=== Biography ===

====A Blind Bastard ====
Rinnji was born thirteen years before the 7th Umbral Calamity to Lord Renee Larioux, Lord of the House Larioux, and his House's servant, the Duskwight Celie Beaumont. Despite being born a bastard and utterly blind from a defect in the womb, Rinnji was legitimized by her father as she was his first male-born child, after twelve trueborn daughters, from four different wives. Embarrassed by this, but unable to do much to sway her Lord husband, Renee's fifth, and childless, wife sent Celie away after only a few weeks with her child, and paid the young Rinnji little heed thereafter, except for contempt. Blind, different, and motherless, Rinnji's life might have been a tragic one; Yet she was still the would-be Lord of the ancient Ishgardian House Larioux, and despite these initial setbacks, grew up in a life of privilege compared to those all the way in the Brume. Tutors in music, speech, literature, all were given over to the young Lordling as she grew. While not affectionate toward her, she was Renee's one and only heir, and he being a man entering the twilight of his life, most certainly the last child he'd ever have, and so she wanted for nothing... At least, as far as an education was concerned.

====Ser Derek the Bold ====
In spite of her setbacks, Rinnji grew into a willful child. Only after knowing the dark world of the blind, and ever the fearless youth, Rinnji would set out exploring House Larioux's castle grounds under cover of night. Though in truth, the guardsmen knew full well what she was doing and preferred to let her carry on with it, lest they restrict her and she work harder to elude their watchful eyes in the future. But despite these best intentions, one winter's eve, during the bitter chill of the 6th Umbral Moon, Rinnji slipped beyond the castle boundaries and into the blizzard which threatened to swallow all of Coerthas. Lost and suddenly struck with fear, Rinnji tried her best to find her way back to her home, but only wandered further. Realizing the heir was missing, the Guardsmen were sent out to find Rinnji with all haste. But it was not a guard who eventually found Rinnji, but an adolescent male unicorn. He brought Rinnji back within the castle walls, and prevented all from going near her. Even as she set warming up at a hearth indoors, the unicorn stood sentinel outside. Unicorns, powerful and magic creatures who are weary of boys and men, don't often come to the aid of any but young girls. Still thinking Rinnji as the male heir and Lordling, the Retainers of House Larioux were stunned by this showing of dedication from the young unicorn. It was decided, after trying their best to remove the unicorn from the castle grounds with no luck, that Rinnji would be allowed to keep him, provided she learned from the stablemaster on how to keep a beast a burden. She eagerly agreed. She named him Ser Derek the Bold, after a favorite story her nursemaid often told her. And since, ever has Ser Derek been her closest companion.[[File:Serderekthebold.png|thumb|left|Ser Derek escorting Rinnji through Gyr Abania.]]

====The Witchdoctor's Cure ====
On the 31st Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon, House Larioux's Guardsmen caught a Duskwight traveler on the outskirts of their lands. Accused of performing strange magicks, he was brought before Lord Renee Larioux for judgment. But Lord Renee Larioux decided not to give the Witchdoctor over to the Ishgardian Temple Knights when the traveler knew about his heir's blindness, the identity of the heir's mother, and claimed to have a way that the Lordling might finally see. Thinking the Witchdoctor meant a cure, Lord Larioux spared the traveler his life, under the condition that he remain within the castle grounds until his heir's condition had improved. Rinnji met Morassii the Witchdoctor the following day, and rather than fix her eyes so that she might see with them - something, he assured her, no magic could do - he instead began to instruct her in Geomancy, Conjurery, and the Language of the Elements. The truth was that Morassii was an order of secret Duskwight practitioners of White Magic. And through his instruction, and Rinnji's surprising magical aptitude (surprising to Rinnji that is - not Morassii), she could soon speak the elements and sense within them their aether. For three years, Morassii taught the teenaged Rinnji. When she began to present as a young Lady instead of a young Lord, he encouraged it. When she wanted to take a new name, he gifted her an ancient Duskwight one. When she wanted to take Ser Derek for a ride outside the castle grounds so he might stretch his legs, he covered for them both. Morassii was like a grandfather to her. Strict in some ways, but kindly, wise, and silly in most others. When finally Rinnji could use her mastery of aether and element to describe objects several rooms away after Morassii had rearranged their order, did he finally decide her training was complete. With his contract complete and a tearful goodbye, Morassii Beaumont made his way back into the wilds, leaving the 15 year old Rinnji alone in her castle once again. But now she was fuller and more whole than she had ever been.

====Chalet Loup de Mer ====
At age 17, four years after the Calamity, and two after Morassii had left House Larioux, Rinnji had had enough of the expectations of Lordship thrust upon her since before she could speak. Over the years, she and her father had disagreed on much. And as she grew and was made to present as the future Lord Larioux more and more often, did Rinnji begin to resent the nobility and their smug, pliant voices, and gormless, self-important faces. The evening of her 17th Nameday celebration, she and her father had a spat on front of all the Lords and Ladies in attendance, when Rinnji publically rejected the name given to her by Lord Larioux, and told all of the name she had taken from Morassii. Lady Rinnji Larioux would be all she would respond to, from here on. But even after her public declaration and several blow ups with her Lord Father, Rinnji realized that there was no place for her here, in Coerthas, even as the Lady of House Larioux. Packing what she needed, she and Ser Derek road south for Ishgard.

==== '''Behavior''': ====

[[File:Hokidokibattle.png|thumb|right|When battling a foe, Hokujin opts to outlast rather than outmatch.]]

Hokujin is a kind enough bloke. He can be loud, single minded, oft simple, and indeed reckless, but he is always willing to lend his aid to anyone who needs, and makes friends easily. He's always challenging himself, loves a good fight, and keeps strict watch over his physical health with rigorous training and diet. He is loyal to a fault and has a keen eye for bullshit.



==== '''Abilities''':  ====



He is well practiced with a sword and shield, and has a practical understanding of hand-to-hand combat. But his strength lies not in doing damage, but in taking hits. Possessing no magical ability and only average martial prowess, Hokujin prefers to take the brunt of the abuse for his allies, fighting defensively rather than offensively.

=== Relationships ===

==== '''Family:''' ====

*Arthur "Artie" Dunkle (Deceased): Hokujin's father, a Highlander mechanic and inventor who was born and raised in [[Garlemald]], but left for Eorzea as an adult, hoping to use his mechanical knowledge for good. From there he moved to Halatali in Eastern Thanalan, where he met Hokujin's mother. The two courted for ten years before marriage, and we inseparable. But due to her tragic death, Arthur raised Hokujin as a single parent.

*Annabelle Dunkle (Deceased): Hokujin's mother, a Midlander Alchemist from Ul'dah who moved out to Halatali to aid their gladiators with her alchemical skills. She died of a mysterious illness shortly after giving birth to her only child, Hokujin. She gave him his rather peculiar name.

*[[Kitaeru "Kitty" Nunoji]]: Hokujin's 12-year older cousin. She encouraged his love of the fighting arts when he was a young child, and they often spent many evenings watching the Gladiators of Halatali train and compete. When the Garlean's invaded Eorzea, she became a [[Marauder]] of the [[Immortal Flames]], as is a surviving soldier of [[Carteneau]]. She has since joined Hokujin in the Free Company, The Venture Association.

*Samuel "Spinebreaker" Dunkle (Deceased): Hokujin's grandfather, who was a legendary Garlean [[pugilist]]. So large he was, even for a Highlander, that the rumor that he was part [[Roegadyn]] persisted his whole life. He gained the name Spinebreaker because of his simple yet brutally efficient fighting techniques. But Samuel shocked everyone by retiring from battle in the midst of his prime to start a family. He was only violent one other time - when his family escaped from Garlemald. He died when Hokujin was 3.

*Andromeda Dunkle Nunoji: Hokujin's eldest Aunt, Arthur's older sister, and Kitaeru's mother. A haughty weaver, it is because of her that the bulk of the family didn't remain in Halatali with Artie and Annabelle, preferring the more "cultured" atmosphere of Ul'dah. She still lives there now, weaving gowns for only the most exclusive clients. She was married to a rifleman named Nicolas Nunoji, who divorced her a few years before dying in the battle of Carteneau.

*Julia Dunkle: Hokujin's youngest aunt, and Arthur's younger sister. She was a quiet daydreamer who never could hold a job or take up any real interest other than storytelling and writing. After leaving Garlemald for Ul'dah, she became even less willing to conform to the norms of society, and the story goes that she ran off across the ocean with a Lalafell woman who she had been dating.

==== '''Friends:''' ====

*[[K'ailia Yohko]]: Former Headmaster of the Ul'dah Garden, now a founding member of Hokujin's Free Company, The Venture Association.

*[[Ambie Lapin]]: His former roommate at Ul'dah Garden, Ambie is fiercely loyal to him even when others doubt him. Also a founding member of The Venture Association.

*[[Tyerial Oendrake]]: A Duskwight Bard who makes his living by adventuring, who has joined up with The Venture Association.

*[[Jael Montfort]]: A Hyur Highlander Sultansworn who reached out to Hokujin to show her the ways of the Free Paladin. She also has joined TVA.

*[[Ser Billiam]]: A unicorn from Coerthas who loves mature women rather than young maidens. He serves as Hokujin's mount and constant companion.

*[[H'allabi Bamu]]: The Eyes and Ears of Ul'dah. Hokujin's business associate and occasional partner in private enterprises.

*[[Emma Shepard]]: Another of the Venture Association, this Junior Conjurer has been taken under Hokujin's wing to learn the ways of adventuring.

*[[Zethie Aldis]]: K'ailia's boyfriend and friend of Hokujin and the Venture Association. He once helped break a spell that had turned Hokujin into a Siren's zombie love slave.

==== '''Rumors:''' ====

'''Common Rumors (Easily overheard):'''
*"Hokigen Dojo? What kind of name is that?"
*"Nice enough lad. Always running around Thanalan. Never looks tired, though."
*"He asked my sister out on a date just the other day! And she's betrothed! Y'know what he said? 'Leave your ring at home' - Nerve of that guy!"

'''Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear):'''
*"Nice hair, nice body."
*"The attention span of a bloody twelve year old."
*"I once saw him break a boulder in half with his head!"

