==Character==<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Melfice carries himself with a great sense of pride and dignity, sporting a nearly perfect posture that had no doubt been meticulously practiced over the years. His manner of dress is very much the same, usually preferring a mixture of blacks and dark purples to match his violet eyes. His hair is darkly colored, usually either left to fall down to the middle of his back or held up in a ponytail when the need to be more presentable arises. His face is narrowed with high cheekbones and a patrician's nose to lend to him an overall regal appearance. His brows are thin, the inner half of which seem to permanently slant downward resulting in an overall mischievous or stern expression. He has naturally tanned skin and the Xaela-like scales seem to cover only a small portion of his face. He almost always wears gauntlets to cover his hands, perhaps to hide something or another. <br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Melfice prefers to keep to himself, often going through great lengths to avoid having in-depth discussions with others. This is mostly because, as pompous as he is, the man doesn't expect many others to have anything worthwhile to say. When he does manage to find someone that intrigues him, he opens up a bit more and is far more likely to discuss things. Despite his rather unwelcoming disposition, Melfice can often be found observing the actions and conversations of others, not bothering to hide the fact that he's staring. He doesn't perceive this to be rude simply because he approaches it from a scientific standpoint. As such, he can be rather blunt at times, though he often tries to rein in his comments in order to keep in tune to society's acceptable social graces.<br />
<br />
He does, however, have quite the temper. Melfice is generally good at hiding this, but there are a few buttons one can press that bring it out almost immediately. This is something that his Mistress, Shadiyah, has perfected to an art and uses it to control him when it best suits her needs. For others, especially those he perceives to be beneath him (which is a great many), it is much harder to drive him to anger. When he does, and it is rare, Melfice tends to make a great many mistakes despite himself.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
Melfice tends to do what he can in order to avoid combat, though he isn't against it. His preferred method is to treat combat like a game of chess rather than a direct brawl, often through rendering the opponent immobile. He uses tuned aether crystals located in the fingers of his gauntlets as a medium through which to absorb the opponent's aether, though that requires being directly in contact with the target which is dangerous in of itself. When these spells fail, assuming he is armored, he uses a mixture of the spells with his body's natural strength to defend himself with a large blade or rapier. His intellect combined with the runes and spells he casts help strike a balance to give him the upper hand in combat. When left without a weapon, and while he often dislikes resorting to what he considers bestial, Melfice will use his claws.<br />

<br />
===Other===<br />
::* Those able to sense or detect the amount of aether one has will likely notice that Mel's is rather large.<br />
::* Something seems off about him. Whether it's his lack of social skills or another thing entirely is unknown.<br />
::* He keeps his satchel on him at all times. In it he carries books, vials of various colored liquids, stationary, and other such useful amenities.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
Melfice's mother, father, and fiancé died some time ago, causing him to shut himself off from the rest of the world. He lost all contact with what little friends and family he had at the time. His extended family likely exists somewhere in the world, but they have no contact and are all but dead to him.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
Through Melfice's various experiments and research into arts that are considered forbidden, often on people, he has made a great deal of enemies. He understands those he has wronged and has recently tried to make amends, though most (understandably) refuse to accept his apologies in any form they take.<br />

She was pulled from the Void through the means of a summoning ritual born of desperation, and while she could have very well killed him that day, she did not. Originally, Melfice assumed that he had simply managed to exert his dominance over her, but he quickly realized that she was just content enough to remain around and feed from him when needed. Melfice let this willingly happen and, while at first they did not get along, the two soon began to fall for one another. With Shadiyah's help, Melfice managed to let go of the past he'd been trying to desperately to cling to and now focuses all of his research on one thing: a cure.<br />

{{Character-stub}}<br />
<br />
==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
Cyrus appears to be a very stoic individual. Never known to stay in one place for too long, he can often seen wandering the streets of various cities in various parts of the world. He doesn't typically trust himself alone with others due to one reason or another, and so can rarely be found traveling with companions unless there is more than one with him. He bathes when he gets a chance in a river or a stream, but otherwise he keeps to himself.<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
His eyebrows aren't too thick and are generally set to give a mild mannered, overall calmed appearance. However, at times the inner halves can curve sharply should anyone manage to actually anger him. His eyes are rounded with an aqua blue coloring to them; a stark contrast to the straight, raven black hair that frames his features. There is a sadness to them, or at least the one that can be seen thanks to the patch over the left. Should the patch ever be removed, it would show the remnants of a nasty scar and a pale, grey eye beneath. The tips of his hair have gone grey, but he doesn't appear to be remotely old nor does it seem to be dyed. His face is marred with various scars from previous battles and altercations. His facial features, though touched by youth, denote strength and bravery, complete with a roman nose and broad cheekbones. <br />
<br />
His skin is only slightly tanned and his musculature is not overly defined, but apparent. His shoulders are broad, likely giving him more of an intimidation factor than he rightly deserves. He often wears a set of well-worn armor beneath his traveling coat. Strapped to his back is a simple Gridanian claymore, no special design or elegant writing anywhere to be seen. It seems to have long since passed its time, the blade patched and nicked in various places. <br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Due to the various trials his life has gone through, while he typically keeps the majority of the aforementioned traits, he tends to keep more to himself. He helps people, but in exchange for information. He's still willing to go out of his way in service of others, but only in certain cases. He has one particular goal in mind and will let nothing stand in his way to ensure it is done. He still smiles where he needs to, laughs when he has to, and is willing to make due the service of others.<br />
<br />
While he was once willing to give others the benefit of the doubt, life has been hard on the poor young man. He no longer sees the good in others, no longer expects the best out of people by default, and instead puts his guard up around most. While once inexperienced in combat, and still is judging by the way he recklessly carries himself in battle, he's learned what he knows purely by trial and error. Luck has been the only thing to keep him alive as long as he has, much to his dismay.<br />
<br />
Regardless of his general outlook, Cyrus can still occasionally be seen doing acts of kindness. He gives any extra money has has to the poor or beggars he happens to come across, treats everyone equally, and willingly throws himself in danger to help others. It doesn't take much at a first glance to tell that he is a sad soul; a once proud man brought low.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
Cyrus is no longer the same man he once was. While he once often gave pause at the idea of striking someone down, he hesitates no longer. His weapon of choice is the shoddy claymore strapped to his back. It is nicked and chipped in various places, and while he does try to keep it sharpened, it is often times well worn. This makes cutting down foes relatively difficult--and gruesome. If it finds its target, the blade is more likely to smash many times than it is to directly cut. When it does, it is often only partially so.<br />
<br />
His combat style is more than a little unorthodox. He was clearly never trained with the blade judging by the way he wields it. Rather than use any sort of technique, he seems to act and react to whatever he sees before him, often throwing himself headlong into danger without a care for his personal well-being. Aside from obvious weaknesses this would have, he has no sight out of his left eye and tries to keep people more so in front of him or to his right.<br />
<br />
Despite all of this, during rare moments, one can see him standing proud and tall as he used to.<br />
<br />
==Tendencies==<br />

::* Making others smile.<br />

::* Armorsmithing and blacksmithing. He isn't particularly skilled at either, but knows enough to at least keep his own armor in repair. <br />
::* Woodworking is something he learned from his father and a skill he cherishes greatly. He often makes tiny little toys for others to cheer them up.<br />
::* Walking. Cyrus enjoys to simply stroll about and take in the sights of where ever he is. It both relaxes him and also gets him to know the area and is people more.<br />

His parents had used what connections they had to land him a position as a guard with the Order of the Twin Adders. Unfortunately, Cyrus was late to his meeting due to losing his way during the trip.. and then again after reaching Gridania due to being unable to find his Inn. However, the fates seem to work in mysterious ways and this time was no different. He happened upon X'unmei there, a Seeker simply trying to make it on her own. Despite Cyrus having nothing to give her in return, she showed him the way to the Inn out of the kindness of her heart. He couldn't let this go unrewarded and offered her to stay in his room with him. While it was incredibly awkward at first and Cyrus may have had to tell a few white lies to ensure she was able to stay, their friendship eventually grew into something far more. Unfortunately for him, events led to a breaking of their eventual engagement and Unmei left him for another. Rather than hold any outward contempt for the woman, Cyrus is still very much in love with her and wishes her all the best in her new life.<br />

<br />
==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
Cyrus appears to be a very mild mannered, kind and friendly individual. He can often be find traveling the streets of whatever town he inhabits in search of anyone that needs help. From the richest king to the poorest beggar, in his eyes no one deserves to be denied assistance. When on patrol he tends to wear his armor, shoddy and well worn though it may be. He's seen with more traditional, conservative clothing otherwise.<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Cyrus stands a tad tall at just under six feet. He tries to maintain a perfect posture, at least while on duty. When off duty, Cyrus is noticeably more relaxed. His eyebrows aren't too thick and are generally set to give a mild mannered, overall calmed appearance. However, at times the inner halves can curve sharply should anyone manage to actually anger him. His eyes are rounded with an aqua blue coloring to them; a stark contrast to the straight, raven black hair that frames his features. His face shows no signs of permanent scarring; perhaps he's either really good or really lucky. His facial features, though touched by youth, denote strength and bravery, complete with a roman nose and broad cheekbones. <br />
<br />
His skin is only slightly tanned and his musculature is not overly defined, but apparent. His shoulders are broad, likely giving him more of an intimidation factor than he rightly deserves. As of now, his armor is worn and shoddy. The pieces themselves are nothing special, bronzed and a little rusted in places though he obviously strives to keep them as clean as possible. Strapped to his left hip is a simple steel longsword, no special design or elegant writing anywhere to be seen. It seems to have long since passed its time, the blade patched and nicked in various places. On his back an equally used bronze scutum, complete with its own scratches and dents. Regardless of the poor wear of his armor, Cyrus wears it with pride and puts it to the best use he can.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Cyrus comes from humble beginnings, and the way he acts more than reflects this. He doesn't spend money unless he absolutely has to and, more often than not, would rather give it to those in need than keep it for himself. He is incredibly respectful to all those around him and does his best to ensure he isn't stepping on anyone's toes. Although determined, Cyrus has a very innate passive nature and prefers to talk things out rather than draw his weapon if at all possible. He does not see this as a weakness, however. It simply means that should his weapon ever come to the ready, he knows it's for a just cause.<br />
<br />
He's more than happy to converse with men and women alike and treats both equally regardless of the race, nation, or social class they hail from. This does not mean that he'll act informally should he cross paths with a noble; he just doesn't see the coincidence of one's birth to be at all telling of their true worth to the world. If he comes off as inexperienced, it's because he is. Despite having basic training from his parents, Cyrus has never really ventured out of the Shroud until now. He takes everything he sees with the wide-eyed fascination of youth and is more than willing to learn what he can about the world and the people in it. One particular downside is that Cyrus is incredibly trusting of others. While he is cautious of others when he feels the time calls for it, he is willing to give many the benefit of the doubt. He struggles to see the good in everyone, even if it isn't particularly there. This may land him in more trouble in the future, but it was generally true more often than not in the small villa he hailed from.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
While Cyrus doesn't prefer to do battle, he will should the definite need arise. When he does, he prefers to act without doing definite harm to his opponents. This generally means that he'll try to keep his guard more often than not and, rather than go for killing blows, attempt to disarm his opponent and leave them disabled. While he doesn't necessarily have the proper skill or training to wield his sword and shield, he at least knows how to get himself behind them and keep the enemy busy. Perhaps in the future he'll learn to better use his hand-me-down arms.<br />
<br />
Despite not actually being a knight, Cyrus strives to become one. As such, he follows a strict code of chivalry passed down to him by his mother and father. They often told him tales of heroic knights and epic battles when he was a child growing up and he seeks to emulate it as much as possible. As such, he will gladly accept any duel or challenge formally given to him. Furthermore, he strives to never turn away someone in need or turn his back on an enemy. He'll not strike an unarmed opponent and, should the need arise, willingly fight to his last breath.<br />
<br />
==Tendencies==<br />
<br />
===Likes===<br />
::* Meeting new people. He's more than willing to introduce himself to others and spend time with them.<br />
::* Making others smile. Beyond protecting them, he's always looking for ways to improve someone's day.<br />
::* Training. Anything that involves bettering oneself.<br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
::* Harming others and anyone/thing that harms others. This includes oppression and the like.<br />
::* Alcoholism. He'll drink during special occasions even if he doesn't like it, but he prefers to stay away from such beverages. He dislikes the way it tends to make people act and the things people do under its influence, though he respects a person's desire to do it until they start to cause problems.<br />
::* Fights. Cyrus only fights as a last resort and would much rather help others rationalize their issues than resort to physical confrontation.<br />
<br />
===Hobbies/Talents===<br />
::* Armorsmithing and blacksmithing. He isn't particularly skilled at either, but knows enough to at least keep his own armor in repair. <br />
::* Woodworking is something he learned from his father and a skill he cherishes greatly. He often makes tiny little toys for others to cheer them up.<br />

Unfortunately, Cyrus was late to his meeting due to losing his way during the trip.. and then again after reaching Gridania due to being unable to find his Inn. However, the fates seem to work in mysterious ways and this time was no different. He happened upon X'unmei there, a Seeker simply trying to make it on her own. Despite Cyrus having nothing to give her in return, she showed him the way to the Inn out of the kindness of her heart. He couldn't let this go unrewarded and offered her to stay in his room with him. While it was incredibly awkward at first and Cyrus may have had to tell a few white lies to ensure she was able to stay, their friendship eventually grew into something far more. Unfortunately for him, events led to a breaking of their eventual engagement and Unmei left him for another. Rather than hold any outward contempt for the woman, Cyrus is still very much in love with her and wishes her all the best in her new life.<br />

===Common Rumors===<br />
::* "He's strong, but doesn't have much in the way of technique."<br />

A rags-to-riches Ul'dahn street rat that worked his way up the criminal ladder. His initial work and experience came in the form of petty crime and small gangs, whatever it took to eek out a living. Eventually, his actions became known by a much larger syndicate, and soon he was drafted in its ranks.</font><div align=center;><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Vincent--or Vinnie, as most people call him--stands at about 5'8" and has a fairly slender frame. He's not particularly strong. While he keeps himself in shape and maintains a toned body, he relies mostly on various gadgets, weapons, intelligence, speed and agility to help him during an altercation. His skin is mostly pale with a slight tan. He has a scar along the right side of his cheek, though it is typically covered up by his long crimson hair. The left side of his face is generally kept open, openly showing a tribal tattoo given to him when he joined one of the Ul'dahn street gangs. Vincent's eyes are turqoise, rounded and upturned toward the edges while his brows are thin and dark. <br />
<br />
Vinnie can almost always be found wearing a suit, typically dark blue or black and a pair of dark shades to match. He prioritizes his personal appearance over almost everything else, knowing that one must look respectable in order to be respected. He commands himself with a sense of professionalism when on the job, and dressing in anything less would ruin that.<br />
<br />
'''Speech:''' Vincent tries his best to articulate his speech, but it isn't long until his street lifestyle catches up to him. He typically carries a casual tone to his voice, though work seems to denote something more demanding out of him. <br />

<!-- PERSONALITY TAB --><br />

<div align=left padding-bottom=20><font style="color: #000; font-size:13px; letter-spacing: 0em;"><br />
<br />
Vincent is laid back, and therefore doesn't seek to harm people he doesn't have to. He is mostly friendly, knowing all too well that knowledge is power and, in his line of work, one must network as much as they can. He doesn't have much in the way of a temper, but when provoked, rather than invoking some sort of explosive anger, Vinnie falls into a calm rage. Any pretense of that kind, happy-go-lucky attitude is lost and he falls strictly to business, or in some cases, work. <br />
<br />
He doesn't have much in the way of morals. Rather, he knows how one should act and does so just enough to get by, but he isn't one to lecture other people on their use of drugs or alcohol. He's quite fond of the latter, himself, and has only been known to make use of the former during a particularly wild party or after inviting a few women back to his room. Speaking of pleasures, Vincent is open to just about anything, though he is not interested in men. He has a "try anything once" type of attitude, and thinks that one must live the one life they've been given to the fullest and experience all that it has to offer.<br />
<br />
Work has him do many questionable things, from ransom to murder to extortion and everything in between. However, Vincent does have a strict code he follows. He will not be involved in slavery, and has no desire for sexual assault. One of the few times he'd come to another's aid is during such cases, believing that all people have the right to be as free as they can or choose to be.<br />
<br />
:'''Motivations:''' Grow his personal wealth, but have fun while doing so.<br />
:'''Disposition:''' Laid back.<br />
:'''Outlook:''' Live life to the fullest.<br />

<div style="width: 818px; display: inline-block; vertical-align: top;"><div align=left><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;"><br />
<br />
Vincent's early life is that of any Ul'dahn orphan: harsh. He lived in the orphanage until he was no longer capable of staying, partially due to it being too full and moreso because he kept causing problems. What he didn't have, he wanted. What he couldn't get, he forcibly took. Vincent was never one to harm others unless he absolutely had to. This led him to stealing from vendors and the more fortunate rather than outright seeking to brawl or kill. But things weren't always successful, and he often returned with bruises and injuries from when he was caught, either by the target or another gang's territory. <br />
<br />
The matron of the orphanage had little in the way of choice when it came to Vincent. Barely twelve years of age, he'd already caused them their fair share of trouble. He was cast out on the streets, forced to fend for himself. Eventually he caught up with the gangs that he'd already made a name for himself in and joined their ranks. There was no order or structure present; just a group of kids and semi-likeminded individuals trying to eek out a living in the harsh Ul'dahn streets. As they grew together, so did the bonds between them, and eventually they became more family than friends.<br />
<br />
This family soon grew into a semi-legitimate organization, or at least as legitimate as a group of ruffians could be. There was some order to it, but only the bare minimum. Those that had been there the longest would act as the leader's lieutenants, and Vincent managed to earn himself a spot there. Each lieutenant was in charge of various interests for the gang, from drugs to prostitution and everything in between.<br />
<br />
Their endeavors soon caught the attention of rival gangs, and it wasn't long before wars began to erupt between the various groups. No one gang was better than the other, and the result was little more than chaos in the streets. Neither faction was willing to give up what territory they had gained, but none of them was willing to settle for what they'd had. It simply became the way of the city, and already dangerous streets became that much more so, especially where territories met.<br />
<br />
And then, one by one, all of the gangs began to fall in line. The bloodshed ceased and soon it came to be that the violence settled. Vincent's gang assumed that they'd managed to somehow come out on top. With at least a tenuous peace, Vincent was looking forward to relaxing as he did before, no longer having to look over his shoulder. At least, not as much as before. Yet, his boss wanted more. He saw the peace as an opportunity for rapid expansion, catching the other gangs off guard and taking their territory one by one. Vincent pleaded to let them be and just enjoy what they had, but it wasn't enough.<br />
<br />
It didn't take long for their actions to reach the ears of others. Suits, as they were known, were ghost stories that gang members shared amongst themselves in hopes of spooking one another on the way home. Whenever someone suddenly vanished, it was the Suits. When no gang was willing to claim a hit, the Suits were to blame. Most had already considered them little more than a product of the times they lived in, and yet, standing before Vinnie and the other Lieutenants were six of them. Their offer was simple; enjoy what was already freely given, and live.<br />
<br />
Vincent's boss had little to hear of it. He refused to believe that anything had been "given" to them, as he was the one giving the orders. There were no Suits present when they took over rival gangs, and there were certainly none about when they formed themselves. He ordered the rest of his gang to continue as they had with little care of the consequences, believing the six men and women that came to them to be little more than a joke from the other gangs. At barely twenty years of age, Vincent knew trouble when he saw it. Yet, this was his family. It was the only life he knew, and he'd do whatever it took to preserve that. Against his better judgement, Vincent agreed to help lead strikes into rival territory. One by one, the other gangs began to fall, and little by little their own expanded. <br />
<br />
And then, just like that, it was all over. They'd gone over the plans countless times. They could recite the street and adjacent territories like they'd studied them their whole lives. Hells, they practically had. They knew every detail, down to each sign post, trash bin, and shop. Yet, nothing could prepare them for what awaited. What was meant to be a quick takeover of an enemy base--an abandoned storage house deep within the city--became a massacre. There were several factions waiting on them, all with weapons well beyond their means. The battle--if you could even call it that--was over in moments, and Vincent was never seen again.<br />
<br />
Some say they saw him shot. Others claimed he was caught in an explosion. Yet still some were convinced that he'd been carried out by rival gang members. By all accounts he was presumed dead, and a part of that was true. Vincent Laurentius, the cocky, street-smart thug was forever changed that night. The Suits had taken him, offering a life of luxury should he only follow their code. In exchange for riches beyond his dreams and a life well beyond any means he'd previously had--or have, he need only give them his life. Vincent accepted with open arms. After all, the alternative was surely death.<br />

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">A woman that Vincent happened to run into during a long night at work. It had been a slow evening, and seeing the gorgeous woman dressed up gave him a bit of hope that the evening wouldn't end on a stale note. Thankfully, he was correct! She accepted his advances and went up to his room with him, where he caught her pickpocketing his jacket. Rather than call the authorities (because that wouldn't have helped things), Vincent offered her a deal. If she agreed to help him out and tend to his "needs," he would make sure that she wanted for nothing. He pulled some strings with the Turks to land her a job, ensuring she remained conveniently close at all times. What was initially a partnership of convenience soon became love, and Vincent makes more than certain to keep his original promise.</div><br />

Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment. Most walk-up encounters.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Ask about''' long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. Fake/temporary character "deaths." Anything likely to deal permanent and severe psychological trauma to my character. Pre-established relationships. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''I won't play''' permanent character death. Erotic role-play. Fetish fulfillment. Lolicon/shotacon. Any sexual themes involving children, objectively child-like characters, or animals. Any sexual themes with players who are minors OOC. Excessively detailed and overly descriptive gore. Long, drawn out, descriptive torture scenes. Sexual/romantic relationships or requited feelings when my character is already in a serious relationship.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Please do not''' metagame, autohit, godmod, powerplay, role-play to win, or be a bad sport. Take OOC hiccups IC (typos, accidental button pressing, afking, etc.), bring IC into OOC, bring OOC into IC. Lecture me on lore, disrespect my OOC boundaries, disrespect my RP partners, be inconsiderate of my time (hour long waits for posts, demanding I spend more time with you, guilt-trip me for RPing with others, etc.). Write so much purple prose I cannot understand/find the actual action of your post. Fail to respect if I tell you I'm uncomfortable with something, attempt OOC to force our characters into a certain relationship, do underhanded OOC things to try to sabotage my character's relationship with another character (or mine with their player), say racist/sexist/homophobic/otherwise offensive things to me OOC, or lie to me or otherwise cause drama OOC. These are dealbreakers, and I may drop all contact with you without further warning if any of these things happen (I am understanding of accidental/innocent mistakes like the occasional autohit or bit of subconscious metagaming). I know this probably sounds super paranoid, but I only mention each of these things because they are things that have happened before--often more than once!</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am on the Balmung server.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am over 18.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I do freestyle posting, most often para-RP with a paragraph or two. I will typically try to post-to-match, but if you do nothing but one-liners or nothing but huge multi-para posts, I may settle on something more moderate. I do not mind your post style, so long as your posts have interesting content I can respond to and I do not have to struggle through long descriptions that are useless to me or make no sense. I do like posts that are lacking in empty, flowery verbage yet still contain some description and artistry, so I would ideally like to find other para-RPers, but I am not picky!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am primarily looking for in game role-play, or at least RP with characters also from Balmung, but I am open to role-play via RPC PM's or threads, Enjin PM's or threads, Skype messages, or Discord messages or channels. Please send me a PM on the RPC or a /tell in game to ask for my handles. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am in EST timezone. My schedule is somewhat sporadic, so I am on at odd hours. I am usually online somewhere between 2PM - 3AM EST. Most often, you can find me online between 9PM - 2AM EST. I recommend starting any RP by midnight, since I am often winding down and getting ready for bed after that point.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■Along with RP, I am glad to just chat or maybe do some PvE content, or play other games outside of FFXIV. Please don't ever feel you're bothering me if you send me a message. I suck at socializing so I will probably never message you first, but that doesn't mean I dislike talking to you.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like long-term relationships and story-heavy plots. I suck at making my own plots, but I am always happy to be a part of someone else's story!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you do not like Vincent, or if she doesn't mesh well with your character, yet you would still like to role-play with me, I do have other characters who are vastly different.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like to bend lore for the sake of story if called for, but not break it. If someone not conforming to the lore to a T sets you off, you may want to skip on anything more than brief, casual interactions with my characters. If your character is a Miqo'te Dragoon female Nunh WoL Voidsent, likewise, you may want to find someone more up to your speed instead of me! I prefer a healthy middle-ground. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I typically try to avoid combat RP. If somehow it happens despite this, I am often flexible between freeform, rolling, etc. and prefer to do whatever feels best in each individual situation.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am okay with (loosely) planning RP if you have an idea you want to bring up. I do not like RP that is highly scripted, or gives my character a narrow choice of options to react for no discernible IC reason. I am also okay with walk-ups. If you see me anywhere, even if you've never spoken to me before, feel free to post at me! If I am not IC, I will let you know. If I don't respond, it just means I'm afk--sorry! I afk a lot.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you ever have any questions or need clarification about anything whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask. I am a very open person and in the odd case anything does make me uncomfortable, I will simply tell you that. Even if it's mid-RP, I am not one of those "muh 'mmersion!!" people, so I promise I won't be bothered!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell letting me know immediately. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion or avoiding "metagaming." I do care about your feelings, comfort, and enjoyment of the RP! I am fine dialing things back, or dropping a role-play with no hard feelings if we are just not compatible.</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Friends and acquaintances?''' Friends, acquaintances, allies, and business contacts are always welcome. These will need to happen naturally rather than our characters being forced into a friendship that might not suit them. Vincent is easygoing and can get along with most characters, but tends to get along best with characters who are neither very arrogant nor very helpless. Vincent is always glad to make business contacts, typically anyone who can help feed her hobby of tinkering (supplying information or parts) or those who want to patronize her services as a mechanic and engineer. Vincent rarely leaves Thanalan, so contacts that are often in Thanalan are preferred, but I can have her travel if need be.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Enemies and rivals?''' Enemies are always welcome, pending certain conditions. Vincent tries to avoid trouble with most people, but she will step up if someone is being harassed or someone is acting like a genuine asshole, and she will not take being harassed lying down, which can lead to conflicts. I am not interested in RPing with anyone who will harass my character to the point of me having to avoid public RP in the name of "antagonist" RP. I also do not want to RP with anyone who will be sour or demand to retcon if harassing Vincent lands their character in trouble they didn't expect. PLEASE, PLEASE do not ask to take an antagonist role if you are not okay with this and what it might mean for your character (I will try to avoid situations where your character might be killed or permanently imprisoned and give your character an out if possible, and I ask you do the same for me, but disbelief can only be suspended so much before the RP stops being fun).</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Family?''' I don't have much pre-established for Vincent's family, so the roles of her family, close or distant, are open. Parents and siblings (half-blooded or full-blooded) are available for play as are less close relatives such as cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. A slight physical resemblance to Vincent would be nice, but less important the more distant the relation. Any family members will need to be discussed to work out the details and receive my permission.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Lovers?''' Vincent is in a long-term, committed relationship, and will not cheat or leave her lover for anyone. That said, her relationship may not be entirely monogamous, but this only applies to female characters (and any interest would likely be more sexual than romantic), as her spouse is a heterosexual man and would likely not want to be left out. Any sexual scenes will be faded-to-black. If you want your character to have romantic/sexual feelings for Vincent for any reason, that's fine, please just respect me and the player of Vincent's spouse OOC, and do not expect your character's feelings to ever be returned or fulfilled.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Past connections?''' I am open to past connections with some discussion to work out the details and my permission given, if you would like to have some pre-established foundation for our characters to build upon rather than starting fresh. Some likely connections would be other members from the Coeurl tribe (particularly her sect), others who lived in the Sagoli that she might have bumped into in her time with her tribe, those who frequented Ul'dah after her exile from her tribe (particularly other street dwellers, or Quicksand lurkers she might have shared a drink or a night with), anyone who might her hired in Ul'dah as a prostitute or goon during her time spent homeless, or anyone who she might have pickpocketed from, been confronted by (law enforcement i.e. Brass Blades), or been hired to rough up during that time. I am open to any suggestions not mentioned here.</font></div><br />

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Vincent--or Vinnie, as most people call him--stands at about 5'8" and has a fairly slender frame. He's not particularly strong. While he keeps himself in shape and maintains a toned body, he relies mostly on various gadgets, weapons, intelligence, speed and agility to help him during an altercation. His skin is mostly pale with a slight tan. He has a scar along the right side of his cheek, though it is typically covered up by his long crimson hair. The left side of his face is generally kept open, openly showing a tribal tattoo given to him when he joined one of the Ul'dahn street gangs. Vincent's eyes are turqoise, rounded and upturned toward the edges while his brows are thin and dark. <br />
<br />
Vinnie can almost always be found wearing a suit, typically dark blue or black and a pair of dark shades to match. He prioritizes his personal appearance over almost everything else, knowing that one must look respectable in order to be respected. He commands himself with a sense of professionalism when on the job, and dressing in anything less would ruin that.<br />
<br />
'''Speech:''' Vincent tries his best to articulate his speech, but it isn't long until his street lifestyle catches up to him. He typically carries a casual tone to his voice, though work seems to denote something more demanding out of him. <br />

<tab name="Personality" style="padding: 10px; margin-left: 0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 10px; border-color:#0b154f; border-radius:15px; background-color: #ffffff;"><br />
<div align=left padding-bottom=20><font style="color: #000; font-size:13px; letter-spacing: 0em;"><br />
<br />
Vincent is laid back, and therefore doesn't seek to harm people he doesn't have to. He is mostly friendly, knowing all too well that knowledge is power and, in his line of work, one must network as much as they can. He doesn't have much in the way of a temper, but when provoked, rather than invoking some sort of explosive anger, Vinnie falls into a calm rage. Any pretense of that kind, happy-go-lucky attitude is lost and he falls strictly to business, or in some cases, work. <br />
<br />
He doesn't have much in the way of morals. Rather, he knows how one should act and does so just enough to get by, but he isn't one to lecture other people on their use of drugs or alcohol. He's quite fond of the latter, himself, and has only been known to make use of the former during a particularly wild party or after inviting a few women back to his room. Speaking of pleasures, Vincent is open to just about anything, though he is not interested in men. He has a "try anything once" type of attitude, and thinks that one must live the one life they've been given to the fullest and experience all that it has to offer.<br />
<br />
Work has him do many questionable things, from ransom to murder to extortion and everything in between. However, Vincent does have a strict code he follows. He will not be involved in slavery, and has no desire for sexual assault. One of the few times he'd come to another's aid is during such cases, believing that all people have the right to be as free as they can or choose to be.<br />
<br />
:'''Motivations:''' Grow his personal wealth, but have fun while doing so.<br />
:'''Disposition:''' Laid back.<br />
:'''Outlook:''' Live life to the fullest.<br />

<br />
Vincent's early life is that of any Ul'dahn orphan: harsh. He lived in the orphanage until he was no longer capable of staying, partially due to it being too full and moreso because he kept causing problems. What he didn't have, he wanted. What he couldn't get, he forcibly took. Vincent was never one to harm others unless he absolutely had to. This led him to stealing from vendors and the more fortunate rather than outright seeking to brawl or kill. But things weren't always successful, and he often returned with bruises and injuries from when he was caught, either by the target or another gang's territory. <br />
<br />
The matron of the orphanage had little in the way of choice when it came to Vincent. Barely twelve years of age, he'd already caused them their fair share of trouble. He was cast out on the streets, forced to fend for himself. Eventually he caught up with the gangs that he'd already made a name for himself in and joined their ranks. There was no order or structure present; just a group of kids and semi-likeminded individuals trying to eek out a living in the harsh Ul'dahn streets. As they grew together, so did the bonds between them, and eventually they became more family than friends.<br />
<br />
This family soon grew into a semi-legitimate organization, or at least as legitimate as a group of ruffians could be. There was some order to it, but only the bare minimum. Those that had been there the longest would act as the leader's lieutenants, and Vincent managed to earn himself a spot there. Each lieutenant was in charge of various interests for the gang, from drugs to prostitution and everything in between.<br />
<br />
Their endeavors soon caught the attention of rival gangs, and it wasn't long before wars began to erupt between the various groups. No one gang was better than the other, and the result was little more than chaos in the streets. Neither faction was willing to give up what territory they had gained, but none of them was willing to settle for what they'd had. It simply became the way of the city, and already dangerous streets became that much more so, especially where territories met.<br />
<br />
And then, one by one, all of the gangs began to fall in line. The bloodshed ceased and soon it came to be that the violence settled. Vincent's gang assumed that they'd managed to somehow come out on top. With at least a tenuous peace, Vincent was looking forward to relaxing as he did before, no longer having to look over his shoulder. At least, not as much as before. Yet, his boss wanted more. He saw the peace as an opportunity for rapid expansion, catching the other gangs off guard and taking their territory one by one. Vincent pleaded to let them be and just enjoy what they had, but it wasn't enough.<br />
<br />
It didn't take long for their actions to reach the ears of others. Suits, as they were known, were ghost stories that gang members shared amongst themselves in hopes of spooking one another on the way home. Whenever someone suddenly vanished, it was the Suits. When no gang was willing to claim a hit, the Suits were to blame. Most had already considered them little more than a product of the times they lived in, and yet, standing before Vinnie and the other Lieutenants were six of them. Their offer was simple; enjoy what was already freely given, and live.<br />
<br />
Vincent's boss had little to hear of it. He refused to believe that anything had been "given" to them, as he was the one giving the orders. There were no Suits present when they took over rival gangs, and there were certainly none about when they formed themselves. He ordered the rest of his gang to continue as they had with little care of the consequences, believing the six men and women that came to them to be little more than a joke from the other gangs. At barely twenty years of age, Vincent knew trouble when he saw it. Yet, this was his family. It was the only life he knew, and he'd do whatever it took to preserve that. Against his better judgement, Vincent agreed to help lead strikes into rival territory. One by one, the other gangs began to fall, and little by little their own expanded. <br />
<br />
And then, just like that, it was all over. They'd gone over the plans countless times. They could recite the street and adjacent territories like they'd studied them their whole lives. Hells, they practically had. They knew every detail, down to each sign post, trash bin, and shop. Yet, nothing could prepare them for what awaited. What was meant to be a quick takeover of an enemy base--an abandoned storage house deep within the city--became a massacre. There were several factions waiting on them, all with weapons well beyond their means. The battle--if you could even call it that--was over in moments, and Vincent was never seen again.<br />
<br />
Some say they saw him shot. Others claimed he was caught in an explosion. Yet still some were convinced that he'd been carried out by rival gang members. By all accounts he was presumed dead, and a part of that was true. Vincent Laurentius, the cocky, street-smart thug was forever changed that night. The Suits had taken him, offering a life of luxury should he only follow their code. In exchange for riches beyond his dreams and a life well beyond any means he'd previously had--or have, he need only give them his life. Vincent accepted with open arms. After all, the alternative was surely death.<br />

It had been a slow evening, and seeing the gorgeous woman dressed up gave him a bit of hope that the evening wouldn't end on a stale note. Thankfully, he was correct! She accepted his advances and went up to his room with him, where he caught her pickpocketing his jacket. Rather than call the authorities (because that wouldn't have helped things), Vincent offered her a deal. If she agreed to help him out and tend to his "needs," he would make sure that she wanted for nothing. He pulled some strings with the Turks to land her a job, ensuring she remained conveniently close at all times.

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am primarily looking for in game role-play, or at least RP with characters also from Balmung, but I am open to role-play via RPC PM's or threads, Enjin PM's or threads, Skype messages, or Discord messages or channels. Please send me a PM on the RPC or a /tell in game to ask for my handles. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am in EST timezone. My schedule is somewhat sporadic, so I am on at odd hours. I am usually online somewhere between 2PM - 3AM EST. Most often, you can find me online between 9PM - 2AM EST. I recommend starting any RP by midnight, since I am often winding down and getting ready for bed after that point.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■Along with RP, I am glad to just chat or maybe do some PvE content, or play other games outside of FFXIV. Please don't ever feel you're bothering me if you send me a message. I suck at socializing so I will probably never message you first, but that doesn't mean I dislike talking to you.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like long-term relationships and story-heavy plots. I suck at making my own plots, but I am always happy to be a part of someone else's story!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you do not like Vincent, or if she doesn't mesh well with your character, yet you would still like to role-play with me, I do have other characters who are vastly different.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like to bend lore for the sake of story if called for, but not break it. If someone not conforming to the lore to a T sets you off, you may want to skip on anything more than brief, casual interactions with my characters. If your character is a Miqo'te Dragoon female Nunh WoL Voidsent, likewise, you may want to find someone more up to your speed instead of me! I prefer a healthy middle-ground. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I typically try to avoid combat RP. If somehow it happens despite this, I am often flexible between freeform, rolling, etc. and prefer to do whatever feels best in each individual situation.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am okay with (loosely) planning RP if you have an idea you want to bring up. I do not like RP that is highly scripted, or gives my character a narrow choice of options to react for no discernible IC reason. I am also okay with walk-ups. If you see me anywhere, even if you've never spoken to me before, feel free to post at me! If I am not IC, I will let you know. If I don't respond, it just means I'm afk--sorry! I afk a lot.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you ever have any questions or need clarification about anything whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask. I am a very open person and in the odd case anything does make me uncomfortable, I will simply tell you that. Even if it's mid-RP, I am not one of those "muh 'mmersion!!" people, so I promise I won't be bothered!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell letting me know immediately. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion or avoiding "metagaming." I do care about your feelings, comfort, and enjoyment of the RP! I am fine dialing things back, or dropping a role-play with no hard feelings if we are just not compatible.</font></div><br />

<div style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 5px 0px; background: #0b154f; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF; font-family:tahoma; text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px black; letter-spacing:0.25em;border-radius:15px;"><center>'''RP Hooks'''</center></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Friends and acquaintances?''' Friends, acquaintances, allies, and business contacts are always welcome. These will need to happen naturally rather than our characters being forced into a friendship that might not suit them. Vincent is easygoing and can get along with most characters, but tends to get along best with characters who are neither very arrogant nor very helpless. Vincent is always glad to make business contacts, typically anyone who can help feed her hobby of tinkering (supplying information or parts) or those who want to patronize her services as a mechanic and engineer. Vincent rarely leaves Thanalan, so contacts that are often in Thanalan are preferred, but I can have her travel if need be.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Enemies and rivals?''' Enemies are always welcome, pending certain conditions. Vincent tries to avoid trouble with most people, but she will step up if someone is being harassed or someone is acting like a genuine asshole, and she will not take being harassed lying down, which can lead to conflicts. I am not interested in RPing with anyone who will harass my character to the point of me having to avoid public RP in the name of "antagonist" RP. I also do not want to RP with anyone who will be sour or demand to retcon if harassing Vincent lands their character in trouble they didn't expect. PLEASE, PLEASE do not ask to take an antagonist role if you are not okay with this and what it might mean for your character (I will try to avoid situations where your character might be killed or permanently imprisoned and give your character an out if possible, and I ask you do the same for me, but disbelief can only be suspended so much before the RP stops being fun).</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Family?''' I don't have much pre-established for Vincent's family, so the roles of her family, close or distant, are open. Parents and siblings (half-blooded or full-blooded) are available for play as are less close relatives such as cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Her father's name is C'sapa Nunh. Any relatives would be need to be Seekers originally from the Couerl tribe, preferably her sect in the Sagoli. A slight physical resemblance to Vincent would be nice, but less important the more distant the relation. Any family members will need to be discussed to work out the details and receive my permission.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Lovers?''' Vincent is in a long-term, committed relationship, and will not cheat or leave her lover for anyone. That said, her relationship may not be entirely monogamous, but this only applies to female characters (and any interest would likely be more sexual than romantic), as her spouse is a heterosexual man and would likely not want to be left out. Any sexual scenes will be faded-to-black. If you want your character to have romantic/sexual feelings for Vincent for any reason, that's fine, please just respect me and the player of Vincent's spouse OOC, and do not expect your character's feelings to ever be returned or fulfilled.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Past connections?''' I am open to past connections with some discussion to work out the details and my permission given, if you would like to have some pre-established foundation for our characters to build upon rather than starting fresh. Some likely connections would be other members from the Coeurl tribe (particularly her sect), others who lived in the Sagoli that she might have bumped into in her time with her tribe, those who frequented Ul'dah after her exile from her tribe (particularly other street dwellers, or Quicksand lurkers she might have shared a drink or a night with), anyone who might her hired in Ul'dah as a prostitute or goon during her time spent homeless, or anyone who she might have pickpocketed from, been confronted by (law enforcement i.e. Brass Blades), or been hired to rough up during that time. I am open to any suggestions not mentioned here.</font></div><br />

A rags-to-riches Ul'dahn street rat that worked his way up the criminal ladder. His initial work and experience came in the form of petty crime and small gangs, whatever it took to eek out a living. Eventually, his actions became known by a much larger syndicate, and soon he was drafted in its ranks.</font><div align=center;><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Vincent--or Vinnie, as most people call him--stands at about 5'8" and has a fairly slender frame. He's not particularly strong. While he keeps himself in shape and maintains a toned body, he relies mostly on various gadgets, weapons, intelligence, speed and agility to help him during an altercation. His skin is mostly pale with a slight tan. He has a scar along the right side of his cheek, though it is typically covered up by his long crimson hair. The left side of his face is generally kept open, openly showing a tribal tattoo given to him when he joined one of the Ul'dahn street gangs. Vincent's eyes are turqoise, rounded and upturned toward the edges while his brows are thin and dark. <br />
<br />
Vinnie can almost always be found wearing a suit, typically dark blue or black and a pair of dark shades to match. He prioritizes his personal appearance over almost everything else, knowing that one must look respectable in order to be respected. He commands himself with a sense of professionalism when on the job, and dressing in anything less would ruin that.<br />
<br />
'''Speech:''' Vincent tries his best to articulate his speech, but it isn't long until his street lifestyle catches up to him. He typically carries a casual tone to his voice, though work seems to denote something more demanding out of him. <br />

<div align=left padding-bottom=20><font style="color: #000; font-size:13px; letter-spacing: 0em;"><br />
<br />
Vincent is laid back, and therefore doesn't seek to harm people he doesn't have to. He is mostly friendly, knowing all too well that knowledge is power and, in his line of work, one must network as much as they can. He doesn't have much in the way of a temper, but when provoked, rather than invoking some sort of explosive anger, Vinnie falls into a calm rage. Any pretense of that kind, happy-go-lucky attitude is lost and he falls strictly to business, or in some cases, work. <br />
<br />
He doesn't have much in the way of morals. Rather, he knows how one should act and does so just enough to get by, but he isn't one to lecture other people on their use of drugs or alcohol. He's quite fond of the latter, himself, and has only been known to make use of the former during a particularly wild party or after inviting a few women back to his room. Speaking of pleasures, Vincent is open to just about anything, though he is not interested in men. He has a "try anything once" type of attitude, and thinks that one must live the one life they've been given to the fullest and experience all that it has to offer.<br />
<br />
Work has him do many questionable things, from ransom to murder to extortion and everything in between. However, Vincent does have a strict code he follows. He will not be involved in slavery, and has no desire for sexual assault. One of the few times he'd come to another's aid is during such cases, believing that all people have the right to be as free as they can or choose to be.<br />
<br />
:'''Motivations:''' Grow his personal wealth, but have fun while doing so.<br />
:'''Disposition:''' Laid back.<br />
:'''Outlook:''' Live life to the fullest.<br />

<br />
Vincent's early life is that of any Ul'dahn orphan: harsh. He lived in the orphanage until he was no longer capable of staying, partially due to it being too full and moreso because he kept causing problems. What he didn't have, he wanted. What he couldn't get, he forcibly took. Vincent was never one to harm others unless he absolutely had to. This led him to stealing from vendors and the more fortunate rather than outright seeking to brawl or kill. But things weren't always successful, and he often returned with bruises and injuries from when he was caught, either by the target or another gang's territory. <br />
<br />
The matron of the orphanage had little in the way of choice when it came to Vincent. Barely twelve years of age, he'd already caused them their fair share of trouble. He was cast out on the streets, forced to fend for himself. Eventually he caught up with the gangs that he'd already made a name for himself in and joined their ranks. There was no order or structure present; just a group of kids and semi-likeminded individuals trying to eek out a living in the harsh Ul'dahn streets. As they grew together, so did the bonds between them, and eventually they became more family than friends.<br />
<br />
This family soon grew into a semi-legitimate organization, or at least as legitimate as a group of ruffians could be. There was some order to it, but only the bare minimum. Those that had been there the longest would act as the leader's lieutenants, and Vincent managed to earn himself a spot there. Each lieutenant was in charge of various interests for the gang, from drugs to prostitution and everything in between.<br />
<br />
Their endeavors soon caught the attention of rival gangs, and it wasn't long before wars began to erupt between the various groups. No one gang was better than the other, and the result was little more than chaos in the streets. Neither faction was willing to give up what territory they had gained, but none of them was willing to settle for what they'd had. It simply became the way of the city, and already dangerous streets became that much more so, especially where territories met.<br />
<br />
And then, one by one, all of the gangs began to fall in line. The bloodshed ceased and soon it came to be that the violence settled. Vincent's gang assumed that they'd managed to somehow come out on top. With at least a tenuous peace, Vincent was looking forward to relaxing as he did before, no longer having to look over his shoulder. At least, not as much as before. Yet, his boss wanted more. He saw the peace as an opportunity for rapid expansion, catching the other gangs off guard and taking their territory one by one. Vincent pleaded to let them be and just enjoy what they had, but it wasn't enough.<br />
<br />
It didn't take long for their actions to reach the ears of others. Suits, as they were known, were ghost stories that gang members shared amongst themselves in hopes of spooking one another on the way home. Whenever someone suddenly vanished, it was the Suits. When no gang was willing to claim a hit, the Suits were to blame. Most had already considered them little more than a product of the times they lived in, and yet, standing before Vinnie and the other Lieutenants were six of them. Their offer was simple; enjoy what was already freely given, and live.<br />
<br />
Vincent's boss had little to hear of it. He refused to believe that anything had been "given" to them, as he was the one giving the orders. There were no Suits present when they took over rival gangs, and there were certainly none about when they formed themselves. He ordered the rest of his gang to continue as they had with little care of the consequences, believing the six men and women that came to them to be little more than a joke from the other gangs. At barely twenty years of age, Vincent knew trouble when he saw it. Yet, this was his family. It was the only life he knew, and he'd do whatever it took to preserve that. Against his better judgement, Vincent agreed to help lead strikes into rival territory. One by one, the other gangs began to fall, and little by little their own expanded. <br />
<br />
And then, just like that, it was all over. They'd gone over the plans countless times. They could recite the street and adjacent territories like they'd studied them their whole lives. Hells, they practically had. They knew every detail, down to each sign post, trash bin, and shop. Yet, nothing could prepare them for what awaited. What was meant to be a quick takeover of an enemy base--an abandoned storage house deep within the city--became a massacre. There were several factions waiting on them, all with weapons well beyond their means. The battle--if you could even call it that--was over in moments, and Vincent was never seen again.<br />
<br />
Some say they saw him shot. Others claimed he was caught in an explosion. Yet still some were convinced that he'd been carried out by rival gang members. By all accounts he was presumed dead, and a part of that was true. Vincent Laurentius, the cocky, street-smart thug was forever changed that night. The Suits had taken him, offering a life of luxury should he only follow their code. In exchange for riches beyond his dreams and a life well beyond any means he'd previously had--or have, he need only give them his life. Vincent accepted with open arms. After all, the alternative was surely death.<br />

