==Character==
===General===
John is always at the edge of the goings on in the world. Since he was raised by Hyur, he doesn’t have that clan identity, though he wants to find the clan that he came from. His actually nameday is unknown but was given the date by his huyran sister. He’s quiet and sad, yet there is a weight that he bares on his shoulders, place there by himself.

John is able to sense the aether around him, in objects, and people as well. Truefully, he can't not see aether in the fashion that most would, he only knows the color of his own aether by his mom and dad, and it's his fingers that does the reading. The gloves act as a barrier between his other ability, that he calls "Dreaming", so that he doesn't see the aetheric memories of the object that he might be holding...or a person that he might touch. To John, "Dreaming" is a curse, because it can not be control except by wearing gloves. Since he had been suffering from a fever when his sister, Tanya found out of the ability, she warn him that seeing another person memories was wrong. His fever twisted her words in his mind, making the child think that he was a bad person for using the ability. As he grew older, he has to come to think of "Dreaming as worst then rape to the other person...and that it was a curse that the Twelve was using to punish him. John hasn't touch anyone with his bare hands for 11 years now.

===Dreaming===
For the Dreaming to work, John has to remove his gloves, allowing his finger to come into contact with the person or object. From there, his finger has a deeper read of the aetheric vibrations of the object of person, John's brain and aether translating the vibrations. From there, the brain reforms the memories in John's mind, seeing the memories, though unlike with the Echo, he can only see not interact within the memory. Also the stronger the emotion within the aether, the clearer the memory will be for John. Since if has been so long since he has "Dream" there is a higher chance that he could be overwhelm by the memories that could pour into his mind, losing his pathway back to 'himself'.

===Appearance===
John hair is purple, with lighter highlights running through it. Some of the hair falls over his right eye and the back is done in a short braid. Reddish brown eyes gaze more often at the ground, as if he’s trying to not look at anyone. He carries a worn book at his side, yet most can see that is very much cared for. He always has gloves on.

===Personality===
John is quiet, hanging back to keep out of the way, and not to be notice. His bearing can seem overly polite, taking to calling people sir or madam, sometimes even when he’s told otherwise. It takes time to see the laughter that will flash across his face, reveal what John was like as a child. His temper flares up when a person has done something to injure themselves or that could injure others.

==Combat==
===General===
John is an Arcanist, though he hasn’t had much battle experience. His dad is has been trying to get him use to battle, know that John may find himself following too closely to his sister’s footsteps. He is more a healer then a fighter.

==History/Timeline==
Rhag’ra Tayuun had only been a month old when his mother’s cart of goods heading to Ul’dah was attack by an Ixal hunting party. His mother was killed trying to protect him and he would have died as well if not for Thomas and his family coming across the cart. As Thomas used a linkpearl to contact Ul’dah, his 5 year old daughter, Tanya, found the baby under his mother’s body, and then asked her parents if she could name her new brother. Since they had no idea where the baby Miqo’te’s family was, they gladly took the child in.

Tanya was overjoyed at her new brother and in many was a second mother to the little miqo’te. Perhaps that was why she notice that her brother at five would stare into the distance when he would hold something. Thinking that her brother was more dreamer then her, she didn’t give much thought to the matter…that would be a regret that she would take to the grave with her years later.

For young John, the miqo’te kit wasn’t sure of the dreams himself that he would see when he held something in his hand. His parents would smile at the story he told, though others around them thought that the child might not have all of his gils together. As he grew older, the daydreams seem to grow stronger, though he didn’t speak about them now, mostly because he didn’t want his sister to worry about his mental state as she began her training in Gridania as a Conjuer. It would have continue this way if a fever that ran though the Pearl Lane area hadn’t also hit the 10 year old John as well.

What she found when word got back to her about her brothers illness, made her guts twist in dread. What she thought might have been an echo ability was nothing of the sort. It had always been with him, no stare shower starting it up, yet hope when these dreams of the past came from holding an object. She asked her mother for gloves to be given to her, which she then place on his hands. They were found curled up in his bed, his fever broke, and her energy drain. By the end of the month John and Tanya had recovered from that night. During that time, John would steal an old book, a book that seem to have deep magic in it, Tanya telling him that she would research for him. She return to her training, leaving her brother with the reminder, “Keep your gloves on so you don’t have nightmares,” and a promise between the siblings that when John was old enough, they would travel together and find out everything that wanted to know.

Things went back to normal for the Waterstrike family, the time nearing for John to leave Ul’dah and join Tanya on the Adventurer’s path. Plans that ended the day that the battle of Carteneau. The lost of Tanya in that last battle and the world almost ending was a turning point for John. The happy eager teen closed off, the grins turning into small smile, if the other person got one at all. Another five years would pass and John would uphold his end of the promise the two had made so many years ago when word of Limsa Lominsa opening up the Arcanist guild for membership. On his twentieth name day, he gave his goodbyes to his mother and father, taking with him the book that he called Kit and Tanya’s sunstone chocker.

It was a year later that Thomas, in order to return his son from the shadow that he had become, sent John to help out with a fighting tournament, called Grindstone, that was in need of healers. In many ways, it was something that save John for fleeing altogether from his curse and the pain that was in his soul from his sister's death. He would remain in his home city, joining the Flames, first in his brother-in-law unit, and then being pulled into Zero Division.

== [[File:FCtiny.png|left|55px]] <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#2C3539; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character'''</div> ==

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
[[file:KhyranFull.jpeg|center]]
Khy is a skeletal, ragged man with a sharp, beak-like nose and an eye-patch. He's as helpful as he is suspicious, equal parts neurotic and nonchalant, and completely unconcerned with his own safety. He carries no weapons and wears no armor. He is self-sacrificing to a fault, though blunt and awkward. He has a habit of lurking, eavesdropping, and generally knowing too much, but he has yet to do anything obviously sinister. He tends to watch and listen, like some sort of sickly carrion bird.
<div>


=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
Khyran wouldn't really be called "attractive" by conventional standards. He has an angular, bony face framed by long, dark hair that has grown past his shoulderblades. He has a hooked nose, thin lips, and a deep-set brown eye. His teeth are crooked and there's a gap between his front incisors. He has a short, trim goatee and a stubble-darkened jaw. His voice can be described as mellow and airy.

He is about 5'6" and nearly corpselike in weight. If he is picked up, he can be estimated to weigh 90 pounds. His robes are too big for him, threadbare and dirty. His skin is sallow and pale, his single eye often bloodshot. He usually smells like sweat, dirt, grass, and blood.

If he carries weapons, they must be expertly concealed, for there is absolutely no sign of such things on his person.

'''Early September 2015 Update'''

''Whirr. Clunk. Whirrrr. Clunk.'' The sounds, hushed, emit from the man's left leg when he walks. When idle, the leg emits a faint purring sound. His robes and long pants obscure it, but it is obvious by the nature of his metallic foot and the sounds that it is not a real leg. His other leg, too, is carried strangely. Though it is mostly flesh, those who see the leg without his robes or pants covering it would find that it is augmented with metal plates and cylindrical objects. He walks with a funny little limp on it at most times, and is rarely seen without a jagged, wooden walking stick.