'''Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard):'''
*"He nearly died during the Calamity, rescuing those children. My daughter owes her life to him. Great man."
*"I'd gotten in bad with some loan sharks trying to feed my family. They came around to my place in Drybone, and were about to cut into my arm to leave me a 'reminder'. Hokujin came to my rescue and took the cut for me. Nasty gash, sure it scarred deep. I didn't even have enough means to repay him..."
*"My sister had gotten a little too tipsy one night out with friends - as young ones are wont to do, y'know? - anyway, gang of thugs decides they can take advantage of her. They get as far as grabbing her shirt when Hokujin, in the dead of night mind you, leaps out of the shadows in naught but his night clothes and beats the thugs into a bloody pulp, ties 'em up outside the Immortal Flames office, then takes my sister home! I can't tell if he's a guardian angel or some kind of monster..."

'''Player Character Rumors (If you want to share one, feel free)'''
*"His cat, Professor Speckles, seems to like to curl up right in his face as he sleeps. It's almost as if the poor thing is afraid he'll freeze to death in the night..." - [[Ambie Lapin]]

=== History ===

==== '''Early Childhood''' ====

Hokujin was born 21 years before the Calamity, on the 13th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon in Halatali, to Artie and Annabelle Dunkle. Annabelle had contracted a strange illness a month before that she had been struggling to fight off, but died shortly after giving birth to a two-weeks premature Hokujin. Hoku was raised by his father and the other people of Halatali, many of which he was quite close with.

[[File:Artiesmall.png|thumb|left|Hokujin's father, Arthur "Artie" Dunkle.]]
Apart from his many friends, his favorite part about growing up in Halatali was watching the Gladiatorial bouts. He watched brave warriors tackle incredible odds and even more incredible monsters and a spark was ignited inside of Hokujin.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

As the sky split open and fire rained down about the people of Halatali, sending the town into a ruin of which it would never recover, Hokujin and his father did their best to organize the citizens and help them escape to Camp Drybone for shelter. Arthur died as the town crumbled around him, rescuing people from the rubble. Hokujin nearly died himself, as a vicious stone golem managed to escape from the gladiatorial cages during the chaos, and came after the group of children Hokujin was escorting to Camp Drybone. Hokujin fought the brute bare-handed, wrestling it into submission after a brutal fight that left Hokujin with disfiguring facial scars on the left side of his face. But none of the children were harmed.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

Hokujin spent much of the time after the Calamity in Camp Drybone. While many of the Halatali refugees spread throughout Thanalan and Ul'dah, Hokujin had no family, no home, no place to go, so in Drybone he remained. He had a tryst with an older woman during this time - a widow of the Calamity - but their difference in age led to complications and they broke up. During this time, Hokujin became a miner, privately owning his own small-scale mining operation, specializing in non-precious metals and gems. This trade eventually led him to the Silver Bazaar, where fate would have him meet K'ailia Yohko, newly appointed Headmaster of the Ul'dah Garden. She plucked Hokujin from obscurity and set him into the big city of Ul'dah, where Hokujin finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a Gladiator. He then began acting as K'ailia's personal guard.

[[File:Hokidokidoki.png|thumb|left|Hokujin, while a member of Ul'dah Garden.]]

Then, the deadly Magi known as the Plaguebringer began to attack Ul'dah Garden. Although Hokujin, K'ailia, Ambie, and the others managed to defeat him, he destroyed their school in the process, and began an anarchy in the school's ranks that would cause the three friends to leave the Garden and go their separate ways. Hokujin spent the intervening Moons training in Ul'dah under the Sultansworn, determined to become a Free Paladin and never allow his friends to be attacked again. After his training was complete, Hokujin met with [[Master Gegeruju]] of [[Costa del Sol]], an eccentric Gillianaire who had taken to the young adventurer. Seeking to fund a group of adventurers of his own, he recruited Hokujin to start the Free Company The Venture Association. Ambie Lapin and K'ailia Yohko have joined Hokujin in this venture.

Annabelle had contracted a strange illness a month before that she had been struggling to fight off, but died shortly after giving birth to a two-weeks premature Hokujin. Hoku was raised by his father and the other people of Halatali, many of which he was quite close with.

[[File:Artiesmall.png|thumb|left|Hokujin's father, Arthur "Artie" Dunkle.]]
Apart from his many friends, his favorite part about growing up in Halatali was watching the Gladiatorial bouts. He watched brave warriors tackle incredible odds and even more incredible monsters and a spark was ignited inside of Hokujin.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

As the sky split open and fire rained down about the people of Halatali, sending the town into a ruin of which it would never recover, Hokujin and his father did their best to organize the citizens and help them escape to Camp Drybone for shelter. Arthur died as the town crumbled around him, rescuing people from the rubble. Hokujin nearly died himself, as a vicious stone golem managed to escape from the gladiatorial cages during the chaos, and came after the group of children Hokujin was escorting to Camp Drybone. Hokujin fought the brute bare-handed, wrestling it into submission after a brutal fight that left Hokujin with disfiguring facial scars on the left side of his face. But none of the children were harmed.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

Hokujin spent much of the time after the Calamity in Camp Drybone. While many of the Halatali refugees spread throughout Thanalan and Ul'dah, Hokujin had no family, no home, no place to go, so in Drybone he remained. He had a tryst with an older woman during this time - a widow of the Calamity - but their difference in age led to complications and they broke up. During this time, Hokujin became a miner, privately owning his own small-scale mining operation, specializing in non-precious metals and gems. This trade eventually led him to the Silver Bazaar, where fate would have him meet K'ailia Yohko, newly appointed Headmaster of the Ul'dah Garden. She plucked Hokujin from obscurity and set him into the big city of Ul'dah, where Hokujin finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a Gladiator. He then began acting as K'ailia's personal guard.

[[File:Hokidokidoki.png|thumb|left|Hokujin, while a member of Ul'dah Garden.]]

Then, the deadly Magi known as the Plaguebringer began to attack Ul'dah Garden. Although Hokujin, K'ailia, Ambie, and the others managed to defeat him, he destroyed their school in the process, and began an anarchy in the school's ranks that would cause the three friends to leave the Garden and go their separate ways. Hokujin spent the intervening Moons training in Ul'dah under the Sultansworn, determined to become a Free Paladin and never allow his friends to be attacked again. After his training was complete, Hokujin met with [[Master Gegeruju]] of [[Costa del Sol]], an eccentric Gillianaire who had taken to the young adventurer. Seeking to fund a group of adventurers of his own, he recruited Hokujin to start the Free Company The Venture Association. Ambie Lapin and K'ailia Yohko have joined Hokujin in this venture.

=== Character ===

==== '''General''': ====

'''Full Name:''' Hokujin Doujin

'''Pronunciation:''' Ho Ku Jin Dough Jin

'''Birthplace:''' Halatali, Eastern Thanalan

'''Current Residence:''' La Noscea

'''Relationship Status:''' Single

'''Religion:''' Althyk, the Keeper

==== '''Appearance''': ====

'''Build:''' Muscular and chiseled.

'''Skin Color:''' Pale, yet tans well.

'''Eye Color:''' Bright blue.

'''Hair Color:''' Brown

'''General Clothing Style:''' Simple, form fitted clothing with exposed muscles, or heavy plated armor.

'''Voice:''' Abrupt and jovial.

==== '''Behavior''': ====

[[File:Hokidokibattle.png|thumb|right|When battling a foe, Hokujin opts to outlast rather than outmatch.]]

Hokujin is a kind enough bloke. He can be loud, single minded, oft simple, and indeed reckless, but he is always willing to lend his aid to anyone who needs, and makes friends easily. He's always challenging himself, loves a good fight, and keeps strict watch over his physical health with rigorous training and diet. He is loyal to a fault and has a keen eye for bullshit.



==== '''Abilities''':  ====



He is well practiced with a sword and shield, and has a practical understanding of hand-to-hand combat. But his strength lies not in doing damage, but in taking hits. Possessing no magical ability and only average martial prowess, Hokujin prefers to take the brunt of the abuse for his allies, fighting defensively rather than offensively.

----

=== Relationships ===

==== '''Family:''' ====

*Arthur "Artie" Dunkle (Deceased): Hokujin's father, a Highlander mechanic and inventor who was born and raised in [[Garlemald]], but left for Eorzea as an adult, hoping to use his mechanical knowledge for good. From there he moved to Halatali in Eastern Thanalan, where he met Hokujin's mother. The two courted for ten years before marriage, and we inseparable. But due to her tragic death, Arthur raised Hokujin as a single parent.

*Annabelle Dunkle (Deceased): Hokujin's mother, a Midlander Alchemist from Ul'dah who moved out to Halatali to aid their gladiators with her alchemical skills. She died of a mysterious illness shortly after giving birth to her only child, Hokujin. She gave him his rather peculiar name.

*[[Kitaeru "Kitty" Nunoji]]: Hokujin's 12-year older cousin. She encouraged his love of the fighting arts when he was a young child, and they often spent many evenings watching the Gladiators of Halatali train and compete. When the Garlean's invaded Eorzea, she became a [[Marauder]] of the [[Immortal Flames]], as is a surviving soldier of [[Carteneau]]. She has since joined Hokujin in the Free Company, The Venture Association.

*Samuel "Spinebreaker" Dunkle (Deceased): Hokujin's grandfather, who was a legendary Garlean [[pugilist]]. So large he was, even for a Highlander, that the rumor that he was part [[Roegadyn]] persisted his whole life. He gained the name Spinebreaker because of his simple yet brutally efficient fighting techniques. But Samuel shocked everyone by retiring from battle in the midst of his prime to start a family. He was only violent one other time - when his family escaped from Garlemald. He died when Hokujin was 3.

*Andromeda Dunkle Nunoji: Hokujin's eldest Aunt, Arthur's older sister, and Kitaeru's mother. A haughty weaver, it is because of her that the bulk of the family didn't remain in Halatali with Artie and Annabelle, preferring the more "cultured" atmosphere of Ul'dah. She still lives there now, weaving gowns for only the most exclusive clients. She was married to a rifleman named Nicolas Nunoji, who divorced her a few years before dying in the battle of Carteneau.

*Julia Dunkle: Hokujin's youngest aunt, and Arthur's younger sister. She was a quiet daydreamer who never could hold a job or take up any real interest other than storytelling and writing. After leaving Garlemald for Ul'dah, she became even less willing to conform to the norms of society, and the story goes that she ran off across the ocean with a Lalafell woman who she had been dating.

==== '''Friends:''' ====

*[[K'ailia Yohko]]: Former Headmaster of the Ul'dah Garden, now a founding member of Hokujin's Free Company, The Venture Association.

*[[Ambie Lapin]]: His former roommate at Ul'dah Garden, Ambie is fiercely loyal to him even when others doubt him. Also a founding member of The Venture Association.

