<p>"Life has shown me the sweetest love, and greatest sorrows." </p><br />
<br><br />
<p>Malcom is a character written with a few guiding principles in mind. His is a story based in the ideas of personal redemption, of balancing mercy and vengeance, and the tests of character for a man who has experienced great loss after having the life he fought for. The character is meant to be a testament to the stoicism and determination of a person that refuses to be beaten down by the terrible things that life has thrown their way, and does their best to savor the good moments when they arrive. He is flawed, hypocritical, and the intention when writing him is to present a believable character that can serve in a supporting role, or leading man, depending on the story around him.</p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">The Highlander sports a heavy build, is broad shouldered and well-muscled with greying hair and teal eyes. Add to that a stern demeanor that belies his friendly nature and it's not uncommon that he comes across as standoffish or brusque from a look. Finishing at half fulm past six while weighing around two-hundred and seventy ponze, only a fair sized Au Ra or Roegyden give the mercenary pause when it comes to physical presence, and he certainly makes up the difference with attitude and presentation.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />
:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Presentation & Attire''</div><br />
<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Favoring tighter, functional clothing that doesn't restrict movement and breathes well, Malcom's attire has him at home on the sea or in the desert, sensible considering Limsa and Ul'dah both are where he spends most of his time and coin. The Highlander prefers utility over flair, but given the opportunity he has no qualms about dressing for attention and the dramatic.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Rough around the edges and impulsive are a common first impression Malcom. The man is not shy about going after what he wants and has a direct manner that can be off-putting to many. Inherently, however, he has a respect for others and especially those who show a strength of character. That is not to be mistaken for a disregard for the weak as a traumatic past has left him sympathetic to those who suffer, and Malcom takes opportunity to build people up where and when he can if they are looking for that support. </div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Poisons make a deadly and easy addition to any arsenal and Malcom is no exception to this avenue of assured victory. A healthy curiosity for easily dispatching his foes led the man to lean on alchemical means of advantage which over time Malcom developed with curiosity from a hobby into... a more expensive hobby. Despite his imposing appearance the man sports an insatiable desire for knowledge, and Alchemy fed this. Malcom moved from a helpless dabbler to an adept and spends a fair share of his off time perusing markets and trade for unique ingredients to produce unique potions as a result. Experimentation and whim are the direction his 'work' in this hobby take and he is just as keen to create something that's an experience to be had as he is to make helpful tinctures.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Malcom is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group when the circumstances present themselves. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Sixth Sense'''<br />
<p> Old mercenaries are a rarity, and for good reason. Working in a dangerous field, Malcom is not just some swaddled adventurer but a full blown sellsword who has seen enough of the world to have a good sense for when things are about to go sideways. Call it intuition, call it luck, call it a gut feeling, but when Mal says he thinks something bad is about to happen... he's not far off the mark. If you see him running, don't ask questions. Just try not to fall behind him.</p><br />
<br><br />
<!-- COMBAT ABILITIES --><br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">'''Combat'''</div><br />
<br />
'''Grit'''<br />
<p>Pain is something people avoid. Generally it's a great indicator that a situation has gone sideways and a survival feeling that tells most people that whatever they're doing, they need to stop. For Malcom, however, this natural instinct has been well subverted throughout the years. It turns out if you subject yourself to enough excruciating instances of negative feedback you get used to it. For the most part. Highlander gumption combined with an innate fortitude has allowed Malcom to build up a tolerance to blows and injuries that might bring a lesser man to their knees. Of course most medical professions contend that this isn't a <i>good</i> thing, since it can lead to further injury. Malcom will take their opinion under advisement. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>The frontlines are a place that favors a soldier that can think on their feet to win, and especially those that are willing to go the distance to ensure such. Some might mock poisons, or extol the virtues of honorable combat, but Malcom does not throw in with that lot. Survival, and winning, are all that matters to the man when he undertakes a task. Though he won't kick a man when he's down, the Highlander will use any method it takes to bring said man down, adapting on the fly to his opponent's style with anything and everything in his arsenal.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Strength'''<br />
<p>Not just might, but magical as well. The Ala Mhigan boasts endurance and fortitude when it comes to the aetheric and physical and has held his own against great beasts and mages. Though he'll never rival the truly masterful in the arts of the arcane, a natural knack for weaving aether with his combat makes Malcom a balanced fighter. A magicked bullet or imbued sword that cleans straight through heavy plating is worth its weight in gold.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Ala Mhigo had always been rife with conflict and violence throughout its history and Malcom was at home in that culture. His youth was uneventful, his parents fair, and the Highlander took a somewhat honorable path in enlisting with the standing armies of the City-State to keep his homeland safe. However as Garlean forces began their march towards Eorzea and launched their conquest with the borders of Ala Mhigo his enlistment became anything but routine.<br><br>Theodoric made it all the worse. With the Mad King destabilizing everything that Ala Mhigo had fought to earn, Malcom found his role as a guardian increasingly challenged with orders he dissented from. The fall of Theodoric is well known, but the fate of Ala Mhigo's men-at-arms less so. Conscripted into service for the Garlean Viceroy that now occupied the strife ridden city, Malcom went from one cruel master to another.<br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Never one content to sit and let fate direct his path, Malcom bided his time. Too much was at stake to flee initially; the endeavor was not something to be undertaken lightly. However change happens when we least expect it, and from sorrow opportunity arose. With naught left to keep him tied to Ala Mhigo, and the revulsion of his people at the Garlean uniform he wore, Malcom gave up everything and made a desperate attempt to escape. Naught could stand between the man and his freedom, hard won with manipulation and brute force until he finally found himself on the other side of Baelsar's Wall. Near death, but free. </font></div><br><br />

Brought back from the brink of death and left to his own devices after, Malcom began walking the long road that he had chosen. Refugees from Ala Mhigo had flooded Ul'dah and the difficulty of taking care of one's self was evident from the beginning. Casting aside his past and letting the label of 'sellsword' be enough of an answer for any who asked the Highlander began to carve out his niche. Brutally effective in his chosen role, Malcom has made a small name for himself as a man who can solve any problem. For the right price. </font></div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. <br />
<br> <br />
: ■ <b>Seeking Work:</b> Malcom has a reputation for picking up most any job. Guarding a caravan, long term sea shipments, cleaning out a cave of untowardly Spriggans, you name it and pay for it, he'll do it.<br />
: ■ <b>Alchemy:</b> What started off as a casual dabbling for an extra edge in a fight with poisons became a full blown hobby that he enjoys when he can. Though he doesn't operate as a full apothecary, he is not shy about selling what he has made.<br />
: ■ <b>Pit Fighting:</b> If you're a frequent fighter, or attendee, you may recognized his scarred face and steely teal eyes.<br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay.

I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />

<p>"Life has shown me the sweetest love, and greatest sorrows." </p><br />
<br><br />
<p>Malcom is a character written with a few guiding principles in mind. His is a story based in the ideas of personal redemption, of balancing mercy and vengeance, and the tests of character for a man who has experienced great loss after having the life he fought for. The character is meant to be a testament to the stoicism and determination of a person that refuses to be beaten down by the terrible things that life has thrown their way, and does their best to savor the good moments when they arrive. He is flawed, hypocritical, and the intention when writing him is to present a believable character that can serve in a supporting role, or leading man, depending on the story around him.</p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">The Highlander sports a heavy build, is broad shouldered and well-muscled with greying hair and teal eyes. Add to that a stern demeanor that belies his friendly nature and it's not uncommon that he comes across as standoffish or brusque from a look. Finishing at half fulm past six while weighing around two-hundred and seventy ponze, only a fair sized Au Ra or Roegyden give the mercenary pause when it comes to physical presence, and he certainly makes up the difference with attitude and presentation.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />
:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Presentation & Attire''</div><br />
<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Favoring tighter, functional clothing that doesn't restrict movement and breathes well, Malcom's attire has him at home on the sea or in the desert, sensible considering Limsa and Ul'dah both are where he spends most of his time and coin. The Highlander prefers utility over flair, but given the opportunity he has no qualms about dressing for attention and the dramatic.</div><br />
<br><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Rough around the edges and impulsive are a common first impression Malcom. The man is not shy about going after what he wants and has a direct manner that can be off-putting to many. Inherently, however, he has a respect for others and especially those who show a strength of character. That is not to be mistaken for a disregard for the weak as a traumatic past has left him sympathetic to those who suffer, and Malcom takes opportunity to build people up where and when he can if they are looking for that support. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Somewhere between a low baritone and higher bass, age and experience along with more than a few attempts at suffocating the man have left his voice with a distinct rasp underlying his speech.</div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Poisons make a deadly and easy addition to any arsenal and Malcom is no exception to this avenue of assured victory. A healthy curiosity for easily dispatching his foes led the man to lean on alchemical means of advantage which over time Malcom developed with curiosity from a hobby into... a more expensive hobby. Despite his imposing appearance the man sports an insatiable desire for knowledge, and Alchemy fed this. Malcom moved from a helpless dabbler to an adept and spends a fair share of his off time perusing markets and trade for unique ingredients to produce unique potions as a result. Experimentation and whim are the direction his 'work' in this hobby take and he is just as keen to create something that's an experience to be had as he is to make helpful tinctures.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Malcom is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group when the circumstances present themselves. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Sixth Sense'''<br />
<p> Old mercenaries are a rarity, and for good reason. Working in a dangerous field, Malcom is not just some swaddled adventurer but a full blown sellsword who has seen enough of the world to have a good sense for when things are about to go sideways. Call it intuition, call it luck, call it a gut feeling, but when Mal says he thinks something bad is about to happen... he's not far off the mark. If you see him running, don't ask questions. Just try not to fall behind him.</p><br />
<br><br />
<!-- COMBAT ABILITIES --><br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">'''Combat'''</div><br />
<br />
'''Grit'''<br />
<p>Pain is something people avoid. Generally it's a great indicator that a situation has gone sideways and a survival feeling that tells most people that whatever they're doing, they need to stop. For Malcom, however, this natural instinct has been well subverted throughout the years. It turns out if you subject yourself to enough excruciating instances of negative feedback you get used to it. For the most part. Highlander gumption combined with an innate fortitude has allowed Malcom to build up a tolerance to blows and injuries that might bring a lesser man to their knees. Of course most medical professions contend that this isn't a <i>good</i> thing, since it can lead to further injury. Malcom will take their opinion under advisement. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>The frontlines are a place that favors a soldier that can think on their feet to win, and especially those that are willing to go the distance to ensure such. Some might mock poisons, or extol the virtues of honorable combat, but Malcom does not throw in with that lot. Survival, and winning, are all that matters to the man when he undertakes a task. Though he won't kick a man when he's down, the Highlander will use any method it takes to bring said man down, adapting on the fly to his opponent's style with anything and everything in his arsenal.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Strength'''<br />
<p>Not just might, but magical as well. The Ala Mhigan boasts endurance and fortitude when it comes to the aetheric and physical and has held his own against great beasts and mages. Though he'll never rival the truly masterful in the arts of the arcane, a natural knack for weaving aether with his combat makes Malcom a balanced fighter. A magicked bullet or imbued sword that cleans straight through heavy plating is worth its weight in gold.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Ala Mhigo had always been rife with conflict and violence throughout its history and Malcom was at home in that culture. His youth was uneventful, his parents fair, and the Highlander took a somewhat honorable path in enlisting with the standing armies of the City-State to keep his homeland safe. However as Garlean forces began their march towards Eorzea and launched their conquest with the borders of Ala Mhigo his enlistment became anything but routine.<br><br>Theodoric made it all the worse. With the Mad King destabilizing everything that Ala Mhigo had fought to earn and Malcom found his role as a guardian increasingly challenged with orders he dissented from. The fall of Theodoric is well known, but the fate of Ala Mhigo's men-at-arms less so. Conscripted into service for the Garlean Viceroy that now occupied the strife ridden city, Malcom went from one cruel master to another.<br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Never one content to sit and let fate direct his path, Malcom bided his time. Too much was at stake to flee initially; the endeavor was not something to be undertaken lightly. However change happens when we least expect it, and from sorrow opportunity arose. With naught left to keep him tied to Ala Mhigo, and the revulsion of his people at the Garlean uniform he wore, Malcom gave up everything and made a desperate attempt to escape. Naught could stand between the man and his freedom, hard won with manipulation and brute force until he finally found himself on the other side of Baelsar's Wall. Near death, but free. </font></div><br><br />

