<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #000000;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px black;letter-

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Born as "Scath'a Vahnax", to a pair of Garlean sympathizers in hiding near a Xaela clan in the Far East, Aether was groomed to be special. When he came of age, he was inducted into the garrison of a local Garlean outpost due to his mystical affinity. He discovered he could change his face with magic; appearing as anyone he wished. Groomed as a skilled Thaumaturge as well as trained in swordsmanship and subterfuge, Aether was deployed against rebel Doman cells, tasked with infiltrating their ranks and assassinating key leaders of the resistance.

When several refugee ships arrived in Eorzea, Aether was among them, disguised as a refugee himself. His particular target went to the Twelveswood, where he continued stalking his prey... until he made a grave error attempting to contact a more local Garlean Outpost. He was seen by his own kind, the refugees, and they fell upon him, their leader carving a deep butterfly scar into his cheek and throwing him into Haukke Manor as punishment, intending the Voidsent inside to devour him.

Aether, however, did not die. Tormented, bled, and driven to madness, Aether's mind all but snapped, his memory hidden in the depths of his mind and his brains reduced to almost animalistic tendencies. His escape found himself hacking his way through voidsent, bathing in their blood, their very essence seeping into him; eventually, in later months, this would manifest as a minor link with a voidsent, and certain knowledge seeping into his mind allowing him access to void-spellwork. Eventually found by a pair of Lalafel brothers, Aether began his new life, taking "Aether Landon" as a false name. His first home was among an Au Ra tribe; it was only a shortlived home, but it holds a fond place in his heart. His second home came in the form of a criminal guild; after various extenuating circumstances, Aether left them behind, hoping to find his own path free of outside influence. Now he gathers allies, friends, and foes alike under his banner... </div></div>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #000000;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px black;letter-

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Standing six foot two, extremely tall for his race, Aether's skin is obviously tanned from hours spent in the sun but is also curiously ashen; a callback to his heritage as well as how he has forsaken the ways of his people. His hair is a wild mane of dark blue, with reddish streaks flowing through it. His torso is covered in a network of tattoos, which ignite with mystic light when he casts magic. His face is, in a word, attractive, yet carries a single hideous mar; a burn, a brand, in the shape of a butterfly, carved into his very flesh. His mischievous eyes are a burning gold, always watching your every move. </div>

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Aspects That Stand Out: </div>
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''Butterfly Scar on his cheek.''</div></div>
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''Smaller scars along his back.''</div></div>
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''Ornate tattoo-work along his lower torso and arms.''</div></div>

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;"></div>

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Aether is a very complicated man when it comes to his personality; When you meet him, you might think him probing, sly, and with a habit of talking a big game. If you see him interacting with his guildmates, you might think him a no-nonsense heckler with a penchant for the sadistic. But when you get to know him, you will see he has quite a bit of kindness, understanding, and even a tad bit of vulnerability left inside of him, especially on an emotional level. This is in juxtaposition to his previous manner. Aether used to be a man who was ruled by his passions, swayed this way and that by his own whims... Until his emotions led him to being collared like an animal. Since that day, much changed within him, and he made one simple vow: "never again." Since his overcoming of his past traumas, Aether has become a much more stable and introspective individual. Where once he would leap into action based on emotion and raw passion, he is now considerably more cunning and calculative, even when apparently in the grip of more violent emotions. </div>

<div align=center><table style="position:center;" width="90%">
<tr>
<td style="width: 33%;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #000000;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px black"><center>'''L I K E S'''</center></div></h3>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Reading'''. Whether it is about specific spell-forms and vertex angles, or perhaps the historical record of Eorzea, or even a cheap romance novel from a shady dealer in Ul'Dah, Aether LOVES books of all kinds. It even inspired him to work on his own spellbook; a Grimoire of all his magical studies and talents.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Water'''. Despite the traditional thought of cats disliking water, Aether spent nearly a month without a home, taking shelter in Costa Del Sol in a small cave on the beach. Occasionally, he will return there, to use his waterside hole as a retreat for meditation and swimming.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Revenge'''. Justice is a dish best served cold, but vengence is full of flaming hot passion. Aether won't forget those who wronged him... He may occasionally forgive. But he'll never forget. Beware, those who choose to make an enemy.</font></div>