*[[Tyerial Oendrake]]: A Duskwight Bard who makes his living by adventuring, who has joined up with The Venture Association.

*[[Jael Montfort]]: A Hyur Highlander Sultansworn who reached out to Hokujin to show her the ways of the Free Paladin. She also has joined TVA.

*[[Ser Billiam]]: A unicorn from Coerthas who loves mature women rather than young maidens. He serves as Hokujin's mount and constant companion.

*[[H'allabi Bamu]]: The Eyes and Ears of Ul'dah. Hokujin's business associate and occasional partner in private enterprises.

*[[Emma Shepard]]: Another of the Venture Association, this Junior Conjurer has been taken under Hokujin's wing to learn the ways of adventuring.

*[[Zethie Aldis]]: K'ailia's boyfriend and friend of Hokujin and the Venture Association. He once helped break a spell that had turned Hokujin into a Siren's zombie love slave.

==== '''Rumors:''' ====

'''Common Rumors (Easily overheard):'''
*"Hokigen Dojo? What kind of name is that?"
*"Nice enough lad. Always running around Thanalan. Never looks tired, though."
*"He asked my sister out on a date just the other day! And she's betrothed! Y'know what he said? 'Leave your ring at home' - Nerve of that guy!"

'''Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear):'''
*"Nice hair, nice body."
*"The attention span of a bloody twelve year old."
*"I once saw him break a boulder in half with his head!"

'''Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard):'''
*"He nearly died during the Calamity, rescuing those children. My daughter owes her life to him. Great man."
*"I'd gotten in bad with some loan sharks trying to feed my family. They came around to my place in Drybone, and were about to cut into my arm to leave me a 'reminder'. Hokujin came to my rescue and took the cut for me. Nasty gash, sure it scarred deep. I didn't even have enough means to repay him..."
*"My sister had gotten a little too tipsy one night out with friends - as young ones are wont to do, y'know? - anyway, gang of thugs decides they can take advantage of her. They get as far as grabbing her shirt when Hokujin, in the dead of night mind you, leaps out of the shadows in naught but his night clothes and beats the thugs into a bloody pulp, ties 'em up outside the Immortal Flames office, then takes my sister home! I can't tell if he's a guardian angel or some kind of monster..."

'''Player Character Rumors (If you want to share one, feel free)'''
*"His cat, Professor Speckles, seems to like to curl up right in his face as he sleeps. It's almost as if the poor thing is afraid he'll freeze to death in the night..." - [[Ambie Lapin]]

==== '''Rumors:''' ====

'''Common Rumors (Easily overheard):'''
*"Hokigen Dojo? What kind of name is that?"
*"Nice enough lad. Always running around Thanalan. Never looks tired, though."
*"He asked my sister out on a date just the other day! And she's betrothed! Y'know what he said? 'Leave your ring at home' - Nerve of that guy!"

'''Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear):'''
*"Nice hair, nice body."
*"The attention span of a bloody twelve year old."
*"I once saw him break a boulder in half with his head!"

'''Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard):'''
*"He nearly died during the Calamity, rescuing those children. My daughter owes her life to him. Great man."
*"I'd gotten in bad with some loan sharks trying to feed my family. They came around to my place in Drybone, and were about to cut into my arm to leave me a 'reminder'. Hokujin came to my rescue and took the cut for me. Nasty gash, sure it scarred deep. I didn't even have enough means to repay him..."
*"My sister had gotten a little too tipsy one night out with friends - as young ones are wont to do, y'know? - anyway, gang of thugs decides they can take advantage of her. They get as far as grabbing her shirt when Hokujin, in the dead of night mind you, leaps out of the shadows in naught but his night clothes and beats the thugs into a bloody pulp, ties 'em up outside the Immortal Flames office, then takes my sister home! I can't tell if he's a guardian angel or some kind of monster..."

'''Player Character Rumors (If you want to share one, feel free)'''
*"His cat, Professor Speckles, seems to like to curl up right in his face as he sleeps. It's almost as if the poor thing is afraid he'll freeze to death in the night..." - [[Ambie Lapin]]

=== History ===

==== '''Early Childhood''' ====

Hokujin was born 21 years before the Calamity, on the 13th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon in Halatali, to Artie and Annabelle Dunkle. Annabelle had contracted a strange illness a month before that she had been struggling to fight off, but died shortly after giving birth to a two-weeks premature Hokujin. Hoku was raised by his father and the other people of Halatali, many of which he was quite close with.

[[File:Artiesmall.png|thumb|left|Hokujin's father, Arthur "Artie" Dunkle.]]
Apart from his many friends, his favorite part about growing up in Halatali was watching the Gladiatorial bouts. He watched brave warriors tackle incredible odds and even more incredible monsters and a spark was ignited inside of Hokujin.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

As the sky split open and fire rained down about the people of Halatali, sending the town into a ruin of which it would never recover, Hokujin and his father did their best to organize the citizens and help them escape to Camp Drybone for shelter. Arthur died as the town crumbled around him, rescuing people from the rubble. Hokujin nearly died himself, as a vicious stone golem managed to escape from the gladiatorial cages during the chaos, and came after the group of children Hokujin was escorting to Camp Drybone. Hokujin fought the brute bare-handed, wrestling it into submission after a brutal fight that left Hokujin with disfiguring facial scars on the left side of his face. But none of the children were harmed.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

Hokujin spent much of the time after the Calamity in Camp Drybone. While many of the Halatali refugees spread throughout Thanalan and Ul'dah, Hokujin had no family, no home, no place to go, so in Drybone he remained. He had a tryst with an older woman during this time - a widow of the Calamity - but their difference in age led to complications and they broke up. During this time, Hokujin became a miner, privately owning his own small-scale mining operation, specializing in non-precious metals and gems. This trade eventually led him to the Silver Bazaar, where fate would have him meet K'ailia Yohko, newly appointed Headmaster of the Ul'dah Garden. She plucked Hokujin from obscurity and set him into the big city of Ul'dah, where Hokujin finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a Gladiator. He then began acting as K'ailia's personal guard.

[[File:Hokidokidoki.png|thumb|left|Hokujin, while a member of Ul'dah Garden.]]

Then, the deadly Magi known as the Plaguebringer began to attack Ul'dah Garden. Although Hokujin, K'ailia, Ambie, and the others managed to defeat him, he destroyed their school in the process, and began an anarchy in the school's ranks that would cause the three friends to leave the Garden and go their separate ways. Hokujin spent the intervening Moons training in Ul'dah under the Sultansworn, determined to become a Free Paladin and never allow his friends to be attacked again. After his training was complete, Hokujin met with [[Master Gegeruju]] of [[Costa del Sol]], an eccentric Gillianaire who had taken to the young adventurer. Seeking to fund a group of adventurers of his own, he recruited Hokujin to start the Free Company The Venture Association. Ambie Lapin and K'ailia Yohko have joined Hokujin in this venture.

=== Character ===

==== '''General''': ====

'''Full Name:''' Hokujin Doujin

'''Pronunciation:''' Ho Ku Jin Dough Jin

'''Birthplace:''' Halatali, Eastern Thanalan

'''Current Residence:''' La Noscea

'''Relationship Status:''' Single

'''Religion:''' Althyk, the Keeper

==== '''Appearance''': ====

'''Height:''' 5'11"

'''Build:''' Muscular and chiseled.

'''Skin Color:''' Pale, yet tans well.

'''Eye Color:''' Bright blue.

'''Hair Color:''' Brown

'''General Clothing Style:''' Simple, form fitted clothing with exposed muscles, or heavy plated armor.

'''Voice:''' Abrupt and jovial.

==== '''Behavior''': ====

[[File:Hokidokibattle.png|thumb|right|When battling a foe, Hokujin opts to outlast rather than outmatch.]]

Hokujin is a kind enough bloke. He can be loud, single minded, oft simple, and indeed reckless, but he is always willing to lend his aid to anyone who needs, and makes friends easily. He's always challenging himself, loves a good fight, and keeps strict watch over his physical health with rigorous training and diet. He is loyal to a fault and has a keen eye for bullshit.



==== '''Abilities''':  ====



He is well practiced with a sword and shield, and has a practical understanding of hand-to-hand combat. But his strength lies not in doing damage, but in taking hits. Possessing no magical ability and only average martial prowess, Hokujin prefers to take the brunt of the abuse for his allies, fighting defensively rather than offensively.

----

=== Traits ===

'''Likes:''' 
Hokujin likes fighting, exercise, meat, friends, sharing stories, and beautiful young ladies. He's also quite fond of animals, and owns a cat named Professor Speckles.

'''Dislikes''': 
Bad guys, villains, those who would harm innocents, and vegans.

'''Hobbies & Talents''':
Tanking, mining, and lady-killing.

----

=== Relationships ===

==== '''Family:''' ====

*Arthur "Artie" Dunkle (Deceased): Hokujin's father, a Highlander mechanic and inventor who was born and raised in [[Garlemald]], but left for Eorzea as an adult, hoping to use his mechanical knowledge for good. From there he moved to Halatali in Eastern Thanalan, where he met Hokujin's mother. The two courted for ten years before marriage, and we inseparable. But due to her tragic death, Arthur raised Hokujin as a single parent.

*Annabelle Dunkle (Deceased): Hokujin's mother, a Midlander Alchemist from Ul'dah who moved out to Halatali to aid their gladiators with her alchemical skills. She died of a mysterious illness shortly after giving birth to her only child, Hokujin. She gave him his rather peculiar name.

*[[Kitaeru "Kitty" Nunoji]]: Hokujin's 12-year older cousin. She encouraged his love of the fighting arts when he was a young child, and they often spent many evenings watching the Gladiators of Halatali train and compete. When the Garlean's invaded Eorzea, she became a [[Marauder]] of the [[Immortal Flames]], as is a surviving soldier of [[Carteneau]]. She has since joined Hokujin in the Free Company, The Venture Association.

*Samuel "Spinebreaker" Dunkle (Deceased): Hokujin's grandfather, who was a legendary Garlean [[pugilist]]. So large he was, even for a Highlander, that the rumor that he was part [[Roegadyn]] persisted his whole life. He gained the name Spinebreaker because of his simple yet brutally efficient fighting techniques. But Samuel shocked everyone by retiring from battle in the midst of his prime to start a family. He was only violent one other time - when his family escaped from Garlemald. He died when Hokujin was 3.

