== Basic Info ==

S'imba is a young Miqo'te who's owned by a member of the Syndicate. He is forced to fight in the coliseum where he makes his owner a small fortune in gill each fight. Due to his young age and bitterness of becoming a slave he can be slightly aggressive. But he is a kind soul at heart and is willing to stand up for his friends and those unable to defend themselves. He's a little reckless and finds himself in trouble often. He won't back down from a challenge and is always up for a spar with basically anyone. He spends a lot of time at the quicksand at the behest of his owner to "Promote himself by being seen by the masses." He dreams of gaining his freedom and becoming an adventurer so he can have stories to tell.

His intentions are good though he feels he has been forced to kill many innocent people he gets faced with in the ring. He fights for the freedom of others as well as himself, however due to the manipulations of his master he finds himself becoming increasingly more aggressive outside of the ring. His fear of losing himself and killing someone outside of an official fight terrifies him because he feels it would represent finally losing himself and becoming just another of his masters mindless toys.

== Personality ==

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Quirks</u>'''''</span> ===

*He's a bit of a spaz.
*He can't help but get into some sort of trouble...much to the dismay of his friends.

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Flaws</u>'''''</span> ===

*'''Reckless''' He tends to run into battle without thinking about the odds or the consequences. This has led him to several sticky situations. Especially if one of his friends are in trouble he'll drop whatever he's doing to help them even if it is essentially suicide.

*'''Aggressive''' He has a hot streak in him. Faced with massive frustration in trying to gain his freedom doesn't help. His owner forces him to take drugs that increase this in him as well. He has no problem asserting his dominance over others.

*'''Addiction''' In order to control his slaves his owner forces drugs on them until they are dependent upon their usage. They also tend to cause or precipitate existing flaws. Such as aggression, paranoia, and the feeling of being invincible. Add to the fact that it increases strength and stamina makes it the drug of choice to force upon him. Without it S'imba is forced through massive withdrawal that causes severe and unbearable that try as he might forces him to return to his owner.

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Fears</u>'''''</span> ===

Nothing is known yet.

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Talents</u>'''''</span> ===

*'''Resourceful''' Despite regularly getting in over his head. S'imba can quickly adapt and change tactics. He uses the making it up as you go method for most of his plans.

*'''Determination''' S'imba has a never give up attitude. If one of his friends is threatened he will give everything he has to help them. Even if he's hopelessly outnumbered with little chance of victory he will still refuse to back up or back down. It's how he was taught to fight in the ring so it's really the only way he knows.

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Intelligence</u>'''''</span> ===

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Comparisons</u>'''''</span> ===

== Abilities and Skills ==

=== '''''<u>Personal</u>''''' ===

*Like all Miqo'te he has naturally heightened reflexes and cat like instincts. This serves him well in the ring as it gives it has ensured he has survived matches against opponents that should have killed him.

*Due to his owner using drugs that gives him enhanced abilities such as improved speed, strength, and agility. It also gives him a strange resilience to poisons and his ability to metabolize them. This also gives him the ability to metabolize alcohol at a rapid rate giving the impression that he can really hold his drink. Though these abilities come with a huge drawback the drugs are highly addictive and cause him to go through intolerable withdrawals that cause complete cramping of his body and cloud his mind so he can't even think straight. This effectively ensures he doesn't run away again and keeps him in Thanalan.

=== '''''<u>Weapons</u>''''' ===

*Various forms of martial arts augmented with fist weapons.

=== '''''<u>Magic</u>''''' ===

*He doesn't really understand magic other than do whatever you can to dodge it.

Unknown.
*'''[[Vash Ashford]]''' ''Adopted Brother'' Another of S'imba's friends that was the result of a bar fight. When he found out S'imba was a slave fighting in pit fights he took interest in S'imba and vowed to see him free of his chains. It wasn't until later that he told S'imba that he too used to be a slave who broke free of his own chains several years prior. Because of this S'imba is able to look up to him as an older brother who understands what S'imba is going through. If it wasn't for his persistent worry over S'imba he would more than likely lose himself for good. Vash has even gone so far as to convince S'imba to let him be taken back into bondage after S'imba told him how lonely and hopeless he felt whenever he had to be alone when he was chained and caged. Though S'imba still isn't comfortable with the idea of Vash doing this for him the very thought of it gives him hope that he won't be alone in all this much longer, although S'imba has procrastinated this because the thought of seeing Vash in chains after escaping once combined with how hopeless he feels about it even being possible to escape causes him to feel like he is asking to much of the man.

=== <br/><u>'''''<span style="font-size:medium;">Positive</span>'''''</u> ===
*'''[[Nanarou Garnin]]''' Despite their rocky start in which S'imba was informed he was a "Mangy Cat" she always seemed to be around when he got into trouble. Eventually when S'imba was crushed by his emotions and was in the process of killing another Miqo'te she showed up just in time and snapped him out of it. After comforting him she started over by inviting him to join her free company "Order of the Compass" Which she told him was the very representation of being free. Since that was his dream he jumped on board and now she keeps an eye on him making sure he controls his temper and keeping him out of trouble, even though she has that annoying tendency to show up whenever he was ready to get into some kind of trouble. Recently however he ran into some other members of his company in the quicksand where they were talking about their leader Sven and the evil he actually represented. See tried to warn S'imba to leave and eventually ended up abducting him to protect him. Though after she took him to the house and Sven showed up to punish him for his betrayal she ran away. He has not seen her since but despite her actions S'imba still trusts her.

*'''[[Charlotte Tiln]]''' S'imba met Charlotte after she rescued him from her brother Siegfried. While initially he didn't trust her when he found out who her family was after she helped him deal with the crushing feelings he was having about being torn away from his home, she quickly become someone he relies on for emotional support. Though he soon found out about how much she was dealing with herself he did everything he could to allow her to get rested from her troubles. He does harbor feelings for her but knows she doesn't reciprocate them.

*'''[[Arvic Ryne]]''' Shared a drink with Arvic in the Quicksand one night while they were talking Nanarou jumped in between them both, which was coincidentally when he met her as well. Despite Nanarou belittling S'imba; Arvic became his friend. Arvic is one of the individuals who encourages S'imba to continue fighting for his freedom, and helped him by finding out what the ingredients were for the drugs that control S'imba.

*'''[[S'vett Tia]]''' S'imba met S'vett when S'imba was in the process of trying to kill Siegfried. At the behest of Mylene Wharf S'vett tried to stop S'imba while he was attacking Siegfried, despite being thrown off when he tried to tackle S'imba he jumped back into the fray pulling back on S'imba's collar until Nanarou showed up and snapped S'imba out of it. A few days later S'vett approached S'imba in the bar where they became friends after S'vett decided to help S'imba learn about where he comes from. Despite S'vett saying he's not a great warrior for his fear of big monsters, S'imba believes that he's got the "right stuff" and intends to fix that by putting him face to face with a Morbol though he doesn't know how S'vett feels about that.

*'''[[Mylene Wharf]]''' S'imba first met Mylene while he was recovering from being tortured by Siegfried Tiln. She helped patch him up and comfort him. Later he found out that she was close friends with Charlotte which meant that even though Mylene was dating Siegfried he held no ill will against her. When he later attacked Siegfried he inadvertently hurt her when she tried to stop him from attacking him. Due to this S'imba assumes that she must feel him a violent animal. Most recently he ran into her and found out she had been abandoned by the siblings as well, caused him to feel extreme remorse as compared to hhow they hurt him she seemed to have suffered even more. Despite the effect his S'imba's actions may have had on her she still stood up for him when a Nuhn provoked him into a fight.

*'''[[Aerostein Epitaph]]''' When S'imba was cursed Aerostein risked his own life to heal him. He is also another of Gus Pumpkinweed's model who S'imba sees as a rival. The man knows exactly how to get on S'imba's nerves and gets highly annoyed when he refers to him as a child. However he has healed S'imba on several other occasions led S'imba to tell him his history when Aero inquired about his past.

*'''[[Aaron Glacier]]''' While he had originally met Aaron through the pumpkin it wasn't until he found out that he had nearly killed another of S'imba's friends due to him being in possession of a cursed sword that had possessed him. One of S'imba's friends who was hunting a bounty on the man challenged him to a fight. The bounty hunter made S'imba promise to finish Aaron if he failed. As S'imba watched them fight it took everything he had not to jump in and do the job himself. His mindset reverting to his pit fighting instincts he took all his drug he had pushing him into a state of a crazed animal. His ability to even feel pain was wicompletely blocked and his body was pushed to it's absolute limits. He rushed in right as Aaron was about to finish his friend. S'imba jumped in between the pair. Both blinded to everything except the seething loathing towards they clashed. The drugs allowed S'imba to fight on an even level as the incredibly powerful voidsent enhanced Hyur. With Aaron distracted it gave the other three mages a chance to stop them both. Despite them being incredibly skilled mages it took the combined efforts of Dev, Aerostein, and Dresden to over come the fighting pairs respective enhancements and put them to sleep. After this and they were returned to their proper state of mind they became much more civil with each other. After several other misadventures including a journey into a cave of pirates with crazy Fab S'imba has come to see Aaron as a friend though S'imba has taken to tormenting the man...going so far as to sick Towering Falcon on him.

*'''[[Jacob Pestis]]''' Known only by the name Jacob this man is S'imba's owner. He's a mysterious individual of which little is actually known about other than he's a member of the syndicate of Ul'dah and that he is also head of an extensive criminal organization. No one knows where he comes from or how he gained his seemingly bottomless pile of wealth but one thing is certain and that is he is not only evil to the core but he's also a genius everything seems to be calculated out and is two steps ahead of everyone else. Anytime it seems like S'imba or his friends have him outsmarted it turns out to be just another of his manipulations designed to break S'imba's spirit. What's worse is even with all of this and despite his apparent goals there is something even more sinister behind his ambition still.

*'''[[Siegfried Tiln]]''' Siegfried was one of S'imba's friends and someone he looked up to. However after Siegfried received a tip that S'imba had information on his goals he drugged S'imba which after he woke up found himself tied up. Siegfried then proceeded to torture him for this information which he had no idea what he was talking about, after hours of pain at Siegfried's brutal torture he found himself ready to give up all hope when Charlotte Tiln jumped out and attacked Siegfried saving S'imba. Later he approached S'imba after which S'imba's anger taking control of him proceeded to beat him him with the intent of killing him. After injuring several bystanders attempting to stop him S'imba was finally snapped out of his rage by Nanarou Garnin.

*'''[[Sven Volkorus]]''' The first time S'imba encountered this black mage he appeared to be a friendly, charming, and adventurous individual. However as S'imba looked into his eyes he could feel nothing but sheer terror of the man, despite this S'imba put it in the back of his mind even after witnessing his obsession with power as S'imba and Arvic stood beside him while Nanarou dueled another black mage. After S'imba joined the Order of the Compass he called for his help out of desperation when one of S'imba's friends was under the control of his owner by some form of mind control. Sven told him he was more than willing to help to free her from the power that controlled her provided he receive "payment" for the task. S'imba agreed desperate to help his friend during the process when he was breaking the curse S'imba witnessed the pleasure he took in the pain and suffering of others and couldn't help but wonder what kind of person Sven truly was. Afterwards he met with S'imba to discuss the payment which though seemingly insignificant S'imba would come to regret. A short time later S'imba met several other members of the Order where they told him about who Sven truly was and their conspiracy against him, in a panic S'imba revealed his debt to the others which resulted in Nanarou and Arvic (who was out of he loop of what was going on) kidnapping him. They took him back to the Orders headquarters where Nanarou was in the process of explaining what was going on when Sven arrived on scene. S'imba had no idea why but Sven was furious with him for betraying him. Nanarou left the room while Arvic stayed behind despite Nanarou's protests, he could only watch as Sven gathered aether into his hands before grabbing S'imba by the chest and torturing him as he burned a set of runes into it which would cause him to relive the experience anytime he did anything contrary to Sven's will. It was finally at this point that S'imba realized what his payment was and found himself a slave to a second master. Eventually S'imba found himself free of his hold and with any luck Sven will have forgotten who he is.

S'imba was born in the Sagoli Desert, as an infant he was strong and full of life bringing great pride to his parents. One day however a Nomadic Tia entered his tribes territory and challenged the Nuhn to combat. The aggressive Tia killed the Nuhn in combat and took complete control of the Tribe, his first order of business was to kill all the previous Nuhn's young that had been recently born in order to make the females fertile and receptive to him. S'imba's mother unable to let her child be killed ran from the tribe, as she ran for her life because she knew that her life was now forfeit. She came upon a Hyur from La Nosca who was an adventurer and was seeing the world one last time before he retired with his wife and son. Not having any other choice because she begged the adventurer to take her son and raise him as his own. The Hyur was reluctant at first but upon thinking of his own son and moved by the woman's pleas took S'imba. After telling the Hyur his son's name she ran away hoping to draw any attention away from the Hyur who was now in possession of her son.

The Hyur then took S'imba back to his newly built home in La Nosca away from any civilization as he did not want his family to be faced with the troubles the rest of the world brought. He raised S'imba as his own child along with his other son happy to enjoy his retirement to a much more simple life.

As he grew S'imba never had any idea of him being adopted. In fact all he believed that though he was born looking a little different from his brother, he thought he was a Hyur just like the rest of his family. Due to his heritage and natural abilities that being a Miqo'te brought he was a natural at hunting and the other skills needed to live away from any type of city, he begin to outshine his brother and unfortunately due to his fathers heritage as a great warrior seemed to give slightly more affection towards S'imba than his real son. Slowly his brothers Jealousy began to grow.

When S'imba turned sixteen his bother had finally had enough he left the house one night intent on running away to find the lands his father had spoken about and had sometimes visited to buy supplies for their home. As he had never left home before he just wandered until he found a small town. It was a pirate town full of cutthroats and other lowlives. While he was here he discovered that S'imba was not a Hyur he was a separate race and based on the drunkenness of the sailors was a member of a savage race. While he was there he learned of money and what it could get you in life. One evening he saw some slavers dealing Miqo'te and overheard how much they were worth on the market. He walked over curious as the maliciousness grew even more in his heart, and made a deal with them that night and formed the plot in his mind.

The next day he returned home on his way he was faced by a wild coural and was nearly killed by it had S'imba not found him just in time to rescue him. As they walked back to their house they talked and S'imba asked him where he had gone. His brother told him part of the truth and that he had visited some of the places their father talked about, though he expressed his worry about what their father was going to do to him when they returned to him. They both couldn't help but feel their great love for each other at that moment. When they got home and his brother was asked where he had gone to S'imba jumped in and said that he had gotten lost and that he had saved him from a courel. At this moment his brother nearly changed his mind about his plans until his father praised S'imba for his skill and bravery and condemned his true son for his recklessness and cowardess. He went to his room and completed his plan.

A few weeks later he went and found S'imba and told him that their father was finally letting them go to town and that they were to take one of their chocobo's to sell. With great excitement S'imba chased after him and they were on their way to town. When they finally arrived there was so much to take in the smells the life everything. They stopped to eat for lunch as his brother thought it was fit that they should share one last meal together. After a delicious meal in the tropical sun and much laughter they went down to the docks where they were supposed to meet the buyers of the chocobo. When they arrived the buyers smiled and said a "fine beast may we examine him further?" his brother motioned to S'imba and he walked the chocobo over to them. When he held out the reins of the bird he was surprised when a few of the men grabbed him and started examining him ripping off his shirt and stripping him down to his small clothes they examined him carefully looking for any defects they could find. S'imba struggled as best he could as the stronger men placed him in chains and the leader laughs out "A fine specimen, never seen one like him." he said as he threw a large sack of gil to his brother. Catching the bag he met S'imba's eyes as they drug him onto the ship and said to him "I'm sorry brother..." he said before turning around and heading away.

After they had secured their cargo S'imba felt rocking of the ship and was crushed by the feelings of what had just happened and cried the entire time he was on the ship. Finally the light to the hatch was opened and he was drug out into the hot desert sun. After a long day of travel he was brought to a camp and was re-examined and appraised afterwards they branded a number into his back and wrote up several pages of paperwork to document him. Next he was rushed off to the markets where potential buyers gave him the same rough examination over and over for what felt like days. Finally someone bought him for a hefty amount and he was soon off with them. For about a month S'imba worked for this guy before he tried to run away. He escaped his master ans found a group of adventurers to join up with who were willing to take him to Gridania. When the man who owned the slave market and had sold S'imba found out about it and having to make good on his guarantee spared no expense in having him tracked down and brought back to him.

'''Runaway'''
S'imba looked to the other adventurers he had just crossed high bridge. The first one was a Highlander and a sultansworn. He wasn't a part of the group he had joined because he had over heard the talk of the rest of the group and sworn to see S'imba free. The next member was a Midlander Black Mage she was well versed in magic and had explored the deeper depths of the void. Next was the Keeper White mage though she was new to healing she was rather adapt at the healing magics. Finally the Roe monk he had taken to teaching S'imba to fight so he could defend himself if needed. Despite S'imba saying he never wanted to kill anyone. "Never forget that." The monk would say. "The time may come when you have no choice but to defend yourself and take a life. That thought will be what will keep you who you are." S'imba would nod not knowing what the monk fully meant. Shortly after they crossed the bridge and were on the final stretch to the shroud they came upon a Roe in a suit standing in the middle of the road with a dark smile on his face. The Sultansworn nodded to him but as he tried to pass the Roe blocked his path staring at S'imba. "Why do you block our path?" The paladin would ask. "What is it you want?" The Roe simply pointed at S'imba, the paladin would then draw his sword the Roe would reach forth and snap the Highlander's neck. Immediately the monk would jump forth striking the Roe with everything he had. The Roe would not even flinch however and without ever losing his smile punched him in the stomach then brought an elbow down on his neck. Next he went for the Keeper all he would do to her is throw her against a nearby rock where she would lay dead. Finally all that was left between S'imba and the Roe was the black mage despite her unloading her fire on him he just keep walking and placing his hands on her head crushed the life out of her. At last turning his head on S'imba who had been watching in horror tried to run away but the Roe was faster. He caught S'imba he fought back with everything he had but was just as ineffective as everyone else's. Grabbing hold of S'imba he lashed his hands together in front with rope and peaveing plenty of tail on it so he could pull him along. "Come" he would finally saysay giving a firm tug on the rope dragging S'imba forward and onto his stomach started dragging him along. Quickly scrambling to his feet he followed along tears in his eyes feeling guilt over the loss over his new friends as the Roe drug him back to Ul'dah at a rapid pace never giving S'imba a chance to rest.

'''Thrown into the ring and marked forever''' After being drug back to Ul'dah S'imba was brought before a man whose face was hidden by the shadows. "Hello S'imba." He would say. "You've been a very bad boy, as the Eorzea's premier supplier of slaves you've placed a black mark on my business. You've caused my number one customer think that I sold him a defective animal. As such I had to refund his money which means you belong to me and I will see you properly broken. Take him to proccessing." With that S'imba was drug down into a dungeon where they chained his arms above his head. He was then approached by a sadistic looking Elezen. "Ah this one is a fiery one seems he's headed to the pits then." He said before addressing S'imba directly. "Disgusting animal you are here because of your disobedience and lack of understanding of your station. As such you will no longer be considered a person you no longer have the rights and privileges afforded to a person. You can never be set free and must always be owned." He said grabbing a brand from a the forge which he then pressed against the side of his face. "This marks you for what you truly are a beast that must be subjugated to mankind." He then measured S'imba's neck and set to work forging a collar muttering incantations while he worked. After it was completed he placed it around his neck and riveted on so that S'imba would never be able to remove it. "If you ever try and remove this it will kill you. Now take him to his room. With that he was taken into a lonely room which had several empty cages. L"Make yourself at home." Said one of the men who were dragging him." As the other went and opened a cage, which they threw him into and quickly chained him to it as well. "Get your rest you'll need it." S'imba felt completely alone and hopeless and several days later he was taken out and thrown into a ring in front of an enormous crowd. On the other side a gladiator came at him with a sword raised. Using his simple training he was quick enough to dodge the gladiator grab his sword and tear it from his hands and thrust it through his heart. The crowd roared both cheering and booing him. He was quickly hauled off again and brought before his new master. "Your going to make me quite a bit of money." He said with an evil smile. "Turn him into a killer!!" With that he was taken back to his cage where they administered drugs and forced him to gain a addiction to them. During this time he would also be taken out and brutally trained for days. They would push him until he collapsed then beat him until he continued. Until he was ready for his next fight.

The drugs he was given both control him and enhance his abilities, his past now a memory and knowing only the ring, the pressures of his situation are starting to get to him. Despite this he has made friends who all want to help him out of his situation.

==Order of the Compass==
One night at the quicksand S'imba was hanging out in his spot on the floor when a female Lalafell approached him and started to harass him about being a "cat-boy" who was only out looking to breed. When S'imba asked why she hated Miqo'te she responded with "There are too many of ye." After a few minutes of this she ran off to speak to a Sultansworn. At this point S'imba went over to the bar where he met Arvic. While they were sharing stories the Lalafell returned to terrorize
S'imba some more and she mounted herself on the stool between the pair. While she continued to rip S'imba a new one her mentor showed up and sat at the other side of him where they both properly introduced themselves as black mages, the Hyur was named Sven Voulkas and the Lalafell was Nanarou Garnin. After Arvic and S'imba spoke with them for a while until they all needed to leave for one reason or another.

S'imba ran in Nanarou several times after that usually while he was in the middle of some scene scene or another which she never failed to take a detour of whatever she may be doing at the time to go tell him what she thought of him. Eventually he ran into her arguing with another black mage which ended up with him following them out of the city so they could duel. S'imba watched the duel alongside Arvic and Sven as the pair showed off their great display of power which led to Nanarou summoning meteor. While S'imba looked on in awe at the fight he couldn't help but notice that there was something off about Sven and what appeared to be bloodlust in his eye.

Sometime later the night that Siegfried returned to see S'imba after he had tortured him. S'imba noticed Nanarou in the bar already filled with absolute hatred of the man in front of him seeing her and knowing that he was about to receive more of her abuse pushed him over the edge he didn't notice her leave but during his absence he completely lost it and started beating the hell out of Siegfried. During the fight when he had just about killed him she returned and yelled out to him as her voice was the only one in the crowd he recognized she was the one that was finally able to snap him out of it. She led him out of the bar before the rest of the patrons noticed he was gone and she took him to a secluded area where she told him they needed a fresh start. She told him that she had been watching over him intervening whenever he was about to get into trouble and had regretted leaving when she had seen how agitated he had been around Siegfried. It was at this point she invited him to join the order of the compass so she could keep an eye on him and help him keep his temper under control. He couldn't resist especially about how much of her recruitment speech involved that their company stood for freedom so he naturally joined right up.

Immediately after joining he was introduced to Shark a monk who would come to keep a close eye on S'imba. At this point S'imba didn't know any of the other members of the order and he didn't really want to get in their way. So he kinda just kept his head down he'd see Arvic and Nana on several occasions with Arvic getting him out of some trouble with some Brass Blades after they had arrested him and were beating him. Afterwards after Arvic released S'imba from the chains the blades had placed on him he called for a healer. Shark came and had brought Sorcha, a talented and highly skilled white mage, with him. After Sorcha healed S'imba he thanked her little did she know the headache and worry he would cause her in the order. The next day a friend of S'imba came to see him having heard of the previous days events. S'imba quickly realized she had been possessed and not knowing any other mages contacted Sven. This would be one of the biggest mistakes S'imba would ever make. Sven told S'imba he would help him and they could discuss payment afterwards desperate S'imba agreed to his terms. The pair ended up taking the girl to the Sultan tree where Sven proceeded to invoke his black magic releasing her from the magic that controlled her. Immediately afterwards they were attacked by a legion of blades in which Sven wasted no time in dropping a meteor on. The entire time S'imba couldn't help but notice there seemed to be a madness that existed inside him. Afterwards Sven told S'imba what he expected in payment which in reality was S'imba pledging his servitude to the man...