<td style="width: 33%;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;"><h3><span class="mw-headline">
<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #000000;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px black"><center>'''D I S L I K E S'''</center></div></span></h3>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Slavery'''. Aether cannot abide slavery; he's done his share of unsavory deeds, murders, thefts, and corpse-robbing, but if he sees a slave he will do everything in his power to help them... even to his own detriment.</font></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''His Ears and Tail'''. Aether absolutely cannot stand his ears and tail; oversensetized due to harsh Garlean training in his formative years, they are considerable points of weakness for the black mage, and many times Aether has considered simply removing them.</font></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Void Creatures'''. Aether, ironically, absolutely detests creatures of the void. Why then, did he choose to pursue the Void's secrets? He believes that if he can harness the Void's power, then someday, creatures from the void will hold no power over him... nor any of those he cares for. And perhaps, someday, he can put the reoccuring demons that haunt Haukke Manor to rest as well...</font></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#000000;">'''Fighting'''. It is no secret that Aether likes a good fight; whether it be with every tool at his disposal, or if it be simple fists. The fighting rings in Ul'Dah occasionally see him stop by to test himself.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Gambling'''. Aether has a guilty pleasure of gambling; he can occasionally be seen in the Gold Saucer, swindling away gil from others... but mostly getting his own gil taken instead. </font></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Combat Adept'''. Being trained by the Garlean Military as well as delving into voidal magic tends to leave one a bit... dangerous. Aether is highly capable in combat and will sometimes even prefer a violent solution, even when a reasonable alternative is available.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Trained Focus'''. If Aether decides to do something, he's going to do it. It would take a miracle, or a thourough thrashing from someone he respects, to change his mind.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Information Gatherer'''. Not only does Aether have contacts in multiple guilds, but he also employs the services of a few very valuable spies...</font></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Headstrong Personality'''. Playing off of his strength of focus, it can also be a substantial detriment to him. Aether can be known to get in over his head, requiring others to come to his aid. Of course, if no one is around to help him...</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Touched by the Void'''. Aether's time in Haukke Manor left him touched by the void, tormented by its most evil denizens. As a result, a minor Voidsent in the form of an Ahriman has latched on to him. Its presence, however, can violently affect his mental state, causing mood swings and other sorts of violent outbursts.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''City Boy'''. Aether was raised in Doma. After his time spent with the Garlean Military, he was then almost always sent to-and-fro through cities; as a result, he almost never spends extensive time in the wilderness aside from normal travelling. Things such as tracking, finding fresh water, hunting, and other wilderness survival skills, are mostly unknown to Aether.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Poison Sensetive'''. Aether suffers from a rare condition that makes him extremely sensetive to ingested toxins and poisons. He must even be careful with certain medicines and healing potions that he does not 'overuse', else he can suffer violent consequences.</font></div>

<td style="width: 33%;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;"><h3><span class="mw-headline">

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">''Revenge, or Justice?''' - Aether's primary motivation is, at its core, revenge. It is very easy for the Miqote male to mistake vengence for justice, and he absolutely believes that what he's doing is just. Vengence against those who cause the situation in Ul'Dah to become worse, as well as vengence against those who cause those he cares about to suffer. It is a form of hipocrisy; Aether is doing wrong himself, by seeking his own vengence, and his cycle of blood for blood will likely come to no good end.</font></div>

Aether believed him to be his little brother, and Matt was quite happy to allow this illusion to continue even after they both knew the truth. Aether and Matt had a falling out over a woman, and Aether only rarely hears from him now.</div>

Eventually, their feelings cooled off to the point of near-hate. She was assassinated when the Garlean's recieved word that Aether was not only still alive after failing his mission in Gridania, but that he had not reported back.

His father is the one who sent him into Garlean military service, and he did not take care of Aether's wife when Aether was away. Aether's father had sold information on any "rebels" living in Doma to the Garlean garrison. Aether plans to someday return home to Doma... and kill him. </div>

In the end, Aether decided to leave the clan, realizing that it was a place he would never truly belong. The two of them met, a few months later, to discover that they weren't so different after all.