<div>


=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===
<hr>
More often than not, he stands in a slouch and moves slowly. His joints often pop at the slightest exertion. He seems incapable of running very long, as the attempt leaves him breathless to the point of collapse. When he walks, its usually with his head bowed and his arms folded behind his back. When he's seated, he fidgets, tapping his fingers and feet or playing with strings.

He usually speaks in a "dead" voice and his face rarely betrays much in the way of emotion. He tends to avoid eye contact with people, and keeps his head down. It may appear as though he is not paying attention to anyone or anything, but when asked questions, he is often startlingly accurate, and he is known to point things out about people that others would have barely noticed. If he is observed closely, one can assume he is actually watching people like a hawk out of the corner of his eye. He is paying very, very close attention. It may be difficult to slip anything past him.

<div>



=== '''♦ Personality''' ===
<hr>
The very first thing someone is likely to notice about Khyran is that he is self-sacrificing. Even when his life is being actively threatened, he will stare at the threat with a gentle smile and few attempts to dissuade it. If he is offered something for free, he refuses in exchange for providing services. He always seems to be looking for someone to help and something to be doing with himself. If he must do something for the sake of his own survival, it is often with reluctance and guilt. He has absolutely no regard for his own well-being, and this seems to play into every part of who he is. He simply does not know fear.

He does, however, know anxiety- for he is nervous in crowds and social gatherings. To him, socializing with strangers is like pulling teeth. He prefers watching people from corners or meeting with individuals one-on-one. When speaking to individuals, he is more of a listener. He's honest, genuine, and forthright. Some would find him a good friend because he does not sugar-coat what he thinks is the truth. If he sees a problem, he brings it up. If he thinks someone is doing poorly, he tries to help by shining the light on their mistakes. He has no motivation other than to be helpful, even though his intentions can often backfire. Unfortunately, the man is also quite bleak, known to expect the worst- and hope for it, too. He is rarely good-humored, and often resorts to subtle sarcasm to express his displeasure. That sarcasm is often impossible to hear in his typically dead, emotionless tone of voice.

At his best, he makes for pleasant, helpful company and an unbiased listening ear. At his worst, he's depressing, blunt and stubbornly set in his ways, making him infuriating to those who care about him. On top of everything, he's tight-lipped about anything in regards to his history, and the way he just stares and watches people can make him a dreadfully suspicious and enigmatic man. Still, he doesn't appear to be the sort of person capable of doing harm even if he wanted to.

=== '''♦ History''' ===
<hr>
Khyran is an enigma to all who know him, and it's difficult for anyone to trace him to his origins.
However, an attentive and particularly determined individual may be able to deduce several things:

1. He was born in Costa del Sol.

2. Some people who live in Costa del Sol loathe the mention of his name, and hopefully wonder if he has been killed.

3. The rumors don't agree on what he did, why he is hated, and how he managed to disappear.

Something terrible has happened. It does not appear that Khyran wishes to discuss it with anyone.



=== '''♦ Significant IC Events''' ===
<hr>

''Section is intentionally vague and only meant to chronicle significant portions of this character's life and arc as he is roleplayed in-game. If you want more details, ask him IC!''

'''JOINS WFS. JULY 2015:''' Despite his misgivings about traveling with people, Khyran's hand was forced by his own poor health. He could no longer do what he intends to do alone. He joined the Wayfinders Solace Caravan, and made known his secret to the caravan master, Jikam. His intent was not to make friends, or family. It was to be useful. The caravan encountered a brief spat with gremlins, and he injured his leg. He recovered well, but his self-sacrificial actions that day were observed as foolhardy and stupid.

'''WFS FIGHTS THE VOIDSENT. EARLY AUGUST 2015:''' The Wayfinders became embroiled in a plot involving a Voidsent. Taking great personal risks, the Wayfinders defeated the Voidsent monster in the frozen mountains of Coerthas. The caravan generally felt Khyran's foolhardy- and unexpectedly effective- contributions were helpful against the metaphysical monster, and he won some respect among them.

'''OUTED AS A FUGITIVE; CRIPPLED PERMANENTLY. LATE AUGUST 2015:''' Following a complicated string of events, Khyran's secret was revealed to the majority of the caravan's members. Driven by guilt, fear, and external pressure, he left the caravan. He was tracked down and taken back by force, but not after he made a terrible mistake and was shot in the leg by someone in self-defense. His left femur was shattered. He awaits trial within the caravan's own system of government. He will likely never walk on his leg again without external support, and is permanently crippled.

'''TRIAL COMPLETED; GOING THROUGH CHANGES. EARLY SEPTEMBER 2015:''' The outcome of Khyran's trial was as good for him as it could have been, given the circumstances. He is now trying to re-evaluate his life and figure out how he can best make up for his sins and be stronger for others. But because of his shattered leg bone, he's having difficulty doing *anything* beyond lie around in bed or struggle to get places on crutches. He is staying on a regular supply of pain relief injections just to stay sane, and he's developed an addiction to them. He's struck up a very difficult deal with an engineer in hopes to have a replacement leg built for him.

'''LEG REPLACED. EARLY SEPTEMBER 2015:''' Khyran now has a prosthetic leg, and modified his existing leg to accommodate a new ability. He now has a limited-capacity jump boost, as well as increased stamina. As far as the rest of his weak, withered body goes, however... there's little to be done about that.

'''ON THE HUNT. LATE SEPTEMBER/EARLY OCTOBER 2015:''' Khyran became aware that two of his acquaintances are dealing with Voidsent enemies. Though he is still struggling to walk on his still-healing legs, he began the struggle to locate, and kill, these Voidsent creatures. One of them, he barely managed to remove traces of its influence from his friend's mind. The other, he only managed a slight lock on the creature before it eluded his attention. As so much of his time is absorbed in trying to track down these creatures, he hardly had a chance to rest, and his abuse of the painkillers reached a critical level. He began stealing from his friends and co-workers, which led to an eventual intervention by Khana.

'''LEAVES WFS. IN THE SHADOWS. LATE OCTOBER/EARLY NOVEMBER 2015:''' Khyran left his previous company. Many who he considered himself on friendly terms with no longer associate with the company, and due to a recent issue involving Voidsents, he felt it was no longer safe for those remaining in WFS for him to stay. The few he considered close enough to be his friend, he harshly turned away, in hopes that they would not try to follow him. Depressed and homeless again, Khyran began searching for meaning in life beyond his desire to hunt and kill Voidsents. Alas, finding a new home has eluded him as of late, and he has put himself completely into his work. While drunk, his friends Sigurd and Mikha convinced him to buy a chocobo chick, which has given him some hope.

</div>

==[[File:serpentleft.png|left|]] <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#2C3539; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Magic'''</div> ==

<div style="padding:5px 30px; background: #2C3539; font-size:12px; color:#FFFFFF">Overview</div>

''<center>"[[File:Vultures3.png]]</center>''

Long story short? Khyran can go into people's heads.

He can view their memories, replaying like a dream. He can place himself within the context of that memory, as a 'projection' of himself. He can also be joined by the projection of his patient.

