<center>"Name's Willam Hicke, folks call me 'Will'."</center>

==Character==
===General===
===Appearance===
Willam’s form has been shaped and hardened by a hard life. While he keeps himself clean and reasonably well-shaven, Willam tends to be covered in the dirt and grime of a long day’s work. His eyes are the eyes of a man much older than him, tired yet warm. His hair is kept short, cut close enough to the scalp to be almost invisible, with carefully-shaven patterns of completely bald skin here and there.

Willam’s outfit is perfect for the labor the man often finds himself doing to scrape by in Ul’dah and the surrounding areas. Hard boots, thick gloves, a bandanna either tied around his head or used as a makeshift scarf to keep the sand away. As his work is most often done under the scorching sun, he prefers to remain shirtless, revealing several scars on his chest, back, and forearms.

===Personality===
Willam’s friendly enough, but doesn’t go out his way to be social. He offers waves to those he knows and nods to those he doesn’t. Willam, in the last few years, has learned to love life. He’s more often than not got a smile on his face. Willam finds that the best way to vent your frustration or just 'cool off' after a hard day is a proper fight, and a good brawl puts him in even better spirits, even if he does get the tar beat out of him. During friendly bouts, Willam often lets out big, almost maddened guffaws and refers to himself as "Willam '''Godsdamned''' Hicke."

He’s a fierce patriot, going out of his way to support the reclamation of Ala Mhigo however he can. In addition, he often offers up thanks or prayers to Rhalgr the Destroyer or pays his patron god respect through fighting or whittling away at small wooden effigies.

==Combat==
===General===
Willam, in his heart of hearts, has never known a fair fight. Flinging sand into someone’s eyes, hiding a spare knife in your boot, anything is fair game. He prefers fighting in cities, places crowded enough to blend in for a while, letting him learn the layout of the streets and use it to ambush or escape as needed. If he suspects his opponent to be Garlean he loses himself, going out of his way to disfigure his victim by gouging eyes or slicing digits, always making sure that they make it back alive as a warning to the rest.
==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* Brawling
::* Hearty meals
::* An honest day's work

===Dislikes===
::* Sweets
::* Elezen
::* '''Garleans'''

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* Willam enjoys whittling and can often be found working bits of wood into little trinkets.
::* Willam tends to spend his time with (not-quite) his chocobo, Beaksie.
::* Willam often takes walks through Ul'dah, looking for work.

==Relationships==
===Family===
Altani's family was part of a small "offshoot" of Dataq known as the Sarjad. They still viewed themselves as Dataq, but held onto traditions that didn't line up completely with the tribe as a whole.

'''Agdi Hicke''' - Will's younger brother who dreamed of joining the Fists of Rhalgr. He was killed during the uprise against King Theodoric. Will honors his fallen sibling on his nameday, keeping to himself and tending to a small memorial stashed away in the depths of Pearl Lane.

'''Gunnar Hicke''' - Will's father, a once prosperous textile merchant in Ala Mhigo. While he survived the tyrannical rule of the King of Ruin, Agdi's death took a heavy toll on the man. He grew sick and passed not long after. Will is often thankful that his father never lived to see Ala Mhigo fall to the Empire.

'''Mari Hicke (née Hunter)''' - Will's mother. A tailor of considerable skill, she helped bolster Gunnar's inventory with finely-sewn tunics and robes. She outlived her husband, only to lose her life during the exodus from Ala Mhigo.

===Friends===
'''[[Altani Dataq'Kahkol]]''' - A Xaela girl that Willam took in about five years ago. He considers himself a father figure and while they often (literally) butt heads, he loves the girl like his own family.

===Enemies===

'''''Garleans''''' - Willam hates nothing more than the Garlean Empire, almost to the point of irrationality. During his darkest moments, he travels a bit further from the city than usual, in hopes of running into a Garlean soldier that's wandered too far from their post.

"Well-offs" - Despite being from a well-off family himself, Willam cannot stomach what he calls "well-offs." While he doesn't hate them to the point of actual violence (anymore), he'll often go out of his way to bump into smug well-offs or somehow otherwise make their day just a bit worse.