'''The true colors of Sven Voulkus''' Some time later S'imba was at the bar in the quicksand he found a seat in the crowded bar when the three strangers next to him recognized him as a member of the order. The were Xaxareaux Garnin (Nanarou's younger brother), Zedd Magee, and Gunnjborn Darkblade. They welcomed him as the newest recruit and bought a round for him. As they spoke the conversation turned dark they wanted to get S'imba in on a project. Suddenly S'imba heard Nanarou speaking in his mind to leave at once that the people he was talking to would only bring him trouble. Despite the warning S'imba continued to listen. They spoke about how Sven was actually a unstable psychotic madman who wanted to burn the world to nothing so that it could be reborn properly. They were conspiring to kill the man, S'imba was sucked into this whole scheme after he told them that he owed Sven and as Nanarou spoke to his mind and the group talked about how dangerous Sven really was he began to panic. Nanarou who had actually been spying on them cast a sleep spell on S'imba to shut him up. The trio thinking he had passed out from hyperventilation decided to take him somewhere quieter when Zedd said "Are we kidnapping him?" to which Gunn responded "Yep" as they hauled S'imba out of the bar and into the ally behind the quicksand. To be continued....

==Memory Lost==
Waking up in a free company bed after Shark and Arvic had taken the amulet. He had no idea where he was or for that matter who he was. He stood up to try and find some answers and heard a voice calling to him. It was Pup, S'imba had no idea who he was. This of course made the blind lalafell angry with S'imba at first but that was soon replaced by tears as his buddy now had no idea who he was. About this time Shark arrived and explained everything to Pup who began venting on Shark for the whole incident. This was until S'imba had made his way to the door when Pup yelled at him."Where do you think your going?" Shocked S'imba replied. "I just wanted to go have a look around." Pup devastated not knowing how to respond to such an innocent request suddenly had his anger subside and said "Alright I'll show you around." Luckily Pup had bumped around enough that he knew the area pretty good and was able to show S'imba around fairly easy. Unfortunately for S'imba, Pup had some unexpected business come up that needed to be taken care of. With no other choice he left him at the quicksand so Momodi could keep an eye on him until Pup got back. S'imba was there for several hours he met new friends as well as old friends most of which were more than happy to help him. As far as the situation went it was a fairly good day if one didn't count the amnesia. That was until he found out he was supposed to fight a Roe known as the Butcher of Mor Dohna. He decided there was some sort of mistake and that he would talk to Pup about it later. Finally later in the evening Pup returned for him and took him back to the house. When they had arrived S'imba recounted the days events. Pup smiled the entire time that was until S'imba came to what he heard about having to fight the Roe. Despite Pup telling him he was a slave and that he was seen as little more than an animal S'imba hadn't really grasped the concept. "I'm not going to fight him, they can't make me it's my choice." S'imba would say to Pup. "S'imba from what I understand what you've told me you don't." Pup would be forced to reply to him. "But I'm a person they should listen to me if I explain it to them they'll understand that I don't want to do it." He'd tell Pup. "S'imba I don't think they will." Pup would reply to S'imba he didn't know how to tell someone that they didn't even own themselves. "You see these people don't really see you as a person to them your just some kind of animal." As S'imba's heart fell into his stomach as what Pup was saying started to sink in. "But I'm not how could someone ever do think that about me?" S'imba would say his voice breaking as his eyes started to well up in tears. "Because their monsters they don't care about anyone. They only care about money." Pup would reply standing up on the couch and walking over and setting a hand on his shoulder as S'imba cried. "I'm going to die." S'imba said before Pup gave a reassuring squeeze. "Your a good fighter and despite you forgetting your body will remember. Shark says that although you may be small you fight like a cornered zaz. Your going to be fine." He would say before heading downstairs to bed. With that S'imba gave a reassured smile but would lie down on the couch and silently cry into the night until he finally fell asleep.

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

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

Berrod Armstrong is a crude-mannered street thug who hails from Ul'Dah, seeking means of survival in post-Calamity Eorzea. He suffers from amnesia, quite unable to remember anything about his life before 1574. Despite his memory loss he's resolved to move forward and not look back, forging new friendships and making new enemies along the road to his goals.

===Appearance===

Berrod is a tall and solidly built Highlander male, reaching a proud height of six fulms and five ilms with two hundred and forty-nine ponz of bulky, well-worked muscle. His most distinguishable feature is the shock of red hair that peaks on his head, previously untidy and windswept. Recently he has taken to shaving the sides of his head to maintain a tied tail in the middle. Bright green eyes peer from behind an oft-folded brow, the prelude to a rather roughly handsome face accented with a neatly trimmed red beard about his hard, square jaw.

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

===Behavior===

Given the enviromnent that he comes from (the streets of Ul'Dah), Berrod has developed a rather crude, rough, violent and short-tempered personality. The man is as easily pleased as he is angered, however, and finds pleasure in simple things such sharing a meal with friends.

When in a good mood, Berrod is often crudely flirtatious and prone to levity, releasing loud and scandalous barks of laughter. As anger takes over he's quick to resort to violence, not caring how imposing his target is. The Highlander is no stranger to obscene language and has no qualms about belting out profanities -- regardless of who is around.

Berrod is also a persistent and hardworking individual, willing to do what it takes to achieve a goal. This manifests in his tendency to work long hours at whatever job he finds as well as train incessantly until he is satisfied with his level of progress.

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

Berrod is a registered member of the Pugilist's Guild, though he keeps his involvement with the actual institution to a minimum. His fighting style employs powerful blows delivered with his fists and feet, fuelled by the muscles about his frame. Only recently has the Highlander begun to make use of the aether, training to attain a heightened state which allows him to deliver more devastating blows, lanced with lightning. A great deal of his strength lies in his actual physical strength and endurance, which respectively allow his hits to land harder and let him take more blows. His techniques are self-practiced and a bit sloppy, however, something that any skilled martial artist can take advantage of in a fight.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Berrod has not yet mastered the Heart; it is a work in progress.

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

Berrod has no surviving family at present, nor does he have any memory of his actual family.

===Friends/Lovers===

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

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

[[Corin Winterborne]] was Berrod's employer at the Spectrum Lounge. The blue-haired Highlander and Berrod often butted heads due to their headstrong nature. After several clashes and wrongs to each other on each side -- some of which ended in blood -- the two came to a basic understanding of one another and became friends. Within that frienship bloomed mutual attraction, something neither of them could rightfully act on on account of their other commitments at the time. Over the next few moons their relationship went through periods of ups and downs, something that Berrod has compared to the Astral and Umbral eras. The pair have not seen much of each other due to life's recent circumstances, but there is no doubt that their dynamic remains the same.

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

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

===Friends/Acquaintances===

[[A'Kon Tia]] was a chance meeting in Western Thanalan. The subsequent tour of Ul'dah he gave to the young Seeker established a friendship between the two. Berrod enjoyed the title of 'Uncle' that A'kon had granted him, and found himself fulfilling that role often -- whether he meant to or not. Currently they both reside at the same Inn at the Silver Bazaar in Thanalan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Enemies===

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

==History/Timeline==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Currently Berrod continues to manage the tavern, known as The Bloody Knuckles.

Unquestionably good at first glance.

== Personality ==

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Quirks</u>'''''</span> ===

Warren does his best to speak "properly" and devoid of slang or accent. If he is heard cursing in public, something is wrong.

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Flaws</u>'''''</span> ===

*Warren is perhaps ''too'' wanting to help. He's a bit naive when it comes to playing "hero" despite his efforts otherwise.

*Warren prefers natural healing over magic or alchemical solutions. He won't refuse treatment if the wound is bad enough but he prefers to keep his bruises and abrasions.

*Warren keeps his walls very high and very secure. He is slow to trust anyone and prefers people see him only as his title.

*Warren has constantly demonstrated a willingness to neglect himself when focused on another task he deems important enough. During times of strife, he will often ignore sleep and sustenance for as long as he can despite knowing it will only serve to impede him once they catch up with him.

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Fears</u>'''''</span> ===

He would have you believe he doesn't know the meaning of the word. In reality, he is deathly afraid of failing, letting down or otherwise losing the few people he has come to rely upon.

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Talents</u>'''''</span> ===

Due to his size and upbringing, Warren is strong and a dedicated swordsman. He also prizes his powers of perception.

=== '''''<u>Personal</u>''''' ===

*While lacking any true break-out abilities, he is thankful for his naturally high constitution and powerful musculature.

=== '''''<u>Weapons</u>''''' ===

*Warren considers himself proficient with a sword and shield. He is an amateur at hand to hand combat but attempts to make up for his lack of discipline with raw power. He really, really wishes there was a Brawler class in the game.

=== '''''<u>Magic</u>''''' ===

*None known.

=== '''''<u>Crafting</u>''''' ===

*Warren is proficient with a hammer and anvil. As long as you don't expect anything of master quality from him, he is perfectly capable of maintaining and repairing his arms and armor.

== Affiliations ==

*Warren is not affiliated with any specific Company.

== General Stuff ==
Warren Castille is most frequently seen looming over the patrons of the Quicksand on any given evening. Plenty have overheard him make his declaration before: The people of Ul'dah are downtrodden and restless and it is important to him that they are aware not everyone with official station is out to exploit them. He works tirelessly to win over the people of Ul'dah as their servant and protector when needed, and given the propensity for violence when tempers run high he is often situated in Momodi's establishment, hoping to help keep the peace.

Warren freely admits to being a private person. He won't often talk about himself barring a few anecdotes and things of relation to someone else's stories or problems. When not on duty, Warren is a hard man to find.

He is known for his stoicism. It has been mistaken for him being a bit of a grump.

== The Grindstone ==
Warren has become something of a fixture at the weekly Grindstone tournament. Frequently standing a head or more above his competition, he is clearly visible in the pre-fight line-ups and one of the few regulars without a tail swinging behind him. He fights with only his bare hands to defend himself and has accumulated surprisingly few scars despite his decision to fight bare chested, though by his own admission he feels it is only a matter of time before he gets carved up.

Warren has been returned recently to the Grindstone after being away for several weeks.

Warren has won the Grindstone once in his career as a fighter there.

Current Record: 5-7

== Timeline / Recent Events ==

<u><b>Menphina's Joke</b></u>
:*The tensions with [[Coatleque Crofte]] seem to have been replaced with tension of a different sort. The two have been drawn closer to one another and have been seen together with greater frequency outside of their overlapping duties at the Quicksand.<br />

<u><b>Frost and Shadow</b></u>
:*Not all is peaceful in the aftermath of the events in Coerthas. Howl has returned to Ul'dah but there is work left to be done in the snowy mountains.

<u><b>Blood on the Sands</b></u>
:*During the attempted assassination of the Sultana, Warren was able to hold off [[Osric Melkire]] and his band of assailants. Immediately following, he assisted [[Coatleque Crofte]] with the removal of the explosive collar she'd been afflicted with thanks to the training from [[Askier Mergrey]].<br />

Roen Deneith

{{Infobox-character

| clan = Midlander
}}

==<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #0f0e1c;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">General</div>==

Roen is a young woman in her early 20's. She is often seen wearing armor, heavy or medium depending on the environment, and a sword and shield are never far from her side. Her auburn hair is usually tucked under her helm in battle and when she is on active duty, and her lean but toned frame shows evidence of training; she is clearly accustomed to wearing armor most of her days. One prized possession is her armor, gifted to her by a grateful client from her previous employment. She keeps it well oiled and in excellent repair, for she does not own anything else of real worth. She also carries finely forged sword crafted by her brother, and these possessions may disguise the fact that she is not a person of great wealth. But despite her humble disposition, Roen's carriage tends to indicate that she's had a wellborn upbringing.

==<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #0f0e1c;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Behavior</div>==

{| align=left
|-
|
[[File:RoenHelm.jpg |230px|]]
|}

She's mostly quiet. Roen often holds her tongue on matters she considers not important. But she is quick to come to the defense of the weak and does not hesitate to stand up to bullies, even when she is sorely outmatched or outnumbered. She is not quick to anger, but sometimes eager to commit herself to causes she believes are right. Emotions show easily upon her face, and she is a horrible liar. She tries her best not to do it often, if at all.

Roen does not speak of herself too often, and is quick to grow wary when the conversation turns to details of her past. She also does not make small talk well; she is seen as quite serious by most, and some might even accuse her of lacking any sense of humor whatsoever. The truth of her guarded demeanor is more complex, of course, but few understand that. She smiles rarely... but when she does it is always genuine. She offers her aid easily, and takes people at their word. Some may consider her polite to a fault especially when they have only recently met. Often her speech can be considered to be formal, although with a hint of a dialect that is not native to Eorzea.

Roen has an inquisitive mind and is quick to learn, and any teaching of craft, skills, or lore offered to her will rarely be refused. Despite her competence with sword and shield, she is still very green when it comes to the general knowledge of the Eorzea overall. It seems what she knows of Eorzea was learned in the last few years.

==<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #0f0e1c;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Combat</div>==

Roen prefers sword and shield above all else. Trained as a gladiator, and then as a paladin, she excels in defensive fighting, always preferring to protect others before going on the offensive. While she takes to training with fervor and her technical skills leave very little to be desired, she still lacks in experience to put them to use with full effect. She often hesitates in striking down a weaker foe, especially if they show fear or remorse. If they ask for mercy, she will often grant it, even if it may be just a ploy.

While undergoing her training with the conjurer's guild, it was noted she has great aptitude as a healer as well as a strong connection with the aether, both within and without. But Roen left their guidance after learning the rudimentary skills needed to continue her paladin training. Only recently has she returned to Steelglen Fane to revisit her training as a healer, at the urging of her former teachers.

<div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px;"><b>

<div style="padding:10px 25px; background: #90AB76;">◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard)</div></b>
: <font style="color:#90AB76;" size="3">■</font> "She was hired to protect my caravan a couple o' times. Don' recall her sayin' much, but when the job was done everythin' was all polite and proper. Mos' polite mercenary I've ever come across!"
: <font style="color:#90AB76;" size="3">■</font> "She was hired as protection duty for some fancy ball. I tried to buy her a drink, but she wouldn't have it. A little miss uptight if you ask me."
: <font style="color:#90AB76;" size="3">■</font> "I heard that she was fired from her mercenary company 'cause a Sultansworn's suspectin' her of being involved with the Syndicate or somethin'. I saw her being questioned in the streets even!"
: <font style="color:#90AB76;" size="3">■</font>"Oh yeah! She was chosen by the Immortal Flames for that Little Ladies contest! I don't know what the big fuss was all about, but she sure looked uncomfortable being escorted everywhere by the Yataghans."

<b><div style="padding:10px 25px; background: #F37E1D;">◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear)</div></b>
: <font style="color:#F37E1D;" size="3">■</font> "She healed me once, after I was attacked by some antelope. I assumed she was one of them free paladins, what with all her armor and all. But she said she wasn't, just hoping to be one someday. She seemed nice enough."
: <font style="color:#F37E1D;" size="3">■</font> "I was there when some beggar came up to her and stabbed her multiple times, in broad daylight in the streets of Ul'dah! Looked like he was going for her jugular and missed. She's lucky she lived. Sounds like she's got some enemies."
: <font style="color:#F37E1D;" size="3">■</font> "She has great potential for conjury. If she would only commit more time to it here in Gridania, I believe she can become quite a powerful conjurer."
: <font style="color:#F37E1D;" size="3">■</font> "First Sultansworn, now Brass Blade. Maybe she's found her true callin' this time."

<b><div style="padding:10px 25px; background: #D83018;">◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard)</div></b>
: <font style="color:#D83018;" size="3">■</font> "I remember her first day in the Steelglen Fane. She seemed awful nervous, despite being sent there by her Guildmaster. And then her first spell learned, she looked like she wasn't expecting that at all. Odd, don't you think?"
: <font style="color:#D83018;" size="3">■</font>"Did you hear? The man who stabbed that girl in the street, he hung himself while still under arrest. Then she arranged for his body to be sent home, and I hear she even accompanied it herself. You'd think she'd see it tossed over some cliff."
: <font style="color:#D83018;" size="3">■</font>"I heard she was dismissed, then reinstated, then dismissed, then reinstated again as Sultansworn. Ya think if she was a bad apple, they'd have the good sense not to take her back after the first time."
: <font style="color:#D83018;" size="3">■</font>"I heard she is connected to the Ala Mhigan Resistance. Why is a Sultansworn associating herself with terrorists?"
: <font style="color:#D83018;" size="3">■</font>"Have you seen her head under the turban she wears? Shaved clean! Work of a Brass Blade from what I hear. Treatin' their own like that... she must not get along with 'em. I've seen the a Blade walking around with a ridiculous wig though. I'd say he's proud of his work."

<b><div style="padding:10px 25px; background: #aac5b4;">◢ PC Rumors (Rumors from the character's of other players)</div></b>
: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "After Roen was released, watching her walk by me to go celebrate with others was one of the hardest things I've had to do. She needs someone to blame however, and if that needs be me, then I won't shy from it." -[[Natalie Mcbeef]]
: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "I've lost a sister. Ul'dah never deserved one like Roen. She's free from it all now. Ul'dah can not taint or crush her again. I only wish it hadn't happened this way." - [[Kage Kiryuu]]

: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "She is strong, and she is brave. However, I still fear for her. She lives in a place where the strong and the brave get used by those who have more gil and bigger titles." - [[Kiht Jakkya]]
: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "Roen is a sweet girl. Kind to a fault and I fear far too trusting for her own good. She saved the man I love and I'll always owe her a debt for that. I'm not sure Ul'dah deserves a girl like Roen Deneith looking out for it." - [[Obsidian Hornet]]
: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "If ever Eorzea had a well-meaning fool... But then, she's just a girl. A girl playing at things she ought not to. She seems to still be in possession of the idealism of youth, and Gods know how the Sultanate hasn't beaten it out of her yet. Still, she's a sweet enough lass, if a bit headstrong. Perhaps I'll keep an eye on her. Just in case." - [[Brynhilde Wulf]]
: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "She's a far different person than I imagined her being. Likable, strong, brave. My only regret is the conditions we were suffering under when I discovered these traits." - [[Askier Mergrey]]

: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Askier Mergrey]]''' - A miqo'te and a fellow Garlean, made infamous by his attempt to bomb Ul'Dah, Roen did not trust him one bit when he stood by Delial's side during Roen's dealing with the Highlander woman, and it was only made worse when he kidnapped her afterwards. But during her captivity, he tried to save her from his vicious partner and was tortured to near death for it. Roen no longer holds hatred for him, feeling that he has suffered enough.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Brynhilde Wulf]]''' - A strong and pragmatic Highlander and ex-Resistance fighter, Brynhilde came to Roen's aid when she was trying to save Gharen. Roen looks up to her for her wisdom and sharp-mind and takes her advice to heart, even if the Highlander seems jaded by her long history of warfare against the Garleans. Recently Brynhilde had warned her of her naivete, words that Roen is finding more poignant, given the string of betrayals she has suffered recently.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[C'kayah Tia]]''' - An enigmatic Seeker, Roen does not know much about him, other than two people who are dear to her both care for this miqo'te deeply. She knows his dealings and connections to be vast and perhaps not all of them legal, although she has never fully delved into them nor is she inclined to. Recently he has offered to help her in a personal matter which has earned him her trust and gratitude.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Coatleque Crofte]]''' - A steadfast Sultansworn, Roen has met this paladin under strained circumstances. But Ser Crofte made the effort to lend her some comfort each time, and most recently has made an offer to try and vindicate her from some of the burdens and accusations that loomed over Roen. Roen has trusted the Sultansworn with evidence that could damn her and cost her life, placing her faith in the woman that she spoke true about her intentions and could deliver on her promises.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Delial Grimsong]]''' - Roen met this Highlander woman while researching her mother's ancestry in Little Ala Mhigo. The Highlander woman endeared herself to Roen with her helpful and even flirtatious nature, but to Roen's dismay, she later discovered the woman's true motive: to use her to hunt down the Resistance, and to capture Gharen Wolfsong, for her employer [[Raelisanne Banurein]]. Eventually Roen and Delial had come to agree to a truce, in an effort to deal with Banurein, but due to recent actions of Delial's allies, Roen is left distrusting the woman again, even if Delial did kill her tormentor, Crimson Mountain.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Erik Mynhier]]''' - The Sultansworn who saved her adopted family two years ago, Roen found him when she first came to Ul'dah and he agreed quickly to become her first paladin mentor. Erik recently recovered from an illness that nearly costed him his life, and currently leads a special unit within the Immortal Flames. He is currently missing leaving Roen wondering about his welfare.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Frhanz'ir Kirche]]''' - An Elezen alchemist she sought out in Ul'Dah when she was searching for alternative ways to heal her brother than conjury. He seemed a friendly sort, and offered her much insight regarding Gharen's injuries based on Roen's descriptions. Because of his history with Kage, Roen trusted him enough to bring him to Gharen's side, and using his knowledge of the void energies as well as the summoning arts, he was able to rid the voidling parasites that were within her brother. Roen considers herself indebted to this Elezen.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''[[Gharen Wolfsong]]''' - A Highlander well trained in my fighting skills, Roen accidentally met him at the marketplace and eventually sought him out for lessons in battle. Their relationship grew from teacher and apprentice, to friends, to a familial bond when they discovered they were brothers and sisters. She helped him recover after rescuing him from a mysterious Garlean woman by the name of [[Raelisanne Banurein]] who captured him and tortured him for weeks. Recently the table has turned on the siblings as Roen was kidnapped and tormented by a Roe named Crimson Mountain, and after being rescued, Gharen has since taken her away from Ul'Dah to recover.

: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Isandor Shadowhaven]]''' - A Duskwight noble who joined the Consortium soon after she did, his sharp-tongued demeanor and judgmental disposition made her uneasy at first. But discovering the hardships that his people endured and the circumstances that forced him to seek aid above ground, she has become sympathetic to his cause. She has recently learned however that he has only gotten close to her to spy for another woman [[Raelisanne Banunrein]] and no longer considers him trustworthy.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Itarliht Syhrkoensyn]]''' - A fiercesome Roegadyn known as Crimson Mountain, Roen met him during her encounter with Delial. Despite a rocky start, they came to agree to a truce of spilling no blood between them. However, he broke this promise when he took part in attacking her and taking her captive against her will. In her captivity, she discovered that Crim has a violent temper and a dark and cruel side to him. He was killed after she was rescued.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Jajara Jara]]''' - A generous and cheerful Lalafell, Roen met this skilled Goldsmith through Gharen when she was seeking a gift for Erik. While they have only met a few times, Roen finds her presence bright and comforting.

The two have further bonded after a girls-only fishing trip since on their way to Gharen's camp.

