<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #4e315c;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''P E R S O N A L I T Y'''</div></div>
<br>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Friendly and approachable to the point of appearing as a simpleton, and somewhat shy at times. He is pleasant and considerate for others, though reserved and mostly places his actual emotions in body language over words, as he's not good with expressing emotion verbally. Words are not his strong point, which is why he normally keeps silent. When he speaks he does so with a straightforward manner, which can come off as blunt, and sometimes needs to clarify on what he means. Though he prefers not to start conversations, he will always respond with gestures if he's interested.<br><br>Speaking shows more of his personality: softspoken, reserved. Though he's open-minded, his interest in other races may seem a little creepy since he's only ever known Midlander Hyur and by proxy Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te. He occasionally asks questions that seem prying; for this reason he doesn't like to ask people about themselves in fear that he sounds prejudiced.<br><br>Buried beneath his pleasant exterior is a veritable amount of negative emotion he has repressed from his upbringing, as he feels expressing such emotion is not 'proper' for a Pelderain. As a result he is a brutal fighter if allowed to let loose; he is capable of holding himself back in but opponents he has encountered generally deeply regret invoking his full strength. In addition, he seeks a good fight - he cares not for winning or losing, but the challenge and opportunity to constructively vent his repressed emotions.<br><br>Despite appearing like a simpleton, he is far from it - he reads body language and can be tactful to get what he wants, a result of his upbringing in a family known to mediate. He is not as good as his eldest brother when it comes to negotiation, but it's enough to get him by in the world.</div></div>
<br>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #4e315c;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''H I S T O R Y'''</div></div>
<br>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">He claims no mystery surrounds him, even for progeny of a vast Elezen family scattered about Eorzea. His branch of the Pelderains are straightforward - an upper class family in their surrounding areas, they are skilled in diplomacy and combat to deal with political matters abound, and train their children from young to do the same. Notability is gained by one's level of skill in such matters, and thus emphasis on good education and culture is a major impression. Rivaer was meant to do the same, but what set him apart from his siblings was that his personality seemed unsuited for mediation early on.<br><br>Not that he was treated any different for it. Their parents saw to it that he had a good education regardless, and when he chose pugilism as his first martial training no one batted an eyelid despite the distance from the Elezen and its origins. While no intellectual prodigy, he was a diligent student, even if it meant sometimes coming home with bloodied and grazed knuckles from training by himself.<br><br>Though he was no short of love and care from everyone in his family, Rivaer saw no place for him in the diplomacy-centred negotiations that his family were involved with. His parents suggested travelling into Eorzea proper: Silvaire was training to be a paladin, Mianne answering a plea for help for the Twelveswood and Domitien called upon to aid research in ancient Nym, Amdapor and Mhach war strategies. Rivaer took up the idea and headed for Ul'dah.<br><br>As he'll tell you, he's no special adventurer. Not even the scar on his cheek is "of any significance". But then was then and now is now - perhaps there will be more to his tale.</div></div>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #4e315c;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''FAMILY BACKGROUND'''</div></div>
<br>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">The Pelderains are a vast elezen family whose origins are so distant that all they can tell you is that they're from Eorzea like every other elezen. Like a great tree, different branches of Pelderains have spread out of the years into various fields of trade and craft, and even maybe a distant relative or two doing crime. Some of these branches have lost contact with the others, being further out in other continents or even at sea for years. Never assume a Pelderain would personally know another Pelderain or even acknowledge them unless they explicitly say so.<br><br>Rivaer's branch of family lives in a large town along the border between the Black Shroud and Coerthas. The town is large enough to have a council, and upon this council sits the head of the Pelderain family there. Which means that technically, Rivaer is something like an upper-class citizen, even if he doesn't act like it.<br><br>This branch of the Pelderains are usually well-educated (though not to the extent of their Ishgardian cousins), and enjoy a bit of culture such as music. As they attribute their own branch origins to spokesmen and bodyguards, they are also deeply passionate about speechcraft and martial skill alike to prevent conflict. They believe their first line of defence lies in the power of words, but should words fail and battle come to pass, there's no excuse to skimp on some fighting knowledge as well.<br><br>This branch of Pelderains believes in training their children when young in both diplomacy and battle, letting them pick a combat style at a young age without discrimination from known fields of battle, and then sending out their children to experience the world. What their children choose to do is up to them, and the parents usually rely on their offspring's sense of pride in upholding the family name. If not, then the family lets them go on their path; if they do so, they eventually return to the family to teach the next generation. As such, they tend to have at least 3-4 children per generation, sometimes going up to 5-6 to ensure that the family still has someone carrying it on regardless of what happens to others.<br><br>The family is known to be fairly caring and providing, if sometimes overbearing, and largely accepting of usually controversial matters such as interracial relationships. If anything, these Wildwood elezen actually have a pleasant, if slightly tense, relationship with the Duskwight living in their town, and believe in racial equality. Whether the Duskwight actually share their opinions is a different matter, but not one for this section.<br><br>Further elaboration can be gained from Rivaer discussing his family in-game.</div></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Cooking'''. Will go great lengths to get fresh ingredients for his dishes. He's no connoisseur, but will more than willingly cook for his friends and family, and his meals are always focused around having a good time.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Botany and gardening'''. Takes great delight in watching plants grow as he carefully nurtures and tends to them. A member of the Botanists' Guild in Gridania, he regularly goes out to inspect the flora of various areas of Eorzea and bring back samples for further examination or testing, or at least to sell the best ingredients.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Fashion'''. Rivaer genuinely enjoys looking good and has a surprisingly discerning eye for combinations of various outfits that accentuate his own aesthetics. He does not offer this sense to others, feeling that it's purely based on personal preferences, but for him? Looking good is part and parcel of being a good fighter. </div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''The sea'''. The sparkling blue waters and calming sound of the waves that greeted Rivaer when he arrived in Limsa enchanted the forest-dweller. He is generally found hanging around Limsa Lominsa and the Mist, looking out at the sea and wondering what lies beyond the lands he calls home. </div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Fishing'''. He will swear up and down by the Twelve that it's the most boring thing in the world to do - and he enjoys watching plants grow.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Overprotectiveness'''. Rivaer considers himself highly independent and dislikes when people try to protect him. He is more than capable of defending himself and values his freedom of choice. </div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''His speech impediment'''. It tires him to talk too much, he speaks slowly and whenever he speaks it sounds like a mess to him. He expends great effort to recall the appropriate words and thus forgets to phrase them, leading to misunderstandings. He also hates that he's possibly wasting someone's time because he can't speak fast enough.</div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Speech pauses'''. Tends to pause for a very long time thinking of the right words, and in fact pauses very often at odd parts while speaking. Often repeats words he's said just to remind himself that he said it.
</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Hearing'''. Rivaer tilts his head while listening to others, and to any abrupt sound.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Lack of questions for others'''. He personally feels asking about other people is 'too intrusive', but he ends up not asking anything at all while others ask of him. It makes him look disinterested in others.</div>

</div><br>Unconventional describes Rivaer's choice in combat - he walks the path of the Fist of Rhalgr. But it's a little more complicated than that.<br><br>The elezen isn't spiritual at all, and actually prefers a less destructive path than Rhalgr's followers practised. His training began from a senior pugilist who had moved on from the Coliseum of Ul'dah hired by his parents when he voiced his interest in the subject. Though his training was extensive, he was given a name to train under - Hamon Holyfist - when the pugilist deemed Rivaer skilled enough to move on. For this reason, Rivaer chose to travel to Ul'dah from his hometown when it was time to embark on his journey out.