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">A woman that Vincent happened to run into during a long night at work. It had been a slow evening, and seeing the gorgeous woman dressed up gave him a bit of hope that the evening wouldn't end on a stale note. Thankfully, he was correct! She accepted his advances and went up to his room with him, where he caught her pickpocketing his jacket. Rather than call the authorities (because that wouldn't have helped things), Vincent offered her a deal. If she agreed to help him out and tend to his "needs," he would make sure that she wanted for nothing. He pulled some strings with the Turks to land her a job, ensuring she remained conveniently close at all times. What was initially a partnership of convenience soon became love, and Vincent makes more than certain to keep his original promise.</div><br />

Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment. Most walk-up encounters.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Ask about''' long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. Fake/temporary character "deaths." Anything likely to deal permanent and severe psychological trauma to my character. Pre-established relationships. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''I won't play''' permanent character death. Erotic role-play. Fetish fulfillment. Lolicon/shotacon. Any sexual themes involving children, objectively child-like characters, or animals. Any sexual themes with players who are minors OOC. Excessively detailed and overly descriptive gore. Long, drawn out, descriptive torture scenes. Sexual/romantic relationships or requited feelings when my character is already in a serious relationship.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Please do not''' metagame, autohit, godmod, powerplay, role-play to win, or be a bad sport. Take OOC hiccups IC (typos, accidental button pressing, afking, etc.), bring IC into OOC, bring OOC into IC. Lecture me on lore, disrespect my OOC boundaries, disrespect my RP partners, be inconsiderate of my time (hour long waits for posts, demanding I spend more time with you, guilt-trip me for RPing with others, etc.). Write so much purple prose I cannot understand/find the actual action of your post. Fail to respect if I tell you I'm uncomfortable with something, attempt OOC to force our characters into a certain relationship, do underhanded OOC things to try to sabotage my character's relationship with another character (or mine with their player), say racist/sexist/homophobic/otherwise offensive things to me OOC, or lie to me or otherwise cause drama OOC. These are dealbreakers, and I may drop all contact with you without further warning if any of these things happen (I am understanding of accidental/innocent mistakes like the occasional autohit or bit of subconscious metagaming). I know this probably sounds super paranoid, but I only mention each of these things because they are things that have happened before--often more than once!</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am on the Balmung server.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am over 18.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I do freestyle posting, most often para-RP with a paragraph or two. I will typically try to post-to-match, but if you do nothing but one-liners or nothing but huge multi-para posts, I may settle on something more moderate. I do not mind your post style, so long as your posts have interesting content I can respond to and I do not have to struggle through long descriptions that are useless to me or make no sense. I do like posts that are lacking in empty, flowery verbage yet still contain some description and artistry, so I would ideally like to find other para-RPers, but I am not picky!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am primarily looking for in game role-play, or at least RP with characters also from Balmung, but I am open to role-play via RPC PM's or threads, Enjin PM's or threads, Skype messages, or Discord messages or channels. Please send me a PM on the RPC or a /tell in game to ask for my handles. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am in EST timezone. My schedule is somewhat sporadic, so I am on at odd hours. I am usually online somewhere between 2PM - 3AM EST. Most often, you can find me online between 9PM - 2AM EST. I recommend starting any RP by midnight, since I am often winding down and getting ready for bed after that point.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■Along with RP, I am glad to just chat or maybe do some PvE content, or play other games outside of FFXIV. Please don't ever feel you're bothering me if you send me a message. I suck at socializing so I will probably never message you first, but that doesn't mean I dislike talking to you.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like long-term relationships and story-heavy plots. I suck at making my own plots, but I am always happy to be a part of someone else's story!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you do not like Vincent, or if she doesn't mesh well with your character, yet you would still like to role-play with me, I do have other characters who are vastly different.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like to bend lore for the sake of story if called for, but not break it. If someone not conforming to the lore to a T sets you off, you may want to skip on anything more than brief, casual interactions with my characters. If your character is a Miqo'te Dragoon female Nunh WoL Voidsent, likewise, you may want to find someone more up to your speed instead of me! I prefer a healthy middle-ground. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I typically try to avoid combat RP. If somehow it happens despite this, I am often flexible between freeform, rolling, etc. and prefer to do whatever feels best in each individual situation.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am okay with (loosely) planning RP if you have an idea you want to bring up. I do not like RP that is highly scripted, or gives my character a narrow choice of options to react for no discernible IC reason. I am also okay with walk-ups. If you see me anywhere, even if you've never spoken to me before, feel free to post at me! If I am not IC, I will let you know. If I don't respond, it just means I'm afk--sorry! I afk a lot.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you ever have any questions or need clarification about anything whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask. I am a very open person and in the odd case anything does make me uncomfortable, I will simply tell you that. Even if it's mid-RP, I am not one of those "muh 'mmersion!!" people, so I promise I won't be bothered!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell letting me know immediately. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion or avoiding "metagaming." I do care about your feelings, comfort, and enjoyment of the RP! I am fine dialing things back, or dropping a role-play with no hard feelings if we are just not compatible.</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Friends and acquaintances?''' Friends, acquaintances, allies, and business contacts are always welcome. These will need to happen naturally rather than our characters being forced into a friendship that might not suit them. Vincent is easygoing and can get along with most characters, but tends to get along best with characters who are neither very arrogant nor very helpless. Vincent is always glad to make business contacts, typically anyone who can help feed her hobby of tinkering (supplying information or parts) or those who want to patronize her services as a mechanic and engineer. Vincent rarely leaves Thanalan, so contacts that are often in Thanalan are preferred, but I can have her travel if need be.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Enemies and rivals?''' Enemies are always welcome, pending certain conditions. Vincent tries to avoid trouble with most people, but she will step up if someone is being harassed or someone is acting like a genuine asshole, and she will not take being harassed lying down, which can lead to conflicts. I am not interested in RPing with anyone who will harass my character to the point of me having to avoid public RP in the name of "antagonist" RP. I also do not want to RP with anyone who will be sour or demand to retcon if harassing Vincent lands their character in trouble they didn't expect. PLEASE, PLEASE do not ask to take an antagonist role if you are not okay with this and what it might mean for your character (I will try to avoid situations where your character might be killed or permanently imprisoned and give your character an out if possible, and I ask you do the same for me, but disbelief can only be suspended so much before the RP stops being fun).</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Family?''' I don't have much pre-established for Vincent's family, so the roles of her family, close or distant, are open. Parents and siblings (half-blooded or full-blooded) are available for play as are less close relatives such as cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Her father's name is C'sapa Nunh. Any relatives would be need to be Seekers originally from the Couerl tribe, preferably her sect in the Sagoli. A slight physical resemblance to Vincent would be nice, but less important the more distant the relation. Any family members will need to be discussed to work out the details and receive my permission.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Lovers?''' Vincent is in a long-term, committed relationship, and will not cheat or leave her lover for anyone. That said, her relationship may not be entirely monogamous, but this only applies to female characters (and any interest would likely be more sexual than romantic), as her spouse is a heterosexual man and would likely not want to be left out. Any sexual scenes will be faded-to-black. If you want your character to have romantic/sexual feelings for Vincent for any reason, that's fine, please just respect me and the player of Vincent's spouse OOC, and do not expect your character's feelings to ever be returned or fulfilled.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Past connections?''' I am open to past connections with some discussion to work out the details and my permission given, if you would like to have some pre-established foundation for our characters to build upon rather than starting fresh. Some likely connections would be other members from the Coeurl tribe (particularly her sect), others who lived in the Sagoli that she might have bumped into in her time with her tribe, those who frequented Ul'dah after her exile from her tribe (particularly other street dwellers, or Quicksand lurkers she might have shared a drink or a night with), anyone who might her hired in Ul'dah as a prostitute or goon during her time spent homeless, or anyone who she might have pickpocketed from, been confronted by (law enforcement i.e. Brass Blades), or been hired to rough up during that time. I am open to any suggestions not mentioned here.</font></div><br />

A rags-to-riches Ul'dahn street rat that worked his way up the criminal ladder. His initial work and experience came in the form of petty crime and small gangs, whatever it took to eek out a living. Eventually, his actions became known by a much larger syndicate, and soon he was drafted in its ranks.</font><div align=center;><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Vincent--or Vinnie, as most people call him--stands at about 5'8" and has a fairly slender frame. He's not particularly strong. While he keeps himself in shape and maintains a toned body, he relies mostly on various gadgets, weapons, intelligence, speed and agility to help him during an altercation. His skin is mostly pale with a slight tan. He has a scar along the right side of his cheek, though it is typically covered up by his long crimson hair. The left side of his face is generally kept open, openly showing a tribal tattoo given to him when he joined one of the Ul'dahn street gangs. Vincent's eyes are turqoise, rounded and upturned toward the edges while his brows are thin and dark. <br />
<br />
Vinnie can almost always be found wearing a suit, typically dark blue or black and a pair of dark shades to match. He prioritizes his personal appearance over almost everything else, knowing that one must look respectable in order to be respected. He commands himself with a sense of professionalism when on the job, and dressing in anything less would ruin that.<br />
<br />
'''Speech:''' Vincent tries his best to articulate his speech, but it isn't long until his street lifestyle catches up to him. He typically carries a casual tone to his voice, though work seems to denote something more demanding out of him. <br />

<div align=left padding-bottom=20><font style="color: #000; font-size:13px; letter-spacing: 0em;"><br />
<br />
Vincent is laid back, and therefore doesn't seek to harm people he doesn't have to. He is mostly friendly, knowing all too well that knowledge is power and, in his line of work, one must network as much as they can. He doesn't have much in the way of a temper, but when provoked, rather than invoking some sort of explosive anger, Vinnie falls into a calm rage. Any pretense of that kind, happy-go-lucky attitude is lost and he falls strictly to business, or in some cases, work. <br />
<br />
He doesn't have much in the way of morals. Rather, he knows how one should act and does so just enough to get by, but he isn't one to lecture other people on their use of drugs or alcohol. He's quite fond of the latter, himself, and has only been known to make use of the former during a particularly wild party or after inviting a few women back to his room. Speaking of pleasures, Vincent is open to just about anything, though he is not interested in men. He has a "try anything once" type of attitude, and thinks that one must live the one life they've been given to the fullest and experience all that it has to offer.<br />
<br />
Work has him do many questionable things, from ransom to murder to extortion and everything in between. However, Vincent does have a strict code he follows. He will not be involved in slavery, and has no desire for sexual assault. One of the few times he'd come to another's aid is during such cases, believing that all people have the right to be as free as they can or choose to be.<br />
<br />

<br />
Vincent's early life is that of any Ul'dahn orphan: harsh. He lived in the orphanage until he was no longer capable of staying, partially due to it being too full and moreso because he kept causing problems. What he didn't have, he wanted. What he couldn't get, he forcibly took. Vincent was never one to harm others unless he absolutely had to. This led him to stealing from vendors and the more fortunate rather than outright seeking to brawl or kill. But things weren't always successful, and he often returned with bruises and injuries from when he was caught, either by the target or another gang's territory. <br />
<br />
The matron of the orphanage had little in the way of choice when it came to Vincent. Barely twelve years of age, he'd already caused them their fair share of trouble. He was cast out on the streets, forced to fend for himself. Eventually he caught up with the gangs that he'd already made a name for himself in and joined their ranks. There was no order or structure present; just a group of kids and semi-likeminded individuals trying to eek out a living in the harsh Ul'dahn streets. As they grew together, so did the bonds between them, and eventually they became more family than friends.<br />
<br />
This family soon grew into a semi-legitimate organization, or at least as legitimate as a group of ruffians could be. There was some order to it, but only the bare minimum. Those that had been there the longest would act as the leader's lieutenants, and Vincent managed to earn himself a spot there. Each lieutenant was in charge of various interests for the gang, from drugs to prostitution and everything in between.<br />
<br />
Their endeavors soon caught the attention of rival gangs, and it wasn't long before wars began to erupt between the various groups. No one gang was better than the other, and the result was little more than chaos in the streets. Neither faction was willing to give up what territory they had gained, but none of them was willing to settle for what they'd had. It simply became the way of the city, and already dangerous streets became that much more so, especially where territories met.<br />
<br />
And then, one by one, all of the gangs began to fall in line. The bloodshed ceased and soon it came to be that the violence settled. Vincent's gang assumed that they'd managed to somehow come out on top. With at least a tenuous peace, Vincent was looking forward to relaxing as he did before, no longer having to look over his shoulder. At least, not as much as before. Yet, his boss wanted more. He saw the peace as an opportunity for rapid expansion, catching the other gangs off guard and taking their territory one by one. Vincent pleaded to let them be and just enjoy what they had, but it wasn't enough.<br />
<br />
It didn't take long for their actions to reach the ears of others. Suits, as they were known, were ghost stories that gang members shared amongst themselves in hopes of spooking one another on the way home. Whenever someone suddenly vanished, it was the Suits. When no gang was willing to claim a hit, the Suits were to blame. Most had already considered them little more than a product of the times they lived in, and yet, standing before Vinnie and the other Lieutenants were six of them. Their offer was simple; enjoy what was already freely given, and live.<br />
<br />
Vincent's boss had little to hear of it. He refused to believe that anything had been "given" to them, as he was the one giving the orders. There were no Suits present when they took over rival gangs, and there were certainly none about when they formed themselves. He ordered the rest of his gang to continue as they had with little care of the consequences, believing the six men and women that came to them to be little more than a joke from the other gangs. At barely twenty years of age, Vincent knew trouble when he saw it. Yet, this was his family. It was the only life he knew, and he'd do whatever it took to preserve that. Against his better judgement, Vincent agreed to help lead strikes into rival territory. One by one, the other gangs began to fall, and little by little their own expanded. <br />
<br />
And then, just like that, it was all over. They'd gone over the plans countless times. They could recite the street and adjacent territories like they'd studied them their whole lives. Hells, they practically had. They knew every detail, down to each sign post, trash bin, and shop. Yet, nothing could prepare them for what awaited. What was meant to be a quick takeover of an enemy base--an abandoned storage house deep within the city--became a massacre. There were several factions waiting on them, all with weapons well beyond their means. The battle--if you could even call it that--was over in moments, and Vincent was never seen again.<br />
<br />
Some say they saw him shot. Others claimed he was caught in an explosion. Yet still some were convinced that he'd been carried out by rival gang members. By all accounts he was presumed dead, and a part of that was true. Vincent Laurentius, the cocky, street-smart thug was forever changed that night. The Suits had taken him, offering a life of luxury should he only follow their code. In exchange for riches beyond his dreams and a life well beyond any means he'd previously had--or have, he need only give them his life. Vincent accepted with open arms. After all, the alternative was surely death.<br />

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">A woman that Vincent happened to run into during a long night at work. It had been a slow evening, and seeing the gorgeous woman dressed up gave him a bit of hope that the evening wouldn't end on a stale note. Thankfully, he was correct! She accepted his advances and went up to his room with him, where he caught her pickpocketing his jacket. Rather than call the authorities (because that wouldn't have helped things), Vincent offered her a deal. If she agreed to help him out and tend to his "needs," he would make sure that she wanted for nothing. He pulled some strings with the Turks to land her a job, ensuring she remained conveniently close at all times. What was initially a partnership of convenience soon became love, and Vincent makes more than certain to keep his original promise.</div><br />

Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment. Most walk-up encounters.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Ask about''' long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. Fake/temporary character "deaths." Anything likely to deal permanent and severe psychological trauma to my character. Pre-established relationships. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''I won't play''' permanent character death. Erotic role-play. Fetish fulfillment. Lolicon/shotacon. Any sexual themes involving children, objectively child-like characters, or animals. Any sexual themes with players who are minors OOC. Excessively detailed and overly descriptive gore. Long, drawn out, descriptive torture scenes. Sexual/romantic relationships or requited feelings when my character is already in a serious relationship.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Please do not''' metagame, autohit, godmod, powerplay, role-play to win, or be a bad sport. Take OOC hiccups IC (typos, accidental button pressing, afking, etc.), bring IC into OOC, bring OOC into IC. Lecture me on lore, disrespect my OOC boundaries, disrespect my RP partners, be inconsiderate of my time (hour long waits for posts, demanding I spend more time with you, guilt-trip me for RPing with others, etc.). Write so much purple prose I cannot understand/find the actual action of your post. Fail to respect if I tell you I'm uncomfortable with something, attempt OOC to force our characters into a certain relationship, do underhanded OOC things to try to sabotage my character's relationship with another character (or mine with their player), say racist/sexist/homophobic/otherwise offensive things to me OOC, or lie to me or otherwise cause drama OOC. These are dealbreakers, and I may drop all contact with you without further warning if any of these things happen (I am understanding of accidental/innocent mistakes like the occasional autohit or bit of subconscious metagaming). I know this probably sounds super paranoid, but I only mention each of these things because they are things that have happened before--often more than once!</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am on the Balmung server.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am over 18.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I do freestyle posting, most often para-RP with a paragraph or two. I will typically try to post-to-match, but if you do nothing but one-liners or nothing but huge multi-para posts, I may settle on something more moderate. I do not mind your post style, so long as your posts have interesting content I can respond to and I do not have to struggle through long descriptions that are useless to me or make no sense. I do like posts that are lacking in empty, flowery verbage yet still contain some description and artistry, so I would ideally like to find other para-RPers, but I am not picky!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am primarily looking for in game role-play, or at least RP with characters also from Balmung, but I am open to role-play via RPC PM's or threads, Enjin PM's or threads, Skype messages, or Discord messages or channels. Please send me a PM on the RPC or a /tell in game to ask for my handles. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am in EST timezone. My schedule is somewhat sporadic, so I am on at odd hours. I am usually online somewhere between 2PM - 3AM EST. Most often, you can find me online between 9PM - 2AM EST. I recommend starting any RP by midnight, since I am often winding down and getting ready for bed after that point.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■Along with RP, I am glad to just chat or maybe do some PvE content, or play other games outside of FFXIV. Please don't ever feel you're bothering me if you send me a message. I suck at socializing so I will probably never message you first, but that doesn't mean I dislike talking to you.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like long-term relationships and story-heavy plots. I suck at making my own plots, but I am always happy to be a part of someone else's story!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you do not like Vincent, or if she doesn't mesh well with your character, yet you would still like to role-play with me, I do have other characters who are vastly different.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like to bend lore for the sake of story if called for, but not break it. If someone not conforming to the lore to a T sets you off, you may want to skip on anything more than brief, casual interactions with my characters. If your character is a Miqo'te Dragoon female Nunh WoL Voidsent, likewise, you may want to find someone more up to your speed instead of me! I prefer a healthy middle-ground. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I typically try to avoid combat RP. If somehow it happens despite this, I am often flexible between freeform, rolling, etc. and prefer to do whatever feels best in each individual situation.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am okay with (loosely) planning RP if you have an idea you want to bring up. I do not like RP that is highly scripted, or gives my character a narrow choice of options to react for no discernible IC reason. I am also okay with walk-ups. If you see me anywhere, even if you've never spoken to me before, feel free to post at me! If I am not IC, I will let you know. If I don't respond, it just means I'm afk--sorry! I afk a lot.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you ever have any questions or need clarification about anything whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask. I am a very open person and in the odd case anything does make me uncomfortable, I will simply tell you that. Even if it's mid-RP, I am not one of those "muh 'mmersion!!" people, so I promise I won't be bothered!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell letting me know immediately. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion or avoiding "metagaming." I do care about your feelings, comfort, and enjoyment of the RP! I am fine dialing things back, or dropping a role-play with no hard feelings if we are just not compatible.</font></div><br />

<div style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 5px 0px; background: #0b154f; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF; font-family:tahoma; text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px black; letter-spacing:0.25em;border-radius:15px;"><center>'''RP Hooks'''</center></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Friends and acquaintances?''' Friends, acquaintances, allies, and business contacts are always welcome. These will need to happen naturally rather than our characters being forced into a friendship that might not suit them. Vincent is easygoing and can get along with most characters, but tends to get along best with characters who are neither very arrogant nor very helpless. Vincent is always glad to make business contacts, typically anyone who can help feed her hobby of tinkering (supplying information or parts) or those who want to patronize her services as a mechanic and engineer. Vincent rarely leaves Thanalan, so contacts that are often in Thanalan are preferred, but I can have her travel if need be.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Enemies and rivals?''' Enemies are always welcome, pending certain conditions. Vincent tries to avoid trouble with most people, but she will step up if someone is being harassed or someone is acting like a genuine asshole, and she will not take being harassed lying down, which can lead to conflicts. I am not interested in RPing with anyone who will harass my character to the point of me having to avoid public RP in the name of "antagonist" RP. I also do not want to RP with anyone who will be sour or demand to retcon if harassing Vincent lands their character in trouble they didn't expect. PLEASE, PLEASE do not ask to take an antagonist role if you are not okay with this and what it might mean for your character (I will try to avoid situations where your character might be killed or permanently imprisoned and give your character an out if possible, and I ask you do the same for me, but disbelief can only be suspended so much before the RP stops being fun).</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Family?''' I don't have much pre-established for Vincent's family, so the roles of her family, close or distant, are open. Parents and siblings (half-blooded or full-blooded) are available for play as are less close relatives such as cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Her father's name is C'sapa Nunh. Any relatives would be need to be Seekers originally from the Couerl tribe, preferably her sect in the Sagoli. A slight physical resemblance to Vincent would be nice, but less important the more distant the relation. Any family members will need to be discussed to work out the details and receive my permission.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Lovers?''' Vincent is in a long-term, committed relationship, and will not cheat or leave her lover for anyone. That said, her relationship may not be entirely monogamous, but this only applies to female characters (and any interest would likely be more sexual than romantic), as her spouse is a heterosexual man and would likely not want to be left out. Any sexual scenes will be faded-to-black. If you want your character to have romantic/sexual feelings for Vincent for any reason, that's fine, please just respect me and the player of Vincent's spouse OOC, and do not expect your character's feelings to ever be returned or fulfilled.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Past connections?''' I am open to past connections with some discussion to work out the details and my permission given, if you would like to have some pre-established foundation for our characters to build upon rather than starting fresh. Some likely connections would be other members from the Coeurl tribe (particularly her sect), others who lived in the Sagoli that she might have bumped into in her time with her tribe, those who frequented Ul'dah after her exile from her tribe (particularly other street dwellers, or Quicksand lurkers she might have shared a drink or a night with), anyone who might her hired in Ul'dah as a prostitute or goon during her time spent homeless, or anyone who she might have pickpocketed from, been confronted by (law enforcement i.e. Brass Blades), or been hired to rough up during that time. I am open to any suggestions not mentioned here.</font></div><br />

A rags-to-riches Ul'dahn street rat that worked his way up the criminal ladder. His initial work and experience came in the form of petty crime and small gangs, whatever it took to eek out a living.

<!-- TEXT --><br />
<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Vincent--or Vinnie, as most people call him--stands at about 5'8" and has a fairly slender frame. He's not particularly strong. While he keeps himself in shape and maintains a toned body, he relies mostly on various gadgets, weapons, intelligence, speed and agility to help him during an altercation. His skin is mostly pale with a slight tan. He has a scar along the right side of his cheek, though it is typically covered up by his long crimson hair. The left side of his face is generally kept open, openly showing a tribal tattoo given to him when he joined one of the Ul'dahn street gangs. Vincent's eyes are turqoise, rounded and upturned toward the edges while his brows are thin and dark. <br />
<br />
Vinnie can almost always be found wearing a suit, typically dark blue or black and a pair of dark shades to match. He prioritizes his personal appearance over almost everything else, knowing that one must look respectable in order to be respected. He commands himself with a sense of professionalism when on the job, and dressing in anything less would ruin that.<br />
<br />
'''Speech:''' Vincent tries his best to articulate his speech, but it isn't long until his street lifestyle catches up to him. He typically carries a casual tone to his voice, though work seems to denote something more demanding out of him. <br />

<div align=left padding-bottom=20><font style="color: #000; font-size:13px; letter-spacing: 0em;"><br />
<br />
Vincent is laid back, and therefore doesn't seek to harm people he doesn't have to. He is mostly friendly, knowing all too well that knowledge is power and, in his line of work, one must network as much as they can. He doesn't have much in the way of a temper, but when provoked, rather than invoking some sort of explosive anger, Vinnie falls into a calm rage. Any pretense of that kind, happy-go-lucky attitude is lost and he falls strictly to business, or in some cases, work. <br />

He doesn't have much in the way of morals. Rather, he knows how one should act and does so just enough to get by, but he isn't one to lecture other people on their use of drugs or alcohol. He's quite fond of the latter, himself, and has only been known to make use of the former during a particularly wild party or after inviting a few women back to his room. Speaking of pleasures, Vincent is open to just about anything, though he is not interested in men. He has a "try anything once" type of attitude, and thinks that one must live the one life they've been given to the fullest and experience all that it has to offer.<br />
<br />
Work has him do many questionable things, from ransom to murder to extortion and everything in between. However, Vincent does have a strict code he follows. He will not be involved in slavery, and has no desire for sexual assault. One of the few times he'd come to another's aid is during such cases, believing that all people have the right to be as free as they can or choose to be.<br />
<br />

<br />
Vincent's early life is that of any Ul'dahn orphan: harsh. He lived in the orphanage until he was no longer capable of staying, partially due to it being too full and moreso because he kept causing problems. What he didn't have, he wanted. What he couldn't get, he forcibly took. Vincent was never one to harm others unless he absolutely had to. This led him to stealing from vendors and the more fortunate rather than outright seeking to brawl or kill. But things weren't always successful, and he often returned with bruises and injuries from when he was caught, either by the target or another gang's territory. <br />
<br />
The matron of the orphanage had little in the way of choice when it came to Vincent. Barely twelve years of age, he'd already caused them their fair share of trouble. He was cast out on the streets, forced to fend for himself. Eventually he caught up with the gangs that he'd already made a name for himself in and joined their ranks. There was no order or structure present; just a group of kids and semi-likeminded individuals trying to eek out a living in the harsh Ul'dahn streets. As they grew together, so did the bonds between them, and eventually they became more family than friends.<br />
<br />
This family soon grew into a semi-legitimate organization, or at least as legitimate as a group of ruffians could be. There was some order to it, but only the bare minimum. Those that had been there the longest would act as the leader's lieutenants, and Vincent managed to earn himself a spot there. Each lieutenant was in charge of various interests for the gang, from drugs to prostitution and everything in between.<br />
<br />
Their endeavors soon caught the attention of rival gangs, and it wasn't long before wars began to erupt between the various groups. No one gang was better than the other, and the result was little more than chaos in the streets. Neither faction was willing to give up what territory they had gained, but none of them was willing to settle for what they'd had. It simply became the way of the city, and already dangerous streets became that much more so, especially where territories met.<br />
<br />
And then, one by one, all of the gangs began to fall in line. The bloodshed ceased and soon it came to be that the violence settled. Vincent's gang assumed that they'd managed to somehow come out on top. With at least a tenuous peace, Vincent was looking forward to relaxing as he did before, no longer having to look over his shoulder. At least, not as much as before. Yet, his boss wanted more. He saw the peace as an opportunity for rapid expansion, catching the other gangs off guard and taking their territory one by one. Vincent pleaded to let them be and just enjoy what they had, but it wasn't enough.<br />
<br />
It didn't take long for their actions to reach the ears of others. Suits, as they were known, were ghost stories that gang members shared amongst themselves in hopes of spooking one another on the way home. Whenever someone suddenly vanished, it was the Suits. When no gang was willing to claim a hit, the Suits were to blame. Most had already considered them little more than a product of the times they lived in, and yet, standing before Vinnie and the other Lieutenants were six of them. Their offer was simple; enjoy what was already freely given, and live.<br />
<br />
Vincent's boss had little to hear of it. He refused to believe that anything had been "given" to them, as he was the one giving the orders. There were no Suits present when they took over rival gangs, and there were certainly none about when they formed themselves. He ordered the rest of his gang to continue as they had with little care of the consequences, believing the six men and women that came to them to be little more than a joke from the other gangs. At barely twenty years of age, Vincent knew trouble when he saw it. Yet, this was his family. It was the only life he knew, and he'd do whatever it took to preserve that. Against his better judgement, Vincent agreed to help lead strikes into rival territory. One by one, the other gangs began to fall, and little by little their own expanded. <br />
<br />
And then, just like that, it was all over. They'd gone over the plans countless times. They could recite the street and adjacent territories like they'd studied them their whole lives. Hells, they practically had. They knew every detail, down to each sign post, trash bin, and shop. Yet, nothing could prepare them for what awaited. What was meant to be a quick takeover of an enemy base--an abandoned storage house deep within the city--became a massacre. There were several factions waiting on them, all with weapons well beyond their means. The battle--if you could even call it that--was over in moments, and Vincent was never seen again.<br />
<br />
Some say they saw him shot. Others claimed he was caught in an explosion. Yet still some were convinced that he'd been carried out by rival gang members. By all accounts he was presumed dead, and a part of that was true. Vincent Laurentius, the cocky, street-smart thug was forever changed that night. The Suits had taken him, offering a life of luxury should he only follow their code. In exchange for riches beyond his dreams and a life well beyond any means he'd previously had--or have, he need only give them his life. Vincent accepted with open arms. After all, the alternative was surely death.<br />

It had been a slow evening, and seeing the gorgeous woman dressed up gave him a bit of hope that the evening wouldn't end on a stale note. Thankfully, he was correct! She accepted his advances and went up to his room with him, where he caught her pickpocketing his jacket. Rather than call the authorities (because that wouldn't have helped things), Vincent offered her a deal. If she agreed to help him out and tend to his "needs," he would make sure that she wanted for nothing.

I do like posts that are lacking in empty, flowery verbage yet still contain some description and artistry, so I would ideally like to find other para-RPers, but I am not picky!</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I typically try to avoid combat RP. If somehow it happens despite this, I am often flexible between freeform, rolling, etc. and prefer to do whatever feels best in each individual situation.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am okay with (loosely) planning RP if you have an idea you want to bring up. I do not like RP that is highly scripted, or gives my character a narrow choice of options to react for no discernible IC reason. I am also okay with walk-ups. If you see me anywhere, even if you've never spoken to me before, feel free to post at me! If I am not IC, I will let you know. If I don't respond, it just means I'm afk--sorry! I afk a lot.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you ever have any questions or need clarification about anything whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask. I am a very open person and in the odd case anything does make me uncomfortable, I will simply tell you that. Even if it's mid-RP, I am not one of those "muh 'mmersion!!" people, so I promise I won't be bothered!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell letting me know immediately. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion or avoiding "metagaming." I do care about your feelings, comfort, and enjoyment of the RP! I am fine dialing things back, or dropping a role-play with no hard feelings if we are just not compatible.</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Friends and acquaintances?''' Friends, acquaintances, allies, and business contacts are always welcome. These will need to happen naturally rather than our characters being forced into a friendship that might not suit them. Vincent is easygoing and can get along with most characters, but tends to get along best with characters who are neither very arrogant nor very helpless. Vincent is always glad to make business contacts, typically anyone who can help feed her hobby of tinkering (supplying information or parts) or those who want to patronize her services as a mechanic and engineer. Vincent rarely leaves Thanalan, so contacts that are often in Thanalan are preferred, but I can have her travel if need be.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Enemies and rivals?''' Enemies are always welcome, pending certain conditions. Vincent tries to avoid trouble with most people, but she will step up if someone is being harassed or someone is acting like a genuine asshole, and she will not take being harassed lying down, which can lead to conflicts. I am not interested in RPing with anyone who will harass my character to the point of me having to avoid public RP in the name of "antagonist" RP. I also do not want to RP with anyone who will be sour or demand to retcon if harassing Vincent lands their character in trouble they didn't expect. PLEASE, PLEASE do not ask to take an antagonist role if you are not okay with this and what it might mean for your character (I will try to avoid situations where your character might be killed or permanently imprisoned and give your character an out if possible, and I ask you do the same for me, but disbelief can only be suspended so much before the RP stops being fun).</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Family?''' I don't have much pre-established for Vincent's family, so the roles of her family, close or distant, are open. Parents and siblings (half-blooded or full-blooded) are available for play as are less close relatives such as cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Her father's name is C'sapa Nunh. Any relatives would be need to be Seekers originally from the Couerl tribe, preferably her sect in the Sagoli. A slight physical resemblance to Vincent would be nice, but less important the more distant the relation. Any family members will need to be discussed to work out the details and receive my permission.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Lovers?''' Vincent is in a long-term, committed relationship, and will not cheat or leave her lover for anyone. That said, her relationship may not be entirely monogamous, but this only applies to female characters (and any interest would likely be more sexual than romantic), as her spouse is a heterosexual man and would likely not want to be left out. Any sexual scenes will be faded-to-black. If you want your character to have romantic/sexual feelings for Vincent for any reason, that's fine, please just respect me and the player of Vincent's spouse OOC, and do not expect your character's feelings to ever be returned or fulfilled.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Past connections?''' I am open to past connections with some discussion to work out the details and my permission given, if you would like to have some pre-established foundation for our characters to build upon rather than starting fresh. Some likely connections would be other members from the Coeurl tribe (particularly her sect), others who lived in the Sagoli that she might have bumped into in her time with her tribe, those who frequented Ul'dah after her exile from her tribe (particularly other street dwellers, or Quicksand lurkers she might have shared a drink or a night with), anyone who might her hired in Ul'dah as a prostitute or goon during her time spent homeless, or anyone who she might have pickpocketed from, been confronted by (law enforcement i.e. Brass Blades), or been hired to rough up during that time. I am open to any suggestions not mentioned here.</font></div><br />

A rags-to-riches Ul'dahn street rat that worked his way up the criminal ladder. His initial work and experience came in the form of petty crime and small gangs, whatever it took to eek out a living. Eventually, his actions became known by a much larger syndicate, and soon he was drafted in its ranks.</font><div align=center;><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Vincent--or Vinnie, as most people call him--stands at about 5'8" and has a fairly slender frame. He's not particularly strong. While he keeps himself in shape and maintains a toned body, he relies mostly on various gadgets, weapons, intelligence, speed and agility to help him during an altercation. His skin is mostly pale with a slight tan. He has a scar along the right side of his cheek, though it is typically covered up by his long crimson hair. The left side of his face is generally kept open, openly showing a tribal tattoo given to him when he joined one of the Ul'dahn street gangs. Vincent's eyes are turqoise, rounded and upturned toward the edges while his brows are thin and dark. <br />
<br />
Vinnie can almost always be found wearing a suit, typically dark blue or black and a pair of dark shades to match. He prioritizes his personal appearance over almost everything else, knowing that one must look respectable in order to be respected. He commands himself with a sense of professionalism when on the job, and dressing in anything less would ruin that.<br />
<br />
'''Speech:''' Vincent tries his best to articulate his speech, but it isn't long until his street lifestyle catches up to him. He typically carries a casual tone to his voice, though work seems to denote something more demanding out of him. <br />

<div align=left padding-bottom=20><font style="color: #000; font-size:13px; letter-spacing: 0em;"><br />
<br />
Vincent is laid back, and therefore doesn't seek to harm people he doesn't have to. He is mostly friendly, knowing all too well that knowledge is power and, in his line of work, one must network as much as they can. He doesn't have much in the way of a temper, but when provoked, rather than invoking some sort of explosive anger, Vinnie falls into a calm rage. Any pretense of that kind, happy-go-lucky attitude is lost and he falls strictly to business, or in some cases, work. <br />
<br />
He doesn't have much in the way of morals. Rather, he knows how one should act and does so just enough to get by, but he isn't one to lecture other people on their use of drugs or alcohol. He's quite fond of the latter, himself, and has only been known to make use of the former during a particularly wild party or after inviting a few women back to his room. Speaking of pleasures, Vincent is open to just about anything, though he is not interested in men. He has a "try anything once" type of attitude, and thinks that one must live the one life they've been given to the fullest and experience all that it has to offer.<br />
<br />
Work has him do many questionable things, from ransom to murder to extortion and everything in between. However, Vincent does have a strict code he follows. He will not be involved in slavery, and has no desire for sexual assault. One of the few times he'd come to another's aid is during such cases, believing that all people have the right to be as free as they can or choose to be.<br />
<br />
:'''Motivations:''' Grow his personal wealth, but have fun while doing so.<br />

<br />
Vincent's early life is that of any Ul'dahn orphan: harsh. He lived in the orphanage until he was no longer capable of staying, partially due to it being too full and moreso because he kept causing problems. What he didn't have, he wanted. What he couldn't get, he forcibly took. Vincent was never one to harm others unless he absolutely had to. This led him to stealing from vendors and the more fortunate rather than outright seeking to brawl or kill. But things weren't always successful, and he often returned with bruises and injuries from when he was caught, either by the target or another gang's territory. <br />
<br />
The matron of the orphanage had little in the way of choice when it came to Vincent. Barely twelve years of age, he'd already caused them their fair share of trouble. He was cast out on the streets, forced to fend for himself. Eventually he caught up with the gangs that he'd already made a name for himself in and joined their ranks. There was no order or structure present; just a group of kids and semi-likeminded individuals trying to eek out a living in the harsh Ul'dahn streets. As they grew together, so did the bonds between them, and eventually they became more family than friends.<br />
<br />
This family soon grew into a semi-legitimate organization, or at least as legitimate as a group of ruffians could be. There was some order to it, but only the bare minimum. Those that had been there the longest would act as the leader's lieutenants, and Vincent managed to earn himself a spot there. Each lieutenant was in charge of various interests for the gang, from drugs to prostitution and everything in between.<br />
<br />
Their endeavors soon caught the attention of rival gangs, and it wasn't long before wars began to erupt between the various groups. No one gang was better than the other, and the result was little more than chaos in the streets. Neither faction was willing to give up what territory they had gained, but none of them was willing to settle for what they'd had. It simply became the way of the city, and already dangerous streets became that much more so, especially where territories met.<br />
<br />
And then, one by one, all of the gangs began to fall in line. The bloodshed ceased and soon it came to be that the violence settled. Vincent's gang assumed that they'd managed to somehow come out on top. With at least a tenuous peace, Vincent was looking forward to relaxing as he did before, no longer having to look over his shoulder. At least, not as much as before. Yet, his boss wanted more. He saw the peace as an opportunity for rapid expansion, catching the other gangs off guard and taking their territory one by one. Vincent pleaded to let them be and just enjoy what they had, but it wasn't enough.<br />
<br />
It didn't take long for their actions to reach the ears of others. Suits, as they were known, were ghost stories that gang members shared amongst themselves in hopes of spooking one another on the way home. Whenever someone suddenly vanished, it was the Suits. When no gang was willing to claim a hit, the Suits were to blame. Most had already considered them little more than a product of the times they lived in, and yet, standing before Vinnie and the other Lieutenants were six of them. Their offer was simple; enjoy what was already freely given, and live.<br />
<br />
Vincent's boss had little to hear of it. He refused to believe that anything had been "given" to them, as he was the one giving the orders. There were no Suits present when they took over rival gangs, and there were certainly none about when they formed themselves. He ordered the rest of his gang to continue as they had with little care of the consequences, believing the six men and women that came to them to be little more than a joke from the other gangs. At barely twenty years of age, Vincent knew trouble when he saw it. Yet, this was his family. It was the only life he knew, and he'd do whatever it took to preserve that. Against his better judgement, Vincent agreed to help lead strikes into rival territory. One by one, the other gangs began to fall, and little by little their own expanded. <br />
<br />
And then, just like that, it was all over. They'd gone over the plans countless times. They could recite the street and adjacent territories like they'd studied them their whole lives. Hells, they practically had. They knew every detail, down to each sign post, trash bin, and shop. Yet, nothing could prepare them for what awaited. What was meant to be a quick takeover of an enemy base--an abandoned storage house deep within the city--became a massacre. There were several factions waiting on them, all with weapons well beyond their means. The battle--if you could even call it that--was over in moments, and Vincent was never seen again.<br />
<br />
Some say they saw him shot. Others claimed he was caught in an explosion. Yet still some were convinced that he'd been carried out by rival gang members. By all accounts he was presumed dead, and a part of that was true. Vincent Laurentius, the cocky, street-smart thug was forever changed that night. The Suits had taken him, offering a life of luxury should he only follow their code. In exchange for riches beyond his dreams and a life well beyond any means he'd previously had--or have, he need only give them his life. Vincent accepted with open arms. After all, the alternative was surely death.<br />

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">A woman that Vincent happened to run into during a long night at work. It had been a slow evening, and seeing the gorgeous woman dressed up gave him a bit of hope that the evening wouldn't end on a stale note. Thankfully, he was correct! She accepted his advances and went up to his room with him, where he caught her pickpocketing his jacket. Rather than call the authorities (because that wouldn't have helped things), Vincent offered her a deal. If she agreed to help him out and tend to his "needs," he would make sure that she wanted for nothing. He pulled some strings with the Turks to land her a job, ensuring she remained conveniently close at all times. What was initially a partnership of convenience soon became love, and Vincent makes more than certain to keep his original promise.</div><br />

Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment. Most walk-up encounters.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Ask about''' long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. Fake/temporary character "deaths." Anything likely to deal permanent and severe psychological trauma to my character. Pre-established relationships. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''I won't play''' permanent character death. Erotic role-play. Fetish fulfillment. Lolicon/shotacon. Any sexual themes involving children, objectively child-like characters, or animals. Any sexual themes with players who are minors OOC. Excessively detailed and overly descriptive gore. Long, drawn out, descriptive torture scenes. Sexual/romantic relationships or requited feelings when my character is already in a serious relationship.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Please do not''' metagame, autohit, godmod, powerplay, role-play to win, or be a bad sport. Take OOC hiccups IC (typos, accidental button pressing, afking, etc.), bring IC into OOC, bring OOC into IC. Lecture me on lore, disrespect my OOC boundaries, disrespect my RP partners, be inconsiderate of my time (hour long waits for posts, demanding I spend more time with you, guilt-trip me for RPing with others, etc.). Write so much purple prose I cannot understand/find the actual action of your post. Fail to respect if I tell you I'm uncomfortable with something, attempt OOC to force our characters into a certain relationship, do underhanded OOC things to try to sabotage my character's relationship with another character (or mine with their player), say racist/sexist/homophobic/otherwise offensive things to me OOC, or lie to me or otherwise cause drama OOC. These are dealbreakers, and I may drop all contact with you without further warning if any of these things happen (I am understanding of accidental/innocent mistakes like the occasional autohit or bit of subconscious metagaming). I know this probably sounds super paranoid, but I only mention each of these things because they are things that have happened before--often more than once!</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am on the Balmung server.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am over 18.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I do freestyle posting, most often para-RP with a paragraph or two. I will typically try to post-to-match, but if you do nothing but one-liners or nothing but huge multi-para posts, I may settle on something more moderate. I do not mind your post style, so long as your posts have interesting content I can respond to and I do not have to struggle through long descriptions that are useless to me or make no sense. I do like posts that are lacking in empty, flowery verbage yet still contain some description and artistry, so I would ideally like to find other para-RPers, but I am not picky!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am primarily looking for in game role-play, or at least RP with characters also from Balmung, but I am open to role-play via RPC PM's or threads, Enjin PM's or threads, Skype messages, or Discord messages or channels. Please send me a PM on the RPC or a /tell in game to ask for my handles. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am in EST timezone. My schedule is somewhat sporadic, so I am on at odd hours. I am usually online somewhere between 2PM - 3AM EST. Most often, you can find me online between 9PM - 2AM EST. I recommend starting any RP by midnight, since I am often winding down and getting ready for bed after that point.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■Along with RP, I am glad to just chat or maybe do some PvE content, or play other games outside of FFXIV. Please don't ever feel you're bothering me if you send me a message. I suck at socializing so I will probably never message you first, but that doesn't mean I dislike talking to you.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like long-term relationships and story-heavy plots. I suck at making my own plots, but I am always happy to be a part of someone else's story!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you do not like Vincent, or if she doesn't mesh well with your character, yet you would still like to role-play with me, I do have other characters who are vastly different.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like to bend lore for the sake of story if called for, but not break it. If someone not conforming to the lore to a T sets you off, you may want to skip on anything more than brief, casual interactions with my characters. If your character is a Miqo'te Dragoon female Nunh WoL Voidsent, likewise, you may want to find someone more up to your speed instead of me! I prefer a healthy middle-ground. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I typically try to avoid combat RP. If somehow it happens despite this, I am often flexible between freeform, rolling, etc. and prefer to do whatever feels best in each individual situation.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am okay with (loosely) planning RP if you have an idea you want to bring up. I do not like RP that is highly scripted, or gives my character a narrow choice of options to react for no discernible IC reason. I am also okay with walk-ups. If you see me anywhere, even if you've never spoken to me before, feel free to post at me! If I am not IC, I will let you know. If I don't respond, it just means I'm afk--sorry! I afk a lot.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you ever have any questions or need clarification about anything whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask. I am a very open person and in the odd case anything does make me uncomfortable, I will simply tell you that. Even if it's mid-RP, I am not one of those "muh 'mmersion!!" people, so I promise I won't be bothered!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell letting me know immediately. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion or avoiding "metagaming." I do care about your feelings, comfort, and enjoyment of the RP! I am fine dialing things back, or dropping a role-play with no hard feelings if we are just not compatible.</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Friends and acquaintances?''' Friends, acquaintances, allies, and business contacts are always welcome. These will need to happen naturally rather than our characters being forced into a friendship that might not suit them. Vincent is easygoing and can get along with most characters, but tends to get along best with characters who are neither very arrogant nor very helpless. Vincent is always glad to make business contacts, typically anyone who can help feed her hobby of tinkering (supplying information or parts) or those who want to patronize her services as a mechanic and engineer. Vincent rarely leaves Thanalan, so contacts that are often in Thanalan are preferred, but I can have her travel if need be.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Enemies and rivals?''' Enemies are always welcome, pending certain conditions. Vincent tries to avoid trouble with most people, but she will step up if someone is being harassed or someone is acting like a genuine asshole, and she will not take being harassed lying down, which can lead to conflicts. I am not interested in RPing with anyone who will harass my character to the point of me having to avoid public RP in the name of "antagonist" RP. I also do not want to RP with anyone who will be sour or demand to retcon if harassing Vincent lands their character in trouble they didn't expect. PLEASE, PLEASE do not ask to take an antagonist role if you are not okay with this and what it might mean for your character (I will try to avoid situations where your character might be killed or permanently imprisoned and give your character an out if possible, and I ask you do the same for me, but disbelief can only be suspended so much before the RP stops being fun).</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Family?''' I don't have much pre-established for Vincent's family, so the roles of her family, close or distant, are open. Parents and siblings (half-blooded or full-blooded) are available for play as are less close relatives such as cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Her father's name is C'sapa Nunh. Any relatives would be need to be Seekers originally from the Couerl tribe, preferably her sect in the Sagoli. A slight physical resemblance to Vincent would be nice, but less important the more distant the relation. Any family members will need to be discussed to work out the details and receive my permission.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Lovers?''' Vincent is in a long-term, committed relationship, and will not cheat or leave her lover for anyone. That said, her relationship may not be entirely monogamous, but this only applies to female characters (and any interest would likely be more sexual than romantic), as her spouse is a heterosexual man and would likely not want to be left out. Any sexual scenes will be faded-to-black. If you want your character to have romantic/sexual feelings for Vincent for any reason, that's fine, please just respect me and the player of Vincent's spouse OOC, and do not expect your character's feelings to ever be returned or fulfilled.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Past connections?''' I am open to past connections with some discussion to work out the details and my permission given, if you would like to have some pre-established foundation for our characters to build upon rather than starting fresh. Some likely connections would be other members from the Coeurl tribe (particularly her sect), others who lived in the Sagoli that she might have bumped into in her time with her tribe, those who frequented Ul'dah after her exile from her tribe (particularly other street dwellers, or Quicksand lurkers she might have shared a drink or a night with), anyone who might her hired in Ul'dah as a prostitute or goon during her time spent homeless, or anyone who she might have pickpocketed from, been confronted by (law enforcement i.e. Brass Blades), or been hired to rough up during that time. I am open to any suggestions not mentioned here.</font></div><br />

