for his inability to keep him alive, Rothe gave Haien one final task; to track down his four daughters and provide them news of his passing, as well as what little material wealth he had for them. Haien tried to refuse, but Rothe's insistence won out, and so Haien said his farewells for the last time, setting out on a serach that would take him across Eorzea over the next six months.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The first daughter, Arlette, was easy to find, as she was still living in the Black Shroud, on a farm with her husband and their children. Haien passed along the message and Rothe's package to her, urging her to try and see her old man one last time before the end, then set out to find the second daughter.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The second daughter, Verona, was more difficult to find, and it took him over a month of searching to pick up her trail. He eventually caught up with her and her wife living on the outskirts of the Dravanian Forelands, working with the wild chocobos there. He stayed with them for a time as their guest, before following a lead he'd picked up on the third sister.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After a great deal of hunting and searching, and many dead ends, Haien found Gwendolyn in Wineport, owner of a well-off vineyard. He didn't stay long, however, as she had recently heard from the youngest of Rothe's daughters, Elvina, who had claimed she was joining the Ala Mhigan resistance fighters under the enigmatic Griffin. By the time Haien managed to find Elvina, it was too late, and she had perished in the fight for Baelsar's Wall. Haien took it upon himself to provide a proper service for her, then returned with the news to the other three sisters, briefly all in one place at the Cooper farm. None of the three had any intentions of keeping the estate Rothe had left for them, as all had their own lives elsewhere, and eventually came to the decision to leave it to Haien, as he had clearly become one of the family by that time.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he missed Rothe dearly, Haien was determined to make the most of the farm that was the old man's legacy, and quickly settled back into the farming life, making the most of the second chance at life that so few received.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> !

Not long after the ceremony, a refugee and his family visited Sui-no-Sato seeking aid, only to be turned away by the Ruby Princess. Keiho attempted to supply the family with aid in secret, but was discovered and exiled. Though Sekka's family urged her to forget her husband, she could not turn her back on him, choosing instead fo follow him into exile, rather than lose him forever.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The two fled to Kurogane, where Sekka soon realized she was pregnant. With renewed motivation, she and Keiho sought passage across the seas once it became clear that there was nothing for them in Hingashi. At Sekka's request, they settled far from the sea in the deserts of Ala Mhigo, far from the sights and sounds that brought back painful memories of the family Sekka had left behind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Sooner than she and Keiho were prepared for, Sekka delivered a baby boy who she named after her father, Kazan. Sooner than she would have liked, she was forced to return to work on the family's tiny ranch, strapping Kazan into a basket on her back so that she might keep an eye on him even while she had to work. Every night, after the sun had gone down,<br /> she would tell Kazan stories, sharing worlds of wonder with him, many of which she had thought up while working that day. She continued to tell him stories right up until the day he ran away, unintentionally breaking her heart. Though she and Keiho intended to make every effort to search for their dear Kazan, the Garleans chose that time to invade Ala Mhigo, sending the country into such turmoil that finding his trail was impossible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keiho Shibunuri&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;father&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot; I hope life is treating you well, wherever you and Mother are.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keiho Shibunuri led a peaceful life in the underwater village of Sui-no-Sato for many years, eventually marrying his childhood sweetheart, Sekka. Not long after the ceremony, news of Doma's fall reached Sui-no-Sato — news brought by a refugee; a father seeking shelter for his family, displaced by the Garleans. Though the Ruby Princess turned the man and his family away, refusing to take part in the affairs of outsides, Keiho saw something of himself in the man, and in secret, supplied the man with some small amount of food in hopes it might help. Sadly for him, his aid did not go unnoticed, and he was exiled from Sui-no-Sato. He and Sekko fled the Ruby Sea, unsuccessfully seeking a home in Kurogane. It was there that the two learned Sekka was pregnant with their child, and this knowledge spurred them to take the risk of crossing the sea, for clearly there was no life to be had in Hingashi.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The two made it to Eorzea, and eventually ended up settling in a small village in Ala Mhigo. Soon after, to his great delight, Haien was born, though Keiho had very little time to spare for a newborn, as impoverished as the family was. In truth, he often would come home so late after a hard day's work that he would simply fall asleep, leading to very little interaction between the two. When Haien ran away, he was devastated, but any attempts he might make to locate his missing son were hindered by both his lack of resources, and the invasion of the Garleans soon after.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;DEAR FRIENDS&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;S’hozqha Batih&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Childhood Friend&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; <br /> &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;”I never deserved your friendship, and I repaid you by killing you.