*Andromeda Dunkle Nunoji: Hokujin's eldest Aunt, Arthur's older sister, and Kitaeru's mother. A haughty weaver, it is because of her that the bulk of the family didn't remain in Halatali with Artie and Annabelle, preferring the more "cultured" atmosphere of Ul'dah. She still lives there now, weaving gowns for only the most exclusive clients. She was married to a rifleman named Nicolas Nunoji, who divorced her a few years before dying in the battle of Carteneau.

*Julia Dunkle: Hokujin's youngest aunt, and Arthur's younger sister. She was a quiet daydreamer who never could hold a job or take up any real interest other than storytelling and writing.

She encouraged his love of the fighting arts when he was a young child, and they often spent many evenings watching the Gladiators of Halatali train and compete. When the Garlean's invaded Eorzea, she became a [[Marauder]] of the [[Immortal Flames]], as is a surviving soldier of [[Carteneau]]. She has since joined Hokujin in the Free Company, The Venture Association.

*Samuel "Spinebreaker" Dunkle (Deceased): Hokujin's grandfather, who was a legendary Garlean [[pugilist]]. So large he was, even for a Highlander, that the rumor that he was part [[Roegadyn]] persisted his whole life. He gained the name Spinebreaker because of his simple yet brutally efficient fighting techniques. But Samuel shocked everyone by retiring from battle in the midst of his prime to start a family. He was only violent one other time - when his family escaped from Garlemald. He died when Hokujin was 3.

*Andromeda Dunkle Nunoji: Hokujin's eldest Aunt, Arthur's older sister, and Kitaeru's mother. A haughty weaver, it is because of her that the bulk of the family didn't remain in Halatali with Artie and Annabelle, preferring the more "cultured" atmosphere of Ul'dah. She still lives there now, weaving gowns for only the most exclusive clients. She was married to a rifleman named Nicolas Nunoji, who divorced her a few years before dying in the battle of Carteneau.

*Julia Dunkle: Hokujin's youngest aunt, and Arthur's younger sister. She was a quiet daydreamer who never could hold a job or take up any real interest other than storytelling and writing. After leaving Garlemald for Ul'dah, she became even less willing to conform to the norms of society, and the story goes that she ran off across the ocean with a Lalafell woman who she had been dating.

==== '''Friends:''' ====

*[[K'ailia Yohko]]: Former Headmaster of the Ul'dah Garden, now a founding member of Hokujin's Free Company, The Venture Association.

*[[Ambie Lapin]]: His former roommate at Ul'dah Garden, Ambie is fiercely loyal to him even when others doubt him. Also a founding member of The Venture Association.

*[[Tyerial Oendrake]]: A Duskwight Bard who makes his living by adventuring, who has joined up with The Venture Association.

*[[Avalt Laguz]]: A Midlander Hyur Mage who was raised in Larkscall, and recently became Hokujin's boyfriend.

==== '''Rumors:''' ====

'''Common Rumors (Easily overheard):'''
*"Hokigen Dojo? What kind of name is that?"
*"Nice enough lad. Always running around Thanalan. Never looks tired, though."
*"He asked my sister out on a date just the other day! And she's betrothed! Y'know what he said? 'Leave your ring at home' - Nerve of that guy!"

'''Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear):'''
*"Nice hair, nice body."
*"The attention span of a bloody twelve year old."
*"I once saw him break a boulder in half with his head!"

'''Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard):'''
*"He nearly died during the Calamity, rescuing those children. My daughter owes her life to him. Great man."
*"I'd gotten in bad with some loan sharks trying to feed my family. They came around to my place in Drybone, and were about to cut into my arm to leave me a 'reminder'. Hokujin came to my rescue and took the cut for me. Nasty gash, sure it scarred deep. I didn't even have enough means to repay him..."
*"My sister had gotten a little too tipsy one night out with friends - as young ones are wont to do, y'know? - anyway, gang of thugs decides they can take advantage of her. They get as far as grabbing her shirt when Hokujin, in the dead of night mind you, leaps out of the shadows in naught but his night clothes and beats the thugs into a bloody pulp, ties 'em up outside the Immortal Flames office, then takes my sister home! I can't tell if he's a guardian angel or some kind of monster..."

'''Player Character Rumors (If you want to share one, feel free)'''
*"His cat, Professor Speckles, seems to like to curl up right in his face as he sleeps. It's almost as if the poor thing is afraid he'll freeze to death in the night..." - [[Ambie Lapin]]

=== History ===

==== '''Early Childhood''' ====

Hokujin was born 21 years before the Calamity, on the 13th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon in Halatali, to Artie and Annabelle Dunkle. Annabelle had contracted a strange illness a month before that she had been struggling to fight off, but died shortly after giving birth to a two-weeks premature Hokujin. Hoku was raised by his father and the other people of Halatali, many of which he was quite close with.

[[File:Artiesmall.png|thumb|left|Hokujin's father, Arthur "Artie" Dunkle.]]
Apart from his many friends, his favorite part about growing up in Halatali was watching the Gladiatorial bouts. He watched brave warriors tackle incredible odds and even more incredible monsters and a spark was ignited inside of Hokujin.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

As the sky split open and fire rained down about the people of Halatali, sending the town into a ruin of which it would never recover, Hokujin and his father did their best to organize the citizens and help them escape to Camp Drybone for shelter. Arthur died as the town crumbled around him, rescuing people from the rubble. Hokujin nearly died himself, as a vicious stone golem managed to escape from the gladiatorial cages during the chaos, and came after the group of children Hokujin was escorting to Camp Drybone. Hokujin fought the brute bare-handed, wrestling it into submission after a brutal fight that left Hokujin with disfiguring facial scars on the left side of his face. But none of the children were harmed.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

Hokujin spent much of the time after the Calamity in Camp Drybone. While many of the Halatali refugees spread throughout Thanalan and Ul'dah, Hokujin had no family, no home, no place to go, so in Drybone he remained. He had a tryst with an older woman during this time - a widow of the Calamity - but their difference in age led to complications and they broke up. During this time, Hokujin became a miner, privately owning his own small-scale mining operation, specializing in non-precious metals and gems. This trade eventually led him to the Silver Bazaar, where fate would have him meet K'ailia Yohko, newly appointed Headmaster of the Ul'dah Garden. She plucked Hokujin from obscurity and set him into the big city of Ul'dah, where Hokujin finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a Gladiator. He then began acting as K'ailia's personal guard.

[[File:Hokidokidoki.png|thumb|left|Hokujin, while a member of Ul'dah Garden.]]

Then, the deadly Magi known as the Plaguebringer began to attack Ul'dah Garden. Although Hokujin, K'ailia, Ambie, and the others managed to defeat him, he destroyed their school in the process, and began an anarchy in the school's ranks that would cause the three friends to leave the Garden and go their separate ways. Hokujin spent the intervening Moons training in Ul'dah under the Sultansworn, determined to become a Free Paladin and never allow his friends to be attacked again. After his training was complete, Hokujin met with [[Master Gegeruju]] of [[Costa del Sol]], an eccentric Gillianaire who had taken to the young adventurer. Seeking to fund a group of adventurers of his own, he recruited Hokujin to start the Free Company The Venture Association. Ambie Lapin and K'ailia Yohko have joined Hokujin in this venture.

=== Character ===

==== '''General''': ====

'''Full Name:''' Hokujin Doujin

'''Pronunciation:''' Ho Ku Jin Dough Jin

'''Birthplace:''' Halatali, Eastern Thanalan

'''Current Residence:''' La Noscea

'''Relationship Status:''' Taken

'''Voice:''' Abrupt and jovial.

==== '''Behavior''': ====

[[File:Hokidokibattle.png|thumb|right|When battling a foe, Hokujin opts to outlast rather than outmatch.]]

Hokujin is a kind enough bloke. He can be loud, single minded, oft simple, and indeed reckless, but he is always willing to lend his aid to anyone who needs, and makes friends easily. He's always challenging himself, loves a good fight, and keeps strict watch over his physical health with rigorous training and diet. He is loyal to a fault and has a keen eye for bullshit.



==== '''Abilities''':  ====



He is well practiced with a sword and shield, and has a practical understanding of hand-to-hand combat. But his strength lies not in doing damage, but in taking hits. Possessing no magical ability and only average martial prowess, Hokujin prefers to take the brunt of the abuse for his allies, fighting defensively rather than offensively.

Hokujin is a kind enough bloke. He can be loud, single minded, oft simple, and indeed reckless, but he is always willing to lend his aid to anyone who needs, and makes friends easily. He's always challenging himself, loves a good fight, and keeps strict watch over his physical health with rigorous training and diet. He is loyal to a fault and has a keen eye for bullshit.



==== '''Abilities''':  ====



He is well practiced with a sword and shield, and has a practical understanding of hand-to-hand combat. But his strength lies not in doing damage, but in taking hits. Possessing no magical ability and only average martial prowess, Hokujin prefers to take the brunt of the abuse for his allies, fighting defensively rather than offensively.

Hokujin came to my rescue and took the cut for me. Nasty gash, sure it scarred deep. I didn't even have enough means to repay him..."
*"My sister had gotten a little too tipsy one night out with friends - as young ones are wont to do, y'know? - anyway, gang of thugs decides they can take advantage of her. They get as far as grabbing her shirt when Hokujin, in the dead of night mind you, leaps out of the shadows in naught but his night clothes and beats the thugs into a bloody pulp, ties 'em up outside the Immortal Flames office, then takes my sister home!

=== History ===

==== '''Early Childhood''' ====

Hokujin was born 21 years before the Calamity, on the 13th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon in Halatali, to Artie and Annabelle Dunkle. Annabelle had contracted a strange illness a month before that she had been struggling to fight off, but died shortly after giving birth to a two-weeks premature Hokujin. Hoku was raised by his father and the other people of Halatali, many of which he was quite close with.