<div style="float:right; margin: 50px 10px 0px 0px;">
[[File:Job mnkriv.png|100px|frameless]]</div><br><br>Rivaer trained well under Hamon, but was always driven to better himself - stronger, faster, more endurance, more precision. Hamon, sensing that the elezen would never be satisfied with being merely a pugilist, suggested to him the way of the monk during a friendly drinking session and Rivaer took him up on the deal. He met many who proclaimed themselves monks, but left him wanting with nothing but morsels of a greater feast. At the chance to travel to Gyr Abania after Ala Mhigo had been liberated, he leapt at it without hesitation and soon enough arrived at the Temple of the Fist.<br><br>By that time however, Rivaer discovered he already had a fighting style that suited his physique and preferred stances. Still, he took the inspiration from the Temple and began to study the Coeurlfist style, though his monk style is definitely still his own. In recognition for his studies despite not being Ala Mhigan, he was awarded the Ala Mhigan Striking clothes, and for his efforts in pacifism a pair of antiquated sudarshana chakras now protect his hands and arms.<br><br>Rivaer does not subscribe to the destruction of Rhalgr, preferring meditation over constantly fighting to manipulate his chakra. His dedication to it has allowed him to have all fourteen open already, though at any given time he will use a number lower than that since he considers all open fourteen to be overkill. Because of his long limbs and tendency to concentrate negative emotions through his precision, he is a fairly brutal fighter - and knows it, thusly imposing his own internal fetters to prevent himself from going too far.<br><br><center><b>His fighting style mixes Muay Thai and boxing; he focuses on precision striking and long reach over grappling.</b></center></div>

<div style="font-family:Georgia;"><center>''*yells incoherently*''</center><br>Rivaer will be upfront about this - he doesn't sing. He already has problems with words. He can hum but no one hums loudly during a battle.<br><br>Instead he prefers to inspire his companions in battle with music. As an elezen his education naturally included music as part of keeping the old tradition of being a bard. He's not so keen into making it a full job, but if he's required, then he'll play you the riffs of old songs he knows.<br><br><center>''Wanderer's Minuet: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQhbktFT7HI Sky Dance (Pyre OST)]<br>Mage's Ballad: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOqoKUhEjeo Knights of the Sea (Pyre OST)]<br>Army's Paeon: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LMZYnOml54 Thrash Pack (Pyre OST)]<br>Foe Requiem: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQhbktFT7HI&t=3s Path to Glory (Pyre OST)]</center></div>

<div style="font-family:Georgia;"><center>''I got this.''</center><br>Rivaer never considered the ways of the savage art of the greataxe until he expressed concern to Silvaire about all the repressed negative emotion he had that was causing him to lose focus and feel depressed. Silvaire gently suggested this, and not one to ignore his brother's advice Rivaer looked into it.<br><br>Tellingly, Rivaer doesn't show this. His hometown considered pugilism the art of a savage, so why bring up the art of a barbarian? But when his brother calls on his help to wreck havoc while he holds the lines, Rivaer is only too happy to acquiesce. There's something about being a warrior that makes him feel truly free.</div>

The principles practised by the Botanists' Guild were something he could get behind, and being a shepherd for the flora of Eorzea resonated with him. Since the Guild needed botanists to repair the damage from the Calamity, he was only too happy to oblige.<br><br>He has travelled through Coerthas, La Noscea, the Black Shroud and Thanalan to work on plants and harvest for selling, strictly abiding by Gridania's rules of conserving enough for the next generation to harvest. Due to the liberation of Ala Mhigo he has begun taking trips into Gyr Abania, although they have not been very many. He hopes one day to work on the flora of Othard when he has time.</div>

<br>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Friendly and approachable to the point of appearing as a simpleton, and somewhat shy at times. He is pleasant and considerate for others, though reserved and mostly places his actual emotions in body language over words, as he's not good with expressing emotion verbally. Words are not his strong point, which is why he normally keeps silent. When he speaks he does so with a straightforward manner, which can come off as blunt, and sometimes needs to clarify on what he means. Though he prefers not to start conversations, he will always respond with gestures if he's interested.<br><br>Speaking shows more of his personality: softspoken, reserved. Though he's open-minded, his interest in other races may seem a little creepy since he's only ever known Midlander Hyur and by proxy Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te. He occasionally asks questions that seem prying; for this reason he doesn't like to ask people about themselves in fear that he sounds prejudiced.<br><br>Buried beneath his pleasant exterior is a veritable amount of negative emotion he has repressed from his upbringing, as he feels expressing such emotion is not 'proper' for a Pelderain. As a result he is a brutal fighter if allowed to let loose; he is capable of holding himself back in but opponents he has encountered generally deeply regret invoking his full strength. In addition, he seeks a good fight - he cares not for winning or losing, but the challenge and opportunity to constructively vent his repressed emotions.<br><br>Despite appearing like a simpleton, he is far from it - he reads body language and can be tactful to get what he wants, a result of his upbringing in a family known to mediate. He is not as good as his eldest brother when it comes to negotiation, but it's enough to get him by in the world.</div></div>
<br>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">He claims no mystery surrounds him, even for progeny of a vast Elezen family scattered about Eorzea. His branch of the Pelderains are straightforward - an upper class family in their surrounding areas, they are skilled in diplomacy and combat to deal with political matters abound, and train their children from young to do the same. Notability is gained by one's level of skill in such matters, and thus emphasis on good education and culture is a major impression. Rivaer was meant to do the same, but what set him apart from his siblings was that his personality seemed unsuited for mediation early on.<br><br>Not that he was treated any different for it. Their parents saw to it that he had a good education regardless, and when he chose pugilism as his first martial training no one batted an eyelid despite the distance from the Elezen and its origins. While no intellectual prodigy, he was a diligent student, even if it meant sometimes coming home with bloodied and grazed knuckles from training by himself.<br><br>Though he was no short of love and care from everyone in his family, Rivaer saw no place for him in the diplomacy-centred negotiations that his family were involved with. His parents suggested travelling into Eorzea proper: Silvaire was training to be a paladin, Mianne answering a plea for help for the Twelveswood and Domitien called upon to aid research in ancient Nym, Amdapor and Mhach war strategies. Rivaer took up the idea and headed for Ul'dah.<br><br>As he'll tell you, he's no special adventurer. Not even the scar on his cheek is "of any significance". But then was then and now is now - perhaps there will be more to his tale.</div></div>