Once he does that, he can snag his patient's memories and convert them to materia. That materia is thus drawn out of their head, forgotten by the patient entirely. Thus, he considers himself something of a "bad memory surgeon". Though these abilities come with varying degrees of suspicion and discomfort from those who know of his gift, there is always the few desperate enough to ask him for help.

Depending on how long he is able to focus and how willing the "patient" is, Khyran can do anything from wipe out entire sections of someone's memories to selectively drawing out the bad parts from an otherwise good memory. He collects the materia thereafter. Some patients request that he do specific things with the materia and he always follows suit. But if the patient is unable or unsure to specify, he keeps them very safe - but won't say exactly where.

Alongside erasing memories, Khyran can also restore memories lost via magical manipulation - not so much memories lost from physical damage, though he could certainly try.

Yet another implication of his abilities allows him to deal with curses and dark magic left in someone else's mind.

Last, but not least, Khyran has the ability to hunt down Voidsent possession. He might be one of the few people in Eorzea capable of truly ending the existence of such creatures, rather than simply banishing them back into the Void.

<div style="padding:5px 30px; background: #2C3539; font-size:12px; color:#FFFFFF">Specifics</div>

A list of Khyran's abilities, and the implications thereof, are below.

-Memory Removal. If your character has a problem they want to let go of and forget about, be it an old failed relationship or some level of war PTSD, Khyran can certainly help. The memory will be removed in the form of materia.

-Memory Restoration. Similarly, if your character has memories blocked off, he can attempt to restore them.

-Curse Removal. If your character has a mental curse or some level of dark magic that is burdening them, Khyran can attempt to remove it.

-Voidsent Removal. Definitely the messiest and most difficult operation Khyran can perform. If a character is possessed, Khy is uniquely equipped to hunt the thing down. Because Voidsent can create a physical body, just killing their body isn't enough to ensure their death. But if he can catch them in an immaterial form- while they're possessing a body- he can truly ensure it's end. He is also rather well-versed at hunting the creatures to begin with.

-On Projections. Every time Khyran enters someone's head, he, as well as they, can create a "projection" of themselves. It's a subconscious thing, the natural response to dreaming. But with practice, just like lucid dreaming, someone can change the form of their projection if they so wish. Khyran, himself, particularly favors the form of a vulture when he is hunting Voidsents.

<div style="padding:5px 30px; background: #2C3539; font-size:12px; color:#FFFFFF">Weaknesses</div>

Physical contact is required between Khyran and the patient in order for any of his powers to work.

If he loses physical contact, the connection will sever, and his power over that person will cease.

If the projection in someone's mind is damaged or killed by an inhabiting curse or Voidsent, there are great risks posed to the physical body. The threat in dealing with such magics is very real. Someone's aether can be damaged, even to the point of death.

It is possible to put up mental resistance against Khyran, even if he currently has physical contact with the patient.

If the connection is severed prematurely while Khyran's projection or his patient's projection is currently under threat from an occupying curse or hostile presence, such as a Voidsent, then there is the particularly horrible risk that Khyran's mental aether would be trapped within the patient's mind, unable to return to his own body. His body, alive, would be left behind, mindless.

<div style="padding:5px 30px; background: #2C3539; font-size:12px; color:#FFFFFF">How It Works</div>

''<center>"Close your eyes and let your mind go blank..."</center>''

'''IC- WHAT PATIENTS CAN EXPECT'''

There is a contract the patient must sign with Khyran before proceeding.

The patient will, first, find a comfortable position either sitting or lying down. Khyran will place his hand upon their forehead. His ability will coax the patient into a subconscious state. (Physical contact between Khyran and the patient IS REQUIRED for a memory to be taken.)

At this point, Khyran and his patient will share a link of their aether. A "spiritbond", so to speak. He will be able to will the patient to recall memories- moments in their life that he is searching for. His voice can be "heard" in their heads, as if he's peering in through a window into their brain. But, sometimes, he can actually enter "bodily" into a mental experience, to place himself within a memory's context and observe it unfolding as if he were there all along.

When he finds the offending memory, a sharp pain will be felt by the patient as Khyran withdraws his hand from their head. The materia is, at first, permeable and viscous, and it quickly oozes through bone and flesh before solidifying in Khyran's grasp. This all happens in an instant. The memory is now transferred into physical form, and exists in the physical world.

The amount of time required to remove a memory equates to how intensely personal that memory is. Small memories that are of little consequence are not difficult for Khyran to remove, and can be done in a few minutes. If it is a "core memory"- something that is a building block to the way that character thinks and operates- it will take several sessions over the course of several days- even weeks- to properly remove. The materia in question will vary in size and color, depending on the nature of the memory it encompasses. When the materia is physically near the patient it belongs to, the patient will be able to feel a slight "buzzing" from it, like ringing in their ears, as the materia responds to their soul's signature.

What is done with the materia afterwards is covered in the contract...

'''IC- WHAT IT DOES TO KHYRAN'''

The effects on Khyran himself are often subdued, but it is obvious he becomes exhausted after a long session. He requires time to recover his energy before proceeding with a larger job.

However, some people may notice, when the man is in a vulnerable emotional state, or asleep... that there's a strange buzzing sound in their ears when they're around him. It's so faint, it's often hard to notice.

'''OOC'''

As with all my RP, OOC consent is always requested and discussed before Khy uses his mind powers on anyone. Khy's ability is powerful, but he will never use it on anyone OOC unwilling. Generally, he gets IC consent as well, but there may be rare cases where the character may wish to remove a memory by force from someone. If this situation arises, all details will- and must- be decided on and agreed with OOC beforehand, and will only be done if all parties involved in the memory removal agree and think it's a good addition to their character's plot. There will not be any power-playing from Khyran!

Anyone wanting to RP a core memory removal with Khyran should be willing to RP with him for a long time. Part of the materia creation process is about a bond between Khyran and the individual in question. This is just a reason to RP with him and develop our characters together!

If your character has a Voidsent problem, he's also perfect for the plot.

:● ● '''[[Tsaganarii Dhoro]]''' : Narii has managed to chisel past Khyran's armor, and became his very first friend. He cares very deeply for her; she is who he would consider to be his closest friend. She has been with him through some of the hardest times of his life, and he feels he owes her everything.

:● ● '''[[Mikha Sunthistle]]''' : It took some time, but Mikha's unabashedly chipper personality and inclination to be helpful has won Khy over. He knows the teen has gone through a lot, but his insistence to remain positive is the sort of thing Khy feels he's missing, sometimes. As Khyran grew closer to Mikha throughout time, he now can't imagine a life without him, and often finds himself longing for his positive outlook to counteract his own gloom and cynicism. If asked, he would say he loves Mikha- a sort of statement he is often reluctant to give about other men. He gave Mikha a protective necklace, and is currently trying to teach him how to guard his mind from intruders.

:● ● '''[[Khana Borlaaq]]''' : She has been nothing but kind to him, in the times he needed her most. He appreciates her immensely. Due to a complex series of events, he knows quite a lot about her- probably as much about her as she knows about herself. His only desire in regards to her is to keep her happy and safe, and protect her from the various threats in her life, even though he often feels it is a fruitless endeavor. He asked to be the godfather to her child.

