In his Hydaelyn, he trained at the Pugilists Guild. A gifted fighter, he earned many accolades and even joined the Immortal Flames of his own world. Along with others, he even held back the Garlean invasion force. However, Ultima Weapon showed up. When it used &quot;Ultima&quot;, it tore a tiny hole in the Interdimensional Rift. Just behind that hole were two beings that his world was not ready for. One was a machine, much like the Ultima Weapon. Only this machine was silver and stood on four wiery appendages, with a single eye. The other was a massive dragon, larger even than Bahamut, which looked to have gold and red scales. The two beings fought with such ferocity that it shook the entire planet. Ultima had wounded many of his companions. He and a handful of others stayed behind while the rest escaped. He watched as the two completely obliterated Ultima Weapon with a single strike as if it were little more than aluminum foil. Burning charged at the golden dragon, but a single swipe almost took off his entire face before he was grabbed by the massive dragon and thrown through the gateway into the Rift, which sealed behind him. He could only watch as his entire world was utterly destroyed by those two monsters. Everything he had ever known and loved was gone.<br /> <br /> This new place was cold and dark. He navigated it for months. Fighting fiercely powerful monsters and defeating them, but only barely. In time, he came across a small library. Inside were many books. Most of the books contained the secrets of this place, the Interdimensional Rift, a plane between realities. The books even told of the two he fought. The machine, Omega, and the dragon, Shinryu. The tale goes that the two have been fighting for aeons without rest, and have left entire worlds destroyed in their wake. The books also told of the Rift's many other secrets. About the many other worlds connected to The Rift, and of who was capable of wielding power over it. There were even books on such people, as if the books were writing themselves! One book told of a knight of darkness who lost his body in combat, but was brought to life with the power of The Rift to become an ultimate evil. Another told of a samurai clad in red in the search for the most powerful weapons ever to be forged in preparation to meet with his ultimate rival. Yet another speaks of another warrior, granted the blessing of her goddess with great power and an even greater task.<br /> <br /> Eventually, he reached one book on a shelf which bestowed upon him the knowledge upon how to traverse The Rift and, better, how to leave. Following the book's instruction, he attempted to locate where his world had once been. It may have been destroyed, but there must still be survivors there. He did eventually find where his world was, but saw nothing but destruction. The entire world was comprised of nothing but massive craters and ruins as far as the eye could see. It was completely unrecognizable. Seeing no life on this dead world, he returned to The Rift and wandered. Days became weeks. Weeks became months. And in time, he felt responsible for the deaths of all of those people. Sure, he was not the cause of it, it was that damn Ultima Weapon and that damn Gaius von Baelsar that executed the Ultima attack that brought Omega and Shinryu into his world, and it was them who destroyed it. He was helpless to stop it. Everyone was. But eventually, he found something impossible. It was his home, Hydaelyn! But it was different, somehow. He wasn't quite sure how, but it was his home! Maybe it hadn't been destroyed after all!<br /> <br /> He entered this world, and it did feel like his own world. But no one knew who he was. His friends no longer existed in this reality. Many he fought alongside with had no recollection of such events and didn't know who he was. It was a cosmic joke. Burning Passion was back on Hydaelyn, but it wasn't his Hydaelyn. It wasn't his world. It wasn't his Eorzea, it wasn't his Ul'dah, it wasn't his Sultana, it wasn't his Flame Commander, it wasn't his master in the Pugilist's Guild, everything was wrong! But Burning had no choice. This world was plagued by the same crisis his own had faced. It was his duty to protect it. In this world, Gaius had not yet activated Ultima. He was in time to stop it! He volunteered for the raid party on Castrum Meridium, now fully aware of the Ultima Weapon's true potential. Immediately as the fight began, Burning aimed for a particular device strapped to Ultima Weapon, damaging its abilities enough to lessen the power of Ultima. It managed to succeed, but caused the Ultima Weapon to malfunction and explode.<br /> <br /> Thanks to Burning, the crack in the Rift did not open and those two foul calamities did not unleash hell on this world. Though only Burning was aware of that. No one else thought anything of such things. Heck, he was certain that no one of this world even knew what the Interdimensional Rift even was other than him. But one thing was for certain. This Hydaelyn was his home now. And he had to ensure that Omega and Shinryu were never given the chance to destroy this world as they had his own. Never.<br /> ==Annotations==</div>

Only this machine was silver and stood on four wiery appendages, with a single eye. The other was a massive dragon, larger even than Bahamut, which looked to have gold and red scales. The two beings fought with such ferocity that it shook the entire planet. Ultima had wounded many of his companions. He and a handful of others stayed behind while the rest escaped. He watched as the two completely obliterated Ultima Weapon with a single strike as if it were little more than aluminum foil. Burning charged at the golden dragon, but a single swipe almost took off his entire face before he was grabbed by the massive dragon and thrown through the gateway into the Rift, which sealed behind him. He could only watch as his entire world was utterly destroyed by those two monsters. Everything he had ever known and loved was gone.<br /> <br /> This new place was cold and dark. He navigated it for months. Fighting fiercely powerful monsters and defeating them, but only barely. In time, he came across a small library. Inside were many books. Most of the books contained the secrets of this place, the Interdimensional Rift, a plane between realities. The books even told of the two he fought. The machine, Omega, and the dragon, Shinryu. The tale goes that the two have been fighting for aeons without rest, and have left entire worlds destroyed in their wake. The books also told of the Rift's many other secrets. About the many other worlds connected to The Rift, and of who was capable of wielding power over it. There were even books on such people, as if the books were writing themselves! One book told of a knight of darkness who lost his body in combat, but was brought to life with the power of The Rift to become an ultimate evil. Another told of a samurai clad in red in the search for the most powerful weapons ever to be forged in preparation to meet with his ultimate rival. Yet another speaks of another warrior, granted the blessing of her goddess with great power and an even greater task.<br /> <br /> Eventually, he reached one book on a shelf which bestowed upon him the knowledge upon how to traverse The Rift and, better, how to leave. Following the book's instruction, he attempted to locate where his world had once been. It may have been destroyed, but there must still be survivors there. He did eventually find where his world was, but saw nothing but destruction. The entire world was comprised of nothing but massive craters and ruins as far as the eye could see. It was completely unrecognizable. Seeing no life on this dead world, he returned to The Rift and wandered. Days became weeks. Weeks became months. And in time, he felt responsible for the deaths of all of those people. Sure, he was not the cause of it, it was that damn Ultima Weapon and that damn Gaius von Baelsar that executed the Ultima attack that brought Omega and Shinryu into his world, and it was them who destroyed it. He was helpless to stop it. Everyone was. But eventually, he found something impossible. It was his home, Hydaelyn! But it was different, somehow. He wasn't quite sure how, but it was his home! Maybe it hadn't been destroyed after all!<br /> <br /> He entered this world, and it did feel like his own world. But no one knew who he was. His friends no longer existed in this reality. Many he fought alongside with had no recollection of such events and didn't know who he was. It was a cosmic joke. Burning Passion was back on Hydaelyn, but it wasn't his Hydaelyn. It wasn't his world. It wasn't his Eorzea, it wasn't his Ul'dah, it wasn't his Sultana, it wasn't his Flame Commander, it wasn't his master in the Pugilist's Guild, everything was wrong! But Burning had no choice. This world was plagued by the same crisis his own had faced. It was his duty to protect it. In this world, Gaius had not yet activated Ultima. He was in time to stop it! He volunteered for the raid party on Castrum Meridium, now fully aware of the Ultima Weapon's true potential. Immediately as the fight began, Burning aimed for a particular device strapped to Ultima Weapon, damaging its abilities enough to lessen the power of Ultima. It managed to succeed, but caused the Ultima Weapon to malfunction and explode.<br /> <br /> Thanks to Burning, the crack in the Rift did not open and those two foul calamities did not unleash hell on this world. Though only Burning was aware of that. No one else thought anything of such things. Heck, he was certain that no one of this world even knew what the Interdimensional Rift even was other than him. But one thing was for certain. This Hydaelyn was his home now. And he had to ensure that Omega and Shinryu were never given the chance to destroy this world as they had his own. Never.<br /> ==Annotations==</div>