The fight that ensued was the darnedest thing. You'd expect a man to be the worse for wear, and he sure was, but never have seen a man look so *happy* to be battered and bruised and barely able to walk.&quot; &lt;b&gt;-- Barroom Bouncer.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 25px; background:#d11141; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px &quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;◢ Near-Impossible Rumors -&lt;/b&gt; ''You &lt;u&gt;really&lt;/u&gt; need to know the right people for these, and we’d have to work something out in advance for a reason for you to know.''&lt;/div&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&quot;Several years ago, he tried to hire a courtesan once who came specially recommended to him as being very discreet. He asked them to hurt him, and hurt him badly, rather than the normal things a man asks for in such a situation. When they wouldn't, he broke down, gave them their coin, and left in a hurry. I haven't seen him seeking services since.&quot; &lt;b&gt;-- Close-mouthed Courtesan.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&quot;Okeya isn't his real name; it's Shibunuri.

I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

He can frequently be found running a small stall in the markets of Ul'dah filled with freshly picked herbs, though he also fulfills custom and bulk orders on a regular basis. He's a very quiet man for the most part, preferring to keep his own counsel even amongst friends.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;APPEARANCE&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Standing at 7'2&quot; tall, Haien is on the lean side for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. His natural resting expression is a stern one, frequently causing people who don't know him to believe that he is permanently angry. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking &lt;i&gt;proper&lt;/i&gt;, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. Particularly noticeable at first glance is Haien's style of dress -- or perhaps more appropriately, the lack thereof. Most of the time he can be found wearing armor, if you can call it that, that would seem more appropriate to some sort of ancient gladiator, though he insists it's purely for practicality and allows him more freedom of movement. &lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;PERSONALITY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien is quiet and solemn most of the time, particularly in large groups. While in the theatre troupe, the leader was a man who spoke loudly and often without really saying anything at all, and it rubbed Haien the wrong way. He started speaking less and less, and found that he could learn more through being quiet and observing than by filling the air with meaningless chatter. This proved particularly useful when part of the Conjurer's Guild, even if he lacked the natural gift to truly succeed.&lt;/p&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;That said, he's not all silence all the time. He recognizes that, while he's quite content to sit in silence, most people aren't him. When in a 1-on-1 setting, he makes an effort to be as social as he can. He's not great at it, and often comes off as awkward, but he does try to avoid making people uncomfortable.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;He's not without personality -- his emotions are just subtle. His friends have learned that a chuckle from him is the equivalent of a roaring, gut-splitting laugh from most any other man. A wink and a nudge is practically a proposition. A smile is the equivalent of an ear-to-ear grin.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;He doesn't recklessly throw his safety in harm's way for no reason anymore, Haien still isn't wholly healthy, emotionally speaking. He may come to peace with the world by helping people – a practice he views as atonement for his failures – but he still blames himself every minute of every day for S'hozqha's death. If he had just been stronger, or faster, or more persuasive, maybe she would still be alive to grace the world with the smile he loved so dearly.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;But he wasn’t. It’s his fault, at least in his eyes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien's been known to seek out pain or punishment on very low days, particularly if he's had too much to drink. He tries not to make a habit of it, and certainly not in places where the world can see his pain, but every once in a while, he’s been known to relapse into bad habits.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;He doesn't view himself as worthy of good things, and frequently refuses gifts or offers of aide when they come his way, considering it his deserved lot in life to suffer. This frequently causes him to push his friends away during low periods, much as he tries to stay stable.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center; table-layout:fixed&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;LIKES&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;LIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Space.&lt;/b&gt; His friends tend to be the people who understand he sometimes just needs to be alone.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Helping People.&lt;/b&gt; It’s always a temporary fix, but helping people is a band-aid to atone for those he feels he has wronged.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Being out in nature.&lt;/b&gt; Very little is as calming, and next to nothing offers him the serenity that gathering herbs in the wilderness does.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pain.&lt;/b&gt; It serves as both a reminder that he’s still alive when he's feeling empty, and punishment for his perceived failures when he's feeling low.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;DISLIKES&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px;background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;DISLIKES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Himself.&lt;/b&gt; There is next to nothing about himself that Haien finds even &lt;i&gt;tolerable&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loudmouths.&lt;/b&gt; People who talk too much while saying very little are one of Haien’s biggest pet peeves.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Loud, crowded environments&lt;/b&gt; It’s not a severe dislike, and he’s certainly been known to spend his fair share of time in cities, but when practical, he tends to avoid extended periods of time spent in crowded markets and the like.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Standard clothing.&lt;/b&gt; One thing Haien learned about wearing very little armor was that it afforded him far more freedom of movement than just about anything else. Since then, he’s reluctant to don full clothing again, going so far as to say that breathing is nigh impossible in formal attire.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;STRENGTHS&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding:10px 10px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:14px;color:#000000;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;STRENGTHS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Botany.&lt;/b&gt; Need an expensive herb for a good reason, but unable to afford market price?