<br>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">The Pelderains are a vast elezen family whose origins are so distant that all they can tell you is that they're from Eorzea like every other elezen. Like a great tree, different branches of Pelderains have spread out of the years into various fields of trade and craft, and even maybe a distant relative or two doing crime. Some of these branches have lost contact with the others, being further out in other continents or even at sea for years. Never assume a Pelderain would personally know another Pelderain or even acknowledge them unless they explicitly say so.<br><br>Rivaer's branch of family lives in a large town along the border between the Black Shroud and Coerthas. The town is large enough to have a council, and upon this council sits the head of the Pelderain family there. Which means that technically, Rivaer is something like an upper-class citizen, even if he doesn't act like it.<br><br>This branch of the Pelderains are usually well-educated (though not to the extent of their Ishgardian cousins), and enjoy a bit of culture such as music. As they attribute their own branch origins to spokesmen and bodyguards, they are also deeply passionate about speechcraft and martial skill alike to prevent conflict. They believe their first line of defence lies in the power of words, but should words fail and battle come to pass, there's no excuse to skimp on some fighting knowledge as well.<br><br>This branch of Pelderains believes in training their children when young in both diplomacy and battle, letting them pick a combat style at a young age without discrimination from known fields of battle, and then sending out their children to experience the world. What their children choose to do is up to them, and the parents usually rely on their offspring's sense of pride in upholding the family name. If not, then the family lets them go on their path; if they do so, they eventually return to the family to teach the next generation. As such, they tend to have at least 3-4 children per generation, sometimes going up to 5-6 to ensure that the family still has someone carrying it on regardless of what happens to others.<br><br>The family is known to be fairly caring and providing, if sometimes overbearing, and largely accepting of usually controversial matters such as interracial relationships. If anything, these Wildwood elezen actually have a pleasant, if slightly tense, relationship with the Duskwight living in their town, and believe in racial equality. Whether the Duskwight actually share their opinions is a different matter, but not one for this section.<br><br>Further elaboration can be gained from Rivaer discussing his family in-game.</div></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Fashion'''. Rivaer genuinely enjoys looking good and has a surprisingly discerning eye for combinations of various outfits that accentuate his own aesthetics. He does not offer this sense to others, feeling that it's purely based on personal preferences, but for him? Looking good is part and parcel of being a good fighter. </div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''The sea'''. The sparkling blue waters and calming sound of the waves that greeted Rivaer when he arrived in Limsa enchanted the forest-dweller. He is generally found hanging around Limsa Lominsa and the Mist, looking out at the sea and wondering what lies beyond the lands he calls home. </div>

It tires him to talk too much, he speaks slowly and whenever he speaks it sounds like a mess to him.

</div><br>Unconventional describes Rivaer's choice in combat - he walks the path of the Fist of Rhalgr. But it's a little more complicated than that.<br><br>The elezen isn't spiritual at all, and actually prefers a less destructive path than Rhalgr's followers practised. His training began from a senior pugilist who had moved on from the Coliseum of Ul'dah hired by his parents when he voiced his interest in the subject. Though his training was extensive, he was given a name to train under - Hamon Holyfist - when the pugilist deemed Rivaer skilled enough to move on. For this reason, Rivaer chose to travel to Ul'dah from his hometown when it was time to embark on his journey out.

<div style="float:right; margin: 50px 10px 0px 0px;">
[[File:Job mnkriv.png|100px|frameless]]</div><br><br>Rivaer trained well under Hamon, but was always driven to better himself - stronger, faster, more endurance, more precision. Hamon, sensing that the elezen would never be satisfied with being merely a pugilist, suggested to him the way of the monk during a friendly drinking session and Rivaer took him up on the deal. He met many who proclaimed themselves monks, but left him wanting with nothing but morsels of a greater feast. At the chance to travel to Gyr Abania after Ala Mhigo had been liberated, he leapt at it without hesitation and soon enough arrived at the Temple of the Fist.<br><br>By that time however, Rivaer discovered he already had a fighting style that suited his physique and preferred stances. Still, he took the inspiration from the Temple and began to study the Coeurlfist style, though his monk style is definitely still his own. In recognition for his studies despite not being Ala Mhigan, he was awarded the Ala Mhigan Striking clothes, and for his efforts in pacifism a pair of antiquated sudarshana chakras now protect his hands and arms.<br><br>Rivaer does not subscribe to the destruction of Rhalgr, preferring meditation over constantly fighting to manipulate his chakra. His dedication to it has allowed him to have all fourteen open already, though at any given time he will use a number lower than that since he considers all open fourteen to be overkill. Because of his long limbs and tendency to concentrate negative emotions through his precision, he is a fairly brutal fighter - and knows it, thusly imposing his own internal fetters to prevent himself from going too far.<br><br><center><b>His fighting style mixes Muay Thai and boxing; he focuses on precision striking and long reach over grappling.</b></center></div>

He's not so keen into making it a full job, but if he's required, then he'll play you the riffs of old songs he knows.<br><br><center>''Wanderer's Minuet: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQhbktFT7HI Sky Dance (Pyre OST)]<br>Mage's Ballad: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOqoKUhEjeo Knights of the Sea (Pyre OST)]<br>Army's Paeon: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LMZYnOml54 Thrash Pack (Pyre OST)]<br>Foe Requiem: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQhbktFT7HI&t=3s Path to Glory (Pyre OST)]</center></div>

<div style="font-family:Georgia;">Botany was something he picked up to fill in the times he wasn't hired, but he fell in love with it shortly after.
The principles practised by the Botanists' Guild were something he could get behind, and being a shepherd for the flora of Eorzea resonated with him. Since the Guild needed botanists to repair the damage from the Calamity, he was only too happy to oblige.<br><br>He has travelled through Coerthas, La Noscea, the Black Shroud and Thanalan to work on plants and harvest for selling, strictly abiding by Gridania's rules of conserving enough for the next generation to harvest. Due to the liberation of Ala Mhigo he has begun taking trips into Gyr Abania, although they have not been very many. He hopes one day to work on the flora of Othard when he has time.</div>