A rags-to-riches Ul'dahn street rat that worked his way up the criminal ladder. His initial work and experience came in the form of petty crime and small gangs, whatever it took to eek out a living. Eventually, his actions became known by a much larger syndicate, and soon he was drafted in its ranks.</font><div align=center;><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Vincent--or Vinnie, as most people call him--stands at about 5'8" and has a fairly slender frame. He's not particularly strong. While he keeps himself in shape and maintains a toned body, he relies mostly on various gadgets, weapons, intelligence, speed and agility to help him during an altercation. His skin is mostly pale with a slight tan. He has a scar along the right side of his cheek, though it is typically covered up by his long crimson hair. The left side of his face is generally kept open, openly showing a tribal tattoo given to him when he joined one of the Ul'dahn street gangs. Vincent's eyes are turqoise, rounded and upturned toward the edges while his brows are thin and dark. <br />
<br />
Vinnie can almost always be found wearing a suit, typically dark blue or black and a pair of dark shades to match. He prioritizes his personal appearance over almost everything else, knowing that one must look respectable in order to be respected. He commands himself with a sense of professionalism when on the job, and dressing in anything less would ruin that.<br />
<br />
'''Speech:''' Vincent tries his best to articulate his speech, but it isn't long until his street lifestyle catches up to him. He typically carries a casual tone to his voice, though work seems to denote something more demanding out of him. <br />

<div align=left padding-bottom=20><font style="color: #000; font-size:13px; letter-spacing: 0em;"><br />
<br />
Vincent is laid back, and therefore doesn't seek to harm people he doesn't have to. He is mostly friendly, knowing all too well that knowledge is power and, in his line of work, one must network as much as they can. He doesn't have much in the way of a temper, but when provoked, rather than invoking some sort of explosive anger, Vinnie falls into a calm rage. Any pretense of that kind, happy-go-lucky attitude is lost and he falls strictly to business, or in some cases, work. <br />
<br />
He doesn't have much in the way of morals. Rather, he knows how one should act and does so just enough to get by, but he isn't one to lecture other people on their use of drugs or alcohol. He's quite fond of the latter, himself, and has only been known to make use of the former during a particularly wild party or after inviting a few women back to his room. Speaking of pleasures, Vincent is open to just about anything, though he is not interested in men. He has a "try anything once" type of attitude, and thinks that one must live the one life they've been given to the fullest and experience all that it has to offer.<br />
<br />
Work has him do many questionable things, from ransom to murder to extortion and everything in between. However, Vincent does have a strict code he follows. He will not be involved in slavery, and has no desire for sexual assault. One of the few times he'd come to another's aid is during such cases, believing that all people have the right to be as free as they can or choose to be.<br />
<br />
:'''Motivations:''' Grow his personal wealth, but have fun while doing so.<br />

<br />
Vincent's early life is that of any Ul'dahn orphan: harsh. He lived in the orphanage until he was no longer capable of staying, partially due to it being too full and moreso because he kept causing problems. What he didn't have, he wanted. What he couldn't get, he forcibly took. Vincent was never one to harm others unless he absolutely had to. This led him to stealing from vendors and the more fortunate rather than outright seeking to brawl or kill. But things weren't always successful, and he often returned with bruises and injuries from when he was caught, either by the target or another gang's territory. <br />
<br />
The matron of the orphanage had little in the way of choice when it came to Vincent. Barely twelve years of age, he'd already caused them their fair share of trouble. He was cast out on the streets, forced to fend for himself. Eventually he caught up with the gangs that he'd already made a name for himself in and joined their ranks. There was no order or structure present; just a group of kids and semi-likeminded individuals trying to eek out a living in the harsh Ul'dahn streets. As they grew together, so did the bonds between them, and eventually they became more family than friends.<br />
<br />
This family soon grew into a semi-legitimate organization, or at least as legitimate as a group of ruffians could be. There was some order to it, but only the bare minimum. Those that had been there the longest would act as the leader's lieutenants, and Vincent managed to earn himself a spot there. Each lieutenant was in charge of various interests for the gang, from drugs to prostitution and everything in between.<br />
<br />
Their endeavors soon caught the attention of rival gangs, and it wasn't long before wars began to erupt between the various groups. No one gang was better than the other, and the result was little more than chaos in the streets. Neither faction was willing to give up what territory they had gained, but none of them was willing to settle for what they'd had. It simply became the way of the city, and already dangerous streets became that much more so, especially where territories met.<br />
<br />
And then, one by one, all of the gangs began to fall in line. The bloodshed ceased and soon it came to be that the violence settled. Vincent's gang assumed that they'd managed to somehow come out on top. With at least a tenuous peace, Vincent was looking forward to relaxing as he did before, no longer having to look over his shoulder. At least, not as much as before. Yet, his boss wanted more. He saw the peace as an opportunity for rapid expansion, catching the other gangs off guard and taking their territory one by one. Vincent pleaded to let them be and just enjoy what they had, but it wasn't enough.<br />
<br />
It didn't take long for their actions to reach the ears of others. Suits, as they were known, were ghost stories that gang members shared amongst themselves in hopes of spooking one another on the way home. Whenever someone suddenly vanished, it was the Suits. When no gang was willing to claim a hit, the Suits were to blame. Most had already considered them little more than a product of the times they lived in, and yet, standing before Vinnie and the other Lieutenants were six of them. Their offer was simple; enjoy what was already freely given, and live.<br />
<br />
Vincent's boss had little to hear of it. He refused to believe that anything had been "given" to them, as he was the one giving the orders. There were no Suits present when they took over rival gangs, and there were certainly none about when they formed themselves. He ordered the rest of his gang to continue as they had with little care of the consequences, believing the six men and women that came to them to be little more than a joke from the other gangs. At barely twenty years of age, Vincent knew trouble when he saw it. Yet, this was his family. It was the only life he knew, and he'd do whatever it took to preserve that. Against his better judgement, Vincent agreed to help lead strikes into rival territory. One by one, the other gangs began to fall, and little by little their own expanded. <br />
<br />
And then, just like that, it was all over. They'd gone over the plans countless times. They could recite the street and adjacent territories like they'd studied them their whole lives. Hells, they practically had. They knew every detail, down to each sign post, trash bin, and shop. Yet, nothing could prepare them for what awaited. What was meant to be a quick takeover of an enemy base--an abandoned storage house deep within the city--became a massacre. There were several factions waiting on them, all with weapons well beyond their means. The battle--if you could even call it that--was over in moments, and Vincent was never seen again.<br />
<br />
Some say they saw him shot. Others claimed he was caught in an explosion. Yet still some were convinced that he'd been carried out by rival gang members. By all accounts he was presumed dead, and a part of that was true. Vincent Laurentius, the cocky, street-smart thug was forever changed that night. The Suits had taken him, offering a life of luxury should he only follow their code. In exchange for riches beyond his dreams and a life well beyond any means he'd previously had--or have, he need only give them his life. Vincent accepted with open arms. After all, the alternative was surely death.<br />

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">A woman that Vincent happened to run into during a long night at work. It had been a slow evening, and seeing the gorgeous woman dressed up gave him a bit of hope that the evening wouldn't end on a stale note. Thankfully, he was correct! She accepted his advances and went up to his room with him, where he caught her pickpocketing his jacket. Rather than call the authorities (because that wouldn't have helped things), Vincent offered her a deal. If she agreed to help him out and tend to his "needs," he would make sure that she wanted for nothing. He pulled some strings with the Turks to land her a job, ensuring she remained conveniently close at all times. What was initially a partnership of convenience soon became love, and Vincent makes more than certain to keep his original promise.</div><br />

Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment. Most walk-up encounters.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Ask about''' long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. Fake/temporary character "deaths." Anything likely to deal permanent and severe psychological trauma to my character. Pre-established relationships. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''I won't play''' permanent character death. Erotic role-play. Fetish fulfillment. Lolicon/shotacon. Any sexual themes involving children, objectively child-like characters, or animals. Any sexual themes with players who are minors OOC. Excessively detailed and overly descriptive gore. Long, drawn out, descriptive torture scenes. Sexual/romantic relationships or requited feelings when my character is already in a serious relationship.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Please do not''' metagame, autohit, godmod, powerplay, role-play to win, or be a bad sport. Take OOC hiccups IC (typos, accidental button pressing, afking, etc.), bring IC into OOC, bring OOC into IC. Lecture me on lore, disrespect my OOC boundaries, disrespect my RP partners, be inconsiderate of my time (hour long waits for posts, demanding I spend more time with you, guilt-trip me for RPing with others, etc.). Write so much purple prose I cannot understand/find the actual action of your post. Fail to respect if I tell you I'm uncomfortable with something, attempt OOC to force our characters into a certain relationship, do underhanded OOC things to try to sabotage my character's relationship with another character (or mine with their player), say racist/sexist/homophobic/otherwise offensive things to me OOC, or lie to me or otherwise cause drama OOC. These are dealbreakers, and I may drop all contact with you without further warning if any of these things happen (I am understanding of accidental/innocent mistakes like the occasional autohit or bit of subconscious metagaming). I know this probably sounds super paranoid, but I only mention each of these things because they are things that have happened before--often more than once!</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am on the Balmung server.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am over 18.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I do freestyle posting, most often para-RP with a paragraph or two. I will typically try to post-to-match, but if you do nothing but one-liners or nothing but huge multi-para posts, I may settle on something more moderate. I do not mind your post style, so long as your posts have interesting content I can respond to and I do not have to struggle through long descriptions that are useless to me or make no sense. I do like posts that are lacking in empty, flowery verbage yet still contain some description and artistry, so I would ideally like to find other para-RPers, but I am not picky!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am primarily looking for in game role-play, or at least RP with characters also from Balmung, but I am open to role-play via RPC PM's or threads, Enjin PM's or threads, Skype messages, or Discord messages or channels. Please send me a PM on the RPC or a /tell in game to ask for my handles. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am in EST timezone. My schedule is somewhat sporadic, so I am on at odd hours. I am usually online somewhere between 2PM - 3AM EST. Most often, you can find me online between 9PM - 2AM EST. I recommend starting any RP by midnight, since I am often winding down and getting ready for bed after that point.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■Along with RP, I am glad to just chat or maybe do some PvE content, or play other games outside of FFXIV. Please don't ever feel you're bothering me if you send me a message. I suck at socializing so I will probably never message you first, but that doesn't mean I dislike talking to you.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like long-term relationships and story-heavy plots. I suck at making my own plots, but I am always happy to be a part of someone else's story!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you do not like Vincent, or if she doesn't mesh well with your character, yet you would still like to role-play with me, I do have other characters who are vastly different.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like to bend lore for the sake of story if called for, but not break it. If someone not conforming to the lore to a T sets you off, you may want to skip on anything more than brief, casual interactions with my characters. If your character is a Miqo'te Dragoon female Nunh WoL Voidsent, likewise, you may want to find someone more up to your speed instead of me! I prefer a healthy middle-ground. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I typically try to avoid combat RP. If somehow it happens despite this, I am often flexible between freeform, rolling, etc. and prefer to do whatever feels best in each individual situation.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am okay with (loosely) planning RP if you have an idea you want to bring up. I do not like RP that is highly scripted, or gives my character a narrow choice of options to react for no discernible IC reason. I am also okay with walk-ups. If you see me anywhere, even if you've never spoken to me before, feel free to post at me! If I am not IC, I will let you know. If I don't respond, it just means I'm afk--sorry! I afk a lot.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you ever have any questions or need clarification about anything whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask. I am a very open person and in the odd case anything does make me uncomfortable, I will simply tell you that. Even if it's mid-RP, I am not one of those "muh 'mmersion!!" people, so I promise I won't be bothered!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell letting me know immediately. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion or avoiding "metagaming." I do care about your feelings, comfort, and enjoyment of the RP! I am fine dialing things back, or dropping a role-play with no hard feelings if we are just not compatible.</font></div><br />

<div style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 5px 0px; background: #0b154f; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF; font-family:tahoma; text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px black; letter-spacing:0.25em;border-radius:15px;"><center>'''RP Hooks'''</center></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Friends and acquaintances?''' Friends, acquaintances, allies, and business contacts are always welcome. These will need to happen naturally rather than our characters being forced into a friendship that might not suit them. Vincent is easygoing and can get along with most characters, but tends to get along best with characters who are neither very arrogant nor very helpless. Vincent is always glad to make business contacts, typically anyone who can help feed her hobby of tinkering (supplying information or parts) or those who want to patronize her services as a mechanic and engineer. Vincent rarely leaves Thanalan, so contacts that are often in Thanalan are preferred, but I can have her travel if need be.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Enemies and rivals?''' Enemies are always welcome, pending certain conditions. Vincent tries to avoid trouble with most people, but she will step up if someone is being harassed or someone is acting like a genuine asshole, and she will not take being harassed lying down, which can lead to conflicts. I am not interested in RPing with anyone who will harass my character to the point of me having to avoid public RP in the name of "antagonist" RP. I also do not want to RP with anyone who will be sour or demand to retcon if harassing Vincent lands their character in trouble they didn't expect. PLEASE, PLEASE do not ask to take an antagonist role if you are not okay with this and what it might mean for your character (I will try to avoid situations where your character might be killed or permanently imprisoned and give your character an out if possible, and I ask you do the same for me, but disbelief can only be suspended so much before the RP stops being fun).</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Family?''' I don't have much pre-established for Vincent's family, so the roles of her family, close or distant, are open. Parents and siblings (half-blooded or full-blooded) are available for play as are less close relatives such as cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Her father's name is C'sapa Nunh. Any relatives would be need to be Seekers originally from the Couerl tribe, preferably her sect in the Sagoli. A slight physical resemblance to Vincent would be nice, but less important the more distant the relation. Any family members will need to be discussed to work out the details and receive my permission.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Lovers?''' Vincent is in a long-term, committed relationship, and will not cheat or leave her lover for anyone. That said, her relationship may not be entirely monogamous, but this only applies to female characters (and any interest would likely be more sexual than romantic), as her spouse is a heterosexual man and would likely not want to be left out. Any sexual scenes will be faded-to-black. If you want your character to have romantic/sexual feelings for Vincent for any reason, that's fine, please just respect me and the player of Vincent's spouse OOC, and do not expect your character's feelings to ever be returned or fulfilled.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Past connections?''' I am open to past connections with some discussion to work out the details and my permission given, if you would like to have some pre-established foundation for our characters to build upon rather than starting fresh. Some likely connections would be other members from the Coeurl tribe (particularly her sect), others who lived in the Sagoli that she might have bumped into in her time with her tribe, those who frequented Ul'dah after her exile from her tribe (particularly other street dwellers, or Quicksand lurkers she might have shared a drink or a night with), anyone who might her hired in Ul'dah as a prostitute or goon during her time spent homeless, or anyone who she might have pickpocketed from, been confronted by (law enforcement i.e. Brass Blades), or been hired to rough up during that time. I am open to any suggestions not mentioned here.</font></div><br />

A rags-to-riches Ul'dahn street rat that worked his way up the criminal ladder. His initial work and experience came in the form of petty crime and small gangs, whatever it took to eek out a living.

<!-- TEXT --><br />
<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Vincent--or Vinnie, as most people call him--stands at about 5'8" and has a fairly slender frame. He's not particularly strong. While he keeps himself in shape and maintains a toned body, he relies mostly on various gadgets, weapons, intelligence, speed and agility to help him during an altercation. His skin is mostly pale with a slight tan. He has a scar along the right side of his cheek, though it is typically covered up by his long crimson hair. The left side of his face is generally kept open, openly showing a tribal tattoo given to him when he joined one of the Ul'dahn street gangs. Vincent's eyes are turqoise, rounded and upturned toward the edges while his brows are thin and dark. <br />
<br />
Vinnie can almost always be found wearing a suit, typically dark blue or black and a pair of dark shades to match. He prioritizes his personal appearance over almost everything else, knowing that one must look respectable in order to be respected. He commands himself with a sense of professionalism when on the job, and dressing in anything less would ruin that.<br />
<br />
'''Speech:''' Vincent tries his best to articulate his speech, but it isn't long until his street lifestyle catches up to him. He typically carries a casual tone to his voice, though work seems to denote something more demanding out of him. <br />

<div align=left padding-bottom=20><font style="color: #000; font-size:13px; letter-spacing: 0em;"><br />
<br />
Vincent is laid back, and therefore doesn't seek to harm people he doesn't have to. He is mostly friendly, knowing all too well that knowledge is power and, in his line of work, one must network as much as they can. He doesn't have much in the way of a temper, but when provoked, rather than invoking some sort of explosive anger, Vinnie falls into a calm rage. Any pretense of that kind, happy-go-lucky attitude is lost and he falls strictly to business, or in some cases, work. <br />
<br />
He doesn't have much in the way of morals. Rather, he knows how one should act and does so just enough to get by, but he isn't one to lecture other people on their use of drugs or alcohol. He's quite fond of the latter, himself, and has only been known to make use of the former during a particularly wild party or after inviting a few women back to his room. Speaking of pleasures, Vincent is open to just about anything, though he is not interested in men. He has a "try anything once" type of attitude, and thinks that one must live the one life they've been given to the fullest and experience all that it has to offer.<br />
<br />
Work has him do many questionable things, from ransom to murder to extortion and everything in between. However, Vincent does have a strict code he follows. He will not be involved in slavery, and has no desire for sexual assault. One of the few times he'd come to another's aid is during such cases, believing that all people have the right to be as free as they can or choose to be.<br />
<br />
:'''Motivations:''' Grow his personal wealth, but have fun while doing so.<br />

<br />
Vincent's early life is that of any Ul'dahn orphan: harsh. He lived in the orphanage until he was no longer capable of staying, partially due to it being too full and moreso because he kept causing problems. What he didn't have, he wanted. What he couldn't get, he forcibly took. Vincent was never one to harm others unless he absolutely had to. This led him to stealing from vendors and the more fortunate rather than outright seeking to brawl or kill. But things weren't always successful, and he often returned with bruises and injuries from when he was caught, either by the target or another gang's territory. <br />
<br />
The matron of the orphanage had little in the way of choice when it came to Vincent. Barely twelve years of age, he'd already caused them their fair share of trouble. He was cast out on the streets, forced to fend for himself. Eventually he caught up with the gangs that he'd already made a name for himself in and joined their ranks. There was no order or structure present; just a group of kids and semi-likeminded individuals trying to eek out a living in the harsh Ul'dahn streets. As they grew together, so did the bonds between them, and eventually they became more family than friends.<br />
<br />
This family soon grew into a semi-legitimate organization, or at least as legitimate as a group of ruffians could be. There was some order to it, but only the bare minimum. Those that had been there the longest would act as the leader's lieutenants, and Vincent managed to earn himself a spot there. Each lieutenant was in charge of various interests for the gang, from drugs to prostitution and everything in between.<br />
<br />
Their endeavors soon caught the attention of rival gangs, and it wasn't long before wars began to erupt between the various groups. No one gang was better than the other, and the result was little more than chaos in the streets. Neither faction was willing to give up what territory they had gained, but none of them was willing to settle for what they'd had. It simply became the way of the city, and already dangerous streets became that much more so, especially where territories met.<br />
<br />
And then, one by one, all of the gangs began to fall in line. The bloodshed ceased and soon it came to be that the violence settled. Vincent's gang assumed that they'd managed to somehow come out on top. With at least a tenuous peace, Vincent was looking forward to relaxing as he did before, no longer having to look over his shoulder. At least, not as much as before. Yet, his boss wanted more. He saw the peace as an opportunity for rapid expansion, catching the other gangs off guard and taking their territory one by one. Vincent pleaded to let them be and just enjoy what they had, but it wasn't enough.<br />
<br />
It didn't take long for their actions to reach the ears of others. Suits, as they were known, were ghost stories that gang members shared amongst themselves in hopes of spooking one another on the way home. Whenever someone suddenly vanished, it was the Suits. When no gang was willing to claim a hit, the Suits were to blame. Most had already considered them little more than a product of the times they lived in, and yet, standing before Vinnie and the other Lieutenants were six of them. Their offer was simple; enjoy what was already freely given, and live.<br />
<br />
Vincent's boss had little to hear of it. He refused to believe that anything had been "given" to them, as he was the one giving the orders. There were no Suits present when they took over rival gangs, and there were certainly none about when they formed themselves. He ordered the rest of his gang to continue as they had with little care of the consequences, believing the six men and women that came to them to be little more than a joke from the other gangs. At barely twenty years of age, Vincent knew trouble when he saw it. Yet, this was his family. It was the only life he knew, and he'd do whatever it took to preserve that. Against his better judgement, Vincent agreed to help lead strikes into rival territory. One by one, the other gangs began to fall, and little by little their own expanded. <br />
<br />
And then, just like that, it was all over. They'd gone over the plans countless times. They could recite the street and adjacent territories like they'd studied them their whole lives. Hells, they practically had. They knew every detail, down to each sign post, trash bin, and shop. Yet, nothing could prepare them for what awaited. What was meant to be a quick takeover of an enemy base--an abandoned storage house deep within the city--became a massacre. There were several factions waiting on them, all with weapons well beyond their means. The battle--if you could even call it that--was over in moments, and Vincent was never seen again.<br />
<br />
Some say they saw him shot. Others claimed he was caught in an explosion. Yet still some were convinced that he'd been carried out by rival gang members. By all accounts he was presumed dead, and a part of that was true. Vincent Laurentius, the cocky, street-smart thug was forever changed that night. The Suits had taken him, offering a life of luxury should he only follow their code. In exchange for riches beyond his dreams and a life well beyond any means he'd previously had--or have, he need only give them his life. Vincent accepted with open arms. After all, the alternative was surely death.<br />

I will typically try to post-to-match, but if you do nothing but one-liners or nothing but huge multi-para posts, I may settle on something more moderate. I do not mind your post style, so long as your posts have interesting content I can respond to and I do not have to struggle through long descriptions that are useless to me or make no sense. I do like posts that are lacking in empty, flowery verbage yet still contain some description and artistry, so I would ideally like to find other para-RPers, but I am not picky!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am primarily looking for in game role-play, or at least RP with characters also from Balmung, but I am open to role-play via RPC PM's or threads, Enjin PM's or threads, Skype messages, or Discord messages or channels. Please send me a PM on the RPC or a /tell in game to ask for my handles. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am in EST timezone. My schedule is somewhat sporadic, so I am on at odd hours. I am usually online somewhere between 2PM - 3AM EST. Most often, you can find me online between 9PM - 2AM EST. I recommend starting any RP by midnight, since I am often winding down and getting ready for bed after that point.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■Along with RP, I am glad to just chat or maybe do some PvE content, or play other games outside of FFXIV. Please don't ever feel you're bothering me if you send me a message. I suck at socializing so I will probably never message you first, but that doesn't mean I dislike talking to you.</font></div><br />

If someone not conforming to the lore to a T sets you off, you may want to skip on anything more than brief, casual interactions with my characters. If your character is a Miqo'te Dragoon female Nunh WoL Voidsent, likewise, you may want to find someone more up to your speed instead of me! I prefer a healthy middle-ground. </font></div><br />

If you see me anywhere, even if you've never spoken to me before, feel free to post at me! If I am not IC, I will let you know. If I don't respond, it just means I'm afk--sorry!

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you ever have any questions or need clarification about anything whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask. I am a very open person and in the odd case anything does make me uncomfortable, I will simply tell you that. Even if it's mid-RP, I am not one of those "muh 'mmersion!!" people, so I promise I won't be bothered!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell letting me know immediately. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion or avoiding "metagaming." I do care about your feelings, comfort, and enjoyment of the RP! I am fine dialing things back, or dropping a role-play with no hard feelings if we are just not compatible.</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Friends and acquaintances?''' Friends, acquaintances, allies, and business contacts are always welcome. These will need to happen naturally rather than our characters being forced into a friendship that might not suit them. Vincent is easygoing and can get along with most characters, but tends to get along best with characters who are neither very arrogant nor very helpless. Vincent is always glad to make business contacts, typically anyone who can help feed her hobby of tinkering (supplying information or parts) or those who want to patronize her services as a mechanic and engineer. Vincent rarely leaves Thanalan, so contacts that are often in Thanalan are preferred, but I can have her travel if need be.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Enemies and rivals?''' Enemies are always welcome, pending certain conditions. Vincent tries to avoid trouble with most people, but she will step up if someone is being harassed or someone is acting like a genuine asshole, and she will not take being harassed lying down, which can lead to conflicts. I am not interested in RPing with anyone who will harass my character to the point of me having to avoid public RP in the name of "antagonist" RP. I also do not want to RP with anyone who will be sour or demand to retcon if harassing Vincent lands their character in trouble they didn't expect. PLEASE, PLEASE do not ask to take an antagonist role if you are not okay with this and what it might mean for your character (I will try to avoid situations where your character might be killed or permanently imprisoned and give your character an out if possible, and I ask you do the same for me, but disbelief can only be suspended so much before the RP stops being fun).</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Family?''' I don't have much pre-established for Vincent's family, so the roles of her family, close or distant, are open. Parents and siblings (half-blooded or full-blooded) are available for play as are less close relatives such as cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Her father's name is C'sapa Nunh. Any relatives would be need to be Seekers originally from the Couerl tribe, preferably her sect in the Sagoli. A slight physical resemblance to Vincent would be nice, but less important the more distant the relation. Any family members will need to be discussed to work out the details and receive my permission.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Lovers?''' Vincent is in a long-term, committed relationship, and will not cheat or leave her lover for anyone. That said, her relationship may not be entirely monogamous, but this only applies to female characters (and any interest would likely be more sexual than romantic), as her spouse is a heterosexual man and would likely not want to be left out. Any sexual scenes will be faded-to-black. If you want your character to have romantic/sexual feelings for Vincent for any reason, that's fine, please just respect me and the player of Vincent's spouse OOC, and do not expect your character's feelings to ever be returned or fulfilled.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Past connections?''' I am open to past connections with some discussion to work out the details and my permission given, if you would like to have some pre-established foundation for our characters to build upon rather than starting fresh. Some likely connections would be other members from the Coeurl tribe (particularly her sect), others who lived in the Sagoli that she might have bumped into in her time with her tribe, those who frequented Ul'dah after her exile from her tribe (particularly other street dwellers, or Quicksand lurkers she might have shared a drink or a night with), anyone who might her hired in Ul'dah as a prostitute or goon during her time spent homeless, or anyone who she might have pickpocketed from, been confronted by (law enforcement i.e. Brass Blades), or been hired to rough up during that time. I am open to any suggestions not mentioned here.</font></div><br />

A rags-to-riches Ul'dahn street rat that worked his way up the criminal ladder. His initial work and experience came in the form of petty crime and small gangs, whatever it took to eek out a living. Eventually, his actions became known by a much larger syndicate, and soon he was drafted in its ranks.</font><div align=center;><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Vincent--or Vinnie, as most people call him--stands at about 5'8" and has a fairly slender frame. He's not particularly strong. While he keeps himself in shape and maintains a toned body, he relies mostly on various gadgets, weapons, intelligence, speed and agility to help him during an altercation. His skin is mostly pale with a slight tan. He has a scar along the right side of his cheek, though it is typically covered up by his long crimson hair. The left side of his face is generally kept open, openly showing a tribal tattoo given to him when he joined one of the Ul'dahn street gangs. Vincent's eyes are turqoise, rounded and upturned toward the edges while his brows are thin and dark. <br />
<br />
Vinnie can almost always be found wearing a suit, typically dark blue or black and a pair of dark shades to match. He prioritizes his personal appearance over almost everything else, knowing that one must look respectable in order to be respected. He commands himself with a sense of professionalism when on the job, and dressing in anything less would ruin that.<br />
<br />
'''Speech:''' Vincent tries his best to articulate his speech, but it isn't long until his street lifestyle catches up to him. He typically carries a casual tone to his voice, though work seems to denote something more demanding out of him. <br />

<div align=left padding-bottom=20><font style="color: #000; font-size:13px; letter-spacing: 0em;"><br />
<br />
Vincent is laid back, and therefore doesn't seek to harm people he doesn't have to. He is mostly friendly, knowing all too well that knowledge is power and, in his line of work, one must network as much as they can. He doesn't have much in the way of a temper, but when provoked, rather than invoking some sort of explosive anger, Vinnie falls into a calm rage. Any pretense of that kind, happy-go-lucky attitude is lost and he falls strictly to business, or in some cases, work. <br />
<br />
He doesn't have much in the way of morals. Rather, he knows how one should act and does so just enough to get by, but he isn't one to lecture other people on their use of drugs or alcohol. He's quite fond of the latter, himself, and has only been known to make use of the former during a particularly wild party or after inviting a few women back to his room. Speaking of pleasures, Vincent is open to just about anything, though he is not interested in men. He has a "try anything once" type of attitude, and thinks that one must live the one life they've been given to the fullest and experience all that it has to offer.<br />
<br />
Work has him do many questionable things, from ransom to murder to extortion and everything in between. However, Vincent does have a strict code he follows. He will not be involved in slavery, and has no desire for sexual assault. One of the few times he'd come to another's aid is during such cases, believing that all people have the right to be as free as they can or choose to be.<br />
<br />
:'''Motivations:''' Grow his personal wealth, but have fun while doing so.<br />

<br />
Vincent's early life is that of any Ul'dahn orphan: harsh. He lived in the orphanage until he was no longer capable of staying, partially due to it being too full and moreso because he kept causing problems. What he didn't have, he wanted. What he couldn't get, he forcibly took. Vincent was never one to harm others unless he absolutely had to. This led him to stealing from vendors and the more fortunate rather than outright seeking to brawl or kill. But things weren't always successful, and he often returned with bruises and injuries from when he was caught, either by the target or another gang's territory. <br />
<br />
The matron of the orphanage had little in the way of choice when it came to Vincent. Barely twelve years of age, he'd already caused them their fair share of trouble. He was cast out on the streets, forced to fend for himself. Eventually he caught up with the gangs that he'd already made a name for himself in and joined their ranks. There was no order or structure present; just a group of kids and semi-likeminded individuals trying to eek out a living in the harsh Ul'dahn streets. As they grew together, so did the bonds between them, and eventually they became more family than friends.<br />
<br />
This family soon grew into a semi-legitimate organization, or at least as legitimate as a group of ruffians could be. There was some order to it, but only the bare minimum. Those that had been there the longest would act as the leader's lieutenants, and Vincent managed to earn himself a spot there. Each lieutenant was in charge of various interests for the gang, from drugs to prostitution and everything in between.<br />
<br />
Their endeavors soon caught the attention of rival gangs, and it wasn't long before wars began to erupt between the various groups. No one gang was better than the other, and the result was little more than chaos in the streets. Neither faction was willing to give up what territory they had gained, but none of them was willing to settle for what they'd had. It simply became the way of the city, and already dangerous streets became that much more so, especially where territories met.<br />
<br />
And then, one by one, all of the gangs began to fall in line. The bloodshed ceased and soon it came to be that the violence settled. Vincent's gang assumed that they'd managed to somehow come out on top. With at least a tenuous peace, Vincent was looking forward to relaxing as he did before, no longer having to look over his shoulder. At least, not as much as before. Yet, his boss wanted more. He saw the peace as an opportunity for rapid expansion, catching the other gangs off guard and taking their territory one by one. Vincent pleaded to let them be and just enjoy what they had, but it wasn't enough.<br />
<br />
It didn't take long for their actions to reach the ears of others. Suits, as they were known, were ghost stories that gang members shared amongst themselves in hopes of spooking one another on the way home. Whenever someone suddenly vanished, it was the Suits. When no gang was willing to claim a hit, the Suits were to blame. Most had already considered them little more than a product of the times they lived in, and yet, standing before Vinnie and the other Lieutenants were six of them. Their offer was simple; enjoy what was already freely given, and live.<br />
<br />
Vincent's boss had little to hear of it. He refused to believe that anything had been "given" to them, as he was the one giving the orders. There were no Suits present when they took over rival gangs, and there were certainly none about when they formed themselves. He ordered the rest of his gang to continue as they had with little care of the consequences, believing the six men and women that came to them to be little more than a joke from the other gangs. At barely twenty years of age, Vincent knew trouble when he saw it. Yet, this was his family. It was the only life he knew, and he'd do whatever it took to preserve that. Against his better judgement, Vincent agreed to help lead strikes into rival territory. One by one, the other gangs began to fall, and little by little their own expanded. <br />
<br />
And then, just like that, it was all over. They'd gone over the plans countless times. They could recite the street and adjacent territories like they'd studied them their whole lives. Hells, they practically had. They knew every detail, down to each sign post, trash bin, and shop. Yet, nothing could prepare them for what awaited. What was meant to be a quick takeover of an enemy base--an abandoned storage house deep within the city--became a massacre. There were several factions waiting on them, all with weapons well beyond their means. The battle--if you could even call it that--was over in moments, and Vincent was never seen again.<br />
<br />
Some say they saw him shot. Others claimed he was caught in an explosion. Yet still some were convinced that he'd been carried out by rival gang members. By all accounts he was presumed dead, and a part of that was true. Vincent Laurentius, the cocky, street-smart thug was forever changed that night. The Suits had taken him, offering a life of luxury should he only follow their code. In exchange for riches beyond his dreams and a life well beyond any means he'd previously had--or have, he need only give them his life. Vincent accepted with open arms. After all, the alternative was surely death.<br />

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">A woman that Vincent happened to run into during a long night at work. It had been a slow evening, and seeing the gorgeous woman dressed up gave him a bit of hope that the evening wouldn't end on a stale note. Thankfully, he was correct! She accepted his advances and went up to his room with him, where he caught her pickpocketing his jacket. Rather than call the authorities (because that wouldn't have helped things), Vincent offered her a deal. If she agreed to help him out and tend to his "needs," he would make sure that she wanted for nothing. He pulled some strings with the Turks to land her a job, ensuring she remained conveniently close at all times. What was initially a partnership of convenience soon became love, and Vincent makes more than certain to keep his original promise.</div><br />

Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment. Most walk-up encounters.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Ask about''' long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. Fake/temporary character "deaths." Anything likely to deal permanent and severe psychological trauma to my character. Pre-established relationships. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''I won't play''' permanent character death. Erotic role-play. Fetish fulfillment. Lolicon/shotacon. Any sexual themes involving children, objectively child-like characters, or animals. Any sexual themes with players who are minors OOC. Excessively detailed and overly descriptive gore. Long, drawn out, descriptive torture scenes. Sexual/romantic relationships or requited feelings when my character is already in a serious relationship.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Please do not''' metagame, autohit, godmod, powerplay, role-play to win, or be a bad sport. Take OOC hiccups IC (typos, accidental button pressing, afking, etc.), bring IC into OOC, bring OOC into IC. Lecture me on lore, disrespect my OOC boundaries, disrespect my RP partners, be inconsiderate of my time (hour long waits for posts, demanding I spend more time with you, guilt-trip me for RPing with others, etc.). Write so much purple prose I cannot understand/find the actual action of your post. Fail to respect if I tell you I'm uncomfortable with something, attempt OOC to force our characters into a certain relationship, do underhanded OOC things to try to sabotage my character's relationship with another character (or mine with their player), say racist/sexist/homophobic/otherwise offensive things to me OOC, or lie to me or otherwise cause drama OOC. These are dealbreakers, and I may drop all contact with you without further warning if any of these things happen (I am understanding of accidental/innocent mistakes like the occasional autohit or bit of subconscious metagaming). I know this probably sounds super paranoid, but I only mention each of these things because they are things that have happened before--often more than once!</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am on the Balmung server.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am over 18.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I do freestyle posting, most often para-RP with a paragraph or two. I will typically try to post-to-match, but if you do nothing but one-liners or nothing but huge multi-para posts, I may settle on something more moderate. I do not mind your post style, so long as your posts have interesting content I can respond to and I do not have to struggle through long descriptions that are useless to me or make no sense. I do like posts that are lacking in empty, flowery verbage yet still contain some description and artistry, so I would ideally like to find other para-RPers, but I am not picky!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am primarily looking for in game role-play, or at least RP with characters also from Balmung, but I am open to role-play via RPC PM's or threads, Enjin PM's or threads, Skype messages, or Discord messages or channels. Please send me a PM on the RPC or a /tell in game to ask for my handles. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am in EST timezone. My schedule is somewhat sporadic, so I am on at odd hours. I am usually online somewhere between 2PM - 3AM EST. Most often, you can find me online between 9PM - 2AM EST. I recommend starting any RP by midnight, since I am often winding down and getting ready for bed after that point.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■Along with RP, I am glad to just chat or maybe do some PvE content, or play other games outside of FFXIV. Please don't ever feel you're bothering me if you send me a message. I suck at socializing so I will probably never message you first, but that doesn't mean I dislike talking to you.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like long-term relationships and story-heavy plots. I suck at making my own plots, but I am always happy to be a part of someone else's story!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you do not like Vincent, or if she doesn't mesh well with your character, yet you would still like to role-play with me, I do have other characters who are vastly different.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like to bend lore for the sake of story if called for, but not break it. If someone not conforming to the lore to a T sets you off, you may want to skip on anything more than brief, casual interactions with my characters. If your character is a Miqo'te Dragoon female Nunh WoL Voidsent, likewise, you may want to find someone more up to your speed instead of me! I prefer a healthy middle-ground. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I typically try to avoid combat RP. If somehow it happens despite this, I am often flexible between freeform, rolling, etc. and prefer to do whatever feels best in each individual situation.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am okay with (loosely) planning RP if you have an idea you want to bring up. I do not like RP that is highly scripted, or gives my character a narrow choice of options to react for no discernible IC reason. I am also okay with walk-ups. If you see me anywhere, even if you've never spoken to me before, feel free to post at me! If I am not IC, I will let you know. If I don't respond, it just means I'm afk--sorry! I afk a lot.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you ever have any questions or need clarification about anything whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask. I am a very open person and in the odd case anything does make me uncomfortable, I will simply tell you that. Even if it's mid-RP, I am not one of those "muh 'mmersion!!" people, so I promise I won't be bothered!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell letting me know immediately. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion or avoiding "metagaming." I do care about your feelings, comfort, and enjoyment of the RP! I am fine dialing things back, or dropping a role-play with no hard feelings if we are just not compatible.</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Friends and acquaintances?''' Friends, acquaintances, allies, and business contacts are always welcome. These will need to happen naturally rather than our characters being forced into a friendship that might not suit them. Vincent is easygoing and can get along with most characters, but tends to get along best with characters who are neither very arrogant nor very helpless. Vincent is always glad to make business contacts, typically anyone who can help feed her hobby of tinkering (supplying information or parts) or those who want to patronize her services as a mechanic and engineer. Vincent rarely leaves Thanalan, so contacts that are often in Thanalan are preferred, but I can have her travel if need be.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Enemies and rivals?''' Enemies are always welcome, pending certain conditions. Vincent tries to avoid trouble with most people, but she will step up if someone is being harassed or someone is acting like a genuine asshole, and she will not take being harassed lying down, which can lead to conflicts. I am not interested in RPing with anyone who will harass my character to the point of me having to avoid public RP in the name of "antagonist" RP. I also do not want to RP with anyone who will be sour or demand to retcon if harassing Vincent lands their character in trouble they didn't expect. PLEASE, PLEASE do not ask to take an antagonist role if you are not okay with this and what it might mean for your character (I will try to avoid situations where your character might be killed or permanently imprisoned and give your character an out if possible, and I ask you do the same for me, but disbelief can only be suspended so much before the RP stops being fun).</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Family?''' I don't have much pre-established for Vincent's family, so the roles of her family, close or distant, are open. Parents and siblings (half-blooded or full-blooded) are available for play as are less close relatives such as cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Her father's name is C'sapa Nunh. Any relatives would be need to be Seekers originally from the Couerl tribe, preferably her sect in the Sagoli. A slight physical resemblance to Vincent would be nice, but less important the more distant the relation. Any family members will need to be discussed to work out the details and receive my permission.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Lovers?''' Vincent is in a long-term, committed relationship, and will not cheat or leave her lover for anyone. That said, her relationship may not be entirely monogamous, but this only applies to female characters (and any interest would likely be more sexual than romantic), as her spouse is a heterosexual man and would likely not want to be left out. Any sexual scenes will be faded-to-black. If you want your character to have romantic/sexual feelings for Vincent for any reason, that's fine, please just respect me and the player of Vincent's spouse OOC, and do not expect your character's feelings to ever be returned or fulfilled.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Past connections?''' I am open to past connections with some discussion to work out the details and my permission given, if you would like to have some pre-established foundation for our characters to build upon rather than starting fresh. Some likely connections would be other members from the Coeurl tribe (particularly her sect), others who lived in the Sagoli that she might have bumped into in her time with her tribe, those who frequented Ul'dah after her exile from her tribe (particularly other street dwellers, or Quicksand lurkers she might have shared a drink or a night with), anyone who might her hired in Ul'dah as a prostitute or goon during her time spent homeless, or anyone who she might have pickpocketed from, been confronted by (law enforcement i.e. Brass Blades), or been hired to rough up during that time. I am open to any suggestions not mentioned here.</font></div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Vincent--or Vinnie, as most people call him--stands at about 5'8" and has a fairly slender frame. He's not particularly strong. While he keeps himself in shape and maintains a toned body, he relies mostly on various gadgets, weapons, intelligence, speed and agility to help him during an altercation. His skin is mostly pale with a slight tan. He has a scar along the right side of his cheek, though it is typically covered up by his long crimson hair. The left side of his face is generally kept open, openly showing a tribal tattoo given to him when he joined one of the Ul'dahn street gangs. Vincent's eyes are turqoise, rounded and upturned toward the edges while his brows are thin and dark. <br />
<br />
Vinnie can almost always be found wearing a suit, typically dark blue or black and a pair of dark shades to match. He prioritizes his personal appearance over almost everything else, knowing that one must look respectable in order to be respected. He commands himself with a sense of professionalism when on the job, and dressing in anything less would ruin that.<br />
<br />
'''Speech:''' Vincent tries his best to articulate his speech, but it isn't long until his street lifestyle catches up to him. He typically carries a casual tone to his voice, though work seems to denote something more demanding out of him. <br />

<div align=left padding-bottom=20><font style="color: #000; font-size:13px; letter-spacing: 0em;"><br />
<br />
Vincent is laid back, and therefore doesn't seek to harm people he doesn't have to. He is mostly friendly, knowing all too well that knowledge is power and, in his line of work, one must network as much as they can. He doesn't have much in the way of a temper, but when provoked, rather than invoking some sort of explosive anger, Vinnie falls into a calm rage. Any pretense of that kind, happy-go-lucky attitude is lost and he falls strictly to business, or in some cases, work. <br />
<br />
He doesn't have much in the way of morals. Rather, he knows how one should act and does so just enough to get by, but he isn't one to lecture other people on their use of drugs or alcohol. He's quite fond of the latter, himself, and has only been known to make use of the former during a particularly wild party or after inviting a few women back to his room. Speaking of pleasures, Vincent is open to just about anything, though he is not interested in men. He has a "try anything once" type of attitude, and thinks that one must live the one life they've been given to the fullest and experience all that it has to offer.<br />
<br />
Work has him do many questionable things, from ransom to murder to extortion and everything in between. However, Vincent does have a strict code he follows. He will not be involved in slavery, and has no desire for sexual assault. One of the few times he'd come to another's aid is during such cases, believing that all people have the right to be as free as they can or choose to be.<br />
<br />
:'''Motivations:''' Grow his personal wealth, but have fun while doing so.<br />

<br />
Vincent's early life is that of any Ul'dahn orphan: harsh. He lived in the orphanage until he was no longer capable of staying, partially due to it being too full and moreso because he kept causing problems. What he didn't have, he wanted. What he couldn't get, he forcibly took. Vincent was never one to harm others unless he absolutely had to. This led him to stealing from vendors and the more fortunate rather than outright seeking to brawl or kill. But things weren't always successful, and he often returned with bruises and injuries from when he was caught, either by the target or another gang's territory. <br />
<br />
The matron of the orphanage had little in the way of choice when it came to Vincent. Barely twelve years of age, he'd already caused them their fair share of trouble. He was cast out on the streets, forced to fend for himself. Eventually he caught up with the gangs that he'd already made a name for himself in and joined their ranks. There was no order or structure present; just a group of kids and semi-likeminded individuals trying to eek out a living in the harsh Ul'dahn streets. As they grew together, so did the bonds between them, and eventually they became more family than friends.<br />
<br />
This family soon grew into a semi-legitimate organization, or at least as legitimate as a group of ruffians could be. There was some order to it, but only the bare minimum. Those that had been there the longest would act as the leader's lieutenants, and Vincent managed to earn himself a spot there. Each lieutenant was in charge of various interests for the gang, from drugs to prostitution and everything in between.<br />
<br />
Their endeavors soon caught the attention of rival gangs, and it wasn't long before wars began to erupt between the various groups. No one gang was better than the other, and the result was little more than chaos in the streets. Neither faction was willing to give up what territory they had gained, but none of them was willing to settle for what they'd had. It simply became the way of the city, and already dangerous streets became that much more so, especially where territories met.<br />
<br />
And then, one by one, all of the gangs began to fall in line. The bloodshed ceased and soon it came to be that the violence settled. Vincent's gang assumed that they'd managed to somehow come out on top. With at least a tenuous peace, Vincent was looking forward to relaxing as he did before, no longer having to look over his shoulder. At least, not as much as before. Yet, his boss wanted more. He saw the peace as an opportunity for rapid expansion, catching the other gangs off guard and taking their territory one by one. Vincent pleaded to let them be and just enjoy what they had, but it wasn't enough.<br />
<br />
It didn't take long for their actions to reach the ears of others. Suits, as they were known, were ghost stories that gang members shared amongst themselves in hopes of spooking one another on the way home. Whenever someone suddenly vanished, it was the Suits. When no gang was willing to claim a hit, the Suits were to blame. Most had already considered them little more than a product of the times they lived in, and yet, standing before Vinnie and the other Lieutenants were six of them. Their offer was simple; enjoy what was already freely given, and live.<br />
<br />
Vincent's boss had little to hear of it. He refused to believe that anything had been "given" to them, as he was the one giving the orders. There were no Suits present when they took over rival gangs, and there were certainly none about when they formed themselves. He ordered the rest of his gang to continue as they had with little care of the consequences, believing the six men and women that came to them to be little more than a joke from the other gangs. At barely twenty years of age, Vincent knew trouble when he saw it. Yet, this was his family. It was the only life he knew, and he'd do whatever it took to preserve that. Against his better judgement, Vincent agreed to help lead strikes into rival territory. One by one, the other gangs began to fall, and little by little their own expanded. <br />
<br />
And then, just like that, it was all over. They'd gone over the plans countless times. They could recite the street and adjacent territories like they'd studied them their whole lives. Hells, they practically had. They knew every detail, down to each sign post, trash bin, and shop. Yet, nothing could prepare them for what awaited. What was meant to be a quick takeover of an enemy base--an abandoned storage house deep within the city--became a massacre. There were several factions waiting on them, all with weapons well beyond their means. The battle--if you could even call it that--was over in moments, and Vincent was never seen again.<br />
<br />
Some say they saw him shot. Others claimed he was caught in an explosion. Yet still some were convinced that he'd been carried out by rival gang members. By all accounts he was presumed dead, and a part of that was true. Vincent Laurentius, the cocky, street-smart thug was forever changed that night. The Suits had taken him, offering a life of luxury should he only follow their code. In exchange for riches beyond his dreams and a life well beyond any means he'd previously had--or have, he need only give them his life. Vincent accepted with open arms. After all, the alternative was surely death.<br />