:● '''[[Sigurd Sundsteigen]]''' : He is not sure what kind of person Sigurd is, but he appreciates the person he's trying to become. And that makes two of them. Sigurd made a blood oath of friendship with Khyran, and although Khyran still finds himself wary and occasionally judgmental of Sigurd's moral looseness, he would hesitantly count Sigurd among his few chosen friends.

:● '''[[Flickering Ember]]''' : Khyran tends to forget that she's blind. She just handles herself so well! He does worry, however, for her safety, and hopes that no one takes advantage of her. Her childlike nature and simple outlook on life is something he finds very peaceful, and he enjoys being around her. He doesn't know her very well, but he would say she is a friend.

: 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#2C3539; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Enemies & Rivals</div>===

:● '''[[Faolan Donne]]''' : He might not necessarily be "hostile", but Khy feels recent events have definitely put their acquaintanceship somewhere sour.

:● '''[[Llinos Silvernail]]''' : He had hoped, at one point, they could be friends. But he made a terrible mistake.

:● '''[[Wemrys Quintos]]''' : After the incident involving Llinos, Wemrys has become very hostile to Khyran, even without the Beast he made himself privy to. It is understandable. Khyran holds no animosity towards the man's judgement.

:● '''[[Nero Varus]]''' : Nero is the man in charge of creating a prosthetic limb for Khyran. Khy also pledged to offer his service when it is within his moral bounds to do so as an exchange for the leg's creation. He strongly dislikes Nero due to the man's self-serving nature and the threats he made against Khana and Sigurd.

:● '''[[O'jirho Tia]]''' : O'jirho has learned of Khy's history, and is currently hostile to him. It is unfortunate, for Khyran only means the best for him.

:● '''Lily Oisin (NPC)''' : Don't talk to her about Khyran.

:● '''Ray Oisin (NPC)''' : "How are my sons? I only have one son."

:● '''Kane Oisin (NPC)''' : It goes beyond sibling rivalry.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#2C3539;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div>===

:● '''[[Caolan Achaius]]''' : Caolan is perhaps one of the few men that Khyran would actually enjoy sharing a pint and no conversation with, and find absolutely nothing awkward about it.

:● '''[[Jikam Constans]]''' : Khyran understands the depth of his suffering, and feels a strange kinship with the man. He does, after all, owe Jikam a lot. He hopes he can repay his kindness some day.

:● '''[[Vi Lindon]]''' : He met her on the road. She gave him some food and much-needed company, despite the fact that it's difficult for him to admit that he needed either. He currently likes her, though he's uncertain to what extent. Her emotions, and her obsession with Nald'thal, remains an enigma to him.

:● '''[[Connor Tavarin]]''' : Connor seems to have come to terms with Khyran's secret. He thinks Connor is pure of heart and noble to a fault. He respects the man.

:● '''[[Adriel Marchand]]''' : Though they were once friends, an unfortunate situation ended in an argument between them. Khyran believed the only way he could protect her from getting unduly hurt was to cast aside their friendship. He threw away the pendant she gave him in an attempt to force her to leave.

:● '''[[Avis Inkwood]]''' : His brief encounter with her hit it off really well, and she might be able to help him with a very particular problem he is faced with... hopefully they will speak again.

:● '''[[Skylar Brooks]]''' : He's encountered her enough times to form a very vague opinion of her, but little less. She strikes him as a bit reserved, though still willing to answer things if she's asked.

:● '''[[Ouka Highwind]]''' : He has very little opinion of the fellow yet, though his brief impression while he woke up from surgery was positive.

:● '''[[Vaerimont Lectoroix]]''' : He has no idea what to make of Vaerimont at this present time, but it is not an unpleasant impression. He can, however, tell that the fellow's magical affinity is so far above him, he has trouble understanding a word he says on the subject.

:● '''[[Glace Silencieuse]]''' : Glace assisted in an amputation, but Khy's brief impression of him is negative. Something about him rubs him the wrong way.

:● '''[[Rosalin Menoly]]''' : He can tell there's something... "different" about her. He's uncertain what, but he thinks her heart is in the right place.

:● '''[[Sechen Mankhad]]''' : They were once mistaken to be in a relationship, but it couldn't be farther from the truth. Once friends, Khyran's reputation has been sullied with Sechen. He is trying to make amends.

:● '''[[Lilia Lia]]''' : Khyran is uncertain as to his present standing with the Lalafel, though their interactions have always been pleasant.

:● '''[[Eduard Harlow]]''' : He feels Eduard has little opinion of him beyond his observation that he's selfish. Khyran has the same feelings towards him. He also thinks Eduard is very pretentious.

:● '''[[Dezmond Elwood]]''' : Unfortunately, Khyran knows little about him beyond the fact that he is very angry about his recent dealings with a Garlean for a prosthetic limb. It is unfortunate that they have had little interaction beyond mild conflict.

:● '''[[Sasha Rochester]]''' : There's something off about her that he can't put his finger on, and he's not sure where her motivations lie, but he'd rather not be so quick to judge.

:● '''[[Virella Douront]]''' : Though he knows little of her culture, he thinks she's a little too infatuated with it- to the point of being completely unaware of more immediate and important issues.

:● '''[[Melfice Vainchelon]]''' : Khyran is completely at a loss of what to make of him. Whatever that may be, he does not think him a particularly noble sort.

:● '''[[Sindri Silvernail]]''' : Khy is aware of the child's complicated history, but due to his relationship with Llinos, he's uncertain where Sindri's opinions of him lie. He saved Sindri's life, once, but that is little to make up for his transgressions to the Silvernail family.

:● '''[[Maple Silvernail]]''' : Khy wanted to help Maple with her anxieties, but Llinos intervened, and he hasn't seen her since. He had hoped they could be friends, deep down.

:● '''Sairah Oisin (NPC)''' : A mother's love only goes so far.

<div style="padding:5px 30px; background: #2C3539; font-size:12px; color:#FFFFFF">In Major Cities</div>

There are several posters up in Limsa Lominsa, New and Old Gridania, and Ul'dah city proper.

"To Those who Suffer,

Sometimes, there is not a way out. Sometimes, our worst enemies are what plague us from within. Our very minds keep us chained to despair.

To those who feel they have no escape, there may be hope.

Khyran Oisin is a doctor with the rare ability to withdraw memories from another person as materia. He is specifically trained to locate and remove the experiences from another's life that they would rather live without.

If this is a service that interests you, please write a letter specifying your name and location.

The service is completely free. No payment is necessary. More information will be provided once an appointment is arranged."

...One of these posters, in Limsa Lominsa, is scrawled with graffiti: "CON ARTIST"

<div style="padding:5px 30px; background: #2C3539; font-size:12px; color:#FFFFFF">Common (Easy to Overhear)</div>

A Traveling Merchant: "That Khyran is still around? I thought he'd have shriveled up and blown away by now."

The Drowning Wench Owner: "You wanna know about that Oisin? He ain't welcome in this tavern no more. Kept starin', askin' people personal questions and creepin' 'em out. Don't trust him."

A Botanist in Gridania: "Oh, Khy? I know him. He's really, really nice. Too nice, if you ask me. I really want to believe he means well, but you can never be too sure these days."