However, since then, Ongaku has proven to be somewhat of a challenge for the voidmage; a foil for him, if you will. Aether both nurtures a slight rivalry with him (in his head, of course) as well as a grudging respect for his abilities. Ongaku and Aether had an odd falling out not long ago, and Aether dismissed him from his service as his bodyguard, relagating his duties entirely to Mokhol.</div>

| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px;">Aether and Sarnai ended up as enemies when the two of them ended up falling for the same woman. At the end of the day, the woman rejected them both, leaving them collared as slaves with a physical link; what happened to one, happened to the other. Physical intimacies erupted rather violently after that, and the two of them tumbled head over heels despite their former enmity. However, Sarnai refused to give up on the woman who had spurned them both, leaving Aether heartbroken. Aether and her have since broken contact, and only rarely see one another in the street.</div>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #000000;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px black;letter-

spacing:0.2em;"><center>GENERAL INFORMATION</center></div></span></h3>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Born as "Scath'a Vahnax", to a pair of Garlean sympathizers in hiding near a Xaela clan in the Far East, Aether was groomed to be special. When he came of age, he was inducted into the garrison of a local Garlean outpost due to his mystical affinity. He discovered he could change his face with magic; appearing as anyone he wished. Groomed as a skilled Thaumaturge as well as trained in swordsmanship and subterfuge, Aether was deployed against rebel Doman cells, tasked with infiltrating their ranks and assassinating key leaders of the resistance.

When several refugee ships arrived in Eorzea, Aether was among them, disguised as a refugee himself. His particular target went to the Twelveswood, where he continued stalking his prey... until he made a grave error attempting to contact a more local Garlean Outpost. He was seen by his own kind, the refugees, and they fell upon him, their leader carving a deep butterfly scar into his cheek and throwing him into Haukke Manor as punishment, intending the Voidsent inside to devour him.

Aether, however, did not die. Tormented, bled, and driven to madness, Aether's mind all but snapped, his memory hidden in the depths of his mind and his brains reduced to almost animalistic tendencies. His escape found himself hacking his way through voidsent, bathing in their blood, their very essence seeping into him; eventually, in later months, this would manifest as a minor link with a voidsent, and certain knowledge seeping into his mind allowing him access to void-spellwork. Eventually found by a pair of Lalafel brothers, Aether began his new life, taking "Aether Landon" as a false name. His first home was among an Au Ra tribe; it was only a shortlived home, but it holds a fond place in his heart. His second home came in the form of a criminal guild; after various extenuating circumstances, Aether left them behind, hoping to find his own path free of outside influence. Now he gathers allies, friends, and foes alike under his banner... </div></div>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #000000;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px black;letter-

spacing:0.2em;"><center>APPEARANCE</center></div></span></h3>

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Standing six foot two, extremely tall for his race, Aether's skin is obviously tanned from hours spent in the sun but is also curiously ashen; a callback to his heritage as well as how he has forsaken the ways of his people. His hair is a wild mane of dark blue, with reddish streaks flowing through it. His torso is covered in a network of tattoos, which ignite with mystic light when he casts magic. His face is, in a word, attractive, yet carries a single hideous mar; a burn, a brand, in the shape of a butterfly, carved into his very flesh. His mischievous eyes are a burning gold, always watching your every move. </div>

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;"></div>

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Aether is a very complicated man when it comes to his personality; When you meet him, you might think him probing, sly, and with a habit of talking a big game. If you see him interacting with his guildmates, you might think him a no-nonsense heckler with a penchant for the sadistic. But when you get to know him, you will see he has quite a bit of kindness, understanding, and even a tad bit of vulnerability left inside of him, especially on an emotional level. This is in juxtaposition to his previous manner. Aether used to be a man who was ruled by his passions, swayed this way and that by his own whims... Until his emotions led him to being collared like an animal. Since that day, much changed within him, and he made one simple vow: "never again." Since his overcoming of his past traumas, Aether has become a much more stable and introspective individual. Where once he would leap into action based on emotion and raw passion, he is now considerably more cunning and calculative, even when apparently in the grip of more violent emotions. </div>

<div align=center><table style="position:center;" width="90%">
<tr>
<td style="width: 33%;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #000000;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px black"><center>'''L I K E S'''</center></div></h3>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Reading'''. Whether it is about specific spell-forms and vertex angles, or perhaps the historical record of Eorzea, or even a cheap romance novel from a shady dealer in Ul'Dah, Aether LOVES books of all kinds. It even inspired him to work on his own spellbook; a Grimoire of all his magical studies and talents.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Water'''. Despite the traditional thought of cats disliking water, Aether spent nearly a month without a home, taking shelter in Costa Del Sol in a small cave on the beach. Occasionally, he will return there, to use his waterside hole as a retreat for meditation and swimming.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Revenge'''. Justice is a dish best served cold, but vengence is full of flaming hot passion. Aether won't forget those who wronged him... He may occasionally forgive. But he'll never forget. Beware, those who choose to make an enemy.</font></div>