She accepted his advances and went up to his room with him, where he caught her pickpocketing his jacket. Rather than call the authorities (because that wouldn't have helped things), Vincent offered her a deal. If she agreed to help him out and tend to his "needs," he would make sure that she wanted for nothing. He pulled some strings with the Turks to land her a job, ensuring she remained conveniently close at all times. What was initially a partnership of convenience soon became love, and Vincent makes more than certain to keep his original promise.</div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Ask about''' long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. Fake/temporary character "deaths." Anything likely to deal permanent and severe psychological trauma to my character. Pre-established relationships. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''I won't play''' permanent character death. Erotic role-play. Fetish fulfillment. Lolicon/shotacon. Any sexual themes involving children, objectively child-like characters, or animals. Any sexual themes with players who are minors OOC. Excessively detailed and overly descriptive gore. Long, drawn out, descriptive torture scenes. Sexual/romantic relationships or requited feelings when my character is already in a serious relationship.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Please do not''' metagame, autohit, godmod, powerplay, role-play to win, or be a bad sport. Take OOC hiccups IC (typos, accidental button pressing, afking, etc.), bring IC into OOC, bring OOC into IC. Lecture me on lore, disrespect my OOC boundaries, disrespect my RP partners, be inconsiderate of my time (hour long waits for posts, demanding I spend more time with you, guilt-trip me for RPing with others, etc.). Write so much purple prose I cannot understand/find the actual action of your post. Fail to respect if I tell you I'm uncomfortable with something, attempt OOC to force our characters into a certain relationship, do underhanded OOC things to try to sabotage my character's relationship with another character (or mine with their player), say racist/sexist/homophobic/otherwise offensive things to me OOC, or lie to me or otherwise cause drama OOC. These are dealbreakers, and I may drop all contact with you without further warning if any of these things happen (I am understanding of accidental/innocent mistakes like the occasional autohit or bit of subconscious metagaming). I know this probably sounds super paranoid, but I only mention each of these things because they are things that have happened before--often more than once!</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am on the Balmung server.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am over 18.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I do freestyle posting, most often para-RP with a paragraph or two. I will typically try to post-to-match, but if you do nothing but one-liners or nothing but huge multi-para posts, I may settle on something more moderate. I do not mind your post style, so long as your posts have interesting content I can respond to and I do not have to struggle through long descriptions that are useless to me or make no sense. I do like posts that are lacking in empty, flowery verbage yet still contain some description and artistry, so I would ideally like to find other para-RPers, but I am not picky!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am primarily looking for in game role-play, or at least RP with characters also from Balmung, but I am open to role-play via RPC PM's or threads, Enjin PM's or threads, Skype messages, or Discord messages or channels. Please send me a PM on the RPC or a /tell in game to ask for my handles. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am in EST timezone. My schedule is somewhat sporadic, so I am on at odd hours. I am usually online somewhere between 2PM - 3AM EST. Most often, you can find me online between 9PM - 2AM EST. I recommend starting any RP by midnight, since I am often winding down and getting ready for bed after that point.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■Along with RP, I am glad to just chat or maybe do some PvE content, or play other games outside of FFXIV. Please don't ever feel you're bothering me if you send me a message. I suck at socializing so I will probably never message you first, but that doesn't mean I dislike talking to you.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like long-term relationships and story-heavy plots. I suck at making my own plots, but I am always happy to be a part of someone else's story!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you do not like Vincent, or if she doesn't mesh well with your character, yet you would still like to role-play with me, I do have other characters who are vastly different.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like to bend lore for the sake of story if called for, but not break it. If someone not conforming to the lore to a T sets you off, you may want to skip on anything more than brief, casual interactions with my characters. If your character is a Miqo'te Dragoon female Nunh WoL Voidsent, likewise, you may want to find someone more up to your speed instead of me! I prefer a healthy middle-ground. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I typically try to avoid combat RP. If somehow it happens despite this, I am often flexible between freeform, rolling, etc. and prefer to do whatever feels best in each individual situation.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am okay with (loosely) planning RP if you have an idea you want to bring up. I do not like RP that is highly scripted, or gives my character a narrow choice of options to react for no discernible IC reason. I am also okay with walk-ups. If you see me anywhere, even if you've never spoken to me before, feel free to post at me! If I am not IC, I will let you know. If I don't respond, it just means I'm afk--sorry! I afk a lot.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you ever have any questions or need clarification about anything whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask. I am a very open person and in the odd case anything does make me uncomfortable, I will simply tell you that. Even if it's mid-RP, I am not one of those "muh 'mmersion!!" people, so I promise I won't be bothered!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell letting me know immediately. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion or avoiding "metagaming." I do care about your feelings, comfort, and enjoyment of the RP! I am fine dialing things back, or dropping a role-play with no hard feelings if we are just not compatible.</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Friends and acquaintances?''' Friends, acquaintances, allies, and business contacts are always welcome. These will need to happen naturally rather than our characters being forced into a friendship that might not suit them. Vincent is easygoing and can get along with most characters, but tends to get along best with characters who are neither very arrogant nor very helpless. Vincent is always glad to make business contacts, typically anyone who can help feed her hobby of tinkering (supplying information or parts) or those who want to patronize her services as a mechanic and engineer. Vincent rarely leaves Thanalan, so contacts that are often in Thanalan are preferred, but I can have her travel if need be.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Enemies and rivals?''' Enemies are always welcome, pending certain conditions. Vincent tries to avoid trouble with most people, but she will step up if someone is being harassed or someone is acting like a genuine asshole, and she will not take being harassed lying down, which can lead to conflicts. I am not interested in RPing with anyone who will harass my character to the point of me having to avoid public RP in the name of "antagonist" RP. I also do not want to RP with anyone who will be sour or demand to retcon if harassing Vincent lands their character in trouble they didn't expect. PLEASE, PLEASE do not ask to take an antagonist role if you are not okay with this and what it might mean for your character (I will try to avoid situations where your character might be killed or permanently imprisoned and give your character an out if possible, and I ask you do the same for me, but disbelief can only be suspended so much before the RP stops being fun).</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Family?''' I don't have much pre-established for Vincent's family, so the roles of her family, close or distant, are open. Parents and siblings (half-blooded or full-blooded) are available for play as are less close relatives such as cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Her father's name is C'sapa Nunh. Any relatives would be need to be Seekers originally from the Couerl tribe, preferably her sect in the Sagoli. A slight physical resemblance to Vincent would be nice, but less important the more distant the relation. Any family members will need to be discussed to work out the details and receive my permission.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Lovers?''' Vincent is in a long-term, committed relationship, and will not cheat or leave her lover for anyone. That said, her relationship may not be entirely monogamous, but this only applies to female characters (and any interest would likely be more sexual than romantic), as her spouse is a heterosexual man and would likely not want to be left out. Any sexual scenes will be faded-to-black. If you want your character to have romantic/sexual feelings for Vincent for any reason, that's fine, please just respect me and the player of Vincent's spouse OOC, and do not expect your character's feelings to ever be returned or fulfilled.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Past connections?''' I am open to past connections with some discussion to work out the details and my permission given, if you would like to have some pre-established foundation for our characters to build upon rather than starting fresh. Some likely connections would be other members from the Coeurl tribe (particularly her sect), others who lived in the Sagoli that she might have bumped into in her time with her tribe, those who frequented Ul'dah after her exile from her tribe (particularly other street dwellers, or Quicksand lurkers she might have shared a drink or a night with), anyone who might her hired in Ul'dah as a prostitute or goon during her time spent homeless, or anyone who she might have pickpocketed from, been confronted by (law enforcement i.e. Brass Blades), or been hired to rough up during that time. I am open to any suggestions not mentioned here.</font></div><br />

A rags-to-riches Ul'dahn street rat that worked his way up the criminal ladder. His initial work and experience came in the form of petty crime and small gangs, whatever it took to eek out a living.

<!-- TEXT --><br />
<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Vincent--or Vinnie, as most people call him--stands at about 5'8" and has a fairly slender frame. He's not particularly strong. While he keeps himself in shape and maintains a toned body, he relies mostly on various gadgets, weapons, intelligence, speed and agility to help him during an altercation. His skin is mostly pale with a slight tan. He has a scar along the right side of his cheek, though it is typically covered up by his long crimson hair. The left side of his face is generally kept open, openly showing a tribal tattoo given to him when he joined one of the Ul'dahn street gangs. Vincent's eyes are turqoise, rounded and upturned toward the edges while his brows are thin and dark. <br />
<br />
Vinnie can almost always be found wearing a suit, typically dark blue or black and a pair of dark shades to match. He prioritizes his personal appearance over almost everything else, knowing that one must look respectable in order to be respected. He commands himself with a sense of professionalism when on the job, and dressing in anything less would ruin that.<br />
<br />
'''Speech:''' Vincent tries his best to articulate his speech, but it isn't long until his street lifestyle catches up to him. He typically carries a casual tone to his voice, though work seems to denote something more demanding out of him. <br />

<div align=left padding-bottom=20><font style="color: #000; font-size:13px; letter-spacing: 0em;"><br />
<br />
Vincent is laid back, and therefore doesn't seek to harm people he doesn't have to. He is mostly friendly, knowing all too well that knowledge is power and, in his line of work, one must network as much as they can. He doesn't have much in the way of a temper, but when provoked, rather than invoking some sort of explosive anger, Vinnie falls into a calm rage. Any pretense of that kind, happy-go-lucky attitude is lost and he falls strictly to business, or in some cases, work. <br />
<br />
He doesn't have much in the way of morals. Rather, he knows how one should act and does so just enough to get by, but he isn't one to lecture other people on their use of drugs or alcohol. He's quite fond of the latter, himself, and has only been known to make use of the former during a particularly wild party or after inviting a few women back to his room. Speaking of pleasures, Vincent is open to just about anything, though he is not interested in men. He has a "try anything once" type of attitude, and thinks that one must live the one life they've been given to the fullest and experience all that it has to offer.<br />
<br />
Work has him do many questionable things, from ransom to murder to extortion and everything in between. However, Vincent does have a strict code he follows. He will not be involved in slavery, and has no desire for sexual assault. One of the few times he'd come to another's aid is during such cases, believing that all people have the right to be as free as they can or choose to be.<br />
<br />
:'''Motivations:''' Grow his personal wealth, but have fun while doing so.<br />
:'''Disposition:''' Laid back.<br />
:'''Outlook:''' Live life to the fullest.<br />

<br />
Vincent's early life is that of any Ul'dahn orphan: harsh. He lived in the orphanage until he was no longer capable of staying, partially due to it being too full and moreso because he kept causing problems. What he didn't have, he wanted. What he couldn't get, he forcibly took. Vincent was never one to harm others unless he absolutely had to. This led him to stealing from vendors and the more fortunate rather than outright seeking to brawl or kill. But things weren't always successful, and he often returned with bruises and injuries from when he was caught, either by the target or another gang's territory. <br />
<br />
The matron of the orphanage had little in the way of choice when it came to Vincent. Barely twelve years of age, he'd already caused them their fair share of trouble. He was cast out on the streets, forced to fend for himself. Eventually he caught up with the gangs that he'd already made a name for himself in and joined their ranks. There was no order or structure present; just a group of kids and semi-likeminded individuals trying to eek out a living in the harsh Ul'dahn streets. As they grew together, so did the bonds between them, and eventually they became more family than friends.<br />
<br />
This family soon grew into a semi-legitimate organization, or at least as legitimate as a group of ruffians could be. There was some order to it, but only the bare minimum. Those that had been there the longest would act as the leader's lieutenants, and Vincent managed to earn himself a spot there. Each lieutenant was in charge of various interests for the gang, from drugs to prostitution and everything in between.<br />
<br />
Their endeavors soon caught the attention of rival gangs, and it wasn't long before wars began to erupt between the various groups. No one gang was better than the other, and the result was little more than chaos in the streets. Neither faction was willing to give up what territory they had gained, but none of them was willing to settle for what they'd had. It simply became the way of the city, and already dangerous streets became that much more so, especially where territories met.<br />
<br />
And then, one by one, all of the gangs began to fall in line. The bloodshed ceased and soon it came to be that the violence settled. Vincent's gang assumed that they'd managed to somehow come out on top. With at least a tenuous peace, Vincent was looking forward to relaxing as he did before, no longer having to look over his shoulder. At least, not as much as before. Yet, his boss wanted more. He saw the peace as an opportunity for rapid expansion, catching the other gangs off guard and taking their territory one by one. Vincent pleaded to let them be and just enjoy what they had, but it wasn't enough.<br />
<br />
It didn't take long for their actions to reach the ears of others. Suits, as they were known, were ghost stories that gang members shared amongst themselves in hopes of spooking one another on the way home. Whenever someone suddenly vanished, it was the Suits. When no gang was willing to claim a hit, the Suits were to blame. Most had already considered them little more than a product of the times they lived in, and yet, standing before Vinnie and the other Lieutenants were six of them. Their offer was simple; enjoy what was already freely given, and live.<br />
<br />
Vincent's boss had little to hear of it. He refused to believe that anything had been "given" to them, as he was the one giving the orders. There were no Suits present when they took over rival gangs, and there were certainly none about when they formed themselves. He ordered the rest of his gang to continue as they had with little care of the consequences, believing the six men and women that came to them to be little more than a joke from the other gangs. At barely twenty years of age, Vincent knew trouble when he saw it. Yet, this was his family. It was the only life he knew, and he'd do whatever it took to preserve that. Against his better judgement, Vincent agreed to help lead strikes into rival territory. One by one, the other gangs began to fall, and little by little their own expanded. <br />
<br />
And then, just like that, it was all over. They'd gone over the plans countless times. They could recite the street and adjacent territories like they'd studied them their whole lives. Hells, they practically had. They knew every detail, down to each sign post, trash bin, and shop. Yet, nothing could prepare them for what awaited. What was meant to be a quick takeover of an enemy base--an abandoned storage house deep within the city--became a massacre. There were several factions waiting on them, all with weapons well beyond their means. The battle--if you could even call it that--was over in moments, and Vincent was never seen again.<br />
<br />
Some say they saw him shot. Others claimed he was caught in an explosion. Yet still some were convinced that he'd been carried out by rival gang members. By all accounts he was presumed dead, and a part of that was true. Vincent Laurentius, the cocky, street-smart thug was forever changed that night. The Suits had taken him, offering a life of luxury should he only follow their code. In exchange for riches beyond his dreams and a life well beyond any means he'd previously had--or have, he need only give them his life. Vincent accepted with open arms. After all, the alternative was surely death.<br />

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">A woman that Vincent happened to run into during a long night at work. It had been a slow evening, and seeing the gorgeous woman dressed up gave him a bit of hope that the evening wouldn't end on a stale note. Thankfully, he was correct! She accepted his advances and went up to his room with him, where he caught her pickpocketing his jacket. Rather than call the authorities (because that wouldn't have helped things), Vincent offered her a deal. If she agreed to help him out and tend to his "needs," he would make sure that she wanted for nothing. He pulled some strings with the Turks to land her a job, ensuring she remained conveniently close at all times. What was initially a partnership of convenience soon became love, and Vincent makes more than certain to keep his original promise.</div><br />

Write so much purple prose I cannot understand/find the actual action of your post. Fail to respect if I tell you I'm uncomfortable with something, attempt OOC to force our characters into a certain relationship, do underhanded OOC things to try to sabotage my character's relationship with another character (or mine with their player), say racist/sexist/homophobic/otherwise offensive things to me OOC, or lie to me or otherwise cause drama OOC. These are dealbreakers, and I may drop all contact with you without further warning if any of these things happen (I am understanding of accidental/innocent mistakes like the occasional autohit or bit of subconscious metagaming).

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am over 18.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I do freestyle posting, most often para-RP with a paragraph or two. I will typically try to post-to-match, but if you do nothing but one-liners or nothing but huge multi-para posts, I may settle on something more moderate. I do not mind your post style, so long as your posts have interesting content I can respond to and I do not have to struggle through long descriptions that are useless to me or make no sense. I do like posts that are lacking in empty, flowery verbage yet still contain some description and artistry, so I would ideally like to find other para-RPers, but I am not picky!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am primarily looking for in game role-play, or at least RP with characters also from Balmung, but I am open to role-play via RPC PM's or threads, Enjin PM's or threads, Skype messages, or Discord messages or channels. Please send me a PM on the RPC or a /tell in game to ask for my handles. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am in EST timezone. My schedule is somewhat sporadic, so I am on at odd hours. I am usually online somewhere between 2PM - 3AM EST. Most often, you can find me online between 9PM - 2AM EST. I recommend starting any RP by midnight, since I am often winding down and getting ready for bed after that point.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■Along with RP, I am glad to just chat or maybe do some PvE content, or play other games outside of FFXIV. Please don't ever feel you're bothering me if you send me a message. I suck at socializing so I will probably never message you first, but that doesn't mean I dislike talking to you.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like long-term relationships and story-heavy plots. I suck at making my own plots, but I am always happy to be a part of someone else's story!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you do not like Vincent, or if she doesn't mesh well with your character, yet you would still like to role-play with me, I do have other characters who are vastly different.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like to bend lore for the sake of story if called for, but not break it. If someone not conforming to the lore to a T sets you off, you may want to skip on anything more than brief, casual interactions with my characters. If your character is a Miqo'te Dragoon female Nunh WoL Voidsent, likewise, you may want to find someone more up to your speed instead of me! I prefer a healthy middle-ground. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I typically try to avoid combat RP. If somehow it happens despite this, I am often flexible between freeform, rolling, etc. and prefer to do whatever feels best in each individual situation.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am okay with (loosely) planning RP if you have an idea you want to bring up. I do not like RP that is highly scripted, or gives my character a narrow choice of options to react for no discernible IC reason. I am also okay with walk-ups. If you see me anywhere, even if you've never spoken to me before, feel free to post at me! If I am not IC, I will let you know. If I don't respond, it just means I'm afk--sorry! I afk a lot.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you ever have any questions or need clarification about anything whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask. I am a very open person and in the odd case anything does make me uncomfortable, I will simply tell you that. Even if it's mid-RP, I am not one of those "muh 'mmersion!!" people, so I promise I won't be bothered!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell letting me know immediately. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion or avoiding "metagaming." I do care about your feelings, comfort, and enjoyment of the RP! I am fine dialing things back, or dropping a role-play with no hard feelings if we are just not compatible.</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Friends and acquaintances?''' Friends, acquaintances, allies, and business contacts are always welcome. These will need to happen naturally rather than our characters being forced into a friendship that might not suit them. Vincent is easygoing and can get along with most characters, but tends to get along best with characters who are neither very arrogant nor very helpless. Vincent is always glad to make business contacts, typically anyone who can help feed her hobby of tinkering (supplying information or parts) or those who want to patronize her services as a mechanic and engineer. Vincent rarely leaves Thanalan, so contacts that are often in Thanalan are preferred, but I can have her travel if need be.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Enemies and rivals?''' Enemies are always welcome, pending certain conditions. Vincent tries to avoid trouble with most people, but she will step up if someone is being harassed or someone is acting like a genuine asshole, and she will not take being harassed lying down, which can lead to conflicts. I am not interested in RPing with anyone who will harass my character to the point of me having to avoid public RP in the name of "antagonist" RP. I also do not want to RP with anyone who will be sour or demand to retcon if harassing Vincent lands their character in trouble they didn't expect. PLEASE, PLEASE do not ask to take an antagonist role if you are not okay with this and what it might mean for your character (I will try to avoid situations where your character might be killed or permanently imprisoned and give your character an out if possible, and I ask you do the same for me, but disbelief can only be suspended so much before the RP stops being fun).</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Family?''' I don't have much pre-established for Vincent's family, so the roles of her family, close or distant, are open. Parents and siblings (half-blooded or full-blooded) are available for play as are less close relatives such as cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Her father's name is C'sapa Nunh. Any relatives would be need to be Seekers originally from the Couerl tribe, preferably her sect in the Sagoli. A slight physical resemblance to Vincent would be nice, but less important the more distant the relation. Any family members will need to be discussed to work out the details and receive my permission.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Lovers?''' Vincent is in a long-term, committed relationship, and will not cheat or leave her lover for anyone. That said, her relationship may not be entirely monogamous, but this only applies to female characters (and any interest would likely be more sexual than romantic), as her spouse is a heterosexual man and would likely not want to be left out. Any sexual scenes will be faded-to-black. If you want your character to have romantic/sexual feelings for Vincent for any reason, that's fine, please just respect me and the player of Vincent's spouse OOC, and do not expect your character's feelings to ever be returned or fulfilled.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Past connections?''' I am open to past connections with some discussion to work out the details and my permission given, if you would like to have some pre-established foundation for our characters to build upon rather than starting fresh. Some likely connections would be other members from the Coeurl tribe (particularly her sect), others who lived in the Sagoli that she might have bumped into in her time with her tribe, those who frequented Ul'dah after her exile from her tribe (particularly other street dwellers, or Quicksand lurkers she might have shared a drink or a night with), anyone who might her hired in Ul'dah as a prostitute or goon during her time spent homeless, or anyone who she might have pickpocketed from, been confronted by (law enforcement i.e. Brass Blades), or been hired to rough up during that time. I am open to any suggestions not mentioned here.</font></div><br />

A rags-to-riches Ul'dahn street rat that worked his way up the criminal ladder. His initial work and experience came in the form of petty crime and small gangs, whatever it took to eek out a living. Eventually, his actions became known by a much larger syndicate, and soon he was drafted in its ranks.</font><div align=center;><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">Vincent--or Vinnie, as most people call him--stands at about 5'8" and has a fairly slender frame. He's not particularly strong. While he keeps himself in shape and maintains a toned body, he relies mostly on various gadgets, weapons, intelligence, speed and agility to help him during an altercation. His skin is mostly pale with a slight tan. He has a scar along the right side of his cheek, though it is typically covered up by his long crimson hair. The left side of his face is generally kept open, openly showing a tribal tattoo given to him when he joined one of the Ul'dahn street gangs. Vincent's eyes are turqoise, rounded and upturned toward the edges while his brows are thin and dark. <br />
<br />
Vinnie can almost always be found wearing a suit, typically dark blue or black and a pair of dark shades to match. He prioritizes his personal appearance over almost everything else, knowing that one must look respectable in order to be respected. He commands himself with a sense of professionalism when on the job, and dressing in anything less would ruin that.<br />
<br />
'''Speech:''' Vincent tries his best to articulate his speech, but it isn't long until his street lifestyle catches up to him. He typically carries a casual tone to his voice, though work seems to denote something more demanding out of him. <br />

<div align=left padding-bottom=20><font style="color: #000; font-size:13px; letter-spacing: 0em;"><br />
<br />
Vincent is laid back, and therefore doesn't seek to harm people he doesn't have to. He is mostly friendly, knowing all too well that knowledge is power and, in his line of work, one must network as much as they can. He doesn't have much in the way of a temper, but when provoked, rather than invoking some sort of explosive anger, Vinnie falls into a calm rage. Any pretense of that kind, happy-go-lucky attitude is lost and he falls strictly to business, or in some cases, work. <br />
<br />
He doesn't have much in the way of morals. Rather, he knows how one should act and does so just enough to get by, but he isn't one to lecture other people on their use of drugs or alcohol. He's quite fond of the latter, himself, and has only been known to make use of the former during a particularly wild party or after inviting a few women back to his room. Speaking of pleasures, Vincent is open to just about anything, though he is not interested in men. He has a "try anything once" type of attitude, and thinks that one must live the one life they've been given to the fullest and experience all that it has to offer.<br />
<br />
Work has him do many questionable things, from ransom to murder to extortion and everything in between. However, Vincent does have a strict code he follows. He will not be involved in slavery, and has no desire for sexual assault. One of the few times he'd come to another's aid is during such cases, believing that all people have the right to be as free as they can or choose to be.<br />

<br />
Vincent's early life is that of any Ul'dahn orphan: harsh. He lived in the orphanage until he was no longer capable of staying, partially due to it being too full and moreso because he kept causing problems. What he didn't have, he wanted. What he couldn't get, he forcibly took. Vincent was never one to harm others unless he absolutely had to. This led him to stealing from vendors and the more fortunate rather than outright seeking to brawl or kill. But things weren't always successful, and he often returned with bruises and injuries from when he was caught, either by the target or another gang's territory. <br />
<br />
The matron of the orphanage had little in the way of choice when it came to Vincent. Barely twelve years of age, he'd already caused them their fair share of trouble. He was cast out on the streets, forced to fend for himself. Eventually he caught up with the gangs that he'd already made a name for himself in and joined their ranks. There was no order or structure present; just a group of kids and semi-likeminded individuals trying to eek out a living in the harsh Ul'dahn streets. As they grew together, so did the bonds between them, and eventually they became more family than friends.<br />
<br />
This family soon grew into a semi-legitimate organization, or at least as legitimate as a group of ruffians could be. There was some order to it, but only the bare minimum. Those that had been there the longest would act as the leader's lieutenants, and Vincent managed to earn himself a spot there. Each lieutenant was in charge of various interests for the gang, from drugs to prostitution and everything in between.<br />
<br />
Their endeavors soon caught the attention of rival gangs, and it wasn't long before wars began to erupt between the various groups. No one gang was better than the other, and the result was little more than chaos in the streets. Neither faction was willing to give up what territory they had gained, but none of them was willing to settle for what they'd had. It simply became the way of the city, and already dangerous streets became that much more so, especially where territories met.<br />
<br />
And then, one by one, all of the gangs began to fall in line. The bloodshed ceased and soon it came to be that the violence settled. Vincent's gang assumed that they'd managed to somehow come out on top. With at least a tenuous peace, Vincent was looking forward to relaxing as he did before, no longer having to look over his shoulder. At least, not as much as before. Yet, his boss wanted more. He saw the peace as an opportunity for rapid expansion, catching the other gangs off guard and taking their territory one by one. Vincent pleaded to let them be and just enjoy what they had, but it wasn't enough.<br />
<br />
It didn't take long for their actions to reach the ears of others. Suits, as they were known, were ghost stories that gang members shared amongst themselves in hopes of spooking one another on the way home. Whenever someone suddenly vanished, it was the Suits. When no gang was willing to claim a hit, the Suits were to blame. Most had already considered them little more than a product of the times they lived in, and yet, standing before Vinnie and the other Lieutenants were six of them. Their offer was simple; enjoy what was already freely given, and live.<br />
<br />
Vincent's boss had little to hear of it. He refused to believe that anything had been "given" to them, as he was the one giving the orders. There were no Suits present when they took over rival gangs, and there were certainly none about when they formed themselves. He ordered the rest of his gang to continue as they had with little care of the consequences, believing the six men and women that came to them to be little more than a joke from the other gangs. At barely twenty years of age, Vincent knew trouble when he saw it. Yet, this was his family. It was the only life he knew, and he'd do whatever it took to preserve that. Against his better judgement, Vincent agreed to help lead strikes into rival territory. One by one, the other gangs began to fall, and little by little their own expanded. <br />
<br />
And then, just like that, it was all over. They'd gone over the plans countless times. They could recite the street and adjacent territories like they'd studied them their whole lives. Hells, they practically had. They knew every detail, down to each sign post, trash bin, and shop. Yet, nothing could prepare them for what awaited. What was meant to be a quick takeover of an enemy base--an abandoned storage house deep within the city--became a massacre. There were several factions waiting on them, all with weapons well beyond their means. The battle--if you could even call it that--was over in moments, and Vincent was never seen again.<br />
<br />
Some say they saw him shot. Others claimed he was caught in an explosion. Yet still some were convinced that he'd been carried out by rival gang members. By all accounts he was presumed dead, and a part of that was true. Vincent Laurentius, the cocky, street-smart thug was forever changed that night. The Suits had taken him, offering a life of luxury should he only follow their code. In exchange for riches beyond his dreams and a life well beyond any means he'd previously had--or have, he need only give them his life. Vincent accepted with open arms. After all, the alternative was surely death.<br />

| <div style="font-size:11px; font-family:Georgia">A woman that Vincent happened to run into during a long night at work. It had been a slow evening, and seeing the gorgeous woman dressed up gave him a bit of hope that the evening wouldn't end on a stale note. Thankfully, he was correct! She accepted his advances and went up to his room with him, where he caught her pickpocketing his jacket. Rather than call the authorities (because that wouldn't have helped things), Vincent offered her a deal. If she agreed to help him out and tend to his "needs," he would make sure that she wanted for nothing. He pulled some strings with the Turks to land her a job, ensuring she remained conveniently close at all times. What was initially a partnership of convenience soon became love, and Vincent makes more than certain to keep his original promise.</div><br />

Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment. Most walk-up encounters.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Ask about''' long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. Fake/temporary character "deaths." Anything likely to deal permanent and severe psychological trauma to my character. Pre-established relationships. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''I won't play''' permanent character death. Erotic role-play. Fetish fulfillment. Lolicon/shotacon. Any sexual themes involving children, objectively child-like characters, or animals. Any sexual themes with players who are minors OOC. Excessively detailed and overly descriptive gore. Long, drawn out, descriptive torture scenes. Sexual/romantic relationships or requited feelings when my character is already in a serious relationship.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Please do not''' metagame, autohit, godmod, powerplay, role-play to win, or be a bad sport. Take OOC hiccups IC (typos, accidental button pressing, afking, etc.), bring IC into OOC, bring OOC into IC. Lecture me on lore, disrespect my OOC boundaries, disrespect my RP partners, be inconsiderate of my time (hour long waits for posts, demanding I spend more time with you, guilt-trip me for RPing with others, etc.). Write so much purple prose I cannot understand/find the actual action of your post. Fail to respect if I tell you I'm uncomfortable with something, attempt OOC to force our characters into a certain relationship, do underhanded OOC things to try to sabotage my character's relationship with another character (or mine with their player), say racist/sexist/homophobic/otherwise offensive things to me OOC, or lie to me or otherwise cause drama OOC. These are dealbreakers, and I may drop all contact with you without further warning if any of these things happen (I am understanding of accidental/innocent mistakes like the occasional autohit or bit of subconscious metagaming). I know this probably sounds super paranoid, but I only mention each of these things because they are things that have happened before--often more than once!</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am on the Balmung server.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am over 18.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I do freestyle posting, most often para-RP with a paragraph or two. I will typically try to post-to-match, but if you do nothing but one-liners or nothing but huge multi-para posts, I may settle on something more moderate. I do not mind your post style, so long as your posts have interesting content I can respond to and I do not have to struggle through long descriptions that are useless to me or make no sense. I do like posts that are lacking in empty, flowery verbage yet still contain some description and artistry, so I would ideally like to find other para-RPers, but I am not picky!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am primarily looking for in game role-play, or at least RP with characters also from Balmung, but I am open to role-play via RPC PM's or threads, Enjin PM's or threads, Skype messages, or Discord messages or channels. Please send me a PM on the RPC or a /tell in game to ask for my handles. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am in EST timezone. My schedule is somewhat sporadic, so I am on at odd hours. I am usually online somewhere between 2PM - 3AM EST. Most often, you can find me online between 9PM - 2AM EST. I recommend starting any RP by midnight, since I am often winding down and getting ready for bed after that point.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■Along with RP, I am glad to just chat or maybe do some PvE content, or play other games outside of FFXIV. Please don't ever feel you're bothering me if you send me a message. I suck at socializing so I will probably never message you first, but that doesn't mean I dislike talking to you.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like long-term relationships and story-heavy plots. I suck at making my own plots, but I am always happy to be a part of someone else's story!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you do not like Vincent, or if she doesn't mesh well with your character, yet you would still like to role-play with me, I do have other characters who are vastly different.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I like to bend lore for the sake of story if called for, but not break it. If someone not conforming to the lore to a T sets you off, you may want to skip on anything more than brief, casual interactions with my characters. If your character is a Miqo'te Dragoon female Nunh WoL Voidsent, likewise, you may want to find someone more up to your speed instead of me! I prefer a healthy middle-ground. </font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I typically try to avoid combat RP. If somehow it happens despite this, I am often flexible between freeform, rolling, etc. and prefer to do whatever feels best in each individual situation.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■I am okay with (loosely) planning RP if you have an idea you want to bring up. I do not like RP that is highly scripted, or gives my character a narrow choice of options to react for no discernible IC reason. I am also okay with walk-ups. If you see me anywhere, even if you've never spoken to me before, feel free to post at me! If I am not IC, I will let you know. If I don't respond, it just means I'm afk--sorry! I afk a lot.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■If you ever have any questions or need clarification about anything whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask. I am a very open person and in the odd case anything does make me uncomfortable, I will simply tell you that. Even if it's mid-RP, I am not one of those "muh 'mmersion!!" people, so I promise I won't be bothered!</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell letting me know immediately. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion or avoiding "metagaming." I do care about your feelings, comfort, and enjoyment of the RP! I am fine dialing things back, or dropping a role-play with no hard feelings if we are just not compatible.</font></div><br />

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Friends and acquaintances?''' Friends, acquaintances, allies, and business contacts are always welcome. These will need to happen naturally rather than our characters being forced into a friendship that might not suit them. Vincent is easygoing and can get along with most characters, but tends to get along best with characters who are neither very arrogant nor very helpless. Vincent is always glad to make business contacts, typically anyone who can help feed her hobby of tinkering (supplying information or parts) or those who want to patronize her services as a mechanic and engineer. Vincent rarely leaves Thanalan, so contacts that are often in Thanalan are preferred, but I can have her travel if need be.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Enemies and rivals?''' Enemies are always welcome, pending certain conditions. Vincent tries to avoid trouble with most people, but she will step up if someone is being harassed or someone is acting like a genuine asshole, and she will not take being harassed lying down, which can lead to conflicts. I am not interested in RPing with anyone who will harass my character to the point of me having to avoid public RP in the name of "antagonist" RP. I also do not want to RP with anyone who will be sour or demand to retcon if harassing Vincent lands their character in trouble they didn't expect. PLEASE, PLEASE do not ask to take an antagonist role if you are not okay with this and what it might mean for your character (I will try to avoid situations where your character might be killed or permanently imprisoned and give your character an out if possible, and I ask you do the same for me, but disbelief can only be suspended so much before the RP stops being fun).</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Family?''' I don't have much pre-established for Vincent's family, so the roles of her family, close or distant, are open. Parents and siblings (half-blooded or full-blooded) are available for play as are less close relatives such as cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Her father's name is C'sapa Nunh. Any relatives would be need to be Seekers originally from the Couerl tribe, preferably her sect in the Sagoli. A slight physical resemblance to Vincent would be nice, but less important the more distant the relation. Any family members will need to be discussed to work out the details and receive my permission.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Lovers?''' Vincent is in a long-term, committed relationship, and will not cheat or leave her lover for anyone. That said, her relationship may not be entirely monogamous, but this only applies to female characters (and any interest would likely be more sexual than romantic), as her spouse is a heterosexual man and would likely not want to be left out. Any sexual scenes will be faded-to-black. If you want your character to have romantic/sexual feelings for Vincent for any reason, that's fine, please just respect me and the player of Vincent's spouse OOC, and do not expect your character's feelings to ever be returned or fulfilled.</font></div><br />
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Past connections?''' I am open to past connections with some discussion to work out the details and my permission given, if you would like to have some pre-established foundation for our characters to build upon rather than starting fresh. Some likely connections would be other members from the Coeurl tribe (particularly her sect), others who lived in the Sagoli that she might have bumped into in her time with her tribe, those who frequented Ul'dah after her exile from her tribe (particularly other street dwellers, or Quicksand lurkers she might have shared a drink or a night with), anyone who might her hired in Ul'dah as a prostitute or goon during her time spent homeless, or anyone who she might have pickpocketed from, been confronted by (law enforcement i.e. Brass Blades), or been hired to rough up during that time. I am open to any suggestions not mentioned here.</font></div><br />

==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
At first glance, Val seems to be your typical, unkempt ruffian. He is usually dirty and seems to have a new scar or fresh bruise from day to day. Despite this, the Seeker almost always has a smile or mischievous little grin on his face, juxtaposed by the fine clothing he wears. This is generally kept to shirts, though he has been known to dress nice on rare occasions. Whether this is due to his own decision or thanks to the influence of his wife is anyone's guess. What he does compromise on is usually ruffled up or left untucked, and he seems to enjoy pairing whatever she puts on him with a pair of kecks and gloves.<br />
<br />
[[File:Val Nunh.jpg|400px|left|Val Nunh (Courtesy of Claparo!)]]<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Val is your typical Miqo'te Seeker and stands a tad tall for his race, somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8". Though, this is hard to tell considering his slouched and relaxed posture. Ash blonde hair is brushed haphazardly away from an oval face marked with smooth planes and covers the long, slim ears arching over the Miqo'te's youthful visage. His brows are winged, the inner half of each slanted downward to give him an overall mischievous appearance. They're set over bi-colored eyes of blue and gold, both almond-shaped and with a long, faded scar bisecting the skin both above and below the right pale blue orb. A patrician nose is set above firm lips prone to mercurial changes of expression, and a faint touch of blonde stubble marks the curve of his chin. <br />
<br />
His skin is tanned from his exposure to the sun and his overall build is slender and lean, showing an inclination to speed rather than strength. He can typically be seen wearing light leathers that give some protection and hinder movement as little as possible. A lance is typically strapped to his back, the tip bladed for slicing as well as piercing. The end of its metallic shaft is rounded for bludgeoning, if needed. The handle of a dagger can be seen protruding from the top of each of his boots.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Due to Val's upbringing and typical way of life, he tends to lack any sort of manners or sense of control over himself. He's well known for saying the first thing that comes to his head without giving it a second thought. This often leads to offending those around him, admittedly most of it is on purpose. He enjoys pushing the boundaries of others around him and watching them try to cope with it. If it bothers them enough to fight him, it's just an added bonus. He is very determined and egotistical, far believing himself to be superior to most of those around him. He generally lets his cockiness and confidence speak for itself, which tends to get allow him to overpower most individuals or scare them off without actually lifting a finger himself.<br />
<br />
He doesn't care for an obscene amount of wealth, just enough money for food, drink, and a place to sleep. Beyond that, he'd rather spend most of his time relaxing outside and enjoying the world around him. While in the past he preferred the company of whatever beautiful woman was around at the time, Val has since settled on one in particular. Thoroughly convinced that what he and his lover share are something special and beyond the realm of what others could possibly have, Val still openly shuns monogamous relationships. He is fiercely loyal to his beloved, which leads to a lot of the aforementioned behavior. His general choice of words, while already colorful to begin with, become especially so when angered. He shouts a great deal of obscenities and threats and intends to make good on them should it not convince the offender to back down. Perhaps the most damning of Val's responses to someone messing with his lover is silence. It almost always means that he has ill intent.<br />
<br />
Val also lacks trust in others. He expects most people, especially nobility, to be using him to further their own goals. Because of this, he rarely lets himself get close to another. It generally isn't an issue since his overall demeanor tends to repel most people. Those that can stand him long enough to gain his trust will find themselves in possession of a very trustworthy and thoroughly loyal ally. While he'll still have the tendency to joke around and "test" his friends, he will be far more willing to shut down that side of him and be far more considerate to those that have shown the ability to deal with his faults and prove him wrong. As far as emotions are concerned, Val tends to keep them to himself. Only those very nearest to him will truly know if he feels any sort of remorse for his actions or the things he does. He believes showing such to be a sign of weakness, and has thus managed to keep most of them under control. Except anger, of course. It's the one he's never quite been able to tame.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
The best thing to say about Val when it comes to combat is that he loves doing it. He is incredibly prideful of his skill and believes that, beyond all else, beating someone in a fight proves that he is better than them. He also believes it solidifies his claim to be a Nunh, and each victory further proves such. Therefore, Val will do what he can to provoke others to a fight. If they back down, he feels that alone proves himself to be the better. Should they beat him, while his pride may be hurt, it instills with him to train harder until he's able to overcome his opponent.<br />
<br />
Val wields a lance in combat, using it both as a piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning weapon. At times Val has the tendency to use it as a bo staff, taking clear advantage of its weighted ends in the process. He spends the majority of his time reading his opponent and goading an opening out of them. When he finds an opening or is able to discern the opponent's general style of fighting, Val will trade out his lance for his daggers and seek to end the battle as quickly as possible. He's been known to be a bit suicidal in this, willing to take a fatal strike if it means finishing off his opponent during dire situations.<br />
<br />
He only fights honorably when he absolutely has to, feeling that "anything goes" in a real fight. Val frowns at the idea of using practice weapons because he feels there's no real danger in it and is prone to turning down any kind of healing. The wounds remind him of the mistakes made in battle. Val feels that it makes him much stronger to let them to heal on their own, allowing him to develop a better pain threshold.<br />

==Tendencies==<br />
<br />
[[File:ChibiValcolor.png|210px|right|Chibi Val (Courtesy of Lament!)]]<br />
===Likes===<br />
::* Spending time with his lover.<br />
::* When relaxing, he'll often order himself an alcoholic beverage. Anything will do, though he prefers the sweet taste of wine.<br />
::* The sound of gil in his pouch. Not because he covets money, but because he knows he'll be able to eat and rest well that night.<br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
::* White Knights. He actually finds them to be quite pathetic and prefers to simply watch most altercations from afar, if not antagonize them.<br />
::* Val can't stand nobility, or those that descend from it due to their typical demeanor. <br />
::* Anyone moving in on his "territory" (Faye). This almost always results in a fight or an argument.<br />
<br />
===Hobbies/Talents===<br />
::* Val is adept at combat and often seeks it out.<br />
::* He can be particularly suave when he wants to, especially to the ladies that have his interest.<br />
::* He's really good at pissing people off. That's a talent.. right?<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
::* Telling Val that he can't do something is likely the quickest way to get him to try and prove that person wrong.<br />
::* He actually respects relationships and will tend to stay away from those that are in one.<br />
::* He is incredibly vengeful, and will often stop at nothing to get back at those who harmed him or those he holds dear.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
Val is from the Wolf tribe. All there are considered to be family, though most of them quite honestly couldn't stand him. It is assumed that Val's biological family is counted among that group.<br />
<br />
'''Father''' - W'tende<br /><br />
'''Mother''' - W'diah<br /><br />
'''Siblings''' - Unknown, but assumed to be many due to his tribe.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
Val offends many, though he doesn't necessarily seek to make an enemy out of anyone.<br />

[[File:ValandFayev3.png|400px|left|Val and Faye (Courtesy of Minh Pham!)]]<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Faye Covington]]''' - Val was first captivated not only by this ivory-haired Midlander's beauty, but by the challenge that presented itself in her capture. For better or worse the two often butt heads due to their thoroughly conflicting views, though that just serves to keep things interesting enough for Val to stick around. He was originally reluctant with the idea of sticking with one woman, but soon realized it would be the only way to claim her. Now that he's actually with her and she's supplying him with everything he could ask for, it leaves one to wonder exactly who caught who. Val's fondness and respect for the woman grow daily, and with them his fierce loyalty and willingness to do virtually anything she asks of him. Over time, it has managed to change him into a strong and loving companion. While many know that they are engaged, very few know that they've actually eloped and already wed.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Siobhain Surtsthalwyn]]''' - Over time, Val has come to view this honorable and steadfast Hellsguard as a great friend. It didn't quite start that way at first, of course. Originally, he assumed that her naivety would be her ultimate undoing. Through various friendly bouts, however, he has come to respect both the woman and the views that she holds. While he'd never openly admit it, all she need do is ask or come to him with an issue and he'd do what he could to assist her.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Yangh Linh]]''' - When he first met this Keeper, Val assumed that she was just trying to hit on him. She offered a drink and asked him to dance, then his pal Berrod quickly abandoned them. He expressed that he was already with a companion and the woman laughed it off, leaving Val thoroughly confused. Now after getting to know her, Val is incredibly protective of the woman he calls "Priestess". She is strong, not just mentally, but physically as well and has accepted Val as a Disciple of Menphina. The relationship is more motherly than anything, with Yangh doing her best to help Faye and keep the poor Seeker on the right track by constantly reprimanding him for his mistakes. Unbeknownst to many, she's also helping to sharpen his skills with his daggers and teaching him the ways of the assassin.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Berrod Armstrong]]''' - Things did not start off well with Berrod at all. For starters, the Highlander hit on his woman, which immediately put him on Val's list of enemies. They've come to blows several times, each eventually walking away with a victory. In their latest fight, a truce was called to (hopefully) put an end to their rivalry. Truth be told, the two have far more in common than either of them would likely admit. Val knows through their conflict that Berrod is certainly no pushover when it comes to fighting and, because of this, sees Berrod as an invaluable ally to have.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Alexandre Larille]]''' - Val happened upon the unconscious body of this Duskwight shortly after leaving his tribe. Having spent a rather great deal of time alone and not quite used to it, the Seeker stuck around long enough to nurse the Elezen back to health and enjoy the company while he could. For this, Alexandre apparently feels in debt to Val and the two have came to a mutual claim of friendship until such a debt is settled. Neither of them would speak of this, and Val certainly wouldn't admit to having a soft side.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[A’nzil Oenomaus]]''' - Val absolutely hates being burdened with tasks. The only thing he hates more than that is indentured servitude, especially of his own people. This is what brought Val to eventually accept the task of training A'nzil. Truth be told, the Seeker knows little about teaching others aside from how he was taught; with harsh, hands-on experience. He hopes to toughen A'nzil up through a series of battles, feeling that he's been coddled far too much.<br />
<br />
[[File:ValFayeWedding.png|400px|right|Val and Faye's Wedding (Courtesy of Kaoru!)]]<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kah'li Tayuun]]''' - Long before he and Faye were an item, Val hated this Keeper because he seemed to be trying to steal the lady out from under him. He would constantly ridicule Kah'li for being blind which often led to bickering between the two. Over time, the two became friends and even sparring partners, each trading victories. Val has come to respect the man, especially since he respects his relationship with Faye, and would do almost anything should he ever ask.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Dartanon Nobis]]''' - This self-proclaimed knight managed to interfere with Val's retribution on a man that tried to steal Faye from him. While Val was thoroughly hateful towards him at first, the relationship soon turned into something akin to a friendship. At least, until Val found that Dartanon was dating one of the Garleans that had attacked Faye. Since then he's kept the man at arm's length, not because he necessarily doesn't wish to be around him, but because Faye giving the order to exterminate the woman he's with will make cutting him down that much easier should he get in his way.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zularti Vensar]]''' - Val isn't quite sure what to make of this man aside from the fact that he shouldn't really be considered a man at all. He is brash, irrational, and thoroughly childlike. Why Faye follows him or entertains the idea of him being any sort of leader he'll never know, but he has decided to suffer through it in order to keep her happy.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Shadiyah Amari]]''' - Val's first meeting with Shadiyah wasn't exactly under the best of circumstances. While he'd normally be more than inclined to bed the woman, his alliance with his beloved has kept him at a safe distance. He doesn't quite trust her, nor does he trust himself around her. Eventually he became used to her particular brand of person and found that the two have more similarities than he'd originally thought. More than most, Val feels he can be himself around her and now genuinely looks forward to having conversations with the woman, no matter how secret he has to keep them.<br />

<br />
==Character==<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Melfice carries himself with a great sense of pride and dignity, sporting a nearly perfect posture that had no doubt been meticulously practiced over the years. His manner of dress is very much the same, usually preferring a mixture of blacks and dark purples to match his violet eyes. His hair is darkly colored, usually either left to fall down to the middle of his back or held up in a ponytail when the need to be more presentable arises. His face is narrowed with high cheekbones and a patrician's nose to lend to him an overall regal appearance. His brows are thin, the inner half of which seem to permanently slant downward resulting in an overall mischievous or stern expression. He has naturally tanned skin and the Xaela-like scales seem to cover only a small portion of his face. He almost always wears gauntlets to cover his hands, perhaps to hide something or another. <br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Melfice prefers to keep to himself, often going through great lengths to avoid having in-depth discussions with others. This is mostly because, as pompous as he is, the man doesn't expect many others to have anything worthwhile to say. When he does manage to find someone that intrigues him, he opens up a bit more and is far more likely to discuss things. Despite his rather unwelcoming disposition, Melfice can often be found observing the actions and conversations of others, not bothering to hide the fact that he's staring. He doesn't perceive this to be rude simply because he approaches it from a scientific standpoint. As such, he can be rather blunt at times, though he often tries to rein in his comments in order to keep in tune to society's acceptable social graces.<br />
<br />
He does, however, have quite the temper. Melfice is generally good at hiding this, but there are a few buttons one can press that bring it out almost immediately. This is something that his Mistress, Shadiyah, has perfected to an art and uses it to control him when it best suits her needs. For others, especially those he perceives to be beneath him (which is a great many), it is much harder to drive him to anger. When he does, and it is rare, Melfice tends to make a great many mistakes despite himself.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
Melfice tends to do what he can in order to avoid combat, though he isn't against it. His preferred method is to treat combat like a game of chess rather than a direct brawl, often through rendering the opponent immobile. He uses tuned aether crystals located in the fingers of his gauntlets as a medium through which to absorb the opponent's aether, though that requires being directly in contact with the target which is dangerous in of itself. When these spells fail, assuming he is armored, he uses a mixture of the spells with his body's natural strength to defend himself with a large blade. While not particularly skilled with the weapon, his intellect combined with the runes and spells he casts help strike a balance to give him the upper hand in combat. When left without a weapon, and while he often dislikes resorting to what he considers bestial, Melfice will resort to using his claws.<br />
<br />
==Tendencies==<br />
<br />
===Likes===<br />
::* Silence<br />
::* Studying<br />
::* Time with his daughter<br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
::* Physical contact, sexual or otherwise<br />
::* Rudeness<br />
::* Lack of respect<br />
<br />
===Hobbies/Talents===<br />
::* Has the natural ability to retain a lot of information he's read.<br />
::* Loves to research anything pertaining to various old fables, tales, cultures, mythologies, as well as aether and its manipulation.<br />
::* He has near perfect penmanship. It seems to be an art he's perfected.<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
::* Those able to sense or detect the amount of aether one has will likely notice that Mel's is rather large.<br />
::* Something seems off about him. Whether it's his lack of social skills or another thing entirely is unknown.<br />
::* He keeps his satchel on him at all times. In it he carries books, vials of various colored liquids, stationary, and other such useful amenities.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
Melfice's mother, father, and fiancé died some time ago, causing him to shut himself off from the rest of the world. He lost all contact with what little friends and family he had at the time. His extended family likely exists somewhere in the world, but they have no contact and are all but dead to him.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
Through Melfice's various experiments and research into arts that are considered forbidden, often on people, he has made a great deal of enemies. He understands those he has wronged and has recently tried to make amends, though most (understandably) refuse to accept his apologies in any form they take.<br />

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Shadiyah Amari]]''' - His "Mistress" and lover, though the two were not always that. She was pulled from the Void through the means of a summoning ritual born of desperation, and while she could have very well killed him that day, she did not. Originally, Melfice assumed that he had simply managed to exert his dominance over her, but he quickly realized that she was just content enough to remain around and feed from him when needed. Melfice let this willingly happen and, while at first they did not get along, the two soon began to fall for one another. With Shadiyah's help, Melfice managed to let go of the past he'd been trying to desperately to cling to and now focuses all of his research on one thing: a cure.<br />
<br />
==Rumors==<br />
===Common Rumors===<br />
::* "Mel? Yeah, the Vainchelon family used to own a clinic down the street from here. Is it still even in business? They used to do completely free work! They were great for the poor."<br />
::* "He only seems to travel into town to work or get supplies. Sometimes I see him standing around and just doing nothing. It's a bit awkward."<br />
::* "I caught him staring at me one day. I looked back, but he never averted his eyes. Creepy."<br />
<br />
===Moderate Rumors===<br />
::* "The Vainchelon family were Midlanders, I thought? Why is this guy going around claiming to be one when he's a Xaela?"<br />
::* "He seems way too possessive of that dark-haired Miqo'te woman that's around him, yet she's always running around with hardly any clothes on."<br />
::* "He always has strange books and relics with him, usually worn beyond repair. It's a wonder how he manages to read them."<br />
<br />
===Rare Rumors===<br />
::* "I saw him with one of those books he's always carrying around.. caught a glimpse of the name. 'Secrets of the Allagan Empire'. He reads some pretty heavy stuff."<br />
::* "Sometimes I see him with two different women in the Quicksand. I wonder if they know about each other."<br />

==Character==<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Melfice carries himself with a great sense of pride and dignity, sporting a nearly perfect posture that had no doubt been meticulously practiced over the years. His manner of dress is very much the same, usually preferring a mixture of blacks and dark purples to match his violet eyes. His hair is darkly colored, usually either left to fall down to the middle of his back or held up in a ponytail when the need to be more presentable arises. His face is narrowed with high cheekbones and a patrician's nose to lend to him an overall regal appearance. His brows are thin, the inner half of which seem to permanently slant downward resulting in an overall mischievous or stern expression. He has naturally tanned skin and the Xaela-like scales seem to cover only a small portion of his face. He almost always wears gauntlets to cover his hands, perhaps to hide something or another. <br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Melfice prefers to keep to himself, often going through great lengths to avoid having in-depth discussions with others. This is mostly because, as pompous as he is, the man doesn't expect many others to have anything worthwhile to say. When he does manage to find someone that intrigues him, he opens up a bit more and is far more likely to discuss things. Despite his rather unwelcoming disposition, Melfice can often be found observing the actions and conversations of others, not bothering to hide the fact that he's staring. He doesn't perceive this to be rude simply because he approaches it from a scientific standpoint. As such, he can be rather blunt at times, though he often tries to rein in his comments in order to keep in tune to society's acceptable social graces.<br />
<br />
He does, however, have quite the temper. Melfice is generally good at hiding this, but there are a few buttons one can press that bring it out almost immediately. This is something that his Mistress, Shadiyah, has perfected to an art and uses it to control him when it best suits her needs. For others, especially those he perceives to be beneath him (which is a great many), it is much harder to drive him to anger. When he does, and it is rare, Melfice tends to make a great many mistakes despite himself.<br />

<br />
Melfice tends to do what he can in order to avoid combat, though he isn't against it. His preferred method is to treat combat like a game of chess rather than a direct brawl, often through rendering the opponent immobile. He uses tuned aether crystals located in the fingers of his gauntlets as a medium through which to absorb the opponent's aether, though that requires being directly in contact with the target which is dangerous in of itself. When these spells fail, assuming he is armored, he uses a mixture of the spells with his body's natural strength to defend himself with a large blade. While not particularly skilled with the weapon, his intellect combined with the runes and spells he casts help strike a balance to give him the upper hand in combat.

