Folken Grymtooth is a [[:Category:Highlander Hyur|Highlander Hyur]] born to a small and secluded Hold within the great mountains of Gyr Abania, to the north east of Ala Mhigo. Forced to flee his home not long after the great Ala Mhigo fell to the Garlean Empire's ever expanding presence. A brash and often cruel individual who lives for survival in a world still rather foreign to him.
===<div style="padding: 10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:15px;color:#5F5F5F;">Basic Info</div>===
Folken Grymtooth is a middle aged Highlander who was raised in a hidden mountain hold comprised of ascetic hermits. He is the last of a few surviving members of his home, yet has all but thrown away the culture and rituals he was taught as a child. Instead holding onto only the martial side of his teachings and instead pursuing more selfish interests. At first glance he appears to be an average highlander though upon closer inspection has many unique physical traits.

Born simply as Folken to the male dominated Hold he was from. He would not earn the surname Grymtooth until much later. Given to him by a band of mercenaries he would travel with. Literally meaning Cruel Tooth, he was dubbed such for his often vicious tactics in combat and his characteristic filed teeth.

Folken has a pale skintone and hereditary periorbital dark circles resulting in a darkened coloration around his eyes. He is on the taller side for a Highlander and sports a top of the line phsyique from a lifetime of training and exercise. He has deep crimson colored eyes and blonde hair, which he dyes a dark teal color with the use of an salve he makes himself. He has a variety of cultural body modifications. His teeth are filed to points, his tongue is split halfway down the middle, and he sports a facial tattoo along with various piercings along his ears.
====<div style="padding:0px 15px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;text-decoration:none;border-bottom:1px dotted;">Characteristics</div>====
'''Mannerisms:''' Folken can be brash and rude at the best of times. He has rather poor etiquette and resists most attempts in teaching him in such ways. He can be cruel in his behavior, especially when it comes to perceived weakness

'''Voice:''' His voice is moderately deep with a slight gravelly tone however the way he speaks is often smooth in nature, not one to be loud and boisterous.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Personality</div>===

Folken is someone who isn't afraid to speak his mind, but understands that tact is important, even if he doesn't follow such tact. He has no problems spewing insults and being brutally honest and has been known to do so just to pick a fight. He loves few things more than open combat, diving into trouble for his own twisted pleasure. This leads to him having a combative personality that often leaves him with few acquaintances.

When it comes to fighting he has sadomasochistic tendencies, loving to hurt and be hurt in return, sometimes to possibly disturbing levels. Regardless of this he seems at least mostly stable on the surface when not in the midst of battle. He is often prone to taking trophies from slain or defeated opponents. He is quick to laugh, but often quicker to anger.

Folken Grymtooth is a [[:Category:Highlander Hyur|Highlander Hyur]] born to a small and secluded Hold within the great mountains of Gyr Abania, to the north east of Ala Mhigo. Forced to flee his home not long after the great Ala Mhigo fell to the Garlean Empire's ever expanding presence.
===<div style="padding: 10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:15px;color:#5F5F5F;">Basic Info</div>===
Folken Grymtooth is a middle aged Highlander who was raised in a hidden mountain hold comprised of ascetic hermits. He is the last of a few surviving members of his home, yet has all but thrown away the culture and rituals he was taught as a child. Instead holding onto only the martial side of his teachings and instead pursuing more selfish interests. At first glance he appears to be an average highlander though upon closer inspection has many unique physical traits.

</tr></table>
Born simply as Folken to the male dominated Hold he was from. He would not earn the surname Grymtooth until much later. Given to him by a band of mercenaries he would travel with. Literally meaning Cruel Tooth, he was dubbed such for his often vicious tactics in combat and his characteristic filed teeth.

Folken has a pale skintone and hereditary periorbital dark circles resulting in a darkened coloration around his eyes. He is on the taller side for a Highlander and sports a top of the line phsyique from a lifetime of training and exercise. He has deep crimson colored eyes and brown hair, which he dyes a dark teal color with the use of an salve he makes himself. He has a variety of cultural body modifications. His teeth are filed to points, his tongue is split halfway down the middle, and he sports a facial tattoo along with various piercings along his ears.
====<div style="padding:0px 15px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;text-decoration:none;border-bottom:1px dotted;">Characteristics</div>====
'''Mannerisms:''' Folken can be brash and rude at the best of times. He has rather poor etiquette and resists most attempts in teaching him in such ways. He can be cruel in his behavior, especially when it comes to perceived weakness

'''Voice:''' His voice is moderately deep with a slight gravelly tone however the way he speaks is often smooth in nature, not one to be loud and boisterous.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Personality</div>===

Folken is someone who isn't afraid to speak his mind, but understands that tact is important, even if he doesn't follow such tact. He has no problems spewing insults and being brutally honest and has been known to do so just to pick a fight. He loves few things more than open combat, diving into trouble for his own twisted pleasure. This leads to him having a combative personality that often leaves him with few acquaintances.