Brought back from the brink of death and left to his own devices after, Malcom began walking the long road that he had chosen. Refugees from Ala Mhigo had flooded Ul'dah and the difficulty of taking care of one's self was evident from the beginning. Casting aside his past and letting the label of 'sellsword' be enough of an answer for any who asked the Highlander began to carve out his niche. Brutally effective in his chosen role, Malcom has made a small name for himself as a man who can solve any problem. For the right price. </font></div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. There are key parts of his backstory that have been left out intentionally, and this is not the full history of my character. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay. Stories are not built over night and rapports are developed over time, and I'm keen on slowly building these foundations for greater stories with people interested in the same. I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />

<p>"Life has shown me the sweetest love, and greatest sorrows." </p><br />
<br><br />
<p>Malcom is a character written with a few guiding principles in mind. His is a story based in the ideas of personal redemption, of balancing mercy and vengeance, and the tests of character for a man who has experienced great loss after having the life he fought for. The character is meant to be a testament to the stoicism and determination of a person that refuses to be beaten down by the terrible things that life has thrown their way, and does their best to savor the good moments when they arrive. He is flawed, hypocritical, and the intention when writing him is to present a believable character that can serve in a supporting role, or leading man, depending on the story around him.</p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">The Highlander sports a heavy build, is broad shouldered and well-muscled with greying hair and teal eyes. Add to that a stern demeanor that belies his friendly nature and it's not uncommon that he comes across as standoffish or brusque from a look. Finishing at half fulm past six while weighing around two-hundred and seventy ponze, only a fair sized Au Ra or Roegyden give the mercenary pause when it comes to physical presence, and he certainly makes up the difference with attitude and presentation.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Favoring tighter, functional clothing that doesn't restrict movement and breathes well, Malcom's attire has him at home on the sea or in the desert, sensible considering Limsa and Ul'dah both are where he spends most of his time and coin. The Highlander prefers utility over flair, but given the opportunity he has no qualms about dressing for attention and the dramatic.</div><br />

Inherently, however, he has a respect for others and especially those who show a strength of character. That is not to be mistaken for a disregard for the weak as a traumatic past has left him sympathetic to those who suffer, and Malcom takes opportunity to build people up where and when he can if they are looking for that support. </div><br />

'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Poisons make a deadly and easy addition to any arsenal and Malcom is no exception to this avenue of assured victory. A healthy curiosity for easily dispatching his foes led the man to lean on alchemical means of advantage which over time Malcom developed with curiosity from a hobby into... a more expensive hobby. Despite his imposing appearance the man sports an insatiable desire for knowledge, and Alchemy fed this. Malcom moved from a helpless dabbler to an adept and spends a fair share of his off time perusing markets and trade for unique ingredients to produce unique potions as a result. Experimentation and whim are the direction his 'work' in this hobby take and he is just as keen to create something that's an experience to be had as he is to make helpful tinctures.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Malcom is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group when the circumstances present themselves. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Sixth Sense'''<br />
<p> Old mercenaries are a rarity, and for good reason. Working in a dangerous field, Malcom is not just some swaddled adventurer but a full blown sellsword who has seen enough of the world to have a good sense for when things are about to go sideways. Call it intuition, call it luck, call it a gut feeling, but when Mal says he thinks something bad is about to happen... he's not far off the mark. If you see him running, don't ask questions. Just try not to fall behind him.</p><br />
<br><br />
<!-- COMBAT ABILITIES --><br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">'''Combat'''</div><br />
<br />
'''Grit'''<br />
<p>Pain is something people avoid. Generally it's a great indicator that a situation has gone sideways and a survival feeling that tells most people that whatever they're doing, they need to stop. For Malcom, however, this natural instinct has been well subverted throughout the years. It turns out if you subject yourself to enough excruciating instances of negative feedback you get used to it. For the most part. Highlander gumption combined with an innate fortitude has allowed Malcom to build up a tolerance to blows and injuries that might bring a lesser man to their knees. Of course most medical professions contend that this isn't a <i>good</i> thing, since it can lead to further injury. Malcom will take their opinion under advisement. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>The frontlines are a place that favors a soldier that can think on their feet to win, and especially those that are willing to go the distance to ensure such. Some might mock poisons, or extol the virtues of honorable combat, but Malcom does not throw in with that lot. Survival, and winning, are all that matters to the man when he undertakes a task. Though he won't kick a man when he's down, the Highlander will use any method it takes to bring said man down, adapting on the fly to his opponent's style with anything and everything in his arsenal.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Strength'''<br />
<p>Not just might, but magical as well. The Ala Mhigan boasts endurance and fortitude when it comes to the aetheric and physical and has held his own against great beasts and mages. Though he'll never rival the truly masterful in the arts of the arcane, a natural knack for weaving aether with his combat makes Malcom a balanced fighter. A magicked bullet or imbued sword that cleans straight through heavy plating is worth its weight in gold.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Ala Mhigo had always been rife with conflict and violence throughout its history and Malcom was at home in that culture. His youth was uneventful, his parents fair, and the Highlander took a somewhat honorable path in enlisting with the standing armies of the City-State to keep his homeland safe. However as Garlean forces began their march towards Eorzea and launched their conquest with the borders of Ala Mhigo his enlistment became anything but routine.<br><br>Theodoric made it all the worse. With the Mad King destabilizing everything that Ala Mhigo had fought to earn and Malcom found his role as a guardian increasingly challenged with orders he dissented from. The fall of Theodoric is well known, but the fate of Ala Mhigo's men-at-arms less so. Conscripted into service for the Garlean Viceroy that now occupied the strife ridden city, Malcom went from one cruel master to another.<br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Never one content to sit and let fate direct his path, Malcom bided his time. Too much was at stake to flee initially; the endeavor was not something to be undertaken lightly. However change happens when we least expect it, and from sorrow opportunity arose. With naught left to keep him tied to Ala Mhigo, and the revulsion of his people at the Garlean uniform he wore, Malcom gave up everything and made a desperate attempt to escape. Naught could stand between the man and his freedom, hard won with manipulation and brute force until he finally found himself on the other side of Baelsar's Wall. Near death, but free. </font></div><br><br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Though Gridania is not known for their love of Ala Mhigans a few passing Wood Wailers took pity on the suffering man as he lay bleeding out in the Shroud. Brought back from the brink of death and left to his own devices after, Malcom began walking the long road that he had chosen. Refugees from Ala Mhigo had flooded Ul'dah and the difficulty of taking care of one's self was evident from the beginning. Casting aside his past and letting the label of 'sellsword' be enough of an answer for any who asked the Highlander began to carve out his niche. Brutally effective in his chosen role, Malcom has made a small name for himself as a man who can solve any problem. For the right price. </font></div><br />

Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. <br />
<br> <br />
: ■ <b>Seeking Work:</b> Malcom has a reputation for picking up most any job. Guarding a caravan, long term sea shipments, cleaning out a cave of untowardly Spriggans, you name it and pay for it, he'll do it.<br />
: ■ <b>Alchemy:</b> What started off as a casual dabbling for an extra edge in a fight with poisons became a full blown hobby that he enjoys when he can. Though he doesn't operate as a full apothecary, he is not shy about selling what he has made.<br />
: ■ <b>Pit Fighting:</b> If you're a frequent fighter, or attendee, you may recognized his scarred face and steely teal eyes.<br />