His parents were refugees to Ala Mhigo, and lived in an impoverished farming town that was barely able to make ends meet. As a baby and on into his early childhood, resources were tight. There was never enough food to go around, and he was often hungry. His parents were clearly miserable -- as was a fair portion of his village. It wasn't a happy life, and everyone around him worked hard for very little results. He became fast friends with a Miqo'te girl named S'hozqha Batih who lived in his village, and the two were nearly inseparable.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Then one day around Haien's fifth nameday, a theatre troupe came through on their travels. They put on show after show, and Haien had never seen the villagers happier. There was actual &lt;i&gt;merriment&lt;/i&gt; on faces he had thought permanently scored with frown lines and weary eyes. It was inspiring, and it came as little wonder that when they left town the next day, S'hozqha went with them, leaving Haien little choice but to follow suit. The young Miqo’te girl quickly found her talent as actress, while Haien preferred to avoid the limelight and work as an extra. He learned to move props and set pieces around unseen, and quickly found he was quite good at it.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Gridania, the Conjurer’s Guild, and the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Almost twelve years later, the troupe found themselves in Eorzea, specifically in Gridania. Their stay there lasted several days, but once more S'hozqha decided a change was needed, and joined the Archer's Guild there. Never one to deny his friend anything, particularly given his budding crush on her, Haien stayed around as well, though he chose to join the Conjurer's Guild instead of picking up the bow.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Sadly, Haien was far from gifted in the way of conjury. His patience and dedication brought him some minor results, but for the amount of work he put into it, he had very little to show in the way of progress. S'hozqha was the opposite. She took to archery like a fish to water, and soon found herself wanting for challenging targets.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;One day, she chanced to hear a rumour about monster in the Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak, and decided that a strong adventurer like herself was what was needed to put them down. She managed to convince Haien to join her, despite his protest and begging that she not try it, and they set off the next day.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;As he had feared, it went badly; worse even than he could possibly have imagined. They were surrounded and overwhelmed by monsters, and their only option was to flee. In the process, S'hozqha was seriously injured. The wound was far too severe for Haien to heal, but she was far too dear to him to just give up on. He poured all his energy into trying to heal her, and the last thing he saw was her faint, weary smile before he collapsed on top of her.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Ul’dah and the beginning of Adventuring &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some time later, he awoke atop her corpse. Distraught, he wandered aimlessly for days, wasting away. Eventually, he wound up in the desert sands nearly Ul'dah, where he finally collapsed from a mix of exhaustion, starvation, and dehydration. A wandering thief mistook him for dead and tried to check him for valuables, but panicked and ran away when he proved slightly more alive than they had hoped. Their surprised shriek drew an adventurer's attention, and they brought him to the Quicksand, where Momodi slowly nursed him back to health.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;The first time he regained consciousness, he seemed confused at first, but when his eyes fell on the sight of his conjurer's garb in the corner of his room, freshly cleaned and repaired, he fell apart. Despite his still weakened state, he started screaming, sobbing, and clawing at his skin, and Momodi had to call for him to be physically restrained before he could seriously hurt himself.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;The next time he came to, it was to a very guarded-looking Momodi, with none of his previous gear in sight. He was informed that he was found wandering in the desert, and (politely) questioned as to his name.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;It was here that he took the name Haien Okeya, chosen based on a minor character in the only story his mother had told him as a child. It was obvious he was lying and avoiding explaining where he had come from, but Momodi accepted it, presumably because she felt he wasn't doing so out of malice. Once he had fully recovered, he started helping her out by doing odd jobs around the Quicksand -- helping deliver goods, prepare food, clean rooms, or just about anything else she asked for, but there was a disconcerting lifelessness to him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt; One day, a party of adventurers came through the Quicksand, and Haien was tasked with helping nurse one of them back to health. The very next day, he came to Momodi and asked her permission to become an adventurer. Pleasantly surprised by his seemingly renewed interest in life, she agreed. She tried to start him off at the local Thaumaturgist's Guild, but he flat-out refused to walk in to a place of magic, as he claimed it was not for him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;They tried the Pugilist's Guild, and he took to it well. He was fast and nimble, and while he may not have been the strongest hitter, his punches were powerful enough to count, and aimed well to bring down his opponents. Another benefit of Pugilist over Thaumaturgist in Haien's mind was that it meant he had to always be near his enemies, and if he came home with a few bruises and scrapes each day, it was merely expected of someone who had to get up close and personal with those trying to kill him.