<br>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Friendly and approachable to the point of appearing as a simpleton, and somewhat shy at times. He is pleasant and considerate for others, though reserved and mostly places his actual emotions in body language over words, as he's not good with expressing emotion verbally. Words are not his strong point, which is why he normally keeps silent. When he speaks he does so with a straightforward manner, which can come off as blunt, and sometimes needs to clarify on what he means. Though he prefers not to start conversations, he will always respond with gestures if he's interested.<br><br>Speaking shows more of his personality: softspoken, reserved. Though he's open-minded, his interest in other races may seem a little creepy since he's only ever known Midlander Hyur and by proxy Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te. He occasionally asks questions that seem prying; for this reason he doesn't like to ask people about themselves in fear that he sounds prejudiced.<br><br>Buried beneath his pleasant exterior is a veritable amount of negative emotion he has repressed from his upbringing, as he feels expressing such emotion is not 'proper' for a Pelderain. As a result he is a brutal fighter if allowed to let loose; he is capable of holding himself back in but opponents he has encountered generally deeply regret invoking his full strength. In addition, he seeks a good fight - he cares not for winning or losing, but the challenge and opportunity to constructively vent his repressed emotions.<br><br>Despite appearing like a simpleton, he is far from it - he reads body language and can be tactful to get what he wants, a result of his upbringing in a family known to mediate. He is not as good as his eldest brother when it comes to negotiation, but it's enough to get him by in the world.</div></div>
<br>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #4e315c;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''H I S T O R Y'''</div></div>
<br>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">He claims no mystery surrounds him, even for progeny of a vast Elezen family scattered about Eorzea. His branch of the Pelderains are straightforward - an upper class family in their surrounding areas, they are skilled in diplomacy and combat to deal with political matters abound, and train their children from young to do the same. Notability is gained by one's level of skill in such matters, and thus emphasis on good education and culture is a major impression. Rivaer was meant to do the same, but what set him apart from his siblings was that his personality seemed unsuited for mediation early on.<br><br>Not that he was treated any different for it. Their parents saw to it that he had a good education regardless, and when he chose pugilism as his first martial training no one batted an eyelid despite the distance from the Elezen and its origins. While no intellectual prodigy, he was a diligent student, even if it meant sometimes coming home with bloodied and grazed knuckles from training by himself.<br><br>Though he was no short of love and care from everyone in his family, Rivaer saw no place for him in the diplomacy-centred negotiations that his family were involved with. His parents suggested travelling into Eorzea proper: Silvaire was training to be a paladin, Mianne answering a plea for help for the Twelveswood and Domitien called upon to aid research in ancient Nym, Amdapor and Mhach war strategies. Rivaer took up the idea and headed for Ul'dah.<br><br>As he'll tell you, he's no special adventurer. Not even the scar on his cheek is "of any significance". But then was then and now is now - perhaps there will be more to his tale.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">The Pelderains are a vast elezen family whose origins are so distant that all they can tell you is that they're from Eorzea like every other elezen. Like a great tree, different branches of Pelderains have spread out of the years into various fields of trade and craft, and even maybe a distant relative or two doing crime. Some of these branches have lost contact with the others, being further out in other continents or even at sea for years. Never assume a Pelderain would personally know another Pelderain or even acknowledge them unless they explicitly say so.<br><br>Rivaer's branch of family lives in a large town along the border between the Black Shroud and Coerthas. The town is large enough to have a council, and upon this council sits the head of the Pelderain family there. Which means that technically, Rivaer is something like an upper-class citizen, even if he doesn't act like it.<br><br>This branch of the Pelderains are usually well-educated (though not to the extent of their Ishgardian cousins), and enjoy a bit of culture such as music. As they attribute their own branch origins to spokesmen and bodyguards, they are also deeply passionate about speechcraft and martial skill alike to prevent conflict. They believe their first line of defence lies in the power of words, but should words fail and battle come to pass, there's no excuse to skimp on some fighting knowledge as well.<br><br>This branch of Pelderains believes in training their children when young in both diplomacy and battle, letting them pick a combat style at a young age without discrimination from known fields of battle, and then sending out their children to experience the world. What their children choose to do is up to them, and the parents usually rely on their offspring's sense of pride in upholding the family name. If not, then the family lets them go on their path; if they do so, they eventually return to the family to teach the next generation. As such, they tend to have at least 3-4 children per generation, sometimes going up to 5-6 to ensure that the family still has someone carrying it on regardless of what happens to others.<br><br>The family is known to be fairly caring and providing, if sometimes overbearing, and largely accepting of usually controversial matters such as interracial relationships. If anything, these Wildwood elezen actually have a pleasant, if slightly tense, relationship with the Duskwight living in their town, and believe in racial equality. Whether the Duskwight actually share their opinions is a different matter, but not one for this section.<br><br>Further elaboration can be gained from Rivaer discussing his family in-game.</div></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Cooking'''. Will go great lengths to get fresh ingredients for his dishes. He's no connoisseur, but will more than willingly cook for his friends and family, and his meals are always focused around having a good time.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Botany and gardening'''. Takes great delight in watching plants grow as he carefully nurtures and tends to them. A member of the Botanists' Guild in Gridania, he regularly goes out to inspect the flora of various areas of Eorzea and bring back samples for further examination or testing, or at least to sell the best ingredients.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Fashion'''. Rivaer genuinely enjoys looking good and has a surprisingly discerning eye for combinations of various outfits that accentuate his own aesthetics. He does not offer this sense to others, feeling that it's purely based on personal preferences, but for him? Looking good is part and parcel of being a good fighter. </div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''The sea'''. The sparkling blue waters and calming sound of the waves that greeted Rivaer when he arrived in Limsa enchanted the forest-dweller. He is generally found hanging around Limsa Lominsa and the Mist, looking out at the sea and wondering what lies beyond the lands he calls home. </div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Overprotectiveness'''. Rivaer considers himself highly independent and dislikes when people try to protect him. He is more than capable of defending himself and values his freedom of choice. </div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''His speech impediment'''. It tires him to talk too much, he speaks slowly and whenever he speaks it sounds like a mess to him. He expends great effort to recall the appropriate words and thus forgets to phrase them, leading to misunderstandings. He also hates that he's possibly wasting someone's time because he can't speak fast enough.</div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Speech pauses'''. Tends to pause for a very long time thinking of the right words, and in fact pauses very often at odd parts while speaking. Often repeats words he's said just to remind himself that he said it.
</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Hearing'''. Rivaer tilts his head while listening to others, and to any abrupt sound.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Lack of questions for others'''. He personally feels asking about other people is 'too intrusive', but he ends up not asking anything at all while others ask of him. It makes him look disinterested in others.</div>

<div style="font-family:Georgia;"><center>''May you walk in crimson.''</center><br>Unconventional describes Rivaer's choice in combat - he walks the path of the Fist of Rhalgr. But it's a little more complicated than that.<br><br>The elezen isn't spiritual at all, and actually prefers a less destructive path than Rhalgr's followers practised. His training began from a senior pugilist who had moved on from the Coliseum of Ul'dah hired by his parents when he voiced his interest in the subject. Though his training was extensive, he was given a name to train under - Hamon Holyfist - when the pugilist deemed Rivaer skilled enough to move on. For this reason, Rivaer chose to travel to Ul'dah from his hometown when it was time to embark on his journey out.<br><br>Rivaer trained well under Hamon, but was always driven to better himself - stronger, faster, more endurance, more precision. Hamon, sensing that the elezen would never be satisfied with being merely a pugilist, suggested to him the way of the monk during a friendly drinking session and Rivaer took him up on the deal. He met many who proclaimed themselves monks, but left him wanting with nothing but morsels of a greater feast. At the chance to travel to Gyr Abania after Ala Mhigo had been liberated, he leapt at it without hesitation and soon enough arrived at the Temple of the Fist.