: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Kage Kiryuu]]''' - A brave and loyal lalafell gladiator that Natalie initially assigned to Roen as her first apprentice. Roen and he grew to consider each other like family when they underwent the Trials of Sultansworn together and swore their Oaths. He was recently transformed into a miqo'te for reasons unknown. But due to Natalie's betrayal, Roen has not spoken to or seen him since, nor does she expect to.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Kiht Jakkya]]''' - Roen met this Keeper Hunter at the Grindstone tournament. While both were quiet-mannered, they began to appreciate each other's knowledge of battle, and soon each other's unobtrusive company. Roen sees something akin to herself in Kiht, a stranger in a new land, walking her path alone, trying to do what is right. Kiht has helped her track down a person in her time of need, and most recently has offered her protection as she hid in Limsa from the reaches of Ul'Dah. Roen has come to see her friend in a new light, as a competent leader and warrior.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Natalie Mcbeef]]''' - Roen met this relentless Sultansworn when she accidentally fell under her investigation into the Syndicate. Despite initially finding her cold and intimidating, their relationship grew to trust and deep friendship after Natalie took Roen as an apprentice. Roen even confessed to Natalie her Garlean heritage, a secret that Natalie swore to keep. But in doing all that she could to protect that secret, Natalie betrayed Roen in the worst way, sacrificing her brother and having Roen kidnapped to keep her away. Roen was tortured and humiliated as a captive, and after being rescued, she could not forgive the woman who had caused it all. Natalie called her weak and dismissed her in an effort to cut their ties completely, and they have not spoken since.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Obsidian Hornet]]''' - A strong and fierce Roegadyn, Roen recently brought Hornet to Gharen after his rescue, knowing that they used to be lovers.

She knows the woman has a violent past, but trusts that she has changed many things about herself in her recent journey of atonement. Hornet been an ever present and staunch ally in her time of need, even warning Roen to get out of Ul'Dah for her own sake.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Osric Melkire]]''' - An Immortal Flame Sergeant who contacted Roen about Erik. He claimed Erik may be in danger and he needed to talk to Gharen in order to contact The Resistance. But when Roen brought Osric to see Gharen, Osric delivered grim tidings to the siblings instead, regarding impending danger from the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. Roen has come to trust him somewhat, since he tried to help the Sultansworns and the Resistance in avoiding arrest and persecution during the investigation by Monetarists. She has recently received word that the Sergeant has been forced under the service of another Garlean, and worries for his welfare.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Qaeli Varily]]''' - Roen sought this silver haired hyur woman out when Gharen disappeared, for her name was one of two he had listed as trusted allies. But in their joint effort to rescue Gharen, they have been at odds, Qaeli's wrath being quick, her tongue cold and cutting regarding Roen's idealism and methods. But Qaeli's fierce loyalty to her brother is something Roen cannot deny, so she has continued to keep Qaeli's company, at least until Gharen recovers. Qaeli has recently returned from months of absence without a word, and Roen suspects there is a dark tale to follow that. The hyur also has agreed to train Roen at her brother's behest.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''[[Siha Xinkei]]''' - A Keeper and a seer, Roen met Siha through Erik, who considered the Miqo'te woman his Oath Sister. It was Siha who saw a vision of a woman that was possibly Roen's ancestor. It was also Siha who saw a vision of the masked man that had hired the assassin sent after Roen. With Erik's illness and initially presumed death, both of the women found solace in each other through their shared grief and have become close. She considers Siha her Oath-sister, and while they have been absent in each other's lives for many moons now, their bond has never suffered.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Verad Bellveil]]''' - An eccentric and bombastic Duskwight Elezen, Roen met this merchant of "dubious" goods in Limsa when she was wandering about aimlessly. In each of their encounters he seemed to draw her out of her shell, and his unique personality and beliefs made it easy for her to forget her troublesome thoughts during their talks. She has come to see his seemingly worthless merchandise as valuable as he does, and despite his boastful nature, she has gleaned threads of wisdom from their conversations.

: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Xydane Vale]]''' - An aloof and mysterious Midlander, Roen met him through the Ala Mhigan Resistance when he was helping them locate a missing man. He helped rescue her adoptive father from a Castrum dungeon, and he did not judge her for her Garlean heritage.

She has recently encountered him again in Limsa and suspects him of possibly trying to kill a Brass Blades captain because of something she told him.

<spoiler>
Roen is the sole daughter of a high ranking Garlean scientist officer. Her father, Dorien nan Luraes, was a quick-rising officer in the ranks of the Garlean military, and was one of the men assigned to help overthrow the Ala Mhigan government. In the midst of all the violence brought on by the incursion, Dorien came upon an Ala Mhigan babe... and in rare a moment of mercy, brought the infant home to his barren but loving wife, Melia Luraes. For the first many years of her life, Roen's life was a good one, raised by a doting mother and a proud father whose influence easily squashed any rumors that questioned Roen's true parentage. Dorien, who was also a brilliant engineer, was soon recruited by officers under Nael van Darnus after the destruction of the Bozja Citadel. Dorien became part of the science team to resume the study and research for Project Meteor.

Like his predecessors before him, Dorien too became obsessed with this potential power to control the moons, snatching it from the sky and bringing it down upon the planet. In his obsession, he began to neglect his daughter, and his wife. When Melia discovered the true nature of her husband's research, she became horrified by its violent and destructive nature. In her distress, she was recruited by a resistance faction who sought to undermine Nael van Darnus's ambitions.

Melia began to leak secrets to the resistance in hope of undoing Project Meteor and freeing her husband from its obsessive grasp. But eventually Melia was caught; she was tried and executed, much to Dorien's shock and despair. He threw himself back into his work, and in exchange for his devotion, the Garlean government kept his wife's treachery and execution away from the public eye. Roen never knew the truth; she was told Melia died in an accident. She was seven years old.

After her mother's death, Roen was raised alone in a large wealthy home, with only cold servants and domineering teachers for company. Her father seemed to have lost all affection for her in his grief. She grew to love riding, finding solace in her solitude, imagining adventures as she took to long rides in the woods surrounding their home. She also was quite the tomboy, climbing trees and practicing swordplay with the house guards who humored her. Due to lack of a motherly figure, she never took to dresses or concerned herself with looking beautiful. She was always polite and in perfect demeanor though, for those brief moments when her father would grace their home with his presence.

When Roen turned sixteen, in an attempt to win her absent father's love, she illegally joined with Nael van Darnus' forces in the Battle of Carteneau. She was foolish and idealistic and full of patriotism, all of which were shattered when she actually witnessed the bloodshed and violence on the battlefield. Roen fled from the battle…

...only to witness the horrifying truth of Project Meteor from a far.

Roen survived the Calamity. She was later found miles away, discovered by a traveling vendor while wandering the hills, dazed, delirious, and dehydrated. The vendor was a kind man; his name was Brenden Deneith. Brenden and his family took Roen in and nourished her back to health.

She stayed with the Deneith family in Western Thalanan for the next four years. In the autumn of the fourth year, another tragedy struck when bandits set upon the Deneith family during a sojourn to a nearby market. Roen and Brenden fought them off bravely, but Brenden was gravely hurt. He would eventually succumb to his injury; Roen could only watch helplessly as one of the few selfless men she had ever known begin to fail and die.

When the bandits returned again two days later however, a Sultansworn patrolling nearby saved the rest of the family. And, taking sympathy on them, he also returned the seemingly dead Brenden Deneith back to life---much to Roen's wonder and disbelief.

It was on this day Roen saw her path laid out before her: that of a Sultansworn. She would do for others what this paladin did for her family, but she also felt that she owed a debt to Eorzea, for her father's involvement in the Calamity. She set out to travel to Ul'dah to begin her training.

Upon her arrival in Ul'dah, Roen struggled to make ends meet, to find work so that she can send what gil she makes back to her adopted family, who has now settled upon a farm in Southern Thalanan. But with the children being too young as yet, and Brenden (she catches herself referring to him as "father" on occasion) being weakened since returned from near death, Roen feels responsible for supporting the family who had saved her life. And so she gained employment as a hired blade, taking whatever jobs she can. She looks upon the Sultansworn with something akin to hero worship, looking for any chance to begin her training. One of Roen's greatest fears is that she will never be worthy of it.

Unbeknownst to Roen, her father had been pardoned after the Battle of Carteneau, for he disavowed any knowledge of Project Meteor not being sanctioned by the Emperor. He was seen as a callous murderer by some, yet the Empire still valued his engineering skills. Dorien currently believes his daughter to have died with the Fall of Dalamud, but may discover soon that his only daughter is actually alive. Roen is the only link left to his dead wife, whom he still loves beyond the realm of death... and yet he hates her for her betrayal, and would likely go to extremes to bring his wayward daughter back under his control.</spoiler>

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #0f0e1c;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Recent Events</div>===

<spoiler>
When Roen first arrived in Ul'dah, she found employment with a company called the Gilded Mirage Consortium. She began to slowly warm up to some of them, and before long counted many of them as her friends. The wealthy owner supported her training first as a gladiator, then as a paladin. She was even allowed to travel via airship to Gridania for training at the Steelglen Fane.

Knowing that Garleans are not gifted with the ability to draw upon the aether, Roen was shocked to find that she was able to cast magic at all. This discovery was then followed by a revelation through Siha's vision that one of her ancestors had probably been a Highlander conjurer. This prompted Roen to start researching her mother's ancestry, since her father's proud Garlean ancestry was well-known.

But the investigation into her family's lineage was cut short when a man disguised as a beggar approached Roen and tried to kill her. After extensive questioning, the would-be assassin could only reveal that a masked man had hired him, using a cursed dagger to coerce him magically. The day after he was apprehended, Roen's attacker hung himself while incarcerated, and the trail has gone cold since.

Due to a string of misunderstandings, a Sultansworn named [[Natalie Mcbeef]], also started to suspect Roen of being involved with the Syndicate and interrogated her multiple times. While the misunderstanding was eventually cleared, the damage to her reputation had already been done; when her employer heard of the investigation, she was promptly dismissed from the Consortium.

This was also when Brenden Deneith, Roen's adoptive father, began to succumb to illness again. Due to being dismissed by her former employer and the rumor that she may be connected with the Syndicate, Roen could not find any employment. This was when she took on the job of a miner, despite the fact that it did not pay very well. In order to make the necessary gil to send back to her father, Roen began to neglect her training in lieu of breaking rocks all day.

Her prolonged absence unfortunately led to her dismissal from Ser Jenlyns, her free paladin trainer. But the Sultansworn who had previously investigated her took it upon herself to take Roen in as her apprentice in order that she may continue Roen's paladin training. It was through Natalie's guidance and trust in her that Roen finally passed her trials and was sworn in as one of Ul'Dah's elite protectors. Natalie and another Sultansworn named [[Kage Kiryuu]], have since come to learn of her Garlean heritage, and to her surprise, still accepted her as one of their own. Roen considers this small group of Sultansworns her family through duty and oath.

Roen has also found employment with a Free Company called Night Blades. She believes them to serve the people of Eorzea, although perhaps through unconventional means. She believes the leader, Ellion Goto, to have the right intentions at heart, even if his methods have proven to be ruthless at times.

Through recent events, Roen also discovered that a Highlander by the name of [[Gharen Wolfsong]] is her brother by blood, and that she was taken from her family when she was a baby and given to her Garlean parents who raised her. This knowledge came at the price of much suffering and pain, mostly dealt by a mysterious Garlean woman named [[Raelisanne Banurein]], who captured and tortured Gharen Wolfsong for weeks. Roen was forced to resort to kidnapping an innocent man to trade for her brother's life, also making an enemy of another Highlander named [[Delial Grimsong]], who works for Banurein. It was Delial who also had initially befriended Roen through deception, and used her to capture Gharen in the first place and kill another Resistance leader.

After rescuing Gharen from the Garleans and helping him recover, Roen discovered that she had been suspended from her duties as Sultansworn due to an investigation that was initiated by the Monetarists into a fire at the Nanawa Mines. It led two Immortal Flames to unearth evidence regarding a ceruleum core theft and what appeared to be a cover-up by her superior, Natalie. The three Sultansworns involved in the incident have all been given leave of duty, and to appease the Monetarists, their services were given over to the Brass Blades. Roen has been assigned to a unit under the command of Captain [[Anden Anduron]].

Due to Natalie being tasked to bring in Gharen to appease the Monetarists, Natalie arranged for Roen to be "kidnapped" by [[Askier Mergrey]] in order to keep her in the dark about the fate of her brother while she brought him in. Askier then asked his friend Crimson Mountain to help him, and the latter took to the task with obsessive fervor. He has turned out to be a cruel and violent captor, and Askier, growing more and more uncomfortable with Crim's torment of Roen, finally attempted an escape with the hostage in tow. It ended with Askier losing an arm, and Crimson Mountain taking both Roen and Askier on a ship and sailing for destination unknown.

In the meanwhile, Natalie convinced Gharen to surrender himself to the Monestarists for Roen's own safety and freedom. She explained that she was following the Monestarists orders because they had evidence that Roen was a Garlean. To gain amnesty for Roen, she agreed to bring Gharen in, knowing full well that he would likely be killed. He agreed to this term to save his sister, and both believed that Roen will be delivered by Askier back to Ul'Dah safe and sound.

But when Natalie realized that the kidnapping had gone horribly wrong, she and Kage recruited the help of [[Osric Melkire]] to break Gharen out, and they all eventually faced down Crimson Mountain for the two captives he had tortured for a week on the seas. Delial agreed to sail away with Crimson Mountain in exchange for Roen and Askier's return, to which Crim complied. Once alone on the boat with the Roe, Delial delivered death onto him with a blade to his neck.

Natalie, seeing Roen's condition after her rescue, forced herself to cut all ties with the hyur, dismissing her from the Blades and calling her weak. She also hid away any regret as she spoke to Roen, nearly gloating about her own ruthlessness. That final betrayal shattered what remained of Roen's strength and resolve to hold herself together, and the hyur broke down. Gharen took it upon himself to take his sister way from Ul'Dah, much to Natalie's silent relief.

== Character ==

=== General ===

'''C'kayah Tia''' (''Ka-kai-yah Tea-ah'') is an active, vigorous Seeker of the Sun living in the city-state of Ul'dah. Somewhat "urbanized" compared to many of the Coeurl tribe, he typifies the sort of energetic Tia who leaves to [[Coeurl Tribe|Hunt the World]] and decides that it's pretty nice out there. Very distinctly not a hero, he walks that grey area between mere decadence and villainy.

'''Note: C'kayah does not have the Echo, nor is a part of the Scions. He has no information on anything relating to the events portrayed in the game.'''

=== Appearance ===

<blockquote>
"I am tall for a Miqo'te, and I have always been blessed with swift feet and an athletic build. My coarse brown hair is unruly, like my father's. I used to keep it braided, but I spend the time now to keep it styled. My eyebrows, which are fine, I get from my mother, as I do my eyes. I have fangs, a legacy from my maternal grandmother, a Keeper of the Moon. While I do not dress like a tribal Couerl - I am too fond of stylish urban Miqo'te fashion - my mannerisms sometimes give away my affiliations."
</blockquote>

[[File:C-finalOriginalsmallest.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Despite his tribal background, C'kayah has adapted to civilized society like a fish to water. He is curious, energetic, and adventurous, with the sort of overweening fondness for the trappings of civilization that sometimes develops in civilized barbarians. While he likes to portray himself as a the same carefree Miqo that he's always been, living through the Calamity has affected him, making him more aware that ignoring a threat does not make that threat go away. He doesn't tell anyone, but the last five years have seen him apply himself to study (of healing, of history, and of politics) with a diligence that is quite unlike him.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Originally trained in his tribe as a hunter, he has continued to hone his skills, becoming an accomplished tracker and archer. While he picked up the sword during the Calamity, he considered himself only knowledgable enough to get himself into trouble. Since his disastrous encounter with Thunder, he's applied himself to the study of swordsmanship with an uncharacteristic drive. His overall philosophy of combat is that it is best to engage an enemy in a way that he knows they have been defeated before they are even aware that they are in combat.

<blockquote>
"If I am in a fair fight, then I have done something terribly, terribly wrong."
</blockquote>

== Tendencies ==

<blockquote>
"Likes/Dislikes: I like to roam, and I like to return. I like good food, fine wine, witty conversation with intelligent people, beautiful women (oh? Did you think that a Tia, by not breeding, has no knowledge of women?), and comfortable living. I like subtle and thought-provoking poetry and philosophy. Dislikes? I am not fond of Elezen, or at least those Elezen who maintain that the rest of us are merely invaders in their world. I dislike limitations. I dislike foolish behavior, maudlin sentimentality and boredom. Most of all, though, I like power and I dislike an empty purse."

=== Family ===

<blockquote>
"My parents are C'xin Nunh and C'issapa Oya. My father is very conservative, holding to the "eternal ways of of Coeurl Tribe". My mother... is something of a free spirit. They said that she has Keeper blood in her, which I suppose means that I have it as well. My own wandering feet I have certainly inherited from her. Other relatives? You know how it is in a Seeker tribe, especially one such as the Coeurls. I have many relatives, many siblings by my father, yet none (that I know of) by my mother. Some I got along with very well, and we exchange letters to this day, though I have not seen any of my siblings since I left to Hunt the World, twelve years ago."
</blockquote>

::<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''C'xin Nunh:''' C'kayah's father. C'xin is extremely conservative, and expects C'kayah to uphold the traditions of the tribe. Often distant with his children, C'xin nevertheless takes an active interest in their lives.

C'issapa is an extremely free-spirited and free-thinking woman whose sharp canines and large eyes betray a mixed ancestry. C'issapa reveres Menphina, and it is from her that C'kayah developed his own devotion to the diety. C'kayah and C'issapa have always been extremely close.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''The rest:''' As is common with Seeker tribes, C'kayah has many brothers and sisters.

<blockquote>
"I suppose my natural disposition is to make fresh acquaintances, and to break with them so readily, although always for a good reason, and never through mere fickleness."
</blockquote>

::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]:''' This five year old Lalafell child is [[Lilithium Altair]]'s adopted son. One evening while helping Lili get him ready for bed, the child fell asleep in C'kayah's arms, startling him with the intensity of his affection for the Lalafell. His feelings for the boy contributed greatly to his decision to ask Lili to be his mate.

Her rough past left her with little ability to trust others, but C'kayah's willingness to commit to aiding the woman led to a fragile trust between her and him. While the two are attracted to one another, though her views of Seeker relationships prevent them from acting on this. For his part, C'kayah is committed to ensuring that she has a place within Tylwyth Narah, and that her child have a chance at a good future.

The two immediately bonded over drink and flirty conversation. They saw little of one another for some months after that, until she relocated to Ul'dah and began to work in the Quicksand as a barmaid, when they renewed their friendship. They share similar outlooks, both having rejected the future their childhood was preparing them for in favor of living their lives as they want to. While it is clear that both are attracted to each other, he values her primarily as a friend and will do anything to help her, should she be in need.

While C'kayah originally orchestrated a manhunt for the bandit, her elusiveness has led him to abandon the search. He has taken to wearing a sword in case the bandit strikes again.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Erik Mynhier]]:''' C'kayah met Erik through Siha, who the big Hyur adopted as a sister. Erik is everything C'kayah is not: tall, noble and virtuous. Despite all of that, C'kayah found himself enjoying the big Hyur's company, possibly due to Erik's loyalty towards Siha. As time passed, however, he began to be aware that all was not well with the Hyur. A strong sense of duty compounded by a devotion to dying a heroic death made him wary, distancing himself from the man. His fears proved well-founded when Erik was killed in what, to C'kayah, were completely avoidable circumstances. After heroic measures by Siha, he was returned to life. Since his death and return, however, he has heard rumors of troubling behavior.

Some who have encountered her theorize that she works for him in a private investigator and mercenary capacity.
::<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kage Kiryuu]]:''' C'kayah met this Lalafell while trying to reverse the effects of Natalie's tempering. The pair bonded over their shared interest in helping her, and have since become fast friends. Kage's ascension to the ranks of the Sultansworn pleased him, though lately he's begun to wonder if the realities of the position are good for the Lalafell's innocent spirit. Kage made up the fourth member of the Cat tribe before it's dissolution. Kage and Natalie's creation of a new tribe with Kage as Nunh mere days after the dissolution of the Cat tribe has soured C'kayah's feelings for the Lalafell, moreso after Kage's mysterious transformation into a Miqo'te. However, a recent meeting between the two has somehow convinced C'kayah to act as a mentor to Kage, helping the man come to terms with his new identity.

C'kayah helped her to save Askier Mergrey during his ill-fated attempt to attack Ul'dah under pressure from the Garleans. As a reward, she brought him news that Osric had been tasked with C'kayah's death. Rationally he doesn't blame her for the dissolution of his tribe, but feelings often do not have a basis in rationality.

Their relationship is complex, with Kenthy's acidic nature hiding sincere feelings for her. For his part, C'kayah highly values her judgement, and has made her his lieutenant within Tylwyth Narah. While those close to them have seen hints of the deeper feelings that run between them, neither share the details of their relationship with strangers.

::<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Liana Blu]]:''' C'kayah met Liana as she was burying the remnants of a Roegadyn that had attacked Suri. Moved by his concern for Suri, she was convinced to let him help them to escape Ul'dahn justice. Thal to Suri's Nald, C'kayah has nothing but admiration for her. He once harbored hopes of something more, but she rebuked him. After Suri's departure, they briefly pursued an odd relationship - not friends, not lovers, but something else. As the months have gone on, he's seen Liana less and less. After her near-mortal injury and rebirth, he renewed his friendship with the Keeper.

When they met, both were nursing freshly broken hearts, and they tried to balance their mutual attraction with some degree of caution, circling one another like a pair of gladiators in the moment before the attack. They soon both admitted that their attraction was real, and began to spend a great deal of time together, developing a complex and unconventional open relationship. C'kayah lives for the woman, while the time he spends with her adopted son has opened his eyes to previously undeveloped areas in his life. He recently asked her to become his mate, and her acceptance bound his fate together with hers and her son's. Soon after she asked him to marry her, joining a Hyur ceremony to Miqo'te. To both of them it will be a perfect symbol of their union, a perfect symbol of their new family.

Over the course of it, the pair were surprised at the feelings they developed for each other. Despite the misgivings of their friends and associates, the pair decided to pursue a relationship that blossomed into an extremely strong partnership. Over the months they grew closer, eventually attempting to create an urban Miqo'te tribe in Ul'dah. This ended with a vicious fight seemingly caused by the strain of trying to deal with two different groups that wanted C'kayah dead. The news that she formed a new tribe, with Kage Kiryuu as Nunh mere days afterwards has transformed his love for her into a burning hate that has only gradually subsided.

Recently renewing his relationship with the clan, he discovered their old Matriarch dead and Miah in her place. He's aware of Miah's driving ambition to turns the clan into something more: a Power in the underworld. While he is interested in helping them take this place, he has repeatedly run afoul of the mercurial Keeper and doubts her ability to achieve her ambitions.

While the two are sometimes antagonistic, it is clear that C'kayah holds a grudging respect for the man, considering him a beacon of honorable behavior in an otherwise unrecoverably corrupt organization. At the same time, Osric's staged hunt of C'kayah was a catalyst for the dissolution of his tribe, and he still holds an active dislike for the man for that.