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;As the months went on, cuts and scrapes weren't enough for Haien. He started wearing lighter and lighter armor, frequently quoting the famous Pugilist Hamon Holyfist, who said that wearing less armor allowed them to move more freely. The true reason, of course, was not nearly so clean. Haien felt guilty over S'hozqha's death, and every injury or near death escape was what he felt he deserved. The more punishment, the better, in his eyes.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Momodi watched as he continued down a path of self-destruction, unsure of what she could do. That is, she watched until the day Haien went out to take down a band of bandits single-handedly, without anything but the barest covering of armor. When he limped back victorious, but with three broken ribs, his tail dislocated, a deep gash on his forehead, and his right wrist shattered nearly beyond healing, she came up with an idea born as much out of desperation as anything else.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Limsa Lominsa and the Dutiful Sisters &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;As soon as he had recovered, Momodi sent him to deliver a sealed letter from her to the Dutiful Sisters in Limsa Lominsa. Ever feeling in her debt, Haien obliged, and it was there that he met Jacke.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;He was instantly taken by the Hyur with the strange mannerisms, and when Jacke offered him a place in the Rogue's Guild (probably largely due to Momodi vouching for his natural fit), he could do nothing but accept. Over the next year, he learned the rogue's craft and helped them apprehend various breakers of the Code. All his childhood training in being unseen paid off, as he discovered he was exceptionally skilled in the art of stealth, despite his towering stature.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;It was during this time that he first met others of his kind. During his Rogue's training, he also trained under several Doman ninjas, learning their arts. Frequently he received questions from the more curious Au Ra -- who was this strange Raen with Eorzean mannerisms and customs, and what was his story? Haien learned quickly how to answer without answering, giving just enough substance to satisfy without revealing anything important. He spoke of how he had lived here as a child, grown up as a farmer, though his parents weren't part of the picture. To the family-oriented Domans, this often painted a picture of some familial tragedy -- a line of thinking Haien was not inclined to correct, as it often stopped the curiosity.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Eventually, his time with the Guild was over. He had learned the tricks of their trade, but more importantly, helping keep the Code intact had provided a form of atonement for Haien. He returned to Ul'dah not a completely healed man, but certainly not the broken shell of an Au Ra that had left a year prior.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Post Limsa &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;His time at the Sisters taught him much about herbs, both poisonous and medicinal, and he discovered he also had a knack for collecting them. Whereas many of the other rogues would grow bored doing what they considered a menial job, he enjoyed collecting the plants the Guild needed for its operations.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;When he came back to Ul'dah, he sought out tomes of knowledge on plant life, choosing to become a botanist. He still does normal adventurer work from time to time if there's a job that particularly interests him, but largely, he minds his own business and maintains a steady group of regular customers who frequently attest for the quality and fair prices he offers.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Lion Order &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Recently, Haien's friend Teddy persuaded him to join the free company he was a part of, Lion Order. One day, a chance discussion about summoning led him further on the path of depression. According to Aetheria and Teddy, it was possible to overcome one's aetherial limits (at cost to one's own health and well-being), and to accomplish magical feats one normally couldn't. He excused himself quickly, but it left him shattered once more. Could he really have saved S'hozqha if he had just known a little bit more, or been a little bit stronger?&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Haien would never return to Lion Order after that day. Though he was welcomed with open arms and made a few friends, notably Aetheria Crescent, he never really felt like he fit in, and after that conversation, it would be some time before he faced even his closest friends again, never mind the free company he never truly felt he belonged in.