<p>"Life has shown me the sweetest love, and greatest sorrows." </p><br />
<br><br />
<p>Malcom is a character written with a few guiding principles in mind. His is a story based in the ideas of personal redemption, of balancing mercy and vengeance, and the tests of character for a man who has experienced great loss after having the life he fought for. The character is meant to be a testament to the stoicism and determination of a person that refuses to be beaten down by the terrible things that life has thrown their way, and does their best to savor the good moments when they arrive. He is flawed, hypocritical, and the intention when writing him is to present a believable character that can serve in a supporting role, or leading man, depending on the story around him.</p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">The Highlander sports a heavy build, is broad shouldered and well-muscled with greying hair and teal eyes. Add to that a stern demeanor that belies his friendly nature and it's not uncommon that he comes across as standoffish or brusque from a look. Finishing at half fulm past six while weighing around two-hundred and seventy ponze, only a fair sized Au Ra or Roegyden give the mercenary pause when it comes to physical presence, and he certainly makes up the difference with attitude and presentation.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Favoring tighter, functional clothing that doesn't restrict movement and breathes well, Malcom's attire has him at home on the sea or in the desert, sensible considering Limsa and Ul'dah both are where he spends most of his time and coin. The Highlander prefers utility over flair, but given the opportunity he has no qualms about dressing for attention and the dramatic.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Rough around the edges and impulsive are a common first impression Malcom. The man is not shy about going after what he wants and has a direct manner that can be off-putting to many. Inherently, however, he has a respect for others and especially those who show a strength of character. That is not to be mistaken for a disregard for the weak as a traumatic past has left him sympathetic to those who suffer, and Malcom takes opportunity to build people up where and when he can if they are looking for that support. </div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Poisons make a deadly and easy addition to any arsenal and Malcom is no exception to this avenue of assured victory. A healthy curiosity for easily dispatching his foes led the man to lean on alchemical means of advantage which over time Malcom developed with curiosity from a hobby into... a more expensive hobby. Despite his imposing appearance the man sports an insatiable desire for knowledge, and Alchemy fed this. Malcom moved from a helpless dabbler to an adept and spends a fair share of his off time perusing markets and trade for unique ingredients to produce unique potions as a result. Experimentation and whim are the direction his 'work' in this hobby take and he is just as keen to create something that's an experience to be had as he is to make helpful tinctures.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Malcom is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group when the circumstances present themselves. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Sixth Sense'''<br />
<p> Old mercenaries are a rarity, and for good reason. Working in a dangerous field, Malcom is not just some swaddled adventurer but a full blown sellsword who has seen enough of the world to have a good sense for when things are about to go sideways. Call it intuition, call it luck, call it a gut feeling, but when Mal says he thinks something bad is about to happen... he's not far off the mark. If you see him running, don't ask questions. Just try not to fall behind him.</p><br />
<br><br />
<!-- COMBAT ABILITIES --><br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">'''Combat'''</div><br />
<br />
'''Grit'''<br />
<p>Pain is something people avoid. Generally it's a great indicator that a situation has gone sideways and a survival feeling that tells most people that whatever they're doing, they need to stop. For Malcom, however, this natural instinct has been well subverted throughout the years. It turns out if you subject yourself to enough excruciating instances of negative feedback you get used to it. For the most part. Highlander gumption combined with an innate fortitude has allowed Malcom to build up a tolerance to blows and injuries that might bring a lesser man to their knees. Of course most medical professions contend that this isn't a <i>good</i> thing, since it can lead to further injury. Malcom will take their opinion under advisement. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>The frontlines are a place that favors a soldier that can think on their feet to win, and especially those that are willing to go the distance to ensure such. Some might mock poisons, or extol the virtues of honorable combat, but Malcom does not throw in with that lot. Survival, and winning, are all that matters to the man when he undertakes a task. Though he won't kick a man when he's down, the Highlander will use any method it takes to bring said man down, adapting on the fly to his opponent's style with anything and everything in his arsenal.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Strength'''<br />
<p>Not just might, but magical as well. The Ala Mhigan boasts endurance and fortitude when it comes to the aetheric and physical and has held his own against great beasts and mages. Though he'll never rival the truly masterful in the arts of the arcane, a natural knack for weaving aether with his combat makes Malcom a balanced fighter. A magicked bullet or imbued sword that cleans straight through heavy plating is worth its weight in gold.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Ala Mhigo had always been rife with conflict and violence throughout its history and Malcom was at home in that culture. His youth was uneventful, his parents fair, and the Highlander took a somewhat honorable path in enlisting with the standing armies of the City-State to keep his homeland safe. However as Garlean forces began their march towards Eorzea and launched their conquest with the borders of Ala Mhigo his enlistment became anything but routine.<br><br>Theodoric made it all the worse. With the Mad King destabilizing everything that Ala Mhigo had fought to earn and Malcom found his role as a guardian increasingly challenged with orders he dissented from. The fall of Theodoric is well known, but the fate of Ala Mhigo's men-at-arms less so. Conscripted into service for the Garlean Viceroy that now occupied the strife ridden city, Malcom went from one cruel master to another.<br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Never one content to sit and let fate direct his path, Malcom bided his time. Too much was at stake to flee initially; the endeavor was not something to be undertaken lightly. However change happens when we least expect it, and from sorrow opportunity arose. With naught left to keep him tied to Ala Mhigo, and the revulsion of his people at the Garlean uniform he wore, Malcom gave up everything and made a desperate attempt to escape. Naught could stand between the man and his freedom, hard won with manipulation and brute force until he finally found himself on the other side of Baelsar's Wall. Near death, but free. </font></div><br><br />

Brought back from the brink of death and left to his own devices after, Malcom began walking the long road that he had chosen. Refugees from Ala Mhigo had flooded Ul'dah and the difficulty of taking care of one's self was evident from the beginning. Casting aside his past and letting the label of 'sellsword' be enough of an answer for any who asked the Highlander began to carve out his niche. Brutally effective in his chosen role, Malcom has made a small name for himself as a man who can solve any problem. For the right price. </font></div><br />

: ■ <b>Ul'dah/Limsa:</b> The main places for a good mercenary to pick up work. Malcom frequents between both city-states.<br />

: ■ <b>Across the Pond:</b> Not bound to just Eorzea, the man has made trips far and wide in his time. He's no stranger to Kugane, though beyond that is questionable.<br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. <br />
<br> <br />
: ■ <b>Seeking Work:</b> Malcom has a reputation for picking up most any job. Guarding a caravan, long term sea shipments, cleaning out a cave of untowardly Spriggans, you name it and pay for it, he'll do it.<br />
: ■ <b>Alchemy:</b> What started off as a casual dabbling for an extra edge in a fight with poisons became a full blown hobby that he enjoys when he can. Though he doesn't operate as a full apothecary, he is not shy about selling what he has made.<br />
: ■ <b>Pit Fighting:</b> If you're a frequent fighter, or attendee, you may recognized his scarred face and steely teal eyes.<br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay.

I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />

<p>"Life has shown me the sweetest love, and greatest sorrows." </p><br />
<br><br />
<p>Malchior is a character written with a few guiding principles in mind. His is a story based in the ideas of personal redemption, of balancing mercy and vengeance, and the tests of character for a man who has experienced great loss after having the life he fought for. The character is meant to be a testament to the stoicism and determination of a person that refuses to be beaten down by the terrible things that life has thrown their way, and does their best to savor the good moments when they arrive. He is flawed, hypocritical, and the intention when writing him is to present a believable character that can serve in a supporting role, or leading man, depending on the story around him.</p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">The Highlander sports a heavy build, is broad shouldered and well-muscled with greying hair and teal eyes. Add to that a stern demeanor that belies his friendly nature and it's not uncommon that he comes across as standoffish or brusque from a look. Finishing at half fulm past six while weighing around two-hundred and seventy ponze, only a fair sized Au Ra or Roegyden give the mercenary pause when it comes to physical presence, and he certainly makes up the difference with attitude and presentation.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Favoring tighter, functional clothing that doesn't restrict movement and breathes well, Malchior's attire has him at home on the sea or in the desert, sensible considering Limsa and Ul'dah both are where he spends most of his time and coin. The Highlander prefers utility over flair, but given the opportunity he has no qualms about dressing for attention and the dramatic.</div><br />

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Rough around the edges and impulsive are a common first impression Malchior.

Inherently, however, he has a respect for others and especially those who show a strength of character. That is not to be mistaken for a disregard for the weak as a traumatic past has left him sympathetic to those who suffer, and Malchior takes opportunity to build people up where and when he can if they are looking for that support. </div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Poisons make a deadly and easy addition to any arsenal and Malchior is no exception to this avenue of assured victory. A healthy curiosity for easily dispatching his foes led the man to lean on alchemical means of advantage which over time Malchior developed with curiosity from a hobby into... a more expensive hobby. Despite his imposing appearance the man sports an insatiable desire for knowledge, and Alchemy fed this. Malchior moved from a helpless dabbler to an adept and spends a fair share of his off time perusing markets and trade for unique ingredients to produce unique potions as a result. Experimentation and whim are the direction his 'work' in this hobby take and he is just as keen to create something that's an experience to be had as he is to make helpful tinctures.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Malchior is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group when the circumstances present themselves. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Sixth Sense'''<br />
<p> Old mercenaries are a rarity, and for good reason. Working in a dangerous field, Malchior is not just some swaddled adventurer but a full blown sellsword who has seen enough of the world to have a good sense for when things are about to go sideways. Call it intuition, call it luck, call it a gut feeling, but when Mal says he thinks something bad is about to happen... he's not far off the mark. If you see him running, don't ask questions. Just try not to fall behind him.</p><br />
<br><br />
<!-- COMBAT ABILITIES --><br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">'''Combat'''</div><br />
<br />
'''Grit'''<br />
<p>Pain is something people avoid. Generally it's a great indicator that a situation has gone sideways and a survival feeling that tells most people that whatever they're doing, they need to stop. For Malchior, however, this natural instinct has been well subverted throughout the years. It turns out if you subject yourself to enough excruciating instances of negative feedback you get used to it. For the most part. Highlander gumption combined with an innate fortitude has allowed Malchior to build up a tolerance to blows and injuries that might bring a lesser man to their knees. Of course most medical professions contend that this isn't a <i>good</i> thing, since it can lead to further injury. Malchior will take their opinion under advisement. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>The frontlines are a place that favors a soldier that can think on their feet to win, and especially those that are willing to go the distance to ensure such. Some might mock poisons, or extol the virtues of honorable combat, but Malchior does not throw in with that lot. Survival, and winning, are all that matters to the man when he undertakes a task. Though he won't kick a man when he's down, the Highlander will use any method it takes to bring said man down, adapting on the fly to his opponent's style with anything and everything in his arsenal.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Strength'''<br />
<p>Not just might, but magical as well. The Ala Mhigan boasts endurance and fortitude when it comes to the aetheric and physical and has held his own against great beasts and mages. Though he'll never rival the truly masterful in the arts of the arcane, a natural knack for weaving aether with his combat makes Malchior a balanced fighter. A magicked bullet or imbued sword that cleans straight through heavy plating is worth its weight in gold.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Ala Mhigo had always been rife with conflict and violence throughout its history and Malchior was at home in that culture. His youth was uneventful, his parents fair, and the Highlander took a somewhat honorable path in enlisting with the standing armies of the City-State to keep his homeland safe. However as Garlean forces began their march towards Eorzea and launched their conquest with the borders of Ala Mhigo his enlistment became anything but routine.<br><br>Theodoric made it all the worse. With the Mad King destabilizing everything that Ala Mhigo had fought to earn and Malchior found his role as a guardian increasingly challenged with orders he dissented from. The fall of Theodoric is well known, but the fate of Ala Mhigo's men-at-arms less so. Conscripted into service for the Garlean Viceroy that now occupied the strife ridden city, Malchior went from one cruel master to another.<br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Never one content to sit and let fate direct his path, Malchior bided his time. Too much was at stake to flee initially; the endeavor was not something to be undertaken lightly. However change happens when we least expect it, and from sorrow opportunity arose. With naught left to keep him tied to Ala Mhigo, and the revulsion of his people at the Garlean uniform he wore, Malchior gave up everything and made a desperate attempt to escape. Naught could stand between the man and his freedom, hard won with manipulation and brute force until he finally found himself on the other side of Baelsar's Wall. Near death, but free. </font></div><br><br />