[[File:Artiesmall.png|thumb|left|Hokujin's father, Arthur "Artie" Dunkle.]]
Apart from his many friends, his favorite part about growing up in Halatali was watching the Gladiatorial bouts. He watched brave warriors tackle incredible odds and even more incredible monsters and a spark was ignited inside of Hokujin.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

As the sky split open and fire rained down about the people of Halatali, sending the town into a ruin of which it would never recover, Hokujin and his father did their best to organize the citizens and help them escape to Camp Drybone for shelter. Arthur died as the town crumbled around him, rescuing people from the rubble. Hokujin nearly died himself, as a vicious stone golem managed to escape from the gladiatorial cages during the chaos, and came after the group of children Hokujin was escorting to Camp Drybone. Hokujin fought the brute bare-handed, wrestling it into submission after a brutal fight that left Hokujin with disfiguring facial scars on the left side of his face. But none of the children were harmed.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

Hokujin spent much of the time after the Calamity in Camp Drybone. While many of the Halatali refugees spread throughout Thanalan and Ul'dah, Hokujin had no family, no home, no place to go, so in Drybone he remained. He had a tryst with an older woman during this time - a widow of the Calamity - but their difference in age led to complications and they broke up. During this time, Hokujin became a miner, privately owning his own small-scale mining operation, specializing in non-precious metals and gems. This trade eventually led him to the Silver Bazaar, where fate would have him meet K'ailia Yohko, newly appointed Headmaster of the Ul'dah Garden. She plucked Hokujin from obscurity and set him into the big city of Ul'dah, where Hokujin finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a Gladiator. He then began acting as K'ailia's personal guard.

[[File:Hokidokidoki.png|thumb|left|Hokujin, while a member of Ul'dah Garden.]]

Then, the deadly Magi known as the Plaguebringer began to attack Ul'dah Garden. Although Hokujin, K'ailia, Ambie, and the others managed to defeat him, he destroyed their school in the process, and began an anarchy in the school's ranks that would cause the three friends to leave the Garden and go their separate ways. Hokujin spent the intervening Moons training in Ul'dah under the Sultansworn, determined to become a Free Paladin and never allow his friends to be attacked again. After his training was complete, Hokujin met with [[Master Gegeruju]] of [[Costa del Sol]], an eccentric Gillianaire who had taken to the young adventurer. Seeking to fund a group of adventurers of his own, he recruited Hokujin to start the Free Company The Venture Association. Ambie Lapin and K'ailia Yohko have joined Hokujin in this venture.

=== History ===

==== '''Early Childhood''' ====

Hokujin was born 21 years before the Calamity, on the 13th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon in Halatali, to Artie and Annabelle Dunkle. Annabelle had contracted a strange illness a month before that she had been struggling to fight off, but died shortly after giving birth to a two-weeks premature Hokujin. Hoku was raised by his father and the other people of Halatali, many of which he was quite close with.

[[File:Artiesmall.png|thumb|left|Hokujin's father, Arthur "Artie" Dunkle.]]
Apart from his many friends, his favorite part about growing up in Halatali was watching the Gladiatorial bouts. He watched brave warriors tackle incredible odds and even more incredible monsters and a spark was ignited inside of Hokujin.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

As the sky split open and fire rained down about the people of Halatali, sending the town into a ruin of which it would never recover, Hokujin and his father did their best to organize the citizens and help them escape to Camp Drybone for shelter. Arthur died as the town crumbled around him, rescuing people from the rubble. Hokujin nearly died himself, as a vicious stone golem managed to escape from the gladiatorial cages during the chaos, and came after the group of children Hokujin was escorting to Camp Drybone. Hokujin fought the brute bare-handed, wrestling it into submission after a brutal fight that left Hokujin with disfiguring facial scars on the left side of his face. But none of the children were harmed.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

Hokujin spent much of the time after the Calamity in Camp Drybone. While many of the Halatali refugees spread throughout Thanalan and Ul'dah, Hokujin had no family, no home, no place to go, so in Drybone he remained. He had a tryst with an older woman during this time - a widow of the Calamity - but their difference in age led to complications and they broke up. During this time, Hokujin became a miner, privately owning his own small-scale mining operation, specializing in non-precious metals and gems. This trade eventually led him to the Silver Bazaar, where fate would have him meet K'ailia Yohko, newly appointed Headmaster of the Ul'dah Garden. She plucked Hokujin from obscurity and set him into the big city of Ul'dah, where Hokujin finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a Gladiator. He then began acting as K'ailia's personal guard.

[[File:Hokidokidoki.png|thumb|left|Hokujin, while a member of Ul'dah Garden.]]

Then, the deadly Magi known as the Plaguebringer began to attack Ul'dah Garden. Although Hokujin, K'ailia, Ambie, and the others managed to defeat him, he destroyed their school in the process, and began an anarchy in the school's ranks that would cause the three friends to leave the Garden and go their separate ways. Hokujin spent the intervening Moons training in Ul'dah under the Sultansworn, determined to become a Free Paladin and never allow his friends to be attacked again. After his training was complete, Hokujin met with [[Master Gegeruju]] of [[Costa del Sol]], an eccentric Gillianaire who had taken to the young adventurer. Seeking to fund a group of adventurers of his own, he recruited Hokujin to start the Free Company The Venture Association. Ambie Lapin and K'ailia Yohko have joined Hokujin in this venture.

==== '''Behavior''': ====

[[File:Hokidokibattle.png|thumb|right|When battling a foe, Hokujin opts to outlast rather than outmatch.]]

Hokujin is a kind enough bloke. He can be loud, single minded, oft simple, and indeed reckless, but he is always willing to lend his aid to anyone who needs, and makes friends easily. He's always challenging himself, loves a good fight, and keeps strict watch over his physical health with rigorous training and diet. He is loyal to a fault and has a keen eye for bullshit.



==== '''Abilities''':  ====



He is well practiced with a sword and shield, and has a practical understanding of hand-to-hand combat. But his strength lies not in doing damage, but in taking hits. Possessing no magical ability and only average martial prowess, Hokujin prefers to take the brunt of the abuse for his allies, fighting defensively rather than offensively.

But due to her tragic death, Arthur raised Hokujin as a single parent.

*Annabelle Dunkle: Hokujin's mother, a Midlander Alchemist from Ul'dah who moved out to Halatali to aid their gladiators with her alchemical skills. She died of a mysterious illness shortly after giving birth to her only child, Hokujin. She gave him his rather peculiar name.

*"I'd gotten in bad with some loan sharks trying to feed my family. They came around to my place in Drybone, and were about to cut into my arm to leave me a 'reminder'. Hokujin came to my rescue and took the cut for me. Nasty gash, sure it scarred deep. I didn't even have enough means to repay him..."
*"My sister had gotten a little too tipsy one night out with friends - as young ones are wont to do, y'know? - anyway, gang of thugs decides they can take advantage of her. They get as far as grabbing her shirt when Hokujin, in the dead of night mind you, leaps out of the shadows in naught but his night clothes and beats the thugs into a bloody pulp, ties 'em up outside the Immortal Flames office, then takes my sister home!

But due to her tragic death, Arthur raised Hokujin as a single parent.

*Annabelle Dunkle: Hokujin's mother, a Midlander Alchemist from Ul'dah who moved out to Halatali to aid their gladiators with her alchemical skills. She died of a mysterious illness shortly after giving birth to her only child, Hokujin. She gave him his rather peculiar name.

*"I'd gotten in bad with some loan sharks trying to feed my family. They came around to my place in Drybone, and were about to cut into my arm to leave me a 'reminder'. Hokujin came to my rescue and took the cut for me. Nasty gash, sure it scarred deep. I didn't even have enough means to repay him..."
*"My sister had gotten a little too tipsy one night out with friends - as young ones are wont to do, y'know? - anyway, gang of thugs decides they can take advantage of her. They get as far as grabbing her shirt when Hokujin, in the dead of night mind you, leaps out of the shadows in naught but his night clothes and beats the thugs into a bloody pulp, ties 'em up outside the Immortal Flames office, then takes my sister home! I can't tell if he's a guardian angel or some kind of monster..."

=== History ===

==== '''Early Childhood''' ====

Hokujin was born 21 years before the Calamity, on the 13th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon in Halatali, to Artie and Annabelle Dunkle. Annabelle had contracted a strange illness a month before that she had been struggling to fight off, but died shortly after giving birth to a two-weeks premature Hokujin. Hoku was raised by his father and the other people of Halatali, many of which he was quite close with.

[[File:Artiesmall.png|thumb|left|Hokujin's father, Arthur "Artie" Dunkle.]]
Apart from his many friends, his favorite part about growing up in Halatali was watching the Gladiatorial bouts. He watched brave warriors tackle incredible odds and even more incredible monsters and a spark was ignited inside of Hokujin.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

As the sky split open and fire rained down about the people of Halatali, sending the town into a ruin of which it would never recover, Hokujin and his father did their best to organize the citizens and help them escape to Camp Drybone for shelter. Arthur died as the town crumbled around him, rescuing people from the rubble. Hokujin nearly died himself, as a vicious stone golem managed to escape from the gladiatorial cages during the chaos, and came after the group of children Hokujin was escorting to Camp Drybone. Hokujin fought the brute bare-handed, wrestling it into submission after a brutal fight that left Hokujin with disfiguring facial scars on the left side of his face. But none of the children were harmed.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

Hokujin spent much of the time after the Calamity in Camp Drybone. While many of the Halatali refugees spread throughout Thanalan and Ul'dah, Hokujin had no family, no home, no place to go, so in Drybone he remained. He had a tryst with an older woman during this time - a widow of the Calamity - but their difference in age led to complications and they broke up. During this time, Hokujin became a miner, privately owning his own small-scale mining operation, specializing in non-precious metals and gems. This trade eventually led him to the Silver Bazaar, where fate would have him meet K'ailia Yohko, newly appointed Headmaster of the Ul'dah Garden. She plucked Hokujin from obscurity and set him into the big city of Ul'dah, where Hokujin finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a Gladiator. He then began acting as K'ailia's personal guard.

[[File:Hokidokidoki.png|thumb|left|Hokujin, while a member of Ul'dah Garden.]]

Then, the deadly Magi known as the Plaguebringer began to attack Ul'dah Garden. Although Hokujin, K'ailia, Ambie, and the others managed to defeat him, he destroyed their school in the process, and began an anarchy in the school's ranks that would cause the three friends to leave the Garden and go their separate ways. Hokujin spent the intervening Moons training in Ul'dah under the Sultansworn, determined to become a Free Paladin and never allow his friends to be attacked again. After his training we complete, Hokujin met with [[Master Gegeruju]] of [[Costa del Sol]], an eccentric Gillianaire who had taken to the young adventurer. Seeking to fund a group of adventurers of his own, he recruit Hokujin to start the Free Company, The Venture Association. Ambie Lapin and K'ailia Yohko have joined Hokujin in this venture.

=== History ===

==== '''Early Childhood''' ====

Hokujin was born 21 years before the Calamity, on the 13th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon in Halatali, to Artie and Annabelle Dunkle. Annabelle had contracted a strange illness a month before that she had been struggling to fight off, but died shortly after giving birth to a two-weeks premature Hokujin. Hoku was raised by his father and the other people of Halatali, many of which he was quite close with.