==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
At first glance, Mel appears to be a genuinely mild mannered scholar. He seems to have no trouble at maintaining a well-kept and presentable appearance, likely because he rarely ventures out and prefers to stay indoors with his nose in his books. Those that know him also know that he decries the use of magic due to the possibility of those that rely on it becoming lazy or addicted to its affects.<br />
<br />
When not forced to travel or bottled up in his house, people can find Mel in his clinic located in Ul'dah. It's very likely not well known as Mel himself emphasizes the use of natural healing rather than using conjury or arcana to mend wounds. This has left his previously family-owned clinic in shambles and often visited only by the desperate and impoverished that cannot afford better. The shop itself, despite being in obvious need of work, seems to echo Mel's personality. It's kept very simple and has three rooms. The main room is the waiting and reception area where his maid, '''[[Shadiyah Amari]]''', accepts guests. A small door leads directly into the examination room where Mel receives and examines patients. The only other room is a storage closet that is connected to the examination room. Here, Mel houses various plants, potions, remedies, and also allows it to double as his laboratory for mixing potions.<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Melfice carries himself with a great sense of pride and dignity, sporting a nearly perfect posture that had no doubt been meticulously practiced over the years. His manner of dress is very much the same, usually preferring a mixture of blacks and dark purples to match his violet eyes. His hair is darkly colored, usually either left to fall down to the middle of his back or held up in a ponytail when the need to be more presentable arises. His face is narrowed with high cheekbones and a patrician's nose to lend to him an overall regal appearance. His brows are thin, the inner half of which seem to permanently slant downward resulting in an overall mischievous or stern expression. He has naturally tanned skin and the Xaela-like scales seem to cover only a small portion of his face. He almost always wears gauntlets to cover his hands, perhaps to hide something or another. <br />

<br />
==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
At first glance, Mel appears to be a genuinely mild mannered scholar. He seems to have no trouble at maintaining a well-kept and presentable appearance, likely because he rarely ventures out and prefers to stay indoors with his nose in his books. Those that know him also know that he decries the use of magic due to the possibility of those that rely on it becoming lazy or addicted to its affects.<br />
<br />
When not forced to travel or bottled up in his house, people can find Mel in his clinic located in Ul'dah. It's very likely not well known as Mel himself emphasizes the use of natural healing rather than using conjury or arcana to mend wounds. This has left his previously family-owned clinic in shambles and often visited only by the desperate and impoverished that cannot afford better. The shop itself, despite being in obvious need of work, seems to echo Mel's personality. It's kept very simple and has three rooms. The main room is the waiting and reception area where his maid, '''[[Shadiyah Amari]]''', accepts guests. A small door leads directly into the examination room where Mel receives and examines patients. The only other room is a storage closet that is connected to the examination room. Here, Mel houses various plants, potions, remedies, and also allows it to double as his laboratory for mixing potions.<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Melfice carries himself with a great sense of pride and dignity, sporting a nearly perfect posture that had no doubt been meticulously practiced over the years. His manner of dress is very much the same, usually preferring a mixture of blacks and dark purples to match his violet eyes. His hair is darkly colored, usually either left to fall down to the middle of his back or held up in a ponytail when the need to be more presentable arises. His face is narrowed with high cheekbones and a patrician's nose to lend to him an overall regal appearance. His brows are thin, the inner half of which seem to permanently slant downward resulting in an overall mischievous or stern expression. He has naturally tanned skin and the Xaela-like scales seem to cover only a small portion of his face. He almost always wears gauntlets to cover his hands, perhaps to hide something or another. <br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Melfice prefers to keep to himself, often going through great lengths to avoid having in-depth discussions with others. This is mostly because, as pompous as he is, the man doesn't expect many others to have anything worthwhile to say. When he does manage to find someone that intrigues him, he opens up a bit more and is far more likely to discuss things. Despite his rather unwelcoming disposition, Melfice can often be found observing the actions and conversations of others, not bothering to hide the fact that he's staring. He doesn't perceive this to be rude simply because he approaches it from a scientific standpoint. As such, he can be rather blunt at times, though he often tries to rein in his comments in order to keep in tune to society's acceptable social graces.<br />
<br />
He does, however, have quite the temper. Melfice is generally good at hiding this, but there are a few buttons one can press that bring it out almost immediately. This is something that his Mistress, Shadiyah, has perfected to an art and uses it to control him when it best suits her needs. For others, especially those he perceives to be beneath him (which is a great many), it is much harder to drive him to anger. When he does, and it is rare, Melfice tends to make a great many mistakes despite himself.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
Melfice tends to do what he can in order to avoid combat, though he isn't against it. His preferred method is to treat combat like a game of chess rather than a direct brawl, often through rendering the opponent immobile. He uses tuned aether crystals located in the fingers of his gauntlets as a medium through which to absorb the opponent's aether, though that requires being directly in contact with the target which is dangerous in of itself. When these spells fail, assuming he is armored, he uses a mixture of the spells with his body's natural strength to defend himself with a large blade. While not particularly skilled with the weapon, his intellect combined with the runes and spells he casts help strike a balance to give him the upper hand in combat. When left without a weapon, and while he often dislikes resorting to what he considers bestial, Melfice will resort to using his claws.<br />
<br />

::* Studying<br />
::* Time with his daughter<br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />

::* Rudeness<br />

===Hobbies/Talents===<br />
::* Has the natural ability to retain a lot of information he's read.<br />
::* Loves to research anything pertaining to various old fables, tales, cultures, mythologies, as well as aether and its manipulation.<br />
::* He has near perfect penmanship. It seems to be an art he's perfected.<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
::* Those able to sense or detect the amount of aether one has will likely notice that Mel's is rather large.<br />
::* Something seems off about him. Whether it's his lack of social skills or another thing entirely is unknown.<br />
::* He keeps his satchel on him at all times. In it he carries books, vials of various colored liquids, stationary, and other such useful amenities.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
Melfice's mother, father, and fiancé died some time ago, causing him to shut himself off from the rest of the world. He lost all contact with what little friends and family he had at the time. His extended family likely exists somewhere in the world, but they have no contact and are all but dead to him.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
Through Melfice's various experiments and research into arts that are considered forbidden, often on people, he has made a great deal of enemies. He understands those he has wronged and has recently tried to make amends, though most (understandably) refuse to accept his apologies in any form they take.<br />

This is something that his Mistress, Shadiyah, has perfected to an art and uses it to control him when it best suits her needs. For others, especially those he perceives to be beneath him (which is a great many), it is much harder to drive him to anger. When he does, and it is rare, Melfice tends to make a great many mistakes despite himself.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
Melfice tends to do what he can in order to avoid combat, though he isn't against it. His preferred method is to treat combat like a game of chess rather than a direct brawl, often through rendering the opponent immobile. He uses tuned aether crystals located in the fingers of his gauntlets as a medium through which to absorb the opponent's aether, though that requires being directly in contact with the target which is dangerous in of itself. When these spells fail, assuming he is armored, he uses a mixture of the spells with his body's natural strength to defend himself with a large blade. While not particularly skilled with the weapon, his intellect combined with the runes and spells he casts help strike a balance to give him the upper hand in combat. When left without a weapon, and while he often dislikes resorting to what he considers bestial, Melfice will resort to using his claws.<br />

<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
Melfice's mother, father, and fiancé died some time ago, causing him to shut himself off from the rest of the world. He lost all contact with what little friends and family he had at the time. His extended family likely exists somewhere in the world, but they have no contact and are all but dead to him.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
Through Melfice's various experiments and research into arts that are considered forbidden, often on people, he has made a great deal of enemies. He understands those he has wronged and has recently tried to make amends, though most (understandably) refuse to accept his apologies in any form they take.<br />

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Shadiyah Amari]]''' - Shadiyah's family has served Mel's for many generations. Even after his family perished and Mel declared bankruptcy, she chose to stay by his side without a worry. Perhaps this is why he holds her so dear to him. On the surface, their relationship seems strictly professional. She fetches his things for him and obeys him without any sort of resistance. Should one be lucky enough to catch them unawares, however, they may notice a certain glimmer in his eye as he looks at the thoroughly faithful servant. He seems very protective of her, even if he doesn't quite have anything to protect her with. Maybe therein lies the source of his bravery, or perhaps something far more.<br />

::* "I caught him staring at me one day. I looked back, but he never averted his eyes. Creepy."<br />
<br />
===Moderate Rumors===<br />
::* "The Vainchelon family were Midlanders, I thought? Why is this guy going around claiming to be one when he's a Xaela?"<br />
::* "I get a strange feeling about him. He seems way too possessive of that dark-haired Miqo'te woman that's around him, yet she's always running around with hardly any clothes on."<br />
::* "He always has strange books and relics with him, usually worn beyond repair. It's a wonder how he manages to read them."<br />
<br />
===Rare Rumors===<br />
::* "I saw him with one of those books he's always carrying around.. caught a glimpse of the name. 'Secrets of the Allagan Empire'. He reads some pretty heavy stuff."<br />
::* "Sometimes I see him with two different women in the Quicksand. I wonder if they know about each other."<br />

==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
At first glance, Val seems to be your typical, unkempt ruffian. He is usually dirty and seems to have a new scar or fresh bruise from day to day. Despite this, the Seeker almost always has a smile or mischievous little grin on his face, juxtaposed by the fine clothing he wears. This is generally kept to shirts, though he has been known to dress nice on rare occasions. Whether this is due to his own decision or thanks to the influence of his wife is anyone's guess. What he does compromise on is usually ruffled up or left untucked, and he seems to enjoy pairing whatever she puts on him with a pair of kecks and gloves.<br />
<br />
[[File:Val Nunh.jpg|400px|left|Val Nunh (Courtesy of Claparo!)]]<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Val is your typical Miqo'te Seeker and stands a tad tall for his race, somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8". Though, this is hard to tell considering his slouched and relaxed posture. Ash blonde hair is brushed haphazardly away from an oval face marked with smooth planes and covers the long, slim ears arching over the Miqo'te's youthful visage. His brows are winged, the inner half of each slanted downward to give him an overall mischievous appearance. They're set over bi-colored eyes of blue and gold, both almond-shaped and with a long, faded scar bisecting the skin both above and below the right pale blue orb. A patrician nose is set above firm lips prone to mercurial changes of expression, and a faint touch of blonde stubble marks the curve of his chin. <br />
<br />
His skin is tanned from his exposure to the sun and his overall build is slender and lean, showing an inclination to speed rather than strength. He can typically be seen wearing light leathers that give some protection and hinder movement as little as possible. A lance is typically strapped to his back, the tip bladed for slicing as well as piercing. The end of its metallic shaft is rounded for bludgeoning, if needed. The handle of a dagger can be seen protruding from the top of each of his boots.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Due to Val's upbringing and typical way of life, he tends to lack any sort of manners or sense of control over himself. He's well known for saying the first thing that comes to his head without giving it a second thought. This often leads to offending those around him, admittedly most of it is on purpose. He enjoys pushing the boundaries of others around him and watching them try to cope with it. If it bothers them enough to fight him, it's just an added bonus. He is very determined and egotistical, far believing himself to be superior to most of those around him. He generally lets his cockiness and confidence speak for itself, which tends to get allow him to overpower most individuals or scare them off without actually lifting a finger himself.<br />
<br />
He doesn't care for an obscene amount of wealth, just enough money for food, drink, and a place to sleep. Beyond that, he'd rather spend most of his time relaxing outside and enjoying the world around him. While in the past he preferred the company of whatever beautiful woman was around at the time, Val has since settled on one in particular. Thoroughly convinced that what he and his lover share are something special and beyond the realm of what others could possibly have, Val still openly shuns monogamous relationships. He is fiercely loyal to his beloved, which leads to a lot of the aforementioned behavior. His general choice of words, while already colorful to begin with, become especially so when angered. He shouts a great deal of obscenities and threats and intends to make good on them should it not convince the offender to back down. Perhaps the most damning of Val's responses to someone messing with his lover is silence. It almost always means that he has ill intent.<br />
<br />
Val also lacks trust in others. He expects most people, especially nobility, to be using him to further their own goals. Because of this, he rarely lets himself get close to another. It generally isn't an issue since his overall demeanor tends to repel most people. Those that can stand him long enough to gain his trust will find themselves in possession of a very trustworthy and thoroughly loyal ally. While he'll still have the tendency to joke around and "test" his friends, he will be far more willing to shut down that side of him and be far more considerate to those that have shown the ability to deal with his faults and prove him wrong. As far as emotions are concerned, Val tends to keep them to himself. Only those very nearest to him will truly know if he feels any sort of remorse for his actions or the things he does. He believes showing such to be a sign of weakness, and has thus managed to keep most of them under control. Except anger, of course. It's the one he's never quite been able to tame.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
The best thing to say about Val when it comes to combat is that he loves doing it. He is incredibly prideful of his skill and believes that, beyond all else, beating someone in a fight proves that he is better than them. He also believes it solidifies his claim to be a Nunh, and each victory further proves such. Therefore, Val will do what he can to provoke others to a fight. If they back down, he feels that alone proves himself to be the better. Should they beat him, while his pride may be hurt, it instills with him to train harder until he's able to overcome his opponent.<br />
<br />
Val wields a lance in combat, using it both as a piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning weapon. At times Val has the tendency to use it as a bo staff, taking clear advantage of its weighted ends in the process. He spends the majority of his time reading his opponent and goading an opening out of them. When he finds an opening or is able to discern the opponent's general style of fighting, Val will trade out his lance for his daggers and seek to end the battle as quickly as possible. He's been known to be a bit suicidal in this, willing to take a fatal strike if it means finishing off his opponent during dire situations.<br />
<br />
He only fights honorably when he absolutely has to, feeling that "anything goes" in a real fight. Val frowns at the idea of using practice weapons because he feels there's no real danger in it and is prone to turning down any kind of healing. The wounds remind him of the mistakes made in battle. Val feels that it makes him much stronger to let them to heal on their own, allowing him to develop a better pain threshold.<br />
<br />
==Tendencies==<br />
<br />
[[File:ChibiValcolor.png|210px|right|Chibi Val (Courtesy of Lament!)]]<br />
===Likes===<br />
::* Spending time with his lover.<br />
::* When relaxing, he'll often order himself an alcoholic beverage. Anything will do, though he prefers the sweet taste of wine.<br />
::* The sound of gil in his pouch. Not because he covets money, but because he knows he'll be able to eat and rest well that night.<br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
::* White Knights. He actually finds them to be quite pathetic and prefers to simply watch most altercations from afar, if not antagonize them.<br />
::* Val can't stand nobility, or those that descend from it due to their typical demeanor. <br />
::* Anyone moving in on his "territory" (Faye). This almost always results in a fight or an argument.<br />
<br />
===Hobbies/Talents===<br />
::* Val is adept at combat and often seeks it out.<br />
::* He can be particularly suave when he wants to, especially to the ladies that have his interest.<br />
::* He's really good at pissing people off. That's a talent.. right?<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
::* Telling Val that he can't do something is likely the quickest way to get him to try and prove that person wrong.<br />
::* He actually respects relationships and will tend to stay away from those that are in one.<br />
::* He is incredibly vengeful, and will often stop at nothing to get back at those who harmed him or those he holds dear.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
Val is from the Wolf tribe. All there are considered to be family, though most of them quite honestly couldn't stand him. It is assumed that Val's biological family is counted among that group.<br />
<br />
'''Father''' - W'tende<br /><br />
'''Mother''' - W'diah<br /><br />
'''Siblings''' - Unknown, but assumed to be many due to his tribe.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
Val offends many, though he doesn't necessarily seek to make an enemy out of anyone.<br />

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Faye Covington]]''' - Val was first captivated not only by this ivory-haired Midlander's beauty, but by the challenge that presented itself in her capture. For better or worse the two often butt heads due to their thoroughly conflicting views, though that just serves to keep things interesting enough for Val to stick around. He was originally reluctant with the idea of sticking with one woman, but soon realized it would be the only way to claim her. Now that he's actually with her and she's supplying him with everything he could ask for, it leaves one to wonder exactly who caught who. Val's fondness and respect for the woman grow daily, and with them his fierce loyalty and willingness to do virtually anything she asks of him. Over time, it has managed to change him into a strong and loving companion. While many know that they are engaged, very few know that they've actually eloped and already wed.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Siobhain Surtsthalwyn]]''' - Over time, Val has come to view this honorable and steadfast Hellsguard as a great friend. It didn't quite start that way at first, of course. Originally, he assumed that her naivety would be her ultimate undoing. Through various friendly bouts, however, he has come to respect both the woman and the views that she holds. While he'd never openly admit it, all she need do is ask or come to him with an issue and he'd do what he could to assist her.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Yangh Linh]]''' - When he first met this Keeper, Val assumed that she was just trying to hit on him. She offered a drink and asked him to dance, then his pal Berrod quickly abandoned them. He expressed that he was already with a companion and the woman laughed it off, leaving Val thoroughly confused. Now after getting to know her, Val is incredibly protective of the woman he calls "Priestess". She is strong, not just mentally, but physically as well and has accepted Val as a Disciple of Menphina. The relationship is more motherly than anything, with Yangh doing her best to help Faye and keep the poor Seeker on the right track by constantly reprimanding him for his mistakes. Unbeknownst to many, she's also helping to sharpen his skills with his daggers and teaching him the ways of the assassin.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Berrod Armstrong]]''' - Things did not start off well with Berrod at all. For starters, the Highlander hit on his woman, which immediately put him on Val's list of enemies. They've come to blows several times, each eventually walking away with a victory. In their latest fight, a truce was called to (hopefully) put an end to their rivalry. Truth be told, the two have far more in common than either of them would likely admit. Val knows through their conflict that Berrod is certainly no pushover when it comes to fighting and, because of this, sees Berrod as an invaluable ally to have.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Alexandre Larille]]''' - Val happened upon the unconscious body of this Duskwight shortly after leaving his tribe. Having spent a rather great deal of time alone and not quite used to it, the Seeker stuck around long enough to nurse the Elezen back to health and enjoy the company while he could. For this, Alexandre apparently feels in debt to Val and the two have came to a mutual claim of friendship until such a debt is settled. Neither of them would speak of this, and Val certainly wouldn't admit to having a soft side.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[A’nzil Oenomaus]]''' - Val absolutely hates being burdened with tasks. The only thing he hates more than that is indentured servitude, especially of his own people. This is what brought Val to eventually accept the task of training A'nzil. Truth be told, the Seeker knows little about teaching others aside from how he was taught; with harsh, hands-on experience. He hopes to toughen A'nzil up through a series of battles, feeling that he's been coddled far too much.<br />
<br />
[[File:ValFayeWedding.png|400px|right|Val and Faye's Wedding (Courtesy of Kaoru!)]]<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kah'li Tayuun]]''' - Long before he and Faye were an item, Val hated this Keeper because he seemed to be trying to steal the lady out from under him. He would constantly ridicule Kah'li for being blind which often led to bickering between the two. Over time, the two became friends and even sparring partners, each trading victories. Val has come to respect the man, especially since he respects his relationship with Faye, and would do almost anything should he ever ask.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Dartanon Nobis]]''' - This self-proclaimed knight managed to interfere with Val's retribution on a man that tried to steal Faye from him. While Val was thoroughly hateful towards him at first, the relationship soon turned into something akin to a friendship. At least, until Val found that Dartanon was dating one of the Garleans that had attacked Faye. Since then he's kept the man at arm's length, not because he necessarily doesn't wish to be around him, but because Faye giving the order to exterminate the woman he's with will make cutting him down that much easier should he get in his way.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zularti Vensar]]''' - Val isn't quite sure what to make of this man aside from the fact that he shouldn't really be considered a man at all. He is brash, irrational, and thoroughly childlike. Why Faye follows him or entertains the idea of him being any sort of leader he'll never know, but he has decided to suffer through it in order to keep her happy.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Shadiyah Amari]]''' - Val's first meeting with Shadiyah wasn't exactly under the best of circumstances. While he'd normally be more than inclined to bed the woman, his alliance with his beloved has kept him at a safe distance. He doesn't quite trust her, nor does he trust himself around her. Eventually he became used to her particular brand of person and found that the two have more similarities than he'd originally thought. More than most, Val feels he can be himself around her and now genuinely looks forward to having conversations with the woman, no matter how secret he has to keep them.<br />
<br />
==Rumors==<br />
===Common Rumors===<br />
::* "He's always in the bars whistling and winking at women."<br />
::* "I saw him outside Ul'dah just the other day, sleeping next to the bridge."<br />
::* "That guy's always on the outskirts swinging that lance of his around. Does he ever do anything else?"<br />
<br />
===Moderate Rumors===<br />
::* "I heard he left his tribe."<br />
::* "He's just taking a break from his tribe, right?"<br />
::* "Isn't he with that one white haired woman? Did someone finally manage to tame him?"<br />

===Rare Rumors===<br />
::* "I hear he isn't even a Nunh at all."<br />
::* "I haven't even notice him looking at women now that he's with that one girl."<br />
::* "He damn near changed overnight from rags to plate. Either she's incredibly generous with her coin or they're damned serious."<br />

==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
At first glance, Val seems to be your typical, unkempt ruffian. He is usually dirty and seems to have a new scar or fresh bruise from day to day. Despite this, the Seeker almost always has a smile or mischievous little grin on his face, juxtaposed by the fine clothing he wears. This is generally kept to shirts, though he has been known to dress nice on rare occasions. Whether this is due to his own decision or thanks to the influence of his wife is anyone's guess. What he does compromise on is usually ruffled up or left untucked, and he seems to enjoy pairing whatever she puts on him with a pair of kecks and gloves.<br />
<br />
[[File:Val Nunh.jpg|400px|left|Val Nunh (Courtesy of Claparo!)]]<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Val is your typical Miqo'te Seeker and stands a tad tall for his race, somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8". Though, this is hard to tell considering his slouched and relaxed posture. Ash blonde hair is brushed haphazardly away from an oval face marked with smooth planes and covers the long, slim ears arching over the Miqo'te's youthful visage. His brows are winged, the inner half of each slanted downward to give him an overall mischievous appearance. They're set over bi-colored eyes of blue and gold, both almond-shaped and with a long, faded scar bisecting the skin both above and below the right pale blue orb. A patrician nose is set above firm lips prone to mercurial changes of expression, and a faint touch of blonde stubble marks the curve of his chin. <br />
<br />
His skin is tanned from his exposure to the sun and his overall build is slender and lean, showing an inclination to speed rather than strength. He can typically be seen wearing light leathers that give some protection and hinder movement as little as possible. A lance is typically strapped to his back, the tip bladed for slicing as well as piercing. The end of its metallic shaft is rounded for bludgeoning, if needed. The handle of a dagger can be seen protruding from the top of each of his boots.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Due to Val's upbringing and typical way of life, he tends to lack any sort of manners or sense of control over himself. He's well known for saying the first thing that comes to his head without giving it a second thought. This often leads to offending those around him, admittedly most of it is on purpose. He enjoys pushing the boundaries of others around him and watching them try to cope with it. If it bothers them enough to fight him, it's just an added bonus. He is very determined and egotistical, far believing himself to be superior to most of those around him. He generally lets his cockiness and confidence speak for itself, which tends to get allow him to overpower most individuals or scare them off without actually lifting a finger himself.<br />
<br />
He doesn't care for an obscene amount of wealth, just enough money for food, drink, and a place to sleep. Beyond that, he'd rather spend most of his time relaxing outside and enjoying the world around him. While in the past he preferred the company of whatever beautiful woman was around at the time, Val has since settled on one in particular. Thoroughly convinced that what he and his lover share are something special and beyond the realm of what others could possibly have, Val still openly shuns monogamous relationships. He is fiercely loyal to his beloved, which leads to a lot of the aforementioned behavior. His general choice of words, while already colorful to begin with, become especially so when angered. He shouts a great deal of obscenities and threats and intends to make good on them should it not convince the offender to back down. Perhaps the most damning of Val's responses to someone messing with his lover is silence. It almost always means that he has ill intent.<br />
<br />
Val also lacks trust in others. He expects most people, especially nobility, to be using him to further their own goals. Because of this, he rarely lets himself get close to another. It generally isn't an issue since his overall demeanor tends to repel most people. Those that can stand him long enough to gain his trust will find themselves in possession of a very trustworthy and thoroughly loyal ally. While he'll still have the tendency to joke around and "test" his friends, he will be far more willing to shut down that side of him and be far more considerate to those that have shown the ability to deal with his faults and prove him wrong. As far as emotions are concerned, Val tends to keep them to himself. Only those very nearest to him will truly know if he feels any sort of remorse for his actions or the things he does. He believes showing such to be a sign of weakness, and has thus managed to keep most of them under control. Except anger, of course. It's the one he's never quite been able to tame.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
The best thing to say about Val when it comes to combat is that he loves doing it. He is incredibly prideful of his skill and believes that, beyond all else, beating someone in a fight proves that he is better than them. He also believes it solidifies his claim to be a Nunh, and each victory further proves such. Therefore, Val will do what he can to provoke others to a fight. If they back down, he feels that alone proves himself to be the better. Should they beat him, while his pride may be hurt, it instills with him to train harder until he's able to overcome his opponent.<br />
<br />
Val wields a lance in combat, using it both as a piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning weapon. At times Val has the tendency to use it as a bo staff, taking clear advantage of its weighted ends in the process. He spends the majority of his time reading his opponent and goading an opening out of them. When he finds an opening or is able to discern the opponent's general style of fighting, Val will trade out his lance for his daggers and seek to end the battle as quickly as possible. He's been known to be a bit suicidal in this, willing to take a fatal strike if it means finishing off his opponent during dire situations.<br />
<br />
He only fights honorably when he absolutely has to, feeling that "anything goes" in a real fight. Val frowns at the idea of using practice weapons because he feels there's no real danger in it and is prone to turning down any kind of healing. The wounds remind him of the mistakes made in battle. Val feels that it makes him much stronger to let them to heal on their own, allowing him to develop a better pain threshold.<br />

[[File:ChibiValcolor.png|210px|right|Chibi Val (Courtesy of Lament!)]]<br />
===Likes===<br />
::* Spending time with his lover.<br />
::* When relaxing, he'll often order himself an alcoholic beverage. Anything will do, though he prefers the sweet taste of wine.<br />
::* The sound of gil in his pouch. Not because he covets money, but because he knows he'll be able to eat and rest well that night.<br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
::* White Knights. He actually finds them to be quite pathetic and prefers to simply watch most altercations from afar, if not antagonize them.<br />
::* Val can't stand nobility, or those that descend from it due to their typical demeanor. <br />
::* Anyone moving in on his "territory" (Faye). This almost always results in a fight or an argument.<br />
<br />
===Hobbies/Talents===<br />
::* Val is adept at combat and often seeks it out.<br />
::* He can be particularly suave when he wants to, especially to the ladies that have his interest.<br />
::* He's really good at pissing people off. That's a talent.. right?<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
::* Telling Val that he can't do something is likely the quickest way to get him to try and prove that person wrong.<br />
::* He actually respects relationships and will tend to stay away from those that are in one.<br />
::* He is incredibly vengeful, and will often stop at nothing to get back at those who harmed him or those he holds dear.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
Val is from the Wolf tribe. All there are considered to be family, though most of them quite honestly couldn't stand him. It is assumed that Val's biological family is counted among that group.<br />
<br />
'''Father''' - W'tende<br /><br />
'''Mother''' - W'diah<br /><br />
'''Siblings''' - Unknown, but assumed to be many due to his tribe.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
Val offends many, though he doesn't necessarily seek to make an enemy out of anyone.<br />

[[File:ValandFayev3.png|400px|left|Val and Faye (Courtesy of Minh Pham!)]]<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Faye Covington]]''' - Val was first captivated not only by this ivory-haired Midlander's beauty, but by the challenge that presented itself in her capture. For better or worse the two often butt heads due to their thoroughly conflicting views, though that just serves to keep things interesting enough for Val to stick around. He was originally reluctant with the idea of sticking with one woman, but soon realized it would be the only way to claim her. Now that he's actually with her and she's supplying him with everything he could ask for, it leaves one to wonder exactly who caught who. Val's fondness and respect for the woman grow daily, and with them his fierce loyalty and willingness to do virtually anything she asks of him. Over time, it has managed to change him into a strong and loving companion. While many know that they are engaged, very few know that they've actually eloped and already wed.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Siobhain Surtsthalwyn]]''' - Over time, Val has come to view this honorable and steadfast Hellsguard as a great friend. It didn't quite start that way at first, of course. Originally, he assumed that her naivety would be her ultimate undoing. Through various friendly bouts, however, he has come to respect both the woman and the views that she holds. While he'd never openly admit it, all she need do is ask or come to him with an issue and he'd do what he could to assist her.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Yangh Linh]]''' - When he first met this Keeper, Val assumed that she was just trying to hit on him. She offered a drink and asked him to dance, then his pal Berrod quickly abandoned them. He expressed that he was already with a companion and the woman laughed it off, leaving Val thoroughly confused. Now after getting to know her, Val is incredibly protective of the woman he calls "Priestess". She is strong, not just mentally, but physically as well and has accepted Val as a Disciple of Menphina. The relationship is more motherly than anything, with Yangh doing her best to help Faye and keep the poor Seeker on the right track by constantly reprimanding him for his mistakes. Unbeknownst to many, she's also helping to sharpen his skills with his daggers and teaching him the ways of the assassin.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Berrod Armstrong]]''' - Things did not start off well with Berrod at all. For starters, the Highlander hit on his woman, which immediately put him on Val's list of enemies. They've come to blows several times, each eventually walking away with a victory. In their latest fight, a truce was called to (hopefully) put an end to their rivalry. Truth be told, the two have far more in common than either of them would likely admit. Val knows through their conflict that Berrod is certainly no pushover when it comes to fighting and, because of this, sees Berrod as an invaluable ally to have.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Alexandre Larille]]''' - Val happened upon the unconscious body of this Duskwight shortly after leaving his tribe. Having spent a rather great deal of time alone and not quite used to it, the Seeker stuck around long enough to nurse the Elezen back to health and enjoy the company while he could. For this, Alexandre apparently feels in debt to Val and the two have came to a mutual claim of friendship until such a debt is settled. Neither of them would speak of this, and Val certainly wouldn't admit to having a soft side.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[A’nzil Oenomaus]]''' - Val absolutely hates being burdened with tasks. The only thing he hates more than that is indentured servitude, especially of his own people. This is what brought Val to eventually accept the task of training A'nzil. Truth be told, the Seeker knows little about teaching others aside from how he was taught; with harsh, hands-on experience. He hopes to toughen A'nzil up through a series of battles, feeling that he's been coddled far too much.<br />
<br />
[[File:ValFayeWedding.png|400px|right|Val and Faye's Wedding (Courtesy of Kaoru!)]]<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kah'li Tayuun]]''' - Long before he and Faye were an item, Val hated this Keeper because he seemed to be trying to steal the lady out from under him. He would constantly ridicule Kah'li for being blind which often led to bickering between the two. Over time, the two became friends and even sparring partners, each trading victories. Val has come to respect the man, especially since he respects his relationship with Faye, and would do almost anything should he ever ask.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Dartanon Nobis]]''' - This self-proclaimed knight managed to interfere with Val's retribution on a man that tried to steal Faye from him. While Val was thoroughly hateful towards him at first, the relationship soon turned into something akin to a friendship. At least, until Val found that Dartanon was dating one of the Garleans that had attacked Faye. Since then he's kept the man at arm's length, not because he necessarily doesn't wish to be around him, but because Faye giving the order to exterminate the woman he's with will make cutting him down that much easier should he get in his way.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zularti Vensar]]''' - Val isn't quite sure what to make of this man aside from the fact that he shouldn't really be considered a man at all. He is brash, irrational, and thoroughly childlike. Why Faye follows him or entertains the idea of him being any sort of leader he'll never know, but he has decided to suffer through it in order to keep her happy.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Shadiyah Amari]]''' - Val's first meeting with Shadiyah wasn't exactly under the best of circumstances. While he'd normally be more than inclined to bed the woman, his alliance with his beloved has kept him at a safe distance. He doesn't quite trust her, nor does he trust himself around her. Eventually he became used to her particular brand of person and found that the two have more similarities than he'd originally thought. More than most, Val feels he can be himself around her and now genuinely looks forward to having conversations with the woman, no matter how secret he has to keep them.<br />

::* Val can't stand nobility, or those that descend from it due to their typical demeanor. <br />
::* Anyone moving in on his "territory" (Faye). This almost always results in a fight or an argument.<br />
<br />
===Hobbies/Talents===<br />
::* Val is adept at combat and often seeks it out.<br />
::* He can be particularly suave when he wants to, especially to the ladies that have his interest.<br />
::* He's really good at pissing people off. That's a talent.. right?<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
::* Telling Val that he can't do something is likely the quickest way to get him to try and prove that person wrong.<br />
::* He actually respects relationships and will tend to stay away from those that are in one.<br />
::* He is incredibly vengeful, and will often stop at nothing to get back at those who harmed him or those he holds dear.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
Val is from the Wolf tribe. All there are considered to be family, though most of them quite honestly couldn't stand him. It is assumed that Val's biological family is counted among that group.<br />
<br />
'''Father''' - W'tende<br /><br />
'''Mother''' - W'diah<br /><br />
'''Siblings''' - Unknown, but assumed to be many due to his tribe.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
Val offends many, though he doesn't necessarily seek to make an enemy out of anyone.<br />

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Faye Covington]]''' - Val was first captivated not only by this ivory-haired Midlander's beauty, but by the challenge that presented itself in her capture. For better or worse the two often butt heads due to their thoroughly conflicting views, though that just serves to keep things interesting enough for Val to stick around. He was originally reluctant with the idea of sticking with one woman, but soon realized it would be the only way to claim her. Now that he's actually with her and she's supplying him with everything he could ask for, it leaves one to wonder exactly who caught who. Val's fondness and respect for the woman grow daily, and with them his fierce loyalty and willingness to do virtually anything she asks of him. Over time, it has managed to change him into a strong and loving companion. While many know that they are engaged, very few know that they've actually eloped and already wed.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Siobhain Surtsthalwyn]]''' - Over time, Val has come to view this honorable and steadfast Hellsguard as a great friend. It didn't quite start that way at first, of course. Originally, he assumed that her naivety would be her ultimate undoing. Through various friendly bouts, however, he has come to respect both the woman and the views that she holds. While he'd never openly admit it, all she need do is ask or come to him with an issue and he'd do what he could to assist her.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Yangh Linh]]''' - When he first met this Keeper, Val assumed that she was just trying to hit on him. She offered a drink and asked him to dance, then his pal Berrod quickly abandoned them. He expressed that he was already with a companion and the woman laughed it off, leaving Val thoroughly confused. Now after getting to know her, Val is incredibly protective of the woman he calls "Priestess". She is strong, not just mentally, but physically as well and has accepted Val as a Disciple of Menphina. The relationship is more motherly than anything, with Yangh doing her best to help Faye and keep the poor Seeker on the right track by constantly reprimanding him for his mistakes. Unbeknownst to many, she's also helping to sharpen his skills with his daggers and teaching him the ways of the assassin.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Berrod Armstrong]]''' - Things did not start off well with Berrod at all. For starters, the Highlander hit on his woman, which immediately put him on Val's list of enemies. They've come to blows several times, each eventually walking away with a victory. In their latest fight, a truce was called to (hopefully) put an end to their rivalry. Truth be told, the two have far more in common than either of them would likely admit. Val knows through their conflict that Berrod is certainly no pushover when it comes to fighting and, because of this, sees Berrod as an invaluable ally to have.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Alexandre Larille]]''' - Val happened upon the unconscious body of this Duskwight shortly after leaving his tribe. Having spent a rather great deal of time alone and not quite used to it, the Seeker stuck around long enough to nurse the Elezen back to health and enjoy the company while he could. For this, Alexandre apparently feels in debt to Val and the two have came to a mutual claim of friendship until such a debt is settled. Neither of them would speak of this, and Val certainly wouldn't admit to having a soft side.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[A’nzil Oenomaus]]''' - Val absolutely hates being burdened with tasks. The only thing he hates more than that is indentured servitude, especially of his own people. This is what brought Val to eventually accept the task of training A'nzil. Truth be told, the Seeker knows little about teaching others aside from how he was taught; with harsh, hands-on experience. He hopes to toughen A'nzil up through a series of battles, feeling that he's been coddled far too much.<br />
<br />
[[File:ValFayeWedding.png|400px|right|Val and Faye's Wedding (Courtesy of Kaoru!)]]<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kah'li Tayuun]]''' - Long before he and Faye were an item, Val hated this Keeper because he seemed to be trying to steal the lady out from under him. He would constantly ridicule Kah'li for being blind which often led to bickering between the two. Over time, the two became friends and even sparring partners, each trading victories. Val has come to respect the man, especially since he respects his relationship with Faye, and would do almost anything should he ever ask.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Dartanon Nobis]]''' - This self-proclaimed knight managed to interfere with Val's retribution on a man that tried to steal Faye from him. While Val was thoroughly hateful towards him at first, the relationship soon turned into something akin to a friendship. At least, until Val found that Dartanon was dating one of the Garleans that had attacked Faye. Since then he's kept the man at arm's length, not because he necessarily doesn't wish to be around him, but because Faye giving the order to exterminate the woman he's with will make cutting him down that much easier should he get in his way.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zularti Vensar]]''' - Val isn't quite sure what to make of this man aside from the fact that he shouldn't really be considered a man at all. He is brash, irrational, and thoroughly childlike. Why Faye follows him or entertains the idea of him being any sort of leader he'll never know, but he has decided to suffer through it in order to keep her happy.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Unknown Keeper of the Moon]]''' - There is little that Val knows about this dark skinned, dark haired Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon. What he does know is that she has the ability to assume the form of nearly anyone. She barged into his home shortly after Faye had been kidnapped and offered only to give her location and a cure for the poison currently afflicting him in exchange for his aether. When she left, Val was broken. He is now deathly afraid of her particular kind of Voidsent, as well as wary of any women that get near him in case they happen to be her returning for more.<br />

==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
Cyrus appears to be a very mild mannered, kind and friendly individual. He can often be find traveling the streets of whatever town he inhabits in search of anyone that needs help. From the richest king to the poorest beggar, in his eyes no one deserves to be denied assistance. When on patrol he tends to wear his armor, shoddy and well worn though it may be. He's seen with more traditional, conservative clothing otherwise.<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Cyrus stands a tad tall at just under six feet. He tries to maintain a perfect posture, at least while on duty. When off duty, Cyrus is noticeably more relaxed. His eyebrows aren't too thick and are generally set to give a mild mannered, overall calmed appearance. However, at times the inner halves can curve sharply should anyone manage to actually anger him. His eyes are rounded with an aqua blue coloring to them; a stark contrast to the straight, raven black hair that frames his features. His face shows no signs of permanent scarring; perhaps he's either really good or really lucky. His facial features, though touched by youth, denote strength and bravery, complete with a roman nose and broad cheekbones. <br />
<br />
His skin is only slightly tanned and his musculature is not overly defined, but apparent. His shoulders are broad, likely giving him more of an intimidation factor than he rightly deserves. As of now, his armor is worn and shoddy. The pieces themselves are nothing special, bronzed and a little rusted in places though he obviously strives to keep them as clean as possible. Strapped to his left hip is a simple steel longsword, no special design or elegant writing anywhere to be seen. It seems to have long since passed its time, the blade patched and nicked in various places. On his back an equally used bronze scutum, complete with its own scratches and dents. Regardless of the poor wear of his armor, Cyrus wears it with pride and puts it to the best use he can.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Cyrus comes from humble beginnings, and the way he acts more than reflects this. He doesn't spend money unless he absolutely has to and, more often than not, would rather give it to those in need than keep it for himself. He is incredibly respectful to all those around him and does his best to ensure he isn't stepping on anyone's toes. Although determined, Cyrus has a very innate passive nature and prefers to talk things out rather than draw his weapon if at all possible. He does not see this as a weakness, however. It simply means that should his weapon ever come to the ready, he knows it's for a just cause.<br />
<br />
He's more than happy to converse with men and women alike and treats both equally regardless of the race, nation, or social class they hail from. This does not mean that he'll act informally should he cross paths with a noble; he just doesn't see the coincidence of one's birth to be at all telling of their true worth to the world. If he comes off as inexperienced, it's because he is. Despite having basic training from his parents, Cyrus has never really ventured out of the Shroud until now. He takes everything he sees with the wide-eyed fascination of youth and is more than willing to learn what he can about the world and the people in it. One particular downside is that Cyrus is incredibly trusting of others. While he is cautious of others when he feels the time calls for it, he is willing to give many the benefit of the doubt. He struggles to see the good in everyone, even if it isn't particularly there. This may land him in more trouble in the future, but it was generally true more often than not in the small villa he hailed from.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
While Cyrus doesn't prefer to do battle, he will should the definite need arise. When he does, he prefers to act without doing definite harm to his opponents. This generally means that he'll try to keep his guard more often than not and, rather than go for killing blows, attempt to disarm his opponent and leave them disabled. While he doesn't necessarily have the proper skill or training to wield his sword and shield, he at least knows how to get himself behind them and keep the enemy busy. Perhaps in the future he'll learn to better use his hand-me-down arms.<br />
<br />
Despite not actually being a knight, Cyrus strives to become one. As such, he follows a strict code of chivalry passed down to him by his mother and father. They often told him tales of heroic knights and epic battles when he was a child growing up and he seeks to emulate it as much as possible. As such, he will gladly accept any duel or challenge formally given to him. Furthermore, he strives to never turn away someone in need or turn his back on an enemy. He'll not strike an unarmed opponent and, should the need arise, willingly fight to his last breath.<br />
<br />
==Tendencies==<br />
<br />
===Likes===<br />
::* Meeting new people. He's more than willing to introduce himself to others and spend time with them.<br />
::* Making others smile. Beyond protecting them, he's always looking for ways to improve someone's day.<br />
::* Training. Anything that involves bettering oneself.<br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
::* Harming others and anyone/thing that harms others. This includes oppression and the like.<br />
::* Alcoholism. He'll drink during special occasions even if he doesn't like it, but he prefers to stay away from such beverages. He dislikes the way it tends to make people act and the things people do under its influence, though he respects a person's desire to do it until they start to cause problems.<br />
::* Fights. Cyrus only fights as a last resort and would much rather help others rationalize their issues than resort to physical confrontation.<br />
<br />
===Hobbies/Talents===<br />
::* Armorsmithing and blacksmithing. He isn't particularly skilled at either, but knows enough to at least keep his own armor in repair. <br />
::* Woodworking is something he learned from his father and a skill he cherishes greatly. He often makes tiny little toys for others to cheer them up.<br />
::* Walking. Cyrus enjoys to simply stroll about and take in the sights of where ever he is. It both relaxes him and also gets him to know the area and is people more.<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
::* Cyrus is incredibly approachable! He's always willing to lend an ear or helping hand!<br />
::* <br />