<div style="float:right; margin: 50px 10px 0px 0px;">
[[File:Job mnkriv.png|150px|frameless]]</div><br><br>By that time however, Rivaer discovered he already had a fighting style that suited his physique and preferred stances. Still, he took the inspiration from the Temple and began to study the Coeurlfist style, though his monk style is definitely still his own. In recognition for his studies despite not being Ala Mhigan, he was awarded the Ala Mhigan Striking clothes, and for his efforts in pacifism a pair of antiquated sudarshana chakras now protect his hands and arms.<br><br>Rivaer does not subscribe to the destruction of Rhalgr, preferring meditation over constantly fighting to manipulate his chakra. His dedication to it has allowed him to have all fourteen open already, though at any given time he will use a number lower than that since he considers all open fourteen to be overkill. Because of his long limbs and tendency to concentrate negative emotions through his precision, he is a fairly brutal fighter - and knows it, thusly imposing his own internal fetters to prevent himself from going too far.<br><br><center><b>His fighting style mixes Muay Thai and boxing; he focuses on precision striking and long reach over grappling.</b></center></div>

<br>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Friendly and approachable to the point of appearing as a simpleton, and somewhat shy at times. He is pleasant and considerate for others, though reserved and mostly places his actual emotions in body language over words, as he's not good with expressing emotion verbally. Words are not his strong point, which is why he normally keeps silent. When he speaks he does so with a straightforward manner, which can come off as blunt, and sometimes needs to clarify on what he means. Though he prefers not to start conversations, he will always respond with gestures if he's interested.<br><br>Speaking shows more of his personality: softspoken, reserved. Though he's open-minded, his interest in other races may seem a little creepy since he's only ever known Midlander Hyur and by proxy Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te. He occasionally asks questions that seem prying; for this reason he doesn't like to ask people about themselves in fear that he sounds prejudiced.<br><br>Buried beneath his pleasant exterior is a veritable amount of negative emotion he has repressed from his upbringing, as he feels expressing such emotion is not 'proper' for a Pelderain. As a result he is a brutal fighter if allowed to let loose; he is capable of holding himself back in but opponents he has encountered generally deeply regret invoking his full strength. In addition, he seeks a good fight - he cares not for winning or losing, but the challenge and opportunity to constructively vent his repressed emotions.<br><br>Despite appearing like a simpleton, he is far from it - he reads body language and can be tactful to get what he wants, a result of his upbringing in a family known to mediate. He is not as good as his eldest brother when it comes to negotiation, but it's enough to get him by in the world.</div></div>
<br>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #4e315c;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''H I S T O R Y'''</div></div>
<br>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">He claims no mystery surrounds him, even for progeny of a vast Elezen family scattered about Eorzea. His branch of the Pelderains are straightforward - an upper class family in their surrounding areas, they are skilled in diplomacy and combat to deal with political matters abound, and train their children from young to do the same. Notability is gained by one's level of skill in such matters, and thus emphasis on good education and culture is a major impression. Rivaer was meant to do the same, but what set him apart from his siblings was that his personality seemed unsuited for mediation early on.<br><br>Not that he was treated any different for it. Their parents saw to it that he had a good education regardless, and when he chose pugilism as his first martial training no one batted an eyelid despite the distance from the Elezen and its origins. While no intellectual prodigy, he was a diligent student, even if it meant sometimes coming home with bloodied and grazed knuckles from training by himself.<br><br>Though he was no short of love and care from everyone in his family, Rivaer saw no place for him in the diplomacy-centred negotiations that his family were involved with. His parents suggested travelling into Eorzea proper: Silvaire was training to be a paladin, Mianne answering a plea for help for the Twelveswood and Domitien called upon to aid research in ancient Nym, Amdapor and Mhach war strategies. Rivaer took up the idea and headed for Ul'dah.<br><br>As he'll tell you, he's no special adventurer. Not even the scar on his cheek is "of any significance". But then was then and now is now - perhaps there will be more to his tale.</div></div>
<br>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #4e315c;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''FAMILY BACKGROUND'''</div></div>
<br>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">The Pelderains are a vast elezen family whose origins are so distant that all they can tell you is that they're from Eorzea like every other elezen. Like a great tree, different branches of Pelderains have spread out of the years into various fields of trade and craft, and even maybe a distant relative or two doing crime. Some of these branches have lost contact with the others, being further out in other continents or even at sea for years. Never assume a Pelderain would personally know another Pelderain or even acknowledge them unless they explicitly say so.<br><br>Rivaer's branch of family lives in a large town along the border between the Black Shroud and Coerthas. The town is large enough to have a council, and upon this council sits the head of the Pelderain family there. Which means that technically, Rivaer is something like an upper-class citizen, even if he doesn't act like it.<br><br>This branch of the Pelderains are usually well-educated (though not to the extent of their Ishgardian cousins), and enjoy a bit of culture such as music. As they attribute their own branch origins to spokesmen and bodyguards, they are also deeply passionate about speechcraft and martial skill alike to prevent conflict. They believe their first line of defence lies in the power of words, but should words fail and battle come to pass, there's no excuse to skimp on some fighting knowledge as well.<br><br>This branch of Pelderains believes in training their children when young in both diplomacy and battle, letting them pick a combat style at a young age without discrimination from known fields of battle, and then sending out their children to experience the world. What their children choose to do is up to them, and the parents usually rely on their offspring's sense of pride in upholding the family name. If not, then the family lets them go on their path; if they do so, they eventually return to the family to teach the next generation. As such, they tend to have at least 3-4 children per generation, sometimes going up to 5-6 to ensure that the family still has someone carrying it on regardless of what happens to others.<br><br>The family is known to be fairly caring and providing, if sometimes overbearing, and largely accepting of usually controversial matters such as interracial relationships. If anything, these Wildwood elezen actually have a pleasant, if slightly tense, relationship with the Duskwight living in their town, and believe in racial equality. Whether the Duskwight actually share their opinions is a different matter, but not one for this section.<br><br>Further elaboration can be gained from Rivaer discussing his family in-game.</div></div>

A member of the Botanists' Guild in Gridania, he regularly goes out to inspect the flora of various areas of Eorzea and bring back samples for further examination or testing, or at least to sell the best ingredients.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Fashion'''. Rivaer genuinely enjoys looking good and has a surprisingly discerning eye for combinations of various outfits that accentuate his own aesthetics. He does not offer this sense to others, feeling that it's purely based on personal preferences, but for him? Looking good is part and parcel of being a good fighter. </div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''The sea'''. The sparkling blue waters and calming sound of the waves that greeted Rivaer when he arrived in Limsa enchanted the forest-dweller. He is generally found hanging around Limsa Lominsa and the Mist, looking out at the sea and wondering what lies beyond the lands he calls home. </div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''His speech impediment'''. It tires him to talk too much, he speaks slowly and whenever he speaks it sounds like a mess to him. He expends great effort to recall the appropriate words and thus forgets to phrase them, leading to misunderstandings. He also hates that he's possibly wasting someone's time because he can't speak fast enough.</div>

</div>
<div style="font-family:Georgia;"><center>''May you walk in crimson.''</center><br>Unconventional describes Rivaer's choice in combat - he walks the path of the Fist of Rhalgr. But it's a little more complicated than that.<br><br>The elezen isn't spiritual at all, and actually prefers a less destructive path than Rhalgr's followers practised. His training began from a senior pugilist who had moved on from the Coliseum of Ul'dah hired by his parents when he voiced his interest in the subject. Though his training was extensive, he was given a name to train under - Hamon Holyfist - when the pugilist deemed Rivaer skilled enough to move on. For this reason, Rivaer chose to travel to Ul'dah from his hometown when it was time to embark on his journey out.<br><br>Rivaer trained well under Hamon, but was always driven to better himself - stronger, faster, more endurance, more precision. Hamon, sensing that the elezen would never be satisfied with being merely a pugilist, suggested to him the way of the monk during a friendly drinking session and Rivaer took him up on the deal. He met many who proclaimed themselves monks, but left him wanting with nothing but morsels of a greater feast. At the chance to travel to Gyr Abania after Ala Mhigo had been liberated, he leapt at it without hesitation and soon enough arrived at the Temple of the Fist.