For a time, their feelings for one another were all-consuming and clear to anyone who saw them together. The violence of their attraction threw them together and spun them apart until at last C'kayah began to avoid her, though he continued to watch after her from afar. After his first encounters with Lolorito's assassins, he contacted her for aid and found that she'd changed radically from the ambitious girl he'd known into a smart, capable woman. He was surprised at this change, but more surprised that their feelings for one another remained just as strong, though tempered by his belief that neither could be what the other desired. Despite this, his feelings for her continued to grow, until one disastrous night soon after the dissolution of the Cat tribe. Her simultaneous revelation that she had become the mate of another and her insistence on his presence in her life - in his mind as a sort of Tia - left him shattered and for a time he refused to see her. They have since attempted to reconcile, but fate seems to desire to keep the pair apart. After an emergency pulled him away from her, she broke off contact with him. He's since realized that their relationship is healthy for neither of them, and has resigned himself to not seeing her. Distance has allowed his feelings to settle, and he has returned to his old practice of keeping an eye on her from the shadows, ready to use his resources to ensure her safety.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Siha Xinkei]]:''' A scrappy little Keeper girl who was rejected by her family, Siha has managed to touch a genuine spot of compassion in his decadent heart. News of Erik's illness shocked her, causing her to dedicate herself to finding some way to save her brother. After his death and rebirth, she pulled away, spending more and more time in the pursuit of dark studies with cruel associates for a time before recently coming back into his life. He discovered that the innocent girl he knew is now a capable and intelligent woman. Her confession of her feelings for him left him thoughtful for the future for a time, though she vanished again soon after that, leaving him wondering where she is and what she's doing.

A characteristically ham-handed declaration of those feelings drove her away, much to his despair. His attempts to patch things up in the aftermath failed miserably, as neither Miqo'te were able to overcome their awkward inability to really communicate. As the months have passed, his feelings for her have not declined. Recently, following an attack by the bandit Thunder, C'kayah learned that Suri risked her life in an attempt to exact vengeance, suffering capture and torture at the hands of the bandit, though he also learned that Suri had worked briefly with her, promising to deliver C'kayah to Thunder in exchange for the death of Natalie - a deal Suri broke within minutes. The pair have since admitted their feelings for one another, though in the typically dysfunctional manner they exhibit with one another. Suri's decision to become [[Artorias Mason|Artorias Mason's]] mate spurred a resolve in him to stand by her and support her relationship with the Hyur. His love for her remains, but he tries to keep it buried inside.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Tana Firesong]]:''' C'kayah encountered this odd Miqo'te lancer when she attacked him for his supposed crimes against the general public. Escaping with the help of Natalie, the pair eventually worked past their differences and became friends. While guarding him, she earned the ire of the Morbolvines after a duel went bad, resulting in her departure to the mountains. Despite this, he continues to defend her and hopes that she is well.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1548-1565 Childhood/adolescence ===

C'kayah was born into a sept of the Coeurl Tribe in the deserts around Ul'dah, C'kayah (like many Seekers) both loved the security of his enormous extended family and chafed at the restrictions imposed by them. Coeurl tribe children typically join a ''ton'' at adolescence, leaning to fill an adult's role with the tribe. With his love of wandering, he chose the Hunter's ton, learning the skills of tracking and shooting and enjoying the freedom that tramping through the wilderness provided. On his seventeenth name-day, he left his sept to [[Coeurl Tribe|Hunt the World]], a Coeurl "travelling ritual".

=== 1565-1572 The carefree life ===

Initially upon leaving his tribe, Ul'dah drew him in, as it draws in so many. When he first arrived he had no money, so life was hard for him. His skills were ill-suited toward gaining a living within the city, so he found himself earning his way through mercenary work, caravan-guarding and the like. Along the way he developed his rudimentary Couerl medical talents, becoming a decent frontier medic. Ul'dah is a decadent place, and he took to this decadence wholeheartedly, especially after attracting the notice of A'rela Nereh, a wealthy silver merchant. Twice his age and a notorious consumer of attractive young Miqo'te, he briefly became her lover while she, in turn, taught him to appreciate the comforts of civilization as well as the importance of connections, though he did not appreciate ''that'' lesson until years later. Back on his own when her attentions wandered, he began to supplement his income by smuggling and theft and soon grew wealthy enough to enjoy life in Ul'dah. All good things must come to an end, however, and he was chased out of that city in his eighteenth year.

Over the next few years, he made his way across the world, spending most of his time around Limsa Lominsa and Gridania. Like Ul'dah, these places combined plentiful opportunities for acquiring money with a wealth of pleasures on which to spend it. By this time he had developed a grab bag of competencies, allowing him to get by while avoiding the tedium of a full-time occupation: smuggling, petty theft (though never more than his victims could afford), fixing (in the sense of ''arranging'' matters), and even the occasional legitimate job. In Gridania he met his first real love, a young thief who called herself S'aitei Koei - an obvious pseudonym. Another Ul'dan refuge, S'aitei was an escaped slave with the lash scars on her back to prove the cruelty of that institution to him. Settling in the Shroud, they made the forest their home, living from the proceeds of C'kayah's smuggling. Their intense and unconventional affair lasted nearly three years, consuming them until they could no longer sustain it, like coal burned to ash. They remained close friends afterwards, and much of his apparent arrested adolescence and inveterate womanizing could be considered his heart yearning to return to those three devastating years.

=== 1572/0-Present Calamity ===

C'kayah did not take the Garlean threat seriously at first, considering such politics to be inconsequential to him. As the clouds of war gathered, however, he began to see how he may be affected. Like many around Gridania, he learned to handle a sword in anticipation of a Garlean invasion of the city proper, though he moved to the city when the Gridanians set out for Cartaneau.

Like all who survived the Calamity, the devastation wrought by Bahamut and the red moon shocked him, giving him the full measure of the Garlean threat. He awaited the end with the other Gridanians, and when it did not come, he lent his aid as a medic to the streams of refugees and survivors. The event opened his eyes to the larger concerns of the world.

S'aitei disappeared during this time, and he presumes she died in the calamity. He nurtures a slow-burning hatred of the Garleans as a result of her loss.

In the aftermath of the Calamity, he gradually returned to his old ways. Smuggling and ''fixing'', in his mind, were good ways to both help those who lacked what they needed while also giving him the money he desired. He has recently managed to placate the Ul'dahn Syndicate and was allowed to return to that city, where he began to give up his wandering life. Gathering a number of talented criminals, he began to contract out their services as the Nald'Thal's Hand Social Club. Once the Club reached a significant size and level of power, he left it in the hands of his old lieutenant, a Seeker woman named [[Emelie Annel]], to pursue other opportunities. The Club operated for a time out of [http://laughinglady.enjin.com/| The Laughing Lady], a tavern known for its underworld ties, before shutting down recently.

His time at the head of the NHSC opened his eyes to the larger political landscape of the Ul'dahn underworld, and he went from observing it to trying to manipulate it. In the time since his departure from the NHSC, he has concentrated on building ties with ever more criminal organizations. Students of the Ul'dahn underworld sometimes speculate that he's engaged in a long-term manipulation of the underworld, with the ultimate goal of placing him on the Syndicate.

With his mate [[Natalie Mcbeef]], he created the [[Cat Tribe]], an urban Miqo'te tribe roughly based off of [[Coeurl Tribe]] customs. [[Kage Kiryuu]] and [[Shifu Karambit]] were more recent additions. However, recent allegations that he was behind an attack on the family home of [[Lolorito]], the head of the East Aldenard Trading Company and member of the Syndicate, have led him to leave his tribe and mates, fleeing Ul'dah. The added strain of a second party seeking his life sparked a vicious fight that resulted in his abandonment by both Natalie and Kage, leaving him alone to face his foes.

Following his tribe's betrayal, he began to focus on restoring his network of underworld contacts and engineering a return to power, all while under pressure from Lolorito's assassins and bounty hunters. He immediately faced an additional complication when the rogue Flame [[Osric Melkire]] fingered him for an assassination attempt. He managed to turn this to his advantage, staging his own death to remove the threat from Lolorito and let him figure a permanent solution to the problem. This came in the form of a shadowy deal with a little-known Shroud-based underworld figure, who somehow managed to convince the Syndicate figure that C'kayah wasn't behind the attack. At the same time, his relationship with [[Roswyn Valhuri]] changed for the worse, leaving him shattered and easy prey for a clan of Keepers, the [[http://morbolvines.enjin.com/ Morbolvine Clan]], who were associated with the bandit Thunder. Their unfamiliarity with keeping prisoners led to his easy scape

It was about this time that he encountered [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]], an acidic and abrasive Sunseeker. The two developed an unlikely friendship, leading to their work in the Sea Wolf crime syndicate [[http://tylwyth-narah.enjin.com/ Tylwyth Narah]]. Soon after this he sold alchemical reagents to [[Lilithium Altair]], a charismatic Hyur. He was immediately attracted to her, and pursued her aggressively. Nursing a freshly broken heart herself, she held him at arms length, though their mutual attraction prevented her from turning him away completely. Over time the pair grew close, finally admitting their love together. While their relationship is complex and unconventional, it works for them, and the pair recently agreed to marry and become mates. At the same time, his relationship with Kenthy grew more and more solid, and the pair are now quite devoted to each other and to the success of Tylwyth Narah.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FFC0CB;font-size:18px;color:#000000;"><b>Character</b></div> ==
[[File:Aya_003.png|300px|right]]
=== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px; background:#FFE4E1;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">General</div> ===
This tall, blonde Hyur woman moves gracefully, displaying bright, energetic blue eyes, and warm, happy smile - everyone's favorite bountifully chested barmaid!

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

Long blonde locks fall freely over the shoulders of this Hyur woman, bearing a somewhat unkempt waviness that threatens at times to become a curl. Bright blue eyes are the highlight of a warm smile framed by typically rose-red lips. She is short and slender for a Highland Hyur, but by the standards of Midlanders would be considered tall, with a curvaceous figure. Finding herself somewhere between fit and athletic, her body is finely honed for dancing, and is only secondarily adapted to the rigors of combat - especially as she is no longer a sellsword by trade.

Aya is usually seen wearing at least light makeup, and is rarely found without lip gloss and eye makeup. She loves jewelry and sports seven piercings on each ear (four upper, and three lower), usually wearing larger earrings on the lower-most piercing, and then matching studs in the remaining (frequently changed to match her outfit, and sometimes her mood). She usually wears necklaces, bracelets, and several rings, as well as navel jewelry that she prefers to have visible whenever possible.

She prefers outfits chosen for form instead of function, frequently wearing heeled shoes and boots, skirts instead of leggings, and armor that give priority to flattering her figure rather than protecting her. When she was a mercenary her commanders were at times able to get her to wear practical armor when preparing for situations where combat was expected, but it was a struggle to convince her to wear proper uniform at other times.

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

Aya typically wears her personality on her sleeve. She is outgoing, social, with a clear orientation toward fun and pleasure. She has a significant caring and soft-hearted streak, that sometimes conflicts with her better sense, and often speaks before she thinks(sometimes leading to unexpected shyness). She generally prefers to avoid hard work, has expensive tastes for comfort and baubles, and will almost always take the easiest route to Gil when offered. Nonetheless, she has become significantly more responsible since fleeing Ishgard and encountering the difficulties of the real world shorn from the protective layer of her family, and can usually be counted on if it really matters.

Preferring shopping, relaxing, and most especially partying to hard work, these tendencies will almost always become obvious to even the most ambivalent observer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FFC0CB;font-size:18px;color:#000000;"><b>Combat</b></div> ==
<spoiler>
Although she is no longer a sell sword, Aya's training and experience with the Hungry Wolf remains a crucial aspect of who she is. Regardless of her desire to avoid any violent situation, she remains rather better prepared for it than she would admit.

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

She is familiar with archery, which was one of her childhood hobbies, one which she has rediscovered in the Shroud which prizes skill with the bow and arrow, and offers much to teach the interested amateur.

She has been trained in standard Hungry Wolf military tactics which included basic forestry, and long-range small-group coordination. Stealth, ambush, and surprise-attack training has formed a major portion of her education in tactics. Her recent promotion has made her technically responsible for small squad command within the Company, she has never commanded units in the field and is likely unprepared.</spoiler>

''Gharen at first glance is a warrior who has seen more than his fair share of battles, he is a quiet and serious individual that smiles only very rarely, with a tall and powerful frame earned through years of hard labor and living off the land. He is prone to quiet isolation and as such is not very good at socializing with others, especially women. He is ever the consummate lone wolf, never quite fitting in and alone even when in the middle of a crowd. Those who get to know and understand him will find that he is in many ways a man who has been broken by the circumstances of his life prior to the cataclysm and is now a mess of contradicting actions and beliefs.''

==<div style="padding:5px; border: 2px solid #395c80; background: #0f0e1c; border-radius:15px;"><span style="font-size: 28px; color: #c8c8c8; font-family: Old English Text MT; text-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #4494b9, 8px 8px 8px #81c8d1;">Character</span></div>==

'''Aliases/Nicknames:''' During his time he's met many individuals a few even have even given him nicknames. None of which bother him as he has been called many things over the years, many significantly worse than the names he's received now.

''"Wolf"'': A name used to refer to him by [[Qaeli Varily]].

''"Lobo"'': A name used to refer to him by [[Sila Neve]].

==<div style="padding:5px; border: 2px solid #395c80; background: #0f0e1c; border-radius:15px;"><span style="font-size: 28px; color: #c8c8c8; font-family: Old English Text MT; text-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #4494b9, 8px 8px 8px #81c8d1;">Appearance</span></div>==

'''Face:''' His face is scarred, Most would assume that the scars are from combat, while true for one or two, they are due primarily to years of physical abuse at the hands of his guardian. His face is rough and rugged due to constant exposure to the elements. He bears the traditional dark blue facial tattoos of the Wolfsong clan given to him by his father at the age of five. He inherited his Dark Ginger hair from his Mother, which he keeps in what is known to his clan as the "Warrior's Wolf Knot". His face is regularly unshaven as he doesn't worry much about his looks living in the wilds.

'''Eyes:''' His eyes are a piercing hazel color; those with a high natural empathy will see a deep seated self hatred/sadness/Loneliness reflected in his eyes. Conversely, when angry or enraged which does not occur often they take on the feral look of his namesake animal and reflect a dark side lying within the young man that is kept under lock and key.

'''Body:''' Years of hard labor, living in the wilds, and training with any fighting style he can has earned him a well chiseled body of muscle and strength. Something that he makes sure to cover as much as possible, due to the fact that the majority of his back, chest, arms, legs, and abdomen are covered in deep scars and burns. Remnants of his abuse at the hands of his guardian Ortolf Frostheart, these are a source of intense shame and are one of the things that regularly fuel his bouts of depression. They are also something that few people, if any, have ever seen and one of the primary reasons he avoids living in towns or cities.

[[File:Gharen&Abigail640.png|500px|]]
|}
'''Voice:''' Gharen speaks with an accent of the highlander clans that inhabited the mountains north of Ala Mhigo,(I.e. Scottish) His voice is generally friendly and non threatening, unless something has been done to earn his ire, in extreme cases it can become vicious and dark.

'''Demeanor:''' Gharen is quiet and somber, and generally doesn't deal well with others whether it just be simple etiquette or conversation, it is extremely rare for him to smile, even more so is the individual that can regularly coax one out of him. His stance and motion belie someone versed in multiple forms of combat.

'''Personality:''' (Social setting) Gharen is prone to self isolation, and when in a group of socializing individuals tends to sit off the side and just listen hoping to be ignored simply trying to blend in the background and disappear.

(Combat) In combat Gharen finds some measure of respite, while still quiet, he becomes focused and his mind does not wander down the dark paths that plague him and lead to him brooding.

'''Flaws:''' Above all else he believes that his life is of little to no worth and that no one will mourn or notice it's passing, he also sees himself as horribly disfigured by the scars that adorn much his body, and as a result, will be alone for the remainder of his days. These two conditions lead him to be more willing than most to put others before himself to his own detriment, or in an extreme case, to throw his own life away, as death in the defense of others in his mind, might in some small way add value to a life that has none.

'''Intelligence:''' Gharen is not stupid by any means, unfortunately after the age of five he did not receive a formal education, most of what he knows was self taught. Reading, writing, basic fighting forms. Etc.

'''Religious Views:''' Before the occupation of Ala Mhigo he belonged to a devout family that fervently believed in the twelve, and paid their respects Halone, the Fury and Azeyma, the Warden. Some time after, during his time in Little Ala Mhigo while in the hands of his abusive guardian he had lost his faith in the divine. Believing that any higher being that would not listen to the prayers of an abused child, or intervene in some way was not worth worshiping. After eight cycles of traveling Eorzea, he returned to Ul'Dah, Several events that have occurred over the past cycle have slowly rekindled his faith as he has openly admitted that perhaps Halone put him on his path, and Azeyma may have led him back to the place he was needed most.

'''Romance:''' Years of physical and mental abuse coupled with isolation have left Gharen with a deeply held belief that he is horribly disfigured and unworthy of any woman's interest, any romantic feelings he may have for someone will be locked away and not be openly expressed due to this. Things like physical touch have become psychologically associated with pain, doing so will cause him to jump slightly and become visibly uncomfortable, more intimate contact will only exacerbate this. When talking to a woman he will be Polite, professional and courteous but become uncomfortable should topics shift to him and his past, when hard pressed with intimate questions he will become extremely ashamed and embarrassed of himself.

== <div style="padding:5px; border: 2px solid #395c80; background: #0f0e1c; border-radius:15px;"><span style="font-size: 28px; color: #c8c8c8; font-family: Old English Text MT; text-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #4494b9, 8px 8px 8px #81c8d1;">Combat</span></div> ==

Gharen aims to become a weapon master, an individual who can pick up any weapon and use it to great effect. When asked why Gharen will become evasive and give a generalized answer ''"Te prove a point te someone."'' While not a lie he intends to prove it to two people. First, To himself that it can be done, and second, to a dead man, Ortolf Frostheart, the Guardian that abused him for 13 years, or more to the point, the memory of a dead man.
[[Image:Dragonfire.png ‎|550px|left|]]
'''Style:''' Gharen's preferred weapon is the Lance, which he can use both offensively and defensively to great effect. Keeping his enemies at bay, allowing him to control the flow of battle, and keeping his opponents guessing. He will from time to time employ techniques he has learned from studying other various forms of combat as a weapon master. He is also extremely proficient with a sword and shield having trained as a free paladin.

'''Strengths:''' Believing that the each known martial style of combat form a wheel, and every style is but a single spoke in that wheel, obtaining even a fundamental understanding of these various methods of combat offer insight and adaptability to whatever weapon focus is used and or faced. The weapon master is able given a wider range of options in order to think outside of the box in the heat of battle and enhancing overall survivability potential for victory by using unconventional tactics in order to keep opponents guessing, and off balance.

'''Weaknesses:''' The path of becoming a weapon master runs the danger being a Jack of all trades and master of none, leaving oneself open to defeat at the hands of a more specialized opponent. Garnering the fundamentals, then specific specialization, builds a stronger foundation that can be built upon as time goes by.

'''Pain Tolerance:''' Due to the years of physical abuse at the hands of his guardian Gharen has learned how to control pain he may feel. This is not to say he does not feel pain, he simply knows how to not acknowledge it, and fight through it.

[[File:Wolf header.jpg]]

''"Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured."'' -Mark Twain

'''"The Wolf"''' is the psychological representation of Gharen's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id,_ego_and_super-ego Id], it is also the darkness within him that characters with a high empathy will feel. This aspect of his psyche lies closer to the surface than it does for most due to years of physical and psychological trauma. It represents all of the locked away anger, hatred, and pain he has experienced in his life, it also represents his will to survive, It does not make its presence known often, but when it does it is savage and feral, it's only goal is to destroy potential threats that cause it harm, it originally appeared eight cycles ago to viciously kill Ortolf Frostheart.

This aspect of Gharen's personality when under control will influence his actions often in ways he does not even notice, a growl when angry or annoyed. When he is pushed to the brink physically and or mentally further influence is exerted, a dark uncharacteristic smile while issuing a threat of bodily harm or a willingness to bite when bound. When the Wolf takes control it perceives individuals on the basis of whether or not they pose a threat.

When Threats are perceived there is an attempt to dispatch them as quickly as possible going straight for the throat in an attempt to crush or tear it out. The Wolf has been known to use bladed and blunt objects to hamstring and bludgeon opponents but it does not have access to the martial prowess that Gharen's conscious self has attained, but it can remember and shares a dislike or hatred of individuals that have caused them harm.

Recent events have left Gharen with a severely diminished capability to keep the wolf in check due to severe physical and mental torture.

'''Gregor Wolfsong:''' A blacksmith by trade, Gregor originated from one of the outlying villages in the mountainous northern regions of Ala Mhigan territory there was a warrior and hunter, On one of his trips into Ala Mhigo he met Aline, courted her, and eventually the two married. It was after this he took up blacksmithing in order to provide for his beginning family. He never lost his pride in his heritage though, and would tell the stories of the Wolfsong clan that he grew up with to his son. Gregor was killed when the Garlean empire took control Ala Mhigo 20 years ago. Gharen currently believes she was killed by his own hand due to memory manipulation.

'''Aline Wolfsong:''' Aline grew up to a middle class family within the walls of Ala Mhigo, at the time she met Gregor she was weaver in her fathers shop in merchants alley. Aline was killed when the Garlean empire took control Ala Mhigo 20 years ago. Gharen currently believes she was killed by his own hand due to memory manipulation.

'''[[Roen Deneith|Kayle Wolfsong]]:''' Gharen's sister, slightly older than one year of age when the Garlean empire came to power in Ala Mhigo, Until recently she was presumed dead.

'''Silent Glacier:''' The local smith in a small village that lied on the border between Mor Dhona and Thanalan. A stubborn old Roe who refused to speak common, It was from him that Gharen learned smithing, mining, and to understand and speak some of the Hellsguard tongue, Glacier was the closest thing to a father figure Gharen had since his family was killed. It is unknown if Silent Glacier and his family still live as the village was razed during the calamity.

<div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px;">

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[A'khenna Khai]]''' - A young Miqo'te that has taken apprenticeship in the grindstone. He respects her abilities in combat and feels the need to teach her what he can so that she is prepared for the harsh realities of the world. It has been several moons since Gharen has seen the young Seeker.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[A’nzil Oenomaus]]''' - A young Miqo'te that has taken apprenticeship under Gharen. In many ways A'nzil reminds Gharen of himself when he was a child, a scared kid that doesn't see a way out. Gharen aims to help A'nzil find the "Heart of a Coeurl" that beats within his chest and turn a scared kid into a young man that fights for what he believes in despite the fear inside of him.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Brynhilde Wulf]]''' - Gharen finds "Miss Brynhilde" to be one of the more enigmatic individuals he has met while on his travels. The two have spoken often in the past and during their conversations she very offers up little about herself willingly. In truth, Gharen does not attempt to pry, as he understands more than most keeping things about ones self private. Regardless, he finds the woman to be trustworthy and enjoys her company greatly. Gharen currently believes she was killed by his own hand due to memory manipulation.

<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Coatleque Crofte]]''' - Gharen is still forming his opinion on the woman, his interactions to date have left him with a good first impression, that she is forthright and true to her word. The only reservation in his opinion is that his previous interaction with Sultansworn have been less than pleasant.