When it comes to fighting he has sadomasochistic tendencies, loving to hurt and be hurt in return, sometimes to possibly disturbing levels. Regardless of this he seems at least mostly stable on the surface when not in the midst of battle. He is often prone to taking trophies from slain or defeated opponents. He is quick to laugh, but often quicker to anger.

Folken's youth was spent training in his mountain home in all manner of things, primarily martial prowess and religion. After having to flee his home he would take up a variety of things to get by, making his way through the rest of the region as he travelled.

==== Abilities ====

[[File:Ship_smoke.png|300px|right|(Art by Shawnzy)]]
*Marauder (Warrior) – Generally uses a great axe for the most part. Combines surprisingly strong force with a dextrous flair that many years of experience provide. Regardless he is relatively new to using the weapon, and his fighting style hints that he was trained in the use of some other weapon type. Still, he has developed his own uses for the weapon, using his smaller size to his advantage as he often goes for vulnerabilities on larger opponents that they're not used to protecting. Often hamstringing, kneecapping, and going for the often unprotected femoral artery.

*Firearms - Often imploys a handy pistol in his fights, having become a decent shot over time. He lacks the ability to make long distance precision shots however, having poorer depth perception due to his one eyed state.

*Pugilism - Learned to fight with his bare hands during his past, lacks any type of trained discipline or technique, essentially a brawler. Useful for the all the bar fights he seems to find himself in, oblivious that he's often the source of the brawl, instead of just a participant.

*Armorer - Once tired of fighting, he retired to take up a humbling craft. Making fine suits of armor he became quite talented in the trade. Enjoys the honest work, but dabbles little in the skill in current times, though he had a knack for understanding rare and difficult techniques in smelting and crafting.

*The Echo - Like many adventurers he is touched by the Echo, though he pays it very little attention and often thinks it's merely his own age or sanity getting the best of him. He usually shrugs it off as nothing more but tricks of the mind or the result of dubious wine or herb.

Less Useful:

*Used to be handy with a bow, but now lacks a once keen depth perception as well as being blind on one side.<br>
*He has very little self control over his own words, and only slightly better self control for his actions. Meaning, his tongue often creates debts that violence wants to collect.<br>

==== Appearance ====

[[File:Ship shirt2.png|250px|left|]]'''Height:''' Modest height by lalafell standards. 2 fulms 10 ilms

'''Weight:''' Bulky 90 ponz.

'''Body:''' Thick and muscular by lalafell standards.

'''Hair:''' Long and gray, often either unkempt or lazily pulled back into a tail.

'''Eyes:''' Pale faded blue

'''Skin:''' Fair

'''Scars/Markings:''' (pre-ARR) Speckled with a variety of scars, from battle injuries to punishments dealt during his times in captivity, most notably around his neck, wrists, ankles, and back. Has a brand in the middle of his shoulders on his back and a black tattoo on his left forearm.

'''Clothes:''' Often wears clothes that combine comfort, mobility, and defense. He travels often and doesn't like to be encumbered by his equipment. However, he has donned full sets of heavy armor if the need arised. Favors leathers and armor with furs.

'''Voice:''' His voice is on a bit of a deeper spectrum than the average lalafell, and he sports and odd off-accent in his speech.

==== Personality ====

'''Behaviors:'''<br>
:Loud, obnoxious, annoying. These are ample words used often to describe him. A fiery sort who pays little attention to the words he speaks, let alone his actions. Essentially a free spirit, prone to hedonistic tendencies that usually get him into all kinds of trouble. A hard-headed and stubborn lalafell who is quick to laugh, and often times quicker to anger. He generally takes everything at face value, and doesn't appreciate anyone beating around the bush with anything. To him, his time is valuable, and so any waste of it is an easy way to get on his bad side.

:Brash and straightforward to a fault he is prone to rubbing others the wrong way though it's usually not his intent. A man prone to pranks and practical jokes, falling back on humor at almost all times. His spry and youthful demeanor belie his age and make him appear much younger than he is. Despite this, he often complains of "getting too old for this" and has been known to let slip hints towards his true age accidentally.

:Outside of his boisterous personality, and prankster ways, he can often be rather lecherous and often leaves a trail of bad reputation for his sometimes perverted ways. He prefers to live life in the moment, and thus rarely regrets his actions and never doubts his intentions. He feels life is too short and that as a free individual he should make the most of every situation, for his own benefit that is.