The world as he knows it and many of the people in it are exactly the same, but many more are complete strangers to him when he should be familiar and many of his previous contacts no longer exist. Regardless, he has come to terms with his predicament and continues to fight against the Primals and the Beastmen of this new reality just as he had in the old. What else could he do? He couldn't go back, but this world was so similar to the old one, that it hardly made any difference at all.<br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> <br /> &lt;Clothing TBD, will be more concrete during Patch 2.2 when Vanity Slots are released.&gt;<br /> <br /> Burning is a Roegadyn and, as such is a very large, very stocky individual. He has darkly tanned skin and vibrant red hair with golden highlights, looking as if to resemble fire itself. He has four parallel scars over his left eye and nose, which originate from a scrap with his Coeurl partner, Raja, when he was much younger.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> <br /> Burning is a very gung-ho and energetic man who has a great passion for adventuring and fighting against the forces of evil. And despite what his demeanor and lack of significant intelligence would belie, he has a very firm grasp over common sense and wisdom moreso than most, nevermind what most would expect. He can easily determine what is truly evil and what is merely misguided and misunderstood, and even goes so far as to openly admit that, despite being chosen as one of Hydaelyn's champions, he shares a deep and profound respect and admiration for the primal Ramuh and would never actively fight him unless absolutely necessary, and even then with a heavy heart.<br /> <br /> Burning otherwise takes on any task he sets himself on with an uncommon amount of energy and gusto, often making fire-themed puns. He has even titled many of his own fighting combinations in much the same way (Searing Sidesplitter, Backburner, Widespread Inferno, and Scorching Sunder, to name a few). He has a true affinity and fascination with fire, stopping at nothing to express that side of himself as much as possible.<br /> <br /> ==Combat==<br /> ===General===<br /> <br /> Burning is a classically trained Pugilist who has since unlocked his chakra and has taken on the mystical abilities of the Monk. However, in order to fully master his martial arts, he is also training in other styles of combat as well, ranging from that of the Gladiator, the Marauder, and the Lancer, so that he may not only have a multitude of styles to choose from for any potential combat situation, but also to mix his fighting styles together, optimizing his own skills as a fighter.<br /> <br /> It is true, also, that he wishes to someday also learn how to use magic. Hydaelyn has blessed him with the ability to use magic despite his lack of aptitude in understanding how it actually works, allowing him to use magic almost purely relying on instinct and second nature.<br /> <br /> ==Tendencies==<br /> ===Likes===<br /> ::* Anything Fire or Fire-related<br /> ::* Combat and Fighting<br /> ::* Training<br /> <br /> ===Dislikes===<br /> ::* Anything Ice or Ice-related<br /> ::* Coerthas<br /> ::* Doing Nothing<br /> <br /> ===Hobbies/Talents===<br /> ::* Training<br /> ::* Forging Weapons, Armor, and Tools<br /> ::* Gift of Wisdom (The ability to understand without knowing)<br /> <br /> ===Other===<br /> ::* Common use of fire-related puns or slang.<br /> ::* Views the primal Ifrit as less of a threat and more of a rival.<br /> ::* Views the primal Ramuh as a kindred soul who only wishes to protect the Twelveswood, unworthy of being shown anything less than the utmost respect.<br /> <br /> ==Relationships==<br /> ===Family===<br /> <br /> Burning's mother and father both work at the Ceruleum Processing Facility. He ran away from home when he was a boy, so he has no idea where they are right now, nor does he care too much. What he does know is that they are probably still alive and still working at that processing facility, and even his disappearance from that reality probably didn't affect them much.<br /> <br /> Burning is an only child.<br /> <br /> ===Friends===<br /> <br /> Burning is formerly of the Free Company known as The Hawks, and had made a few friends during his time there. However, in this new reality that he lives in, he has no friends to speak of. But he's always eager to make some!<br /> <br /> ===Enemies===<br /> <br /> Burning counts the Ascian known as Lahabrea as well as the Primals Titan, Garuda, and Bahamut amongst his true enemies. Due to a mutual affinity for fire, he views Ifrit more as a rival than a true enemy, but still fights without holding back. Outside of those enemies, there is no one else he truly considers his foe.<br /> <br /> ==Rumors==<br /> ===Common Rumors===<br /> ::* &lt;None Yet&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Moderate Rumors===<br /> ::* &lt;None Yet&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Rare Rumors===<br /> ::* &lt;None Yet&gt;<br /> <br /> ===PC Rumors===<br /> ::* &lt;None Yet&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ==History/Timeline==<br /> <br /> Burning was born in a near-identical parallel universe to this one, to a couple of Ceruleum Processing Plant workers. Living in Northern Thanalan was rough for a Roegadyn kid as there weren't any other kids to really play with, and it was always too dangerous to play even if there were a chance. One day, the young Roegadyn spotted a Coeurl pup on the side of the road, abandoned from its mother. He brought the pup home and begged his parents to let him keep it, to which they begrudgingly agreed after a lot of begging. Burning grew up with this Coeurl Pup and was actually inspired to be so enthusiastic by the energy this pup had. One day, while the now teen Burning and the more mature coeurl, which he named Raja, were fighting, Raja slashed Burning's face with one of its claws. Burning's parents, appalled by this, were about ready to call in an adventurer to slay the coeurl. Even after the particularly nasty and disfiguring injury to his face, he begged his parents again to spare Raja. This time, they didn't listen. Afraid for Raja and angry at his parents for wanting to kill his only friend, he gathered his belongings and rode Raja out to Ul'dah without a word, not telling his parents where he was going.<br /> <br /> Three days after he had arrived in Ul'dah, he was starving. His money had run out and both he and Raja were looking for any kind of food to eat. It was then that an old man saw the two and he held his hand out to Burning, guiding him and Raja to the Pugilist's Guild, where they were both brought back up to full strength. The old man, introducing himself as Hamon Holyfist, saw the potential in Burning to be a great fighter, and directed him towards a Lalafell named Momodi over at the Quicksand to become registered as an adventurer.<br /> <br /> As time went on, he studied with Hamon and, through Momodi, eventually became introduced to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and worked under them for a while. It was when he was working alongside one of their veteran members, Thancred, that he first met the primal Ifrit, Lord of the Inferno. Being immune to Ifrit's tempering and throwing the primal off-guard with that, he openly challenged Ifrit to a one-on-one match and somehow managed to succeed. Before Ifrit vanished, he declared that Ifrit would forever be his rival for the title of the true Lord of the Inferno. Burning had no idea what Ifrit's thoughts to that even were, but it was just something else that would continue to drive him to get ever stronger.<br /> <br /> In time, he eventually joined a free company known as &quot;The Hawks&quot;. Alongside them, he fought his way through Castrum Meridium and defeated the man known as Gaius von Baelsar, which was a huge victory in the name of Eorzea. But with the roars of Bahamut in the distance, he knew that his work was yet to be complete, and he relished that thought with all of his being as he continued training harder and harder for the day that he would come face-to-face with Bahamut himself.