<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Delial Grimsong]]''' - Charming, brilliant, manipulative, and insistent, Gharen hadn't spoken with this woman more than a handful of times before he suspected her of foul play, and soon after her intentions came to light. She knows precisely which buttons to push to anger him, and revealed to him the possibility that [[Roen Deneith]] was his sister. Recent events have changed his views regarding the woman, while he is certain that they will never be friends and that he will not forgive her for transgressions of the past. She assisted in locating and retrieving his sister and dealt with one of the individuals responsible personally, these actions have earned her a reprieve as far as he is concerned and no longer wishes harm upon her.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Fleeting Dawn]]''' - Never knowing quite what to expect from this woman, every encounter keeps Gharen guessing a little more than the last time. He has found that the best policy is to expect the unexpected and to try and not be surprised when she does something in order to get a reaction out of him.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Jajara Jara]]''' - One of the kindest and most giving individuals Gharen has met since his return to Thanalan, he considers himself lucky to count her among his friends. Gharen carries with him the vivid memory of killing his friend, despite seeing her recently and knowing that it did not actually occur does little to remove the pain of an act he never committed.

<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kage Kiryuu]]''' - ((Update Pending))

<font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Obsidian Hornet]]''' - The woman known as Obsidian Hornet has earned no small measure of respect, and trust in the brief time since they've met. She has a tendency to throw Gharen off balance with her forward nature and the fact that she does little if anything to mask her intentions. In the short time they spent together they both revealed things about themselves that they normally wouldn't have to others, Gharen came to love her during that time, seeing a warrior who was good and true despite what she believed about herself. Hornet has since left to places unknown to help people in need in an attempt to offset the darkness of her past and find balance, when she told Gharen about her choice he did not attempt to stop her, he understood her desire to go where she was needed most. Gharen carries with him the vivid memory of killing the woman he loves, despite seeing her recently and knowing that it did not actually occur does little to remove the pain of an act he never committed.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Osric Melkire]]''' - ((Update Pending))

<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Qaeli Varily]]''' - A silver haired Hyur woman whom Gharen met via The Grindstone tournaments, he respects and trusts the woman with his life. The two having spent almost a month together in the frigid lands of Coerthas, tracked down Qaeli's sister and attempted to find a cure for a friend's aetheric illness. He regards her as the closest thing he has had to family in a long time, but would never say so openly. Gharen carries with him the vivid memory of killing a loved one, despite seeing her recently and knowing that it did not actually occur does little to remove the pain of an act he never committed.

<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Roen Deneith]]''' - Gharen met Roen in the Markets of Ul'dah and after a short conversation invited the young woman to attend the grindstone tournaments. For a time he instructed her in combat with the sword and shield, he supports her decision to join the Sultansworn as he believes she would make a fine paladin. Recent revelations revealed that Roen is his sister Kayle who was presumed dead when Ala Mhigo fell.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Sila Neve]]''' - Gharen met "Miss Sila" while he was Overseer with the Grindstone. He finds her and her mannerisms intriguing and enjoys their conversations however brief they may be. Gharen currently believes she was killed by his own hand due to memory manipulation.

<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Askier Mergrey]]''' - Gharen knows little about the Miqo'te other than he stood in defense of [[Delial Grimsong]] when they first met, and then later kidnapped his sister, both actions earning Gharen's ire. A promise to Osric, The torture endured at the hands of Itar, and the fact that the Miqo'te attempted to defend, and rescue Roen from Itar when the kidnapping fell apart have kept Gharen from making his "displeasure" known. At this point, Gharen isn't sure what he would do if he were to come face to face with the man yet, and meditates upon that question daily.

<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Itarliht Syhrkoensyn]]''' - ''AKA Crimson Mountain,'' The first time Gharen met the large Roegadyn he was standing in defense of [[Delial Grimsong]]. During their meeting, Itar's constant self-righteousness in defense of the woman who was responsible for the deaths of Gharen's parents, and aided in his own capture and subsequent torture did not win him any favor. In fact, the two almost came to blows with Gharen threatening to "peel" the heavily armored Roe out of his armor and end him his bare hands. Itar, later further earned Gharen's hatred when he assisted [[Askier Mergrey]] in kidnapping his sister [[Roen Deneith]] an act that eventually led to him torturing both her, and Askier. Employing the assistance of [[Osric Melkire]] and [[Delial Grimsong]] Gharen eventually was able to confront the Roe and was ready to make good on his previous threat. Cooler heads prevailed, and against his better judgment Gharen let him go, in exchange for Itar and Delial sailing away, he would let Roen and Askier go. Later, alone on the boat, Delial ended Itar's life with a knife to the throat.

<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Raelisanne Banurein]]''' - Gharen knows nothing about this masked white haired hyur woman except that she is the facilitator of a series of torture sessions and that she is working along with Delial Grimsong. With his id influencing his current state of mind due to her efforts he wants nothing more than to kill her, violently.

'''1552-1557 Ala Mhigo'''

Born in Ala Mhigo, 1552, amidst the politcal upheaval of Ala Mhigo and the reign of King Theodorac, Gharen was raised by his working class family who despite the king’s decree continued to secretly worship Halone, and Azeyma. The family managed to survive this tumultuous time only to be torn apart when the Garlean Empire occupied the city. Though casualties of the occupation were few Gharen's father and mother were among them, his sister, at only a year and a half old at the time is also believed to have been killed.

Taken from the scene of his family’s death and escaping with refugees, it was during this time in the trek to Ul'dah that Gharen was put into the care of Ortolf Frostheart. Gharen's new guardian turned out to be both a drunk and viciously abusive.

'''1557-1569 Little Ala Mhigo'''

For twelve cycles Gharen lived a tortured existence under the "care" of his guardian. The scars he bears both physically and mentally are due to this period of time, broken bones due to vicious beatings, Burns from hot irons and lit torches, it was during this time that Gharen had forsaken the faith in the twelve instilled to him by his parents. At the age of 17 Gharen had reached his low point, he was prepared to die, several Sultansworn witnessed openly the physical abuse, and while one was prepared to stop it, the others argued to ignore it. It was that night that Gharen's Id awakened for the first time and he brutally killed Ortolf Frostheart.

'''1569-1572 The Wilds'''

After leaving Little Ala Mhigo, Gharen fled north, his distrust of people was so inherent he avoided villages and outposts all together. He had made camp on the outskirts of a small village on the Ishgardian border, living off the land as best as he could, he was barely surviving his first three months in the wilds and winter was nearing. Desperation eventually drove the young man to enter the village and find some way to get the supplies he would need to last the winter. It was during this time he met the local Blacksmith, an old Roegadyn Hellsguard by the name of Silent Mountain and his family, though it took some convincing, he had managed a job. He spent the next year learning the trades of smithing and mining under the gruff old Roegadyn and his sons, though he continued to live in several areas outside of town, never staying in the same camp for more than a couple of days at a time.

:* Individuals that live(d) in Little Ala Mhigo during the timeline listed above may remember Gharen and his Guardian.

'''Coatleque Crofte''' (pronounced cottl-ee-kay) is, by her knowledge, the only remaining survivor of her
fishing village from the north. Her life has been hard since the Calamity, but she is slowly working to piece it
back together and raise her station.

==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''General Demeanor''</div>==

Coatleque tries to appear and act like a proper lady at all times. She will almost always be in uniform as this
is the only symbol she has of her current station in society. To the common man she can easily fit the role of
a knight, but to a true aristocrat her sometimes rough mannerisms and verbal slip-ups are blatantly clear. She
is still the daughter of a fisherman after all.

While on duty her purpose is clear. She acts with respect and exudes the authoritative presence one would expect
of the Sultansworn. She will avoid idle banter as well and only interject if she has a relevant point to make.
Otherwise, business is business.

On the chance that you catch her off of duty, she is shy and awkward socially. Having to see everyone else's
lives play out before her on a daily bases, she often forgets to have her own. Since taking up her mantle as the
public face of the Sultansworn she has begun to open up more socially, however.

==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''Education / Job History''</div>==

[[File:Coatleque_Crofte_4.jpg|250px|left]]

- See Background for more detail -

Behind all her pretense, Coatleque has a rather sharp mind. While she started off with nothing due to her
upbringing, the eventual life she was forced into brought great opportunity for her to learn. She taught
herself to read and write in her time alone, learned a few sensual arts such as massage, and how to speak
to the cultural elite of the city. Granted, not much of this helps in her current profession.

She knows the basics of conjuration as her first inclination upon gaining her freedom was to help others. She
met her dear friend Jancis Milburga during this time and the two became inseparable. Unfortunately she just
wasn't able to grasp some of the gentler concepts and decided to leave.

Taking up a sword, she joined the Brass Blades. She knew them as the ones who freed her from a life of forced
servitude. They knew her as the high-class whore some of them often visited years before. Unable to gain an
onze of respect among the wolves, she left to end the bullying if nothing else.

With nowhere else to turn she found herself registering at the Gladiator's guild with the mind of meeting a
quick death in the Colosseum. It turned out she had picked up the sword rather well. Very well in fact, and
quickly gained both respect and station. With new-found purpose in life and a talent she could exploit,
she did not hesitate to swear her life in service of the Sultana when given the chance. Now a member of the
Sultansworn elite, she spends her time protecting Her Grace while trying to keep the peace between her other
investigations.

==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''Spirituality''</div>==

A firm believer in the Twelve, Coatleque relies on them for strength and guidance. She will not push her
beliefs on others however. She simply does not understand how some could so blatantly ignore the truths that
she feels are so evident in the world around her. She will pray to Menphina the most, in private, as she feels
she has committed some slight against the Lover which has placed a curse upon her life that dooms any meaningful
relationship to fail or be ripped from her.

She is also closely tied to Nymeia, whom she believes places portents of things to come in the dreams of
those who are destined to change them.

==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''Combat - Views & Behavior''</div>==

[[File:250px-Coatleque Crofte 2.png|200px|right]]

Coatleque will carry her longsword by her side while on duty. It is kept sharp, well oiled, and can be drawn
at a moment's notice. She will use this sword both single and two-handed as necessary, favoring either quick
defense or strong offense. She carries her shield only if brought into a campaign where a larger battle is assured.
She has no love for war, however, and will avoid mass conflicts when possible.

Her mastery of the longsword is what one would expect from the elite of Ul'dah. When fighting one-handed she will
favor a semi-defensive approach with the aim to lock blades and disarm. When double-gripping her sword, she will
favor a more offensive flowing style that uses momentum to maximize damage and force her opponent to dodge rather
than counter. In either case, it is clear her combat is derived from a brute force live-or-die approach rather
than the dextrous mock-combat fencing style.

==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''Healing - Views & Abilities''</div>==

While it is true that Coatleque has some minor training in Conjuration, she was never very adept at the concept.
She finds it hard to focus, especially in times of stress, which is not a particularly good trait for someone
attempting to heal others. She does know how to heal and even to raise. The former is very taxing on her, while
the latter will leave her exhausted to the point of being momentarily incapacitated.

==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''Background''</div>==
====<div style="margin: 0.5em; padding: 0em 1em;">(In Character)</div>====

Coatleque is not wont to talk of her past history to people she doesn't know. You would be better off winning
her trust first. Otherwise, if hard-pressed she may anger and simply leave.

====<div style="margin: 0.5em; padding: 0em 1em;">(Out of Character)</div>====

Coatleque is from a remote fishing village at the Southern tip of Ala'Mhigo. Born after the empire's invasion,
this technically makes her Garlean if not for location. Built on the coast, of little importance, they eked
out a meager existence far from any city. She was a typical country girl, the daughter of a fisherman, with
no special skills or talents. Her parents were in the process of arranging her to be given away to the miller's
son. A quiet life she was honestly looking forward to.

When Dalamud came raining down, a rather large chunk landed in the ocean off their coast. The resulting
tidal wave destroyed the village and swept away a majority of its inhabitants. She was only 17 at the time.
The remnants of the coast were soon raided by brigands from the mountains looking to make quick coin off the
salvage. What few villagers remained were captured. The men were either put to the sword or pressed into
service. The women did not fair so well.

Carted off in rags, they were taken by cover of night to Ul'dah and sold to one of the more high-class
brothels of the under-ground. For three long years she served all manner of clients under fear of torture
or death. Each night spent crying out to Menphina for deliverance. Eventually, as all people who think
they are more influential than they really are do, the owner angered a very important client who was also
a member of the Syndicate. Soon after, the Brass Blades swept through the establishment in a false-front raid
to "expose slave trafficking". Coatleque escaped during the chaos as many of the courtesans fled.

She spent the next two years bettering herself and learning to fight. She has a mind for revenge against
the brigands that raided her village so many years ago. But she would also like to find any others that may
have survived, especially her family whom she has had no word of for these long five years. She has no interest
in going back, however. She knows there is nothing for her there. She has embraced her life as a citizen of
Ul'dah - even as she prepares to take her oath to lay down her life for the Sultana.

==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''Relationships''</div>==
====<div style="margin: 0.5em; padding: 0em 1em;">Family & Personal Life</div>====

Her family was either killed by the tidal wave that destroyed her village, or captured by brigands in the wake
of the Calamity. She has not heard from anyone in over five years and has all but given up hope of contacting them.

Coatleque appears to be all business on the outside. She will rarely joke, dresses conservatively, and does
not show much outward emotion. Inside, however, she considers her friends very dear to her. She values life and
treats all with the respect they show themselves to deserve.

She is attracted to strength and confidence. She needs to be assured she will be safe and protected, but not
coddled and sheltered. While her recent past has forced her to bed both men and women, she would say the latter was
not her choice. She longs for the life she was denied, to marry and raise her own family away from the bustle and
dangers of city life.

====<div style="margin: 0.5em; padding: 0em 1em;">People She Knows</div>====

This is a fairly exhaustive list of everyone that Coatleque knows in-game. I only add names to this list if more than two words have ever been said between her and them. If your name is not here and you think it should be, please send me a PM or a tell in-game. Coatleque knows so many people now, I may have just forgotten to add you!

Despite his massive failings as a man, he does know what happens in the underground of Ul'dah society, and Coatleque must unfortunately continue to deal with him as a source of somewhat reliable information.</td>

She is still working under cover, however, and has assumed a pseudo-name until she feels ready to reveal her return to Ul'dah.</td>

The always lovely bar maid of the Quicksand. The nights she is working just seem to pass too quickly. She never did tell Coatleque her last name, so the Knight simply calls her Miss Aya. Her constant kindness towards the Knight have caused Coatleque to take pause. She considers her a friend now, more than an acquaintance, and would try to keep her at length from the troubles of the city.</td>

<td style="padding: 2px 5px;">Coatleque does not know much about this woman, and from what she's seen so far that's a good thing. The Miqo'te comes off as very haughty, pushy, even rude. There is a certain tension present whenever they are in the same room together, and is probably best for the both of them that Coatleque can hold her tongue. Coatleque will refer to her as 'Madam Valadis' and indulge her aristocratic attitude, but personally would not shed a tear if the woman was finally put in her place.</td>

Coatleque refused to cooperate with the unauthorized investigation of an outsider yet offered to aid him by making her own formal inquiry on his behalf.

(New Events at Top, but some may relate to others. All will be updated as things proceed)

<u><b>Current Plotlines (in Progress):</b></u>
<spoiler>
:<u>The Road to Redemption</u>:
::*Having acted against her orders now, Coatleque has submitted a lengthy report to her Captain regarding three disgraced Sultansworn. She is currently waiting reprimand for disobedience, but feels her actions were justified as laid out in her documentation. While two of the three seem to be far past saving, she still holds hope for their third."<br />
::*Coatleque went to visit Ser Deneith at her safe house to impart what wisdom she could to the girl, in hopes that she will not succumb to whatever dark thoughts are currently assaulting her. Time will tell if her words carried weight.<br />
::*In an effort to draw pressure away from her three comrades, Coatleque has devised a plan to use the evidence that was once their bane to take official responsibility of the entire investigation. What was once used against the three may yet now be used to save them all if she can maneuver around politics correctly.<br />
::*Having now been ordered to detain Roen Deneith herself, Coatleque has used the preliminary time given to her to warn Ser Deneith of the situation, and to begin building her case for acquittal. Coatleque now plans to build her case based around deeds versus words to prove Roen is above the reproach of these charges which were levied by a single witness.<br />
::*With the reinstatement of Natalie Mcbeef to the order, the pair have been thrust together in a sort of partnership by their Captain. While Ser Crofte is intent on building the case to save Ser Deneith, Ser Mcbeef seems to be more interested in the details of Coatleque's love life.<br />
::*After meeting a face from her past she'd rather have forgotten, Coatleque has a meeting arranged to speak with Shaelen about the events at the mine so many months ago. The cost may be high, but she is prepared to do what is necessary for Roen's defense.<br />
::*Coatleque met with Jameson Taeros to discuss the recent attempt on Roen's life while she is in prison. She was almost getting somewhere to, until Natalie showed up and the conversation was diverted. She extended another invitation to the man as a courtesy and in hopes she may yet pry more information from him.<br />

:<u>Paladinhood, or, <i>To Be a Sultansworn</i></u>:<br />
::*Since pledging her life and blade to the Sultansworn, Coatleque has been taking active guard duty in Ul'dah. A boring start to her career.<br />
::*Coatleque's stalwart defense of the innocents of Ul'Dah are beginning to garner her more support from the populace while she is on duty. Her name seems to be rising quickly through word of mouth.<br />
::*Faced with an ongoing investigation and internal inquiry, the Sultansworn have been left in an awkward position regarding allegations of corruption. With a need to maintain a show of strength to counteract the Monetarists, Jenlyns has quickly promoted his new rising star to replace the Sergeant he had to dismiss recently. Her orders are to maintain her patrols and be the Sworn's face to the public.<br />
::*With the reinstatement of Ser Mcbeef to the Order, Coatleque has attempted to step down from her position so that the former Sergeant may retake her rightful place. Both Mcbeef and Captain Jenlyns were adverse to the notion, however, and so Ser Crofte retains her current rank.<br />
::*With the continued absence of Ser Sadowyn, it was decided that Ser Crofte would take her pace as the embodiment of Loyalty during the Trials of the Sultansworn. She will assist Captain Mynheir and Ser Mcbeef in the training of new applicants.<br />

:<u>Oil and Water</u>:<br />
::*Gaspard Howlett, someone who had approached Coatleque while she was on duty, has since provided her with information she requested. After payment, he gave her a counter offer asking for a more permanent role within the city. As this was not something she could offer, she instead brought him to the Red Wings headquarters with the mind that they may be able to use him.<br />
::*It was since made known to her exactly what methods Master Howlett employs. She is quickly finding distaste for the man and has written him with requests of an audience to discuss matters before they get out of hand.<br />
</spoiler>

<u><b>Previous / Finished Plotlines:</b></u>
<spoiler>
:<u>Lifting Menphina's Curse:</u>
::*Coatleque's prior relationships have all fallen apart for one reason or another. She continues to believe herself cursed by the Lover to always be alone. There is one other, however, who may be of like mind. Perhaps too much of like mind, as neither of them have yet to act on it.<br />
::*After the stress of recent events, and having almost given her life to fulfill her oath, Coatleque has finally been able to admit to herself that she is ready for a serious relationship. However, upon confessing this to the man she desires, he retorted with a confession of murder. With her expectations shattered once again, Coatleque simply left him standing there with no further words.<br />
::*As her nightmares continue to grow steadily worse, Coatleque found herself drawing closer to Ser Castille once more. She was comforted enough by his presence to be able to sleep as he watched over her from the door. On another occasion, he arrived after she had woken from another dream and stayed to read to her. She could no longer deny the effect he was having on her life.<br />
::*After another stressful week, Coatleque requested that Warren continue the story he had begun a prior night. He waited in her room as she was kept late with her work, only to surprise her there. After a touchingly awkward moment between the two, they spent the night together as they confessed their love for each other under Menphina's embrace.<br />

:<u>The Thanks I Get</u>:
::*After saving a girl's life (Jenzi) from a would be assassin (Briareus) in the Quicksand, Coatleque found herself accosted not two bells later that same night by the same assassin and his target. They both accused Coatleque of signing the contract on the woman's life, a charge she vehemently denied before all present. A riot nearly ensued afterwords as Flames, Blades, and Paladins answered her call for support. Still she stood her ground with the law on her side and the Ishgardian backed down when it was clear she (Coatleque) would not submit to his inquisition. Once the crowd had dispersed, it was made known the barmaid (Aya) may have information. She gave Coatleque the names of three disgraced Sultansworn (Natalie, Kage, Roen) who may have forged no less than sixteen contracts on Jenzi's life, if Briareus's accusations are true.<br />
::*Coatleque has been contacted by the assassin once again. Briareus seemed to be after someone he refereed to as Kalas. Before she could react, the man ran off with a comrade. Apparently their quarry had already been caught.<br />
::*Some days later, the Knight was contacted and asked to meet with the mysterious Master Zero. The man has requested her aid in the near future, but seems tight lipped on the details. While she is not about to turn away someone in need, she also cannot pledge help to a cause she does not know. She asked him to contact her once there is something he actually needs her to do other than false hope and promises.<br />
::*Rumor has it, Briareus is still conducting his investigation, and Coatleque's name has been brought up more than once over the past fortnight, though she has not been approached directly.<br />
::*Jenzi Einzig has contact Coatleque to request her aid. In exchange for the odd request of two Sultansworn emblems, Jenzi has agreed to provide Ser Crofte with any information she can overhear while she moves about the city.<br />
::*It seems there is now a plot underfoot to summon a primal using a large cache of fire crystals currently held by the Sultansworn. While the Ishgardian Briareus is intent on pressing the matter, Jenzi informs Crofte that the man is bent on some sort of revenge. Coatleque has been caught in the middle without enough information to act against either.<br />
::*After yet more heated exchanges, Briareus's hand was forced and he and his assassin attacked the Red Wings's own stronghold. They left Ser Filangeiri for dead, a mistake that would soon catch up to them as the entire organization attempted a confrontation in the city. Briareus fled under pain of death should he ever return to the city.<br />

:<u>Blood in the Sands</u>:
::*Coatleque was approached by a pale man in the Quicksand with rumors of poison being distributed to refugees outside the city gate. She followed him to the source only to be ambushed by three voidsent creatures. Despite her efforts, and those of Oscare Iono who had followed her, she was unable to fight off the attack. Suffering a fractured leg, she agreed to go willingly if Oscare was spared. The creatures took her to the mage Austurmax Laforet who, after an additional brief struggle, was able to bind her in one of Jin'li's collars.<br />
::*Ordered to 'lay low' in Camp Drybone, Coatleque was mostly absent for a full week, and not present during the first attack against Ul'dah. She did not even learn of the poisoning till a full five suns afterwords.<br />
::*Finally having met her 'master', Coatleque learned that she would be used in an assassination attempt against someone of import within the city. All she could do was write warning to Ser Castille and continue to stay hidden in hopes that he would be able to gather allies and prepare.<br />
::*The day of the second attack came, and Coatleque found her role to be that of escort for the assassins to the palace. Faced with either breaking her oath and being branded a traitor, or disobeying Jin'li and being killed, she did the only thing possible in that situation and took her own life. Leading the assassins to the foot of the palace stairs, she fell on her sword rather than allowing Jin'li to kill her. This was enough to raise the alarm as the assassins ran past her towards the promenade. Her wound was not instantly fatal, however, and with the timely arrival of [[Syl Souther]] and other members of Coral, she was healed and stabilized while the battle raged on the second floor.<br />
::*After the failed assassination attempt, [[Warren Castille]] found Coatleque leaning against the wall at the bottom of the stairs and was able to remove her collar, disarming the explosive device at the same time. Now free of Jin'li's control, she is able to resume her regular duties.<br />
::*While Ser Crofte recovered from her self-inflicted wound, the Red Wings dealt with Jin'li and removed the threat once and for all.<br />

:<u>Harbingers' Leviathon Plot</u>: While the Harbinger's Vanguard fought the Leviathan near the Ilse of Umbra, Coatleque led a successful diversionary move against the Sahaguin to prevent them from interfering with the main assault. Once the beast was felled, she ordered the withdraw to reinforce the company while the wounded were tended to.<br />

:<u>Case of the Missing Pants</u>: Coatleque received a new set of finery as thanks from the famous Otto Vann, fashion designer of Ul'dah.<br />

:<u>Dear Sister</u>:
::*It's hard not to get involved in your best friend's love life when everyone else keeps throwing it in your face.<br />
::*Taking a passive role in the whole business seems to have paid off, as Jancis's relationship woes have seemingly been smoothed over.<br />

:<u>Career Change</u>:
::*With the company slowly falling apart under absent leadership, a change of allegiance has finally been forced. While Coatleque's first liege has always been the Sultana, she worries for the rest of the Harbingers who are now scattered abroad.
::*Looking to fill her spare time with yet more work, Coatleque has thrown her blade in with the Sailors of the Coral Sea.<br />

:<u>The Piquant Pumpkin</u>:
::*Coatleque accepted a position to provide security at Gus Pumpkinweed's new Cafe during its grand opening.
::*Services were once again rendered as security for the Spooky Lightsday at camp Bluefog.