Brought back from the brink of death and left to his own devices after, Malchior began walking the long road that he had chosen. Refugees from Ala Mhigo had flooded Ul'dah and the difficulty of taking care of one's self was evident from the beginning. Casting aside his past and letting the label of 'sellsword' be enough of an answer for any who asked the Highlander began to carve out his niche. Brutally effective in his chosen role, Malchior has made a small name for himself as a man who can solve any problem. For the right price. </font></div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay. Stories are not built over night and rapports are developed over time, and I'm keen on slowly building these foundations for greater stories with people interested in the same. I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />

<p>"Life has shown me the sweetest love, and greatest sorrows." </p><br />
<br><br />
<p>Malchior is a character written with a few guiding principles in mind. His is a story based in the ideas of personal redemption, of balancing mercy and vengeance, and the tests of character for a man who has experienced great loss after having the life he fought for. The character is meant to be a testament to the stoicism and determination of a person that refuses to be beaten down by the terrible things that life has thrown their way, and does their best to savor the good moments when they arrive. He is flawed, hypocritical, and the intention when writing him is to present a believable character that can serve in a supporting role, or leading man, depending on the story around him.</p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">The Highlander sports a heavy build, is broad shouldered and well-muscled with greying hair and teal eyes. Add to that a stern demeanor that belies his friendly nature and it's not uncommon that he comes across as standoffish or brusque from a look. Finishing at half fulm past six while weighing around two-hundred and seventy ponze, only a fair sized Au Ra or Roegyden give the mercenary pause when it comes to physical presence, and he certainly makes up the difference with attitude and presentation.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Favoring tighter, functional clothing that doesn't restrict movement and breathes well, Malchior's attire has him at home on the sea or in the desert, sensible considering Limsa and Ul'dah both are where he spends most of his time and coin. The Highlander prefers utility over flair, but given the opportunity he has no qualms about dressing for attention and the dramatic.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Rough around the edges and impulsive are a common first impression Malchior. The man is not shy about going after what he wants and has a direct manner that can be off-putting to many. Inherently, however, he has a respect for others and especially those who show a strength of character. That is not to be mistaken for a disregard for the weak as a traumatic past has left him sympathetic to those who suffer, and Malchior takes opportunity to build people up where and when he can if they are looking for that support. </div><br />

'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Poisons make a deadly and easy addition to any arsenal and Malchior is no exception to this avenue of assured victory. A healthy curiosity for easily dispatching his foes led the man to lean on alchemical means of advantage which over time Malchior developed with curiosity from a hobby into... a more expensive hobby. Despite his imposing appearance the man sports an insatiable desire for knowledge, and Alchemy fed this. Malchior moved from a helpless dabbler to an adept and spends a fair share of his off time perusing markets and trade for unique ingredients to produce unique potions as a result. Experimentation and whim are the direction his 'work' in this hobby take and he is just as keen to create something that's an experience to be had as he is to make helpful tinctures.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Malchior is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group when the circumstances present themselves. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Sixth Sense'''<br />
<p> Old mercenaries are a rarity, and for good reason. Working in a dangerous field, Malchior is not just some swaddled adventurer but a full blown sellsword who has seen enough of the world to have a good sense for when things are about to go sideways. Call it intuition, call it luck, call it a gut feeling, but when Mal says he thinks something bad is about to happen... he's not far off the mark. If you see him running, don't ask questions. Just try not to fall behind him.</p><br />
<br><br />
<!-- COMBAT ABILITIES --><br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">'''Combat'''</div><br />
<br />
'''Grit'''<br />
<p>Pain is something people avoid. Generally it's a great indicator that a situation has gone sideways and a survival feeling that tells most people that whatever they're doing, they need to stop. For Malchior, however, this natural instinct has been well subverted throughout the years. It turns out if you subject yourself to enough excruciating instances of negative feedback you get used to it. For the most part. Highlander gumption combined with an innate fortitude has allowed Malchior to build up a tolerance to blows and injuries that might bring a lesser man to their knees. Of course most medical professions contend that this isn't a <i>good</i> thing, since it can lead to further injury. Malchior will take their opinion under advisement. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>The frontlines are a place that favors a soldier that can think on their feet to win, and especially those that are willing to go the distance to ensure such. Some might mock poisons, or extol the virtues of honorable combat, but Malchior does not throw in with that lot. Survival, and winning, are all that matters to the man when he undertakes a task. Though he won't kick a man when he's down, the Highlander will use any method it takes to bring said man down, adapting on the fly to his opponent's style with anything and everything in his arsenal.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Strength'''<br />
<p>Not just might, but magical as well. The Ala Mhigan boasts endurance and fortitude when it comes to the aetheric and physical and has held his own against great beasts and mages. Though he'll never rival the truly masterful in the arts of the arcane, a natural knack for weaving aether with his combat makes Malchior a balanced fighter. A magicked bullet or imbued sword that cleans straight through heavy plating is worth its weight in gold.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Ala Mhigo had always been rife with conflict and violence throughout its history and Malchior was at home in that culture. His youth was uneventful, his parents fair, and the Highlander took a somewhat honorable path in enlisting with the standing armies of the City-State to keep his homeland safe. However as Garlean forces began their march towards Eorzea and launched their conquest with the borders of Ala Mhigo his enlistment became anything but routine.<br><br>Theodoric made it all the worse. With the Mad King destabilizing everything that Ala Mhigo had fought to earn and Malchior found his role as a guardian increasingly challenged with orders he dissented from. The fall of Theodoric is well known, but the fate of Ala Mhigo's men-at-arms less so. Conscripted into service for the Garlean Viceroy that now occupied the strife ridden city, Malchior went from one cruel master to another.<br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Never one content to sit and let fate direct his path, Malchior bided his time. Too much was at stake to flee initially; the endeavor was not something to be undertaken lightly. However change happens when we least expect it, and from sorrow opportunity arose. With naught left to keep him tied to Ala Mhigo, and the revulsion of his people at the Garlean uniform he wore, Malchior gave up everything and made a desperate attempt to escape. Naught could stand between the man and his freedom, hard won with manipulation and brute force until he finally found himself on the other side of Baelsar's Wall. Near death, but free. </font></div><br><br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Though Gridania is not known for their love of Ala Mhigans a few passing Wood Wailers took pity on the suffering man as he lay bleeding out in the Shroud. Brought back from the brink of death and left to his own devices after, Malchior began walking the long road that he had chosen. Refugees from Ala Mhigo had flooded Ul'dah and the difficulty of taking care of one's self was evident from the beginning. Casting aside his past and letting the label of 'sellsword' be enough of an answer for any who asked the Highlander began to carve out his niche. Brutally effective in his chosen role, Malchior has made a small name for himself as a man who can solve any problem. For the right price. </font></div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. <br />
<br> <br />
: ■ <b>Seeking Work:</b> Malchior has a reputation for picking up most any job. Guarding a caravan, long term sea shipments, cleaning out a cave of untowardly Spriggans, you name it and pay for it, he'll do it.<br />
: ■ <b>Alchemy:</b> What started off as a casual dabbling for an extra edge in a fight with poisons became a full blown hobby that he enjoys when he can. Though he doesn't operate as a full apothecary, he is not shy about selling what he has made.<br />
: ■ <b>Pit Fighting:</b> If you're a frequent fighter, or attendee, you may recognized his scarred face and steely teal eyes.<br />