An Old Woman in Gridania: "Khyran is one of the sweetest people I know. I just wish he would take care of himself. The poor boy."

<div style="padding:5px 30px; background: #2C3539; font-size:12px; color:#FFFFFF">Uncommon (Hard to Overhear)</div>

A Refugee in Ul'dah: "A strange man asked me if I needed help when I was starving in the gutter. I told him yeah. He asked me if I wanted to start over- to get a blank slate. I told him yeah. He offered to wipe my memories. That's when I told him to leave. Shits just not worth it.''

A Traveling Merchant: "I saw a man sitting near the sea on my way to Limsa. I was only stopping by to deliver a package, and a few hours later I went back that way... and the same man was still sitting there. Same spot, same position. I thought he might have been asleep, but when I walked nearer, I heard him muttering. Strangest thing I've seen that day."

<div style="padding:5px 30px; background: #2C3539; font-size:12px; color:#FFFFFF">Only Found in Specific Places</div>

A poster in Costa del Sol says: "WANTED: Khyran Oisin, Alive or Dead. Reward: 50,000 Gil."

:■[[Vi Lindon]]: "He may not always have been Twelve-guided, but he is now and that's what matters. Mayhap not in matters of personal hygiene, but in matters of action? Certainly."
:■[[Connor Tavarin]]: "I'm not saying what he did wasn't wrong...I just believe he's a good man trying to atone. For that, he has my respect."
:■[[Sigurd Sundsteigen]]: "Khyran is a great person. Unfortunately, like most of us, he has made some stupid mistakes over the years. Yet, his worst error, without doubt, is how much he beats himself up over his past mistakes. Regardless, I still have great hope for the man, as he does perk up a bit after a smoke." 
:■[[Jikam Constans]]: "That man is so far in over his head I am surprised he hasn't developed fish lungs yet." 
:■[[Tsaganarii Dhoro]]: "One cannot be more proud of Khy. From the beginnings met upon that fateful bridge to this sun.. Khy has grown so much, more than one ever hoped for. Took much pushing for Khy to finally accept this one into heart and now allowing others in. For Khy to be truly happy, will bring this one such joy." 
:■[[John Waterstrike]]: "Sir Khyran? I meet him twice and he seem like a man of good heart. I worry about him as he seem to carry such sadness in him. Maybe I'll have a chance to work with him as both of us are healers of the mind."

'''OOC'''

''Name Etymology''

Irish. Khyran is a variation of Kieran, which means "dark."
Oisin means "little deer."

These meanings were unintentional when the character's name was decided upon.

'''About the Player'''

I'm Aeolian, an artist. I make graphics for a sporting goods company full time. When I'm not RPing in my spare time, I'm drawing or working on my graphic novel Age of Mortality at http://www.btcomics.com. I live somewhere in the American South with my husband and two cats, Chai Tea and Total Biscuit.

I am EST.

Always IC and looking for RP. Feel free to visit my Tumblr to ask me for my skype if you want to arrange something. http://aeolian-mode.tumblr.com

'''RP Preferences'''

''Plot-heavy.'' I prefer telling stories and involving the community at large. I will rarely be found idling in taverns, I prefer pursuing a story or a conflict.

''OOC>IC.'' Your personal happiness will take precedence over preserving my character's integrity. If Khy would do something that YOU don't want, he will not do it. Simple as that! I am not a 100% immersionist RPer.

''No ERP, Romance Limited.'' If your character has feelings for Khyran, go ahead and try to pursue him. Just don't be disappointed if he turns you down. Which is likely. Any sexual advances done on my character will be turned down. It takes two to tango.

''Lore-lite.'' I know enough FFXIV lore to play here comfortably, but I'm not super knowledgeable. I have made sure to run my concepts past people who are more knowledgeable than I, but please be gentle with my goof-ups.

''Medical-heavy.'' I prefer to RP medical cases as realistically as possible, with both the body and mind. I use Google to research medical material. Given magic/aether healing is present in this world, I tend to view it more as a supplement than a catch-all. If your character tries to insta-heal mine, please don't be offended if I modify the intended effect to match the situation. Otherwise, no judgments given based on how you want to rp!

''Communication is Key.'' My character sometimes deals with heavy, sensitive material, but I will always ask before springing something on you if you are feeling sensitive or if you have triggers. I always care about your OOC comfort before IC integrity. RP is for fun, and if it becomes something uncomfortable, it's not worth it.

{{Character-stub}}

==Character==
===General===
John is always at the edge of the goings on in the world. Since he was raised by Hyur, he doesn’t have that clan identity, though he wants to find the clan that he came from. His actually nameday is unknown but was given the date by his huyran sister. He’s quiet and sad, yet there is a weight that he bares on his shoulders, place there by himself.

John is able to sense the aether around him, in objects, and people as well. Truefully, he can't not see aether in the fashion that most would, he only knows the color of his own aether by his mom and dad, and it's his fingers that does the reading. The gloves act as a barrier between his other ability, that he calls "Dreaming", so that he doesn't see the aetheric memories of the object that he might be holding...or a person that he might touch. To John, "Dreaming" is a curse, because it can not be control except by wearing gloves. Since he had been suffering from a fever when his sister, Tanya found out of the ability, she warn him that seeing another person memories was wrong. His fever twisted her words in his mind, making the child think that he was a bad person for using the ability. As he grew older, he has to come to think of "Dreaming as worst then rape to the other person...and that it was a curse that the Twelve was using to punish him. John hasn't touch anyone with his bare hands for 11 years now.

===Dreaming===
For the Dreaming to work, John has to remove his gloves, allowing his finger to come into contact with the person or object. From there, his finger has a deeper read of the aetheric vibrations of the object of person, John's brain and aether translating the vibrations. From there, the brain reforms the memories in John's mind, seeing the memories, though unlike with the Echo, he can only see not interact within the memory. Also the stronger the emotion within the aether, the clearer the memory will be for John. Since if has been so long since he has "Dream" there is a higher chance that he could be overwhelm by the memories that could pour into his mind, losing his pathway back to 'himself'.

===Appearance===
John hair is purple, with lighter highlights running through it. Some of the hair falls over his right eye and the back is done in a short braid. Reddish brown eyes gaze more often at the ground, as if he’s trying to not look at anyone. He carries a worn book at his side, yet most can see that is very much cared for. He always has gloves on.

===Personality===
John is quiet, hanging back to keep out of the way, and not to be notice. His bearing can seem overly polite, taking to calling people sir or madam, sometimes even when he’s told otherwise. It takes time to see the laughter that will flash across his face, reveal what John was like as a child. His temper flares up when a person has done something to injure themselves or that could injure others.

==Combat==
===General===
John is an Arcanist, though he hasn’t had much battle experience. His dad is has been trying to get him use to battle, know that John may find himself following too closely to his sister’s footsteps. He is more a healer then a fighter.

==History/Timeline==
Rhag’ra Tayuun had only been a month old when his mother’s cart of goods heading to Ul’dah was attack by an Ixal hunting party. His mother was killed trying to protect him and he would have died as well if not for Thomas and his family coming across the cart. As Thomas used a linkpearl to contact Ul’dah, his 5 year old daughter, Tanya, found the baby under his mother’s body, and then asked her parents if she could name her new brother. Since they had no idea where the baby Miqo’te’s family was, they gladly took the child in.