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[X'unmei Noh]]''' - When Cyrus first managed to leave his small town home in the Shroud, he set his sights for Gridania. His parents had used what connections they had to land him a position as a guard with the Order of the Twin Adders. Unfortunately, Cyrus was late to his meeting due to losing his way during the trip.. and then again after reaching Gridania due to being unable to find his Inn. However, the fates seem to work in mysterious ways and this time was no different. He happened upon X'unmei there, a Seeker simply trying to make it on her own. Despite Cyrus having nothing to give her in return, she showed him the way to the Inn out of the kindness of her heart. He couldn't let this go unrewarded and offered her to stay in his room with him. While it was incredibly awkward at first and Cyrus may have had to tell a few white lies to ensure she was able to stay, their friendship eventually grew into something far more. Unfortunately for him, events led to a breaking of their eventual engagement and Unmei left him for another. Rather than hold any outward contempt for the woman, Cyrus is still very much in love with her and wishes her all the best in her new life.<br />

==Rumors==<br />
===Common Rumors===<br />

::* "He's improving somehow. I don't know how or when he's getting the training, but he seems.. different."<br />
<br />
===Moderate Rumors===<br />
::* "Used ta see 'im walkin' 'round all th'time wi' this cute redheaded Seeker girl. Dunno what happened, but I ain' seen 'im with 'er since."<br />
::* "Whenever he visits the Quicksand he's always asking about some slave traders. Risky, openly asking for things like that. Surprised someone doesn't gut him in the street."<br />
::* "He wanders all over the place. I've seen him in Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa. Used to be in Gridania a lot, but these days I guess he doesn't have much reason to go there anymore."<br />
<br />
===Rare Rumors===<br />
::* "Overheard some woman talking to him the other day.. mentioned something about Ishgard."<br />
::* "He wasn't a native to the Shroud like he tells everyone. Or at least his parents weren't. One day they just showed up in town to buy supplies and kept coming back. Damn shame what happened to them."<br />
::* "They say his family used to live in the Shroud. Yeah, used to. Overheard him saying they got slaughtered by some bandits. He was a pretty wholesome youth, but a kind of thing like that'll make someone grow up real quick I guess."<br />

Although determined, Cyrus has a very innate passive nature and prefers to talk things out rather than draw his weapon if at all possible. He does not see this as a weakness, however. It simply means that should his weapon ever come to the ready, he knows it's for a just cause.<br />
<br />
He's more than happy to converse with men and women alike and treats both equally regardless of the race, nation, or social class they hail from. This does not mean that he'll act informally should he cross paths with a noble; he just doesn't see the coincidence of one's birth to be at all telling of their true worth to the world. If he comes off as inexperienced, it's because he is. Despite having basic training from his parents, Cyrus has never really ventured out of the Shroud until now. He takes everything he sees with the wide-eyed fascination of youth and is more than willing to learn what he can about the world and the people in it. One particular downside is that Cyrus is incredibly trusting of others. While he is cautious of others when he feels the time calls for it, he is willing to give many the benefit of the doubt. He struggles to see the good in everyone, even if it isn't particularly there. This may land him in more trouble in the future, but it was generally true more often than not in the small villa he hailed from.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
While Cyrus doesn't prefer to do battle, he will should the definite need arise. When he does, he prefers to act without doing definite harm to his opponents. This generally means that he'll try to keep his guard more often than not and, rather than go for killing blows, attempt to disarm his opponent and leave them disabled. While he doesn't necessarily have the proper skill or training to wield his sword and shield, he at least knows how to get himself behind them and keep the enemy busy. Perhaps in the future he'll learn to better use his hand-me-down arms.<br />
<br />
Despite not actually being a knight, Cyrus strives to become one. As such, he follows a strict code of chivalry passed down to him by his mother and father. They often told him tales of heroic knights and epic battles when he was a child growing up and he seeks to emulate it as much as possible. As such, he will gladly accept any duel or challenge formally given to him. Furthermore, he strives to never turn away someone in need or turn his back on an enemy. He'll not strike an unarmed opponent and, should the need arise, willingly fight to his last breath.<br />

==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
Cyrus appears to be a very mild mannered, kind and friendly individual. He can often be find traveling the streets of whatever town he inhabits in search of anyone that needs help. From the richest king to the poorest beggar, in his eyes no one deserves to be denied assistance. When on patrol he tends to wear his armor, shoddy and well worn though it may be. He's seen with more traditional, conservative clothing otherwise.<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Cyrus stands a tad tall at just under six feet. He tries to maintain a perfect posture, at least while on duty. When off duty, Cyrus is noticeably more relaxed. His eyebrows aren't too thick and are generally set to give a mild mannered, overall calmed appearance. However, at times the inner halves can curve sharply should anyone manage to actually anger him. His eyes are rounded with an aqua blue coloring to them; a stark contrast to the straight, raven black hair that frames his features. His face shows no signs of permanent scarring; perhaps he's either really good or really lucky. His facial features, though touched by youth, denote strength and bravery, complete with a roman nose and broad cheekbones. <br />
<br />
His skin is only slightly tanned and his musculature is not overly defined, but apparent. His shoulders are broad, likely giving him more of an intimidation factor than he rightly deserves. As of now, his armor is worn and shoddy. The pieces themselves are nothing special, bronzed and a little rusted in places though he obviously strives to keep them as clean as possible. Strapped to his left hip is a simple steel longsword, no special design or elegant writing anywhere to be seen. It seems to have long since passed its time, the blade patched and nicked in various places. On his back an equally used bronze scutum, complete with its own scratches and dents. Regardless of the poor wear of his armor, Cyrus wears it with pride and puts it to the best use he can.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Cyrus comes from humble beginnings, and the way he acts more than reflects this. He doesn't spend money unless he absolutely has to and, more often than not, would rather give it to those in need than keep it for himself. He is incredibly respectful to all those around him and does his best to ensure he isn't stepping on anyone's toes. Although determined, Cyrus has a very innate passive nature and prefers to talk things out rather than draw his weapon if at all possible. He does not see this as a weakness, however. It simply means that should his weapon ever come to the ready, he knows it's for a just cause.<br />
<br />
He's more than happy to converse with men and women alike and treats both equally regardless of the race, nation, or social class they hail from. This does not mean that he'll act informally should he cross paths with a noble; he just doesn't see the coincidence of one's birth to be at all telling of their true worth to the world. If he comes off as inexperienced, it's because he is. Despite having basic training from his parents, Cyrus has never really ventured out of the Shroud until now. He takes everything he sees with the wide-eyed fascination of youth and is more than willing to learn what he can about the world and the people in it. One particular downside is that Cyrus is incredibly trusting of others. While he is cautious of others when he feels the time calls for it, he is willing to give many the benefit of the doubt. He struggles to see the good in everyone, even if it isn't particularly there. This may land him in more trouble in the future, but it was generally true more often than not in the small villa he hailed from.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
While Cyrus doesn't prefer to do battle, he will should the definite need arise. When he does, he prefers to act without doing definite harm to his opponents. This generally means that he'll try to keep his guard more often than not and, rather than go for killing blows, attempt to disarm his opponent and leave them disabled. While he doesn't necessarily have the proper skill or training to wield his sword and shield, he at least knows how to get himself behind them and keep the enemy busy. Perhaps in the future he'll learn to better use his hand-me-down arms.<br />
<br />
Despite not actually being a knight, Cyrus strives to become one. As such, he follows a strict code of chivalry passed down to him by his mother and father. They often told him tales of heroic knights and epic battles when he was a child growing up and he seeks to emulate it as much as possible. As such, he will gladly accept any duel or challenge formally given to him. Furthermore, he strives to never turn away someone in need or turn his back on an enemy. He'll not strike an unarmed opponent and, should the need arise, willingly fight to his last breath.<br />

==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
At first glance, Val seems to be your typical, unkempt ruffian. He is usually dirty and seems to have a new scar or fresh bruise from day to day. Despite this, the Seeker almost always has a smile or mischievous little grin on his face, juxtaposed by the fine clothing he wears. This is generally kept to shirts, though he has been known to dress nice on rare occasions. Whether this is due to his own decision or thanks to the influence of his wife is anyone's guess. What he does compromise on is usually ruffled up or left untucked, and he seems to enjoy pairing whatever his she puts on him with a pair of kecks and gloves.<br />
<br />
[[File:Val Nunh.jpg|400px|left|Val Nunh (Courtesy of Claparo!)]]<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Val is your typical Miqo'te Seeker and stands a tad tall for his race, somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8". Though, this is hard to tell considering his slouched and relaxed posture. Ash blonde hair is brushed haphazardly away from an oval face marked with smooth planes and covers the long, slim ears arching over the Miqo'te's youthful visage. His brows are winged, the inner half of each slanted downward to give him an overall mischievous appearance. They're set over bi-colored eyes of blue and gold, both almond-shaped and with a long, faded scar bisecting the skin both above and below the right pale blue orb. A patrician nose is set above firm lips prone to mercurial changes of expression, and a faint touch of blonde stubble marks the curve of his chin. <br />
<br />
His skin is tanned from his exposure to the sun and his overall build is slender and lean, showing an inclination to speed rather than strength. He can typically be seen wearing light leathers that give some protection and hinder movement as little as possible. A lance is typically strapped to his back, the tip bladed for slicing as well as piercing. The end of its metallic shaft is rounded for bludgeoning, if needed. The handle of a dagger can be seen protruding from the top of each of his boots.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Due to Val's upbringing and typical way of life, he tends to lack any sort of manners or sense of control over himself. He's well known for saying the first thing that comes to his head without giving it a second thought. This often leads to offending those around him, admittedly most of it is on purpose. He enjoys pushing the boundaries of others around him and watching them try to cope with it. If it bothers them enough to fight him, it's just an added bonus. He is very determined and egotistical, far believing himself to be superior to most of those around him. He generally lets his cockiness and confidence speak for itself, which tends to get allow him to overpower most individuals or scare them off without actually lifting a finger himself.<br />
<br />
He doesn't care for an obscene amount of wealth, just enough money for food, drink, and a place to sleep. Beyond that, he'd rather spend most of his time relaxing outside and enjoying the world around him. While in the past he preferred the company of whatever beautiful woman was around at the time, Val has since settled on one in particular. Thoroughly convinced that what he and his lover share are something special and beyond the realm of what others could possibly have, Val still openly shuns monogamous relationships. He is fiercely loyal to his beloved, which leads to a lot of the aforementioned behavior. His general choice of words, while already colorful to begin with, become especially so when angered. He shouts a great deal of obscenities and threats and intends to make good on them should it not convince the offender to back down. Perhaps the most damning of Val's responses to someone messing with his lover is silence. It almost always means that he has ill intent.<br />
<br />
Val also lacks trust in others. He expects most people, especially nobility, to be using him to further their own goals. Because of this, he rarely lets himself get close to another. It generally isn't an issue since his overall demeanor tends to repel most people. Those that can stand him long enough to gain his trust will find themselves in possession of a very trustworthy and thoroughly loyal ally. While he'll still have the tendency to joke around and "test" his friends, he will be far more willing to shut down that side of him and be far more considerate to those that have shown the ability to deal with his faults and prove him wrong. As far as emotions are concerned, Val tends to keep them to himself. Only those very nearest to him will truly know if he feels any sort of remorse for his actions or the things he does. He believes showing such to be a sign of weakness, and has thus managed to keep most of them under control. Except anger, of course. It's the one he's never quite been able to tame.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
The best thing to say about Val when it comes to combat is that he loves doing it. He is incredibly prideful of his skill and believes that, beyond all else, beating someone in a fight proves that he is better than them. He also believes it solidifies his claim to be a Nunh, and each victory further proves such. Therefore, Val will do what he can to provoke others to a fight. If they back down, he feels that alone proves himself to be the better. Should they beat him, while his pride may be hurt, it instills with him to train harder until he's able to overcome his opponent.<br />
<br />
Val wields a lance in combat, using it both as a piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning weapon. At times Val has the tendency to use it as a bo staff, taking clear advantage of its weighted ends in the process. He spends the majority of his time reading his opponent and goading an opening out of them. When he finds an opening or is able to discern the opponent's general style of fighting, Val will trade out his lance for his daggers and seek to end the battle as quickly as possible. He's been known to be a bit suicidal in this, willing to take a fatal strike if it means finishing off his opponent during dire situations.<br />
<br />
He only fights honorably when he absolutely has to, feeling that "anything goes" in a real fight. Val frowns at the idea of using practice weapons because he feels there's no real danger in it and is prone to turning down any kind of healing. The wounds remind him of the mistakes made in battle. Val feels that it makes him much stronger to let them to heal on their own, allowing him to develop a better pain threshold.<br />
<br />
==Tendencies==<br />
<br />
[[File:ChibiValcolor.png|210px|right|Chibi Val (Courtesy of Lament!)]]<br />
===Likes===<br />
::* Spending time with his lover.<br />
::* When relaxing, he'll often order himself an alcoholic beverage. Anything will do, though he prefers the sweet taste of wine.<br />
::* The sound of gil in his pouch. Not because he covets money, but because he knows he'll be able to eat and rest well that night.<br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
::* White Knights. He actually finds them to be quite pathetic and prefers to simply watch most altercations from afar, if not antagonize them.<br />
::* Val can't stand nobility, or those that descend from it due to their typical demeanor. <br />
::* Anyone moving in on his "territory" (Faye). This almost always results in a fight or an argument.<br />
<br />
===Hobbies/Talents===<br />
::* Val is adept at combat and often seeks it out.<br />
::* He can be particularly suave when he wants to, especially to the ladies that have his interest.<br />
::* He's really good at pissing people off. That's a talent.. right?<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
::* Telling Val that he can't do something is likely the quickest way to get him to try and prove that person wrong.<br />
::* He actually respects relationships and will tend to stay away from those that are in one.<br />
::* He is incredibly vengeful, and will often stop at nothing to get back at those who harmed him or those he holds dear.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
Val is from the Wolf tribe. All there are considered to be family, though most of them quite honestly couldn't stand him. It is assumed that Val's biological family is counted among that group.<br />
<br />
'''Father''' - W'tende<br /><br />
'''Mother''' - W'diah<br /><br />
'''Siblings''' - Unknown, but assumed to be many due to his tribe.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
Val offends many, though he doesn't necessarily seek to make an enemy out of anyone.<br />

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Faye Covington]]''' - Val was first captivated not only by this ivory-haired Midlander's beauty, but by the challenge that presented itself in her capture. For better or worse the two often butt heads due to their thoroughly conflicting views, though that just serves to keep things interesting enough for Val to stick around. He was originally reluctant with the idea of sticking with one woman, but soon realized it would be the only way to claim her. Now that he's actually with her and she's supplying him with everything he could ask for, it leaves one to wonder exactly who caught who. Val's fondness and respect for the woman grow daily, and with them his fierce loyalty and willingness to do virtually anything she asks of him. Over time, it has managed to change him into a strong and loving companion. While many know that they are engaged, very few know that they've actually eloped and already wed.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Siobhain Surtsthalwyn]]''' - Over time, Val has come to view this honorable and steadfast Hellsguard as a great friend. It didn't quite start that way at first, of course. Originally, he assumed that her naivety would be her ultimate undoing. Through various friendly bouts, however, he has come to respect both the woman and the views that she holds. While he'd never openly admit it, all she need do is ask or come to him with an issue and he'd do what he could to assist her.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Yangh Linh]]''' - When he first met this Keeper, Val assumed that she was just trying to hit on him. She offered a drink and asked him to dance, then his pal Berrod quickly abandoned them. He expressed that he was already with a companion and the woman laughed it off, leaving Val thoroughly confused. Now after getting to know her, Val is incredibly protective of the woman he calls "Priestess". She is strong, not just mentally, but physically as well and has accepted Val as a Disciple of Menphina. The relationship is more motherly than anything, with Yangh doing her best to help Faye and keep the poor Seeker on the right track by constantly reprimanding him for his mistakes. Unbeknownst to many, she's also helping to sharpen his skills with his daggers and teaching him the ways of the assassin.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Berrod Armstrong]]''' - Things did not start off well with Berrod at all. For starters, the Highlander hit on his woman, which immediately put him on Val's list of enemies. They've come to blows several times, each eventually walking away with a victory. In their latest fight, a truce was called to (hopefully) put an end to their rivalry. Truth be told, the two have far more in common than either of them would likely admit. Val knows through their conflict that Berrod is certainly no pushover when it comes to fighting and, because of this, sees Berrod as an invaluable ally to have.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Alexandre Larille]]''' - Val happened upon the unconscious body of this Duskwight shortly after leaving his tribe. Having spent a rather great deal of time alone and not quite used to it, the Seeker stuck around long enough to nurse the Elezen back to health and enjoy the company while he could. For this, Alexandre apparently feels in debt to Val and the two have came to a mutual claim of friendship until such a debt is settled. Neither of them would speak of this, and Val certainly wouldn't admit to having a soft side.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[A’nzil Oenomaus]]''' - Val absolutely hates being burdened with tasks. The only thing he hates more than that is indentured servitude, especially of his own people. This is what brought Val to eventually accept the task of training A'nzil. Truth be told, the Seeker knows little about teaching others aside from how he was taught; with harsh, hands-on experience. He hopes to toughen A'nzil up through a series of battles, feeling that he's been coddled far too much.<br />
<br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kah'li Tayuun]]''' - Long before he and Faye were an item, Val hated this Keeper because he seemed to be trying to steal the lady out from under him. He would constantly ridicule Kah'li for being blind which often led to bickering between the two. Over time, the two became friends and even sparring partners, each trading victories. Val has come to respect the man, especially since he respects his relationship with Faye, and would do almost anything should he ever ask.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Dartanon Nobis]]''' - This self-proclaimed knight managed to interfere with Val's retribution on a man that tried to steal Faye from him. While Val was thoroughly hateful towards him at first, the relationship soon turned into something akin to a friendship. At least, until Val found that Dartanon was dating one of the Garleans that had attacked Faye. Since then he's kept the man at arm's length, not because he necessarily doesn't wish to be around him, but because Faye giving the order to exterminate the woman he's with will make cutting him down that much easier should he get in his way.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zularti Vensar]]''' - Val isn't quite sure what to make of this man aside from the fact that he shouldn't really be considered a man at all. He is brash, irrational, and thoroughly childlike. Why Faye follows him or entertains the idea of him being any sort of leader he'll never know, but he has decided to suffer through it in order to keep her happy.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Unknown Keeper of the Moon]]''' - There is little that Val knows about this dark skinned, dark haired Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon. What he does know is that she has the ability to assume the form of nearly anyone. She barged into his home shortly after Faye had been kidnapped and offered only to give her location and a cure for the poison currently afflicting him in exchange for his aether. When she left, Val was broken. He is now deathly afraid of her particular kind of Voidsent, as well as wary of any women that get near him in case they happen to be her returning for more.<br />

==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
At first glance, Val seems to be your typical, unkempt ruffian. He is usually dirty and seems to have a new scar or fresh bruise from day to day. Despite this, the Seeker almost always has a smile or mischievous little grin on his face, juxtaposed by the fine clothing he wears. This is generally kept to shirts, though he has been known to dress nice on rare occasions. Whether this is due to his own decision or thanks to the influence of his wife is anyone's guess. What he does compromise on is usually ruffled up or left untucked, and he seems to enjoy pairing whatever his she puts on him with a pair of kecks and gloves.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tierval.jpg|400px|left|Val Nunh (Courtesy of Tiergan!)]]<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Val is your typical Miqo'te Seeker and stands a tad tall for his race, somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8". Though, this is hard to tell considering his slouched and relaxed posture. Ash blonde hair is brushed haphazardly away from an oval face marked with smooth planes and covers the long, slim ears arching over the Miqo'te's youthful visage. His brows are winged, the inner half of each slanted downward to give him an overall mischievous appearance. They're set over bi-colored eyes of blue and gold, both almond-shaped and with a long, faded scar bisecting the skin both above and below the right pale blue orb. A patrician nose is set above firm lips prone to mercurial changes of expression, and a faint touch of blonde stubble marks the curve of his chin. <br />
<br />
His skin is tanned from his exposure to the sun and his overall build is slender and lean, showing an inclination to speed rather than strength. He can typically be seen wearing light leathers that give some protection and hinder movement as little as possible. A lance is typically strapped to his back, the tip bladed for slicing as well as piercing. The end of its metallic shaft is rounded for bludgeoning, if needed. The handle of a dagger can be seen protruding from the top of each of his boots.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Due to Val's upbringing and typical way of life, he tends to lack any sort of manners or sense of control over himself. He's well known for saying the first thing that comes to his head without giving it a second thought. This often leads to offending those around him, admittedly most of it is on purpose. He enjoys pushing the boundaries of others around him and watching them try to cope with it. If it bothers them enough to fight him, it's just an added bonus. He is very determined and egotistical, far believing himself to be superior to most of those around him. He generally lets his cockiness and confidence speak for itself, which tends to get allow him to overpower most individuals or scare them off without actually lifting a finger himself.<br />
<br />
He doesn't care for an obscene amount of wealth, just enough money for food, drink, and a place to sleep. Beyond that, he'd rather spend most of his time relaxing outside and enjoying the world around him. While in the past he preferred the company of whatever beautiful woman was around at the time, Val has since settled on one in particular. Thoroughly convinced that what he and his lover share are something special and beyond the realm of what others could possibly have, Val still openly shuns monogamous relationships. He is fiercely loyal to his beloved, which leads to a lot of the aforementioned behavior. His general choice of words, while already colorful to begin with, become especially so when angered. He shouts a great deal of obscenities and threats and intends to make good on them should it not convince the offender to back down. Perhaps the most damning of Val's responses to someone messing with his lover is silence. It almost always means that he has ill intent.<br />
<br />
Val also lacks trust in others. He expects most people, especially nobility, to be using him to further their own goals. Because of this, he rarely lets himself get close to another. It generally isn't an issue since his overall demeanor tends to repel most people. Those that can stand him long enough to gain his trust will find themselves in possession of a very trustworthy and thoroughly loyal ally. While he'll still have the tendency to joke around and "test" his friends, he will be far more willing to shut down that side of him and be far more considerate to those that have shown the ability to deal with his faults and prove him wrong. As far as emotions are concerned, Val tends to keep them to himself. Only those very nearest to him will truly know if he feels any sort of remorse for his actions or the things he does. He believes showing such to be a sign of weakness, and has thus managed to keep most of them under control. Except anger, of course. It's the one he's never quite been able to tame.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
The best thing to say about Val when it comes to combat is that he loves doing it. He is incredibly prideful of his skill and believes that, beyond all else, beating someone in a fight proves that he is better than them. He also believes it solidifies his claim to be a Nunh, and each victory further proves such. Therefore, Val will do what he can to provoke others to a fight. If they back down, he feels that alone proves himself to be the better. Should they beat him, while his pride may be hurt, it instills with him to train harder until he's able to overcome his opponent.<br />
<br />
Val wields a lance in combat, using it both as a piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning weapon. At times Val has the tendency to use it as a bo staff, taking clear advantage of its weighted ends in the process. He spends the majority of his time reading his opponent and goading an opening out of them. When he finds an opening or is able to discern the opponent's general style of fighting, Val will trade out his lance for his daggers and seek to end the battle as quickly as possible. He's been known to be a bit suicidal in this, willing to take a fatal strike if it means finishing off his opponent during dire situations.<br />
<br />
He only fights honorably when he absolutely has to, feeling that "anything goes" in a real fight. Val frowns at the idea of using practice weapons because he feels there's no real danger in it and is prone to turning down any kind of healing. The wounds remind him of the mistakes made in battle. Val feels that it makes him much stronger to let them to heal on their own, allowing him to develop a better pain threshold.<br />
<br />
==Tendencies==<br />
<br />
[[File:ChibiValcolor.png|210px|right|Chibi Val (Courtesy of Lament!)]]<br />
===Likes===<br />
::* Spending time with his lover.<br />
::* When relaxing, he'll often order himself an alcoholic beverage. Anything will do, though he prefers the sweet taste of wine.<br />
::* The sound of gil in his pouch. Not because he covets money, but because he knows he'll be able to eat and rest well that night.<br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
::* White Knights. He actually finds them to be quite pathetic and prefers to simply watch most altercations from afar, if not antagonize them.<br />
::* Val can't stand nobility, or those that descend from it due to their typical demeanor. <br />
::* Anyone moving in on his "territory" (Faye). This almost always results in a fight or an argument.<br />
<br />
===Hobbies/Talents===<br />
::* Val is adept at combat and often seeks it out.<br />
::* He can be particularly suave when he wants to, especially to the ladies that have his interest.<br />
::* He's really good at pissing people off. That's a talent.. right?<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
::* Telling Val that he can't do something is likely the quickest way to get him to try and prove that person wrong.<br />
::* He actually respects relationships and will tend to stay away from those that are in one.<br />
::* He is incredibly vengeful, and will often stop at nothing to get back at those who harmed him or those he holds dear.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
Val is from the Wolf tribe. All there are considered to be family, though most of them quite honestly couldn't stand him. It is assumed that Val's biological family is counted among that group.<br />
<br />
'''Father''' - W'tende<br /><br />
'''Mother''' - W'diah<br /><br />
'''Siblings''' - Unknown, but assumed to be many due to his tribe.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
Val offends many, though he doesn't necessarily seek to make an enemy out of anyone.<br />

==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
At first glance, Val seems to be your typical, unkempt ruffian. He is usually dirty and seems to have a new scar or fresh bruise from day to day. Despite this, the Seeker almost always has a smile or mischievous little grin on his face, juxtaposed by the fine clothing he wears. This is generally kept to shirts, though he has been known to dress nice on rare occasions. Whether this is due to his own decision or thanks to the influence of his wife is anyone's guess. What he does compromise on is usually ruffled up or left untucked, and he seems to enjoy pairing whatever his she puts on him with a pair of kecks and gloves.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tierval.jpg|400px|left|Val Nunh (Courtesy of Tiergan!)]]<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Val is your typical Miqo'te Seeker and stands a tad tall for his race, somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8". Though, this is hard to tell considering his slouched and relaxed posture. Ash blonde hair is brushed haphazardly away from an oval face marked with smooth planes and covers the long, slim ears arching over the Miqo'te's youthful visage. His brows are winged, the inner half of each slanted downward to give him an overall mischievous appearance. They're set over bi-colored eyes of blue and gold, both almond-shaped and with a long, faded scar bisecting the skin both above and below the right pale blue orb. A patrician nose is set above firm lips prone to mercurial changes of expression, and a faint touch of blonde stubble marks the curve of his chin. <br />
<br />
His skin is tanned from his exposure to the sun and his overall build is slender and lean, showing an inclination to speed rather than strength. He can typically be seen wearing light leathers that give some protection and hinder movement as little as possible. A lance is typically strapped to his back, the tip bladed for slicing as well as piercing. The end of its metallic shaft is rounded for bludgeoning, if needed. The handle of a dagger can be seen protruding from the top of each of his boots.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Due to Val's upbringing and typical way of life, he tends to lack any sort of manners or sense of control over himself. He's well known for saying the first thing that comes to his head without giving it a second thought. This often leads to offending those around him, admittedly most of it is on purpose. He enjoys pushing the boundaries of others around him and watching them try to cope with it. If it bothers them enough to fight him, it's just an added bonus. He is very determined and egotistical, far believing himself to be superior to most of those around him. He generally lets his cockiness and confidence speak for itself, which tends to get allow him to overpower most individuals or scare them off without actually lifting a finger himself.<br />
<br />
He doesn't care for an obscene amount of wealth, just enough money for food, drink, and a place to sleep. Beyond that, he'd rather spend most of his time relaxing outside and enjoying the world around him. While in the past he preferred the company of whatever beautiful woman was around at the time, Val has since settled on one in particular. Thoroughly convinced that what he and his lover share are something special and beyond the realm of what others could possibly have, Val still openly shuns monogamous relationships. He is fiercely loyal to his beloved, which leads to a lot of the aforementioned behavior. His general choice of words, while already colorful to begin with, become especially so when angered. He shouts a great deal of obscenities and threats and, if that doesn't seem to make the individual flee, he intends to make good on them. Perhaps the most damning of Val's responses to someone messing with his lover is silence. It almost always means that he has ill intent.<br />
<br />
Val also lacks trust in others. He expects most people, especially nobility, to be using him to further their own goals. Because of this, he rarely lets himself get close to another. It generally isn't an issue since his overall demeanor tends to repel most people. Those that can stand him long enough to gain his trust will find themselves in possession of a very trustworthy and thoroughly loyal ally. While he'll still have the tendency to joke around and "test" his friends, he will be far more willing to shut down that side of him and be far more considerate to those that have shown the ability to deal with his faults and prove him wrong. As far as emotions are concerned, Val tends to keep them to himself. Only those very nearest to him will truly know if he feels any sort of remorse for his actions or the things he does. He believes showing such to be a sign of weakness, and has thus managed to keep most of them under control. Except anger, of course. It's the one he's never quite been able to tame.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
The best thing to say about Val when it comes to combat is that he loves doing it. He is incredibly prideful of his skill and believes that, beyond all else, beating someone in a fight proves that he is better than them. He also believes it solidifies his claim to be a Nunh, and each victory further proves such. Therefore, Val will do what he can to provoke others to a fight. If they back down, he feels that alone proves himself to be the better. Should they beat him, while his pride may be hurt, it instills with him to train harder until he's able to overcome his opponent.<br />
<br />
Val wields a lance in combat, using it both as a piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning weapon. At times Val has the tendency to use it as a bo staff, taking clear advantage of its weighted ends in the process. He spends the majority of his time reading his opponent and goading an opening out of them. When he finds an opening or is able to discern the opponent's general style of fighting, Val will trade out his lance for his daggers and seek to end the battle as quickly as possible. He's been known to be a bit suicidal in this, willing to take a fatal strike if it means finishing off his opponent during dire situations.<br />
<br />
He only fights honorably when he absolutely has to, feeling that "anything goes" in a real fight. Val frowns at the idea of using practice weapons because he feels there's no real danger in it and is prone to turning down any kind of healing. The wounds remind him of the mistakes made in battle. Val feels that it makes him much stronger to let them to heal on their own, allowing him to develop a better pain threshold.<br />
<br />
==Tendencies==<br />
<br />
[[File:ChibiValcolor.png|210px|right|Chibi Val (Courtesy of Lament!)]]<br />
===Likes===<br />
::* Spending time with his lover.<br />
::* When relaxing, he'll often order himself an alcoholic beverage. Anything will do, though he prefers the sweet taste of wine.<br />
::* The sound of gil in his pouch. Not because he covets money, but because he knows he'll be able to eat and rest well that night.<br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
::* White Knights. He actually finds them to be quite pathetic and prefers to simply watch most altercations from afar, if not antagonize them.<br />
::* Val can't stand nobility, or those that descend from it due to their typical demeanor. <br />
::* Anyone moving in on his "territory" (Faye). This almost always results in a fight or an argument.<br />
<br />
===Hobbies/Talents===<br />
::* Val is adept at combat and often seeks it out.<br />
::* He can be particularly suave when he wants to, especially to the ladies that have his interest.<br />
::* He's really good at pissing people off. That's a talent.. right?<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
::* Telling Val that he can't do something is likely the quickest way to get him to try and prove that person wrong.<br />
::* He actually respects relationships and will tend to stay away from those that are in one.<br />
::* He is incredibly vengeful, and will often stop at nothing to get back at those who harmed him or those he holds dear.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
Val is from the Wolf tribe. All there are considered to be family, though most of them quite honestly couldn't stand him. It is assumed that Val's biological family is counted among that group.<br />
<br />
'''Father''' - W'tende<br /><br />
'''Mother''' - W'diah<br /><br />
'''Siblings''' - Unknown, but assumed to be many due to his tribe.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
Val offends many, though he doesn't necessarily seek to make an enemy out of anyone.<br />

[[File:ValandFayev3.png|400px|left|Val and Faye (Courtesy of Minh Pham!)]]<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Faye Covington]]''' - Val was first captivated not only by this ivory-haired Midlander's beauty, but by the challenge that presented itself in her capture. For better or worse the two often butt heads due to their thoroughly conflicting views, though that just serves to keep things interesting enough for Val to stick around. He was originally reluctant with the idea of sticking with one woman, but soon realized it would be the only way to claim her. Now that he's actually with her and she's supplying him with everything he could ask for, it leaves one to wonder exactly who caught who. Val's fondness and respect for the woman grow daily, and with them his fierce loyalty and willingness to do virtually anything she asks of him. Over time, it has managed to change him into a strong and loving companion. While many know that they are engaged, very few know that they've actually eloped and already wed.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Siobhain Surtsthalwyn]]''' - Over time, Val has come to view this honorable and steadfast Hellsguard as a great friend. It didn't quite start that way at first, of course. Originally, he assumed that her naivety would be her ultimate undoing. Through various friendly bouts, however, he has come to respect both the woman and the views that she holds. While he'd never openly admit it, all she need do is ask or come to him with an issue and he'd do what he could to assist her.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Yangh Linh]]''' - When he first met this Keeper, Val assumed that she was just trying to hit on him. She offered a drink and asked him to dance, then his pal Berrod quickly abandoned them. He expressed that he was already with a companion and the woman laughed it off, leaving Val thoroughly confused. Now after getting to know her, Val is incredibly protective of the woman he calls "Priestess". She is strong, not just mentally, but physically as well and has accepted Val as a Disciple of Menphina. The relationship is more motherly than anything, with Yangh doing her best to help Faye and keep the poor Seeker on the right track by constantly reprimanding him for his mistakes. Unbeknownst to many, she's also helping to sharpen his skills with his daggers and teaching him the ways of the assassin.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Berrod Armstrong]]''' - Things did not start off well with Berrod at all. For starters, the Highlander hit on his woman, which immediately put him on Val's list of enemies. They've come to blows several times, each eventually walking away with a victory. In their latest fight, a truce was called to (hopefully) put an end to their rivalry. Truth be told, the two have far more in common than either of them would likely admit. Val knows through their conflict that Berrod is certainly no pushover when it comes to fighting and, because of this, sees Berrod as an invaluable ally to have.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Alexandre Larille]]''' - Val happened upon the unconscious body of this Duskwight shortly after leaving his tribe. Having spent a rather great deal of time alone and not quite used to it, the Seeker stuck around long enough to nurse the Elezen back to health and enjoy the company while he could. For this, Alexandre apparently feels in debt to Val and the two have came to a mutual claim of friendship until such a debt is settled. Neither of them would speak of this, and Val certainly wouldn't admit to having a soft side.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[A’nzil Oenomaus]]''' - Val absolutely hates being burdened with tasks. The only thing he hates more than that is indentured servitude, especially of his own people. This is what brought Val to eventually accept the task of training A'nzil. Truth be told, the Seeker knows little about teaching others aside from how he was taught; with harsh, hands-on experience. He hopes to toughen A'nzil up through a series of battles, feeling that he's been coddled far too much.<br />
<br />
[[File:ValFayeWedding.png|400px|right|Val and Faye's Wedding (Courtesy of Kaoru!)]]<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kah'li Tayuun]]''' - Long before he and Faye were an item, Val hated this Keeper because he seemed to be trying to steal the lady out from under him. He would constantly ridicule Kah'li for being blind which often led to bickering between the two. Over time, the two became friends and even sparring partners, each trading victories. Val has come to respect the man, especially since he respects his relationship with Faye, and would do almost anything should he ever ask.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Dartanon Nobis]]''' - This self-proclaimed knight managed to interfere with Val's retribution on a man that tried to steal Faye from him. While Val was thoroughly hateful towards him at first, the relationship soon turned into something akin to a friendship. At least, until Val found that Dartanon was dating one of the Garleans that had attacked Faye. Since then he's kept the man at arm's length, not because he necessarily doesn't wish to be around him, but because Faye giving the order to exterminate the woman he's with will make cutting him down that much easier should he get in his way.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zularti Vensar]]''' - Val isn't quite sure what to make of this man aside from the fact that he shouldn't really be considered a man at all. He is brash, irrational, and thoroughly childlike. Why Faye follows him or entertains the idea of him being any sort of leader he'll never know, but he has decided to suffer through it in order to keep her happy.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Unknown Keeper of the Moon]]''' - There is little that Val knows about this dark skinned, dark haired Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon. What he does know is that she has the ability to assume the form of nearly anyone. She barged into his home shortly after Faye had been kidnapped and offered only to give her location and a cure for the poison currently afflicting him in exchange for his aether. When she left, Val was broken. He is now deathly afraid of her particular kind of Voidsent, as well as wary of any women that get near him in case they happen to be her returning for more.<br />

His skin is tanned from his exposure to the sun and his overall build is slender and lean, showing an inclination to speed rather than strength. He can typically be seen wearing light leathers that give some protection and hinder movement as little as possible. A lance is typically strapped to his back, the tip bladed for slicing as well as piercing. The end of its metallic shaft is rounded for bludgeoning, if needed. The handle of a dagger can be seen protruding from the top of each of his boots.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Due to Val's upbringing and typical way of life, he tends to lack any sort of manners or sense of control over himself. He's well known for saying the first thing that comes to his head without giving it a second thought. This often leads to offending those around him, admittedly most of it is on purpose. He enjoys pushing the boundaries of others around him and watching them try to cope with it. If it bothers them enough to fight him, it's just an added bonus. He is very determined and egotistical, far believing himself to be superior to most of those around him. He generally lets his cockiness and confidence speak for itself, which tends to get allow him to overpower most individuals or scare them off without actually lifting a finger himself.<br />
<br />
He doesn't care for an obscene amount of wealth, just enough money for food, drink, and a place to sleep. Beyond that, he'd rather spend most of his time relaxing outside and enjoying the world around him. While in the past he preferred the company of whatever beautiful woman was around at the time, Val has since settled on one in particular. Thoroughly convinced that what he and his lover share are something special and beyond the realm of what others could possibly have, Val still openly shuns monogamous relationships. He is fiercely loyal to his beloved, which leads to a lot of the aforementioned behavior. His general choice of words, while already colorful to begin with, become especially so when angered. He shouts a great deal of obscenities and threats and, if that doesn't seem to make the individual flee, he intends to make good on them. Perhaps the most damning of Val's responses to someone messing with his lover is silence. It almost always means that he has ill intent.<br />
<br />
Val also lacks trust in others. He expects most people, especially nobility, to be using him to further their own goals. Because of this, he rarely lets himself get close to another. It generally isn't an issue since his overall demeanor tends to repel most people. Those that can stand him long enough to gain his trust will find themselves in possession of a very trustworthy and thoroughly loyal ally. While he'll still have the tendency to joke around and "test" his friends, he will be far more willing to shut down that side of him and be far more considerate to those that have shown the ability to deal with his faults and prove him wrong. As far as emotions are concerned, Val tends to keep them to himself. Only those very nearest to him will truly know if he feels any sort of remorse for his actions or the things he does. He believes showing such to be a sign of weakness, and has thus managed to keep most of them under control. Except anger, of course. It's the one he's never quite been able to tame.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
The best thing to say about Val when it comes to combat is that he loves doing it. He is incredibly prideful of his skill and believes that, beyond all else, beating someone in a fight proves that he is better than them. He also believes it solidifies his claim to be a Nunh, and each victory further proves such. Therefore, Val will do what he can to provoke others to a fight. If they back down, he feels that alone proves himself to be the better. Should they beat him, while his pride may be hurt, it instills with him to train harder until he's able to overcome his opponent.<br />
<br />
Val wields a lance in combat, using it both as a piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning weapon. At times Val has the tendency to use it as a bo staff, taking clear advantage of its weighted ends in the process. He spends the majority of his time reading his opponent and goading an opening out of them. When he finds an opening or is able to discern the opponent's general style of fighting, Val will trade out his lance for his daggers and seek to end the battle as quickly as possible. He's been known to be a bit suicidal in this, willing to take a fatal strike if it means finishing off his opponent during dire situations.<br />
<br />
He only fights honorably when he absolutely has to, feeling that "anything goes" in a real fight. Val frowns at the idea of using practice weapons because he feels there's no real danger in it and is prone to turning down any kind of healing. The wounds remind him of the mistakes made in battle. Val feels that it makes him much stronger to let them to heal on their own, allowing him to develop a better pain threshold.<br />

[[File:ValandFayev3.png|400px|left|Val and Faye (Courtesy of Minh Pham!)]]<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Faye Covington]]''' - Val was first captivated not only by this ivory-haired Midlander's beauty, but by the challenge that presented itself in her capture. For better or worse the two often butt heads due to their thoroughly conflicting views, though that just serves to keep things interesting enough for Val to stick around. He was originally reluctant with the idea of sticking with one woman, but soon realized it would be the only way to claim her. Now that he's actually with her and she's supplying him with everything he could ask for, it leaves one to wonder exactly who caught who. Val's fondness and respect for the woman grow daily, and with them his fierce loyalty and willingness to do virtually anything she asks of him. Over time, it has managed to change him into a strong and loving companion. While many know that they are engaged, very few know that they've actually eloped and already wed.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Siobhain Surtsthalwyn]]''' - Over time, Val has come to view this honorable and steadfast Hellsguard as a great friend. It didn't quite start that way at first, of course. Originally, he assumed that her naivety would be her ultimate undoing. Through various friendly bouts, however, he has come to respect both the woman and the views that she holds. While he'd never openly admit it, all she need do is ask or come to him with an issue and he'd do what he could to assist her.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Yangh Linh]]''' - When he first met this Keeper, Val assumed that she was just trying to hit on him. She offered a drink and asked him to dance, then his pal Berrod quickly abandoned them. He expressed that he was already with a companion and the woman laughed it off, leaving Val thoroughly confused. Now after getting to know her, Val is incredibly protective of the woman he calls "Priestess". She is strong, not just mentally, but physically as well and has accepted Val as a Disciple of Menphina. The relationship is more motherly than anything, with Yangh doing her best to help Faye and keep the poor Seeker on the right track by constantly reprimanding him for his mistakes. Unbeknownst to many, she's also helping to sharpen his skills with his daggers and teaching him the ways of the assassin.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Berrod Armstrong]]''' - Things did not start off well with Berrod at all. For starters, the Highlander hit on his woman, which immediately put him on Val's list of enemies. They've come to blows several times, each eventually walking away with a victory. In their latest fight, a truce was called to (hopefully) put an end to their rivalry. Truth be told, the two have far more in common than either of them would likely admit. Val knows through their conflict that Berrod is certainly no pushover when it comes to fighting and, because of this, sees Berrod as an invaluable ally to have.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Alexandre Larille]]''' - Val happened upon the unconscious body of this Duskwight shortly after leaving his tribe. Having spent a rather great deal of time alone and not quite used to it, the Seeker stuck around long enough to nurse the Elezen back to health and enjoy the company while he could. For this, Alexandre apparently feels in debt to Val and the two have came to a mutual claim of friendship until such a debt is settled. Neither of them would speak of this, and Val certainly wouldn't admit to having a soft side.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[A’nzil Oenomaus]]''' - Val absolutely hates being burdened with tasks. The only thing he hates more than that is indentured servitude, especially of his own people. This is what brought Val to eventually accept the task of training A'nzil. Truth be told, the Seeker knows little about teaching others aside from how he was taught; with harsh, hands-on experience. He hopes to toughen A'nzil up through a series of battles, feeling that he's been coddled far too much.<br />
<br />
[[File:ValFayeWedding.png|400px|right|Val and Faye's Wedding (Courtesy of Kaoru!)]]<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kah'li Tayuun]]''' - Long before he and Faye were an item, Val hated this Keeper because he seemed to be trying to steal the lady out from under him. He would constantly ridicule Kah'li for being blind which often led to bickering between the two. Over time, the two became friends and even sparring partners, each trading victories. Val has come to respect the man, especially since he respects his relationship with Faye, and would do almost anything should he ever ask.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Dartanon Nobis]]''' - This self-proclaimed knight managed to interfere with Val's retribution on a man that tried to steal Faye from him. While Val was thoroughly hateful towards him at first, the relationship soon turned into something akin to a friendship. At least, until Val found that Dartanon was dating one of the Garleans that had attacked Faye. Since then he's kept the man at arm's length, not because he necessarily doesn't wish to be around him, but because Faye giving the order to exterminate the woman he's with will make cutting him down that much easier should he get in his way.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zularti Vensar]]''' - Val isn't quite sure what to make of this man aside from the fact that he shouldn't really be considered a man at all. He is brash, irrational, and thoroughly childlike. Why Faye follows him or entertains the idea of him being any sort of leader he'll never know, but he has decided to suffer through it in order to keep her happy.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Unknown Keeper of the Moon]]''' - There is little that Val knows about this dark skinned, dark haired Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon. What he does know is that she has the ability to assume the form of nearly anyone. She barged into his home shortly after Faye had been kidnapped and offered only to give her location and a cure for the poison currently afflicting him in exchange for his aether. When she left, Val was broken. He is now deathly afraid of her particular kind of Voidsent, as well as wary of any women that get near him in case they happen to be her returning for more.<br />

==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
At first glance, Val seems to be your typical, unkempt ruffian. He is usually dirty and seems to have a new scar or fresh bruise from day to day. Despite this, the Seeker almost always has a smile or mischievous little grin on his face, juxtaposed by the fine clothing he wears. This is generally kept to shirts, though he has been known to dress nice on rare occasions. Whether this is due to his own decision or thanks to the influence of his wife is anyone's guess. What he does compromise on is usually ruffled up or left untucked, and he seems to enjoy pairing whatever his she puts on him with a pair of kecks and gloves.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tierval.jpg|400px|left|Val Nunh (Courtesy of Tiergan!)]]<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Val is your typical Miqo'te Seeker and stands a tad tall for his race, somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8". Though, this is hard to tell considering his slouched and relaxed posture. Ash blonde hair is brushed haphazardly away from an oval face marked with smooth planes and covers the long, slim ears arching over the Miqo'te's youthful visage. His brows are winged, the inner half of each slanted downward to give him an overall mischievous appearance. They're set over bi-colored eyes of blue and gold, both almond-shaped and with a long, faded scar bisecting the skin both above and below the right pale blue orb. A patrician nose is set above firm lips prone to mercurial changes of expression, and a faint touch of blonde stubble marks the curve of his chin. <br />
<br />
His skin is tanned from his exposure to the sun and his overall build is slender and lean, showing an inclination to speed rather than strength. He can typically be seen wearing light leathers that give some protection and hinder movement as little as possible. A lance is typically strapped to his back, the tip bladed for slicing as well as piercing. The end of its metallic shaft is rounded for bludgeoning, if needed. The handle of a dagger can be seen protruding from the top of each of his boots.<br />
<br />

He's well known for saying the first thing that comes to his head without giving it a second thought. This often leads to offending those around him, admittedly most of it is on purpose.