<td style="width: 33%;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;"><h3><span class="mw-headline">

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Slavery'''. Aether cannot abide slavery; he's done his share of unsavory deeds, murders, thefts, and corpse-robbing, but if he sees a slave he will do everything in his power to help them... even to his own detriment.</font></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''His Ears and Tail'''. Aether absolutely cannot stand his ears and tail; oversensetized due to harsh Garlean training in his formative years, they are considerable points of weakness for the black mage, and many times Aether has considered simply removing them.</font></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Void Creatures'''. Aether, ironically, absolutely detests creatures of the void. Why then, did he choose to pursue the Void's secrets? He believes that if he can harness the Void's power, then someday, creatures from the void will hold no power over him... nor any of those he cares for. And perhaps, someday, he can put the reoccuring demons that haunt Haukke Manor to rest as well...</font></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#000000;">'''Fighting'''. It is no secret that Aether likes a good fight; whether it be with every tool at his disposal, or if it be simple fists. The fighting rings in Ul'Dah occasionally see him stop by to test himself.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Gambling'''. Aether has a guilty pleasure of gambling; he can occasionally be seen in the Gold Saucer, swindling away gil from others... but mostly getting his own gil taken instead. </font></div>

Aether's time in Haukke Manor left him touched by the void, tormented by its most evil denizens. As a result, a minor Voidsent in the form of an Ahriman has latched on to him. Its presence, however, can violently affect his mental state, causing mood swings and other sorts of violent outbursts.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''City Boy'''. Aether was raised in Doma. After his time spent with the Garlean Military, he was then almost always sent to-and-fro through cities; as a result, he almost never spends extensive time in the wilderness aside from normal travelling. Things such as tracking, finding fresh water, hunting, and other wilderness survival skills, are mostly unknown to Aether.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Poison Sensetive'''. Aether suffers from a rare condition that makes him extremely sensetive to ingested toxins and poisons. He must even be careful with certain medicines and healing potions that he does not 'overuse', else he can suffer violent consequences.</font></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">''Revenge, or Justice?''' - Aether's primary motivation is, at its core, revenge. It is very easy for the Miqote male to mistake vengence for justice, and he absolutely believes that what he's doing is just. Vengence against those who cause the situation in Ul'Dah to become worse, as well as vengence against those who cause those he cares about to suffer. It is a form of hipocrisy; Aether is doing wrong himself, by seeking his own vengence, and his cycle of blood for blood will likely come to no good end.</font></div>

Aether believed him to be his little brother, and Matt was quite happy to allow this illusion to continue even after they both knew the truth. Aether and Matt had a falling out over a woman, and Aether only rarely hears from him now.</div>

Eventually, their feelings cooled off to the point of near-hate. She was assassinated when the Garlean's recieved word that Aether was not only still alive after failing his mission in Gridania, but that he had not reported back.

His father is the one who sent him into Garlean military service, and he did not take care of Aether's wife when Aether was away. Aether's father had sold information on any "rebels" living in Doma to the Garlean garrison. Aether plans to someday return home to Doma... and kill him. </div>

They initially met in a Xaela clan early in Aether's recovery, when his longing for familiar sights from the Far East drove him to an Au Ra clan. The two of them quarrelled, quite excessively. In the end, Aether decided to leave the clan, realizing that it was a place he would never truly belong. The two of them met, a few months later, to discover that they weren't so different after all. Since then, she has proven true to her word, serving as his second in command. The two of them are close, and trust one another implicitly.</div>

However, since then, Ongaku has proven to be somewhat of a challenge for the voidmage; a foil for him, if you will. Aether both nurtures a slight rivalry with him (in his head, of course) as well as a grudging respect for his abilities.</div>

Physical intimacies erupted rather violently after that, and the two of them tumbled head over heels despite their former enmity. However, Sarnai refused to give up on the woman who had spurned them both, leaving Aether heartbroken. Aether and her have since broken contact, and only rarely see one another in the street.</div>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #000000;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px black;letter-

spacing:0.2em;"><center>GENERAL INFORMATION</center></div></span></h3>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Born as "Scath'a Vahnax", to a pair of Garlean sympathizers in hiding near a Xaela clan in the Far East, Aether was groomed to be special. When he came of age, he was inducted into the garrison of a local Garlean outpost due to his mystical affinity. He discovered he could change his face with magic; appearing as anyone he wished. Groomed as a skilled Thaumaturge as well as trained in swordsmanship and subterfuge, Aether was deployed against rebel Doman cells, tasked with infiltrating their ranks and assassinating key leaders of the resistance.