<div style="float:right; margin: 50px 10px 0px 0px;">
[[File:File:Job mnkriv.png|150px|frameless]]</div><br><br>By that time however, Rivaer discovered he already had a fighting style that suited his physique and preferred stances. Still, he took the inspiration from the Temple and began to study the Coeurlfist style, though his monk style is definitely still his own. In recognition for his studies despite not being Ala Mhigan, he was awarded the Ala Mhigan Striking clothes, and for his efforts in pacifism a pair of antiquated sudarshana chakras now protect his hands and arms.<br><br>Rivaer does not subscribe to the destruction of Rhalgr, preferring meditation over constantly fighting to manipulate his chakra. His dedication to it has allowed him to have all fourteen open already, though at any given time he will use a number lower than that since he considers all open fourteen to be overkill. Because of his long limbs and tendency to concentrate negative emotions through his precision, he is a fairly brutal fighter - and knows it, thusly imposing his own internal fetters to prevent himself from going too far.<br><br><center><b>His fighting style mixes Muay Thai and boxing; he focuses on precision striking and long reach over grappling.</b></center></div>

<div style="font-family:Georgia;"><center>''*yells incoherently*''</center><br>Rivaer will be upfront about this - he doesn't sing. He already has problems with words. He can hum but no one hums loudly during a battle.<br><br>Instead he prefers to inspire his companions in battle with music. As an elezen his education naturally included music as part of keeping the old tradition of being a bard. He's not so keen into making it a full job, but if he's required, then he'll play you the riffs of old songs he knows.<br><br><center>''Wanderer's Minuet: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQhbktFT7HI Sky Dance (Pyre OST)]<br>Mage's Ballad: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOqoKUhEjeo Knights of the Sea (Pyre OST)]<br>Army's Paeon: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LMZYnOml54 Thrash Pack (Pyre OST)]<br>Foe Requiem: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQhbktFT7HI&t=3s Path to Glory (Pyre OST)]</center></div>

<div style="font-family:Georgia;"><center>''I got this.''</center><br>Rivaer never considered the ways of the savage art of the greataxe until he expressed concern to Silvaire about all the repressed negative emotion he had that was causing him to lose focus and feel depressed. Silvaire gently suggested this, and not one to ignore his brother's advice Rivaer looked into it.<br><br>Tellingly, Rivaer doesn't show this. His hometown considered pugilism the art of a savage, so why bring up the art of a barbarian? But when his brother calls on his help to wreck havoc while he holds the lines, Rivaer is only too happy to acquiesce. There's something about being a warrior that makes him feel truly free.</div>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #4e315c;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''P E R S O N A L I T Y'''</div></div>
<br>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Friendly and approachable to the point of appearing as a simpleton, and somewhat shy at times. He is pleasant and considerate for others, though reserved and mostly places his actual emotions in body language over words, as he's not good with expressing emotion verbally. Words are not his strong point, which is why he normally keeps silent. When he speaks he does so with a straightforward manner, which can come off as blunt, and sometimes needs to clarify on what he means. Though he prefers not to start conversations, he will always respond with gestures if he's interested.<br><br>Speaking shows more of his personality: softspoken, reserved. Though he's open-minded, his interest in other races may seem a little creepy since he's only ever known Midlander Hyur and by proxy Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te. He occasionally asks questions that seem prying; for this reason he doesn't like to ask people about themselves in fear that he sounds prejudiced.<br><br>Buried beneath his pleasant exterior is a veritable amount of negative emotion he has repressed from his upbringing, as he feels expressing such emotion is not 'proper' for a Pelderain. As a result he is a brutal fighter if allowed to let loose; he is capable of holding himself back in but opponents he has encountered generally deeply regret invoking his full strength. In addition, he seeks a good fight - he cares not for winning or losing, but the challenge and opportunity to constructively vent his repressed emotions.<br><br>Despite appearing like a simpleton, he is far from it - he reads body language and can be tactful to get what he wants, a result of his upbringing in a family known to mediate. He is not as good as his eldest brother when it comes to negotiation, but it's enough to get him by in the world.</div></div>
<br>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #4e315c;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''H I S T O R Y'''</div></div>
<br>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">He claims no mystery surrounds him, even for progeny of a vast Elezen family scattered about Eorzea. His branch of the Pelderains are straightforward - an upper class family in their surrounding areas, they are skilled in diplomacy and combat to deal with political matters abound, and train their children from young to do the same. Notability is gained by one's level of skill in such matters, and thus emphasis on good education and culture is a major impression. Rivaer was meant to do the same, but what set him apart from his siblings was that his personality seemed unsuited for mediation early on.<br><br>Not that he was treated any different for it. Their parents saw to it that he had a good education regardless, and when he chose pugilism as his first martial training no one batted an eyelid despite the distance from the Elezen and its origins. While no intellectual prodigy, he was a diligent student, even if it meant sometimes coming home with bloodied and grazed knuckles from training by himself.<br><br>Though he was no short of love and care from everyone in his family, Rivaer saw no place for him in the diplomacy-centred negotiations that his family were involved with. His parents suggested travelling into Eorzea proper: Silvaire was training to be a paladin, Mianne answering a plea for help for the Twelveswood and Domitien called upon to aid research in ancient Nym, Amdapor and Mhach war strategies. Rivaer took up the idea and headed for Ul'dah.<br><br>As he'll tell you, he's no special adventurer. Not even the scar on his cheek is "of any significance". But then was then and now is now - perhaps there will be more to his tale.</div></div>
<br>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #4e315c;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''FAMILY BACKGROUND'''</div></div>
<br>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">The Pelderains are a vast elezen family whose origins are so distant that all they can tell you is that they're from Eorzea like every other elezen. Like a great tree, different branches of Pelderains have spread out of the years into various fields of trade and craft, and even maybe a distant relative or two doing crime. Some of these branches have lost contact with the others, being further out in other continents or even at sea for years. Never assume a Pelderain would personally know another Pelderain or even acknowledge them unless they explicitly say so.<br><br>Rivaer's branch of family lives in a large town along the border between the Black Shroud and Coerthas. The town is large enough to have a council, and upon this council sits the head of the Pelderain family there. Which means that technically, Rivaer is something like an upper-class citizen, even if he doesn't act like it.<br><br>This branch of the Pelderains are usually well-educated (though not to the extent of their Ishgardian cousins), and enjoy a bit of culture such as music. As they attribute their own branch origins to spokesmen and bodyguards, they are also deeply passionate about speechcraft and martial skill alike to prevent conflict. They believe their first line of defence lies in the power of words, but should words fail and battle come to pass, there's no excuse to skimp on some fighting knowledge as well.<br><br>This branch of Pelderains believes in training their children when young in both diplomacy and battle, letting them pick a combat style at a young age without discrimination from known fields of battle, and then sending out their children to experience the world. What their children choose to do is up to them, and the parents usually rely on their offspring's sense of pride in upholding the family name. If not, then the family lets them go on their path; if they do so, they eventually return to the family to teach the next generation. As such, they tend to have at least 3-4 children per generation, sometimes going up to 5-6 to ensure that the family still has someone carrying it on regardless of what happens to others.<br><br>The family is known to be fairly caring and providing, if sometimes overbearing, and largely accepting of usually controversial matters such as interracial relationships. If anything, these Wildwood elezen actually have a pleasant, if slightly tense, relationship with the Duskwight living in their town, and believe in racial equality. Whether the Duskwight actually share their opinions is a different matter, but not one for this section.<br><br>Further elaboration can be gained from Rivaer discussing his family in-game.</div></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Cooking'''. Will go great lengths to get fresh ingredients for his dishes. He's no connoisseur, but will more than willingly cook for his friends and family, and his meals are always focused around having a good time.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Botany and gardening'''. Takes great delight in watching plants grow as he carefully nurtures and tends to them. A member of the Botanists' Guild in Gridania, he regularly goes out to inspect the flora of various areas of Eorzea and bring back samples for further examination or testing, or at least to sell the best ingredients.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Fashion'''. Rivaer genuinely enjoys looking good and has a surprisingly discerning eye for combinations of various outfits that accentuate his own aesthetics. He does not offer this sense to others, feeling that it's purely based on personal preferences, but for him? Looking good is part and parcel of being a good fighter. </div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''The sea'''. The sparkling blue waters and calming sound of the waves that greeted Rivaer when he arrived in Limsa enchanted the forest-dweller. He is generally found hanging around Limsa Lominsa and the Mist, looking out at the sea and wondering what lies beyond the lands he calls home. </div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Overprotectiveness'''. Rivaer considers himself highly independent and dislikes when people try to protect him. He is more than capable of defending himself and values his freedom of choice. </div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''His speech impediment'''. It tires him to talk too much, he speaks slowly and whenever he speaks it sounds like a mess to him. He expends great effort to recall the appropriate words and thus forgets to phrase them, leading to misunderstandings. He also hates that he's possibly wasting someone's time because he can't speak fast enough.</div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Speech pauses'''. Tends to pause for a very long time thinking of the right words, and in fact pauses very often at odd parts while speaking. Often repeats words he's said just to remind himself that he said it.
</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Hearing'''. Rivaer tilts his head while listening to others, and to any abrupt sound.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Lack of questions for others'''. He personally feels asking about other people is 'too intrusive', but he ends up not asking anything at all while others ask of him. It makes him look disinterested in others.</div>