[[File:Artiesmall.png|thumb|left|Hokujin's father, Arthur "Artie" Dunkle.]]
Apart from his many friends, his favorite part about growing up in Halatali was watching the Gladiatorial bouts. He watched brave warriors tackle incredible odds and even more incredible monsters and a spark was ignited inside of Hokujin.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

As the sky split open and fire rained down about the people of Halatali, sending the town into a ruin of which it would never recover, Hokujin and his father did their best to organize the citizens and help them escape to Camp Drybone for shelter. Arthur died as the town crumbled around him, rescuing people from the rubble. Hokujin nearly died himself, as a vicious stone golem managed to escape from the gladiatorial cages during the chaos, and came after the group of children Hokujin was escorting to Camp Drybone. Hokujin fought the brute bare-handed, wrestling it into submission after a brutal fight that left Hokujin with disfiguring facial scars on the left side of his face. But none of the children were harmed.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

Hokujin spent much of the time after the Calamity in Camp Drybone. While many of the Halatali refugees spread throughout Thanalan and Ul'dah, Hokujin had no family, no home, no place to go, so in Drybone he remained. He had a tryst with an older woman during this time - a widow of the Calamity - but their difference in age led to complications and they broke up. During this time, Hokujin became a miner, privately owning his own small-scale mining operation, specializing in non-precious metals and gems. This trade eventually led him to the Silver Bazaar, where fate would have him meet K'ailia Yohko, newly appointed Headmaster of the Ul'dah Garden. She plucked Hokujin from obscurity and set him into the big city of Ul'dah, where Hokujin finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a Gladiator. He now acts as K'ailia's personal guard.

Though he still has much to learn, expect great things from him!

=== History ===

==== '''Early Childhood''' ====

Leanne was born in Gridania and three years later her sister was born. Soon after her family moved to the South Shroud to avoid the stares and the mutterings of the Elezen population. Her mother a Miqo'te and her father an Elezen. She lived a quiet and peaceful life. She enjoyed running through the Shroud and was very good at avoiding potential threats. This angered her parents but they only worried for her.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

When Leanne was thirteen years old, her father was called out to aid in a war. Then the Calamity struck. Somehow her family managed to survive with minimal wounds. However her father was never heard from again. Her mother and sister broken hearted Leanne took the role of caring for them and started to learn botany. To grow fruits, vegetables and grains to eat.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

Five years after the Calamity struck Leanne came home after working in the fields, to find her mother and sister murdered lying in a pool of their own blood. The Garlean soldiers that murdered the only family she had left kidnapped her and held her captive for three months. Torturing her mentally and physically, using her for their experiments, injecting strangely colored liquids in her, and took advantage of her and her body.

After three months, she escaped. She ran from the Shroud all the way to the city of Ul'dah until she passed out from exhaustion. There, Caen found her and nursed her back to health. She was plagued with constant migraines and nightmares of what happened to her and her family. She soon joined the academy of Ul'dah Garden after passing her interview with Ventus. Not long after that, Leanne found out, with the rest of the Garden, that Ventus was in a coma. K'ailia became new Headmaster and Leanne was made an Instructor.

Still healing from the deep wounds in her mind, body and soul, Leanne tries her best to over come her fears and help those around her. She began to train herself, becoming a monk. The reason for the sudden need for power unknown to most. She struggles internally with her rage filled dark personality, a battle known only to a few.

*"Lotsa folks might wonder why a kid her age runs the Ul'dah Garden, when it's an organization full of much older folks. Thing is, she's young, but she's the only one with any damn sense!" - [[Hokujin Doujin]]

----

=== History ===

==== '''Early Childhood''' ====

K'ailia was born in the year 1561, in the Hipparion Tribe's camp in the Sagoli Desert. She had almost no relationship with her father. It was mostly the tribe as a whole, that contributed to her upbringing, from weening, to walking. On her fifth birthday, her father took her before the elders for the naming ceremony. There, she was given the name K'ailia Yohko.

She grew up much like the other children, though she had an adventurous disposition. If there was something that she thought would be fun to climb, she'd climb it. She also display a fondness for the world about her, enjoying nature much more than many of the other children of the tribe.

This caught K'piru's eye and around age eight, she started learning the basics of being a tribe healer. But it was also around this time she started accompanying the huntresses on their hunts, studying how they hunted, and how they used their weapons.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

It was around when she was eleven years of age, that the tribe started fleeing in the wake of war. And then, the calamity began as she cowered with the other children as the sky seemed to rain down around them. She continued to huddle with the other children, who by this time were already taller than she was. But even that didn't stop cinders from landing on her and burning her. After the Calamity they looked out at their changed world. She spent a good while fearing the calamity would happen again, and had to be comforted often for her bad dreams and timidness. But also, a bandana was made to cover her singed hair and the healing burns. From this time on, she would always be seen wearing a bandana.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

K'ailia continued studying the healing arts and rituals of the tribe, and tried her best to get better with the bow, since she could not even hold a spear. The other huntresses felt she might do better with a bow. But even in her practice, she couldn't even hit the side of a cactus, which worried her mother.

When she was sixteen, she prepared for the day she would be taken out for her trial of adulthood. The huntresses corralled their prey and K'ailia was told to take the shot to pass her trial. She tried taking careful aim, but then a breeze blew a sand which made her sneeze. She released the arrow that was set to fire... and it hit a hapless huntress who was helping hold the target in place, right in the hind quarters.

K'ailia had failed her trial, and upon returning to the tribe, the elders looked upon what skills she had. It was decided that she would serve the tribe better by enhancing her skills as a healer, by studying under the Conjurer's guild to gain additional knowledge for the tribe. Thus arrangements were made to take her, and others to Gridania, to learn the crafts and skills that will be used to help the tribe.

However when she returned to the tribe, she had found her views no longer matched those of the tribe. She felt like a stranger to her own people. And thus she found herself spending more and more time in Ul'dah and answered a poster that a passerby read to her of Ul'dah Garden. She joined the garden in hopes of learning more skills for her tribe.

She completed her conjurer training under Garden, and even obtained a white soul crystal that contained the soul of a white mage teacher from days of old. It as through taking the crystal to Gridania that she took the next step in the conjurer path, and became a White Mage herself. To commemorate the event, she was named Chief Medical Officer of Ul'dah Garden and she even started learning other skills to benefit her duties.

As time went on though, she became even more estranged from her tribe, until the twenty fifth sun of the Sixth Astral Moon, when she finally left the tribe to focus more on aiding all the people of Eorzea through her healing training that she puts to use in Ul'dah Garden. Being free from the tribe has opened up a whole new world for her, one she feels she is now ready to face. But she maintains her relationship with her mother above all others in the tribe she had left behind.

Hokujin is a kind enough bloke. He can be loud, single minded, oft simple, and indeed reckless, but he is always willing to lend his aid to anyone who needs, and makes friends easily.

*"My sister had gotten a little too tipsy one night out with friends - as young ones are wont to do, y'know? - anyway, gang of thugs decides they can take advantage of her. They get as far as grabbing her shirt when Hokujin, in the dead of night mind you, leaps out of the shadows in naught but his night clothes and beats the thugs into a bloody pulp, ties 'em up outside the Immortal Flames office, then takes my sister home! I can't tell if he's a guardian angel or some kind of monster..."

'''Player Character Rumors (If you want to share one, feel free)'''

=== History ===

==== '''Early Childhood''' ====

Hokujin was born 21 years before the Calamity, on the 13th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon in Halatali, to Artie and Annabelle Dunkle. Annabelle had contracted a strange illness a month before that she had been struggling to fight off, but died shortly after giving birth to a two-weeks premature Hokujin. Hoku was raised by his father and the other people of Halatali, many of which he was quite close with.

[[File:Artiesmall.png|thumb|left|Hokujin's father, Arthur "Artie" Dunkle.]]
Apart from his many friends, his favorite part about growing up in Halatali was watching the Gladiatorial bouts. He watched brave warriors tackle incredible odds and even more incredible monsters and a spark was ignited inside of Hokujin.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

As the sky split open and fire rained down about the people of Halatali, sending the town into a ruin of which it would never recover, Hokujin and his father did their best to organize the citizens and help them escape to Camp Drybone for shelter. Arthur died as the town crumbled around him, rescuing people from the rubble. Hokujin nearly died himself, as a vicious stone golem managed to escape from the gladiatorial cages during the chaos, and came after the group of children Hokujin was escorting to Camp Drybone. Hokujin fought the brute bare-handed, wrestling it into submission after a brutal fight that left Hokujin with disfiguring facial scars on the left side of his face. But none of the children were harmed.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

Hokujin spent much of the time after the Calamity in Camp Drybone. While many of the Halatali refugees spread throughout Thanalan and Ul'dah, Hokujin had no family, no home, no place to go, so in Drybone he remained. He had a tryst with an older woman during this time - a widow of the Calamity - but their difference in age led to complications and they broke up. During this time, Hokujin became a miner, privately owning his own small-scale mining operation, specializing in non-precious metals and gems. This trade eventually led him to the Silver Bazaar, where fate would have him meet K'ailia Yohko, newly appointed Headmaster of the Ul'dah Garden. She plucked Hokujin from obscurity and set him into the big city of Ul'dah, where Hokujin finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a Gladiator. He now acts as K'ailia's personal guard.

Though he still has much to learn, expect great things from him!

'''Voice:''' Abrupt and jovial.

==== '''Behavior''': ====

[[File:Hokidokibattle.png|thumb|right|When battling a foe, Hokujin opts to outlast rather than outmatch.]]

Hokujin is a kind enough bloke. He can be loud, single minded, oft simple, and indeed reckless, but he is always willing to lend his aid to anyone who needs, and makes friends easily. He's always challenging himself, loves a good fight, and keeps strict watch over his physical health with rigorous training and diet. He is loyal to a fault and has a keen eye for bullshit.



==== '''Abilities''':  ====



He is well practiced with a sword and shield, and has a practical understanding of hand-to-hand combat. But his strength lies not in doing damage, but in taking hits. Possessing no magical ability and only average martial prowess, Hokujin prefers to take the brunt of the abuse for his allies, fighting defensively rather than offensively.

----

=== Relationships ===

==== '''Family:''' ====

*Arthur Dunkle: Hokujin's father, a Highlander mechanic who was born and raised in [[Garlemald]], but left for Eorzea as an adult, hoping to use his mechanical knowledge for good. From there he moved to Halatali in Eastern Thanalan, where he met Hokujin's mother. The two courted for ten years before marriage, and we inseparable. But due to her tragic death, Arthur raised Hokujin as a single parent.