<p>"Life has shown me the sweetest love, and greatest sorrows." </p><br />
<br><br />
<p>Malchior is a character written with a few guiding principles in mind. His is a story based in the ideas of personal redemption, of balancing mercy and vengeance, and the tests of character for a man who has experienced great loss after having the life he fought for. The character is meant to be a testament to the stoicism and determination of a person that refuses to be beaten down by the terrible things that life has thrown their way, and does their best to savor the good moments when they arrive. He is flawed, hypocritical, and the intention when writing him is to present a believable character that can serve in a supporting role, or leading man, depending on the story around him.</p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">The Highlander sports a heavy build, is broad shouldered and well-muscled with greying hair and teal eyes. Add to that a stern demeanor that belies his friendly nature and it's not uncommon that he comes across as standoffish or brusque from a look. Finishing at half fulm past six while weighing around two-hundred and seventy ponze, only a fair sized Au Ra or Roegyden give the mercenary pause when it comes to physical presence, and he certainly makes up the difference with attitude and presentation.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />
:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Presentation & Attire''</div><br />
<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Favoring tighter, functional clothing that doesn't restrict movement and breathes well, Malchior's attire has him at home on the sea or in the desert, sensible considering Limsa and Ul'dah both are where he spends most of his time and coin. The Highlander prefers utility over flair, but given the opportunity he has no qualms about dressing for attention and the dramatic.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Rough around the edges and impulsive are a common first impression Malchior. The man is not shy about going after what he wants and has a direct manner that can be off-putting to many. Inherently, however, he has a respect for others and especially those who show a strength of character. That is not to be mistaken for a disregard for the weak as a traumatic past has left him sympathetic to those who suffer, and Malchior takes opportunity to build people up where and when he can if they are looking for that support. </div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Poisons make a deadly and easy addition to any archer's quiver, Malchior is no exception to this avenue of assured victory and a healthy curiosity for easily dispatching his foes led the man to lean on alchemical means of advantage. Over time Malchior developed his curiosity and hobby into... a more expensive hobby. Despite his imposing appearance the man sports an insatiable desire for knowledge, and Alchemy fed this. Malchior moved from a helpless dabbler to an adept and spends a fair share of his off time perusing markets and trade for unique ingredients to produce unique potions as a result. Experimentation and whim are the direction his 'work' in this hobby take and he is just as keen to create something that's an experience to be had as he is to make helpful tinctures.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Malchior is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group when the circumstances present themselves. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Sixth Sense'''<br />
<p> Old mercenaries are a rarity, and for good reason. Working in a dangerous field, Malchior is not just some swaddled adventurer but a full blown sellsword who has seen enough of the world to have a good sense for when things are about to go sideways. Call it intuition, call it luck, call it a gut feeling, but when Mal says he thinks something bad is about to happen... he's not far off the mark. If you see him running, don't ask questions. Just try not to fall behind him.</p><br />
<br><br />
<!-- COMBAT ABILITIES --><br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">'''Combat'''</div><br />
<br />
'''Grit'''<br />
<p>Pain is something people avoid. Generally it's a great indicator that a situation has gone sideways and a survival feeling that tells most people that whatever they're doing, they need to stop. For Malchior, however, this natural instinct has been well subverted throughout the years. It turns out if you subject yourself to enough excruciating instances of negative feedback you get used to it. For the most part. Highlander gumption combined with an innate fortitude has allowed Malchior to build up a tolerance to blows and injuries that might bring a lesser man to their knees. Of course most medical professions contend that this isn't a <i>good</i> thing, since it can lead to further injury. Malchior will take their opinion under advisement. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>The frontlines are a place that favors a soldier that can think on their feet to win, and especially those that are willing to go the distance to ensure such. Some might mock poisons, or extol the virtues of honorable combat, but Malchior does not throw in with that lot. Survival, and winning, are all that matters to the man when he undertakes a task. Though he won't kick a man when he's down, the Highlander will use any method it takes to bring said man down, adapting on the fly to his opponent's style with anything and everything in his arsenal.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Strength'''<br />
<p>Not just might, but magical as well. The Ala Mhigan boasts endurance and fortitude when it comes to the aetheric and physical and has held his own against great beasts and mages. Though he'll never rival the truly masterful in the arts of the arcane, a natural knack for weaving aether with his combat makes Malchior a balanced fighter. A magicked arrow or imbued sword that cleans straight through heavy plating is worth its weight in gold.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Ala Mhigo had always been rife with conflict and violence throughout its history and Malchior was at home in that culture. His youth was uneventful, his parents fair, and the Highlander took a somewhat honorable path in enlisting with the standing armies of the City-State to keep his homeland safe. However as Garlean forces began their march towards Eorzea and launched their conquest with the borders of Ala Mhigo his enlistment became anything but routine.<br><br>Theodoric made it all the worse. With the Mad King destabilizing everything that Ala Mhigo had fought to earn and Malchior found his role as a guardian increasingly challenged with orders he dissented from. The fall of Theodoric is well known, but the fate of Ala Mhigo's men-at-arms less so. Conscripted into service for the Garlean Viceroy that now occupied the strife ridden city, Malchior went from one cruel master to another.<br />

Too much was at stake to flee initially; the endeavor was not something to be undertaken lightly. However change happens when we least expect it, and from sorrow opportunity arose. With naught left to keep him tied to Ala Mhigo, and the revulsion of his people at the Garlean uniform he wore, Malchior gave up everything and made a desperate attempt to escape. Naught could stand between the man and his freedom, hard won with manipulation and brute force until he finally found himself on the other side of Baelsar's Wall. Near death, but free. </font></div><br><br />

Brought back from the brink of death and left to his own devices after, Malchior began walking the long road that he had chosen. Refugees from Ala Mhigo had flooded Ul'dah and the difficulty of taking care of one's self was evident from the beginning. Casting aside his past and letting the label of 'sellsword' be enough of an answer for any who asked the Highlander began to carve out his niche. Brutally effective in his chosen role, Malchior has made a small name for himself as a man who can solve any problem. For the right price. </font></div><br />

: ■ <b>Ul'dah/Limsa:</b> The main places for a good mercenary to pick up work. Malchior frequents between both city-states.<br />
: ■ <b>Rest of Eorzea:</b> Gridania and Ishgard are less inclined for a man of his persuasive talents, but that doesn't mean he avoids them completely.<br />
: ■ <b>Across the Pond:</b> Not bound to just Eorzea, the man has made trips far and wide in his time. He's no stranger to Kugane, though beyond that is questionable.<br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. <br />
<br> <br />
: ■ <b>Seeking Work:</b> Malchior has a reputation for picking up most any job. Guarding a caravan, long term sea shipments, cleaning out a cave of untowardly Spriggans, you name it and pay for it, he'll do it.<br />
: ■ <b>Alchemy:</b> What started off as a casual dabbling for an extra edge in a fight with poisons became a full blown hobby that he enjoys when he can. Though he doesn't operate as a full apothecary, he is not shy about selling what he has made.<br />
: ■ <b>Pit Fighting:</b> If you're a frequent fighter, or attendee, you may recognized his scarred face and steely teal eyes.<br />

There are key parts of his backstory that have been left out intentionally, and this is not the full history of my character.

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay. Stories are not built over night and rapports are developed over time, and I'm keen on slowly building these foundations for greater stories with people interested in the same. I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />

<p>"Life has shown me the sweetest love, and greatest sorrows." </p><br />
<br><br />
<p>Malchior is a character written with a few guiding principles in mind. His is a story based in the ideas of personal redemption, of balancing mercy and vengeance, and the tests of character for a man who has experienced great loss after having the life he fought for. The character is meant to be a testament to the stoicism and determination of a person that refuses to be beaten down by the terrible things that life has thrown their way, and does their best to savor the good moments when they arrive. He is flawed, hypocritical, and the intention when writing him is to present a believable character that can serve in a supporting role, or leading man, depending on the story around him.</p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">The Highlander sports a heavy build, is broad shouldered and well-muscled with greying hair and teal eyes. Add to that a stern demeanor that belies his friendly nature and it's not uncommon that he comes across as standoffish or brusque from a look. Finishing at half fulm past six while weighing around two-hundred and seventy ponze, only a fair sized Au Ra or Roegyden give the mercenary pause when it comes to physical presence, and he certainly makes up the difference with attitude and presentation.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Favoring tighter, functional clothing that doesn't restrict movement and breathes well, Malchior's attire has him at home on the sea or in the desert, sensible considering Limsa and Ul'dah both are where he spends most of his time and coin. The Highlander prefers utility over flair, but given the opportunity he has no qualms about dressing for attention and the dramatic.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Rough around the edges and impulsive are a common first impression Malchior. The man is not shy about going after what he wants and has a direct manner that can be off-putting to many. Inherently, however, he has a respect for others and especially those who show a strength of character. That is not to be mistaken for a disregard for the weak as a traumatic past has left him sympathetic to those who suffer, and Malchior takes opportunity to build people up where and when he can if they are looking for that support. </div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Poisons make a deadly and easy addition to any archer's quiver, Malchior is no exception to this avenue of assured victory and a healthy curiosity for easily dispatching his foes led the man to lean on alchemical means of advantage. Over time Malchior developed his curiosity and hobby into... a more expensive hobby. Despite his imposing appearance the man sports an insatiable desire for knowledge, and Alchemy fed this. Malchior moved from a helpless dabbler to an adept and spends a fair share of his off time perusing markets and trade for unique ingredients to produce unique potions as a result. Experimentation and whim are the direction his 'work' in this hobby take and he is just as keen to create something that's an experience to be had as he is to make helpful tinctures.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Malchior is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group when the circumstances present themselves. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Sixth Sense'''<br />
<p> Old mercenaries are a rarity, and for good reason. Working in a dangerous field, Malchior is not just some swaddled adventurer but a full blown sellsword who has seen enough of the world to have a good sense for when things are about to go sideways. Call it intuition, call it luck, call it a gut feeling, but when Mal says he thinks something bad is about to happen... he's not far off the mark. If you see him running, don't ask questions. Just try not to fall behind him.</p><br />
<br><br />
<!-- COMBAT ABILITIES --><br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">'''Combat'''</div><br />
<br />
'''Grit'''<br />
<p>Pain is something people avoid. Generally it's a great indicator that a situation has gone sideways and a survival feeling that tells most people that whatever they're doing, they need to stop. For Malchior, however, this natural instinct has been well subverted throughout the years. It turns out if you subject yourself to enough excruciating instances of negative feedback you get used to it. For the most part. Highlander gumption combined with an innate fortitude has allowed Malchior to build up a tolerance to blows and injuries that might bring a lesser man to their knees. Of course most medical professions contend that this isn't a <i>good</i> thing, since it can lead to further injury. Malchior will take their opinion under advisement. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>The frontlines are a place that favors a soldier that can think on their feet to win, and especially those that are willing to go the distance to ensure such. Some might mock poisons, or extol the virtues of honorable combat, but Malchior does not throw in with that lot. Survival, and winning, are all that matters to the man when he undertakes a task. Though he won't kick a man when he's down, the Highlander will use any method it takes to bring said man down, adapting on the fly to his opponent's style with anything and everything in his arsenal.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Strength'''<br />
<p>Not just might, but magical as well. The Ala Mhigan boasts endurance and fortitude when it comes to the aetheric and physical and has held his own against great beasts and mages. Though he'll never rival the truly masterful in the arts of the arcane, a natural knack for weaving aether with his combat makes Malchior a balanced fighter. A magicked arrow or imbued sword that cleans straight through heavy plating is worth its weight in gold.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Ala Mhigo had always been rife with conflict and violence throughout its history and Malchior was at home in that culture. His youth was uneventful, his parents fair, and the Highlander took a somewhat honorable path in enlisting with the standing armies of the City-State to keep his homeland safe. However as Garlean forces began their march towards Eorzea and launched their conquest with the borders of Ala Mhigo his enlistment became anything but routine.<br><br>Theodoric made it all the worse. With the Mad King destabilizing everything that Ala Mhigo had fought to earn and Malchior found his role as a guardian increasingly challenged with orders he dissented from. The fall of Theodoric is well known, but the fate of Ala Mhigo's men-at-arms less so. Conscripted into service for the Garlean Viceroy that now occupied the strife ridden city, Malchior went from one cruel master to another.<br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Never one content to sit and let fate direct his path, Malchior bided his time. Too much was at stake to flee initially; the endeavor was not something to be undertaken lightly. However change happens when we least expect it, and from sorrow opportunity arose. With naught left to keep him tied to Ala Mhigo, and the revulsion of his people at the Garlean uniform he wore, Malchior gave up everything and made a desperate attempt to escape. Naught could stand between the man and his freedom, hard won with manipulation and brute force until he finally found himself on the other side of Baelsar's Wall. Near death, but free. </font></div><br><br />