Tanya was overjoyed at her new brother and in many was a second mother to the little miqo’te. Perhaps that was why she notice that her brother at five would stare into the distance when he would hold something. Thinking that her brother was more dreamer then her, she didn’t give much thought to the matter…that would be a regret that she would take to the grave with her years later.

For young John, the miqo’te kit wasn’t sure of the dreams himself that he would see when he held something in his hand. His parents would smile at the story he told, though others around them thought that the child might not have all of his gils together. As he grew older, the daydreams seem to grow stronger, though he didn’t speak about them now, mostly because he didn’t want his sister to worry about his mental state as she began her training in Gridania as a Conjuer. It would have continue this way if a fever that ran though the Pearl Lane area hadn’t also hit the 10 year old John as well.

What she found when word got back to her about her brothers illness, made her guts twist in dread. What she thought might have been an echo ability was nothing of the sort. It had always been with him, no stare shower starting it up, yet hope when these dreams of the past came from holding an object. She asked her mother for gloves to be given to her, which she then place on his hands. They were found curled up in his bed, his fever broke, and her energy drain. By the end of the month John and Tanya had recovered from that night. During that time, John would steal an old book, a book that seem to have deep magic in it, Tanya telling him that she would research for him. She return to her training, leaving her brother with the reminder, “Keep your gloves on so you don’t have nightmares,” and a promise between the siblings that when John was old enough, they would travel together and find out everything that wanted to know.

Things went back to normal for the Waterstrike family, the time nearing for John to leave Ul’dah and join Tanya on the Adventurer’s path. Plans that ended the day that the battle of Carteneau. The lost of Tanya in that last battle and the world almost ending was a turning point for John. The happy eager teen closed off, the grins turning into small smile, if the other person got one at all. Another five years would pass and John would uphold his end of the promise the two had made so many years ago when word of Limsa Lominsa opening up the Arcanist guild for membership. On his twentieth name day, he gave his goodbyes to his mother and father, taking with him the book that he called Kit and Tanya’s sunstone chocker.

===Echo Memories===

(This is where those that have the echo can see what memories John carries with him if you interact with him. This section will be updates periodical.)

'''Complexion: ''' Brown, deeply tanned.

'''Hair: ''' Blond, chin-length.

'''Armor Style:''' Same as clothing, not favoring armor.

== Tastes ==

=== '''''Likes''''' ===

*Potent drink
*Strong tobacco
*Roast dodo
*Listening to others
*Helping with problems

=== '''''Dislikes''''' ===

*Feeling unnecessary/unneeded
*Losing
*Being ignored
*Excessive PDA
*Teetotalers

=== '''''Religion''''' ===
Howl is a devotee of the Keeper and swears by Him often in speech. His tribe also had a strong belief in auguries, predestination, omens, and prophetic visions, and he has belief in and reverence for such signs.

=== '''''Alignment''''' ===
Good.

== Personality ==

=== '''''Quirks''''' ===

Howl speaks casually and almost never uses his true Seeker-style name, "Ha'uruh," going almost exclusively by Howl. He seems to hold to few tribal Seeker traditions.

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===

*Howl is sensitive emotionally but hides a lot of his feelings, especially around people he doesn't know.

*Howl is stubborn about making sure he's the one that takes the risks and damage, and often will throw himself recklessly into harm's way to protect someone he cares about, even against their wishes.

*Howl has a well-leashed temper, but once it comes loose, he loses all composure and invariably says or does something he'll regret.

*Howl blindly chases his hopes and dreams even after the entire cosmos seems to be telling him it ain't gonna happen.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===

Howl dislikes acknowledging his fears, as he tends to bury most negative emotions, but he is terrified of being alone.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===

Howl has trained in hand-to-hand fighting his entire life, and considers himself capable of "fighting as a man ought". He has also trained briefly but extensively with the lance. He is very empathic, and with those he knows well, seems capable of understanding their emotions even before they do sometimes. He is unnaturally lucky when it comes to games of chance, and supports himself almost exclusively with winnings from games of dice and cards around Ul'dah; he is on good terms with some of the wealthier Monetarists who like to gamble, as he doesn't stick around long enough for them to realize how much he's won off of them. Recently, he's begun being invited again to exclusive card games at the Gilded Knuckle, an invitation-only club for the super-elite that is often frequented by the most powerful individuals in Ul'dah. He is less capable with Triple Triad as it is less a game of chance, and sometimes will tilt the odds in his favor by adding the Random ruleset so his luck kicks in.

== Abilities and Skills ==

=== '''''Personal''''' ===

*Howl is an able and agile fistfighter. Although he sometimes carries claw-style weapons, he only uses fists or cesti when fighting a person instead of fiends.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===

*Howl is extremely skilled at hand-to-hand fighting, and reasonably skilled with the lance, although he seems greatly reluctant to use one.

=== '''''Magic''''' ===

*Howl has learned the Nymian arts, but reads at a secondary school level. As such, he is proficient but not very fast, capable of only rough field triage, and he can hardly be considered a natural.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===

*Howl is a proficient Goldsmith and enjoys making jewelry. He can cook only the simplest meals.

== Affiliations ==

*Howl is not affiliated with any specific Free Company or Grand Company, although he has done occasional freelance work for the Immortal Flames.

== Relationships ==

[[Warren Castille]]
Howl and Warren are closer than brothers, and one is rarely seen in public without the other, save for when Warren is on duty. They typically show up in tandem to the Grindstone tournaments and have similar luck (or lack thereof) in the competitions. They seem capable of near-telepathic communication, a single glance oftentimes expressing whole thoughts. Howl has risked himself time and time again for Warren, and Warren has done the same. Recently, it's become more public knowledge that Howl has feelings for Warren that seem to be on some level reciprocated. Howl lives with Warren in an undisclosed location that seems to be near Ul'dah.

[[Xhosa Tauzeh]]
Howl is one of Xhosa's many admirers. He greatly looks up to the Keeper lady and respects her wisdom and strength. He once worked for her entertainment troupe as a guard. He has opened up to her more than to any other person save Warren. Her recent disappearance has him greatly concerned.

[[Renae Lecuyer]]
Howl considers this stoic Wildwood to be a good friend, although he secretly thinks that she could take him in a fight. He is apparently incapable of keeping secrets from her, as she can take one look at him and tell whatever he's attempting to hide. The two seemed to go through a rough patch where she expressed interest in him, but ended up turning to another within a few days, an experience that affected Howl far more deeply than he thought it would. Although after a few moons apart, they recently began speaking again, the prolonged distance seems to have left permanent marks on his behavior.

[[Leanne Delphium]]
Howl is fond of the girl with the fancy hat and sees her as a younger sister type. Although she doesn't seem to need his protection, he tends to act as such toward her and cheerfully threatened her mate, [[Roysia Stone]], with unpleasant things should Leanne get hurt.