*Annabelle Dunkle: Hokujin's mother, a Midlander Alchemist from Ul'dah who moved out to Halatali to aid their gladiators with her alchemical skills. She died of a mysterious illness shortly after giving birth to her only child, Hokujin. She gave him his rather peculiar name.

==== '''Friends:''' ====

*[[K'ailia Yohko]]: Headmaster of Ul'dah Garden, and Hokujin's best friend.

*[[Ambie Lapin]]: His roommate at Ul'dah Garden, Ambie is fiercely loyal to him even when others doubt him.

*[[Leanne Starlight]]: A Miqo'te Instructor at Ul'dah Garden who Hokujin is quite fond of, yet who often looks down on him.

*[[Lan Darklyn]]: A young Miqo'te soldier who studies at the Garden who has earned Hokujin's respect.

==== '''Rumors:''' ====

'''Common Rumors (Easily overheard):'''
*"Hokigen Dojo? What kind of name is that?"
*"Nice enough lad. Always running around Thanalan. Never looks tired, though."
*"He asked my sister out on a date just the other day! And she's betrothed! Y'know what he said? 'Leave your ring at home' - Nerve of that guy!"

'''Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear):'''
*"Nice hair, nice body."
*"The attention span of a bloody twelve year old."
*"I once saw him break a boulder in half with his head!"

'''Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard):'''
*"He nearly died during the Calamity, rescuing those children. My daughter owes her life to him. Great man."
*"I'd gotten in bad with some loan sharks trying to feed my family. They came around to my place in Drybone, and were about to cut into my arm to leave me a 'reminder'. Hokujin came to my rescue and took the cut for me. Nasty gash, sure it scarred deep. I didn't even have enough means to repay him..."
*"My sister had gotten a little too tipsy one night out with friends - as young ones are wont to do, y'know? - anyway, gang of thugs decides they can take advantage of her. They get as far as grabbing her shirt when Hokujin, in the dead of night mind you, leaps out of the shadows in naught but his night clothes and beats the thugs into a bloody pulp, ties 'em up outside the Immortal Flames office, then takes my sister home! I can't tell if he's a guardian angel or some kind of monster..."

=== History ===

==== '''Early Childhood''' ====

Hokujin was born 21 years before the Calamity, on the 13th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon in Halatali, to Artie and Annabelle Dunkle. Annabelle had contracted a strange illness a month before that she had been struggling to fight off, but died shortly after giving birth to a two-weeks premature Hokujin. Hoku was raised by his father and the other people of Halatali, many of which he was quite close with.

[[File:Artiesmall.png|thumb|left|Hokujin's father, Arthur "Artie" Dunkle.]]
Apart from his many friends, his favorite part about growing up in Halatali was watching the Gladiatorial bouts. He watched brave warriors tackle incredible odds and even more incredible monsters and a spark was ignited inside of Hokujin.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

As the sky split open and fire rained down about the people of Halatali, sending the town into a ruin of which it would never recover, Hokujin and his father did their best to organize the citizens and help them escape to Camp Drybone for shelter. Arthur died as the town crumbled around him, rescuing people from the rubble. Hokujin nearly died himself, as a vicious stone golem managed to escape from the gladiatorial cages during the chaos, and came after the group of children Hokujin was escorting to Camp Drybone. Hokujin fought the brute bare-handed, wrestling it into submission after a brutal fight that left Hokujin with disfiguring facial scars on the left side of his face. But none of the children were harmed.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

Hokujin spent much of the time after the Calamity in Camp Drybone. While many of the Halatali refugees spread throughout Thanalan and Ul'dah, Hokujin had no family, no home, no place to go, so in Drybone he remained. He had a tryst with an older woman during this time - a widow of the Calamity - but their difference in age led to complications and they broke up. During this time, Hokujin became a miner, privately owning his own small-scale mining operation, specializing in non-precious metals and gems. This trade eventually led him to the Silver Bazaar, where fate would have him meet K'ailia Yohko, newly appointed Headmaster of the Ul'dah Garden. She plucked Hokujin from obscurity and set him into the big city of Ul'dah, where Hokujin finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a Gladiator. He now acts as K'ailia's personal guard.

Though he still has much to learn, expect great things from him!

==== '''General''': ====

'''Full Name:''' Ambie Petite Lapin

'''Pronunciation:''' Am-bee Peh-teet Lah-pon

'''Birthplace:''' The Black Shroud

'''Current Residence:''' Ul'dah Garden

'''Relationship Status:''' Single

'''Religion:''' Menphina, the Lover

==== '''Appearance''': ====

'''Height:''' 6'2"

'''Build:''' Softly muscled

'''Skin Color:''' Gently sunkissed

'''Eye Color:''' Bright green

'''Hair Color:''' Blond

'''General Clothing Style:''' Tunics and tights, knee-boots, hats

'''Voice:''' Clear, kind, and honest

==== '''Behavior''': ====

[[File:Ambietalk.png|thumb|right|Ambie doesn't mind listening or giving advice, acting like a big sister or mother to others at times.]]

Ambie has a kind, motherly nature. She doesn't mind listening to people when they need to talk or giving out advice when needed, but she also doesn't have a problem pointing out when someone has done wrong - no matter their position above or below her. When she sees genuine potential and kindness in someone she will often defend them to the last, a fierce loyalty that can only be broken with the most damning evidence or betrayal. Even so, she has a lonely heart. She feels that most of her efforts and affections are one-sided. As such, she tends to rely on herself before others unless they express otherwise.



==== '''Abilities''':  ====



Having no real talent for magic and due to her father forbidding her from learning to use blades, archery was her only option left. Through the need to become more independent and the desire to prove her own self-worth, as well as some natural talent and a good eye, she took to the bow quite easily. By the time she'd left Gridania she was considered an upper-middle level archer. Having traveled the Black Shroud throughout her childhood and teenage years she has a working knowledge of plants and how to forage. She also retains some of her mother's skill in carpentry, but it's not a professional or highly practiced level of knowledge yet.

----

=== Traits ===

'''Likes:''' 
Good food, sweets, the colors green and yellow, working with her hands, whistling, being relied on, the sea, animals (especially cats, dogs, and Chocobos).

'''Dislikes''': 
Carrots, food with carrots in it, feeling alone, unfair judgements towards others, being considered the 'older woman', hot dry desert air and sand.

'''Hobbies & Talents''': Archery, botany, tea making, chocobo riding.

----

=== Relationships ===

==== '''Family:''' ====

*Vilier Lapin: Ambie's father. It was said that nearly any weapon he picked up he was able to use with exceptional skill, even if he had never used or trained with it before. His favored weapon is the lance. Little is known about his life before Ambie was born, only that he and her mother traveled from place to place within the Shroud. After the Calamity took his wife and many of the people they'd been traveling with, Vilier took Ambie to Gridania to try and establish a settled life in the hopes that his daughter would have a better life. After a few years though Vilier seemed discontent. Seeing that his daughter was more than old enough to live on her own and how independent she had become he decided to leave and set out on a journey to places unknown. His current whereabouts are unknown.

*Lulu Lapin: Ambie's mother. Though not professionally taught she was a clever carpenter, often the main provider of income for the family. She was an elegant lady no matter what she wore or how she wore it, and imparted upon Ambie the importance of looking one's best. She adored her husband but seemed to dislike their constant traveling. She'd wanted a more settled life for Ambie, which Vilier would later try to honor. Lulu was one of many taken by the Calamity.

==== '''Friends:''' ====

*[[K'ailia Yohko]]: Headmaster of Ul'dah Garden. Ambie views her as a kind of 'little sister'.

*[[Hokujin Doujin]]: Her roommate in Ul'dah Garden. She believes in him, but his off-kilter nature worries her.

*[[Leanne Starlight]]: An instructor at Ul'dah Garden. Her stubborn nature frustrates Ambie, but she understands she has her reasons.

*[[Bumo Dalumo]]: A Lalafel blacksmith that Ambie affectionately calls 'petite amie'.

==== '''Rumors:''' ====

'''Common Rumors (Easily overheard):'''
*"Poor girl. Heard her father just up and left."
*"She wears that hat like she hates her hair, she does."
*"I was sure that woman was going to drool all over my confections with how long she stood there staring at the chocolates!"

'''Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear):'''
*"When I told her the cake she was sampling was made of carrot, she immediately began to spit and choke and throw a fit about it!"
*"I've seen her stealing long looks at the male Miqo'te that pass through. Her expression gets all soft."
*"Carries herself a bit boyish-like in those clothes. I'm willing to bet she'd look lovely in a dress if she tried."

'''Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard):'''
*"I drank too much and prattled on for what must'a been bells, yet I remember her sitting and listening the whole time with those kind eyes."
*"Came around a bend in the road to hear a right pretty sound once. Sounded like some kinda woodwind instrument. Instead I was surprised to see this Elezen woman resting and whistling a sweet tune to pass the time. She looked a might bit embarrassed when she realized I'd heard."
*"Yeah, she came to me once asking about her father. I couldn't tell her the truth... I just couldn't. Wouldn'tve helped her anyroad, he could be anywhere now. What's important is those Elezen men following behind him. Brr! gave me the chills lookin' at them. If I were her father, I wouldn't want her mixed up in all that. Hells, I don't want to wind up mixed up in it either!"

'''Player Character Rumors (If you want to share one, feel free)'''
*"She snores when she sleeps. Quite loud, at that. Reckon it's all that bloody chocolate she eats before bed!" - Hokujin Doujin
----

=== History ===

==== '''Early Childhood''' ====

Ambie was born in the Shroud - an unspecific location that she never thought to ask about as her parents would often travel from place to place. The three of them and a group of other Elezen traveled together and would camp for a moon or two in a place before moving on to the next. As a result Ambie didn't have many lasting friendships with people her own age, especially since she was the only child in her group. She ended up clinging to her parents to fill that emotional need. As she got older she began to adjust to a more independent attitude, but still viewed her father especially as her closest and best friend.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

It's perhaps fortunate that Ambie was knocked unconscious when the Calamity struck, not having to witness the horror around her. All she can recall is one moment it was calm and the next she awoke to find nearly everyone she had ever known was dead. She woke to her father's pleas, and it was the first time she had ever seen him crying. Only two others that traveled with them out of the dozen or so that there were, but they left for lands unknown. Ambie was in shock for about a moon's time, but forced herself into resilience for her father's sake.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

After things had calmed down somewhat and Ambie and her father were back on their feet, Vilier decided to take her to Gridania to start a new, settled life - the kind of life his late wife had always wanted for them. Ambie joined the archer's guild in the hope that it would both bring her some peace of mind by strengthening her mental focus and also help ease the burden she felt she had placed on her father. As Ambie seemingly thrived in her new environment, Vilier seemed to grow more and more discontent. Eventually he sat her down and had a talk about her future, and how she was more than old enough to live on and by her own terms. Despite her protests, Vilier left Gridania to go on a journey - never specifying where he was going.