Brought back from the brink of death and left to his own devices after, Malchior began walking the long road that he had chosen. Refugees from Ala Mhigo had flooded Ul'dah and the difficulty of taking care of one's self was evident from the beginning. Casting aside his past and letting the label of 'sellsword' be enough of an answer for any who asked the Highlander began to carve out his niche. Brutally effective in his chosen role, Malchior has made a small name for himself as a man who can solve any problem. For the right price. </font></div><br />

<p>"Life has shown me the sweetest love, and greatest sorrows." </p><br />
<br><br />
<p>Malchior is a character written with a few guiding principles in mind. His is a story based in the ideas of personal redemption, of balancing mercy and vengeance, and the tests of character for a man who has experienced great loss after having the life he fought for. The character is meant to be a testament to the stoicism and determination of a person that refuses to be beaten down by the terrible things that life has thrown their way, and does their best to savor the good moments when they arrive. He is flawed, hypocritical, and the intention when writing him is to present a believable character that can serve in a supporting role, or leading man, depending on the story around him.</p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">The Highlander sports a heavy build, is broad shouldered and well-muscled with greying hair and teal eyes. Add to that a stern demeanor that belies his friendly nature and it's not uncommon that he comes across as standoffish or brusque from a look. Finishing at half fulm past six while weighing around two-hundred and seventy ponze, only a fair sized Au Ra or Roegyden give the mercenary pause when it comes to physical presence, and he certainly makes up the difference with attitude and presentation.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Favoring tighter, functional clothing that doesn't restrict movement and breathes well, Malchior's attire has him at home on the sea or in the desert, sensible considering Limsa and Ul'dah both are where he spends most of his time and coin. The Highlander prefers utility over flair, but given the opportunity he has no qualms about dressing for attention and the dramatic.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Rough around the edges and impulsive are a common first impression Malchior. The man is not shy about going after what he wants and has a direct manner that can be off-putting to many. Inherently, however, he has a respect for others and especially those who show a strength of character. That is not to be mistaken for a disregard for the weak as a traumatic past has left him sympathetic to those who suffer, and Malchior takes opportunity to build people up where and when he can if they are looking for that support. </div><br />

'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Poisons make a deadly and easy addition to any archer's quiver, Malchior is no exception to this avenue of assured victory and a healthy curiosity for easily dispatching his foes led the man to lean on alchemical means of advantage. Over time Malchior developed his curiosity and hobby into... a more expensive hobby. Despite his imposing appearance the man sports an insatiable desire for knowledge, and Alchemy fed this. Malchior moved from a helpless dabbler to an adept and spends a fair share of his off time perusing markets and trade for unique ingredients to produce unique potions as a result. Experimentation and whim are the direction his 'work' in this hobby take and he is just as keen to create something that's an experience to be had as he is to make helpful tinctures.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Malchior is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group when the circumstances present themselves. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Sixth Sense'''<br />
<p> Old mercenaries are a rarity, and for good reason. Working in a dangerous field, Malchior is not just some swaddled adventurer but a full blown sellsword who has seen enough of the world to have a good sense for when things are about to go sideways. Call it intuition, call it luck, call it a gut feeling, but when Mal says he thinks something bad is about to happen... he's not far off the mark. If you see him running, don't ask questions. Just try not to fall behind him.</p><br />
<br><br />
<!-- COMBAT ABILITIES --><br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">'''Combat'''</div><br />
<br />
'''Grit'''<br />
<p>Pain is something people avoid. Generally it's a great indicator that a situation has gone sideways and a survival feeling that tells most people that whatever they're doing, they need to stop. For Malchior, however, this natural instinct has been well subverted throughout the years. It turns out if you subject yourself to enough excruciating instances of negative feedback you get used to it. For the most part. Highlander gumption combined with an innate fortitude has allowed Malchior to build up a tolerance to blows and injuries that might bring a lesser man to their knees. Of course most medical professions contend that this isn't a <i>good</i> thing, since it can lead to further injury. Malchior will take their opinion under advisement. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>The frontlines are a place that favors a soldier that can think on their feet to win, and especially those that are willing to go the distance to ensure such. Some might mock poisons, or extol the virtues of honorable combat, but Malchior does not throw in with that lot. Survival, and winning, are all that matters to the man when he undertakes a task. Though he won't kick a man when he's down, the Highlander will use any method it takes to bring said man down, adapting on the fly to his opponent's style with anything and everything in his arsenal.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Strength'''<br />
<p>Not just might, but magical as well. The Ala Mhigan boasts endurance and fortitude when it comes to the aetheric and physical and has held his own against great beasts and mages. Though he'll never rival the truly masterful in the arts of the arcane, a natural knack for weaving aether with his combat makes Malchior a balanced fighter. A magicked arrow or imbued sword that cleans straight through heavy plating is worth its weight in gold.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Ala Mhigo had always been rife with conflict and violence throughout its history and Malchior was at home in that culture. His youth was uneventful, his parents fair, and the Highlander took a somewhat honorable path in enlisting with the standing armies of the City-State to keep his homeland safe. However as Garlean forces began their march towards Eorzea and launched their conquest with the borders of Ala Mhigo his enlistment became anything but routine.<br><br>Theodoric made it all the worse. With the Mad King destabilizing everything that Ala Mhigo had fought to earn and Malchior found his role as a guardian increasingly challenged with orders he dissented from. The fall of Theodoric is well known, but the fate of Ala Mhigo's men-at-arms less so. Conscripted into service for the Garlean Viceroy that now occupied the strife ridden city, Malchior went from one cruel master to another.<br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Never one content to sit and let fate direct his path, Malchior bided his time. Too much was at stake to flee initially; the endeavor was not something to be undertaken lightly. However change happens when we least expect it, and from sorrow opportunity arose. With naught left to keep him tied to Ala Mhigo, and the revulsion of his people at the Garlean uniform he wore, Malchior gave up everything and made a desperate attempt to escape. Naught could stand between the man and his freedom, hard won with manipulation and brute force until he finally found himself on the other side of Baelsar's Wall. Near death, but free. </font></div><br><br />

Brought back from the brink of death and left to his own devices after, Malchior began walking the long road that he had chosen. Refugees from Ala Mhigo had flooded Ul'dah and the difficulty of taking care of one's self was evident from the beginning. Casting aside his past and letting the label of 'sellsword' be enough of an answer for any who asked the Highlander began to carve out his niche. Brutally effective in his chosen role, Malchior has made a small name for himself as a man who can solve any problem. For the right price. </font></div><br />

<!-- IC INVENTORY DESCRIPTION --><br />
<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. <br />
<br> <br />
: ■ <b>Seeking Work:</b> Malchior has a reputation for picking up most any jobs. Guarding a caravan, long term sea shipments, cleaning out a cave of untowardly Spriggans, you name it and pay for it, he'll do it.<br />
: ■ <b>Alchemy:</b> What started off as a casual dabbling for an extra edge in a fight with poisons became a full blown hobby that he enjoys when he can. Though he doesn't operate as a full apothecary, he is not shy about selling what he has made.<br />
: ■ <b>Pit Fighting:</b> If you're a frequent fighter, or attendee, you may recognized his scarred face and steely teal eyes.<br />

There are key parts of his backstory that have been left out intentionally, and this is not the full history of my character.

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay. Stories are not built over night and rapports are developed over time, and I'm keen on slowly building these foundations for greater stories with people interested in the same. I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />

<p>"Life has shown me the sweetest love, and greatest sorrows." </p><br />
<br><br />
<p>Malchior is a character written with a few guiding principles in mind. His is a story based in the ideas of personal redemption, of balancing mercy and vengeance, and the tests of character for a man who has experienced great loss after having the life he fought for. The character is meant to be a testament to the stoicism and determination of a person that refuses to be beaten down by the terrible things that life has thrown their way, and does their best to savor the good moments when they arrive. He is flawed, hypocritical, and the intention when writing him is to present a believable character that can serve in a supporting role, or leading man, depending on the story around him.</p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">The Highlander sports a heavy build, is broad shouldered and well-muscled with brown hair and teal eyes. Add to that a stern demeanor that belies his friendly nature and it's not uncommon that he comes across as standoffish or brusque from a look. Finishing at half fulm past six while weighing around two-hundred and seventy ponze, only a fair sized Au Ra or Roegyden give the mercenary pause when it comes to physical presence, and he certainly makes up the difference with attitude and presentation.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />
:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Presentation & Attire''</div><br />
<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Favoring tighter, functional clothing that doesn't restrict movement and breathes well, Malchior's attire has him at home on the sea or in the desert, sensible considering Limsa and Ul'dah both are where he spends most of his time and coin. The Highlander prefers utility over flair, but given the opportunity he has no qualms about dressing for attention and the dramatic.</div><br />
<br><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Rough around the edges and impulsive are a common first impression Malchior. The man is not shy about going after what he wants and has a direct manner that can be off-putting to many. Inherently, however, he has a respect for others and especially those who show a strength of character. That is not to be mistaken for a disregard for the weak as a traumatic past has left him sympathetic to those who suffer, and Malchior takes opportunity to build people up where and when he can if they are looking for that support. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Somewhere between a low baritone and higher bass, age and experience along with more than a few attempts at suffocating the man have left his voice with a distinct rasp underlying his speech.</div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Poisons make a deadly and easy addition to any archer's quiver, Malchior is no exception to this avenue of assured victory and a healthy curiosity for easily dispatching his foes led the man to lean on alchemical means of advantage. Over time Malchior developed his curiosity and hobby into... a more expensive hobby. Despite his imposing appearance the man sports an insatiable desire for knowledge, and Alchemy fed this. Malchior moved from a helpless dabbler to an adept and spends a fair share of his off time perusing markets and trade for unique ingredients to produce unique potions as a result. Experimentation and whim are the direction his 'work' in this hobby take and he is just as keen to create something that's an experience to be had as he is to make helpful tinctures.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Malchior is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group when the circumstances present themselves. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Sixth Sense'''<br />
<p> Old mercenaries are a rarity, and for good reason. Working in a dangerous field, Malchior is not just some swaddled adventurer but a full blown sellsword who has seen enough of the world to have a good sense for when things are about to go sideways. Call it intuition, call it luck, call it a gut feeling, but when Mal says he thinks something bad is about to happen... he's not far off the mark. If you see him running, don't ask questions. Just try not to fall behind him.</p><br />
<br><br />
<!-- COMBAT ABILITIES --><br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">'''Combat'''</div><br />
<br />
'''Grit'''<br />
<p>Pain is something people avoid. Generally it's a great indicator that a situation has gone sideways and a survival feeling that tells most people that whatever they're doing, they need to stop. For Malchior, however, this natural instinct has been well subverted throughout the years. It turns out if you subject yourself to enough excruciating instances of negative feedback you get used to it. For the most part. Highlander gumption combined with an innate fortitude has allowed Malchior to build up a tolerance to blows and injuries that might bring a lesser man to their knees. Of course most medical professions contend that this isn't a <i>good</i> thing, since it can lead to further injury. Malchior will take their opinion under advisement. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>The frontlines are a place that favors a soldier that can think on their feet to win, and especially those that are willing to go the distance to ensure such. Some might mock poisons, or extol the virtues of honorable combat, but Malchior does not throw in with that lot. Survival, and winning, are all that matters to the man when he undertakes a task. Though he won't kick a man when he's down, the Highlander will use any method it takes to bring said man down, adapting on the fly to his opponent's style with anything and everything in his arsenal.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Strength'''<br />
<p>Not just might, but magical as well. The Ala Mhigan boasts endurance and fortitude when it comes to the aetheric and physical and has held his own against great beasts and mages. Though he'll never rival the truly masterful in the arts of the arcane, a natural knack for weaving aether with his combat makes Malchior a balanced fighter. A magicked arrow or imbued sword that cleans straight through heavy plating is worth its weight in gold.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Ala Mhigo had always been rife with conflict and violence throughout its history and Malchior was at home in that culture. His youth was uneventful, his parents fair, and the Highlander took a somewhat honorable path in enlisting with the standing armies of the City-State to keep his homeland safe. However as Garlean forces began their march towards Eorzea and launched their conquest with the borders of Ala Mhigo his enlistment became anything but routine.<br><br>Theodoric made it all the worse. With the Mad King destabilizing everything that Ala Mhigo had fought to earn and Malchior found his role as a guardian increasingly challenged with orders he dissented from. The fall of Theodoric is well known, but the fate of Ala Mhigo's men-at-arms less so. Conscripted into service for the Garlean Viceroy that now occupied the strife ridden city, Malchior went from one cruel master to another.<br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Never one content to sit and let fate direct his path, Malchior bided his time. Too much was at stake to flee initially; the endeavor was not something to be undertaken lightly. However change happens when we least expect it, and from sorrow opportunity arose. With naught left to keep him tied to Ala Mhigo, and the revulsion of his people at the Garlean uniform he wore, Malchior gave up everything and made a desperate attempt to escape. Naught could stand between the man and his freedom, hard won with manipulation and brute force until he finally found himself on the other side of Baelsar's Wall. Near death, but free. </font></div><br><br />