<br /> <br /> One day, during a training session in Mor Dhona, he was training his martial arts skills on the crystal formations, when out of nowhere, pure darkness enveloped him. He was hovering and he looked around. It was reminiscent of the moments when he communicated with Hydaelyn, but this was different. In this place, there was nothing. He had no idea where he was, but it was cold, dark, and void of life. Being completely shut off from all other life and physical stimuli, he fainted from the shock. He awoke, laying on his back in the same place he was training before. Had it been a dream? He continued on his day until he realized that his Free Company linkshell was eerily silent. He attempted to communicate with the others, only to find that there was no response.<br /> <br /> He then wandered all over Eorzea trying to find them. He found many lookalikes, but he never found any of his friends. They were gone. And when he asked about The Hawks, they weren't even listed as a registered Free Company! He even went to his Grand Company headquarters, thinking this was all some elaborate prank, and not only was he no longer a registered Flame Lieutenant, but officers that he had been doing business with for ages didn't even know who he was! He eventually worked hard to re-earn his rank in the Immortal Flames, which was a lot of hard work. Eventually, he crossed paths with a peculiar Miqo'te scholar. Upon conversing with him and telling him his story, the miqo'te surmised that Burning had, in fact, jumped into an identical parallel dimension, which could be related to the circulating rumors of a mysterious woman in outlandish clothing appearing in La Noscea.<br /> <br /> Accepting what the miqo'te had said, he surrendered to the fact that he may never see his world again, but regardless, he was still an adventurer and he was still Eorzean. Even if he was fighting for a different Eorzea, it made no difference. He would start again, make new friends, join a new Free Company, and fight evil with a burning passion!<br /> <br /> ==Annotations==</div>

Hydaelyn has blessed him with the ability to use magic despite his lack of aptitude in understanding how it actually works, allowing him to use magic almost purely relying on instinct and second nature.<br /> <br /> ==Tendencies==<br /> ===Likes===<br /> ::* Anything Fire or Fire-related<br /> ::* Combat and Fighting<br /> ::* Training<br /> <br /> ===Dislikes===<br /> ::* Anything Ice or Ice-related<br /> ::* Coerthas<br /> ::* Doing Nothing<br /> <br /> ===Hobbies/Talents===<br /> ::* Training<br /> ::* Forging Weapons, Armor, and Tools<br /> ::* Gift of Wisdom (The ability to understand without knowing)<br /> <br /> ===Other===<br /> ::* Common use of fire-related puns or slang.<br /> ::* Views the primal Ifrit as less of a threat and more of a rival.<br /> ::* Views the primal Ramuh as a kindred soul who only wishes to protect the Twelveswood, unworthy of being shown anything less than the utmost respect.<br /> <br /> ==Relationships==<br /> ===Family===<br /> <br /> Burning's mother and father both work at the Ceruleum Processing Facility. He ran away from home when he was a boy, so he has no idea where they are right now, nor does he care too much. What he does know is that they are probably still alive and still working at that processing facility, and even his disappearance from that reality probably didn't affect them much.<br /> <br /> Burning is an only child.<br /> <br /> ===Friends===<br /> <br /> Burning is formerly of the Free Company known as The Hawks, and had made a few friends during his time there. However, in this new reality that he lives in, he has no friends to speak of. But he's always eager to make some!<br /> <br /> ===Enemies===<br /> <br /> Burning counts the Ascian known as Lahabrea as well as the Primals Titan, Garuda, and Bahamut amongst his true enemies. Due to a mutual affinity for fire, he views Ifrit more as a rival than a true enemy, but still fights without holding back. Outside of those enemies, there is no one else he truly considers his foe.<br /> <br /> ==Rumors==<br /> ===Common Rumors===<br /> ::* &lt;None Yet&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Moderate Rumors===<br /> ::* &lt;None Yet&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Rare Rumors===<br /> ::* &lt;None Yet&gt;<br /> <br /> ===PC Rumors===<br /> ::* &lt;None Yet&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ==History/Timeline==<br /> <br /> Burning was born in a near-identical parallel universe to this one, to a couple of Ceruleum Processing Plant workers. Living in Northern Thanalan was rough for a Roegadyn kid as there weren't any other kids to really play with, and it was always too dangerous to play even if there were a chance. One day, the young Roegadyn spotted a Coeurl pup on the side of the road, abandoned from its mother. He brought the pup home and begged his parents to let him keep it, to which they begrudgingly agreed after a lot of begging. Burning grew up with this Coeurl Pup and was actually inspired to be so enthusiastic by the energy this pup had. One day, while the now teen Burning and the more mature coeurl, which he named Raja, were fighting, Raja slashed Burning's face with one of its claws. Burning's parents, appalled by this, were about ready to call in an adventurer to slay the coeurl. Even after the particularly nasty and disfiguring injury to his face, he begged his parents again to spare Raja. This time, they didn't listen. Afraid for Raja and angry at his parents for wanting to kill his only friend, he gathered his belongings and rode Raja out to Ul'dah without a word, not telling his parents where he was going.<br /> <br /> Three days after he had arrived in Ul'dah, he was starving. His money had run out and both he and Raja were looking for any kind of food to eat. It was then that an old man saw the two and he held his hand out to Burning, guiding him and Raja to the Pugilist's Guild, where they were both brought back up to full strength. The old man, introducing himself as Hamon Holyfist, saw the potential in Burning to be a great fighter, and directed him towards a Lalafell named Momodi over at the Quicksand to become registered as an adventurer.<br /> <br /> As time went on, he studied with Hamon and, through Momodi, eventually became introduced to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and worked under them for a while. It was when he was working alongside one of their veteran members, Thancred, that he first met the primal Ifrit, Lord of the Inferno. Being immune to Ifrit's tempering and throwing the primal off-guard with that, he openly challenged Ifrit to a one-on-one match and somehow managed to succeed. Before Ifrit vanished, he declared that Ifrit would forever be his rival for the title of the true Lord of the Inferno. Burning had no idea what Ifrit's thoughts to that even were, but it was just something else that would continue to drive him to get ever stronger.<br /> <br /> In time, he eventually joined a free company known as &quot;The Hawks&quot;. Alongside them, he fought his way through Castrum Meridium and defeated the man known as Gaius von Baelsar, which was a huge victory in the name of Eorzea. But with the roars of Bahamut in the distance, he knew that his work was yet to be complete, and he relished that thought with all of his being as he continued training harder and harder for the day that he would come face-to-face with Bahamut himself.<br /> <br /> One day, during a training session in Mor Dhona, he was training his martial arts skills on the crystal formations, when out of nowhere, pure darkness enveloped him. He was hovering and he looked around. It was reminiscent of the moments when he communicated with Hydaelyn, but this was different. In this place, there was nothing. He had no idea where he was, but it was cold, dark, and void of life. Being completely shut off from all other life and physical stimuli, he fainted from the shock. He awoke, laying on his back in the same place he was training before. Had it been a dream? He continued on his day until he realized that his Free Company linkshell was eerily silent. He attempted to communicate with the others, only to find that there was no response.<br /> <br /> He then wandered all over Eorzea trying to find them. He found many lookalikes, but he never found any of his friends. They were gone. And when he asked about The Hawks, they weren't even listed as a registered Free Company! He even went to his Grand Company headquarters, thinking this was all some elaborate prank, and not only was he no longer a registered Flame Lieutenant, but officers that he had been doing business with for ages didn't even know who he was! He eventually worked hard to re-earn his rank in the Immortal Flames, which was a lot of hard work. Eventually, he crossed paths with a peculiar Miqo'te scholar. Upon conversing with him and telling him his story, the miqo'te surmised that Burning had, in fact, jumped into an identical parallel dimension, which could be related to the circulating rumors of a mysterious woman in outlandish clothing appearing in La Noscea.<br /> <br /> Accepting what the miqo'te had said, he surrendered to the fact that he may never see his world again, but regardless, he was still an adventurer and he was still Eorzean. Even if he was fighting for a different Eorzea, it made no difference. He would start again, make new friends, join a new Free Company, and fight evil with a burning passion!<br /> <br /> ==Annotations==</div>