After trying to live alone for about a month, Ambie decided she needed to go find her father. She sold her home and set out to Ul'dah, thinking perhaps he would be drawn to the Coliseum. On her way she was attacked by the local wildlife and lost many supplies, but a chance encounter with K'ailia lead to her finding a safe place to eat and sleep in Ul'dah Garden. Now, between helping with Garden's various activities and woes, she searches diligently for her father while preparing for each new and unknown step of her journey.

*Lulu Lapin: Ambie's mother. Though not professionally taught she was a clever carpenter, often the main provider of income for the family. She was an elegant lady no matter what she wore or how she wore it, and imparted upon Ambie the importance of looking one's best. She adored her husband but seemed to dislike their constant traveling. She'd wanted a more settled like for Ambie, which Vilier would later try to honor. Lulu was one of many taken by the Calamity.

==== '''Friends:''' ====

*[[K'ailia Yohko]]: Headmaster of Ul'dah Garden. Ambie views her as a kind of 'little sister'.

*[[Hokujin Doujin]]: Her roommate in Ul'dah Garden. She believes in him, but his off-kilter nature worries her.

*[[Leanne Starlight]]: An instructor at Ul'dah Garden. Her stubborn nature frustrates Ambie, but she understands she has her reasons.

*[[Bumo Dalumo]]: A Lalafel blacksmith that Ambie affectionately calls 'petite amie'.

==== '''Rumors:''' ====

'''Common Rumors (Easily overheard):'''
*"Poor girl. Heard her father just up and left."
*"She wears that hat like she hates her hair, she does."
*"I was sure that woman was going to drool all over my confections with how long she stood there staring at the chocolates!"

'''Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear):'''
*"When I told her the cake she was sampling was made of carrot, she immediately began to spit and choke and throw a fit about it!"
*"I've seen her stealing long looks at the male Miqo'te that pass through. Her expression gets all soft."
*"Carries herself a bit boyish-like in those clothes. I'm willing to bet she'd look lovely in a dress if she tried."

'''Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard):'''
*"I drank too much and prattled on for what must'a been bells, yet I remember her sitting and listening the whole time with those kind eyes."
*"Came around a bend in the road to hear a right pretty sound once. Sounded like some kinda woodwind instrument. Instead I was surprised to see this Elezen woman resting and whistling a sweet tune to pass the time. She looked a might bit embarrassed when she realized I'd heard."
*"Yeah, she came to me once asking about her father. I couldn't tell her the truth... I just couldn't. Wouldn'tve helped her anyroad, he could be anywhere now. What's important is those Elezen men following behind him. Brr! gave me the chills lookin' at them. If I were her father, I wouldn't want her mixed up in all that. Hells, I don't want to wind up mixed up in it either!"

=== History ===

==== '''Early Childhood''' ====

Ambie was born in the Shroud - an unspecific location that she never thought to ask about as her parents would often travel from place to place. The three of them and a group of other Elezen traveled together and would camp for a moon or two in a place before moving on to the next. As a result Ambie didn't have many lasting friendships with people her own age, especially since she was the only child in her group. She ended up clinging to her parents to fill that emotional need. As she got older she began to adjust to a more independent attitude, but still viewed her father especially as her closest and best friend.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

It's perhaps fortunate that Ambie was knocked unconscious when the Calamity struck, not having to witness the horror around her. All she can recall is one moment it was calm and the next she awoke to find nearly everyone she had ever known was dead. She woke to her father's pleas, and it was the first time she had ever seen him crying. Only two others that traveled with them out of the dozen or so that there were, but they left for lands unknown. Ambie was in shock for about a moon's time, but forced herself into resilience for her father's sake.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

After things had calmed down somewhat and Ambie and her father were back on their feet, Vilier decided to take her to Gridania to start a new, settled life - the kind of life his late wife had always wanted for them. Ambie joined the archer's guild in the hope that it would both bring her some peace of mind by strengthening her mental focus and also help ease the burden she felt she had placed on her father. As Ambie seemingly thrived in her new environment, Vilier seemed to grow more and more discontent. Eventually he sat her down and had a talk about her future, and how she was more than old enough to live on and by her own terms. Despite her protests, Vilier left Gridania to go on a journey - never specifying where he was going.

After trying to live alone for about a month, Ambie decided she needed to go find her father. She sold her home and set out to Ul'dah, thinking perhaps he would be drawn to the Coliseum. On her way she was attacked by the local wildlife and lost many supplies, but a chance encounter with K'ailia lead to her finding a safe place to eat and sleep in Ul'dah Garden. Now, between helping with Garden's various activities and woes, she searches diligently for her father while preparing for each new and unknown step of her journey.

=== History ===

==== '''Early Childhood''' ====

Hokujin was born 21 years before the Calamity, on the 13th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon in Halatali, to Artie and Annabelle Dunkle. Annabelle had contracted a strange illness a month before that she had been struggling to fight off, but died shortly after giving birth to a two-weeks premature Hokujin. Hoku was raised by his father and the other people of Halatali, many of which he was quite close with.

[[File:Artiesmall.png|thumb|left|Hokujin's father, Arthur "Artie" Dunkle.]]
Apart from his many friends, his favorite part about growing up in Halatali was watching the Gladiatorial bouts. He watched brave warriors tackle incredible odds and even more incredible monsters and a spark was ignited inside of Hokujin.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

As the sky split open and fire rained down about the people of Halatali, sending the town into a ruin of which it would never recover, Hokujin and his father did their best to organize the citizens and help them escape to Camp Drybone for shelter. Arthur died as the town crumbled around him, rescuing people from the rubble. Hokujin nearly died himself, as a vicious stone golem managed to escape from the gladiatorial cages during the chaos, and came after the group of children Hokujin was escorting to Camp Drybone. Hokujin fought the brute bare-handed, wrestling it into submission after a brutal fight that left Hokujin with disfiguring facial scars on the left side of his face. But none of the children were harmed.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

Hokujin spent much of the time after the Calamity in Camp Drybone. While many of the Halatali refugees spread throughout Thanalan and Ul'dah, Hokujin had no family, no home, no place to go, so in Drybone he remained. He had a tryst with an older woman during this time - a widow of the Calamity - but their difference in age led to complications and they broke up. During this time, Hokujin became a miner, privately owning his own small-scale mining operation, specializing in non-precious metals and gems. This trade eventually led him to the Silver Bazaar, where fate would have him meet K'ailia Yohko, newly appointed Headmaster of the Ul'dah Garden. She plucked Hokujin from obscurity and set him into the big city of Ul'dah, where Hokujin finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a Gladiator. He now acts as K'ailia's personal guard.

Though he still has much to learn, expect great things from him!

Hokujin is a kind enough bloke. He can be loud, single minded, oft simple, and indeed reckless, but he is always willing to lend his aid to anyone who needs, and makes friends easily. He's always challenging himself, loves a good fight, and keeps strict watch over his physical health with rigorous training and diet. He is loyal to a fault and has a keen eye for bullshit.



==== '''Abilities''':  ====



He is well practiced with a sword and shield, and has a practical understanding of hand-to-hand combat. But his strength lies not in doing damage, but in taking hits. Possessing no magical ability and only average martial prowess, Hokujin prefers to take the brunt of the abuse for his allies, fighting defensively rather than offensively.

*"I'd gotten in bad with some loan sharks trying to feed my family. They came around to my place in Drybone, and were about to cut into my arm to leave me a 'reminder'. Hokujin came to my rescue and took the cut for me. Nasty gash, sure it scarred deep. I didn't even have enough means to repay him..."
*"My sister had gotten a little too tipsy one night out with friends - as young ones are wont to do, y'know? - anyway, gang of thugs decides they can take advantage of her. They get as far as grabbing her shirt when Hokujin, in the dead of night mind you, leaps out of the shadows in naught but his night clothes and beats the thugs into a bloody pulp, ties 'em up outside the Immortal Flames office, then takes my sister home! I can't tell if he's a guardian angel or some kind of monster..."

=== History ===

==== '''Early Childhood''' ====

Hokujin was born 21 years before the Calamity, on the 13th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon in Halatali, to Artie and Annabelle Dunkle. Annabelle had contracted a strange illness a month before that she had been struggling to fight off, but died shortly after giving birth to a two-weeks premature Hokujin. Hoku was raised by his father and the other people of Halatali, many of which he was quite close with.

Apart from his many friends, his favorite part about growing up in Halatali was watching the Gladiatorial bouts. He watched brave warriors tackle incredible odds and even more incredible monsters and a spark was ignited inside of Hokujin.

==== '''The Calamity''' ====

As the sky split open and fire rained down about the people of Halatali, sending the town into a ruin of which it would never recover, Hokujin and his father did their best to organize the citizens and help them escape to Camp Drybone for shelter. Arthur died as the town crumbled around him, rescuing people from the rubble. Hokujin nearly died himself, as a vicious stone golem managed to escape from the gladiatorial cages during the chaos, and came after the group of children Hokujin was escorting to Camp Drybone. Hokujin fought the brute bare-handed, wrestling it into submission after a brutal fight that left Hokujin with disfiguring facial scars on the left side of his face. But none of the children were harmed.

==== '''Post-Calamity to Present Day''' ====

Hokujin spent much of the time after the Calamity in Camp Drybone. While many of the Halatali refugees spread throughout Thanalan and Ul'dah, Hokujin had no family, no home, no place to go, see in Drybone he remained. He had a tryst with an older woman during this time - a widow of the Calamity - but their difference in age led to complications and they broke up. During this time, Hokujin became a miner, privately owning his own small-scale mining operation, specializing in non-precious metals and gems. This trade eventually led him to the Silver Bazaar, where fate would have him meet K'ailia Yohko, newly appointed Headmaster of the Ul'dah Garden. She plucked Hokujin from obscurity and set him into the big city of Ul'dah, where Hokujin finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a Gladiator. He now acts as K'ailia's personal guard.

Though he still has much to learn, expect great things from him!