'''Morals:'''<br>
:He doesn't have many morals, often willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead in life. He values his own freedom and rarely goes out of his way to defend the freedoms of others.
:Alignment: [http://www.easydamus.com/chaoticneutral.html Chaotic Neutral]

'''Mind:'''<br>
:He is clever and creative, though certainly not scholastically intelligent. He often acts the fool however to better let others underestimate his own abilities.

'''Quirks:'''<br>
:He does not like being in a place where he doesn't know at least 3 exits from and will go out of his way to find said exits before making himself comfortable.
:Is surprisingly comfortable aboard sea vessels despite the confinement. Has a distaste for airships and rarely chooses to travel that way.
:Is illiterate in terms of the language of Eorzea. He understands and speaks it fluently, but cannot read nor write it.

=== History ===

----
[[File:Ship_slave.png|400px|right|(Art by Shawnzy/Shippuu)]]
:Born not of the shores of Eorzea but of a continent far from those lands. He lived there for quite some time, going through his own set of struggles, rising to prominence during a warring state at a young age. After senseless violence he grew tired of the killing and fighting, retiring while he was easily in his young prime still. He took up a humble crafting trade, making suits of armor to protect rather than to kill. However the humble life was not for him as he had his life and luxuries stripped away from him. He plummeted to a fate perhaps worse then death, held captive, a prisoner and slave. <br>

:For many years he was kept enslaved. Force to work and sometimes fight for the amusement of his captors. He rebelled and attempted escape on numerous occaisons that all generally failed and resulted in further punishment. Year after year his mental state degraded, warping and twisting just to survive the next day. When he had seemingly reached his limit an opportunity arose. He took the chance, despite the fact that his selfish action of escape would have a price to it, a price taken from others who shared the same predicament he did. But he finally had his freedom, though he was a different person by that point. No longer the proud young fighter, or the humbled craftsman. He had become something selfish.<br>

:And so he ran, leaving that land to search for a new beginning. A place to start fresh, free from his past. He boarded a sea faring vessel heading for distant lands and exploration, not caring where it took him, as long as it was far from where he was.<br>

::After a great journey he arrived upon a foreign land known as Eorzea...

=== The New Land ===

:He wandered this new land a bit, shedding his old name and taking in their customs and their language, though he was saddened to see the land so filled with strife, much like his own. He vaguely settled in amongst the most admiring of the city-states he encountered there, the harbor city of Limsa Lominsa, enjoying it's detached prescence as well as the option to flee via boat if he needed to run once again. He lived for himself from this point on, after many long years of enslavement he made the most of his freedom. He indulged in pleasures of all variety, from money, to wine and women. He did what was necessary to fuel these activities, from whoring out his skills to lying and stealing to get what he wanted.

:He mellowed out after years of indulgence, yet still maintained his own pursuits, rarely getting involved with the machinations of others. He'd fight anyone if the money was good or they had done something to slight him. He grew a distaste towards the empire, though their sacking of Ala Mhigo meant little to a foreigner such as him, their actions reminded him of those who had kept him imprisoned. And so he often found employ in attempts to battle the Empire. For a price of course.

RP style (light, casual, moderate, or heavy)?

:Moderate/Heavy preferred. I wander from IC to OOC, it all depends on what I'm currently doing in game. Though I'm usually always open for RP if I'm online.

Are you willing to RP romance in game? How far are you willing to go?

:Certainly, though being a lalafell it's generally an unlikely thing to happen. Also, this character is not particularly one who would "settle down" with anyone. Any kind of romance would likely be nothing more than a fling at best, unless the individual was something exceptional.

What kind of non-romantic RP relationships are you seeking? (family ties, etc)

:Suckers to be exploited are always welcome. Friendships and employers are also welcomed. A rival (Or rivals) is highly saught for currently. Enemies also always welcomed to an extent.

How far from the actual lore are you willing to stray?

:I tend to take the lore very seriously, and prefer to follow it as close as I can. (Ironic since I picked an origin outside of current known lore, mostly due in part to leave it open to possibilities from future expansions, I'd rather not corner myself with a highly defined backstory in case something gets added into the game that I really like.)

==== Personality ====

'''Behaviors:'''<br>
:Loud, obnoxious, annoying. These are ample words used often to describe him. A fiery sort who pays little attention to the words he speaks, let alone his actions. Essentially a free spirit, prone to hedonistic tendencies that usually get him into all kinds of trouble. A hard-headed and stubborn lalafell who is quick to laugh, and often times quicker to anger. He generally takes everything at face value, and doesn't appreciate anyone beating around the bush with anything. To him, his time is valuable, and so any waste of it is an easy way to get on his bad side.