When several refugee ships arrived in Eorzea, Aether was among them, disguised as a refugee himself. His particular target went to the Twelveswood, where he continued stalking his prey... until he made a grave error attempting to contact a more local Garlean Outpost. He was seen by his own kind, the refugees, and they fell upon him, their leader carving a deep butterfly scar into his cheek and throwing him into Haukke Manor as punishment, intending the Voidsent inside to devour him.

Aether, however, did not die. Tormented, bled, and driven to madness, Aether's mind all but snapped, his memory hidden in the depths of his mind and his brains reduced to almost animalistic tendencies. His escape found himself hacking his way through voidsent, bathing in their blood, their very essence seeping into him; eventually, in later months, this would manifest as a minor link with a voidsent, and certain knowledge seeping into his mind allowing him access to void-spellwork. Eventually found by a pair of Lalafel brothers, Aether began his new life, taking "Aether Landon" as a false name. His first home was among an Au Ra tribe; it was only a shortlived home, but it holds a fond place in his heart. His second home came in the form of a criminal guild; after various extenuating circumstances, Aether left them behind, hoping to find his own path free of outside influence. Now he gathers allies, friends, and foes alike under his banner... </div></div>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #000000;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px black;letter-

spacing:0.2em;"><center>APPEARANCE</center></div></span></h3>

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Standing six foot two, extremely tall for his race, Aether's skin is obviously tanned from hours spent in the sun but is also curiously ashen; a callback to his heritage as well as how he has forsaken the ways of his people. His hair is a wild mane of dark blue, with reddish streaks flowing through it. His torso is covered in a network of tattoos, which ignite with mystic light when he casts magic. His face is, in a word, attractive, yet carries a single hideous mar; a burn, a brand, in the shape of a butterfly, carved into his very flesh. His mischievous eyes are a burning gold, always watching your every move. </div>

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Aspects That Stand Out: </div>

:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''Smaller scars along his back.''</div></div>

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;"></div>

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Aether is a very complicated man when it comes to his personality; When you meet him, you might think him probing, sly, and with a habit of talking a big game. If you see him interacting with his guildmates, you might think him a no-nonsense heckler with a penchant for the sadistic. But when you get to know him, you will see he has quite a bit of kindness, understanding, and even a tad bit of vulnerability left inside of him, especially on an emotional level. This is in juxtaposition to his previous manner. Aether used to be a man who was ruled by his passions, swayed this way and that by his own whims... Until his emotions led him to being collared like an animal. Since that day, much changed within him, and he made one simple vow: "never again." Since his overcoming of his past traumas, Aether has become a much more stable and introspective individual. Where once he would leap into action based on emotion and raw passion, he is now considerably more cunning and calculative, even when apparently in the grip of more violent emotions. </div>

<div align=center><table style="position:center;" width="90%">
<tr>
<td style="width: 33%;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #000000;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px black"><center>'''L I K E S'''</center></div></h3>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Reading'''. Whether it is about specific spell-forms and vertex angles, or perhaps the historical record of Eorzea, or even a cheap romance novel from a shady dealer in Ul'Dah, Aether LOVES books of all kinds. It even inspired him to work on his own spellbook; a Grimoire of all his magical studies and talents.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Water'''. Despite the traditional thought of cats disliking water, Aether spent nearly a month without a home, taking shelter in Costa Del Sol in a small cave on the beach. Occasionally, he will return there, to use his waterside hole as a retreat for meditation and swimming.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Revenge'''. Justice is a dish best served cold, but vengence is full of flaming hot passion. Aether won't forget those who wronged him... He may occasionally forgive. But he'll never forget. Beware, those who choose to make an enemy.</font></div>