Brought back from the brink of death and left to his own devices after, Malchior began walking the long road that he had chosen. Refugees from Ala Mhigo had flooded Ul'dah and the difficulty of taking care of one's self was evident from the beginning. Casting aside his past and letting the label of 'sellsword' be enough of an answer for any who asked the Highlander began to carve out his niche. Brutally effective in his chosen role, Malchior has made a small name for himself as a man who can solve any problem. For the right price. </font></div><br />

<!-- IC INVENTORY DESCRIPTION --><br />
<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. <br />
<br> <br />
: ■ <b>Seeking Work:</b> Malchior has a reputation for picking up most any jobs. Guarding a caravan, long term sea shipments, cleaning out a cave of untowardly Spriggans, you name it and pay for it, he'll do it.<br />
: ■ <b>Alchemy:</b> What started off as a casual dabbling for an extra edge in a fight with poisons became a full blown hobby that he enjoys when he can. Though he doesn't operate as a full apothecary, he is not shy about selling what he has made.<br />
: ■ <b>Pit Fighting:</b> If you're a frequent fighter, or attendee, you may recognized his scarred face and steely teal eyes.<br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay.

I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype alongside a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far-reaching consequences of his actions. Of course, this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end, I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with one of his people. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Au Ra when it comes to his personality. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Raen. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Scholar to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born into a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived as a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However, as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />
<!-- COMBAT ABILITIES --><br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">'''Combat'''</div><br />
<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least as the man is able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat. Or so they had hoped.</p><br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Visiting Eorzea for trade, and living in Eorzea were inherently two different things and the pair of immigrant Au Ra who settled in Limsa found themselves in a very different world. Though this proved an obstacle the pair were willing to overcome and in an effort to ensure their newborn son grew up at home in this new land the new parents named him to fit with the haven they now resided in. Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- INITIAL IMPRESSION --><br />
:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Initial Impression''</div><br />
<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with one of his people. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Au Ra when it comes to his personality. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Raen. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Scholar to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />
:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Presentation & Attire''</div><br />
<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />
<!-- VOICE --><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least as the man is able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat.

Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. <br />
<br> <br />
: ■ <b>Seeking Work:</b> Looking for a means to sustain his research and travel, Orrin is for hire easily by word of mouth from the above listed guilds.<br />
: ■ <b>Alchemy:</b> Not renowned, but certainly known, Orrin's work in Alchemy is his primary source of income.<br />
: ■ <b>Aetheric Researcher:</b> Researching aether started as an idle curiosity and bloomed into a lifelong pursuit. In need of a scholar on aether? This might be your Raen!<br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay.

I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- INITIAL IMPRESSION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with one of his people. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Au Ra when it comes to his personality. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Raen. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Scholar to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />
:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Presentation & Attire''</div><br />
<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />
<!-- VOICE --><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat. Or so they had hoped.</p><br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Visiting Eorzea for trade, and living in Eorzea were inherently two different things and the pair of immigrant Au Ra who settled in Limsa found themselves in a very different world. Though this proved an obstacle the pair were willing to overcome and in an effort to ensure their newborn son grew up at home in this new land the new parents named him to fit with the haven they now resided in. Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. There are key parts of his backstory that have been left out intentionally, and this is not the full history of my character. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay. Stories are not built over night and rapports are developed over time, and I'm keen on slowly building these foundations for greater stories with people interested in the same. I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with one of his people. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Au Ra when it comes to his personality. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Raen. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Scholar to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat. Or so they had hoped.</p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Visiting Eorzea for trade, and living in Eorzea were inherently two different things and the pair of immigrant Au Ra who settled in Limsa found themselves in a very different world. Though this proved an obstacle the pair were willing to overcome and in an effort to ensure their newborn son grew up at home in this new land the new parents named him to fit with the haven they now resided in. Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

Orrin, in a bid to eke out his own path in life, remained in Eorzea. The man could not abandon his home, and remains to write his own story.

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his personality. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat.

Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. <br />

: ■ <b>Seeking Work:</b> Looking for a means to sustain his research and travel, Orrin is for hire easily by word of mouth from the above listed guilds.<br />
: ■ <b>Alchemy:</b> Not renowned, but certainly known, Orrin's work in Alchemy is his primary source of income.<br />
: ■ <b>Aetheric Researcher:</b> Researching aether started as an idle curiosity and bloomed into a lifelong pursuit. In need of a scholar on aether? This might be your Raen!<br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his personality. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat. Or so they had hoped.</p><br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Visiting Eorzea for trade, and living in Eorzea were inherently two different things and the pair of immigrant Au Ra who settled in Limsa found themselves in a very different world. Though this proved an obstacle the pair were willing to overcome and in an effort to ensure their newborn son grew up at home in this new land the new parents named him to fit with the haven they now resided in. Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay. Stories are not built over night and rapports are developed over time, and I'm keen on slowly building these foundations for greater stories with people interested in the same. I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his personality. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world.

Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat. Or so they had hoped.</p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Visiting Eorzea for trade, and living in Eorzea were inherently two different things and the pair of immigrant Au Ra who settled in Limsa found themselves in a very different world. Though this proved an obstacle the pair were willing to overcome and in an effort to ensure their newborn son grew up at home in this new land the new parents named him to fit with the haven they now resided in. Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

His parents once again feeling the fear of the Empire on the brink of conquest in their home, and the hole in their hearts for the ancestral home compelled the now older and wiser pair of Au Ra to seek passage back to Doma. Orrin, in a bid to eke out his own path in life, remained in Eorzea. The man could not abandon his home, and remains to write his own story. He does still visit his parents on occasion though!</font></div><br />

I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. <br />
<br> <br />
: ■ <b>Seeking Work:</b> Looking for a means to sustain his research and travel, Orrin is for hire easily by word of mouth from the above listed guilds.<br />
: ■ <b>Alchemy:</b> Not renowned, but certainly known, Orrin's work in Alchemy is his primary source of income.<br />
: ■ <b>Aetheric Researcher:</b> Researching aether started as an idle curiosity and bloomed into a lifelong pursuit. In need of a scholar on aether? This might be your Raen!<br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world.

Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat.

Though this proved an obstacle the pair were willing to overcome and in an effort to ensure their newborn son grew up at home in this new land the new parents named him to fit with the haven they now resided in. Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

: ■ <b>Seeking Work:</b> Looking for a means to sustain his research and travel, Orrin is for hire easily by word of mouth from the above listed guilds.<br />
: ■ <b>Alchemy:</b> Not renowned, but certainly known, Orrin's work in Alchemy is his primary source of income.<br />
: ■ <b>Aetheric Researcher:</b> Researching aether started as an idle curiosity and bloomed into a lifelong pursuit. In need of a scholar on aether? This might be your Raen!<br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat. Or so they had hoped.</p><br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Visiting Eorzea for trade, and living in Eorzea were inherently two different things and the pair of immigrant Au Ra who settled in Limsa found themselves in a very different world. Though this proved an obstacle the pair were willing to overcome and in an effort to ensure their newborn son grew up at home in this new land the new parents named him to fit with the haven they now resided in. Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />
<!-- VOICE --><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat.

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Visiting Eorzea for trade, and living in Eorzea were inherently two different things and the pair of immigrant Au Ra who settled in Limsa found themselves in a very different world. Though this proved an obstacle the pair were willing to overcome and in an effort to ensure their newborn son grew up at home in this new land the new parents named him to fit with the haven they now resided in. Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

His parents once again feeling the fear of the Empire on the brink of conquest in their home, and the hole in their hearts for the ancestral home compelled the now older and wiser pair of Au Ra to seek passage back to Doma. Orrin, in a bid to eke out his own path in life, remained in Eorzea. The man could not abandon his home, and remains to write his own story. He does still visit his parents on occasion though!</font></div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay. Stories are not built over night and rapports are developed over time, and I'm keen on slowly building these foundations for greater stories with people interested in the same. I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- INITIAL IMPRESSION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />
:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Presentation & Attire''</div><br />
<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat.