[[Chachanji Gegenji]]
Howl is one of many who is drawn to Chachanji's open, childlike personality. As with Leanne, although Chachan seems perfectly capable of taking care of himself, Howl feels the need to keep a protective eye on him, perhaps because of Chachan's close bond to Warren.

[[Iron Sea]]
Howl is drawn in some strange way to Iron, although it seems to be largely one-sided. He has endeavored to teach the large Roegadyn that not all battles are fought with fists and weapons, and that sometimes yielding can bring about a victory, but Howl's methods of teaching don't seem to be making much of an impact on Iron Sea's worldview. Despite that, Howl greatly seems to value Iron's companionship and presence in his life. Iron Sea's disappearance left Howl concerned, but he seems to have found some method of communication with the reclusive Roegadyn, and isn't allowing him to vanish entirely from his life.

[[Seimei Ikari]]
Known to Howl as "Snow," the pseudonym by which she was called during their time training together to become dragoons, Howl seems to share a bond with Sei that makes him uneasy. Those who know them both can see a certain physical similarity in that they each now have a black-colored eye that they did not have before.

== Rumors and Quotes ==

'''''Known to many'''''
*''Oh, that guy? Gifted by the gods he is - never seems to lose at dice!'' -Garrulous Gambler
*''Seems like he never shows up 'cept to bug the big guy in the armor when he's at his duties.'' -Despondent Drunkard
*''Pretty girls at the Grindstone always seem to have his number!'' -Fight-Night Fanatic

'''''Known to some'''''
*''Heard his tribe got wiped out. But where was he? Oughtn't he be out there protecting them?'' -Persistent Pouter
*''Vanished for a good moon some time ago. Came back weird if you ask me. Something's funny with him now.'' -Grumbling Gladiator
*''He keeps bothering me for information on ancient Nymian rituals, as if I have the time to teach a complete novice something that complicated - and dangerous!'' -Antisocial Arcanist

'''''Known to few'''''
*''Typical one of those Ha idiots. Always looking up at the stars and not focusing on what's really important. Something funny about how he became a nunh too, from what I heard.'' -Suspicious S-Tia
*''Yeah, him, he went up to Coerthas to save some tart from killing herself. They both came back, but I can't say he succeeded.'' -Grinning Gossipmonger
*''Can't tell whether he's with the paladin, or the white-haired girl. Know which one I'd choose if I had to pick 'tween the two.'' -Ranting Roegadyn

'''''Player Rumors'''''
*"He's my best friend and I'd do anything for him. Honestly, I don't know what I'd've done without him, or what I'd do. I'm going to make sure I never have to find out, though." -[[Warren Castille]]
*"He is friends with the Free Paladin what used to come here often. If by 'friends' you mean 'motherly'." -[[Coatleque Crofte]]
*"Ah! Mr. Howl! He 'n Ser Warren are the bestest buddies, I always see 'em together. I'm tryin' ta be a good frand fer him, too, since at times it looks like he's got a lot on his plate." - [[Chachanji Gegenji]]
*"You know... he is quite the fighter, but a simple kiss seems to make him go weak all over!" - [[Aya Foxheart]]
*"Although he is strong indeed, he acts strange around me. A weird man... He's very different from SerSei." - [[Virara Wakuwa]]
*"Sir Howl? He's a good friend and I owe him for even the small amount of trust that he's given me. Even if it means the end of my life, I'll do whatever it takes to help him." - [[John Waterstrike]]

== The Grindstone ==
Every week the Grindstone sees Howl and [[Warren Castille]] arrive together to compete, and every week sees them eat dirt as they scrub out in the first round. Traditionally, they get drunk together afterwards to ease the pain of losing, though the one time Warren won, they got drunk together afterwards anyway.

Howl has begun assisting with Overseeing at the Grindstone instead of participating as a fighter. He occasionally helps heal as well.

Howl has reached the finals six times and has won once. He also regularly competes in Otto Vann's club for pugilistic fighting, and won that competition once as well.

He doesn't keep track of his current record as that would be far too depressing.

== Current Events ==
Howl vanished from the Grindstone shortly after Warren took over as Arbiter, and only appears occasionally, an absence that seems to be connected to difficulties with [[Renae Lecuyer]]. Although he makes some public appearances at events such as date auctions or festivals, something is subtlely different in his behavior, and he has begun smoking, both a small pipe and a water pipe in his room. It seems only a concerted effort by Warren is able to draw him more out of his shell and get him out and circulating in public again.

==History/Timeline==
Kestlona is the youngest of 4 children born to mother Koelkonea Guhtgeiwyn and father Wallknod Marmabylsyn. Even though she was the only girl in the lot, it didn’t stop her from following in her father’s footsteps, rod in hand to help catch fish. Wallknod soon had the young girl taking the smaller boat to Limsa with messages for extra supplies, or so what her father told her. Some of the messages would be passed on to either Yellowjacket command or on to the maelstrom.

Though her father began to teach her blade work at 12 years of age, she soon found her first teacher in a Midlander puglist named Alex Turner. He had regaled the lass with tales of his travels, guiding her through her first punches, and also teaching her languages. ‘We under Oschon’s guidance are more arrive of the power of spoken words,’ he would tell her. ‘Listening and watching as we travel, learning to speak as the same as those in new lands.’

At 22, Kestlona, with a small pack on her back, gave good-bye to her family and to Limsa, she took to her own wander’s path. She made her way to Ul’dah, to beginning full training as a puglist. She also have been working at the miner guild but still wish to do more for her adoptive city.

For 2 years Kestlona live in Ul'dah, learning the city as best she could, and helping when able. To make extra Gil, she took up Mining and odd jobs from the Quicksand, all the while trying to join the Flames as a way to help more people. She was finally added as an Ul'dah soldier in service of the Flames. It is during this time the her CEO realize that she fit too well with too many people, even noticing that her Limsa's accent even change when she interacted with someone that had a different accent. Though she protested that she was unable to read, he also notice the book that she keep with her. He pass this information on to his Commander. While she was out with the other soldiers, he had her room search, coming up with detail maps of Ul'dah and the surround land, routes of Amalj'aa patrol as well as were Flames or Brass Blade could intercept them. The most interesting was the books, hand written with what look to be translation work on both the Amalj'aa's language and the Sahagin's language as well. Instead of confronting Kestlona, he added this new information into her profile and pass on to his commander. It was several months later that her and other's profiles were pulled and sent on to Erik Mynhier.

She only meet her new Captain during the Royal Ball and still thinks that it a First Respond Unit for the Flames. While at the Ball, she receive a linkpearl call from her teacher Alex. It turn out he got himself involve in the Dragonsong war. He was trying to get Medical supplies up but refused her coming to help. That worry has compounded when she was in Little Ala Mihgo and found out that he may have turn his back on he comrades and flee the battle field. She is unsure on what that means for her and the training that she went through with him and how to tell her Captain that she might be a risk to her unit and to her new home of Ul'dah as well.

===Echo Memories===
(This is where those that have the echo can see what memories Kestlona carries with her if you interact with her. This section will be updates periodical.)

“Kestlona,” her father’s voice call to her from the other side of the boat. Blinking in surprise, she quickly gather her line in, and sitting it in the rack on the rail. She moves over to where her father was scribbling on a piece of paper. “Here,” he said, handing the folded paper to her, “take ‘his to Baderon.”