He is devoted to the study of magic and strives to ultimately become one of Limsa Lominsa's finest scholars. He was taught the arts of the Arcanist by his teacher, <br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> <br /> As a Miqo'te, Virgil has the typical Miqo'te ears. His fur and his hair are copper in color, with lighter shading on the tips. Anyone of great perception could tell that his hair is dyed and his face is covered in makeup to make him look like a fullbreed Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te. Without the dye, the tips of his hair takes on a light lavender color. Without the makeup, his skin takes on a slightly more ashen grey tone. He usually covers the rest of his body up because of this, but will dress down if needed, regardless of what other people think about such a thing. His build is rather slim and tall, but not very muscular. He is quite lanky, however.<br /> <br /> His clothes often change to whatever suits him at the time. He has several outfits, depending on occasion. However, his most common wear is that which he wears while representing The Maelstrom, donning the Grand Company's deep red colors.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> <br /> Virgil, despite being so young, has the temperament of a much older man. Wise far beyond his years, exceptionally tolerant of others, and sees himself very much as someone who is always happy to lend his aid to anyone in need. Many of his own behaviors are modeled after the Arcanist Guild's Guildmaster, who had mysteriously disappeared during the Fall of Meteor incident. He looks up to his Guildmaster with deep respect as his mentor in life. Virgil is heavily devoted to his studies and his goals to become a scholar because of the Guildmaster's influence.<br /> <br /> Virgil doesn't like talking about his parentage. He will speak fondly of his father, who is alive and well as a fisherman and cook in Limsa Lominsa, but when asked about his mother or his tribe, he will often try to evade the question as much as he can without being too rude about it. He does, however, treat Seekers of the Sun and Keepers of the Moon with equal respect. This goes double for both genders of each, something that would be of great surprise to other Miqo'te, who live in very patriarchal or matriarchal societies.<br /> <br /> Virgil gets very easily excited over the study of magic and magical theory. He could go on for hours on the subjects of Rift Theory, the symbiosis between Arcanist and Carbuncle, the mutuality between the Conjurer and nature, and even the process in which Thaumaturges channel their own magical energies into fearsome power. Such topics get him very excited and may cause him to ramble on and on about such things, especially so to someone who is willing to listen.<br /> <br /> Names are something that Virgil has great difficulty remembering. However, he always apologizes profusely when forgetful of the names of others because he never means it to be an insult, it is simply how his mind works.<br /> <br /> In any and all things, Virgil values politeness and kindness above all else. Even the least educated gentleman is far more favorable company than the most educated prude.<br /> <br /> ==Combat==<br /> ===General===<br /> <br /> Virgil is a master of magical combat and has ample experience in both Conjury and Thaumaturgy while specializing in the Arcane Arts and even uncovering the lost art of the Allagian Scholars. As his own magical skill improves, so too will his combat prowess. His primary weakness lies in the physical combat arts.<br /> <br /> ==Tendencies==<br /> ===Likes===<br /> ::* Magic<br /> ::* Maritime Landscapes<br /> ::* Reading<br /> <br /> ===Dislikes===<br /> ::* Cynicism<br /> ::* Bright Areas<br /> ::* Weapon Combat<br /> <br /> ===Hobbies/Talents===<br /> ::* Magical Theory and Practice<br /> ::* Empathy and Understanding<br /> ::* Intellectual Debate and Reasoning<br /> <br /> ===Other===<br /> ::* Halfbreed (Seeker/Keeper)<br /> ::* Mentor (Arcanist Guildmaster)<br /> ::* Gay Male<br /> <br /> ==Relationships==<br /> ===Family===<br /> <br /> Virgil is an only child of two parents. His father, G'kala Nunh, is a Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te male fisherman who also enjoys cooking. Virgil as a respect and admiration for his father as anyone would towards a loving parent. Virgil especially likes his father's grilled fish! His mother's information is not public knowledge. His godfather, Eadgar Fletcher, is a poet living in Limsa Lominsa with his wife, the fisherwoman and G'kala's best friend, Bhariwyb Greinfyswyn (Bar-ee-wibb grine-fiss-win). It was Eadgar and Bhariwyb (Bhari for short) that named Virgil in order to settle a dispute between G'Kala and Virgil's mother.<br /> <br /> ===Friends===<br /> <br /> Being an unofficial member of the Arcanist's Guild for years prior to his formal admittance in the guild, he has many friends amongst the Arcanist community. He looks at the guildmaster as his mentor.<br /> <br /> ===Enemies===<br /> <br /> With Virgil's upbringing by both his father and the Arcanist Guildmaster, his personality was shaped into being very tolerant and open-minded early in his life. He has never made any enemies, to his knowledge. However, with his Eorzean citizenship, he may consider anyone who would attack Limsa Lominsa or Eorzea as a whole as being his enemy.<br /> <br /> ==Rumors==<br /> ===Common Rumors===<br /> ::* Virgil's first name comes from Virgil, the famed poet of the Third Astral Era, who wrote the mythology behind the founding of the Allagian Empire and of the famed Onion Knight of Legend, a refugee from an ancient kingdom for which the famed Onion Knights of the Empire were named.<br /> ::* Virgil's last name, Manentyv, is a Roegadyn word, translating to Moon-Thief. What could that mean?<br /> ::* Virgil has written much on the subject of magic, some of which has even been published!<br /> <br /> ===Moderate Rumors===<br /> ::* It is said that Virgil's last name actually refers to how his father stole the heart of a Keeper of the Moon woman.<br /> ::* Virgil is trying to find his other half, but it is of low priority to him. He would like to settle down someday once threats to the land have ended.<br /> ::* Virgil much prefers the company of men to the company of women, though treats both equally in terms of respect.<br /> <br /> ===Rare Rumors===<br /> ::* Virgil's mother might actually be the criminal known as Asha Jawantal, a Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te who is currently wanted by Gridanian authorities on counts of theft. She is also suspected of treason, having been seen evading border guards on her way to Garlemald.<br /> ::* Virgil dyes his hair and applies makeup to his skin because he doesn't want to deal with questions about his mother, preferring to blend in as a Seeker of the Sun rather than a halfbreed.<br /> <br /> ===PC Rumors===<br /> ::* Currently no PC Rumors to report yet.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==History/Timeline==<br /> <br /> Virgil was born in Limsa Lominsa. His auburn hair had lavender streaks. His parents argued over how to name the child properly as fitting with custom, when Virgil's named godparents, G'kala's best friends, broke the two of them up and offered to name the child in compromise. The parents both reluctantly agreed and he was named Virgil by his godfather and given the surname Manentyv by his godmother. Weeks later, Asha left Limsa Lominsa without a word, never to return, leaving G'kala to care for the boy. As the boy grew up, he hated the sunlight and would avoid it whenever possible. This interfered with any chance of playing with the other children. It was then that the Arcanist Guildmaster, a friend and regular customer of G'kala's, decided to look after the boy while the boy's father was making a living. While at the Arcanist's Guild, Virgil was taught to read and he read many books and asked many questions. He looked to the Guildmaster as a mentor that he modeled himself after out of the deep respect he had for him.