:<u>Tension Abounds</u>:<br />
::*After sharing some personal 'girl' time with Tasa in the Mist, the pair parted ways with an unexpected kiss.<br />
::*An emotional parting of ways occurred as both women decided to move on from the Harbingers. They have promised to keep in touch however possible.<br />
::*Some shameless flirting has led to a sudden outburst in public. Has a relationship been strained, or has Coatleque been forced to confront her fears of being hurt?<br />
::*Time can heal most wounds. In this case it has drawn the two closer together. Deciding to just see where things lead, Tasa and Coatleque have decided to face their fears together for now.<br />
::*Coatleque's position has been keeping her tied up with work more often than not. She worries about the strain this may cause on her 'relationship' and is already convinced things are going to turn downhill. She feels she has been cursed by Menphina herself in this aspect of her life.<br />
::*After providing assitance to Ser Warren Castille in Coerthas, Coatleque is feeling rather conflicted as to how she wants her life to proceed from here. It may be time to have a heart-to-heart with Tasa, whom she has not seen in quite some time.<br />
::*Tasa has come to Ul'dah to speak with Coatleque about their relationship. While Tasa expressed concern and made her case as to why they should not continue, Coatleque remained distant and emotionless. Her work had taken too much of a toll for her to respond. The two decided to part ways and remain in contact as friends.<br />

WORK IN PROGRESS
==Character==
===General===

Natalie Mcbeef is a friendly, yet battle hardened Miqo'te who resides in the City of Ul'dah. She grew up alone on the streets of Ul'dah after fleeing her tribe. Her rather unique name comes from choosing a hyur name in a fit of teenage rebelliousness, an action she now regrets. Because her upbringing she is culturally distant from the people of her race, and has a dim outlook on most traditional Miqo'te customs. Despite her difficult childhood she has grown to be a proud daughter of Ul'dah, and loves the city dearly despite its faults. In her late teens she trained tirelessly to join the ranks of the Sultansworn, and although she often acts independently these days, she still takes her duties very seriously.

===Appearance===

Natalie is quite tall for a female Miqo'te, taller than many males, and standing eye to eye with some Hyur as well. She is very athletic, with good reflexes and endurance, but still her face is covered with scars from her many wounds. She takes little care in maintaining her appearance, and never wears cosmetics or attempts to trim her bushy eyebrows. Her hair is cropped close and short, in order to prevent an enemy from grabbing onto it. Her most striking feature are her piercing green eyes, which she often uses to stare down the enemies of Ul'dah. She eschews clothes and fashion, and can normally only be seen in her full combat armor, or a lighter set designed for patrolling the city.

===Behavior===

Natalie views herself first and foremost a protector of Ul'dah and it's citizens, and most of her behavior is based around that fact. When she is off duty she is friendly, playful, and warm, however under her warmth lies a core of steel, always ready to defend her city. She frequently questions those who she suspects to be involved in various misdeeds, mixing harsh questions with a friendly demeanor that often puts people off guard. She is often seen hanging around the Quicksand in her off duty hours, where she is quick to strike up a conversation with any that approach her. She is notorious for pushing those around her, trying to make them reach what she sees as their full potential. This process can sometimes be quite dangerous, and her friends curse and praise her in equal measure for such acts.

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

Natalie can almost always be seen wielding a sword and shield, and she is out of her element when using other weapons. Her standard fighting style seems to be cautiously offensive, attempting to pressure her opponents and cause them to make mistakes. While she likes fighting, especially in the Arena, she does not like hurting or killing people, and makes every effort to resolve situations without using violence.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* Ale, Rum and Alcohol of any Sort
::* Meeting new people
::* Fighting (Friendly Matches, The Arena, Killing Primals for the 30th time)
::* Keeping the city safe

===Dislikes===
::* Killing or Hurting others, Physically or Emotionally
::* Being lied to
::* Dealing with her feelings
::* People who take advantage of others

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* Fighting
::* Investigating criminal matters
::* Making friends.

===Nicknames===
::* 'Nat' by her friends
::* 'Sultansworn' Often used respectfully, but sometimes said in a sarcastic tone

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

Natalie has fully distanced herself from her original tribe. Despite that, she's found new family, helping to create an 'Urban' version of a Mi'qote tribe.

===Friends===

Until recently, Natalie's duties had left her little time to spend inside the city, however now that events with the Garleans have calmed down slightly, she has been able to develop a social life within the city. Some people she calls friends are:
(descriptions and links coming soon)

-'''[[Amaderuil Graham]]:''': One of the first people Natalie met after returning from the Garlean campaign, Amad helped the stiff Natalie relax and learn to have fun again.

- '''[[Kage Kiryuu]]:''': Natalie originally found this shy lalafell hiding behind a pillar in the quicksand. Since then she has supervised his training, his trials, and his duties as a Sultansworn. She considers him her greatest friend, and her staunchest ally.

-'''[[Marrow Ochi]]:''': While Natalie was originally dismissive of her Primal origins, the two have grown very close over time, and now Natalie views herself as something of a big sister.

-'''[[C'kayah Tia]]:''': Kayah was the original focus of Natalie's longest and most painful investigation, and throughout it personal feelings developed in between the two. Though since then, they have put each other through enough pain for 10 lifetimes, they only grew closer with time. For a time Natalie called him Nuhn, and built an urban tribe in Ul'dah. They have since split.

-'''[[Salem Nuhn]]''': Natalie often teased Salem for his near constant presence on the quicksand's railings, however as time went on they began to become fast friends. Natalie agrees with his self given title "Master of Relaxation. Though currently Salem has been busy with tribal matters, Natalie still considers him a close friend.

-'''[[User:S'rahvi Khai|S'rahvi Khai]]:''': A close female friend, Natalie and Rahvi have strong affection towards each other, and mutual affection toward C'kayah.

-'''[[Roen Deneith]]:''': Natalie's apprentice of sorts, Roen is calm, collected, and restrained, everything that Natalie is not. Roen often ends up as the voice of reason to Natalie's more reckless actions. Currently Roen is a full fledged sultansworn, and their relationship wavers between familial and professional.

-'''[[Osric Melkire]]:''': This brash flame sergeant has many times been a thorn in Natalie's side. She is not sure of the reason for his emnity, but it certainly isn't because she punched him in the face.

===Enemies===

While Natalie has no specific enemies, she often finds herself at odds with various people during the course of her duties.

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===

==History/Timeline==

==History/Timeline==

Natalie was born 20 years before the battle of carteneau as N'natli M'kbeff, in a small miqo'te tribe to the east of Ul'dah. At the age of 16 she left her tribe, and traveled to Ul'dah, where she lived on the streets for a time. Eventually she before involved in the coliseum, changing her name to something flashier, "Natalie Mcbeef". She fought in the Coliseum for several year, eventually being picked up for her skill by the sultansworn, as they gathered strength to repel Bahamuts fall. Natalie played a minor role in the battle, and spent the next five years guarding Ul'dah and honing her skills. Five years later, she once again went into battle against the Garleans, this time on the front lines, taking part in most of the major conflicts of the war. After the war concluded, she returned to Ul'dah, where she primarily maintains security in the city, although she still ventures out to put down the occasional primal.

==Recent History====Recent History==
(Events are not rigidly attached to a timeframe)

Natalie has been through quite a few events, most of them her own fault. A brief listing follows: \

1) Helped Salem Nuhn exorcise the spirit that had been haunting him since the battle of Carteneau.

2) Was tempered by an artificially constructed primal ([[Marrow Ochi]]), thankfully it was not as thorough as that of a full primal, and was reversed.

3) Joined the Night Blades, helped stop a voidsent that had possessed one of it's members, and was rampaging through the streets of Ul'dah.

4) Was promoted to the rank of Sergeant in the Sultansworn, began to train apprentices who eventually became full Knights. Past Apprentices: [[Roen Deneith]], [[Kage Kiryuu]], [[Lambert Arkwright]].
Current Apprentice: Aldyet.

5) Was involved in a mission to retrieve a stolen Cerulean core from an Al ahmigan resistance group. Went poorly.

6) Had a long and tumultuous relationship with [[C'kayah Tia]], in which they started a tribe together. It has collapsed since, and Kage Kiryuu has taken up the mantle of leadership from the Tribe.

7) Guarded the Sultana at the Royal Ball, during which a bandit known as Thunder attacked several guests. Pursued Thunder for a time, but she seems to have gone to ground since then.

- '''[[Kage Kiryuu]]:''': Natalie originally found this shy lalafell hiding behind a pillar in the quicksand. Since then she has supervised his training, his trials, and his duties as a Sultansworn. She considers him her greatest friend, and her staunchest ally.

-'''[[Marrow Ochi]]:''': While Natalie was originally dismissive of her Primal origins, the two have grown very close over time, and now Natalie views herself as something of a big sister.

Though since then, they have put each other through enough pain for 10 lifetimes, they only grew closer with time. For a time Natalie called him Nuhn, and built an urban tribe in Ul'dah. They have since split.

-'''[[Salem Nuhn]]''': Natalie often teased Salem for his near constant presence on the quicksand's railings, however as time went on they began to become fast friends.

==History/Timeline==

==History/Timeline==

Natalie was born 20 years before the battle of carteneau as N'natli M'kbeff, in a small miqo'te tribe to the east of Ul'dah. At the age of 16 she left her tribe, and traveled to Ul'dah, where she lived on the streets for a time. Eventually she before involved in the coliseum, changing her name to something flashier, "Natalie Mcbeef". She fought in the Coliseum for several year, eventually being picked up for her skill by the sultansworn, as they gathered strength to repel Bahamuts fall. Natalie played a minor role in the battle, and spent the next five years guarding Ul'dah and honing her skills. Five years later, she once again went into battle against the Garleans, this time on the front lines, taking part in most of the major conflicts of the war. After the war concluded, she returned to Ul'dah, where she primarily maintains security in the city, although she still ventures out to put down the occasional primal.

==Recent History====Recent History==
(Events are not rigidly attached to a timeframe)

Natalie has been through quite a few events, most of them her own fault. A brief listing follows: \

1) Helped Salem Nuhn exorcise the spirit that had been haunting him since the battle of Carteneau.

2) Was tempered by an artificially constructed primal ([[Marrow Ochi]]), thankfully it was not as thorough as that of a full primal, and was reversed.

3) Joined the Night Blades, helped stop a voidsent that had possessed one of it's members, and was rampaging through the streets of Ul'dah.

4) Was promoted to the rank of Sergeant in the Sultansworn, began to train apprentices who eventually became full Knights. Past Apprentices: [[Roen Deneith]], [[Kage Kiryuu]], [[Lambert Arkwright]].
Current Apprentice: Aldyet.

5) Was involved in a mission to retrieve a stolen Cerulean core from an Al ahmigan resistance group. Went poorly.

6) Had a long and tumultuous relationship with [[C'kayah Tia]], in which they started a tribe together. It has collapsed since, and Kage Kiryuu has taken up the mantle of leadership from the Tribe.

7) Guarded the Sultana at the Royal Ball, during which a bandit known as Thunder attacked several guests. Pursued Thunder for a time, but she seems to have gone to ground since then.

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

Natalie Mcbeef is a friendly, yet battle hardened Miqo'te who resides in the City of Ul'dah. She grew up alone on the streets of Ul'dah after fleeing her tribe. Her rather unique name comes from choosing a hyur name in a fit of teenage rebelliousness, an action she now regrets. Because her upbringing she is culturally distant from the people of her race, and has a dim outlook on most traditional Miqo'te customs. Despite her difficult childhood she has grown to be a proud daughter of Ul'dah, and loves the city dearly despite its faults. In her late teens she trained tirelessly to join the ranks of the Sultansworn, and although she often acts independently these days, she still takes her duties very seriously.

===Appearance===

Natalie is quite tall for a female Miqo'te, taller than many males, and standing eye to eye with some Hyur as well. She is very athletic, with good reflexes and endurance, but still her face is covered with scars from her many wounds. She takes little care in maintaining her appearance, and never wears cosmetics or attempts to trim her bushy eyebrows. Her hair is cropped close and short, in order to prevent an enemy from grabbing onto it. Her most striking feature are her piercing green eyes, which she often uses to stare down the enemies of Ul'dah. She eschews clothes and fashion, and can normally only be seen in her full combat armor, or a lighter set designed for patrolling the city.

===Behavior===

Natalie views herself first and foremost a protector of Ul'dah and it's citizens, and most of her behavior is based around that fact. When she is off duty she is friendly, playful, and warm, however under her warmth lies a core of steel, always ready to defend her city. She frequently questions those who she suspects to be involved in various misdeeds, mixing harsh questions with a friendly demeanor that often puts people off guard. She is often seen hanging around the Quicksand in her off duty hours, where she is quick to strike up a conversation with any that approach her. She is notorious for pushing those around her, trying to make them reach what she sees as their full potential. This process can sometimes be quite dangerous, and her friends curse and praise her in equal measure for such acts.

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

Natalie can almost always be seen wielding a sword and shield, and she is out of her element when using other weapons. Her standard fighting style seems to be cautiously offensive, attempting to pressure her opponents and cause them to make mistakes. While she likes fighting, especially in the Arena, she does not like hurting or killing people, and makes every effort to resolve situations without using violence.

After the war concluded, she returned to Ul'dah, where she primarily maintains security in the city, although she still ventures out to put down the occasional primal.

==Recent History==
(Events are not rigidly attached to a timeframe)

- Natalie returned to the city, and began investigating one C'kayah Tia, at the behest of the syndicate. Through him, she also cast her eyes on his friends and associates, such as Roen, Siha, Emelie, and Erik.

- After she and C'Kayah dealt with a complicated murder case together, Natalie's judgement with C'kahyah began to become impaired. Around this time Natalie met a woman named Marrow, who claimed to be the result of a Garlean experiment to create an artifical primal.

- Natalie's investigation of Erik's group began to intensify, as rumour's abounded that he was involved with necromancy and worse. Nat's suspicion inadvertently caused Roen to lose her job as a mercenary, forcing her into less than desirable work. Near this time, Marrow had a emotional breakdown, almost transforming physically into a full primal. Natalie was able to calm Marrow, averting the danger, and increasing the bond between them.

- After defending C'kayah from a vigilante lancer, and discovering they had reasonable evidence for attacking him, Natalie began to lose her suspicion of C'kayah's criminal activities. Erik disappeared as well, leaving Natalie suspicious of the causes. Against her better judgement she reinstated Roen as a sultansworn apprentice, hoping to help steer the woman in the right direction, although their initial relationship was strained.

- While investigating a series of strange murders in the city, Natalie came upon a Voidsent named Ieza, and a strange group called the Night Blades, that were hunting it. While initially suspicious of them, she became impressed with their resources, and agreed to aid them in stopping the beast.

- Natalie received strong evidence that Kayah was involved in a extremely serious slave trading case. Natalie arrested and began the process of torturing the information out of him, right before the evidence was found to be forged. This incident left Natalie's faith in her chosen profession very shaken.

- Natalie introduced Roen to the nightblades, and began meeting more members, while she prepared to deal with the voidsent threat. Through this process, her and Roen's relationship began to relax, as they started to understand one another.

- After a complicated incident, the crystal which helped stabilize marrow's form broke, forcing her to flee through the Coerthas highlands. Eventually Natalie managed to insert the crystal under Marrow's skin, hopefully preventing a similar incident in the future. Afterwards Marrow presented her with one of her scales, which Natalie began to wear over her heart.

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

Natalie Mcbeef is a friendly, yet battle hardened Miqo'te who resides in the City of Ul'dah. She grew up alone on the streets of Ul'dah after fleeing her tribe. Her rather unique name comes from choosing a hyur name in a fit of teenage rebelliousness, an action she now regrets. Because her upbringing she is culturally distant from the people of her race, and has a dim outlook on most traditional Miqo'te customs. Despite her difficult childhood she has grown to be a proud daughter of Ul'dah, and loves the city dearly despite its faults. In her late teens she trained tirelessly to join the ranks of the Sultansworn, and although she often acts independently these days, she still takes her duties very seriously.

===Appearance===

Natalie is quite tall for a female Miqo'te, taller than many males, and standing eye to eye with some Hyur as well. She is very athletic, with good reflexes and endurance, but still her face is covered with scars from her many wounds. She takes little care in maintaining her appearance, and never wears cosmetics or attempts to trim her bushy eyebrows. Her hair is cropped close and short, in order to prevent an enemy from grabbing onto it. Her most striking feature are her piercing green eyes, which she often uses to stare down the enemies of Ul'dah. She eschews clothes and fashion, and can normally only be seen in her full combat armor, or a lighter set designed for patrolling the city.

===Behavior===

Natalie views herself first and foremost a protector of Ul'dah and it's citizens, and most of her behavior is based around that fact. When she is off duty she is friendly, playful, and warm, however under her warmth lies a core of steel, always ready to defend her city. She frequently questions those who she suspects to be involved in various misdeeds, mixing harsh questions with a friendly demeanor that often puts people off guard. She is often seen hanging around the Quicksand in her off duty hours, where she is quick to strike up a conversation with any that approach her. She is notorious for pushing those around her, trying to make them reach what she sees as their full potential. This process can sometimes be quite dangerous, and her friends curse and praise her in equal measure for such acts.

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

Natalie can almost always be seen wielding a sword and shield, and she is out of her element when using other weapons. Her standard fighting style seems to be cautiously offensive, attempting to pressure her opponents and cause them to make mistakes. While she likes fighting, especially in the Arena, she does not like hurting or killing people, and makes every effort to resolve situations without using violence.

===Friends===

Until recently, Natalie's duties had left her little time to spend inside the city, however now that events with the Garleans have calmed down slightly, she has been able to develop a social life within the city. Some people she calls friends are:
(descriptions and links coming soon)

-'''[[Amaderuil Graham]]:''': One of the first people Natalie met after returning from the Garlean campaign, Amad helped the stiff Natalie relax and learn to have fun again.

- '''[[Kage Kiryuu]]:''': Natalie originally found this shy lalafell hiding behind a pillar in the quicksand. Since then she has supervised his training, his trials, and his duties as a Sultansworn. She considers him her greatest friend, and her staunchest ally.

-'''[[Marrow Ochi]]:''': While Natalie was originally dismissive of her Primal origins, the two have grown very close over time, and now Natalie views herself as something of a big sister.

-'''[[C'kayah Tia]]:''': Kayah was the original focus of Natalie's longest and most painful investigation, and throughout it personal feelings developed in between the two. Though since then, they have put each other through enough pain for 10 lifetimes, they only grew closer with time. For a time Natalie called him Nuhn, and built an urban tribe in Ul'dah. They have since split.

-'''[[Salem Nuhn]]''': Natalie often teased Salem for his near constant presence on the quicksand's railings, however as time went on they began to become fast friends.

==History/Timeline==

==History/Timeline==

Natalie was born 20 years before the battle of carteneau as N'natli M'kbeff, in a small miqo'te tribe to the east of Ul'dah. At the age of 16 she left her tribe, and traveled to Ul'dah, where she lived on the streets for a time. Eventually she before involved in the coliseum, changing her name to something flashier, "Natalie Mcbeef". She fought in the Coliseum for several year, eventually being picked up for her skill by the sultansworn, as they gathered strength to repel Bahamuts fall. Natalie played a minor role in the battle, and spent the next five years guarding Ul'dah and honing her skills. Five years later, she once again went into battle against the Garleans, this time on the front lines, taking part in most of the major conflicts of the war. After the war concluded, she returned to Ul'dah, where she primarily maintains security in the city, although she still ventures out to put down the occasional primal.

==Recent History==
(Events are not rigidly attached to a timeframe)

- Natalie returned to the city, and began investigating one C'kayah Tia, at the behest of the syndicate. Through him, she also cast her eyes on his friends and associates, such as Roen, Siha, Emelie, and Erik.

- After she and C'Kayah dealt with a complicated murder case together, Natalie's judgement with C'kahyah began to become impaired. Around this time Natalie met a woman named Marrow, who claimed to be the result of a Garlean experiment to create an artifical primal.

- Natalie's investigation of Erik's group began to intensify, as rumour's abounded that he was involved with necromancy and worse. Nat's suspicion inadvertently caused Roen to lose her job as a mercenary, forcing her into less than desirable work. Near this time, Marrow had a emotional breakdown, almost transforming physically into a full primal. Natalie was able to calm Marrow, averting the danger, and increasing the bond between them.

- After defending C'kayah from a vigilante lancer, and discovering they had reasonable evidence for attacking him, Natalie began to lose her suspicion of C'kayah's criminal activities. Erik disappeared as well, leaving Natalie suspicious of the causes. Against her better judgement she reinstated Roen as a sultansworn apprentice, hoping to help steer the woman in the right direction, although their initial relationship was strained.

- While investigating a series of strange murders in the city, Natalie came upon a Voidsent named Ieza, and a strange group called the Night Blades, that were hunting it. While initially suspicious of them, she became impressed with their resources, and agreed to aid them in stopping the beast.

- Natalie received strong evidence that Kayah was involved in a extremely serious slave trading case. Natalie arrested and began the process of torturing the information out of him, right before the evidence was found to be forged. This incident left Natalie's faith in her chosen profession very shaken.

- Natalie introduced Roen to the nightblades, and began meeting more members, while she prepared to deal with the voidsent threat. Through this process, her and Roen's relationship began to relax, as they started to understand one another.

- After a complicated incident, the crystal which helped stabilize marrow's form broke, forcing her to flee through the Coerthas highlands. Eventually Natalie managed to insert the crystal under Marrow's skin, hopefully preventing a similar incident in the future. Afterwards Marrow presented her with one of her scales, which Natalie began to wear over her heart.