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; Spiraling Downwards &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Thrust once more into a vicious cycle of regret, self-loathing, and self-destructive tendencies, he sought fights in various bars most nights. He hunted creatures far tougher than he could handle. He willingly ventured to the edges of Coerthas for herbs in little clothing, despite the temperature. He was a mess. One night at the Drowned Wench, he stumbled into Kahn'a Ohditra, and their conversation left him reeling and more impulsive than ever. Later that night, he picked a fight that went sour when the pirates pulled swords and firearms on him, and he barely managed to fight them off, leaving him with several broken ribs, bruises all across his entire body, a sprained tail, minor internal bleeding, and various other injuries and ailments. As he was recovering from the beating in a back-alley of Limsa, Kahn'a ran across him again, and the resulting conversation, combined with his injuries, gave him some much-needed perspective.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; The Path to Recovery &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Several days later, after most of the worst of his wounds and bruising had healed, Haien was back to drinking again. This time, however, he encountered J'saato Tia, and in doing so, was distracted from his intentions to fight the night away. The two ventured to Camp Bronze Lake, J'saato for healing in the hot springs located there, and Haien for the healing herb Menphina's Locks which grew nearby. The two talked several times over the next few days, and eventually J'saato gave Haien some friendly advice. The two parted ways once J'saato had healed, with Haien headed back to the deserts of Thanalan to collect herbs as a pretense, when he truly just needed to be alone and think.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately for him, fate had other ideas in mind. While staying for several days in Camp Drybone, he ran into Tyo'to Kaatapoh, an irritating, gossip-loving, braggart, and was roped into a dagger-throwing contest to try and wipe the smirk off the Miqo'te's face. It quickly became apparent that the two were evenly matched, and Tyo'to brought Haien to see a merchant who was offered a grand reward for the return of his stolen goods. Haien begrudgingly accepted the quest -- he was glad to help, but reluctant to spend more time than absolutely necessary with the chatty Tyo'to. The two made it to the missing caravan after a few days' travel, only to discover it was a trap, with an encampment of slavers ambushing them. They managed to fight their way out and escape, but Tyo'to was gravely wounded.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;In an act of desperation, not wanting history to repeat itself, Haien brought Tyo'to to the edges of the South Shroud, where he called on the elements to save Tyo'to's life. To Haien's great surprise, it worked, and while Tyo'to was far from healthy, Haien had managed to heal him enough through Conjury that his knowledge of herbs and practical medicine could bring him the rest of the way back to health. They spent several days in the wilds while Tyo'to recovered, having several long conversations about their motivations, their pasts, and perhaps most importantly in the long run, why Tyo'to continued to adventure even at risk of death. By the time they parted, something inside Haien had begun to heal. It would be a long road, but it seemed possible he might be on his way to recovery.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:2px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt; A Saint of a Farmer &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;p&gt;Some months later, Haien had developed a habit of selling the various herbs and spices he had collected in a small, weekly market on the outskirts of the Black Shroud. Despite taking place in a town with more market-time visitors than actual residents, it was a surprisingly organized affair, and Haien found himself assigned to a particular booth in the market, rather than free to choose his own location.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Fortunately for him, the man who ran the booth beside his was an old midlander who seemed similarly inclined toward silence, and so the two men quickly found each others' presenses tolerable enough. In truth, Haien quickly came to like the old man, particularly considering, unlike many people of that age, he never sensed any judgment for his attire or his silence.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After several months of peaceful coexistance, though, the old man failed to show up one week, being replaced by a boisterous woman who seemed to think she would fall off the face of Eorzea should she ever stop talking. Eager to get rid of her, Haien approached the market's organizers and soon learned that the old man's name was Rothe Cooper, and that he'd failed to file the necessary paperwork that week, and that no one had heard from him since the week prior. Deciding that peace and quiet was well worth involving himself in the affairs of others without being asked, Haien made note of where Rothe's farm was located and decided to pay him a visit.