<div style="font-family:Georgia;"><center>''May you walk in crimson.''</center><br>Unconventional describes Rivaer's choice in combat - he walks the path of the Fist of Rhalgr. But it's a little more complicated than that.<br><br>The elezen isn't spiritual at all, and actually prefers a less destructive path than Rhalgr's followers practised. His training began from a senior pugilist who had moved on from the Coliseum of Ul'dah hired by his parents when he voiced his interest in the subject. Though his training was extensive, he was given a name to train under - Hamon Holyfist - when the pugilist deemed Rivaer skilled enough to move on. For this reason, Rivaer chose to travel to Ul'dah from his hometown when it was time to embark on his journey out.<br><br>Rivaer trained well under Hamon, but was always driven to better himself - stronger, faster, more endurance, more precision. Hamon, sensing that the elezen would never be satisfied with being merely a pugilist, suggested to him the way of the monk during a friendly drinking session and Rivaer took him up on the deal. He met many who proclaimed themselves monks, but left him wanting with nothing but morsels of a greater feast. At the chance to travel to Gyr Abania after Ala Mhigo had been liberated, he leapt at it without hesitation and soon enough arrived at the Temple of the Fist.

<div style="float:right; margin: 50px 10px 0px 0px;">
[[File:File:Job mnkriv.png|150px|frameless]]</div><br><br>By that time however, Rivaer discovered he already had a fighting style that suited his physique and preferred stances. Still, he took the inspiration from the Temple and began to study the Coeurlfist style, though his monk style is definitely still his own. In recognition for his studies despite not being Ala Mhigan, he was awarded the Ala Mhigan Striking clothes, and for his efforts in pacifism a pair of antiquated sudarshana chakras now protect his hands and arms.<br><br>Rivaer does not subscribe to the destruction of Rhalgr, preferring meditation over constantly fighting to manipulate his chakra. His dedication to it has allowed him to have all fourteen open already, though at any given time he will use a number lower than that since he considers all open fourteen to be overkill. Because of his long limbs and tendency to concentrate negative emotions through his precision, he is a fairly brutal fighter - and knows it, thusly imposing his own internal fetters to prevent himself from going too far.<br><br><center><b>His fighting style mixes Muay Thai and boxing; he focuses on precision striking and long reach over grappling.</b></center></div>

<div style="font-family:Georgia;"><center>''*yells incoherently*''</center><br>Rivaer will be upfront about this - he doesn't sing. He already has problems with words. He can hum but no one hums loudly during a battle.<br><br>Instead he prefers to inspire his companions in battle with music. As an elezen his education naturally included music as part of keeping the old tradition of being a bard. He's not so keen into making it a full job, but if he's required, then he'll play you the riffs of old songs he knows.<br><br><center>''Wanderer's Minuet: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQhbktFT7HI Sky Dance (Pyre OST)]<br>Mage's Ballad: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOqoKUhEjeo Knights of the Sea (Pyre OST)]<br>Army's Paeon: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LMZYnOml54 Thrash Pack (Pyre OST)]<br>Foe Requiem: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQhbktFT7HI&t=3s Path to Glory (Pyre OST)]</center></div>

<div style="font-family:Georgia;"><center>''I got this.''</center><br>Rivaer never considered the ways of the savage art of the greataxe until he expressed concern to Silvaire about all the repressed negative emotion he had that was causing him to lose focus and feel depressed. Silvaire gently suggested this, and not one to ignore his brother's advice Rivaer looked into it.<br><br>Tellingly, Rivaer doesn't show this. His hometown considered pugilism the art of a savage, so why bring up the art of a barbarian? But when his brother calls on his help to wreck havoc while he holds the lines, Rivaer is only too happy to acquiesce. There's something about being a warrior that makes him feel truly free.</div>