“More supplies?” she ask, stuffing the paper into her vest pocket. She look up to see her dad had the spy glass up. She follow the direction and could just make out sails in the distance.

“Fish running hard so might be out here a while,” he said. “Make the sail back quick. Let Baderon know to send one of his friends out with the supplies.”

The boat to shore wasn’t long and she deliver the message to Baderon. “Seems you Pa got himself a school.” He moved over to hyur in red, spoke some words to him and the other ran out of the Wretch. “Now then, what you be wanting to drink lass while we wait?”

“Can’t stay. Pa will probably want me back on the boat to help haul in…”

“Lona, there you are…” a voice call out from a nearby table. “Just go in and not even a hi or bye.” She turn to find the older midlander waving her over so missed the grateful smile Baderon gave to the blond man.

“ALEX!” she cry out, rushing over to the table, trying to duck out of the way as the hyuran ruffled her hair. It didn’t take long for the blond to get Kestlona distracted. It was several hours later that her pa was brought in, a freshly dress bandage around his head. “Wallknod,” standing quickly even as Kestlona rush to her father side.

“Pa, what happen…”

“Ah, it’s ‘othing,” her pa said. Waving the pair off, “Wasn’t watching me footing when the fish I haul in back hand me.” -memory fade

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

=== '''''Flaws''''' ===

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

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

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

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

== Affiliations ==

*Warren is not affiliated with any specific Company. Recent events have had him questioning his allegiance and ties to the Sultansworn of Ul'dah, feeling his methods and ideologies no longer compliment the Order.

::*[[Xhosa Tauzeh]]: "Warren Castille is a wonderful man and a good friend to me. If ever I have need of him, I feel I can rely on him to be there. In return, if he is harmed or defamed, I will arrange such utter and extensive ruination that only passing through the Gates of Thal might offer some relief to what is left of the offender."

::*[[John Waterstrike]]: "Sir Warren? He's was kind enough to let me...a novice healer, to help with injuries at the Grindstone. I don't ever want to lose that trust."

== General Stuff ==
Under construction! About time I overhauled some of this junk.

== The Grindstone ==
For many, many weeks the Grindstone saw Warren Castille and his best friend, [[Ha'uruh Nunh]] arrive to compete in the Grindstone, and every week saw Warren and Howl eat dirt as they scrubbed out in the first round. The two always seemed upbeat about it, though, and appeared more interested in the camaraderie than actually winning. Most of the time.

During his time as a fighter, Warren managed to establish a losing record of 11-13 and managed to win the Grindstone twice.

The past several moons have seen Warren participating at the Grindstone in a different capacity. While he once stood in line before the iconic rock awaiting his chance to test himself, he now stands atop it and helps to lead the Grindstone's operations. Recent weeks have bolstered his confidence in assuming the mantle of the Arbiter, and he works hard to maintain the integrity and the spirit of the competition.

== Current Events ==
Recent time has witnessed Warren settling into the married life with his newly-wedded wife [[Sei Castille]]. For once, things seem mostly quiet on the home front! However, various things in [[Ha'uruh Nunh]]'s life has led to some tension and emotional turmoil in his male miqo'te companion. Warren has been trying to take care of the needs of his miqo'te and has also seemingly turned over a new leaf at the Grindstone, acting as the Arbiter until a new one claims the title.

==Character==
===General===
Kest or Lona to close friends is quick with a smile or a laugh. She is a Fisherman daughter, with 3 older brothers. Growing up, she was the one to ask to run ‘important’ messages up to the Adventures Guild. Most adventurers were eager to tell tales, letting some of them train her, and becoming more determined to follow in their footsteps.

Once Kest reach her 20’s, she headed to Ul’dah to master her skills as a Puglist, in hope that she could do just a little to help.

===Appearance===
Kest has green hair, some of it bleach out from her time on the boats, helping her father with the fishing. Part of her hair on the right side is tied into a side ponytail while on the left is a small portion braided. Her eyes have an almost seagreen color to them. Faint gray stripes run across her right eye and on the center of her forehead she has the crest of her family tattoo, to remind her that even has she wanders this path, to not forget those that has guided her on the way.

===Personality===
Kest is quick to give a smile to those she meets, ready to lean a hand if need be. Often times, she slips into Lominsan if embarrassed or has become comfortable around the person. Her temper can get the best of her but she tries to keep it reign in, knowing that the control is her best bet in her fighting.

==History/Timeline==
Kestlona is the youngest of 4 children born to mother Koelkonea Guhtgeiwyn and father Wallknod Marmabylsyn. Even though she was the only girl in the lot, it didn’t stop her from following in her father’s footsteps, rod in hand to help catch fish. Wallknod soon had the young girl taking the smaller boat to Limsa with messages for extra supplies, or so what her father told her. Some of the messages would be passed on to either Yellowjacket command or on to the maelstrom.

Though her father began to teach her blade work at 12 years of age, she soon found her first teacher in a Midlander puglist named Alex Turner. He had regaled the lass with tales of his travels, guiding her through her first punches, and also teaching her languages. ‘We under Oschon’s guidance are more arrive of the power of spoken words,’ he would tell her. ‘Listening and watching as we travel, learning to speak as the same as those in new lands.’

At 22, Kestlona, with a small pack on her back, gave good-bye to her family and to Limsa, she took to her own wander’s path. She made her way to Ul’dah, to beginning full training as a puglist. She also have been working at the miner guild but still wish to do more for her adoptive city.

===Echo Memories===
(This is where those that have the echo can see what memories Kestlona carries with her if you interact with her. This section will be updates periodical.)

“Kestlona,” her father’s voice call to her from the other side of the boat. Blinking in surprise, she quickly gather her line in, and sitting it in the rack on the rail. She moves over to where her father was scribbling on a piece of paper. “Here,” he said, handing the folded paper to her, “take ‘his to Baderon.”

“More supplies?” she ask, stuffing the paper into her vest pocket. She look up to see her dad had the spy glass up. She follow the direction and could just make out sails in the distance.

“Fish running hard so might be out here a while,” he said. “Make the sail back quick. Let Baderon know to send one of his friends out with the supplies.”

The boat to shore wasn’t long and she deliver the message to Baderon. “Seems you Pa got himself a school.” He moved over to hyur in red, spoke some words to him and the other ran out of the Wretch. “Now then, what you be wanting to drink lass while we wait?”

“Can’t stay. Pa will probably want me back on the boat to help haul in…”

“Lona, there you are…” a voice call out from a nearby table. “Just go in and not even a hi or bye.” She turn to find the older midlander waving her over so missed the grateful smile Baderon gave to the blond man.

“ALEX!” she cry out, rushing over to the table, trying to duck out of the way as the hyuran ruffled her hair. It didn’t take long for the blond to get Kestlona distracted. It was several hours later that her pa was brought in, a freshly dress bandage around his head. “Wallknod,” standing quickly even as Kestlona rush to her father side.

“Pa, what happen…”

“Ah, it’s ‘othing,” her pa said. Waving the pair off, “Wasn’t watching me footing when the fish I haul in back hand me.” -memory fade