<br /> <br /> When he was 16, he saw Bahamut's Mega-Flare light up the skies red with streaks of fire. If not for the Guildmaster using an incredibly powerful Protect spell, Virgil would have surely perished that day. He was then escorted into the Arcanist's Guild and told to stay inside. Once the calamity was over, the Guildmaster was nowhere to be found. In this instance, the assistant Guildmaster took over as acting Guildmaster until the Guildmaster returned. Virgil reluctantly agreed to this and continued to study hard, now with the goal, when he was older, to study all forms of magic, become a Scholar, find the Guildmaster, and return him to Limsa Lominsa.<br /> <br /> During his studies, he had heard rumors of his mother from various adventurers, but largely ignored these. He didn't like the idea that his mother was a criminal of theft and treason and tried to block everything out, even going so far as to dye his own hair and apply makeup to hide his own origins.<br /> <br /> Eventually, he was formally accepted into the Arcanist's Guild. Proud to accept the honor, he trained hard at his chosen profession and formed a bond with his Carbuncle. His progress was astoundingly fast as he had prepared his entire life for this goal. He has also taken up Conjury and Thaumaturgy in order to improve his own magical knowledge. With these, he has found the Guildmaster and, as per his instructions, continues to study all three main principles of magic without rest. Through perseverance, he has even managed to uncover the secrets behind the lost Scholars. He will continue to study magic and defend Limsa Lominsa to his dying breath.<br /> <br /> Virgil was approached by a Hyur by the name of [[Garryson Shipkeeper]] with a business proposition one night while Virgil was enjoying a bowl of ice cream: To join a free company of individuals with various skills in differing fields. This free company is known as XI:7, and here he has remained.<br /> <br /> ==External References==<br /> <br /> [http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/1614896/ Virgil's Lodestone]</div>

He is devoted to the study of magic and strives to ultimately become one of Limsa Lominsa's finest scholars. He was taught the arts of the Arcanist by his teacher, <br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> <br /> As a Miqo'te, Virgil has the typical Miqo'te ears. His fur and his hair are copper in color, with lighter shading on the tips. Anyone of great perception could tell that his hair is dyed and his face is covered in makeup to make him look like a fullbreed Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te. Without the dye, the tips of his hair takes on a light lavender color. Without the makeup, his skin takes on a slightly more ashen grey tone. He usually covers the rest of his body up because of this, but will dress down if needed, regardless of what other people think about such a thing. His build is rather slim and tall, but not very muscular. He is quite lanky, however.<br /> <br /> His clothes often change to whatever suits him at the time. He has several outfits, depending on occasion. However, his most common wear is that which he wears while representing The Maelstrom, donning the Grand Company's deep red colors.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> <br /> Virgil, despite being so young, has the temperament of a much older man. Wise far beyond his years, exceptionally tolerant of others, and sees himself very much as someone who is always happy to lend his aid to anyone in need. Many of his own behaviors are modeled after the Arcanist Guild's Guildmaster, who had mysteriously disappeared during the Fall of Meteor incident. He looks up to his Guildmaster with deep respect as his mentor in life. Virgil is heavily devoted to his studies and his goals to become a scholar because of the Guildmaster's influence.<br /> <br /> Virgil doesn't like talking about his parentage. He will speak fondly of his father, who is alive and well as a fisherman and cook in Limsa Lominsa, but when asked about his mother or his tribe, he will often try to evade the question as much as he can without being too rude about it. He does, however, treat Seekers of the Sun and Keepers of the Moon with equal respect. This goes double for both genders of each, something that would be of great surprise to other Miqo'te, who live in very patriarchal or matriarchal societies.<br /> <br /> Virgil gets very easily excited over the study of magic and magical theory. He could go on for hours on the subjects of Rift Theory, the symbiosis between Arcanist and Carbuncle, the mutuality between the Conjurer and nature, and even the process in which Thaumaturges channel their own magical energies into fearsome power. Such topics get him very excited and may cause him to ramble on and on about such things, especially so to someone who is willing to listen.<br /> <br /> Names are something that Virgil has great difficulty remembering. However, he always apologizes profusely when forgetful of the names of others because he never means it to be an insult, it is simply how his mind works.<br /> <br /> In any and all things, Virgil values politeness and kindness above all else. Even the least educated gentleman is far more favorable company than the most educated prude.<br /> <br /> ==Combat==<br /> ===General===<br /> <br /> Virgil is a master of magical combat and has ample experience in both Conjury and Thaumaturgy while specializing in the Arcane Arts and even uncovering the lost art of the Allagian Scholars. As his own magical skill improves, so too will his combat prowess.

His father, G'kala Nunh, is a Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te male fisherman who also enjoys cooking. Virgil as a respect and admiration for his father as anyone would towards a loving parent. Virgil especially likes his father's grilled fish! His mother's information is not public knowledge. His godfather, Eadgar Fletcher, is a poet living in Limsa Lominsa with his wife, the fisherwoman and G'kala's best friend, Bhariwyb Greinfyswyn (Bar-ee-wibb grine-fiss-win). It was Eadgar and Bhariwyb (Bhari for short) that named Virgil in order to settle a dispute between G'Kala and Virgil's mother.<br /> <br /> ===Friends===<br /> <br /> Being an unofficial member of the Arcanist's Guild for years prior to his formal admittance in the guild, he has many friends amongst the Arcanist community. He looks at the guildmaster as his mentor.<br /> <br /> ===Enemies===<br /> <br /> With Virgil's upbringing by both his father and the Arcanist Guildmaster, his personality was shaped into being very tolerant and open-minded early in his life. He has never made any enemies, to his knowledge. However, with his Eorzean citizenship, he may consider anyone who would attack Limsa Lominsa or Eorzea as a whole as being his enemy.<br /> <br /> ==Rumors==<br /> ===Common Rumors===<br /> ::* Virgil's first name comes from Virgil, the famed poet of the Third Astral Era, who wrote the mythology behind the founding of the Allagian Empire and of the famed Onion Knight of Legend, a refugee from an ancient kingdom for which the famed Onion Knights of the Empire were named.<br /> ::* Virgil's last name, Manentyv, is a Roegadyn word, translating to Moon-Thief. What could that mean?<br /> ::* Virgil has written much on the subject of magic, some of which has even been published!<br /> <br /> ===Moderate Rumors===<br /> ::* It is said that Virgil's last name actually refers to how his father stole the heart of a Keeper of the Moon woman.<br /> ::* Virgil is trying to find his other half, but it is of low priority to him. He would like to settle down someday once threats to the land have ended.<br /> ::* Virgil much prefers the company of men to the company of women, though treats both equally in terms of respect.<br /> <br /> ===Rare Rumors===<br /> ::* Virgil's mother might actually be the criminal known as Asha Jawantal, a Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te who is currently wanted by Gridanian authorities on counts of theft. She is also suspected of treason, having been seen evading border guards on her way to Garlemald.<br /> ::* Virgil dyes his hair and applies makeup to his skin because he doesn't want to deal with questions about his mother, preferring to blend in as a Seeker of the Sun rather than a halfbreed.<br /> <br /> ===PC Rumors===<br /> ::* Currently no PC Rumors to report yet.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==History/Timeline==<br /> <br /> Virgil was born in Limsa Lominsa. His auburn hair had lavender streaks. His parents argued over how to name the child properly as fitting with custom, when Virgil's named godparents, G'kala's best friends, broke the two of them up and offered to name the child in compromise. The parents both reluctantly agreed and he was named Virgil by his godfather and given the surname Manentyv by his godmother. Weeks later, Asha left Limsa Lominsa without a word, never to return, leaving G'kala to care for the boy. As the boy grew up, he hated the sunlight and would avoid it whenever possible. This interfered with any chance of playing with the other children. It was then that the Arcanist Guildmaster, a friend and regular customer of G'kala's, decided to look after the boy while the boy's father was making a living. While at the Arcanist's Guild, Virgil was taught to read and he read many books and asked many questions. He looked to the Guildmaster as a mentor that he modeled himself after out of the deep respect he had for him.