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* Some say he gutted a poor bastard and left 'em for dead.
::* Why'd he adopt that [[Altani Dataq'Kahkol|lizard]]? I've heard that one of his own kids died and this is his way of atoning.
::* Have you seen him fight? It's like a man possessed.

===Moderate Rumors===
::* He sneaks away sometimes, I wonder what he's up to...
::* They say he collects scalps of Garlean soldiers, hides 'em in that little hideaway of his.
::*

===Rare Rumors===
::* He went by the Alchemist's Guild once and came out with a big ol' grin on his face. How'd he manage afford their services?

==History==
Willam was born to a well-off family in Ala Mhigo and lead a happy life. He was a good lad, outgoing and friendly. As a boy, Will often pretended to be a gladiator, “Willam the Brave,” acting as the bulwark between his friends and their imaginary foes. However, Will aged and the world around him grew tense as King Theodoric began his purges and gained control over the city-state. The young man and his companions were a small, rather insignificant part of the rebellion against the King of Ruin. In truth, they may have wounded a handful of loyalists, at best.

Will watched his friends – whose afternoons were spent emerging victorious against make-believe behemoths – fall to the King’s men like the inexperienced, over-confident children that they were. It was this that caused him to take up his first actual shield and lead those few battered comrades that remained toward the heart of the city-state, only to find that the King of Ruin took his own life long before they'd even set out on their personal warpath. Will grieved and mourned the friends and family he had lost, but his life would go on.

Five years later, the Garlean invasion took what was left of the man’s loved ones, forcing him and thousands of others to flee. “Willam the Brave” died in the trek to Thanalan, leaving only a hollow man whose heart had grown heavy with loss.

Willam made his way to Ul'dah, taking up exhausting, backbreaking, dangerous work for a pittance. He vowed to take bacAla Mhigo, but he was growing more and more bitter with every passing day. Willam took up thievery, not making enough gil from legitimate work to survive. He believed himself a sort of hero of the people, nicking the occasional piece of jewelry or pricey trinket from those wealthy merchants who looked down upon him and his fellow refugees. He’d fence these items, giving the money up for supplies and clothing for other people who found themselves in similar situations.

As time passed, he grew violent and would leave several of the ‘well-off’ that he grew to hate so much either bleeding or broken in the back alleys of the worst parts of Ul’dah. He began to use the money not for the other refugees and street-dwellers, but to feed his habits of flesh, smoke, and drink.

One night, Willam was stalking a gaudily-dressed Elezen man. This would be his next target, a simple ‘gimme yer gil,’ and some roughing up if the pointy-eared bastard didn’t agree. Probably some roughing up either way, really. As Willam turned a corner, he saw a sight that made his blood boil.

The Elezen had approached a young girl, speaking in that far-too-proper, flowery language. Willam didn’t hear everything, but he’d been around the worst parts of the city long enough to know: That well-off wanted the child’s body. Willam gripped his knife with such force that his knuckles went white and popped. The highlander moved swiftly, spinning the Elezen around to come face-to-face with Willam’s head slamming into his own, shattering his nose. He buried his knife in the well-off’s stomach and allowed the predator to fall to the ground. He looked to the girl, oddly calm at the sudden bloodshed. She had horns and scales, was covered in scars and bruises, and had fire in her eyes where fear would normally be found. Willam had never seen one of these… things before, but a child was a child.

“Come on, girl.”

This would become the turning point for Will, as the young Xaela acted as a reason for him to clean up his life. He knew that he’d never be “Willam the Brave” again. He knew he’d always be a bit broken. However, he’d put these skills – knifeplay, sneaking, slight of hand, and damned painful headbutt – to good use. He’d care for the girl, he’d help the refugees, he’d join the fight for Ala Mhigo.