<td style="width: 33%;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;"><h3><span class="mw-headline">
<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #000000;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px black"><center>'''D I S L I K E S'''</center></div></span></h3>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Slavery'''. Aether cannot abide slavery; he's done his share of unsavory deeds, murders, thefts, and corpse-robbing, but if he sees a slave he will do everything in his power to help them... even to his own detriment.</font></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''His Ears and Tail'''. Aether absolutely cannot stand his ears and tail; oversensetized due to harsh Garlean training in his formative years, they are considerable points of weakness for the black mage, and many times Aether has considered simply removing them.</font></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Void Creatures'''. Aether, ironically, absolutely detests creatures of the void. Why then, did he choose to pursue the Void's secrets? He believes that if he can harness the Void's power, then someday, creatures from the void will hold no power over him... nor any of those he cares for. And perhaps, someday, he can put the reoccuring demons that haunt Haukke Manor to rest as well...</font></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#000000;">'''Fighting'''. It is no secret that Aether likes a good fight; whether it be with every tool at his disposal, or if it be simple fists. The fighting rings in Ul'Dah occasionally see him stop by to test himself.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Gambling'''. Aether has a guilty pleasure of gambling; he can occasionally be seen in the Gold Saucer, swindling away gil from others... but mostly getting his own gil taken instead. </font></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Combat Adept'''. Being trained by the Garlean Military as well as delving into voidal magic tends to leave one a bit... dangerous. Aether is highly capable in combat and will sometimes even prefer a violent solution, even when a reasonable alternative is available.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Trained Focus'''. If Aether decides to do something, he's going to do it. It would take a miracle, or a thourough thrashing from someone he respects, to change his mind.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Information Gatherer'''. Not only does Aether have contacts in multiple guilds, but he also employs the services of a few very valuable spies...</font></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Headstrong Personality'''. Playing off of his strength of focus, it can also be a substantial detriment to him. Aether can be known to get in over his head, requiring others to come to his aid. Of course, if no one is around to help him...</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''Touched by the Void'''. Aether's time in Haukke Manor left him touched by the void, tormented by its most evil denizens. As a result, a minor Voidsent in the form of an Ahriman has latched on to him. Its presence, however, can violently affect his mental state, causing mood swings and other sorts of violent outbursts.</font></div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">'''City Boy'''. Aether was raised in Doma. After his time spent with the Garlean Military, he was then almost always sent to-and-fro through cities; as a result, he almost never spends extensive time in the wilderness aside from normal travelling. Things such as tracking, finding fresh water, hunting, and other wilderness survival skills, are mostly unknown to Aether.</font></div>

<td style="width: 33%;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;"><h3><span class="mw-headline">
<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #000000;font-size:14px;color:#ffffff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px black"><center>'''M O T I V A T I O N S'''</center></div></span></h3>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> <font style="color:#444146;">''Revenge, or Justice?''' - Aether's primary motivation is, at its core, revenge. It is very easy for the Miqote male to mistake vengence for justice, and he absolutely believes that what he's doing is just. Vengence against those who cause the situation in Ul'Dah to become worse, as well as vengence against those who cause those he cares about to suffer. It is a form of hipocrisy; Aether is doing wrong himself, by seeking his own vengence, and his cycle of blood for blood will likely come to no good end.</font></div>

Aether believed him to be his little brother, and Matt was quite happy to allow this illusion to continue even after they both knew the truth. Aether and Matt had a falling out over a woman, and Aether only rarely hears from him now.</div>

Eventually, their feelings cooled off to the point of near-hate. She was assassinated when the Garlean's recieved word that Aether was not only still alive after failing his mission in Gridania, but that he had not reported back.

His father is the one who sent him into Garlean military service, and he did not take care of Aether's wife when Aether was away. Aether's father had sold information on any "rebels" living in Doma to the Garlean garrison. Aether plans to someday return home to Doma... and kill him. </div>

| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px;">Aether and Sarnai ended up as enemies when the two of them ended up falling for the same woman. At the end of the day, the woman rejected them both, leaving them collared as slaves with a physical link; what happened to one, happened to the other. Physical intimacies erupted rather violently after that, and the two of them tumbled head over heels despite their former enmity. However, Sarnai refused to give up on the woman who had spurned them both, leaving Aether heartbroken. Aether and her have since broken contact, and only rarely see one another in the street.</div>

I also enjoy more crime-based things happening to my character such as stealing, bribing, torturing, etc. ERP is fine, as long as it makes sense in the situation; don't come expecting Aether to bed you if you've just bumped into him, he doesn't do that sort of thing, he wants a connection. Long-term connections are more worthwhile to me. If rape, sexual harassment, etc is to occur, please ask me first and we will correspond. If you feel uncomfortable at any time during our RP session, please do not hesitate to send me a tell. '' </div></div>