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;As it turned out, Rothe's farm was suffering from rodent problems, and Rothe himself was no longer spry enough to solve the problem himself. Haien, on the other hand, proved quite capable of ending the pesky menaces' reign of terror on the Cooper farm, and for his trouble, was hired on as permanent help, since farming was getting more and more taxing on Rothe each day.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Over the following months, Haien and Rothe slowly got to know each other, learning each others' histories as they toiled together on the Cooper farm. Though normally tight-lipped about his past, Haien slowly found himself opening up to the man more and more, sharing his story bit by bit as Rothe shared his. Without realizing it, Haien began to regard the man almost as a father, and for his part, Rothe quickly came to see Haien as the son he'd never had. With Rothe's guiding hand and wise advice, the wounds that had festered since S'hozqha's death truly began to heal. It was also during this time that Rothe managed to convince Haien to be more civilized, teaching him proper manners, persuading him to wear real clothing, and to Haien's delight, teaching him to read.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;It was just as Haien was truly feeling better that old age caught up with Rothe fully, and the man fell deeply ill. Knowing his time had come, and that if Haien stayed, he would likely blame himself for his inability to keep him alive, Rothe gave Haien one final task; to track down his four daughters and provide them news of his passing, as well as what little material wealth he had for them. Haien tried to refuse, but Rothe's insistence won out, and so Haien said his farewells for the last time, setting out on a serach that would take him across Eorzea over the next six months.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The first daughter, Arlette, was easy to find, as she was still living in the Black Shroud, on a farm with her husband and their children. Haien passed along the message and Rothe's package to her, urging her to try and see her old man one last time before the end, then set out to find the second daughter.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The second daughter, Verona, was more difficult to find, and it took him over a month of searcging to pick up her trail. He eventually caught up with her and her wife living on the outskirts of the Dravanian Forelands, working with the wild chocobos there. He stayed with them for a time as their guest, before following a lead he'd picked up on the third sister.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;After a great deal of hunting and searching, and many dead ends, Haien found Gwendolyn in Wineport, owner of a well-off vineyard. He didn't stay long, however, as she had recently heard from the youngest of Rothe's daughters, Elvina, who had claiked she was joining the Ala Mhigan resistance fighters under the enigmatic Griffin.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;By the time Haien managed to find Elvina, it was too late, and she had perished in the fight for Baelsar's Wall. Haien took it upon himself to provide a proper service for her, then returned with the news to the other three sisters, briefly all in one place at the Cooper farm. None of the three had any intentions of keeping the estate Rothe had left for them, as all had their own lives elsewhere, and eventually came to the decision to leave it to Haien, as he had clearly become one of the family as well by that time.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Though he missed Rothe dearly, Haien was determined to make the most of the farm that was the old man's legacy, and quickly settled back into the farming life, making the most of the second chance at life that so few received.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> =Relationships=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;RELATIONSHIPS&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 60%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> | &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Romantic Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Physical Attraction &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; Platonic Love &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#CD950C;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;$&lt;/font&gt; Business &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; Deceased &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; Positive &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#C24640;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✖&lt;/font&gt; Negative &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; Neutral &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔃&lt;/font&gt; Unsure &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;–&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; Trust<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;FAMILY&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are mostly backstory-related relationships, be they blood-related family otherwise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;BLOOD RELATIVES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;!--You can add new entries below this line--&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> !