He was originally reluctant with the idea of sticking with one woman, but soon realized it would be the only way to claim her. Now that he's actually with her and she's supplying him with everything he could ask for, it leaves one to wonder exactly who caught who. Val's fondness and respect for the woman grow daily, and with them his fierce loyalty and willingness to do virtually anything she asks of him. Over time, it has managed to change him into a strong and loving companion. While many know that they are engaged, very few know that they've actually eloped and already wed.<br />

It didn't quite start that way at first, of course. Originally, he assumed that her naivety would be her ultimate undoing. Through various friendly bouts, however, he has come to respect both the woman and the views that she holds. While he'd never openly admit it, all she need do is ask or come to him with an issue and he'd do what he could to assist her.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Yangh Linh]]''' - When he first met this Keeper, Val assumed that she was just trying to hit on him. She offered a drink and asked him to dance, then his pal Berrod quickly abandoned them. He expressed that he was already with a companion and the woman laughed it off, leaving Val thoroughly confused. Now after getting to know her, Val is incredibly protective of the woman he calls "Priestess". She is strong, not just mentally, but physically as well and has accepted Val as a Disciple of Menphina. The relationship is more motherly than anything, with Yangh doing her best to help Faye and keep the poor Seeker on the right track by constantly reprimanding him for his mistakes. Unbeknownst to many, she's also helping to sharpen his skills with his daggers and teaching him the ways of the assassin.<br />

For starters, the Highlander hit on his woman, which immediately put him on Val's list of enemies. They've come to blows several times, each eventually walking away with a victory. In their latest fight, a truce was called to (hopefully) put an end to their rivalry. Truth be told, the two have far more in common than either of them would likely admit. Val knows through their conflict that Berrod is certainly no pushover when it comes to fighting and, because of this, sees Berrod as an invaluable ally to have.<br />

Having spent a rather great deal of time alone and not quite used to it, the Seeker stuck around long enough to nurse the Elezen back to health and enjoy the company while he could. For this, Alexandre apparently feels in debt to Val and the two have came to a mutual claim of friendship until such a debt is settled. Neither of them would speak of this, and Val certainly wouldn't admit to having a soft side.<br />

He hopes to toughen A'nzil up through a series of battles, feeling that he's been coddled far too much.<br />

He would constantly ridicule Kah'li for being blind which often led to bickering between the two. Over time, the two became friends and even sparring partners, each trading victories. Val has come to respect the man, especially since he respects his relationship with Faye, and would do almost anything should he ever ask.<br />

At least, until Val found that Dartanon was dating one of the Garleans that had attacked Faye. Since then he's kept the man at arm's length, not because he necessarily doesn't wish to be around him, but because Faye giving the order to exterminate the woman he's with will make cutting him down that much easier should he get in his way.<br />

==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
At first glance, Val seems to be your typical, unkempt ruffian. He is usually dirty and seems to have a new scar or fresh bruise from day to day. Despite this, the Seeker almost always has a smile or mischievous little grin on his face, juxtaposed by the fine clothing he wears. This is generally kept to shirts, though he has been known to dress nice on rare occasions. Whether this is due to his own decision or thanks to the influence of his wife is anyone's guess. What he does compromise on is usually ruffled up or left untucked, and he seems to enjoy pairing whatever his she puts on him with a pair of kecks and gloves.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tierval.jpg|400px|left|Val Nunh (Courtesy of Tiergan!)]]<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Val is your typical Miqo'te Seeker and stands a tad tall for his race, somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8". Though, this is hard to tell considering his slouched and relaxed posture. Ash blonde hair is brushed haphazardly away from an oval face marked with smooth planes and covers the long, slim ears arching over the Miqo'te's youthful visage. His brows are winged, the inner half of each slanted downward to give him an overall mischievous appearance. They're set over bi-colored eyes of blue and gold, both almond-shaped and with a long, faded scar bisecting the skin both above and below the right pale blue orb. A patrician nose is set above firm lips prone to mercurial changes of expression, and a faint touch of blonde stubble marks the curve of his chin. <br />
<br />
His skin is tanned from his exposure to the sun and his overall build is slender and lean, showing an inclination to speed rather than strength. He can typically be seen wearing light leathers that give some protection and hinder movement as little as possible. A lance is typically strapped to his back, the tip bladed for slicing as well as piercing. The end of its metallic shaft is rounded for bludgeoning, if needed. The handle of a dagger can be seen protruding from the top of each of his boots.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Due to Val's upbringing and typical way of life, he tends to lack any sort of manners or sense of control over himself. He's well known for saying the first thing that comes to his head without giving it a second thought. This often leads to offending those around him, admittedly most of it is on purpose. He enjoys pushing the boundaries of others around him and watching them try to cope with it. If it bothers them enough to fight him, it's just an added bonus. He is very determined and egotistical, far believing himself to be superior to most of those around him. He generally lets his cockiness and confidence speak for itself, which tends to get allow him to overpower most individuals or scare them off without actually lifting a finger himself.<br />
<br />
He doesn't care for an obscene amount of wealth, just enough money for food, drink, and a place to sleep. Beyond that, he'd rather spend most of his time relaxing outside and enjoying the world around him. While in the past he preferred the company of whatever beautiful woman was around at the time, Val has since settled on one in particular. Thoroughly convinced that what he and his lover share are something special and beyond the realm of what others could possibly have, Val still openly shuns monogamous relationships. He is fiercely loyal to his beloved, which leads to a lot of the aforementioned behavior. His general choice of words, while already colorful to begin with, become especially so when angered. He shouts a great deal of obscenities and threats and, if that doesn't seem to make the individual flee, he intends to make good on them. Perhaps the most damning of Val's responses to someone messing with his lover is silence. It almost always means that he has ill intent.<br />
<br />
Val also lacks trust in others. He expects most people, especially nobility, to be using him to further their own goals. Because of this, he rarely lets himself get close to another. It generally isn't an issue since his overall demeanor tends to repel most people. Those that can stand him long enough to gain his trust will find themselves in possession of a very trustworthy and thoroughly loyal ally. While he'll still have the tendency to joke around and "test" his friends, he will be far more willing to shut down that side of him and be far more considerate to those that have shown the ability to deal with his faults and prove him wrong. As far as emotions are concerned, Val tends to keep them to himself. Only those very nearest to him will truly know if he feels any sort of remorse for his actions or the things he does. He believes showing such to be a sign of weakness, and has thus managed to keep most of them under control. Except anger, of course. It's the one he's never quite been able to tame.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
The best thing to say about Val when it comes to combat is that he loves doing it. He is incredibly prideful of his skill and believes that, beyond all else, beating someone in a fight proves that he is better than them. He also believes it solidifies his claim to be a Nunh, and each victory further proves such. Therefore, Val will do what he can to provoke others to a fight. If they back down, he feels that alone proves himself to be the better. Should they beat him, while his pride may be hurt, it instills with him to train harder until he's able to overcome his opponent.<br />
<br />
Val wields a lance in combat, using it both as a piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning weapon. At times Val has the tendency to use it as a bo staff, taking clear advantage of its weighted ends in the process. He spends the majority of his time reading his opponent and goading an opening out of them. When he finds an opening or is able to discern the opponent's general style of fighting, Val will trade out his lance for his daggers and seek to end the battle as quickly as possible. He's been known to be a bit suicidal in this, willing to take a fatal strike if it means finishing off his opponent during dire situations.<br />
<br />
He only fights honorably when he absolutely has to, feeling that "anything goes" in a real fight. Val frowns at the idea of using practice weapons because he feels there's no real danger in it and is prone to turning down any kind of healing. The wounds remind him of the mistakes made in battle. Val feels that it makes him much stronger to let them to heal on their own, allowing him to develop a better pain threshold.<br />
<br />
==Tendencies==<br />
<br />
[[File:ChibiValcolor.png|210px|right|Chibi Val (Courtesy of Lament!)]]<br />
===Likes===<br />
::* He enjoys being surrounded by beautiful women, especially his own.<br />
::* When relaxing, he'll often order himself an alcoholic beverage. Anything will do, though he prefers the sweet taste of wine.<br />
::* The sound of gil in his pouch. Not because he covets money, but because he knows he'll be able to eat and rest well that night.<br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
::* White Knights. He actually finds them to be quite pathetic and prefers to simply watch most altercations from afar, if not antagonize them.<br />
::* Val can't stand nobility, or those that descend from it due to their typical demeanor. <br />
::* Anyone moving in on his "territory" (women). This almost always results in a fight or an argument.<br />
<br />
===Hobbies/Talents===<br />
::* Val is adept at combat and often seeks it out.<br />
::* He can be particularly suave when he wants to, especially to the ladies that have his interest.<br />
::* He's really good at pissing people off. That's a talent.. right?<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
::* Telling Val that he can't do something is likely the quickest way to get him to try and prove that person wrong.<br />
::* He actually respects relationships and will tend to stay away from those that are in one.<br />
::* He is incredibly vengeful, and will often stop at nothing to get back at those who harmed him or those he holds dear.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
Val is from the Wolf tribe. All there are considered to be family, though most of them quite honestly couldn't stand him. It is assumed that Val's biological family is counted among that group.<br />
<br />
'''Father''' - W'tende<br /><br />
'''Mother''' - W'diah<br /><br />
'''Siblings''' - Unknown, but assumed to be many due to his tribe.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
Val offends many, though he doesn't necessarily seek to make an enemy out of anyone.<br />

==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
At first glance, Val seems to be your typical, unkempt ruffian. He is usually dirty and seems to have a new scar or fresh bruise from day to day. Despite this, the Seeker almost always has a smile or mischievous little grin on his face, juxtaposed by the fine clothing he wears. This is generally kept to shirts, though he has been known to dress nice on rare occasions. Whether this is due to his own decision or thanks to the influence of his wife is anyone's guess. What he does compromise on is usually ruffled up or left untucked, and he seems to enjoy pairing whatever his she puts on him with a pair of kecks and gloves.<br />
<br />
[[File:Tierval.jpg|400px|left|Val Nunh (Courtesy of Tiergan!)]]<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
<br />
Val is your typical Miqo'te Seeker and stands a tad tall for his race, somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8". Though, this is hard to tell considering his slouched and relaxed posture. Ash blonde hair is brushed haphazardly away from an oval face marked with smooth planes and covers the long, slim ears arching over the Miqo'te's youthful visage. His brows are winged, the inner half of each slanted downward to give him an overall mischievous appearance. They're set over bi-colored eyes of blue and gold, both almond-shaped and with a long, faded scar bisecting the skin both above and below the right pale blue orb. A patrician nose is set above firm lips prone to mercurial changes of expression, and a faint touch of blonde stubble marks the curve of his chin. <br />
<br />
His skin is tanned from his exposure to the sun and his overall build is slender and lean, showing an inclination to speed rather than strength. He can typically be seen wearing light leathers that give some protection and hinder movement as little as possible. A lance is typically strapped to his back, the tip bladed for slicing as well as piercing. The end of its metallic shaft is rounded for bludgeoning, if needed. The handle of a dagger can be seen protruding from the top of each of his boots.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Due to Val's upbringing and typical way of life, he tends to lack any sort of manners or sense of control over himself. He's well known for saying the first thing that comes to his head without giving it a second thought. This often leads to offending those around him, admittedly most of it is on purpose. He enjoys pushing the boundaries of others around him and watching them try to cope with it. If it bothers them enough to fight him, it's just an added bonus. He is very determined and egotistical, far believing himself to be superior to most of those around him. He generally lets his cockiness and confidence speak for itself, which tends to get allow him to overpower most individuals or scare them off without actually lifting a finger himself.<br />
<br />
He doesn't care for an obscene amount of wealth, just enough money for food, drink, and a place to sleep. Beyond that, he'd rather spend most of his time relaxing outside and enjoying the world around him. If he has a beautiful lady at his side? Even better! Companionship is certainly not required, nor does he desire to stay with any one lady in particular. He finds the notion of sticking with one woman when there are "so many flavors" to try to be absolutely absurd and ignorant to the point that he often laughs at those in monogamous relationships. Despite this, he gets particularly angry if someone moves in on a woman that he's especially fond of. This tends to lead to a lot of the aforementioned behavior. Though his general choice of words is colorful to say the least, when angered it becomes especially so. He shouts a great deal of obscenities and threats. If that doesn't work to make the other back off, he has full intent on making good on the given threats.<br />
<br />
On top of all of this, Val also lacks trust in others. He expects most people, especially nobility, to be using him to further their own goals. Because of this, he rarely lets himself get close to another. It generally isn't an issue since his overall demeanor tends to repel most people. Those that can stand him long enough to gain his trust will find themselves in possession of a very trustworthy and thoroughly loyal ally. While he'll still have the tendency to joke around and "test" his friends, he will be far more willing to shut down that side of him and be far more considerate to those that have shown the ability to deal with his faults and prove him wrong. As far as emotions are concerned, Val tends to keep them to himself. Only those very nearest to him will truly know if he feels any sort of remorse for his actions or the things he does. He believes showing such to be a sign of weakness, and has thus managed to keep most of them under control. Except anger, of course. It's the one he's never quite been able to tame.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
The best thing to say about Val when it comes to combat is that he loves doing it. He is incredibly prideful of his skill and believes that, beyond all else, beating someone in a fight proves that he is better than them. He also believes it solidifies his claim to be a Nunh, and each victory further proves such. Therefore, Val will do what he can to provoke others to a fight. If they back down, he feels that alone proves himself to be the better. Should they beat him, while his pride may be hurt, it instills with him to train harder until he's able to overcome his opponent.<br />
<br />
Val wields a lance in combat, using it both as a piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning weapon. At times Val has the tendency to use it as a bo staff, taking clear advantage of its weighted ends in the process. He spends the majority of his time reading his opponent and goading an opening out of them. When he finds an opening or is able to discern the opponent's general style of fighting, Val will trade out his lance for his daggers and seek to end the battle as quickly as possible. He's been known to be a bit suicidal in this, willing to take a fatal strike if it means finishing off his opponent during dire situations.<br />
<br />
He only fights honorably when he absolutely has to, feeling that "anything goes" in a real fight. Val frowns at the idea of using practice weapons because he feels there's no real danger in it and is prone to turning down any kind of healing. The wounds remind him of the mistakes made in battle. Val feels that it makes him much stronger to let them to heal on their own, allowing him to develop a better pain threshold.<br />
<br />
==Tendencies==<br />
<br />
[[File:ChibiValcolor.png|210px|right|Chibi Val (Courtesy of Lament!)]]<br />
===Likes===<br />
::* He enjoys being surrounded by beautiful women, especially his own.<br />
::* When relaxing, he'll often order himself an alcoholic beverage. Anything will do, though he prefers the sweet taste of wine.<br />
::* The sound of gil in his pouch. Not because he covets money, but because he knows he'll be able to eat and rest well that night.<br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
::* White Knights. He actually finds them to be quite pathetic and prefers to simply watch most altercations from afar, if not antagonize them.<br />
::* Val can't stand nobility, or those that descend from it due to their typical demeanor. <br />
::* Anyone moving in on his "territory" (women). This almost always results in a fight or an argument.<br />
<br />
===Hobbies/Talents===<br />
::* Val is adept at combat and often seeks it out.<br />
::* He can be particularly suave when he wants to, especially to the ladies that have his interest.<br />
::* He's really good at pissing people off. That's a talent.. right?<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
::* Telling Val that he can't do something is likely the quickest way to get him to try and prove that person wrong.<br />
::* He actually respects relationships and will tend to stay away from those that are in one.<br />
::* He is incredibly vengeful, and will often stop at nothing to get back at those who harmed him or those he holds dear.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
Val is from the Wolf tribe. All there are considered to be family, though most of them quite honestly couldn't stand him. It is assumed that Val's biological family is counted among that group.<br />
<br />
'''Father''' - W'tende<br /><br />
'''Mother''' - W'diah<br /><br />
'''Siblings''' - Unknown, but assumed to be many due to his tribe.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
Val offends many, though he doesn't necessarily seek to make an enemy out of anyone.<br />

[[File:ValandFayev3.png|400px|left|Val and Faye (Courtesy of Minh Pham!)]]<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Faye Covington]]''' - Val was first captivated not only by this ivory-haired Midlander's beauty, but by the challenge that presented itself in her capture. For better or worse the two often butt heads due to their thoroughly conflicting views, though that just serves to keep things interesting enough for Val to stick around. He was originally reluctant with the idea of sticking with one woman, but soon realized it would be the only way to claim her. Now that he's actually with her and she's supplying him with everything he could ask for, it leaves one to wonder exactly who caught who. Val's fondness and respect for the woman grow daily, and with them his fierce loyalty and willingness to do virtually anything she asks of him. Over time, it has managed to change him into a strong and loving companion. While many know that they are engaged, very few know that they've actually eloped and already wed.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Siobhain Surtsthalwyn]]''' - Over time, Val has come to view this honorable and steadfast Hellsguard as a great friend. It didn't quite start that way at first, of course. Originally, he assumed that her naivety would be her ultimate undoing. Through various friendly bouts, however, he has come to respect both the woman and the views that she holds. While he'd never openly admit it, all she need do is ask or come to him with an issue and he'd do what he could to assist her.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Yangh Linh]]''' - When he first met this Keeper, Val assumed that she was just trying to hit on him. She offered a drink and asked him to dance, then his pal Berrod quickly abandoned them. He expressed that he was already with a companion and the woman laughed it off, leaving Val thoroughly confused. Now after getting to know her, Val is incredibly protective of the woman he calls "Priestess". She is strong, not just mentally, but physically as well and has accepted Val as a Disciple of Menphina. The relationship is more motherly than anything, with Yangh doing her best to help Faye and keep the poor Seeker on the right track by constantly reprimanding him for his mistakes. Unbeknownst to many, she's also helping to sharpen his skills with his daggers and teaching him the ways of the assassin.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Berrod Armstrong]]''' - Things did not start off well with Berrod at all. For starters, the Highlander hit on his woman, which immediately put him on Val's list of enemies. They've come to blows several times, each eventually walking away with a victory. In their latest fight, a truce was called to (hopefully) put an end to their rivalry. Truth be told, the two have far more in common than either of them would likely admit. Val knows through their conflict that Berrod is certainly no pushover when it comes to fighting and, because of this, sees Berrod as an invaluable ally to have.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Alexandre Larille]]''' - Val happened upon the unconscious body of this Duskwight shortly after leaving his tribe. Having spent a rather great deal of time alone and not quite used to it, the Seeker stuck around long enough to nurse the Elezen back to health and enjoy the company while he could. For this, Alexandre apparently feels in debt to Val and the two have came to a mutual claim of friendship until such a debt is settled. Neither of them would speak of this, and Val certainly wouldn't admit to having a soft side.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[A’nzil Oenomaus]]''' - Val absolutely hates being burdened with tasks. The only thing he hates more than that is indentured servitude, especially of his own people. This is what brought Val to eventually accept the task of training A'nzil. Truth be told, the Seeker knows little about teaching others aside from how he was taught; with harsh, hands-on experience. He hopes to toughen A'nzil up through a series of battles, feeling that he's been coddled far too much.<br />
<br />
[[File:ValFayeWedding.png|400px|right|Val and Faye's Wedding (Courtesy of Kaoru!)]]<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kah'li Tayuun]]''' - Long before he and Faye were an item, Val hated this Keeper because he seemed to be trying to steal the lady out from under him. He would constantly ridicule Kah'li for being blind which often led to bickering between the two. Over time, the two became friends and even sparring partners, each trading victories. Val has come to respect the man, especially since he respects his relationship with Faye, and would do almost anything should he ever ask.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Dartanon Nobis]]''' - This self-proclaimed knight managed to interfere with Val's retribution on a man that tried to steal Faye from him. While Val was thoroughly hateful towards him at first, the relationship soon turned into something akin to a friendship. At least, until Val found that Dartanon was dating one of the Garleans that had attacked Faye. Since then he's kept the man at arm's length, not because he necessarily doesn't wish to be around him, but because Faye giving the order to exterminate the woman he's with will make cutting him down that much easier should he get in his way.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zularti Vensar]]''' - Val isn't quite sure what to make of this man aside from the fact that he shouldn't really be considered a man at all. He is brash, irrational, and thoroughly childlike. Why Faye follows him or entertains the idea of him being any sort of leader he'll never know, but he has decided to suffer through it in order to keep her happy.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Unknown Keeper of the Moon]]''' - There is little that Val knows about this dark skinned, dark haired Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon. What he does know is that she has the ability to assume the form of nearly anyone. She barged into his home shortly after Faye had been kidnapped and offered only to give her location and a cure for the poison currently afflicting him in exchange for his aether. When she left, Val was broken. He is now deathly afraid of her particular kind of Voidsent, as well as wary of any women that get near him in case they happen to be her returning for more.<br />
<br />

While he'll still have the tendency to joke around and "test" his friends, he will be far more willing to shut down that side of him and be far more considerate to those that have shown the ability to deal with his faults and prove him wrong. As far as emotions are concerned, Val tends to keep them to himself. Only those very nearest to him will truly know if he feels any sort of remorse for his actions or the things he does. He believes showing such to be a sign of weakness, and has thus managed to keep most of them under control. Except anger, of course. It's the one he's never quite been able to tame.<br />
<br />
==Combat==<br />
===General===<br />
The best thing to say about Val when it comes to combat is that he loves doing it. He is incredibly prideful of his skill and believes that, beyond all else, beating someone in a fight proves that he is better than them. He also believes it solidifies his claim to be a Nunh, and each victory further proves such. Therefore, Val will do what he can to provoke others to a fight. If they back down, he feels that alone proves himself to be the better. Should they beat him, while his pride may be hurt, it instills with him to train harder until he's able to overcome his opponent.<br />
<br />
Val wields a lance in combat, using it both as a piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning weapon. At times Val has the tendency to use it as a bo staff, taking clear advantage of its weighted ends in the process. He spends the majority of his time reading his opponent and goading an opening out of them. When he finds an opening or is able to discern the opponent's general style of fighting, Val will trade out his lance for his daggers and seek to end the battle as quickly as possible. He's been known to be a bit suicidal in this, willing to take a fatal strike if it means finishing off his opponent during dire situations.<br />
<br />
He only fights honorably when he absolutely has to, feeling that "anything goes" in a real fight. Val frowns at the idea of using practice weapons because he feels there's no real danger in it and is prone to turning down any kind of healing. The wounds remind him of the mistakes made in battle. Val feels that it makes him much stronger to let them to heal on their own, allowing him to develop a better pain threshold.<br />
<br />
==Tendencies==<br />
<br />
[[File:ChibiValcolor.png|210px|right|Chibi Val (Courtesy of Lament!)]]<br />
===Likes===<br />
::* He enjoys being surrounded by beautiful women, especially his own.<br />
::* When relaxing, he'll often order himself an alcoholic beverage. Anything will do, though he prefers the sweet taste of wine.<br />
::* The sound of gil in his pouch. Not because he covets money, but because he knows he'll be able to eat and rest well that night.<br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
::* White Knights. He actually finds them to be quite pathetic and prefers to simply watch most altercations from afar, if not antagonize them.<br />
::* Val can't stand nobility, or those that descend from it due to their typical demeanor. <br />
::* Anyone moving in on his "territory" (women). This almost always results in a fight or an argument.<br />
<br />
===Hobbies/Talents===<br />
::* Val is adept at combat and often seeks it out.<br />
::* He can be particularly suave when he wants to, especially to the ladies that have his interest.<br />
::* He's really good at pissing people off. That's a talent.. right?<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
::* Telling Val that he can't do something is likely the quickest way to get him to try and prove that person wrong.<br />
::* He actually respects relationships and will tend to stay away from those that are in one.<br />
::* He is incredibly vengeful, and will often stop at nothing to get back at those who harmed him or those he holds dear.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
Val is from the Wolf tribe. All there are considered to be family, though most of them quite honestly couldn't stand him. It is assumed that Val's biological family is counted among that group.<br />
<br />
'''Father''' - W'tende<br /><br />
'''Mother''' - W'diah<br /><br />
'''Siblings''' - Unknown, but assumed to be many due to his tribe.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
<br />
Val offends many, though he doesn't necessarily seek to make an enemy out of anyone.<br />

<br />
[[File:ValandFayev3.png|400px|left|Val and Faye (Courtesy of Minh Pham!)]]<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Faye Covington]]''' - Val was first captivated not only by this ivory-haired Midlander's beauty, but by the challenge that presented itself in her capture. For better or worse the two often butt heads due to their thoroughly conflicting views, though that just serves to keep things interesting enough for Val to stick around. He was originally reluctant with the idea of sticking with one woman, but soon realized it would be the only way to claim her. Now that he's actually with her and she's supplying him with everything he could ask for, it leaves one to wonder exactly who caught who. Val's fondness and respect for the woman grow daily, and with them his fierce loyalty and willingness to do virtually anything she asks of him. Over time, it has managed to change him into a strong and loving companion. While many know that they are engaged, very few know that they've actually eloped and already wed.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Siobhain Surtsthalwyn]]''' - Over time, Val has come to view this honorable and steadfast Hellsguard as a great friend. It didn't quite start that way at first, of course. Originally, he assumed that her naivety would be her ultimate undoing. Through various friendly bouts, however, he has come to respect both the woman and the views that she holds. While he'd never openly admit it, all she need do is ask or come to him with an issue and he'd do what he could to assist her.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Yangh Linh]]''' - When he first met this Keeper, Val assumed that she was just trying to hit on him. She offered a drink and asked him to dance, then his pal Berrod quickly abandoned them. He expressed that he was already with a companion and the woman laughed it off, leaving Val thoroughly confused. Now after getting to know her, Val is incredibly protective of the woman he calls "Priestess". She is strong, not just mentally, but physically as well and has accepted Val as a Disciple of Menphina. The relationship is more motherly than anything, with Yangh doing her best to help Faye and keep the poor Seeker on the right track by constantly reprimanding him for his mistakes. Unbeknownst to many, she's also helping to sharpen his skills with his daggers and teaching him the ways of the assassin.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Berrod Armstrong]]''' - Things did not start off well with Berrod at all. For starters, the Highlander hit on his woman, which immediately put him on Val's list of enemies. They've come to blows several times, each eventually walking away with a victory. In their latest fight, a truce was called to (hopefully) put an end to their rivalry. Truth be told, the two have far more in common than either of them would likely admit. Val knows through their conflict that Berrod is certainly no pushover when it comes to fighting and, because of this, sees Berrod as an invaluable ally to have.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Alexandre Larille]]''' - Val happened upon the unconscious body of this Duskwight shortly after leaving his tribe. Having spent a rather great deal of time alone and not quite used to it, the Seeker stuck around long enough to nurse the Elezen back to health and enjoy the company while he could. For this, Alexandre apparently feels in debt to Val and the two have came to a mutual claim of friendship until such a debt is settled. Neither of them would speak of this, and Val certainly wouldn't admit to having a soft side.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[A’nzil Oenomaus]]''' - Val absolutely hates being burdened with tasks. The only thing he hates more than that is indentured servitude, especially of his own people. This is what brought Val to eventually accept the task of training A'nzil. Truth be told, the Seeker knows little about teaching others aside from how he was taught; with harsh, hands-on experience. He hopes to toughen A'nzil up through a series of battles, feeling that he's been coddled far too much.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kah'li Tayuun]]''' - Long before he and Faye were an item, Val hated this Keeper because he seemed to be trying to steal the lady out from under him. He would constantly ridicule Kah'li for being blind which often led to bickering between the two. Over time, the two became friends and even sparring partners, each trading victories. Val has come to respect the man, especially since he respects his relationship with Faye, and would do almost anything should he ever ask.<br />
<br />
[[File:ValFayeWedding.png|400px|right|Val and Faye's Wedding (Courtesy of Kaoru!)]]<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Dartanon Nobis]]''' - This self-proclaimed knight managed to interfere with Val's retribution on a man that tried to steal Faye from him. While Val was thoroughly hateful towards him at first, the relationship soon turned into something akin to a friendship. At least, until Val found that Dartanon was dating one of the Garleans that had attacked Faye. Since then he's kept the man at arm's length, not because he necessarily doesn't wish to be around him, but because Faye giving the order to exterminate the woman he's with will make cutting him down that much easier should he get in his way.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Zularti Vensar]]''' - Val isn't quite sure what to make of this man aside from the fact that he shouldn't really be considered a man at all. He is brash, irrational, and thoroughly childlike. Why Faye follows him or entertains the idea of him being any sort of leader he'll never know, but he has decided to suffer through it in order to keep her happy.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Unknown Keeper of the Moon]]''' - There is little that Val knows about this dark skinned, dark haired Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon. What he does know is that she has the ability to assume the form of nearly anyone. She barged into his home shortly after Faye had been kidnapped and offered only to give her location and a cure for the poison currently afflicting him in exchange for his aether. When she left, Val was broken. He is now deathly afraid of her particular kind of Voidsent, as well as wary of any women that get near him in case they happen to be her returning for more.<br />

<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Quirks</u>'''''</span> ===<br />
<br />
Wawarren does his best to speak "properly" and devoid of slang or accent. If he is heard cursing in public, something is wrong.<br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Flaws</u>'''''</span> ===<br />
<br />
*Wawarren is perhaps ''too'' wanting to help. He's a bit naive when it comes to playing "hero" despite his efforts otherwise.<br />
<br />
*Wawarren 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.<br />
<br />
*Wawarren keeps his walls very high and very secure. He is slow to trust anyone and prefers people see him only as his title.<br />
<br />
*Wawarren has constantly demonstrated a willingness to neglect himself when focused on another task he deems important enough. During times of strife, he will often ignore sleep and sustenance for as long as he can despite knowing it will only serve to impede him once they catch up with him.<br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Fears</u>'''''</span> ===<br />
<br />
He would have you believe he doesn't know the meaning of the word. In reality, he is deathly afraid of failing, letting down or otherwise losing the few people he has come to rely upon.<br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Talents</u>'''''</span> ===<br />
<br />
Due to his size and upbringing, Wawarren is strong and a dedicated swordsman. He also prizes his powers of perception.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Abilities and Skills ==<br />
<br />
=== '''''<u>Personal</u>''''' ===<br />
<br />
*While lacking any true break-out abilities, he is thankful for his naturally high constitution and powerful musculature.<br />
<br />
=== '''''<u>Weapons</u>''''' ===<br />
<br />
*Wawarren considers himself proficient with a sword and shield. He is an amateur at hand to hand combat but attempts to make up for his lack of discipline with raw power.<br />
=== '''''<u>Magic</u>''''' ===<br />
<br />
*He was once able channel healing magic, but has long since fallen out of practice.<br />
<br />
=== '''''<u>Crafting</u>''''' ===<br />
<br />
*Wawarren 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.<br />
<br />
== Affiliations ==<br />
<br />
*Wawarren 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.<br />

::*[[Oscare Iono]]: "Another stoic guard? Honestly, having him around just makes me and the place feel safer."<br />
::*[[Aya Foxheart]]: "He told me that he really does have friends..."<br />
::*[[Aya Foxheart]]: "They used to say that the pillar would fall down without him. I guess that hasn't happened, but I have to say, I miss the guy."<br />
::*[[Delial Grimsong]]: "Ser Castille, was it? Quiet. Can bleed quite a lot. Has the makings of a perfect man. Hah!"<br />
::*[[Coatleque Crofte]]: "I hear he has fought his way up to Overseer at he Grindstone. At least he leaves the Goblet once in a week to see the sunlight."<br />
::*[[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."<br />
::*[[Erik Mynhier]]: "A good man who has my respect, not something I give away to just anyone."<br />
::*[[S'imba Tia]]: "He stands by that pillar so much I had to carve his name right above his spot just so everyone knew that it was his."<br />
::*[[Franz Renatus]]: "Didn't really know him until that kidnapping thing. He's...I'm not sure. I'd like to get to know him more."<br />
::*[[Natalie Mcbeef]]: "Look up 'Grump' in the dictionary and you'll see his face. Besides that he's a good man to have at your side in a fight."<br />

::*[[Val Nunh]]: "Ol' Warren's a pretty swell guy. I mean, I ain' ever really went out fer drinks wi' 'im 'r nothin', but I figure 'e's th'type y'could talk 'bout just anythin' to.

<br />
== General Stuff ==<br />
Under construction! About time I overhauled some of this junk.<br />
<br />
== The Grindstone ==<br />
For many, many weeks the Grindstone saw Wawarren Castille and his best friend, [[Ha'uruh Nunh]] arrive to compete in the Grindstone, and every week saw Wawarren 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.<br />
<br />
During his time as a fighter, Wawarren managed to establish a losing record of 11-13 and managed to win the Grindstone twice.<br />
<br />
<br />
The past several moons have seen Wawarren 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.<br />
<br />
== Current Events ==<br />
Recent time has witnessed Wawarren 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.<br />

==Character==<br />
[[File:Jaques Tiergan.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Art by Tiergan Vashir.]]<br />
This guarded, scowling, and often intimidating looking Duskwight tends to keep to himself. Those observing him may notice how he seems to always move with purpose and carries himself with confidence and balance. Whatever he is wearing will typically be in good repair, although obviously well used.<br />

<br />
===General===<br />
<br />
Server: Balmung<br />
<br />
Full Name: Jaques Guillaume<br />
<br />
Name & Aliases: Jaques, Tabby, Tabby-elf (which he hates), Jack (usually as an insult or those who are after or know about the bounty.)<br />
<br />
Pronunciation (listen to the french version): [http://translate.google.com/#en/fr/Jaques%20Guillaume]<br />
<br />
Birthplace: - The Clan Marécage caverns are located in southern Coerthas. In the mountains just north of the Yafaem Saltmoor.<br />
<br />
Voice: Deep, mature, masculine.<br />
<br />
===Appearance===<br />
<br />
[[File:Jaques scarrification.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Scarification banner down right side.]]<br />
Jaques is on the tall and heavy side for an elezen, standing at about 6 fulms 10 ilms and roughly coming in at 240 ponz. Although he is in no way fat. In fact he's more on the well-muscled side for his kind. Instead of the typical grey and ashen skin tones of other Duskwights his is dark brown. His face is is rectangular with a thin, sharp, slightly down-turned nose, fuller lips, and a stern and pronounced brow over narrow, almond shaped bright amber eyes. He has a old scar that runs diagonally down away from his nose on his left cheek and has a fading black tribal like tattoo around his eyes that seems to only accentuate the guarded and impassive scowl that he typically wears. His thick and unruly black hair is kept braided back away from his face at pretty much all times and the thick, full beard is kept trimmed and well groomed. His ears are of slightly longer length than average and upturn slightly at the tips. The lobes are pierced and he usually wears a pair of black dangling claws fashioned into earrings. At his neck he wears a black bone and stone necklace and is otherwise unadorned with such accessories.<br />
<br />
<br />
Jaques's clothing tends to run on the more practical and simple side rather than anything flashing and flamboyant and seems to prefer more muted and natural colour tones. He's most often seen in leathers of some variety with a pair of metal claws strapped to a heavily pouched belt. He always has a hunting knife strapped to his right boot. He sometimes is seen wearing dark plate armour and sporting a large axe strapped to his back. He is almost always seen carrying a much abused and patched pack.<br />
<br />
His layered scarring gives away his life as a melee fighter. If one can see his legs and arms they'd see several minor scars on his knuckles, forearms, shins and knees. All of them of varying ages. He does has a few body scars. Claw rakes run parallel to the spine over his shoulder blades. There is a scar from what was probably a fairly major wound on his right side just above his pelvic bone, going from front to back. Also on his right side, starting just below the armpit and ending just above the old scar is some very fresh scarrification. A tribal-esque banner. On his left side and peck he has a fairly major but fully healed burn scar. He also has a tattoo on his left bicep. A simple thin complete black band. The bottom of the band is lined with red and has a break on the outside of the arm with red orb in the center of the break.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
:'''Motivations:''' Helping those in need, especially those he calls friend. Building a new life for himself and for his love.<br />
<br />
:'''Disposition:''' Quiet, cold, distrustful and stand-offish to those he first meets. However he does tend to remain polite. Protective and friendly to those he knows and calls friend.<br />
<br />
He tends to keep to himself most times or is sometimes seen associating in smaller groups of people. He tends to be a planner, not liking to go into situations and confrontations blind. His emotions tend to be hidden behind his stern and impassive scowl. He does seem to actively avoid going into places that serve alcoholic beverages. With the only exception being the Bismarck where he occasionally works as as a fill in chef. It takes a bit to rile him but once his temper is lost he does tend to loose it violently. He can be quite opinionated on some things and doesn't have much of an issue sharing them once you can get him talking. However ask something too personal without being trusted and he'll clam right back up again.<br />
<br />
Once he does start to open up more of his personality shines through. Such as his dry and sometimes sarcastic sense of humor and his protective nature. He is always seeming to want to know how those he cares about has been and how their fairing. If they're having troubles he usually will offer his assistance freely. Sometimes his protective nature can border on the obsessive and will practically force his assistance or protections on someone, whether it's fully wanted or not. He also tends to live more for others than for himself.<br />

==You might know him from...==<br />
<br />
When he was a wandering drunkard from the outskirts of the Shroud in the 3 years prior to game launch. Perhaps you gambled with him, gave him a handout or had a drunken brawl with him. Or perhaps you taunted him and scorned him. Or simply tried your best to ignore him.<br />
<br />
Recently, you might have seen him in Ul'dah or Limsa. He seems to have cleaned himself up and has not been begging or drunk as far as anyone has seen. <br />
<br />
Very recently you might know him from the Ul'dahn 150k gil bounty that had been placed on his head. The description matches Jaques but the name on the bounty has him listed as "Jack." Wanted dead or alive for harboring the fugitive Vaughn Antain, who has a bounty of 850k gil and wanted alive. These bounties are no longer active.<br />
<br />
He is now the owner of The Desert Rose. Those from Ul'dah might have heard of the place at one time or another as a very expensive brothel located in the seedier section of Ul'dah. Current rumor is that the brothel is no longer accepting patrons although the reasons are a little vague and open for speculation.<br />
<br />
==Rumors==<br />
<br />
===Current Event Rumors===<br />
::* "Backstabbing bastard if you ask me. Which you are. He turned in that whore fugitive he was 'harboring'. Even took a job at the brothel the Desert Rose, which is where he returned the whore to. Then again, maybe the whore Antain deserved it. Should'a seen the list he's wanted for. If even half of 'em were able to be proven he'd be put weaponless into a deathmatch in the pits for a bit of bloodsport." --Immortal Flames clerk<br />
::* "He's runnin' a brothel now. His business partner, Callistus, was doin' some dark magic in the basement and vanished. Vivifan had to do a cleansing. Came back mighty pissed off about the whole thing too. Something about Leviathan." --Ossuary Thaurmaturge<br />
::* "Desert Rose? Aye, I know of the place. Expensive whores there so I aint never been. Not much traffic goin' in or out of it lately though." --Refugee in Ul'dah<br />
::* "He's been bringin' in instructors? What whores need with learning their history I don't know." --Talk over a job offer poster for the Desert Rose<br />
<br />
===Common Rumors===<br />
::* "Jaques? Yeah, I've seen him around. Often with some Twelves damned Green. What's that about?" -Prejudiced Duskwight<br />
::* "I've seen him walking around with weapons. claws and sometimes a big ol' axe. But I've never seen him use them. Is he any good?" -Limsian adventurer<br />
::* "He was working to be a full-time chef at the Bismarck. But he hasn't been around much lately and it's a shame, he made the -best- steaks." -Bismarck regular<br />
;;* "Quiet. Doesn't stick around or talk much. But he always brings the catch in on time and to order." -Fisherman's guild attendant<br />
<br />
===Moderate Rumors===<br />
::* "He used to drink like a fish. Seems he's cleaned up nicely in the last few moons." -Heard around the Shroud.<br />
::* "Jaques... Jaques... Ah. The Duskwight. He's a poaching bastard. Did you know he's got a fairly long criminal record here in Gridania? Stay away from him if you want to stay out of trouble here." - Wood Wailer<br />
::* "I saw him being quite affectionate towards a couple of different young miqo'te girls. Dirty old man." -Disapproving hyur woman<br />
::* "Jaques has taken a number of jobs from us that he's completed on time and efficiently. He usually takes jobs that involve a rampaging beast or doing various forms of pest control. He's a respected member of the Grand Company." - Maelstrom attendant<br />
<br />
===Rare Rumors===<br />
::* "There is this male Duskwight that sometimes gets a room here. Jock? Jack? Something like that. Anyway, he -always- shares it with this Wildwood that I thought was a woman at first, until he changed into his swim trunks. Anyroad, I had to go tell them to keep it down the last time they were here. If you know what I mean. It was so embarrassing!" gossiping Bronze Lake attendant.<br />
::* "<br />

<br />
=== Player Character Rumors (Add anything you'd like, true or untrue, just keep it IC!) ===<br />

::* "He's modest, but he's quite the teacher. I mean, I didn't even know what the terms 'Grey' or 'Green' meant outside the Rose until he explained it to me!" -[[Vaughn Antain]]<br />
::* "Tall, dark, and... he is a lot less brooding than he looks!" -[[Aya Foxheart]]<br />

==Personal history==<br />
<br />
===After exile===<br />
Jaques had a fairly steep learning curve and a fair amount of culture shock since his exile. He did his best at first, scavenging off the land around the outskirts of the Shroud and never even set foot into a settlement. But then the first winter hit. He had no where to supply and stock provisions and he had to enter the outlying settlements else he starve or freeze to death. He'd scavenge from rubbish heaps for leftover scraps to eat and soon learned the art of begging for handouts. It was that first winter that he stared his decent into alcoholism. For the next three years he became little more than the areas wandering homeless drunkard. His life revolved on either being completely sloshed, or figuring out how to become that way.<br />
<br />
A chance encounter with a Miqo'te named Polkah, the first person since the exile to really help. Gave him the nudge he needed to get him on a better path for himself. That story can be found here: [http://facetsofeorzea.enjin.com/forum/m/11780670/viewthread/7977473-jaques-gillaume-recovering-alcoholic]<br />
<br />
==Clan Marécage information==<br />
<spoiler><br />
===General information===<br />
<br />
::* The Clan Marécage caverns are located in southern Coerthas. In the mountains just north of the Yafaem Saltmoor. <br />
::* The caverns were discovered by a group of 12 extended families. The Guillaume were one of those families that makes up their clan.<br />
::* The community is highly insular, communal, and are a fairly self sufficient hunter/gatherer society. <br />
::* They have no monetary system.<br />
::* The caverns are not just rough cut walls. Stoneshapers (sculptors) are highly prized for their artistry. Patterns and gems have been carved and inset into the walls, columns and passages. The floors are polished smooth. Sculptures representing Byregot are common. <br />
::* Just over a malm away there is another cave structure that this tribe actively mines for gems and other earth commodities.<br />
::* The clan has been and remains to be fairly successful due to the community's continued sweat blood and tears.<br />
::* For religion they acknowledge the Twelve. But they have strong leanings to Byregot, the Builder. They have rituals and such they perform before excavating a new area in order to ensure a safe excavation and divining where to dig. They also have a few religious holidays in his honor.<br />
::* Those charged with defense of the caverns and any activity outside the caverns are called Guardians.<br />
::* Cave structure and development. Originally the caves where three large connected caverns. With hard labor (and explosives...) over the centuries they have added additional large caverns as well as smaller branches leading to private living quarters. The living quarters are pretty much just for that. They are fairly small spaces and used for sleeping/intimacy/privacy. When a couple newly wed, they will take up a spare living quarter. If none are available then one would have to be hollowed out. Of the original three caverns: The first cavern, the one leading to above ground, is the smallest of the caverns. It is used primarily as a staging and receiving area. Goods that are brought in are processed here. DWs heading out of the caverns use this area to equip, supply and prepare. The second cavern is the largest. This is where games/the arena/festivals/the school/general socializing can be found and is held. Most of the living quarter branches start off from this cavern. The third cavern, still fairly large in size, is the community mess hall. Most of the storage and mushroom crop passages lead off from this cavern. The clan created a fourth cavern deeper than the original three. This one is where the council members convene and work. The only passage from that cavern is the one linking it to the third.<br />
::* During one of their early living quarter expansions, they blasted into a small crevice that extended deeper down into the earth. Right into an underground river. This is where the community's fresh water is now supplied from. When things shifted during the calamity, the crevice apparently deepened and the clan had to rework their mechanical pump to reach their fresh water supply.<br />
::* At the time of Jaques exile there were ~350 individuals that called the caverns their home.<br />
::* Up until very recently there had been no conjuration available in the caverns and so they used more traditional medicines and alchemy.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Politics/laws===<br />
<br />
::* The 12 families elect one head to represent them on the council.<br />
::* The council is responsible for directing and looking out for the best interests of the community as a whole. The clan has notices that 12 families coincides with The Twelve. It is considered a good omen. But it isn't like each seat represents one of The Twelve or anything like that.<br />
<spoiler><br />
::* In lean years the council takes direct control on rationing and distributing goods. <br />
::* Under the council, prominent family members tend to look after and police their own families.<br />
<br />
'''Laws:'''<br />
<br />
::* One must provide for the community in some capacity.<br />
::* One will never take the life of another.<br />
::* One will not take more than their share. Especially at the expense of others.<br />
::* Two child per married couple. (This was established at the founding of the clan to help create a stable, predictable population growth. By this point it's tradition and not much push to change the law.)<br />
<br />
<br />
===Growing up in the clan===<br />
<br />
There is a school set up in the main cavern that serves as a place for children to learn about a variety of subjects. They start schooling at about the age of 5. The elders are usually tasked with teaching the younger generations.<br />
<br />
A child isn't restricted to a job their parents adhere to. Instead, as part of their schooling, they are tested for a variety of aptitudes and are nudged to fully explore and discover those strengths. A child who shows remarkable physical prowess and skills at combat will usually become the guardians and hunters. One that shows a lot of abstract thought and looks/plans on things as a whole would probably be groomed as a family head, if not a potential council member.<br />
<br />
Combat learning (whether physical or magical) was just as manditory to learn as reading, writing, and plant lore.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Punishment===<br />
<br />
The individual accused will stand before the council. The council will review their crime and then a majority vote will take place on the level of punishment.<br />
<br />
'''Ostracism'''- The lowest tier of punishment. Most common punishment. The individual will be ostracized from the group for an initial period of 3-7 days with a third party community member being assigned to monitor the individual. They will still be allowed to live amongst the community and their caverns will still provide a roof over their heads. But that will be the extent of that the community will help the convicted individual. They will not get to partake in the communal meals and services.<br />
If the individual didn't simply leave the tribe or die, (both rare) then the individual would be presented back in front of the council for further judgement. The person who had been assigned to monitor the convicted will report their findings of how the convicted performed. If they attempted to make amends with the community (Still providing some service for the community even though they were getting nothing in return for example.) then the individual would be welcomed back into the community. If the convicted didn't try to make amends or deliberately decided to continue to cause issues inside the community, then the council would re-review the individual's punishment. It could be extended if they saw some hope. Or the punishment could escalate.<br />
<br />
'''Banishment'''- The middle tier of punishment. Fairly rare punishment. But was known to happen. The individual will have demonstrated that they could not and/or would not assimilate into the community and work for the community betterment. This individual is given a small window of time to supply and say farewells. Then they must leave the clan. They were allowed to visit and share on major holidays, if they wished, to check up on any loved ones they left behind.<br />
<br />
'''Exiled'''- The top and final tier of punishment. Reserved for those who actively and intentionally caused some harm to the community. Very rare punishment. The individual, upon sentencing, is immediately cast out with only the Items on their person. Their names are stricken from record as the individual is kicked out of even their family. In the eyes of the clan: The exiled have the duskwight race. But he/she may no longer BE a duskwight. The individual is (obviously) never allowed back to the caverns.<br />
<br />
'''Additional notes''':<br />
<br />
Usually if the crime isn't large enough to make it to the council, the family heads will punish their own. Sometimes with lesser ostracism but could include everything from a stern talking to, to a public humiliation, or to a caning.<br />
<br />
Infanticide, while uncommon, is practiced within reason. Its one of the grim allowances they've made to relieve some of the restriction on a couple only being able to have two children. For instance: because neither gender is viewed more desirable than another, killing an infant based solely on gender is hugely taboo. Couples have been banished for it. But if the babe has a major physical deformity or very apparent diminished mental capacity at or shortly after birth? Then it is generally considered a kindness to help those babes pass on rather than have them not be able to fit within and be unable to contribute to the society.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Outside interactions/contacts===<br />
<br />
Common expeditions out of the caverns.<br />
<br />
::* To head down to the saltmoors for fishing, hunting, and gathering.<br />
::* To head to the mine.<br />
<br />
Scheduled expeditions out of the caverns.<br />
<br />
::* To convene with a couple neighboring clans for joint holidays/customs/and trade.<br />
::* Once a year, after the majority of the trading with the neighboring clans had concluded, and towards the end of the harvest season for the surface dwellers. The clan puts together a caravan of the seasons surplus goods and gems make the many malm journey eastwards. There they meet up with a predominately hyur settlement where they trade for things like grains, textiles, and other resources and luxuries they can't get themselves.<br />