<div style="font-family:Georgia;">Botany was something he picked up to fill in the times he wasn't hired, but he fell in love with it shortly after.
The principles practised by the Botanists' Guild were something he could get behind, and being a shepherd for the flora of Eorzea resonated with him. Since the Guild needed botanists to repair the damage from the Calamity, he was only too happy to oblige.<br><br>He has travelled through Coerthas, La Noscea, the Black Shroud and Thanalan to work on plants and harvest for selling, strictly abiding by Gridania's rules of conserving enough for the next generation to harvest. Due to the liberation of Ala Mhigo he has begun taking trips into Gyr Abania, although they have not been very many. He hopes one day to work on the flora of Othard when he has time.</div>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #4e315c;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''P E R S O N A L I T Y'''</div></div>
<br>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Rivaer does not carry himself with the prideful air that most Elezen exude; rather he seems more friendly and approachable, and actually somewhat shy at times. He is big on helping people, though he has been burned in the past by being so helpful he regrets later on when others turn to him with responsibilities and requests he doesn't want to fulfil, but is reluctant to say no to. He is pleasant and considerate for others, though reserved and mostly places his actual emotions in body language over words, as he's not good with expressing emotion verbally. Words are not his forte, which is why he normally keeps silent; when he speaks, whatever he says can come off as blunt and unfeeling just as much as it can be honest and sincere because he doesn't add anything extra to whatever he says. He also prefers not to start conversations, but he will always respond in kind with gestures if he's interested.<br><br>When he actually does speak, more of his personality shows itself: he is softspoken, reserved, gentle. He tries to keep an open mind, but sometimes fails to stop his personal prejudices from getting into the way. Usually this is followed by frantic apologies. He's not usually aware of what he does and takes a long time to absorb a lesson, not exactly being the sharpest arrow in the quiver, but he does fly straight and true.<br><br>Regardless of his pleasant and friendly outlook, he has a tendency to hide his emotions for another reason - when he does express his emotions, they are at an intensity worth an abrupt and startling outburst that some might find frightening. His various fighting styles allow him to be more constructive on venting; it also makes him a fierce fighter who does not hold back. Sometimes fighting is the only way he relieves stress that way, even if it means bruised knuckles, calloused hands and bleeding fingers by the end of it. He also has a high pain tolerance, which ends up in scars when he forgets wounds are even there.</div></div>
<br>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #4e315c;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''H I S T O R Y'''</div></div>
<br>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">He claims no mystery surrounds him, even for progeny of a vast Elezen family scattered about Eorzea. His branch of the Pelderains are straightforward - an upper class family in their surrounding areas, they are skilled in diplomacy and combat to deal with political matters abound, and train their children from young to do the same. Notability is gained by one's level of skill in such matters, and thus emphasis on good education and culture is a major impression. Rivaer was meant to do the same, but what set him apart from his siblings was that his personality seemed unsuited for diplomacy and tact early on.<br><br>Not that he was treated any different for it. Their parents saw to it that he had a good education regardless, and when he chose pugilism as his first martial training no one batted an eyelid despite the distance from the Elezen and its origins. While no intellectual prodigy, he was a diligent student, even if it meant sometimes coming home with bloodied and grazed knuckles from training by himself.<br><br>Though he was no short of love and care from everyone in his family, Rivaer saw no place for him in the diplomacy-centred negotiations that his family were involved with. His parents suggested travelling into Eorzea proper: Silvaire was training to be a paladin, Mianne answering a plea for help for the Twelveswood and Domitien called upon to aid research in ancient Nym, Amdapor and Mhach war strategies. Rivaer took up the idea and headed for Ul'dah.<br><br>As he'll tell you, he's no special adventurer. Not even the scar on his cheek is "of any significance". But then was then and now is now - perhaps there will be more to his tale.</div></div>
<br>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #4e315c;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''FAMILY BACKGROUND'''</div></div>
<br>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">The Pelderains are a vast elezen family whose origins are so distant that all they can tell you is that they're from Eorzea like every other elezen. Like a great tree, different branches of Pelderains have spread out of the years into various fields of trade and craft, and even maybe a distant relative or two doing crime. Some of these branches have lost contact with the others, being further out in other continents or even at sea for years. Never assume a Pelderain would personally know another Pelderain or even acknowledge them unless they explicitly say so.<br><br>Rivaer's branch of family lives in a large town along the border between the Black Shroud and Coerthas. The town is large enough to have a council, and upon this council sits the head of the Pelderain family there. Which means that technically, Rivaer is something like an upper-class citizen, even if he doesn't act like it.<br><br>This branch of the Pelderains are usually well-educated (though not to the extent of their Ishgardian cousins), and enjoy a bit of culture such as music. As they attribute their own branch origins to spokesmen and bodyguards, they are also deeply passionate about speechcraft and martial skill alike to prevent conflict. They believe their first line of defence lies in the power of words, but should words fail and battle come to pass, there's no excuse to skimp on some fighting knowledge as well.<br><br>This branch of Pelderains believes in training their children when young in both diplomacy and battle, letting them pick a combat style at a young age without discrimination from known fields of battle, and then sending out their children to experience the world. What their children choose to do is up to them, and the parents usually rely on their offspring's sense of pride in upholding the family name. If not, then the family lets them go on their path; if they do so, they eventually return to the family to teach the next generation. As such, they tend to have at least 3-4 children per generation, sometimes going up to 5-6 to ensure that the family still has someone carrying it on regardless of what happens to others.<br><br>The family is known to be fairly caring and providing, if sometimes overbearing, and largely accepting of usually controversial matters such as racial relationships. If anything, these Wildwood elezen actually have a pleasant, if slightly tense, relationship with the Duskwight living in their town, and believe in racial equality. Whether the Duskwight actually share their opinions is a different matter, but not one for this section.<br><br>Further elaboration can be gained from Rivaer discussing his family in-game.</div></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Cooking'''. Will go great lengths to get fresh ingredients for his dishes. He is no experimenter or pioneer - he cooks to eat, not create a culinary masterpiece - and considers himself positively an amateur, but when he gets the chance he'll be making himself and friends dinner.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Botany and gardening'''. Takes great delight in watching plants grow as he carefully nurtures and tends to them. He may even be a green thumb to some extent, but because he lives in an apartment his gardening choices are limited. He grows his own flowers and feels so much potential is lost when people opt for pre-filled vases.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Fashion'''. Rivaer genuinely enjoys looking good and has a surprisingly discerning eye for combinations of various outfits that accentuate his own aesthetics. He does not offer this sense to others, feeling that it's purely based on personal preferences, but for him? Looking good is part and parcel of being a good fighter. </div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''The sea'''. The sparkling blue waters and calming sound of the waves that greeted Rivaer when he arrived in Limsa enchanted the forest-dweller. He is generally found hanging around Limsa Lominsa and the Mist, looking out at the sea and wondering what lies beyond the lands he calls home. </div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Fishing'''. He will swear up and down by the Twelve that it's the most boring thing in the world to do - and he enjoys watching plants grow.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Failure'''. He hates when he feels he's failed something he swore to do, even if it doesn't affect others. When he sets out to do something, he tries to do it well. If he fails, he will internally berate himself for it. </div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Dishonesty'''. Look, do whatever you choose to do and make your choices, but don't lie about it. It just means you pretend to care, when you don't. Rivaer dislikes people who pretend so. </div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Preening'''. If he seems to be making himself look good - sweeping hair out of his eyes, straightening his clothes, being prideful of his appearance - it's subconscious and he's not aware that he's doing it. It comes from his upbringing, where his mother would always tell him to straighten out his clothes and make himself presentable until he started doing it pre-emptively, and now it's permanent.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Hearing'''. Rivaer tilts his head towards new sounds. It's not like he needs to, because of his large ears, but he automatically always turns his head slightly to any new sound.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#7e7b79;" size="3">■</font> '''Neck cricking'''. Only executed when a Lalafell is coming up to talk to him/when he's going to talk to a Lalafell. It's a learned thing.</div>