Though this proved an obstacle the pair were willing to overcome and in an effort to ensure their newborn son grew up at home in this new land the new parents named him to fit with the haven they now resided in. Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat. Or so they had hoped.</p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Visiting Eorzea for trade, and living in Eorzea were inherently two different things and the pair of immigrant Au Ra who settled in Limsa found themselves in a very different world. Though this proved an obstacle the pair were willing to overcome and in an effort to ensure their newborn son grew up at home in this new land the new parents named him to fit with the haven they now resided in. Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- INITIAL IMPRESSION --><br />
:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Initial Impression''</div><br />
<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />
:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Presentation & Attire''</div><br />
<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat.

Though this proved an obstacle the pair were willing to overcome and in an effort to ensure their newborn son grew up at home in this new land the new parents named him to fit with the haven they now resided in. Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat. Or so they had hoped.</p><br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Visiting Eorzea for trade, and living in Eorzea were inherently two different things and the pair of immigrant Au Ra who settled in Limsa found themselves in a very different world. Though this proved an obstacle the pair were willing to overcome and in an effort to ensure their newborn son grew up at home in this new land the new parents named him to fit with the haven they now resided in. Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. There are key parts of his backstory that have been left out intentionally, and this is not the full history of my character. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay. Stories are not built over night and rapports are developed over time, and I'm keen on slowly building these foundations for greater stories with people interested in the same. I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat. Or so they had hoped.</p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Visiting Eorzea for trade, and living in Eorzea were inherently two different things and the pair of immigrant Au Ra who settled in Limsa found themselves in a very different world. Though this proved an obstacle the pair were willing to overcome and in an effort to ensure their newborn son grew up at home in this new land the new parents named him to fit with the haven they now resided in. Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

His parents once again feeling the fear of the Empire on the brink of conquest in their home, and the hole in their hearts for the ancestral home compelled the now older and wiser pair of Au Ra to seek passage back to Doma. Orrin, in a bid to eke out his own path in life, remained in Eorzea. The man could not abandon his home, and remains to write his own story. He does still visit his parents on occasion though!</font></div><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat.

Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat. Or so they had hoped.</p><br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Visiting Eorzea for trade, and living in Eorzea were inherently two different things and the pair of immigrant Au Ra who settled in Limsa found themselves in a very different world. Though this proved an obstacle the pair were willing to overcome and in an effort to ensure their newborn son grew up at home in this new land the new parents named him to fit with the haven they now resided in. Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<br><br />
<!-- INITIAL IMPRESSION --><br />
:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Initial Impression''</div><br />
<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />
:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Presentation & Attire''</div><br />
<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat.

Though this proved an obstacle the pair were willing to overcome and in an effort to ensure their newborn son grew up at home in this new land the new parents named him to fit with the haven they now resided in. Adapting took time but trade is trade, no matter where you are, and success followed. A comfortable childhood filled with love and opportunities was the start in life Orrin was gifted with.</font></div><br><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat.

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2"><p>Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world.</p><br><p> Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat.

There are key parts of his backstory that have been left out intentionally, and this is not the full history of my character. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay. Stories are not built over night and rapports are developed over time, and I'm keen on slowly building these foundations for greater stories with people interested in the same. I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- INITIAL IMPRESSION --><br />
:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Initial Impression''</div><br />
<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />
:<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#999999;font-family:Georgia;border-bottom:1px;border-bottom:1px dotted;letter-spacing:0.2em;font-variant: small-caps;">''Presentation & Attire''</div><br />
<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; font-family:Georgia;"><br />
'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Once upon a time a very successful Raen man traveled the world. He sailed to Thavanair, he traded in Eorzea, he made many people in many places very rich through his savvy know-how and network he had culminated, making his family very proud of his efforts. Soon that man met his future wife, the pair falling in love and dedicating themselves wholly to one another in a fairy-tale story. Of course stories are nothing without conflict and ever on the horizon loomed the shadow of an Empire, bent on subjugating savages and ensuring the order of the world. Compelled by concern for this encroaching force and the threat it posed to the safety of their now budding baby boy that would soon join them in the world, the pair made a painful decision to leave their ancestral home and start a new life in Eorzea, away from the threat. Or so they had hoped.<br />

There are key parts of his backstory that have been left out intentionally, and this is not the full history of my character.

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay. Stories are not built over night and rapports are developed over time, and I'm keen on slowly building these foundations for greater stories with people interested in the same. I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />

The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Adaptability'''<br />
<p>Balance between both his aetheric learning and physical training means Orrin has a gauntlet of tactics at his disposal for anyone who faces the Raen at odds. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in trained skill, and though the man has rare had reason to do anything beyond have a heated lecture, woe be to anyone who underestimates him in a fight given the arsenal of spells and the impressive strength he has to back those magics. </p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Endurance'''<br />
<p>Between his studious training in the artforms of aetheric manipulation and the physical demands of the Marauder's guild that the Raen volunteered to learn in Orrin has developed a thick hide and stronger mentality to accompany it. Studying is not easy, the depths he has already plumbed for knowledge take a toll on one mentally and the demands of the Axe certainly test a person physically, but in the end the Au Ra has shown a decided amount of pluck and determination to succeed, no matter the setback. Orrin's endurance is impressive to say the least, the man able to take punishment and keep on trucking.</p> <br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />
<!--ATTIRE & PRESENTATION --><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --> <br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Speaking with a smooth and articulate baritone, Orrin embodies a learned Scholar through and through. His words, his voice, his demeanor speaks of his knowledge and is related into a confident assertion whenever the Raen speaks. Overall this creates an atmosphere of surety about the Au Ra, a learned presence that over time establishes a respectful quality in his voice.</div><br />

'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />

I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying.

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of doing so, the Raen has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. This stems not only for the materials in the make, but also for the functional utility that can be provided. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them useful, fashionable, and protective to the wearer. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />

<p>"Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience."</p><br />
<br><br />
<p>The theme and overarching idea I would like to RP with Orrin is a mixture of a Sage archetype along side a pursuit of power. The character inherently has no troubled upbringing to impart flaws and instead has grand designs to do good things without really understanding some of the far reaching consequences of his actions. Of course this will take time to build up to, and require a group of people to play it out with, but in the end I aim to create long term RP and have the character serve to support plots in unique ways. </p><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Standing at a tall seven fulms and two ilms the Raen carries all the natural intimidation associated with oen of his race. Male Au Ra tend to sport an uninviting demeanor between the sharp presentation of their horns and the natural crest of their brow, but this would be a deceptive first way to take Orrin as the man is anything but a typical Raen when it comes to his demeanor. Broad shoulders taper into a slimmer figure as is a natural physique for his race, complete with off-white scales and a strong tail that create the sizeable impression of any Au Ra. Given his dedication to a life of scholarly pursuits, it has been a difficult task for Orrin to balance his physical health with his mental pursuits, but swimming and an insatiable curiosity for all things have developed enough of a discipline in the Raen to keep at least a toned physique, if not outright muscular, from activities with the Marauder's guild.</div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Over time Orrin has developed a preference for clothing that is both flattering and functional. A difficult thing for the man to reconcile given his background is that he never wanted for clothing, or much of anything, and though he had no intention of he has developed expensive tastes when it comes to garb. Not only for the materials in the make, but also for the utility. Crystal woven pants and aetherically conductive metals do not spring cheaply from the ground, let alone the work necessary to making them both useful and fashionable. This does limit Orrin's overall wardrobe but what he lacks in variety he makes up for in pizzazz. At least, that's what he'd tell you. </div><br />

<!-- TEXT --><br />
::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">Born from a life without want and inspired by stories from home and around Eorzea, Orrin lived the life of a spoiled only child and grew into something of a pretentious and entitled little shit. However as war loomed on the horizon and Garlemald's impending invasion cast a palor over the City-States Orrin's ideal life soon came crashing down, and surviving the Calamity with his parents left him a deeply changed man. The repercussions that affected everyone around him in a time when he had so much was a catalyst that enacted a profound change in the man, and while his parents have returned home to Doma to escape the troubled lands of Eorzea, Orrin remains and grows still. Ever insatiable for knowledge, with a desire to do good for better or worse, the Raen takes what opportunity he can to lend assistance. Even if it is sometimes unnecessary. </div><br />

'''Alchemy'''<br />
<p>Early in his life Orrin took an interest in all things arcane and nearly related to. Alchemy was an easy secondary hobby for the boy to practice outside the safety of the Arcanists Guild and Ossuary studies, and what started as a hobby eventually became a point of pride for the Raen. One of the few talents he refined and developed, it has become one of Orrin's main forms of income as the man travels and produces unique tinctures and healing tonics to help feed the ever incessant demand generated by adventurers and refugees alike.</p><br />
<br><br />
'''Cooking'''<br />
<p>Playing off his experience as an alchemist and love of delicious food, Orrin is a surprisingly good cook. Not that this fact comes to light often but in a pinch and with the right ingredients he has been known to produce stellar meals for a group. Despite his skill, he doesn't make mention of it and downplays his capability. 'Mediocre at best.' is a common phrase from the man's mouth.</p><br />
<br> <br />
'''Quick Thinker'''<br />
<p> For better or worse Orrin has an innate ability to connect the dots and see a pattern, far faster than his peers often times, and this leads the man to have a natural knack for research and even occasionally in a fight when he's engaged in such. Of course this does have the unfortunate effect of the Raen being lead astray by assumptions made without enough information, jumping to conclusions that can be problematic in a scholarly or social setting.</p><br />

<br />
'''Aether Well'''<br />
<p> Growing up in Eorzea imparts a unique affinity for aether than many outside of it are not used ot. The 'aether sickness' that afflicted his parents when they first traveled to Eorzea was not something the boy suffered from when he was born and at an early age he showed a strong affinity for the magickal arts. This only continued to grow as he did and Orrin has developed his aetheric potential to become a well spring for the magic that his body can store, in no small part due to his Arcanist training he undertook.</p><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. <br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. There are key parts of his backstory that have been left out intentionally, and this is not the full history of my character. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.</div></div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">What I am looking for on an OOC level is long term and impactful Roleplay. Stories are not built over night and rapports are developed over time, and I'm keen on slowly building these foundations for greater stories with people interested in the same. I want to write stories with others that elicit a response, an emotional acknowledgement. That's why I enjoy roleplaying. If you're looking for heavy immersion, sincerity, and realism then you've found the right sort of roleplayer.</div></div><br />