<center>"I fight t'protect folk, aye? T'protect home'n kin. ... And because it's Mother-damned ''fun''!"</center>

==Character==
===General===
'''This page is a work in progress and will be added to regularly.'''
===Appearance===
Altani is short, scrawny, and rough looking. Her horns have nicks and gashes. Her face is covered in scars, bruises, dirt and grime ranging in age from ‘this just happened’ to ‘as long as I can remember.’ Her hair – black as her horns – is kept short, practical yet unkempt and always in need of a trim. Despite this beaten up appearance, her eyes have a certain fire in them. A quick glance is more likely to get a glare and a scowl than a smile and a nod. Of particular note is her left arm, which is positively covered in scars from her hand to her elbow. In addition, she has a particularly nasty bite scar on her right shoulder.

Altani’s clothes are as rough and simple as herself. Everything is practical, with very few frills or trinkets. The most 'decoration' about the girl is the paint that adorns her face and body.

===Personality===
Altani's a wanderer who is often lost in her own thoughts. It's not from rudeness that she ignores the throngs of people she pushes through without a single 'excuse me' or 'sorry,' but just the simple fact that her mind is meandering as much as her body. Because of this, she's easily surprised if someone snaps her out of her daydreams.

When Altani is feeling social, she's rough and more than a bit crude. She speaks with a bit of an Ala Mhigan accent, which thickens as she grows more stressed or uncomfortable. She also suffers from her mouth working faster than her brain, leading her to say things that really should have been kept hidden.

==Combat==
===General===
Altani lives to fight. Her eyes only truly light up when she’s pummeling some poor sap who thought it would be a good idea to harass the small Au Ra or when hunting too-curious beastkin poking about remote settlements. Altani prefers to fight with minimal weaponry, a pair of old metal claws or some wood shaped into crude and unwieldy knuckledusters at most. Altani’s attacks are quick and relentless, making use of her entire body. Biting, headbutting, scratching are all fair game in her eyes, while grace and honor remain foreign concepts. The end result of a fight, no matter who wins, leaves the young Au Ra looking a complete mess.
==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* Fighting
::* Wandering
::* Horses

===Dislikes===
::* Whiskey
::* Crowds
::* Chocobos

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* Altani will often spend large amounts of time wandering, leaving wherever she's calling home and not returning for several suns.
::* She enjoys watching people, if from afar, even if she does freeze up when they inevitably notice her.
::* Training is by far Altani's personal passion and she can often be found hidden somewhere out of the way with a makeshift striking dummy made of whatever was handy.

==Relationships==
===Family===
Altani's family was part of a small "offshoot" of Dataq known as the Sarjad. They still viewed themselves as Dataq, but held onto traditions that didn't line up completely with the tribe as a whole.

'''Greatmother Mergen''' - Altani's late greatmother and the shaman of the Sarjad. A spiritually-minded woman who believed that every twinkling star to be the soul of an ancestor, watching their kin from the heavens. Mergen also lead her kin in the ''Suns Khurd'' ceremony, where the clan returned to where the first of their line had fallen. Staying for two whole suns, great drums boomed the entire time, scaring away foul spirits and calling the deceased to their final resting place. As her age advanced and her health failed her, Mergen was unable to participate in drumming. She succumbed to illness soon after, finally passing as she slept in the saddle of one of their family's many horses.

'''Oyuun Dataq''' - Altani's elder brother and closest friend. More of a spitfire and troublemaker than Altani herself, Oyuun would often find himself being punished by the elders of the Sarjard. Oyuun was a fierce fighter and stood at Mergen's side as her guardian. When his people were butchered by the Dotharl, Oyuun reluctant accepted the help of the Kahkol. He left one night after a heated discussion with the leaders of the Kahkol. To this day, Altani wonders if he's still alive.

===Friends===
'''[[Willam Hicke]]''' - An Ala Mhigan refugee who met Altani in Ul'dah five years ago. He took her in off the streets and helped her to adapt and survive in the strange new world that Altani found herself in. While they often butt heads (literally and figuratively), they're still fiercely loyal to one another.

'''[[User: Altasia Dotharl|Altasia Dotharl]]''' - WIP

'''Woona Snowdrop''' - WIP

'''Drohkya Dotharl''' - One of the few Dotharl that Altani can stand. Not quite a friend, but Altani hasn't wanted to kick her head in.