<br /> <br /> When he was 16, he saw Bahamut's Mega-Flare light up the skies red with streaks of fire. If not for the Guildmaster using an incredibly powerful Protect spell, Virgil would have surely perished that day. He was then escorted into the Arcanist's Guild and told to stay inside. Once the calamity was over, the Guildmaster was nowhere to be found. In this instance, the assistant Guildmaster took over as acting Guildmaster until the Guildmaster returned. Virgil reluctantly agreed to this and continued to study hard, now with the goal, when he was older, to study all forms of magic, become a Scholar, find the Guildmaster, and return him to Limsa Lominsa.<br /> <br /> During his studies, he had heard rumors of his mother from various adventurers, but largely ignored these. He didn't like the idea that his mother was a criminal of theft and treason and tried to block everything out, even going so far as to dye his own hair and apply makeup to hide his own origins.<br /> <br /> Eventually, he was formally accepted into the Arcanist's Guild. Proud to accept the honor, he trained hard at his chosen profession and formed a bond with his Carbuncle. His progress was astoundingly fast as he had prepared his entire life for this goal. He has also taken up Conjury and Thaumaturgy in order to improve his own magical knowledge. With these, he has found the Guildmaster and, as per his instructions, continues to study all three main principles of magic without rest. Through perseverance, he has even managed to uncover the secrets behind the lost Scholars. He will continue to study magic and defend Limsa Lominsa to his dying breath.<br /> <br /> Virgil was approached by a Hyur by the name of [[Garryson Shipkeeper]] with a business proposition one night while Virgil was enjoying a bowl of ice cream: To join a free company of individuals with various skills in differing fields. This free company is known as XI:7, and here he has remained.<br /> <br /> ==External References==<br /> <br /> [http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/1614896/ Virgil's Lodestone]</div>

<p>Virgil: Tweaks reflecting in-game events</p> <hr /> <div>{{Infobox-character<br /> | name = Virgil Manentyv<br /> | image = [[File:Virgilbodyshotbeta4.jpg]]<br /> | imagewidth = <br /> | caption = Virgil Manentyv<br /> | title = Scholar of Thaliak<br /> | gender = Male<br /> | age = 24<br /> | citizenship = Limsa Lominsa <br /> | race = Miqo'te<br /> | clan = None<br /> | server = Balmung<br /> | primary class = Arcanist<br /> | stat_1 = Family<br /> | stat_1_value = G'kahla Nunh (Father), Asha Jawantal (Mother, Missing), Eadgar Fletcher (Godfather), Bhariwyb Greinfyswyn (Godmother)<br /> | stat_2 = Affiliations<br /> | stat_2_value = Arcanist's Guild, The Maelstrom, XI:7<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Character==<br /> ===General===<br /> <br /> Virgil is a Miqo'te male who was born and raised within the city-state of Limsa Lominsa, and is without a tribe. He is devoted to the study of magic and strives to ultimately become one of Limsa Lominsa's finest scholars. He was taught the arts of the Arcanist by his teacher, <br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> <br /> As a Miqo'te, Virgil has the typical Miqo'te ears. His fur and his hair are copper in color, with lighter shading on the tips. Anyone of great perception could tell that his hair is dyed and his face is covered in makeup to make him look like a fullbreed Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te. Without the dye, the tips of his hair takes on a light lavender color. Without the makeup, his skin takes on a slightly more ashen grey tone. He usually covers the rest of his body up because of this, but will dress down if needed, regardless of what other people think about such a thing. His build is rather slim and tall, but not very muscular. He is quite lanky, however.<br /> <br /> His clothes often change to whatever suits him at the time. He has several outfits, depending on occasion. However, his most common wear is that which he wears while representing The Maelstrom, donning the Grand Company's deep red colors.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> <br /> Virgil, despite being so young, has the temperament of a much older man. Wise far beyond his years, exceptionally tolerant of others, and sees himself very much as someone who is always happy to lend his aid to anyone in need. Many of his own behaviors are modeled after the Arcanist Guild's Guildmaster, who had mysteriously disappeared during the Fall of Meteor incident. He looks up to his Guildmaster with deep respect as his mentor in life. Virgil is heavily devoted to his studies and his goals to become a scholar because of the Guildmaster's influence.<br /> <br /> Virgil doesn't like talking about his parentage. He will speak fondly of his father, who is alive and well as a fisherman and cook in Limsa Lominsa, but when asked about his mother or his tribe, he will often try to evade the question as much as he can without being too rude about it. He does, however, treat Seekers of the Sun and Keepers of the Moon with equal respect. This goes double for both genders of each, something that would be of great surprise to other Miqo'te, who live in very patriarchal or matriarchal societies.<br /> <br /> Virgil gets very easily excited over the study of magic and magical theory. He could go on for hours on the subjects of Rift Theory, the symbiosis between Arcanist and Carbuncle, the mutuality between the Conjurer and nature, and even the process in which Thaumaturges channel their own magical energies into fearsome power. Such topics get him very excited and may cause him to ramble on and on about such things, especially so to someone who is willing to listen.<br /> <br /> Names are something that Virgil has great difficulty remembering. However, he always apologizes profusely when forgetful of the names of others because he never means it to be an insult, it is simply how his mind works.<br /> <br /> In any and all things, Virgil values politeness and kindness above all else. Even the least educated gentleman is far more favorable company than the most educated prude.<br /> <br /> ==Combat==<br /> ===General===<br /> <br /> Virgil is a master of magical combat and has ample experience in both Conjury and Thaumaturgy while specializing in the Arcane Arts and even uncovering the lost art of the Allagian Scholars. As his own magical skill improves, so too will his combat prowess. His primary weakness lies in the physical combat arts.<br /> <br /> ==Tendencies==<br /> ===Likes===<br /> ::* Magic<br /> ::* Maritime Landscapes<br /> ::* Reading<br /> <br /> ===Dislikes===<br /> ::* Cynicism<br /> ::* Bright Areas<br /> ::* Weapon Combat<br /> <br /> ===Hobbies/Talents===<br /> ::* Magical Theory and Practice<br /> ::* Empathy and Understanding<br /> ::* Intellectual Debate and Reasoning<br /> <br /> ===Other===<br /> ::* Halfbreed (Seeker/Keeper)<br /> ::* Mentor (Arcanist Guildmaster)<br /> ::* Gay Male<br /> <br /> ==Relationships==<br /> ===Family===<br /> <br /> Virgil is an only child of two parents. His father, G'kala Nunh, is a Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te male fisherman who also enjoys cooking. Virgil as a respect and admiration for his father as anyone would towards a loving parent. Virgil especially likes his father's grilled fish! His mother's information is not public knowledge. His godfather, Eadgar Fletcher, is a poet living in Limsa Lominsa with his wife, the fisherwoman and G'kala's best friend, Bhariwyb Greinfyswyn (Bar-ee-wibb grine-fiss-win). It was Eadgar and Bhariwyb (Bhari for short) that named Virgil in order to settle a dispute between G'Kala and Virgil's mother.<br /> <br /> ===Friends===<br /> <br /> Being an unofficial member of the Arcanist's Guild for years prior to his formal admittance in the guild, he has many friends amongst the Arcanist community. He looks at the guildmaster as his mentor.<br /> <br /> ===Enemies===<br /> <br /> With Virgil's upbringing by both his father and the Arcanist Guildmaster, his personality was shaped into being very tolerant and open-minded early in his life. He has never made any enemies, to his knowledge. However, with his Eorzean citizenship, he may consider anyone who would attack Limsa Lominsa or Eorzea as a whole as being his enemy.<br /> <br /> ==Rumors==<br /> ===Common Rumors===<br /> ::* Virgil's first name comes from Virgil, the famed poet of the Third Astral Era, who wrote the mythology behind the founding of the Allagian Empire and of the famed Onion Knight of Legend, a refugee from an ancient kingdom for which the famed Onion Knights of the Empire were named.<br /> ::* Virgil's last name, Manentyv, is a Roegadyn word, translating to Moon-Thief. What could that mean?