- While drinking in the quicksand, C'kayah admitted his criminal activities. Natalie became angry and confused, and a passing Flame overheard their conversation. A series of misunderstandings left C'kayah dead and Natalie arrested. While Natalie managed to free herself and resurrect C'kayah with a phoenix down, she ended the situation significantly more cynical about the concept of justice in general

- Natalie helped build a case against C'kayah for tax evasion, believing she needed to instead focus her efforts on Renault, a newcomer to Ul'dah's underground power scene, and seemingly much more violent than C'kayah. However soon after she discovered the extent of C'kayah's criminal activities, although torn she went along with the syndicates decision to use his group as a stabilizing force in Ul'dah. N'kryah M'kbeff, a miqote from the wilderness was found in Ul'dah, seeking a N'tali. It was quickly found that Natalie's commonly known past was a lie, and she was actually of tribal origins.

-The "Quicksand Appreciation Society" was formed to gather the lovers of Ul'dahs finest establishment. Soon after, Natalie asked the artificial primal '''[[Marrow Ochi]]:''' to temper her, a process both thought would merely protect her from the power of other Primals. Instead Natalie quickly succumbed to the mental effects, becoming a shell of her former self, and it was only due to the resourcefulness, compassion, and quick thinking of her friends that allowed her to break the tempering and regain her former self.

-'''[[C'kayah Tia]]:''': Kayah was the original focus of Natalie's longest and most painful investigation, and throughout it personal feelings developed in between the two. Though since then, they have put each other through enough pain for 10 lifetimes, they only grew closer with time. For a time Natalie called him Nuhn, and built an urban tribe in Ul'dah. They have since split.

-'''[[Salem Nuhn]]''': Natalie often teased Salem for his near constant presence on the quicksand's railings, however as time went on they began to become fast friends. Natalie agrees with his self given title "Master of Relaxation. Though currently Salem has been busy with tribal matters, Natalie still considers him a close friend.

-'''[[User:S'rahvi Khai|S'rahvi Khai]]:''': A close female friend, Natalie and Rahvi have strong affection towards each other, and mutual affection toward C'kayah.

-'''[[Roen Deneith]]:''': Natalie's apprentice of sorts, Roen is calm, collected, and restrained, everything that Natalie is not. Roen often ends up as the voice of reason to Natalie's more reckless actions. Currently Roen is a full fledged sultansworn, and their relationship wavers between familial and professional.

==History/Timeline==

==History/Timeline==

Natalie was born 20 years before the battle of carteneau as N'natli M'kbeff, in a small miqo'te tribe to the east of Ul'dah. At the age of 16 she left her tribe, and traveled to Ul'dah, where she lived on the streets for a time. Eventually she before involved in the coliseum, changing her name to something flashier, "Natalie Mcbeef". She fought in the Coliseum for several year, eventually being picked up for her skill by the sultansworn, as they gathered strength to repel Bahamuts fall. Natalie played a minor role in the battle, and spent the next five years guarding Ul'dah and honing her skills. Five years later, she once again went into battle against the Garleans, this time on the front lines, taking part in most of the major conflicts of the war. After the war concluded, she returned to Ul'dah, where she primarily maintains security in the city, although she still ventures out to put down the occasional primal.

==Recent History==
(Events are not rigidly attached to a timeframe)

- Natalie returned to the city, and began investigating one C'kayah Tia, at the behest of the syndicate. Through him, she also cast her eyes on his friends and associates, such as Roen, Siha, Emelie, and Erik.

- After she and C'Kayah dealt with a complicated murder case together, Natalie's judgement with C'kahyah began to become impaired. Around this time Natalie met a woman named Marrow, who claimed to be the result of a Garlean experiment to create an artifical primal.

- Natalie's investigation of Erik's group began to intensify, as rumour's abounded that he was involved with necromancy and worse. Nat's suspicion inadvertently caused Roen to lose her job as a mercenary, forcing her into less than desirable work. Near this time, Marrow had a emotional breakdown, almost transforming physically into a full primal. Natalie was able to calm Marrow, averting the danger, and increasing the bond between them.

- After defending C'kayah from a vigilante lancer, and discovering they had reasonable evidence for attacking him, Natalie began to lose her suspicion of C'kayah's criminal activities. Erik disappeared as well, leaving Natalie suspicious of the causes. Against her better judgement she reinstated Roen as a sultansworn apprentice, hoping to help steer the woman in the right direction, although their initial relationship was strained.

- While investigating a series of strange murders in the city, Natalie came upon a Voidsent named Ieza, and a strange group called the Night Blades, that were hunting it. While initially suspicious of them, she became impressed with their resources, and agreed to aid them in stopping the beast.

- Natalie received strong evidence that Kayah was involved in a extremely serious slave trading case. Natalie arrested and began the process of torturing the information out of him, right before the evidence was found to be forged. This incident left Natalie's faith in her chosen profession very shaken.

- Natalie introduced Roen to the nightblades, and began meeting more members, while she prepared to deal with the voidsent threat. Through this process, her and Roen's relationship began to relax, as they started to understand one another.

- After a complicated incident, the crystal which helped stabilize marrow's form broke, forcing her to flee through the Coerthas highlands. Eventually Natalie managed to insert the crystal under Marrow's skin, hopefully preventing a similar incident in the future. Afterwards Marrow presented her with one of her scales, which Natalie began to wear over her heart.

- While drinking in the quicksand, C'kayah admitted his criminal activities. Natalie became angry and confused, and a passing Flame overheard their conversation. A series of misunderstandings left C'kayah dead and Natalie arrested. While Natalie managed to free herself and resurrect C'kayah with a phoenix down, she ended the situation significantly more cynical about the concept of justice in general

- Natalie helped build a case against C'kayah for tax evasion, believing she needed to instead focus her efforts on Renault, a newcomer to Ul'dah's underground power scene, and seemingly much more violent than C'kayah. However soon after she discovered the extent of C'kayah's criminal activities, although torn she went along with the syndicates decision to use his group as a stabilizing force in Ul'dah. N'kryah M'kbeff, a miqote from the wilderness was found in Ul'dah, seeking a N'tali. It was quickly found that Natalie's commonly known past was a lie, and she was actually of tribal origins.

-The "Quicksand Appreciation Society" was formed to gather the lovers of Ul'dahs finest establishment. Soon after, Natalie asked the artificial primal '''[[Marrow Ochi]]:''' to temper her, a process both thought would merely protect her from the power of other Primals. Instead Natalie quickly succumbed to the mental effects, becoming a shell of her former self, and it was only due to the resourcefulness, compassion, and quick thinking of her friends that allowed her to break the tempering and regain her former self.

<BLOCKQUOTE><small>''"For the last time, that ain't my dagger he's carrying around in his bosom. If it was, he'd be dead. What kind of amateur sticks his pigs, anyway?

'''Chief Sergeant Osric Melkire''' (born 11th Sun of the 3rd Astral Moon) is a Lominsan native who found his way to Ul'dah in search of refuge and employment. Driven from his home at the age of twenty, he stowed away on the first ferry to Vesper Bay and was immediately arrested upon arrival. His plea for asylum in exchange for lifetime enlistment with the Immortal Flames was granted; that he bore with him a letter of introduction from a former officer didn't hurt matters, either.

Five years later, Osric now views Ul'dah as his home and has pledged himself to the Jewel of the Desert.

WORK IN PROGRESS
==Character==
===General===

Natalie Mcbeef is a friendly, yet battle hardened Miqo'te who resides in the City of Ul'dah. She grew up as an orphan on the streets of Ul'dah and does not know her birthday, tribe, parents or original name. Her rather unique name came from time spent in an orphanage, where herself and other children were simply assigned them randomly from a book. Because of this upbringing she is culturally distant from the people of her race, and has a dim outlook on most traditional Miqo'te customs. Despite her difficult childhood she has grown to be a proud daughter of Ul'dah, and loves the city dearly despite its faults. In her late teens she trained tirelessly to join the ranks of the Sultansworn, and although she often acts independently these days, she still takes her duties very seriously.

Recent evidence suggest that Natalie might have been lying about her past, as a female seeker has been seen prowling around the city, attempting to return Natalie to her tribe.

===Appearance===

Natalie is quite tall for a female Miqo'te, taller than many males, and standing eye to eye with some Hyur as well. She is very athletic, with good reflexes and endurance, but still her face is covered with scars from her many wounds. She takes little care in maintaining her appearance, and never wears cosmetics or attempts to trim her bushy eyebrows. Her hair is cropped close and short, in order to prevent an enemy from grabbing onto it. Her most striking feature are her piercing green eyes, which she often uses to stare down the enemies of Ul'dah. She eschews clothes and fashion, and can normally only be seen in her full combat armor, or a lighter set designed for patrolling the city.

===Behavior===

Natalie views herself first and foremost a protector of Ul'dah and it's citizens, and most of her behavior is based around that fact. When she is off duty she is friendly, playful, and warm, however under her warmth lies a core of steel, always ready to defend her city. She frequently questions those who she suspects to be involved in various misdeeds, mixing harsh questions with a friendly demeanor that often puts people off guard. She is often seen hanging around the Quicksand in her off duty hours, where she is quick to strike up a conversation with any that approach her.

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

Natalie can almost always be seen wielding a sword and shield, and she is out of her element when using other weapons. Her standard fighting style seems to be cautiously offensive, attempting to pressure her opponents and cause them to make mistakes. While she likes fighting, especially in the Arena, she does not like hurting or killing people, and makes every effort to resolve situations without using violence.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* Ale, Rum and Alcohol of any Sort
::* Meeting new people
::* Fighting (Friendly Matches, The Arena, Killing Primals for the 30th time)
::* Keeping the city safe

===Dislikes===
::* Killing or Hurting others, Physically or Emotionally
::* Being lied to
::* Dealing with her feelings
::* People who take advantage of others

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* Fighting
::* Investigating criminal matters
::* Making friends.

===Nicknames===
::* 'Nat' by her friends
::* 'Sultansworn' Often used respectfully, but sometimes said in a sarcastic tone

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

Natalie has no idea of her original tribe or Family, she treats her fellow Sultansworn as family.

===Friends===

Until recently, Natalie's duties had left her little time to spend inside the city, however now that events with the Garleans have calmed down slightly, she has been able to develop a social life within the city. Some people she calls friends are:
(descriptions and links coming soon)

-'''[[Amaderuil Graham]]:''': One of the first people Natalie met after returning from the Garlean campaign, Amad helped the stiff Natalie relax and learn to have fun again.

- '''[[Kage Kiryuu]]:''': Natalie originally found this shy lalafell hiding behind a pillar in the quicksand. Since then she has supervised his training, his trials, and his duties as a Sultansworn. She considers him her greatest friend, and her staunchest ally.

-'''[[Marrow Ochi]]:''': While Natalie was originally dismissive of her Primal origins, the two have grown very close over time, and now Natalie views herself as something of a big sister.

-'''[[C'kayah Tia]]:''': Kayah was the original focus of Natalie's longest and most painful investigation, and throughout it personal feelings developed in between the two. Though since then, they have put each other through enough pain for 10 lifetimes, they only grow closer with time. Currently Natalie calls him Nuhn, and is assisting him in building an urban tribe in Ul'dah.

-'''[[Salem Nuhn]]''': Natalie often teased Salem for his near constant presence on the quicksand's railings, however as time went on they began to become fast friends. Natalie agrees with his self given title "Master of Relaxation. Though currently Salem has been busy with tribal matters, Natalie still considers him a close friend.

-'''[[User:S'rahvi Khai|S'rahvi Khai]]:''': A close female friend, Natalie and Rahvi have strong affection towards each other, and mutual affection toward C'kayah.

-'''[[Roen Deneith]]:''': Natalie's apprentice of sorts, Roen is calm, collected, and restrained, everything that Natalie is not. Roen often ends up as the voice of reason to Natalie's more reckless actions. Currently Roen is a full fledged sultansworn, and their relationship wavers between familial and professional.

===Enemies===

While Natalie has no specific enemies, she often finds herself at odds with various people during the course of her duties.

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* 'I heard there's been a sultansworn sniffing around our operation' - Shady Resident
::* 'Ugh.. I always see that one surrounded by men..." - Snooty Woman
::* 'If you ever need help in the city, she's the one you should ask' - Quicksand Patron

===Moderate Rumors===
::* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
::* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
::* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

===Rare Rumors===
::* "I've heard she lied about being an orphan"
::* "She's a sultansworn, but she's in a relationship with a crime lord... maybe she's just building a case"

===PC Rumors===
(Feel free to edit)

==History/Timeline==

==History/Timeline==

Natalie was born 20 years before the battle of carteneau as N'natli M'kbeff, in a small miqo'te tribe to the east of Ul'dah. At the age of 16 she left her tribe, and traveled to Ul'dah, where she lived on the streets for a time. Eventually she before involved in the coliseum, changing her name to something flashier, "Natalie Mcbeef". She fought in the Coliseum for several year, eventually being picked up for her skill by the sultansworn, as they gathered strength to repel Bahamuts fall. Natalie played a minor role in the battle, and spent the next five years guarding Ul'dah and honing her skills. Five years later, she once again went into battle against the Garleans, this time on the front lines, taking part in most of the major conflicts of the war. After the war concluded, she returned to Ul'dah, where she primarily maintains security in the city, although she still ventures out to put down the occasional primal.

==Recent History==
(Events are not rigidly attached to a timeframe)

- Natalie returned to the city, and began investigating one C'kayah Tia, at the behest of the syndicate. Through him, she also cast her eyes on his friends and associates, such as Roen, Siha, Emelie, and Erik.

- After she and C'Kayah dealt with a complicated murder case together, Natalie's judgement with C'kahyah began to become impaired. Around this time Natalie met a woman named Marrow, who claimed to be the result of a Garlean experiment to create an artifical primal.

- Natalie's investigation of Erik's group began to intensify, as rumour's abounded that he was involved with necromancy and worse. Nat's suspicion inadvertently caused Roen to lose her job as a mercenary, forcing her into less than desirable work. Near this time, Marrow had a emotional breakdown, almost transforming physically into a full primal. Natalie was able to calm Marrow, averting the danger, and increasing the bond between them.

- After defending C'kayah from a vigilante lancer, and discovering they had reasonable evidence for attacking him, Natalie began to lose her suspicion of C'kayah's criminal activities. Erik disappeared as well, leaving Natalie suspicious of the causes. Against her better judgement she reinstated Roen as a sultansworn apprentice, hoping to help steer the woman in the right direction, although their initial relationship was strained.

- While investigating a series of strange murders in the city, Natalie came upon a Voidsent named Ieza, and a strange group called the Night Blades, that were hunting it. While initially suspicious of them, she became impressed with their resources, and agreed to aid them in stopping the beast.

- Natalie received strong evidence that Kayah was involved in a extremely serious slave trading case. Natalie arrested and began the process of torturing the information out of him, right before the evidence was found to be forged. This incident left Natalie's faith in her chosen profession very shaken.

- Natalie introduced Roen to the nightblades, and began meeting more members, while she prepared to deal with the voidsent threat. Through this process, her and Roen's relationship began to relax, as they started to understand one another.

- After a complicated incident, the crystal which helped stabilize marrow's form broke, forcing her to flee through the Coerthas highlands. Eventually Natalie managed to insert the crystal under Marrow's skin, hopefully preventing a similar incident in the future. Afterwards Marrow presented her with one of her scales, which Natalie began to wear over her heart.

- While drinking in the quicksand, C'kayah admitted his criminal activities. Natalie became angry and confused, and a passing Flame overheard their conversation. A series of misunderstandings left C'kayah dead and Natalie arrested. While Natalie managed to free herself and resurrect C'kayah with a phoenix down, she ended the situation significantly more cynical about the concept of justice in general

- Natalie helped build a case against C'kayah for tax evasion, believing she needed to instead focus her efforts on Renault, a newcomer to Ul'dah's underground power scene, and seemingly much more violent than C'kayah. However soon after she discovered the extent of C'kayah's criminal activities, although torn she went along with the syndicates decision to use his group as a stabilizing force in Ul'dah. N'kryah M'kbeff, a miqote from the wilderness was found in Ul'dah, seeking a N'tali. It was quickly found that Natalie's commonly known past was a lie, and she was actually of tribal origins.

-The "Quicksand Appreciation Society" was formed to gather the lovers of Ul'dahs finest establishment. Soon after, Natalie asked the artificial primal '''[[Marrow Ochi]]:''' to temper her, a process both thought would merely protect her from the power of other Primals. Instead Natalie quickly succumbed to the mental effects, becoming a shell of her former self, and it was only due to the resourcefulness, compassion, and quick thinking of her friends that allowed her to break the tempering and regain her former self.

<div style="text-align: center"><p>Born an only child in the year 1552 to a middle-class Ul'dahn family, Aerius lived a pleasant, if not dull, childhood. His parents may have struggled here and there to support themselves and their beloved son, but they managed given what they had. Their home was nothing spectacular, especially in the seedy trade capital of Eorzea, and Aerius only recalls being robbed a handful of times. He was envious of some of his more wealthy friends, but he was content with what he had. He likes to think his attitude as a child helped him to appreciate the little things in life. He spent the majority of his time growing up living in his imagination, fantasizing about amazing, faraway lands and the exciting prospect of danger. The thought of leading an epic life was his only aspiration, even if it simultaneously terrified his mother and father. He knew one day he'd conquer those distant mountains and overcome any challenge that came his way. He would become a hero.</p>

<div style="text-align: center"><p>Aerius is not the kind of guy you meet often in Eorzea. Where some might be calm, cool, and well-mannered, he is unpredictable, cocky, and sarcastic. He doesn't take many things seriously, he deeply enjoys pushing people's buttons, and he can't stand staying in one place for too long. He's encouraging of others, and he tries to help where he can. There are, of course, just as many low points as there are high points for him, however, and some days the things he's seen and done take their toll on him more visibly than other days. It's times like these that a different side of his—one that he tries his best to keep to himself—rears its ugly head. It's times like these that he can become snarky, short-tempered, bitter, and impatient. It's times where he's not afraid to tell you exactly what he thinks of you and lash out at anyone who has a problem with him. It's a part of him that's far more telling of what he's been through than the one he tries to outwardly present himself as. It's a part of him that he's deeply ashamed of. It's one of the many things he hides.</p>

He knows his way around hand-to-hand combat, at least enough to trounce your common beast, but when one considers how little he practices of other forms of combat, it's clear he isn't the strongest or the most skilled. Rather, he can be quickly and easily bested by the right opponent, beaten and broken with little resistance. But this isn't something he's shy about. While he may be incredibly prone to getting his ass handed to him, he's not the type to give up easily. His willpower is easily his finest trait, and no matter what pulls him down, he'll always find a way to get back up. More than anything, this is what he takes pride in.</p></div></div>

<div style="text-align: center"><p>Aerius, for better or worse, is an attractive personality. He can bring people together because they enjoy his company, because they have no better alternative, because they want to beat his ass into the ground—the point is that he brings people together. And due to this trait, he comes across quite a variety of different people, some leaving more of a mark on him than others, others probably turned off by his temperament, and none any the wiser of what he really thinks of them. He prefers it that way. These are people that, whether he'd ever openly admit it or not, currently hold some form of significance to him—either as friends, enemies, or something more.</p>

<div align=left>
'''[[Garrett Sancsaron|<span style="color:#000000">Garrett Sancsaron</span>]]:''' A young—or seemingly young—thaumaturge who aspires to be something greater. He's shy, introverted, skittish, coy, clumsy, friendly, responsible, loyal, and brave. He stutters almost any time he speaks and strives consistently to make himself a better person than he was the day before. He's prone to accidents, but he's committed to making things right. There are a great many traits of his Aerius knows he's hiding away somewhere, and they're remarkable and admirable in all their own rights, it's just that the man sorely needs to find his own way to bring them out. He has potential, he has the makings of an incredible man, but he's fumbling where he starts. Aerius is determined to help him along the way.

'''[[Caelia Isularie|<span style="color:#000000">Caelia Isularie</span>]]:''' In a word: rival. This girl is exceptional in the art of making Aerius' blood boil. She's confrontational in much the same way Aerius is, and that combined with being entirely unafraid of speaking her mind is a perfect recipe for seemingly unending, vicious arguments that will always leave the two of them exhausted and bitter. Aerius can't stand her, and it's almost gotten to the point where just the sound of her voice has conditioned him to lock up and throw on his figurative boxing gloves. She's poked and prodded and dug at him enough that she's begun to uncover a side of him that he sequesters away only for himself. She's one of the few people he currently knows who has seen some of what he has to hide. It scares him. He refuses to let her get any closer, but she's just so ''stubborn''.

'''[[Lily Dawnsworn|<span style="color:#000000">Lily Dawnsworn</span>]]:''' To put it simply, Lily is a mystery to Aerius. Even after the first time they'd spoken to each other, she had piqued his interest. She carries herself like a born leader, someone who is more than confident in their abilities and who has a firm grasp on who they are, who they aspire to be, and where they intend to go. All things Aerius can respect. He admires her, and although she tries to exhibit an air of calm, steadfast collectedness, Aerius knows he's seen a glint of playfulness in her eye. He's grown close to her, closer than he ever intended to, and it terrifies him more and more every time he looks at her that one day he's going to have to push her away to maintain that same distance he'd keep with anybody else. Any feelings he has toward her simply cannot be expressed; he is far too careful to let himself be that vulnerable again, and too selfish to let anyone else into his head. He knows she cares about him; he's seen it in the way she looks at him. That will be her undoing.

'''[[Trisselle Ganathain|<span style="color:#000000">Trisselle Ganathain</span>]]:''' An elezen girl Aerius had met almost through Garrett. She happened to be the unlucky woman Aerius immediately settled on when trying to help Garrett break out of his anti-social shell, and to Aerius' surprise, she's actually grown to befriend him since. She's immaculate, well-spoken, thoughtful, kind, and in Aerius' opinion, deeply conflicted about how she views herself and who she wants to be. She shares many of the introverted and shy traits of Garrett's, even if not for the same reasons, and he's consistently watched her struggle through many an internal conflict. Unfortunately, she's found a means of internal growth that he personally views as reckless and dangerous. She's made it clear that she's happier now than she ever has been, that she's closer to becoming the person she feels she should be, but he simply cannot shake the feeling that if she stays the course, she'll find that her choices have taken her down a far darker path than she could've realized. It isn't just that he's scared because he cares about her—he's scared because he's seen it before. And he's seen it on a much more intimate level than she realizes.

'''[[Risheid Millen|<span style="color:#000000">Risheid Millen</span>]]:''' He moved in and out of Aerius' life in the span of about a month, always speaking of himself in the third person and exhibiting an air of mystery in nearly every movement. He was polite, mindful, and intelligent, and although he never learned much about him, Aerius respected him. He was murdered by a crazed black mage at the tail end of a greater plot that had swept up Aerius, Risheid, Caelia, and several others. By the time Aerius had found him, he was too far-gone to resuscitate, and he slipped away before Aerius could even do anything to bring him peace in his last moments. To anyone else, he shouldn't feel any responsibility for what happened and what he could or couldn't do to stop it. But Aerius still regrets and blames himself for his inability to revive Risheid that day—yet another failure of his that he can never let himself forget.