'''Jancis Milburga''', a midlander hyur, is an merchant's daughter orphaned in the Twelveswood and forced to come into her own.<br />
==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''Appearance''</div>==<br />
Jancis is overall quite plain in her manner of attire and appearance; though she keeps herself kept she does not follow the fashion or trends of higher classes or wear makeup. <br />
Her hands are soft and she'll typically wear gloves to protect them. <br />
<br />
Jancis has an alto voice range and no vocal training.<br />
<br />
'''Beyond what the character actually wears:''' <br />
*Around her neck is a simple chain holding a handmade ring with a lapis lazuli gem in it.<br />
*Has a plain handkerchief of cotton (not always the same one she constantly gives it away).<br />
*Typically has a small book-sized satchel containing basic medical supplies, a map, and a waterskin.<br />
*There is a wand or other natural-wood on her person or in her satchel.<br />
<br />
'''Scars:''' <br />
*A knife scar across her cheek done in a traditional design which has stretched and faded as she's come into adulthood. Received as a child.<br />
*A keloid scar with a spider-like style with thin branches on her stomach and on her lower back; gotten from being impaled with a conjured stalagmite from [[Melfice Vainchelon]] in disguise.<br />
*Right shoulder has small jagged scars from the claws and teeth of a possessed imp attack. Received while rescuing [[L'aenoh Tia]] from a dark blood mage.<br />
*Three indented slots on her left side starting at her lower ribs which look like a giant fork stabbed her (which is what happened). Inflicted by [[Augustine Frost]] while under the influence of "Pink Primal" [[Memeli Meli]].<br />
*Left arm has speckled skin coloring from burns and aether damage, a mix caused by [[Jana Ridah]], [[Delial Grimsong]], and fighting Louvel for [[Ja'ren A'lenthin]].<br />
<br />
==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''General Demeanor''</div>==<br />
Jancis is awkward socially, ranging from blunt questions to over elaborate sentences as if talking in a storybook. <br />
She calls nearly everyone by some kind of title and will avoid saying the name of people she does not care about. <br />
<br />
Having a kind heart, Jancis is very patient and forgiving with others. She's happiest when she is feeling useful and is a good follower. <br />
Has a soft spot for children and young animals, but in general she's very 'hands on' touching people on their arms or shoulders and taking their hands to make connection.<br />
<br />
Fearless and willing to speak up to bring about understanding and clarification on matters she finds to be wrong, particularly if it is hurting someone.<br />
Defensive of friends and allies, or those she deems in duress, she will stand up in protection and literally block words or physical attempts of harm.<br />
<br />
==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''Combat - Views/Behavior''</div>==<br />
[[File:Mark Crilley Manga Shading.jpg|350px|right]]<br />
*<b>Skills</b><br />
:*While not very smart in battle, Jancis does not fear it. She will go in and try to support everyone she's an ally with regardless of her own safety. <br />
:*As a conjurer, Jancis is sensitive to the elements and through training has become more sensitive to the aether and magicks around people she's close to, giving her an edge on healing serious conditions at crucial times. <br />
:*She's light of foot and quick to find a place she thinks will not hinder her allies.<br />
:*She is trained in poisons and venoms, taking them herself in small doses to build up an immunity. She will use it as a rudimentary attack by throwing and misting as a distraction.<br />
:*Trained with basics of a shield and staff. Usually does not have both at once and will two-hand whichever she has. Carries a wand and has natural items on her person at all times to form conjuration.<br />
<br />
*<b>Weaknesses</b><br />
:*Jancis is typically too preoccupied watching her allies she fails to watch out for herself and would be an easy target. <br />
:*Her strength and dexterity in a fight is not too keen and she would easily fall in one-on-one battle.<br />
:*Her ability to "read" aether is a novice level, so things that are unnatural or done by an arcanist she cannot undo by the same means. She can do little more than sense the presence of aether.<br />
:*Being a conjurer, she relies on her voice to call out to the elements to assist her. Anything that would hinder that or interrupt her would leave her to rely on physical abilities alone.<br />
<br />
==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''Tendencies''</div>==<br />
[[File:Jancis Milburga 16-bits - by Ilweran zpsregqfop1.gif|right]]<br />
:*Jancis grew up mostly on her own out in the wild of the Shroud. Her habits and words do not follow current culture 100%; she will use odd terms and not understand idioms.<br />
:*Wearing pants her entire childhood, she compensates for typical 'style' by wearing leggings.<br />
:*Apologizes constantly.<br />
:*Tends to be hands-on with people, touching their arm or shoulder, and does not understand the concept of personal space.<br />

[[File:Coatleque & Jancis.jpg|400px|right]]<br />
• [[A'rho Tia]] - A humorous and giving aether user and something of an artist to Jancis. She is easily enchanted and smiling at the man for his witty humor and curious ways he shows care to those around him, particularly his twin brother and L'aenoh. "Master A'rho".<spoiler><br />
[[File:Arho_wiki_profilepic.png|200px]]<br><br />
'''Notes'''<br />
*Has a twin brother A'randr, who is he very close to.<br />
*Can manipulate aether into a carbuncle as an extension of himself.<br />
'''Current Goals'''<br />
*Understand why A'rho is Marked by the Mistress. During the fight, A'rho came by and was helping with the wounded at Coralhaus. Asked to look into this voidsent Gwendolyn, he takes a sample of everyone's blood to hopefully figure out the problem.<br />
*See if he can help with L'aenoh's condition<br />
'''Past Events'''<br />
*Met via Rinilda and spoke in-length at the Grindstone one night about healing and even assisted in smaller wounds. <br />
*Met again and spent a good deal of time together during All Saint's Wake where the man continued to encourage and compliment the conjurer's costume.<br />
:*Won the story contest with the girl and mirror.<br />
*Most of the time he comes around the house, Jancis gets distracted and unknowingly helps the man steal many of the juice boxes L'aenoh keeps at the bar.<br />
*Coming to Leanne's picnic, Jancis aether travels with A'randr and he gets very sick. She tells A'rho who claims that his brother could have died and is furious. She feels very calleous and neglectful for leaving A'randr as he was.<br />
</spoiler><br />
• [[A'randr Tia]] - Shy smiling man, Jancis has a strange fondess for the quiet and stoic figure. Finding him quiet and kind with a weird awkward bashfulness, she always tries to talk to him for no particular reason. "Lord A'randr"<spoiler><br />
[[File:Aran001.png|200px]]<br><br />
'''Notes'''<br />
*Brother of A'rho<br />
*Has sweaty hands<br />
*Sells tobacco and other smoking novelties. <br />
*Enjoys juice boxes, particularly apple. <br />
'''Current Goals''''<br />
*Apologize and make up for leaving the man in dire pain at Fallgourd<br />
*A'randr found out that A'rho has been marked and asked for a sample of blood to follow-up with, giving to alchemists he knows. Find out what results the man receives.<br />
'''Past Events''''<br />
*Met at the All Saint's Wake party, unable to talk to him with all the commotion and crowd.<br />
*Going to Leanne's picnic, the two travel via aether which leaves A'randr ill. Telling her to go on ahead, Jancis finds out later how bad it affected him.<br />
*Making a leftover eel dinner, Jancis asks Sigurd to make juice which the twins help with. Coming over with surprise cake, A'randr destroys an orange in his hand which Jancis helps clean off while quoting from a book.<br />
:*“If love were a color, it'd be orange. Not because that's a romantic color, but because it's the sweetest. If you want to know how I feel about you, I just made some juice out of it. Grab a glass—a tall one.”<br />
</spoiler><br />
♠ [[Alveo Soulseeker]] - Jancis met Alveo while working as a support in the same Free Company and ended up having feelings for the sailor. Once recovered from his life-long ordeal, they confessed their feelings for one another and were to be wed.<spoiler><br />
'''Past Events'''<br />
*Uponing joining the Harbingers of Dawn company, Jancis got wrapped up in a personal condition of one of the soldiers. By chance missing the worst of his afflicted curse; she ended up trusting Alveo and his companion Rynn. <br />
:*While mostly being forced to be a source of outsider support, Jancis continued to bring aid and deal with the awkward man with a gruff demeanor. She was there when Alveo defeated Illear, freeing himself, and found him to be much more than a cold husk.<br />
*Looking to prove her worth and ease the conscious of her beloved, Jancis joined the Maelstrom as a medic. Unknown to her, this only caused her lover more worry and concern. Her current work has her going along the coastal towns assisting the locals with their ailments and concerns.<br />
*''Al-well that ends well'': After many trips North to find her beloved and assist him in his ordeals and endeavors, Jancis continued to find only traces left behind by the man. Contacting his other friends and mentors, whom had not heard of his ventures nor received word back from him, as well as sending multiple letters she was assisted in the end by another friend who confirmed Alveo was actively receiving her correspondence and was going on his own missions of his own accord. Though heartbroken, she learned to live with his decision and discontinued her trips North or holding out for contact; knowing his indecision before about a life of settling down and his refusal to put her into danger clearly trumped any importance she held on his heart previously.<br />
*Being brave and strong-headed in a rare occasion, Jancis lost her proper demeanor with Sir Filangieri which led to a complicated encounter with the two. Alveo finding out and taking it poorly, Jancis decided in order to "forgive herself" to take up a huge amount of debt to protect Alveo. Jancis was indebted to Lady Tasa. <br />
:*Reuniting with Alveo by chance while working, he convinced her that they could "go home", but the soldier's true intentions were to goad the knight Sir Filangieri into a fight. After being humiliated in front of the others, Jancis was strained with thoughts of giving up on her beloved. The situation was more compounded by his additional apologies and a very intimate offer. Jancis' trust in Alveo has improved dramatically from the sailor's continued efforts to compromise with the stubborn knight. <br />
*Key events including rejoining the Maelstrom, night of the Pumpkin Cafe opening, and Dhemgeim's nameday celebration have solidified Jancis' commitment to Alveo.<br />
*In a show of loyalty and to give Alveo clarity, Jancis has entrusted him with her most precious possession: a silver charm bracelet, infant-sized, with a seashell-shaped charm bearing the engraving "L.F.".<br />
*At Alveo's lack of concern and mix-up that he intended to take on a near suicidal job for a shady mercenary group, she struck him. Anytime this is brought up, Jancis feels very guilty.<br />
*Alveo proposed on the 30th Sun of the 3rd Umbral Moon, after the Grindstone they traveled to the Sagoii Desert where the two had first realized how much they cared for one another. While Jancis did not grow up knowing such culture of marriage outside of fictional books, she is excited about the title and reacts to it, particularly from Alveo.<br />
*With a surprising change, Alveo has gone North to assist his mentor in an emergency call. Cleaning out their home and resigning from his position with the Coral Sea and the Maelstrom.<br />
*With little word of his departure, Jancis finds his mentor and learns he has no information on his departure nor had insight of it, much as he does not care for the woman.<br />

*Recited poem during Halone's pilgrimage.<br />
</spoiler><br />
♠ [[Bartolomeo Filangieri]] - A well respected knight, Jancis met Sir Filangieri her first night with the Harbingers. He left quite an impression on her from his approach and kindness, even taking a particular interest in one of her childish toys. After a particularly crucial fight Jancis has dropped her overly-polite demeanor with the knight which can easily be taken the wrong way. She also reacts acutely to his mannerisms, be them good or bad. She will follow his direction without question. Jancis will refer to him as "Sir Filangieri" strictly. Whereabouts unknown.<spoiler><br />

*At the Coral beach party, Jancis treats the knight in a particular way which causes him to kiss her. Saddened by her childish mistakes, she ends up apologizing to both him and her then betrothed.<br />
*Losing track of the man's movements through Ul'dah and then Gridania, she believes the man dead or gone.<br />

:*Met in the Agent's headquarters in their, then, fighting pit. Berrod and Oscare were fighting and Jancis stayed behind to see how Oscare was recovering from his defeat.<br />
*Had to heal at Grindstone previously when the man would fight in it. Every time she did, he is quiet and reserved.<br />
*Meeting again moons later, Berrod had a striking difference in character, bright and energetic, to apologize and thank her for all the tolerance in front of an intra-FC agrument and fight.<br />
</spoiler><br />
♦ [[Caen Jabari]] - A very warmhearted man known for his sunshine-bright garb. Jancis finds him adorable and endearing, unable to not smile at most anything he says and does. Easy to approach, she will go towards him and travel nearby to keep him safe from harm.<spoiler><br />

After talking with Dhemgeim, Chaska fears for her continued life with the Coral Sea. No charges are filed and Jancis tries to comfort the woman with giving her a whistle so she has a small way to communicate and call for help.<br />
</spoiler><br />
♥ [[Chuchukepa Hohokepa]] - Thaumaturge of the Coral Sea with a nervous demeanor. Jancis regards the man as one of the most bravest people she knows for his ability to answer calls for help regardless of his own welfare and despite his own nervousness. "Master Chuchukepa". <spoiler><br />

Moving to protect the delicate elezen Reinette, Jancis ends up slaying one of the men from the use of too much force whereas she expected to merely subdue the man. The operation was an overall success, freeing the other marketed people and giving the Maelstrom a new ship.<br />

<font style="color: #AC58FA" size="3">♥</font>&nbsp;'''[[Coatleque Crofte]]''':&nbsp;A strong-willed knight, Jancis met her through guild masters to tutor and teach in the basics of conjuration. Becoming trusted friends, the two travel together often and share studies. Cici is like family to Jancis and is her first source of comfort and will typically try to follow her around despite the city politics and protocol. Though Jancis fails to understand much of the subtle work Cici does, she still will speak up about the shadow sides of it. Is usually left in the dark on her "sister's" real activities, but trusts the intention and meaning behind the secrets. To others Jancis will refer to her as "Lady Crofte" but personally will call her "CiCi". [[http://imgur.com/a/iSkZu#6 Gallery]] <spoiler><br />

:*Noticing before her mission to Gridania that the knight is spending more time in Limsa, she overhears some work about following up on a man named Nero and hiring [[Fio Arasgain]] to assist in the matter.<br />
:*[[Otto Vann]] has asked about [[Natalie Mcbeef]], which Jancis told her what little she knew of the encounter in Limsa, but failed to get the lady knight's attention to tell her of his inquiry. After offering, Jancis looks for Cici to find out more about the problem. Both talk about it, learning that Master Vann has turned down an offer from Lady McBeef to get involved.<br />
:*While following a lead about some certain confiscated cargo, Jancis makes a very violent run-in with McBeef and her associates only one recognized is Cici ([[Jana Ridah]], [[Askier Mergrey]], [[Delial Grimsong]], Brynnalia) looking to gain information on a man named [[Nero Lazarov]].

::*Cici visits Jancis at the Still Shore, sharing what she can about the warehouse fiasco. [[http://i.imgur.com/Rcw2fmp.jpg Scene]]<br />

With the reward of a kiss, Dhemgeim, Tausenadel, and Jancis all succumb to Memeli's 'pink tempering'.

</spoiler><br />
♦ [[Faolan Woodlock]] - A curious wild man. Jancis sees him as polite and awkward much as she felt coming into society years ago. She fails to see the fury and amount of patience the man tries to exert in public, so she approaches him easily. "Master Faolan"<spoiler><br />

:*Teld're finds out about the attempt to remove the runes through his connection with Faolan. Coming to visit him in Reinette's room, he talks of runes and trying to understand who put it there and what kind of holy metals were used to create the ring within. He shares there is a 'man' called Telos that might help, but has to be reached in dreams and apparently holds no love for Faolan. The three decide to go to Faolan's house in Coerthas to find out what they can. Still having some of the inchor that came out of Faolan, they will test the ooze to see if reacts to anything, particular some special daggers of metals Teld're is versed in understanding.<br />

*While coming to understand more about the concerns and troubles between Franz and Edda, the man revealed to Jancis part of his past including his Garlean blood, third eye, and more about a man he is 'infused' with who saved his morality.<br />
*While pursuing a desparate Ishgardian woman, along with Lady Reinette and Lady Ameline, a fight happens causing Franz to take a bad arrow wound.

<font style="color: #AC58FA" size="3">♥</font>&nbsp;[[L'aenoh Tia]] - Trained and rustic swordsman with few wits about him beyond his heart. Continues to do the best for this "hunter" as far as dealing with his wounds and problems from his past. Jancis now cooks a particular skillet bread specifically avoiding baking for his sake. Also is very protective of the man and will put up with most anything he dishes out, but continues to fail to protect him from harm since healing is a large ordeal for the man. He is something of a weakness for Jancis, getting upset easily about someone threatening to harm him or actually harming him. Other names "Ganzjaega", "Abarsoemr", referred to as "Sir L'aenoh"<spoiler><br />
[[File:L'ae_2.png|200px|right]]<br />

*Lost his left eye. Half of his right ear is missing.<br />
*Has a complicated glyph on his back, inhibiting his aether flow.<br />
*Creates crazy drink concoctions.<br />
:*Green Bottle: Every shot can taste like something else and have a different effect.<br />
:*Black Bottle: Tastes nice, but shoots through the person in half a bell.<br />
*Carries people like sacks of popotos.<br />
'''Current Goals'''<br />
*Understand the glyph on his back and find a way to remove it.<br />
*Talk him out of relying on Hnaba's 'mentor' for his problems.<br />
'''Past Events'''<br />
*Jancis truly met the man after Dhemgeim impaled Captain Renaud, particularly for glaring at Alveo.<br />
*While baking cupcakes with Hnaba and Memeli, Jancis takes a look at the empty socket L'aenoh's eye was in, which he hadn't cleaned. She insists on cleaning it out and finds out more about the hornet that stung it and festered. First hint that the man cannot be healed, but Jancis completely misses it.<br />
*Touch based on with dealing with the man's odd behavior of staying away from everyone, particularly Zhen. The two later on drifted apart.<br />
*''Hunting the Hunter;What is Love? Hnaba Don't Hurt Me, Don't Hurt me, No more..''L'aenoh Tia is kidnapped from the Coral House which leads into a nightmarish love crush with a demented woman and the painful aftermath.<br />
:*L'aenoh is taken from the Coral house, Still Shore, by force.<br />
:*Following any leads she can find regarding the struggle and kidnapping of his man which has led her to Gridania. Following her Guildmaster's urgings that the elements speak of a disturbance in the Central Shroud along with fellow company members Tausenadel Geispyrsyn, Q'nagali Yehn, Guillaume Rigolant, and Hnaba Jinjahl. As Hnaba leaves to search other leads, the other four find Hnaba at the place of the disturbance alone; a house covered in blood with an obvious place of capture with other such horrors of gore. Confronting the miqo'te, Hnaba slips down a secret passage in the floor which the other give chase on.<br />
:*The group finally catch up to Hnaba in a defiled spire, surrounded by imp-like creatures that cry out thankfully in men's voices when slain. The fight proves difficult, knocking out Q'nagali and Guillaume from severe injuries, but eventually the remaining Coral manage to subdue the insane woman.<br />
:*After much probing and being forced to a point to batter Hnaba with her shield, L'aenoh is found still clinging to life in a cell. Jancis' is particularly troubled by another corpse that is found in the search that was dressed up in L'aenoh's clothes but was burnt to death. The only way she could tell it was not the miqo'te was his eyepatch was on the wrong side.<br />
:*Recovering and returning to the Padjal E-Sumi-Yan, Hnaba is handed over to the Wood Wailers and the rest of the company's wounds are treated by the conjurers. The same evening, L'aenoh is found by Staefrue wandering south back towards La Noscea. Panicked, Jancis give chase on foot to the wounded man. Unable to deny his tortured request the three travel to their house, the Still Shore, aggravating Jancis' wounds. Having to backtrack to Gridania and other locations, Jancis continues to delay her own healing and recovery.<br />
:*Making a grave error in trying to heal L'aenoh further, Jancis resolves to find what Hnaba poisoned the man with and try it herself so she can duplicate the effects and find a potential treatment for it instead of the trial and error on someone else.<br />
:*Getting help from Chuchukepa Hohokepa, Jancis finds out the main ingredient is somnus. Going to Ul'dah, she looks for a means to treat the withdrawal. L'aenoh also asks her personally to find something to deal with his shakes, be it from forcing the information from Hnaba or other means. Finding the notes of an late alchemist, Jancis goes to reproduce the detoxification serum in hopes it will help the hunter's pains.<br />
:*Cici ends up helping Jancis with the main need of somnus through a mysterious "shadow knight" C'kayah Tia. Jancis is honored for the reason the man decided to help, as if he did not assist in the course of love, he would dishonor his guardian deity.<br />
:*By using notes gained from a dead alchemist and adding in to the somnus a growing percentage of blood plasma and a purifying catalyst, Jancis was able to create a serum that could wean the person off their addiction and rebuild natural functions. While the serum itself takes a lot of blood and an illegal substance, the conjurer is relieved greatly that L'aenoh is able to recover without pain.<br />
:*While recovering from battling the Leviathan, trouble comes from L'aenoh's room to find that Hnaba is there tied to a chair and beaten half to death. Jancis takes action in an ill-swept attempt to take the woman's life in a merciful and quiet manner (quiet as it can be with her screaming). The woman is kept in Stefan's room while L'aenoh mills over believing that she can deal with the seal on his back.<br />
:*Learning that L'aenoh also has a aether flow problem, due to a arcane seal on his person, can contribute to his problem with healing and recovering from his addiction. A'rho Tia is looking into the seal and its structure. He is making the mistake of hoping Hnaba will shed light on his condition and the reason for it. [Scene]<br />
:*After seeing the condition Hnaba is left in and also the house that L'aenoh and Staelufre have together far from the troubles in the Still Shore, Jancis gets L'aenoh to agree to finding out what he wishes in the next few days, or she will return Hnaba to Gridania.<br />
:*Checking in on Hnaba in her 'prison', Jancis is abhorred to see the filthy and broken condition she is in. Franz Renatus fixed her hands and Jancis takes it on herself to wash up the woman. Chaska Dakwhil and Reginald Ozrik are also present, looking on as Jancis is forced to wash the crying Hnaba. Runes are found on the mattress in blood and removed by Franz.<br />
:*Following days L'aenoh take Hnaba out to question her and find out about the seal on his neck, restricting his aether. Learning of a mentor in Southern Shroud, Hnaba is slain, much to the pain of Chaska and Reginald.<br />
*Offers to take Jancis to the Starlight Ball, which she declines because he confesses he was going to ask Lady Edda first and only asked to make Oscare leave. L'aenoh does not trust the man for his blatant declarations of being Garlean.<br />
*Learning that L'aenoh became part of Staelufre's "fury training", the man was wounded which upsets Jancis greatly.<br />
*Attended L'aenoh's bonding to Staelufre, hearing about a fight. In the end it all turned into word fluff, Jancis confirming it over and over.<br />
*During and after helping X'kohu with corrupted crystals embedded in his body, the man kisses Jancis and tries to hold her. L'aenoh keeps a keen eye on the other miqo'te. Jancis bothers her friend for romance novels, or 'warm books' to help her cope with the lack of love.<br />

♥ [[Lan Darklyn]] - The sword of the Harbingers and knight figure from the desert, Jancis ran into the man and (by chance) became fond of him. A semi-sad coincidence, Lan looks somewhat like Jancis' lost love, save for the short hair and sapphire eyes. The feelings were more complicated as she learned more of the man's past to nearly match with hyur fostering and training, as well as running into one another from short meetings long before. She nearly sees the man as the success she wanted for herself, and tries to assist the man in subtle ways so his life stays happy and prosperous unlike the 'twin' she fell in love with.

'''Past Events'''<br />
*Jancis met early on in her travels and re-met at the auction. To keep the man from being bid on by his subordinate, Jancis gave the highest bid.<br />

♥ [[Memeli Meli]] - One of the Coral Sea, Memeli has a crazy reputation for being a caring bold company kin and a diabolical arcanist of unquestionable power. Jancis usually tolerates the lady's antics and is used as a piece of furniture by her. In case the lalafel tries to either slap or lie to Jancis, she has gotten into the habit of grabbing Meli's hair. Their continued relationship improves and Jancis has found a very soft and supportive spot for the strangely sweet lady. "Lady Meli"<spoiler><br />

'''Past Events'''<br />
*''Meli the Primal'': After following along with another one of Memeli Meli pranks, many members are sent on a while goose chase for a riddling pantry thief. While "rewarding" Jancis, Meli's kiss leaves an enchantment that makes the conjurer obsess with the lalafel and her wishes.<br />
:*From the serious insistent urging of Jezune Garinthe, Jancis shakes off the spell and is left confused as to what happened.<br />
:*Later on, many others get entranced by Meli's trick and the company is forced to physically fight them to break the enchantment. Memeli gets grounded for her dangerous tricks.<br />

[[http://files.enjin.com.s3.amazonaws.com/623462/module_gallery/original/2147469.jpg Scene]]<br />
*Memeli is suffering, sleeping long times and having time lapses in memory. Searching her aether flow, the arcanist's body is flooded with a chaotic ramble of elemental aethers and none with her own distinctive natural mark on any of them. Realizing the woman has supplemented her own powers with random crystals, the fear of her contracting the same curse Dhemgeim had is alleviated. Working with Reinette to help purify the aether flow in Memeli, the condition clears up so the primal can return to her usual activities/schemes.[[http://files.enjin.com.s3.amazonaws.com/623462/module_gallery/original/2205273.jpg Scene]]<br />

<font style="color: #AC58FA" size="3">♥</font>&nbsp;[[Oscare Iono]] - A garish huntsman turned tragic figure, Jancis was really taken from his care and concern over Cici's exhaustion when they met.

She continues to watch and visit the man, despite how much his rejection upsets her, doing her best as he ends up running off. "Oscare" "Sir Iono"<spoiler><br />
[[File:Ffxiv_11012014_182920.png|200px|right]]<br />

'''Current Goals'''<br />
*Reply to Oscare's letter and remark about her 'magic trick'<br />
'''Past Events'''<br />
*Aged Rumor: ''"It's almost like Nophica herself blessed that girl with the power of eternal kindness. If I ever met a gal nicer than her, I think I may just faint."''<br />
*Jancis met Oscare at the Pumpkin Cafe while he was working as a bouncer along side Cici. Jancis was really taken from his care and concern over Cici's exhaustion, offering to walk them back to the city and giving up all his pay for a room at the inn.<br />
:*After meeting that time, Oscare would often come up behind Jancis and cover her eyes, asking her to guess who he was.<br />
:*After sending him a barrel of pears she picked to show gratitude to helping Cici, the man calls for Jancis over the Coral Linkshell. A ton of the company shows up for this meeting which intimidates the man, but Oscare ends up hugging Jancis and thanking her for the pears and gives her a picture book of his family.<br />
*Jancis had gotten involved with a friend's contract to find a thief. Not knowing the ultimate plans, she knows the man has taken an important heirloom of Oscare's. With Alveo agreeing to assist, she took it to pursue the problem and help the tall hunter. After finding out the man who stole the bow is known to Oscare's family, the man was found in a hideout in the Shroud. Oscare and Alveo took on the group and recovered the heirloom ending in a nasty fight.<br />
:*In a journal of family notes and pictures Oscare gave her, Jancis finds that in some of the pictures of Oscare and his dad, Oscare's dad was carrying a simple bow with a small piece of ruby on both ends of the bow. Overall, it looks like a standard longbow, but with gray and yellow stripes. Oscare's dad has the same skintone as Oscare, same purple eyes, and has vivid red hair.<br />
*After the Grindstone contest where Oscare lost control and tried to kill Hornet, Jancis was charged with caring for the man the night after. Able to visit him at the Agents' bar briefly, Jancis noticed the scarring around his eyes and the color of his eyes a startling violet. Her trust in the man dwindles as he continues to fail controlling himself.<br />
:*Oscare's comments over losing his memory with the Warrior Stone and his current mannerisms are recalling memories of another's actions and behavior, only to conflict Jancis all the more.<br />
:*Ran off crying "I'm sorry." Repeatedly. Jancis has written the Iono family, hoping they have some kind of recourse to comforting the hunter.<br />
:*Attempting to get others to assist in the troubles of the highlander, Jancis contacts Oscare's family for advice, the returning message is from Oscare himself in a very warm and confident letter asking to meet up with her.<br />
:*Meeting with him again, Jancis receives a beautiful rosewood crane figurine Oscare carved himself.<br />
:*Weeks after posters are put up around cities for a Starlight Ball, Oscare comes to the Coral household and, after some fiasco with injuries, Oscare manages to ask if Jancis requires an escort to the Ball in a very awkward and nervous manner. The day after he returns apologizing for asking her and, after remarking on her attire, vanishes again.<br />
::*Oscare attempts once again to ask the conjurer to the Ball, who is immediately snubbed by L'aenoh as he quickly debuffs the attempts by the highlander claiming he would escort the woman.<br />
::*At the Ball itself, Oscare avoids Jancis the entire night, despite her attempts to see him and even offered to dance. After the fact she arrives at his quarters to offer and is once again rebuked.<br />
*Oscare hosts a Story Time out in the cliffsides of La Noscea, where Jancis offers out snacks and tells a children's story about Minglo Moving the Mountain. [[http://i.imgur.com/VUm5jzl.jpg Scene]]<br />
:*Oscare drops off a card from his company, the Agents, thanking Jancis and her company for their assistance in a dispute and discord in their own halls.<br />
:*Getting advice from the bard [[Nathan Telluride]], Jancis once again attempts to help soften Oscare's demeanor and bring out the happy man she first met.<br />
:*[[https://soundcloud.com/akirakosemura/light-dance-with-violin Oscare arrives at the Still Shore in a navy blue suit and performs on the violin as a gift to Jancis.]] "I am happy." "That is also a gift." "Maybe I do it for a reason?" [[http://i.imgur.com/N4zg1nT.jpg Scene]]<br />
:*Oscare performs a song at Halone's pilgrimage which touches Jancis. Trying to hide over the impactful words with clapping, she overdoes it sending the man, once again, away.[[http://www.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=9784&pid=140707#pid140707 Scene and Song]]<br />
:*Coming to his quarters afterwards, Jancis is shown a magic trick with cards, and is given the Queen of Diamonds to hold onto while Oscare is in the field on a job.<br />
*[[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=10301&pid=150675#pid150675 Received a poem from Oscare by the Solioquy performed by Ciel.]]<br />
*Overhearing a bit of Oscare and some others at Leanne's party at the Bismarck, more people start coming to Jancis asking how the courtship is coming along and what Oscare is talking about. Trying to approach the man, along side Kale, both of them clam up.<br />
:*At the party before the hunter leaves, he gives her a ruby-colored box. The box itself lovely, inside is a very rare scarf made of aether-imbued silk which always has a warmth. [[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=5431&pid=144680#pid144680 Scene and Sketch]]<br />
*Working at the Grindstone, Oscare stops by with his face bruised and beaten. Jancis treats the nose and upper lip despite missing other wounds.[[http://i.imgur.com/DwobiX2.png Scene]]<br />
*Being told she can request his presence 'when she wishes', Jancis invites the highlander to the farmlands in La Noscea to show him a 'magic trick' which is more or less a conjurer training exercise with wind and water. The trick ultimately lures birds to come fly around Oscare in search of seeds. Calling it 'beautiful' he runs off quickly afterward instead of smiling as she hoped.<br />
*Called to the Goblet, Oscare presents her with a little mechanical toy she doesn't really understand beyond its amazing ability to spit out confetti and fanfare. A gift for Little Lady's Day. During so, he confirmed that his actions, gifts, and manner are a show of friendship and not an act of courtship.<br />

<font style="color: #AC58FA" size="3">♥</font>&nbsp;[[Otto Vann]] - An eccentric artist from Ul'dah, Jancis met the man while he was dressing one of her company members. By random chance the man continues to come to her for her opinion and now some of her work in dealing with concoctions. More concerned with the man's well-being, Jancis continues to learn and tolerate his extravagant lifestyle to get a glimpse of understanding this man's way of thinking. Very willing to help the man and is still amazed by the amount of detail the man can pay attention to; she cares deeply for the troubles that no one else seems privy to or could even fathom.

*''You Otto Know'': Jancis continues to run into the artist "by chance" and ends up having strange and endearing conversations with. The man's lifestyle is confusing for the conjurer, but she does what she can to help this, overall, good-natured highlander.<br />
:*Jancis is a part-time advisor for the man, trying as she might to make it more as a friendly favor than a paid service.<br />
:*Not finding gil to be overly valuable herself, Jancis continues to turn down the abundance of wealth Otto offers her.<br />
::*In lieu of monetary payment, Otto has gifted her a workspace consisting of a table, chairs, and some tools. He handmade a wardrobe from walnut and other Glade-natural wood and stocked it with a dress and other garments (she uses it for more storage like a pantry as well), and a quilted bed-like fur rug. Many plants as well.<br />
:*In connection with the Sultansworn, Otto asks for Jancis' knowledge and connections with [[Coatleque Crofte]].<br />
:*In a very kind gesture, Jancis has accepted his help in searching for her fiance, [[Alveo Soulseeker]], who hasn't been heard from in three months. Working with Otto's right-hand, [[Ridley Silverlake]] returns with news that Alveo's group was slain and the man is missing in action. She also provides other records of Alveo's activities, proving he has been moving and working beyond need to be away.<br />
:*Though uninterested in the outskirts of Coerthas, Jancis comes to support Otto's fighting ring in comforting fighters and assisting with wounds.<br />
:*Supplies Otto from time to time with a 'medicine' that consists of herbal concentrations of tea to assist the man in sleeping and keeping awake. The orbs are covered in chocolate and are almost more of a placebo as far as how potent the effects are.<br />
:*After the murder of his love, Anna, Jancis hopes to find a way to help the powerful man cope without acting on pure vengeance.<br />
:*Surprised with a luncheon treat, Otto takes Cici and Jancis out for finger sandwiches and pineapple juice on the beach of the Mist after Jancis' ordeal with the warehouse attack. Her body bruised and beaten, he insists she soaks in the shallows while he tells a random story of distraction. [[http://i.imgur.com/rqbJjHA.jpg Scene]]<br />
::*Talking about her own problems, Otto has heard about one of the people who attacked Jancis and how wants to know the other woman's name. Jancis shares what little she knows from Cici, and Otto fills in the other details that it was Jana Ridah among others responsible. [[http://i.imgur.com/1P3qBZH.jpg Scene]]<br />
:*Otto joins the Coral Sea's plight to cease the Leviathan's attack on the coastline and he gets wounded badly. Chaos ensues in the house, leaving Otto to deal with the pain with narcotics and semi-healing. Scarred by the show of weakness and embarrassment that the bruises and wounds would bring to a man of his status, he starts secretly training in lance-work pushing his body to extremes. Finally meeting up with the man, Jancis feels guilty and tries to apologize, but only ends up talking about other 'things of interest' like Leanne's heart and Jancis romantic situation with Z'enath.<br />
::*Doing some simple stretching massage for Otto to help deal with his pain, she continues to look for him in this training so he has time to recover. [[http://i.imgur.com/2JkowNt.jpg Scene]]<br />

♦ [[Renaud Becquerel]] - Captain of the Coral Sea. "Captain Renaud".<br><br />
♥ [[Reinette Sompt]] - Alchemist and the Practitioner of the Coral Sea, Jancis admires the pacifist for her determination and benevolence. She also delights in the many books belonging to the elezen woman. Jancis follows the lady's direction particularly in the welfare and care for the others in the company. "Lady Reinette"<spoiler><br />
'''Notes'''<br />
*Her right hand is severly burnt from what Jancis knows as a fireplace accident, though it is clear the wound has many layers of old scar tissue and neglect.<br />
*Keeps notes and records of her lost mentor which shocked and tramatized the woman severely. Jancis knows the man had a tragic ending (though in reality he was tested on victims and the like which has eluded the conjurer's knowledge and leads her astray in comforting the woman.)<br />
'''Current Goals'''<br />
*Make good on Reinette's offer to pray together, given after the pilgrimage to [[Nald'thal, the Trader]].<br />
*Try to mend the wounds between the lady and her love with neglect and selfishness.<br />

*Jancis protected from a slaver, the 'papper'. While her and many others posed as slaves to find the whereabouts of [[Chuchukepa Hohokepa]]'s mother, one was harrassing Reinette to the point that Jancis stepped in and 'fought' off the woman for the man's attentions. After being successful and fight broke out and Jancis conjured a large boulder upon the man which ended up causing fatal damage. Surprised at the outcome of not disabling the man, Jancis still feels remorse for the encounter, but heartened that Reinette was not forced into the situation more.<br />
*Prayer leader for pilgrimages to [[Lore:The Twelve|the Twelves' stones]] including Nald'thal and Nophica.<br />
*Assisted with dealing with [[Memeli Meli]]'s aether condition, which had bad timing with the First Mate's death and instilled fear that the curse passed on to the lalafell. Sitting in a simple ceremony of purified soil and crystals, Jancis was able to channel aether to clear out Memeli's flow from all the toxic randomness she sucked in before.</spoiler>♦ [[Roen Deneith]] - Introduced through Cici. Member in Coral Sea. Heard stories of her imprisonment and how she was found. Met at the Grindstone. "Lady Deneith"<br><br />
♦ [[Sigurd Rainecourt]] - Thaumaturge of the Coral Sea, Jancis views the man with regard for his intelligence and natural ability to reason with just about anyone. She holds more empathy and compassion for the man after being used as a scapegoat for Lady Dhemgeim's death on top of the mysterious tragic past the man has only mentioned before. Jancis listens to him for his eloquence and ability to haggle/barter any deal as well as his abilities to coerce others. "Master Sigurd" "Sigurd"<spoiler><br />

Asking about it again, he has tried to send the lady cards and gifts of fruit and offers to spend time with her to no reply. Jancis asks Reinette about her quiet behavior, encouraging the woman to at least tell him she needs time.<br />
*Support him after being alienated and despised by the majority of the company.<br />
*Follow-up with him in hoping he can assist with Gwenoline's mark on Jancis. Taking time in the deepest halls of the Ossuary, the man remarkably finds an ancient book talking of a Gwendolyn and her succubus-style abilities.<br />
'''Past Events'''<br />
*Prayer leader for pilgrimages to [[Lore:The Twelve|the Twelves' stones]] for Nald'thal.<br />
*Put in charge from the Ossuary to follow-up on certain Primal threats, including having two organized teams to deal with an attack on the shore of La Noscea.<br />

:*A wall falling on the mysterious tower by Bronze Lake, dubbed the Wanderer's Palace, the group runs across a siege by saragin on a small group of tonberries which somewhat disrupts the groups' goal to find Chachanji's lost brother.<br />
*Got to assist searching for the mysterious Maelstrom officer Derrick Drake which led the two, along with Tausen and Monty, on a whilwind chase that ran into a crazy highlander with a trust in manly muscles. Surprisingly, Sigurd was no slouch and was forced to flex to earn enough reputation to continue the search.<br />
*During the terrible ordeal of trying to find a cure for Lady Dhemgeim's condition, a spell is used in quick timing which fails, taking the woman's life. Blamed for the death, Sigurd is put on trial for disobeying a direct order. Viewing everyone's pain and anger being directed at the mage as a means to making him a scapegoat for the numerous complications, Jancis defends the man bringing up the moral obligation he had to at least attempt to save the dying First Mate.<br />

♦ [[Staelufre Lysmerl]] - The wild lady and namesake of the Coral Sea's home. Over time Jancis has grown grateful and closer to the Staelufre after the ordeals her lover and the advice they have given one another. Admires her initiative and bravery to make life better for everyone around her. Does not agree with her ways of handling problems, particular for her violent nature. "Lady Staelufre"<spoiler><br />

♠ [[Tasa Rhyzul]] - The hardened warrior with a subtle softer side, Jancis met Tasa while preparing with the company to save their leader. Despite Tasa's brash demeanor, she is a wise woman with a lot of heart and patience for the less experienced and has earned quite a bit of Jancis' respect. She is technically the warrior's indentured servant as she pays back a debt and is bidden to comply with any requests Tasa makes, though the lady does not enforce it. Believed dead.<spoiler><br />
[[File:Tasapic.png|200px|right]]<br />
'''Past Events'''<br />
*Meeting the warrior, Tasa becomes a love and confident of Cici, and Jancis comes along on different training and rituals between the two including sparring with Sir Filangieri, soaking at the hot springs, and drinking endeavors.<br />
*Looking to relieve Alveo of all the debt he has accrued, Tasa agrees to repay the majority of it from her vast amount of wealth. Jancis feels a need to repay Lady Tasa for her generosity and kindness. Convinced the warrior isn't actually pushing for reimbursement, she looks for other ways to be loyal and giving. <br />
:*After Lady Tasa effectively "proposed" to Jancis, the conjurer feels that she's not obligated to help the warrior out of a gil contract and more to be kind in general.

Z'enath nearly lost his eye in preventing a drunken scuffle between two other Wood Wailers that she was able to heal and restore in time. Continuing their correspondence, the two piece together their memories and trade shows of gratitude to one another.<br />
:*After meeting, Jancis offers to assist Z'enath in a job he took on from a group of ruffian bandits that were laying waste to small hovels.

:*Randomly running into Cici speaking with Sir Evans, the gladiator asks Jancis to help him pick out some clothing for the upcoming Starlight Ball. After many bells and watching the man put on a random assortment of clothes the two manage to find something deemed appropriate for the gala. The entire time, Jancis finds the man a big awe-inspiring for having a freedom from such cultural boundaries but accepting of them at the same time, listening to his stories of his large family and their Feastday practices, and the reason for all this work is to give an unknown woman at the time the night of her life before he leaves. [[http://i.imgur.com/HemTowO.jpg Scene]]<br />
::*A distress call goes out on the Red Wings' linkpearl and Zachary bolts off, beckoning Jancis to follow in his finery, to find [[Erik Mynhier]] cursed by a mysterious time magic returning the older paladin to his youthful mind and appearance.

[[http://i.imgur.com/Mrou6rU.jpg Scene]]<br />
::*On other visits to Cici, Jancis continues to run into Zachary getting help from the lady knight, including dance lessons and an exclamation to spar with her to prove his worth.<br />
::*After listening, Zachary explains he has had dreams of the missing warriors from the Calamity and believes he can find them in the void. This only worries and upsets Jancis, especially since he has so much family that a gamble of himself is too high of a stake, but her concerns are quelled by the man's resolve. [[http://i.imgur.com/CLjOFpD.jpg Scene]]<br />
:*The night of the Starlight Ball arrives, only to find that Siha is escorted by another man for the night. Giving some words of encouragement, Jancis manages to persuade Zachary to at least dance with the lady of his affection and be honest with her.<br />
::*Despite other fine garments available for the occasion made available a shops closer to the ball than before, the gladiator still wears the items Jancis purchased before much to her surprise.<br />
::*Later in the evening, Zachary gives Jancis a rest from hosting and they friends dance together. The conjurer fails in an opportunity to help the man have the dance he actually sought, even preparing to sing a song in particular for the occasion.<br />

[[File:QIvPuyu.jpg|225px|right]]<br />
Jancis Milburga was born as Lleuedwyn Fishcot, daughter of a middle-class merchant family. The Fishcots were known for their ability to export fish and were a successful travelling merchants. Misfortune came upon them on a trade route in the northern part of the Twelveswood; their caravan was overrun by scouting soldiers looking for monks from Ala Mhigo.<br />
<br />
The Rest of the family murdered in the heretic hunt, the toddler Lleuedwyn was left to die in the woods. The soldiers had not been far off, refugees from Ala Mhigo as supporters of the monks escaped before persecution had been near the caravan. Coming to salvage what was left, they found Lleuedwyn and kept her as an asset to survive. Hiding out in the dawn of war, they found a secluded cavern deep in the Shroud protected by the Elements and the Woodswrath because they were caring for a child of the woods.<br />
<br />
The highlanders were known as "Guardian" and "Shaman Milburga". Lleuedwyn was referred to strictly as "Child" and taught basics of survival, given books, and even taken into close villages with a mask and large clothing. She was mostly secluded from interacting with others and learned most of what she knew in the world from books or overhearing her two "protectors". As she grew into adolescence Shaman Milburga began to teach the child how to feel and understand the elements; partly to continue their protected place in the woods but also as a means for the girl to take care of herself later on in life.<br />
<br />
From one of the many books Jancis picked out her own name and became more restless with the lack of interaction that she had so often read about. Over time she became more aware of her situation, the fate of her parents, and a limited recollection that she was an orphan. She became more adventurous and gathered items from her 'secret outings'. Caught on several outings, Guardian decided their time was up in the seclusion and the war had left more refugees around Gridania.<br />
<br />
Giving her some supplies, Jancis was left out on the road with instructions to find the city and appeal to the generosity of the Conjurer's Guild. For about five years she worked for room and board while studying the art of conjuring and is now at the point to explore the world and build her future.<br><br />

:*♪The way that you love dear, the fate of the world you leave behind ♪ A way to the future, making a moment built to last ♪ You want to love, well now's your chance ♪ "To me, Jancis is someone full of opposites. She is strong, and gentle. She is withdrawn, but extroverted. There is so much honesty within her, but she's mysterious in her quiet nature. The clearest thing I've ever seen about Jancis is how she loves. She loves everyone, good and bad, because they are people and to her that is the most important of all the things. Jancis is someone who wears her heart on her sleeve, and is strong enough not to let it get broken by the world. The slow but up-beat tune of this song suits her to me. I love the way it goes up and down, because I feel Jancis must have had a lot of hardships in her life. But overall, this song is full of hope."<br />