<br /> ::* Virgil has written much on the subject of magic, some of which has even been published!<br /> <br /> ===Moderate Rumors===<br /> ::* It is said that Virgil's last name actually refers to how his father stole the heart of a Keeper of the Moon woman.<br /> ::* Virgil is trying to find his other half, but it is of low priority to him. He would like to settle down someday once threats to the land have ended.<br /> ::* Virgil much prefers the company of men to the company of women, though treats both equally in terms of respect.<br /> <br /> ===Rare Rumors===<br /> ::* Virgil's mother might actually be the criminal known as Asha Jawantal, a Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te who is currently wanted by Gridanian authorities on counts of theft. She is also suspected of treason, having been seen evading border guards on her way to Garlemald.<br /> ::* Virgil dyes his hair and applies makeup to his skin because he doesn't want to deal with questions about his mother, preferring to blend in as a Seeker of the Sun rather than a halfbreed.<br /> <br /> ===PC Rumors===<br /> ::* Currently no PC Rumors to report yet.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==History/Timeline==<br /> <br /> Virgil was born in Limsa Lominsa. His auburn hair had lavender streaks. His parents argued over how to name the child properly as fitting with custom, when Virgil's named godparents, G'kala's best friends, broke the two of them up and offered to name the child in compromise.

Weeks later, Asha left Limsa Lominsa without a word, never to return, leaving G'kala to care for the boy. As the boy grew up, he hated the sunlight and would avoid it whenever possible. This interfered with any chance of playing with the other children. It was then that the Arcanist Guildmaster, a friend and regular customer of G'kala's, decided to look after the boy while the boy's father was making a living.

Once the calamity was over, the Guildmaster was nowhere to be found. In this instance, the assistant Guildmaster took over as acting Guildmaster until the Guildmaster returned. Virgil reluctantly agreed to this and continued to study hard, now with the goal, when he was older, to study all forms of magic, become a Scholar, find the Guildmaster, and return him to Limsa Lominsa.<br /> <br /> During his studies, he had heard rumors of his mother from various adventurers, but largely ignored these. He didn't like the idea that his mother was a criminal of theft and treason and tried to block everything out, even going so far as to dye his own hair and apply makeup to hide his own origins.<br /> <br /> Eventually, he was formally accepted into the Arcanist's Guild. Proud to accept the honor, he trained hard at his chosen profession and formed a bond with his Carbuncle. His progress was astoundingly fast as he had prepared his entire life for this goal. He has also taken up Conjury and Thaumaturgy in order to improve his own magical knowledge. With these, he will earn the right to be called a Scholar someday and he will find the Guildmaster and bring him home!</div>

He is devoted to the study of magic and strives to ultimately become one of Limsa Lominsa's finest scholars.<br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> <br /> As a Miqo'te, Virgil has the typical Miqo'te ears. His fur and his hair are copper in color, with lighter shading on the tips. Anyone of great perception could tell that his hair is dyed and his face is covered in makeup to make him look like a fullbreed Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te. Without the dye, the tips of his hair takes on a light lavender color. Without the makeup, his skin takes on a slightly more ashen grey tone. He usually covers the rest of his body up because of this, but will dress down if needed, regardless of what other people think about such a thing. His build is rather slim and tall, but not very muscular. He is quite lanky, however.<br /> <br /> His clothes often change to whatever suits him at the time. He does often wear his Acolyte's Robes, however. The green and white patchwork robes with plenty of black belts and a noticeably large hood, along with black leather cuffed gloves and knee-high boots to match.<br /> <br /> ===Behavior===<br /> <br /> Virgil, despite being so young, has the temperament of a much older man. Wise far beyond his years, exceptionally tolerant of others, and sees himself very much as someone who is always happy to lend his aid to anyone in need. Many of his own behaviors are modeled after the Arcanist Guild's Guildmaster, who had mysteriously disappeared during the Fall of Meteor incident. He looks up to his Guildmaster with deep respect as his mentor in life. Virgil is heavily devoted to his studies and his goals to become a scholar because of the Guildmaster's influence.<br /> <br /> Virgil doesn't like talking about his parentage. He will speak fondly of his father, who is alive and well as a fisherman and cook in Limsa Lominsa, but when asked about his mother or his tribe, he will often try to evade the question as much as he can without being too rude about it. He does, however, treat Seekers of the Sun and Keepers of the Moon with equal respect. This goes double for both genders of each, something that would be of great surprise to other Miqo'te, who live in very patriarchal or matriarchal societies.<br /> <br /> Virgil gets very easily excited over the study of magic and magical theory. He could go on for hours on the subjects of Rift Theory, the symbiosis between Arcanist and Carbuncle, the mutuality between the Conjurer and nature, and even the process in which Thaumaturges channel their own magical energies into fearsome power. Such topics get him very excited and may cause him to ramble on and on about such things, especially so to someone who is willing to listen.<br /> <br /> Names are something that Virgil has great difficulty remembering. However, he always apologizes profusely when forgetful of the names of others because he never means it to be an insult, it is simply how his mind works.<br /> <br /> In any and all things, Virgil values politeness and kindness above all else. Even the least educated gentleman is far more favorable company than the most educated prude.<br /> <br /> ==Combat==<br /> ===General===<br /> <br /> Virgil is a master of magical combat. Able to fully utilize his strengths and the strengths of his summoned partner, Virgil is able to inflict great amounts of damage while keeping himself in the fight quite effectively. As a solo fighter, he will use his summoned partner to support him as he inflicts debilitating effects on the opponent while using Protect and Physick to ensure that he can stay in the fight for a long time. As a supporting healer, he is very calculating and conservative in order to prepare for every contingency. However, when he gets bored, he will shift to a combat medic, inflicting debilitating status effects on the enemy while keeping an eye on the health of himself and his allies. As a supporting damage-dealer, he will fight much in the way he would fight solo. However, if the supporting healer fails to perform their duties properly, Virgil will take on the role of secondary healer temporarily to ensure that all party members receive necessary healing.<br /> <br /> ==Tendencies==<br /> ===Likes===<br /> ::* Magic<br /> ::* Maritime Landscapes<br /> ::* Reading<br /> <br /> ===Dislikes===<br /> ::* Cynicism<br /> ::* Bright Areas<br /> ::* Weapon Combat<br /> <br /> ===Hobbies/Talents===<br /> ::* Magical Theory and Practice<br /> ::* Empathy and Understanding<br /> ::* Intellectual Debate and Reasoning<br /> <br /> ===Other===<br /> ::* Halfbreed (Seeker/Keeper)<br /> ::* Mentor (Arcanist Guildmaster)<br /> ::* Gay Male<br /> <br /> ==Relationships==<br /> ===Family===<br /> <br /> Virgil is an only child of two parents. His father, G'kala Nunh, is a Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te male fisherman who also enjoys cooking. Virgil as a respect and admiration for his father as anyone would towards a loving parent. Virgil especially likes his father's grilled fish! His mother's information is not public knowledge. His godfather, Eadgar Fletcher, is a poet living in Limsa Lominsa with his wife, the fisherwoman and G'kala's best friend, Bhariwyb Greinfyswyn (Bar-ee-wibb grine-fiss-win). It was Eadgar and Bhariwyb (Bhari for short) that named Virgil in order to settle a dispute between G'Kala and Virgil's mother.<br /> <br /> ===Friends===<br /> <br /> Being an unofficial member of the Arcanist's Guild for years prior to his formal admittance in the guild, he has many friends amongst the Arcanist community. He looks at the guildmaster as his mentor.<br /> <br /> ===Enemies===<br /> <br /> With Virgil's upbringing by both his father and the Arcanist Guildmaster, his personality was shaped into being very tolerant and open-minded early in his life. He has never made any enemies, to his knowledge.