'''[[Lyse Crofte|<span style="color:#000000">Lyse Crofte</span>]]:''' She's precisely the type of person Aerius always knew never to involve himself with again. Her unwavering confidence in every word she speaks and every movement she makes only serves to accentuate that. She's always thinking, always observing, and always drawing conclusions about what she sees. When she speaks her mind, she speaks firmly and sagely, armed to the teeth with well-prepared retorts and criticisms on the subject. Aerius figures she fancies herself as someone who will know you within seconds of meeting you, who can already tell you exactly where you've gone wrong and what to do to change that. But he is walking proof that that isn't always possible. She's been wrong about him on all accounts, and he's watched her grow more and more frustrated with his reticence any time he becomes the topic of conversation. She's turning more and more into the same person he's befriended countless times in the past: someone who genuinely means well, but cannot handle his inability to tell the truth. As such, her tendency to so quickly draw conclusions based on her own assumptions becomes the sole reason they may never find even ground; she simply will not allow him the time to explain himself before storming off and hiding away. She wants the truth and Aerius could never give it. If she knew why, maybe she wouldn't be so upset with him, but to him it's clearer every day that she isn't interested.

WORK IN PROGRESS
==Character==
===General===

Natalie Mcbeef is a friendly, yet battle hardened Miqo'te who resides in the City of Ul'dah. She grew up as an orphan on the streets of Ul'dah and does not know her birthday, tribe, parents or original name. Her rather unique name came from time spent in an orphanage, where herself and other children were simply assigned them randomly from a book. Because of this upbringing she is culturally distant from the people of her race, and has a dim outlook on most traditional Miqo'te customs. Despite her difficult childhood she has grown to be a proud daughter of Ul'dah, and loves the city dearly despite its faults. In her late teens she trained tirelessly to join the ranks of the Sultansworn, and although she often acts independently these days, she still takes her duties very seriously.

Recent evidence suggest that Natalie might have been lying about her past, as a female seeker has been seen prowling around the city, attempting to return Natalie to her tribe.

===Appearance===

Natalie is quite tall for a female Miqo'te, taller than many males, and standing eye to eye with some Hyur as well. She is very athletic, with good reflexes and endurance, but still her face is covered with scars from her many wounds. She takes little care in maintaining her appearance, and never wears cosmetics or attempts to trim her bushy eyebrows. Her hair is cropped close and short, in order to prevent an enemy from grabbing onto it. Her most striking feature are her piercing green eyes, which she often uses to stare down the enemies of Ul'dah. She eschews clothes and fashion, and can normally only be seen in her full combat armor, or a lighter set designed for patrolling the city.

===Behavior===

Natalie views herself first and foremost a protector of Ul'dah and it's citizens, and most of her behavior is based around that fact. When she is off duty she is friendly, playful, and warm, however under her warmth lies a core of steel, always ready to defend her city. She frequently questions those who she suspects to be involved in various misdeeds, mixing harsh questions with a friendly demeanor that often puts people off guard. She is often seen hanging around the Quicksand in her off duty hours, where she is quick to strike up a conversation with any that approach her.

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

Natalie can almost always be seen wielding a sword and shield, and she is out of her element when using other weapons. Her standard fighting style seems to be cautiously offensive, attempting to pressure her opponents and cause them to make mistakes. While she likes fighting, especially in the Arena, she does not like hurting or killing people, and makes every effort to resolve situations without using violence.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* Ale, Rum and Alcohol of any Sort
::* Meeting new people

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

Natalie has no idea of her original tribe or Family, she treats her fellow Sultansworn as family.

===Friends===

Until recently, Natalie's duties had left her little time to spend inside the city, however now that events with the Garleans have calmed down slightly, she has been able to develop a social life within the city. Some people she calls friends are:
(descriptions and links coming soon)

-'''[[Amaderuil Graham]]:''': One of the first people Natalie met after returning from the Garlean campaign, Amad helped the stiff Natalie relax and learn to have fun again.

- '''[[Kage Kiryuu]]:''': Natalie originally found this shy lalafell hiding behind a pillar in the quicksand. Since then she has supervised his training, his trials, and his duties as a Sultansworn. She considers him her greatest friend, and her staunchest ally.

-'''[[Marrow Ochi]]:''': While Natalie was originally dismissive of her Primal origins, the two have grown very close over time, and now Natalie views herself as something of a big sister.

-'''[[C'kayah Tia]]:''': Kayah was the original focus of Natalie's longest and most painful investigation, and throughout it personal feelings developed in between the two. Though since then, they have put each other through enough pain for 10 lifetimes, they only grow closer with time. Currently Natalie calls him Nuhn, and is assisting him in building an urban tribe in Ul'dah.

-'''[[Salem Nuhn]]''': Natalie often teased Salem for his near constant presence on the quicksand's railings, however as time went on they began to become fast friends. Natalie agrees with his self given title "Master of Relaxation. Though currently Salem has been busy with tribal matters, Natalie still considers him a close friend.

-'''[[User:S'rahvi Khai|S'rahvi Khai]]:''': A close female friend, Natalie and Rahvi have strong affection towards each other, and mutual affection toward C'kayah.

-'''[[Roen Deneith]]:''': Natalie's apprentice of sorts, Roen is calm, collected, and restrained, everything that Natalie is not. Roen often ends up as the voice of reason to Natalie's more reckless actions. Currently Roen is a full fledged sultansworn, and their relationship wavers between familial and professional.

===Enemies===

While Natalie has no specific enemies, she often finds herself at odds with various people during the course of her duties.

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* 'I heard there's been a sultansworn sniffing around our operation' - Shady Resident
::* 'Ugh.. I always see that one surrounded by men..." - Snooty Woman
::* 'If you ever need help in the city, she's the one you should ask' - Quicksand Patron

===Moderate Rumors===
::* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

::* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

===Rare Rumors===
::* "I've heard she lied about being an orphan"
::* "She's a sultansworn, but she's in a relationship with a crime lord... maybe she's just building a case"

===PC Rumors===
(Feel free to edit)
::* "Woe to any who fall under her suspicion. She will not relent until she has either proven you guilty or innocent. And she will use any means necessary to do it." - [[Roen Deneith]]
::* "Tails is probably the best of the sorry lot. She's actually fair, honest and actually interested in justice. But you didn't hear that from me!"~ [[Torken Queb]]
::* "She says otherwise, but she loves attention. You don't get into that position without a taste for it." - [[ Chokho Viqqoh | Uuuh, no one, never mind!]]
::* "She's managed to make a career out of being a walking disaster. Yet I love her and I can't get enough of her." - [[C'kayah Tia]]
::* "She is relentless in her interest in making one 'grow' in ways that someone would never consider. And yet, I would never want her to change since she has helped me, more than I could have ever asked." - [[Kage Kiryuu]]

==History/Timeline==

==History/Timeline==

Natalie was born 20 years before the battle of carteneau as N'natli M'kbeff, in a small miqo'te tribe to the east of Ul'dah. At the age of 16 she left her tribe, and traveled to Ul'dah, where she lived on the streets for a time. Eventually she before involved in the coliseum, changing her name to something flashier, "Natalie Mcbeef". She fought in the Coliseum for several year, eventually being picked up for her skill by the sultansworn, as they gathered strength to repel Bahamuts fall. Natalie played a minor role in the battle, and spent the next five years guarding Ul'dah and honing her skills. Five years later, she once again went into battle against the Garleans, this time on the front lines, taking part in most of the major conflicts of the war. After the war concluded, she returned to Ul'dah, where she primarily maintains security in the city, although she still ventures out to put down the occasional primal.

==Recent History==
(Events are not rigidly attached to a timeframe)

- Natalie returned to the city, and began investigating one C'kayah Tia, at the behest of the syndicate. Through him, she also cast her eyes on his friends and associates, such as Roen, Siha, Emelie, and Erik.

- After she and C'Kayah dealt with a complicated murder case together, Natalie's judgement with C'kahyah began to become impaired. Around this time Natalie met a woman named Marrow, who claimed to be the result of a Garlean experiment to create an artifical primal.

- Natalie's investigation of Erik's group began to intensify, as rumour's abounded that he was involved with necromancy and worse. Nat's suspicion inadvertently caused Roen to lose her job as a mercenary, forcing her into less than desirable work. Near this time, Marrow had a emotional breakdown, almost transforming physically into a full primal. Natalie was able to calm Marrow, averting the danger, and increasing the bond between them.

- After defending C'kayah from a vigilante lancer, and discovering they had reasonable evidence for attacking him, Natalie began to lose her suspicion of C'kayah's criminal activities. Erik disappeared as well, leaving Natalie suspicious of the causes. Against her better judgement she reinstated Roen as a sultansworn apprentice, hoping to help steer the woman in the right direction, although their initial relationship was strained.

- While investigating a series of strange murders in the city, Natalie came upon a Voidsent named Ieza, and a strange group called the Night Blades, that were hunting it. While initially suspicious of them, she became impressed with their resources, and agreed to aid them in stopping the beast.

- Natalie received strong evidence that Kayah was involved in a extremely serious slave trading case. Natalie arrested and began the process of torturing the information out of him, right before the evidence was found to be forged. This incident left Natalie's faith in her chosen profession very shaken.

- Natalie introduced Roen to the nightblades, and began meeting more members, while she prepared to deal with the voidsent threat. Through this process, her and Roen's relationship began to relax, as they started to understand one another.

- After a complicated incident, the crystal which helped stabilize marrow's form broke, forcing her to flee through the Coerthas highlands. Eventually Natalie managed to insert the crystal under Marrow's skin, hopefully preventing a similar incident in the future. Afterwards Marrow presented her with one of her scales, which Natalie began to wear over her heart.

- While drinking in the quicksand, C'kayah admitted his criminal activities. Natalie became angry and confused, and a passing Flame overheard their conversation. A series of misunderstandings left C'kayah dead and Natalie arrested. While Natalie managed to free herself and resurrect C'kayah with a phoenix down, she ended the situation significantly more cynical about the concept of justice in general

- Natalie helped build a case against C'kayah for tax evasion, believing she needed to instead focus her efforts on Renault, a newcomer to Ul'dah's underground power scene, and seemingly much more violent than C'kayah. However soon after she discovered the extent of C'kayah's criminal activities, although torn she went along with the syndicates decision to use his group as a stabilizing force in Ul'dah. N'kryah M'kbeff, a miqote from the wilderness was found in Ul'dah, seeking a N'tali. It was quickly found that Natalie's commonly known past was a lie, and she was actually of tribal origins.

-The "Quicksand Appreciation Society" was formed to gather the lovers of Ul'dahs finest establishment. Soon after, Natalie asked the artificial primal '''[[Marrow Ochi]]:''' to temper her, a process both thought would merely protect her from the power of other Primals. Instead Natalie quickly succumbed to the mental effects, becoming a shell of her former self, and it was only due to the resourcefulness, compassion, and quick thinking of her friends that allowed her to break the tempering and regain her former self.

<div style="text-align: center"><p>Born an only child in the year 1552 to a middle-class Ul'dahn family, Aerius lived a pleasant, if not dull, childhood. His parents may have struggled here and there to support themselves and their beloved son, but they managed given what they had. Their home was nothing spectacular, especially in the seedy trade capital of Eorzea, and Aerius only recalls being robbed a handful of times. He was envious of some of his more wealthy friends, but he was content with what he had. He likes to think his attitude as a child helped him to appreciate the little things in life. He spent the majority of his time growing up living in his imagination, fantasizing about amazing, faraway lands and the exciting prospect of danger. The thought of leading an epic life was his only aspiration, even if it simultaneously terrified his mother and father. He knew one day he'd conquer those distant mountains and overcome any challenge that came his way. He would become a hero.</p>
<div style="font-size:11.5px; color:#bfbfbf">This is what he will tell you.</div></div></div><br>

<div style="text-align: center"><p>Aerius is not the kind of guy you meet often in Eorzea. Where some might be calm, cool, and well-mannered, he is unpredictable, cocky, and sarcastic. He doesn't take many things seriously, he deeply enjoys pushing people's buttons, and he can't stand staying in one place for too long. He's encouraging of others, and he tries to help where he can. There are, of course, just as many low points as there are high points for him, however, and some days the things he's seen and done take their toll on him more visibly than other days. It's times like these that a different side of his—one that he tries his best to keep to himself—rears its ugly head. It's times like these that he can become snarky, short-tempered, bitter, and impatient. It's times where he's not afraid to tell you exactly what he thinks of you and lash out at anyone who has a problem with him. It's a part of him that's far more telling of what he's been through than the one he tries to outwardly present himself as. It's a part of him that he's deeply ashamed of. It's one of the many things he hides.</p>

He knows his way around hand-to-hand combat, at least enough to trounce your common beast, but when one considers how little he practices of other forms of combat, it's clear he isn't the strongest or the most skilled. Rather, he can be quickly and easily bested by the right opponent, beaten and broken with little resistance. But this isn't something he's shy about. While he may be incredibly prone to getting his ass handed to him, he's not the type to give up easily. His willpower is easily his finest trait, and no matter what pulls him down, he'll always find a way to get back up. More than anything, this is what he takes pride in.</p></div></div>

<div style="text-align: center"><p>Aerius, for better or worse, is an attractive personality. He can bring people together because they enjoy his company, because they have no better alternative, because they want to beat his ass into the ground—the point is that he brings people together. And due to this trait, he comes across quite a variety of different people, some leaving more of a mark on him than others, others probably turned off by his temperament, and none any the wiser of what he really thinks of them. He prefers it that way. These are people that, whether he'd ever openly admit it or not, currently hold some form of significance to him—either as friends, enemies, or something more.</p>

<div align=left>
'''[[Garrett Sancsaron|<span style="color:#000000">Garrett Sancsaron</span>]]:''' A young—or seemingly young—thaumaturge who aspires to be something greater. He's shy, introverted, skittish, coy, clumsy, friendly, responsible, loyal, and brave. He stutters almost any time he speaks and strives consistently to make himself a better person than he was the day before. He's prone to accidents, but he's committed to making things right. There are a great many traits of his Aerius knows he's hiding away somewhere, and they're remarkable and admirable in all their own rights, it's just that the man sorely needs to find his own way to bring them out. He has potential, he has the makings of an incredible man, but he's fumbling where he starts. Aerius is determined to help him along the way.

'''[[Caelia Isularie|<span style="color:#000000">Caelia Isularie</span>]]:''' In a word: rival. This girl is exceptional in the art of making Aerius' blood boil. She's confrontational in much the same way Aerius is, and that combined with being entirely unafraid of speaking her mind is a perfect recipe for seemingly unending, vicious arguments that will always leave the two of them exhausted and bitter. Aerius can't stand her, and it's almost gotten to the point where just the sound of her voice has conditioned him to lock up and throw on his figurative boxing gloves. She's poked and prodded and dug at him enough that she's begun to uncover a side of him that he sequesters away only for himself. She's one of the few people he currently knows who has seen some of what he has to hide. It scares him. He refuses to let her get any closer, but she's just so ''stubborn''.

'''[[Lily Dawnsworn|<span style="color:#000000">Lily Dawnsworn</span>]]:''' To put it simply, Lily is a mystery to Aerius. Even after the first time they'd spoken to each other, she had piqued his interest. She carries herself like a born leader, someone who is more than confident in their abilities and who has a firm grasp on who they are, who they aspire to be, and where they intend to go. All things Aerius can respect. He admires her, and although she tries to exhibit an air of calm, steadfast collectedness, Aerius knows he's seen a glint of playfulness in her eye. He's grown close to her, closer than he ever intended to, and it terrifies him more and more every time he looks at her that one day he's going to have to push her away to maintain that same distance he'd keep with anybody else. Any feelings he has toward her simply cannot be expressed; he is far too careful to let himself be that vulnerable again, and too selfish to let anyone else into his head. He knows she cares about him; he's seen it in the way she looks at him. That will be her undoing.

'''[[Trisselle Ganathain|<span style="color:#000000">Trisselle Ganathain</span>]]:''' An elezen girl Aerius had met almost through Garrett. She happened to be the unlucky woman Aerius immediately settled on when trying to help Garrett break out of his anti-social shell, and to Aerius' surprise, she's actually grown to befriend him since. She's immaculate, well-spoken, thoughtful, kind, and in Aerius' opinion, deeply conflicted about how she views herself and who she wants to be. She shares many of the introverted and shy traits of Garrett's, even if not for the same reasons, and he's consistently watched her struggle through many an internal conflict. Unfortunately, she's found a means of internal growth that he personally views as reckless and dangerous. She's made it clear that she's happier now than she ever has been, that she's closer to becoming the person she feels she should be, but he simply cannot shake the feeling that if she stays the course, she'll find that her choices have taken her down a far darker path than she could've realized. It isn't just that he's scared because he cares about her—he's scared because he's seen it before. And he's seen it on a much more intimate level than she realizes.

'''[[Risheid Millen|<span style="color:#000000">Risheid Millen</span>]]:''' He moved in and out of Aerius' life in the span of about a month, always speaking of himself in the third person and exhibiting an air of mystery in nearly every movement. He was polite, mindful, and intelligent, and although he never learned much about him, Aerius respected him. He was murdered by a crazed black mage at the tail end of a greater plot that had swept up Aerius, Risheid, Caelia, and several others. By the time Aerius had found him, he was too far-gone to resuscitate, and he slipped away before Aerius could even do anything to bring him peace in his last moments. To anyone else, he shouldn't feel any responsibility for what happened and what he could or couldn't do to stop it. But Aerius still regrets and blames himself for his inability to revive Risheid that day—yet another failure of his that he can never let himself forget.

'''[[Lyse Crofte|<span style="color:#000000">Lyse Crofte</span>]]:''' She's precisely the type of person Aerius always knew never to involve himself with again. Her unwavering confidence in every word she speaks and every movement she makes only serves to accentuate that. She's always thinking, always observing, and always drawing conclusions about what she sees. When she speaks her mind, she speaks firmly and sagely, armed to the teeth with well-prepared retorts and criticisms on the subject. Aerius figures she fancies herself as someone who will know you within seconds of meeting you, who can already tell you exactly where you've gone wrong and what to do to change that. But he is walking proof that that isn't always possible. She's been wrong about him on all accounts, and he's watched her grow more and more frustrated with his reticence any time he becomes the topic of conversation. She's turning more and more into the same person he's befriended countless times in the past: someone who genuinely means well, but cannot handle his inability to tell the truth. As such, her tendency to so quickly draw conclusions based on her own assumptions becomes the sole reason they may never find even ground; she simply will not allow him the time to explain himself before storming off and hiding away. She wants the truth and Aerius could never give it. If she knew why, maybe she wouldn't be so upset with him, but to him it's clearer every day that she isn't interested.

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.

: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.

<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font>

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Basic Info</div>===
<table style="position:center;" width="75%">

: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.

: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font>

: <font style="color:#00FFFF;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.

: <font style="color:#00FFFF;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.

: <font style="color:#00FFFF;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.

: <font style="color:#0087BD;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.

: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru. The redhead is quick to pass judgement on Alexaria's actions, but Alexaria does not hold any sort of grudge against Nazeru.

: <font style="color:#0087BD;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.

: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.

: <font style="color:#0087BD;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.

: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.

: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.

: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out".

: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]] - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him.

: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.

Torken Queb

2014-04-07T17:52:40Z

Natalie Mcbeef: /* PC Rumors */

''<b;font-size:20px>"FLEE ye fool!" ~Algar Warscream</b>''

Torken Queb's tale starts in the Gyr Abanian mountains, north of Ala Mhigo in the rusticly picturesque Silvermist Glen. After the Cataclysm and the battle of Carteneau most of the country side was devastated and for the next few years survival was his main activity. Recently the Silvermist Glen has been occupied by the Galean Empire for an advanced outpost. Torken's people were either slaughtered or enslaved in one night of fire and blood.

Torken managed to escape and flee into the highlands making it into the Black Shroud and eventually to Gridania. Building on his skills with his name sake the Queb, a highland boar spear, he joined the Adventurer's and the Lancer's guilds. Until recently he fought for Gridania in order to hone his skills and pay back those who had taken him in. Claiming he needed to earn money so he could reach the sea, Torken suddenly announced one day he was setting out for Thanalan and the notorious city of Ul'dah. Going to sea was something he has often stated was something he would like to do. Upon reaching Ul'dah he hired himself out as a enforcer and mercenary.

==History/Timeline==
===Entry 1: Ul'dah, Thanalan 23.1UM.1578.7UE===
[[File:Uldah.jpg|center|Ul'dah, Central Thanalan - Eozean Continent]]
Ul'dah. City of riches and hope for many. City of woe and ruin for most. The tempting apple that it presents to the world is in fact riddled with vile worms feasting just under it's skin. But this apple is rotten almost to it's core and to survive here takes guile, cunning and strength of will. I am Torken Queb, a highland refugee, just one of countless others drawn to the hope Ul'dah offers. I've found the adventurer's guild, the Quicksand, is well named. I have been in Ul'dah for several weeks and it looks like I'm stuck here. Although things are looking up. I've managed to get hired by a local business man who appreciates my skills. I need gil, a lot of gil and I need it soon. My next payment's due date is fast approaching and the jackels want their pound of flesh.

===Entry 2: Vesper Bay, Western Thanalan 18.2AM.1578.7UE===
The Sea. The big blue. I always thought the Spinner had this moment woven into the skein of my life. The crashing waves seemed to welcome me. The circling cry of the sea birds heralding my arrival and the sea breeze embraceing me like a long lost brother. I feel at home for the first time in a very long time. I knew it was time when my employer went missing and the rumors of his death surfaced. Even R'ikve has gone missing. Since I was alone with my enemies all around me it was time to leave. I finally managed it, but just by the skin of my ass.

I have yet to shake the sands of Thanalan from my boots however. I still have work there that needs doing, doubled now that the Maelstrom has learned of my connections through out Thanalan. Well, Limsa Lominsa is my heart's home now even though I reside in Ul'dah mostly. My ultimate goal is getting in reach and with my new allies and connections I actually feel like I am finally doing something to free my family. Castiell is ever on my mind. It was my responsibility to look after her. I failed when our village was taken, but I mean to make up for that! If I could just get word of how she is and where she is.

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

Marrow is the daughter of a Miqo'te woman known as Eve, and the Elder Primal known as Bahamut. Brought forth into the world by the Ascians to have a back-up humanoid Bahamut, she is known as the Bahamutkin. After the events of the End of the Era, she was brought on to end the second Era by her adoptive parents, the Ascians who brought her into the world. She, however, rejected their choice, and instead fled into the world, never looking back. Her Bahamut-bred powers of flame and destruction are sated only by the acquiring of her Crystal, which would appear to her at her Twentieth Moon Age. Until then she wanders as a loner, always fearful of coming into contact with others, due to her touch being near flammable.

===Appearance===

Marrow is short; shorter than most Miqo'te, easily only around four feet tall. Due to her increased aging of 3 and a half years until the Twentieth Moon, she has grown to roughly 17 years old within the span of the five year recovery from Bahamut. Her face is littered with various sealing marks, created by deep scars in the face tissue. She also has a large X crossing her small chest, from the front all the way meeting at her spine; this is another of the various sealing marks, except much, much larger.

===Behavior===

She is usually unwilling to talk to others; either by her trying to change the subject and flee, outright denying people talking to her, or just up and running away at the first sign of contact. However, this is due to her powers; she's absolutely terrified of hurting other people and instead finds a life of solitude the 'only way' to get by. She can be upbeat, and on many occasions almost eccentric, but this is due to her complete lack of social norms, and what comes off as awkward or just plain weird to others is just how Marrow thinks things are.