Not long after the ceremony, a refugee and his family visited Sui-no-Sato seeking aid, only to be turned away by the Ruby Princess. Keiho attempted to supply the family with aid in secret, but was discovered and exiled. Though Sekka's family urged her to forget her husband, she could not turn her back on him, choosing instead fo follow him into exile, rather than lose him forever.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The two fled to Kurogane, where Sekka soon realized she was pregnant. With renewed motivation, she and Keiho sought passage across the seas once it became clear that there was nothing for them in Hingashi. At Sekka's request, they settled far from the sea in the deserts of Ala Mhigo, far from the sights and sounds that brought back painful memories of the family Sekka had left behind.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;Sooner than she and Keiho were prepared for, Sekka delivered a baby boy who she named after her father, Kazan. Sooner than she would have liked, she was forced to return to work on the family's tiny ranch, strapping Kazan into a basket on her back so that she might keep an eye on him even while she had to work. Every night, after the sun had gone down,<br /> she would tell Kazan stories, sharing worlds of wonder with him, many of which she had thought up while working that day. She continued to tell him stories right up until the day he ran away, unintentionally breaking her heart. Though she and Keiho intended to make every effort to search for their dear Kazan, the Garleans chose that time to invade Ala Mhigo, sending the country into such turmoil that finding his trail was impossible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keiho Shibunuri&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;father&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6b6e72;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;●&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot; I hope life is treating you well, wherever you and Mother are.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keiho Shibunuri led a peaceful life in the underwater village of Sui-no-Sato for many years, eventually marrying his childhood sweetheart, Sekka. Not long after the ceremony, news of Doma's fall reached Sui-no-Sato — news brought by a refugee; a father seeking shelter for his family, displaced by the Garleans. Though the Ruby Princess turned the man and his family away, refusing to take part in the affairs of outsides, Keiho saw something of himself in the man, and in secret, supplied the man with some small amount of food in hopes it might help. Sadly for him, his aid did not go unnoticed, and he was exiled from Sui-no-Sato. He and Sekko fled the Ruby Sea, unsuccessfully seeking a home in Kurogane. It was there that the two learned Sekka was pregnant with their child, and this knowledge spurred them to take the risk of crossing the sea, for clearly there was no life to be had in Hingashi.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;The two made it to Eorzea, and eventually ended up settling in a small village in Ala Mhigo. Soon after, to his great delight, Haien was born, though Keiho had very little time to spare for a newborn, as impoverished as the family was. In truth, he often would come home so late after a hard day's work that he would simply fall asleep, leading to very little interaction between the two. When Haien ran away, he was devastated, but any attempts he might make to locate his missing son were hindered by both his lack of resources, and the invasion of the Garleans soon after.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable alphabetical&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #ffcc5c; color: #ffffff;&quot;<br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:12px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;B&gt;DEAR FRIENDS&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- style=&quot;background-color: #d9dee6;&quot;<br /> |<br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle; text-align: left;&quot;<br /> ! &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;S’hozqha Batih&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Childhood Friend&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;(&lt;/b&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#F02311;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#FA70BC;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;♥&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;❖&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#6B8E23;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;✔&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style=&quot;color:#c5a541;&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;🔒&lt;/font&gt; <br /> &lt;b&gt;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> |- <br /> | &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px; font-variant:small-caps;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Haien’s Thoughts:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;”I never deserved your friendship, and I repaid you by killing you.

It’s also led to a few misunderstandings, though he’s usually quick to head those people off.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =OOC Notes=<br /> <br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;ABOUT THE PLAYER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> &lt;p&gt;I am a mid-20’s man living with his cat in the mid-western United States on a sleep schedule that only some sort of crazed psychic would be able to predict. I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately.&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trigger Warnings.&lt;/b&gt; I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. &lt;b&gt;Specifically in regards to Haien&lt;/b&gt;, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am not a mental health professional.&lt;/b&gt; My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs.&lt;/b&gt; I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I AFK in-game &lt;i&gt;frequently&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I also enjoy PVE content.&lt;/b&gt; Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone.&lt;/b&gt; This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;General&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #FFBA3F;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;GUIDELINES&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; <br /> <br /> Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL NOT&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL NOT...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in sexually explicit situations.&lt;/b&gt; I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Partake in &lt;i&gt;detailed&lt;/i&gt; violence IC.&lt;/b&gt; I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;p&gt;<br /> &lt;div align=center&gt;&lt;table style=&quot;position:center;&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td style=&quot;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;I WILL&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #ffcc5c;font-size:16px;color:#000000; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px grey;letter-spacing:0.2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;'''I WILL...'''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #e0e2e5;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Abide by logical headcanons.&lt;/b&gt; If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px 10px; background: #eeeeee;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of thing to keep in mind.&lt;/b&gt; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