However, if the supporting healer fails to perform their duties properly, Virgil will take on the role of secondary healer temporarily to ensure that all party members receive necessary healing.<br /> <br /> ==Tendencies==<br /> ===Likes===<br /> ::* Magic<br /> ::* Maritime Landscapes<br /> ::* Reading<br /> <br /> ===Dislikes===<br /> ::* Cynicism<br /> ::* Bright Areas<br /> ::* Weapon Combat<br /> <br /> ===Hobbies/Talents===<br /> ::* Magical Theory and Practice<br /> ::* Empathy and Understanding<br /> ::* Intellectual Debate and Reasoning<br /> <br /> ===Other===<br /> ::* Halfbreed (Seeker/Keeper)<br /> ::* Mentor (Arcanist Guildmaster)<br /> ::* Gay Male<br /> <br /> ==Relationships==<br /> ===Family===<br /> <br /> Virgil is an only child of two parents. His father, G'kala Nunh, is a Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te male fisherman who also enjoys cooking. Virgil as a respect and admiration for his father as anyone would towards a loving parent. Virgil especially likes his father's grilled fish! His mother's information is not public knowledge. His godfather, Eadgar Fletcher, is a poet living in Limsa Lominsa with his wife, the fisherwoman and G'kala's best friend, Bhariwyb Greinfyswyn (Bar-ee-wibb grine-fiss-win). It was Eadgar and Bhariwyb (Bhari for short) that named Virgil in order to settle a dispute between G'Kala and Virgil's mother.<br /> <br /> ===Friends===<br /> <br /> Being an unofficial member of the Arcanist's Guild for years prior to his formal admittance in the guild, he has many friends amongst the Arcanist community. He looks at the guildmaster as his mentor.<br /> <br /> ===Enemies===<br /> <br /> With Virgil's upbringing by both his father and the Arcanist Guildmaster, his personality was shaped into being very tolerant and open-minded early in his life. He has never made any enemies, to his knowledge. However, with his Eorzean citizenship, he may consider anyone who would attack Limsa Lominsa or Eorzea as a whole as being his enemy.<br /> <br /> ==Rumors==<br /> ===Common Rumors===<br /> ::* Virgil's first name comes from Virgil, the famed poet of the Third Astral Era, who wrote the mythology behind the founding of the Allagian Empire and of the famed Onion Knight of Legend, for which the famed Onion Knights of the Empire were named.<br /> ::* Virgil's last name, Manentyv, is a Roegadyn word, translating to Moon-Thief. What could that mean?<br /> ::* Virgil has written much on the subject of magic, some of which has even been published!<br /> <br /> ===Moderate Rumors===<br /> ::* It is said that Virgil's last name actually refers to how his father stole the heart of a Keeper of the Moon woman.<br /> ::* Virgil is trying to find his other half, but it is of low priority to him. He would like to settle down someday once threats to the land have ended.<br /> ::* Virgil much prefers the company of men to the company of women, though treats both equally in terms of respect.<br /> <br /> ===Rare Rumors===<br /> ::* Virgil's mother might actually be the criminal known as Asha Jawantal, a Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te who is currently wanted by Gridanian authorities on counts of theft. She is also suspected of treason, having been seen evading border guards on her way to Garlemald.<br /> ::* Virgil dyes his hair and applies makeup to his skin because he doesn't want to deal with questions about his mother, preferring to blend in as a Seeker of the Sun rather than a halfbreed.<br /> ::* Virgil hides his true feelings towards certain specific kinds of individuals behind a particularly strong front of kindness and politeness. However, if he manages to snap, the untamed magical talent he possesses will be unleashed upon the perpetrator.<br /> <br /> ===PC Rumors===<br /> ::* Currently no PC Rumors to report yet.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==History/Timeline==<br /> <br /> Virgil was born in Limsa Lominsa. His auburn hair had lavender streaks. His parents argued over how to name the child properly as fitting with custom, when Virgil's named godparents, G'kala's best friends, broke the two of them up and offered to name the child in compromise. The parents both reluctantly agreed and he was named Virgil by his godfather and given the surname Manentyv by his godmother. Weeks later, Asha left Limsa Lominsa without a word, never to return, leaving G'kala to care for the boy. As the boy grew up, he hated the sunlight and would avoid it whenever possible. This interfered with any chance of playing with the other children. It was then that the Arcanist Guildmaster, a friend and regular customer of G'kala's, decided to look after the boy while the boy's father was making a living. While at the Arcanist's Guild, Virgil was taught to read and he read many books and asked many questions. He looked to the Guildmaster as a mentor that he modeled himself after out of the deep respect he had for him.<br /> <br /> When he was 16, he saw Bahamut's Mega-Flare light up the skies red with streaks of fire. If not for the Guildmaster using an incredibly powerful Protect spell, Virgil would have surely perished that day. He was then escorted into the Arcanist's Guild and told to stay inside. Once the calamity was over, the Guildmaster was nowhere to be found. In this instance, the assistant Guildmaster took over as acting Guildmaster until the Guildmaster returned. Virgil reluctantly agreed to this and continued to study hard, now with the goal, when he was older, to study all forms of magic, become a Scholar, find the Guildmaster, and return him to Limsa Lominsa.<br /> <br /> During his studies, he had heard rumors of his mother from various adventurers, but largely ignored these. He didn't like the idea that his mother was a criminal of theft and treason and tried to block everything out, even going so far as to dye his own hair and apply makeup to hide his own origins.<br /> <br /> Eventually, he was formally accepted into the Arcanist's Guild. Proud to accept the honor, he trained hard at his chosen profession and formed a bond with his Carbuncle. His progress was astoundingly fast as he had prepared his entire life for this goal. He has also taken up Conjury and Thaumaturgy in order to improve his own magical knowledge. With these, he will earn the right to be called a Scholar someday and he will find the Guildmaster and bring him home!</div>