:Brash and straightforward to a fault he is prone to rubbing others the wrong way though it's usually not his intent. A man prone to pranks and practical jokes, falling back on humor at almost all times. His spry and youthful demeanor belie his age and make him appear much younger than he is. Despite this, he often complains of "getting too old for this" and has been known to let slip hints towards his true age accidentally.

:Outside of his boisterous personality, and prankster ways, he can often be rather lecherous and often leaves a trail of bad reputation for his sometimes perverted ways. He prefers to live life in the moment, and thus rarely regrets his actions and never doubts his intentions. He feels life is too short and that as a free individual he should make the most of every situation, for his own benefit that is.

'''Morals:'''<br>
:He doesn't have many morals, often willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead in life. He values his own freedom and rarely goes out of his way to defend the freedoms of others.
:Alignment: [http://www.easydamus.com/chaoticneutral.html Chaotic Neutral]

'''Mind:'''<br>
:He is clever and creative, though certainly not scholastically intelligent. He often acts the fool however to better let others underestimate his own abilities.

'''Quirks:'''<br>
:He does not like being in a place where he doesn't know at least 3 exits from and will go out of his way to find said exits before making himself comfortable.
:Is surprisingly comfortable aboard sea vessels despite the confinement. Has a distaste for airships and rarely chooses to travel that way.
:Is illiterate in terms of the language of Eorzea. He understands and speaks it fluently, but cannot read nor write it.

=== History ===

----
[[File:Ship_slave.png|400px|right|(Art by Shawnzy/Shippuu)]]
:Born not of the shores of Eorzea but of a continent far from those lands. He lived there for quite some time, going through his own set of struggles, rising to prominence during a warring state at a young age. After senseless violence he grew tired of the killing and fighting, retiring while he was easily in his young prime still. He took up a humble crafting trade, making suits of armor to protect rather than to kill. However the humble life was not for him as he had his life and luxuries stripped away from him. He plummeted to a fate perhaps worse then death, held captive, a prisoner and slave. <br>

:For many years he was kept enslaved. Force to work and sometimes fight for the amusement of his captors. He rebelled and attempted escape on numerous occaisons that all generally failed and resulted in further punishment. Year after year his mental state degraded, warping and twisting just to survive the next day. When he had seemingly reached his limit an opportunity arose. He took the chance, despite the fact that his selfish action of escape would have a price to it, a price taken from others who shared the same predicament he did. But he finally had his freedom, though he was a different person by that point. No longer the proud young fighter, or the humbled craftsman. He had become something selfish.<br>

:And so he ran, leaving that land to search for a new beginning. A place to start fresh, free from his past. He boarded a sea faring vessel heading for distant lands and exploration, not caring where it took him, as long as it was far from where he was.<br>

::After a great journey he arrived upon a foreign land known as Eorzea...

=== The New Land ===

:He wandered this new land a bit, shedding his old name and taking in their customs and their language, though he was saddened to see the land so filled with strife, much like his own. He vaguely settled in amongst the most admiring of the city-states he encountered there, the harbor city of Limsa Lominsa, enjoying it's detached prescence as well as the option to flee via boat if he needed to run once again. He lived for himself from this point on, after many long years of enslavement he made the most of his freedom. He indulged in pleasures of all variety, from money, to wine and women. He did what was necessary to fuel these activities, from whoring out his skills to lying and stealing to get what he wanted.

:He mellowed out after years of indulgence, yet still maintained his own pursuits, rarely getting involved with the machinations of others. He'd fight anyone if the money was good or they had done something to slight him. He grew a distaste towards the empire, though their sacking of Ala Mhigo meant little to a foreigner such as him, their actions reminded him of those who had kept him imprisoned. And so he often found employ in attempts to battle the Empire. For a price of course.

RP style (light, casual, moderate, or heavy)?

:Moderate/Heavy preferred. I wander from IC to OOC, it all depends on what I'm currently doing in game. Though I'm usually always open for RP if I'm online.

Are you willing to RP romance in game? How far are you willing to go?

:Certainly, though being a lalafell it's generally an unlikely thing to happen. Also, this character is not particularly one who would "settle down" with anyone. Any kind of romance would likely be nothing more than a fling at best, unless the individual was something exceptional.

What kind of non-romantic RP relationships are you seeking? (family ties, etc)

:Suckers to be exploited are always welcome. Friendships and employers are also welcomed. A rival (Or rivals) is highly saught for currently. Enemies also always welcomed to an extent.

How far from the actual lore are you willing to stray?

:I tend to take the lore very seriously, and prefer to follow it as close as I can. (Ironic since I picked an origin outside of current known lore, mostly due in part to leave it open to possibilities from future expansions, I'd rather not corner myself with a highly defined backstory in case something gets added into the game that I really like.)