===Enemies===

'''Most Dotharl''' - Altani possesses a strong hatred for most Dotharl, referring to them as savages or animals and even going out of her way to pick fights with them. This often ends poorly for Altani.

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* I saw her looking at a sign for way too long, all squinting-like. Can't she read?
::* Some [[Willam Hicke|old highlander]] told me a story about her. Something about getting frog-drunk?
::* She's always got some bright yellow feathers and scratches on her. Is she a chocobo handler?

===Moderate Rumors===
::* I've not seen her around that Xaela camp in the Shroud lately. She used to be there all the time.
::* I saw her one night, looked real scared. Could've swore she had tears in her eyes, too. She was with two Xaela, didn't dare get close enough to hear what they were saying.
::* I heard that she used to eat people, thinking that she could 'take their power' that way.

===Rare Rumors===
::* I could have swore she had white scales a few years ago, but I only saw her for a half-moment.

==History==
Her people were ambushed by a Dotharl warband while Altani a handful of others were hunting and gathering away from the main group of Sarjad. When they heard the warhorns of the Dotharl, they rushed back to find their kin dead and dying. After killing those that clung to life and giving the Dataq victims proper burial rites, they wandered with what few supplies remained. As resources grew dangerously low, they were saved by passing Kahkol scouts, who quickly brought them into the tribe. The always-small Altani was often mocked and shoved about by the larger children, especially during times of low supplies and high tensions.

Altani found solace in her kin, particularly her older brother, who kept her tormentors at bay. She became dependent on them, ever-wary the other scattered survivors that the Kahkol picked up. However, her kin began to dwindle in number. Some left the clan of their own accord, others fell to disease, war, or age. Soon, the mockery began once again, with older male and female clanmates falling back on childish pranks. Altani snapped. A retort lead to a fight. A fight lead to a death. A death, the child of an elder, lead to an exile. The Au Ra was cast out from the clan, wandering for nearly a year before she stowed away on a ship bound for Eorzea. Further travel would send her to Thanalan and then Ul'dah, where she would remain until a chance encounter with a Qalli shaman.

==Recent Events==

Altani joined the Sarantduu Qalli, swearing loyalty to [[Kulain Qalli]] in an attempt to reclaim the "proper" Xaela life that she had lost years ago. She learned the traditions of the Sarantduu, face her past crimes, and ''almost'' become Qalli herself. However, a falling out lead to her leaving the clan.

Using a linkpearl given to her by a [[Maatmi Bairon|close friend]] who had left the traditional Xaela life behind, she found solace with the Velvet Rose. She worked as security for the establishment, remaining there for a few months before, once again, moving on.

She's currently in the employ of [[Alrik Dotharl]] and the Dragon's Crown tavern, acting as a mercenary for the Black Crowns.

===Personality===
Altani carries herself with a lack of care of the world around her. She isn’t unaware of the crowds of cities, she just seems to prefer sparing herself the niceties of ‘excuse me’ and ‘sorry,’ instead weaving her way through throngs of people without a single sound. Her eyes remain forward, her mouth remains shut. In crowds with no ease way out, she often looks skittish and keeps to herself. Definitely not a people person.

In less crowded spaces or if she's with the handful of people she knows and trusts, Altani relaxes. She still keeps to herself, but is more willing to interact with people, as opposed to staring them down from as far away as she can manage.

Altani found solace in her kin, who kept her tormentors at bay. She became dependent on them, ever-wary the other scattered survivors that the Kahkol picked up. However, her kin began to dwindle in number. Some left the clan of their own accord, others fell to disease, war, or age. Soon, the mockery began once again, with older male and female clanmates falling back on childish pranks. Altani snapped. A retort lead to a fight. A fight lead to a death. A death, the child of an elder, lead to an exile. The Au Ra was cast out from the clan, wandering for nearly a year before she stowed away on a ship bound for Eorzea. Further travel would send her to Thanalan and then Ul'dah, where she would remain until a chance encounter with a Qalli shaman.
