 ===General===
-An actor, a runaway, a ward of criminals. The sheltered heir to one of the most surprisingly successful Duskwight clans, Aumeric absconded from the custody of his overbearing family and ran away from home by way of demanding the members of Lansquenet kidnap him. He had dreams of seeing the world and perhaps even becoming an actor, which they were more than able to grant. What he didn't bargain for was finding himself in the midst of a troupe of criminals- or for the fact that his family hasn't exactly been forthcoming with the ransom he'd intended as his way of paying his passage.

 ===Appearance===
-He's a spindly, delicate young Elezen. He’s got mid-length, kind of fluffy silver hair and pale skin, surprisingly bright turquoise eyes (with ridiculously long eyelashes), and is both frequently mistaken for a woman and for a Wildwood. He’s on the taller side of average for an Elezen, and while not entirely a beanpole, isn’t built like a fighter or an athlete. Has a couple of scars on his face that tend to get lost in his hairline, and aren’t typically all that noticeable.
+He's a spindly, delicate young Elezen, with mid-length, fluffy grey-brown hair and pale skin, and surprisingly bright green eyes. Far enough from pallid to pass as a Wildwood to anybody not paying close enough attention, even other Duskwights, and pretty enough to be mistaken for a girl on at least a few occasions. He’s on the taller side of average for an Elezen, slender and perhaps only half a decade out of the gawkiness of Elezen adolescence. A scar from some manner of claw mars his left cheek, but is often lost in his hair. He tends to dress finely, but not ostentatiously, in greens, blues, and other natural colors, avoiding bright, overly saturated hues that only serve to make him seem more ashen in comparison.

 More than anything else, he’s willing to try anything once, and try as hard as he can at it. He has a keen eye for observation when it’s called for, thanks to his curiosity, and though he’s uninformed about many things in the world beyond his old home, he does have a surprisingly good head for numbers- picked up during his education for business purposes, and put to use in the field of arcanima more recently. He may not have the book smarts of some, but he has spent a long time reading about a wealth of unrelated subjects, as well as approximately a metric ton of fiction. And, perhaps less useful, he is very, very pretty.
 ===Weaknesses===
-Aumeric is flighty and naive to a fault. Having such a sheltered upbringing means that there are a wealth of topics he knows little about, and he lacks the experience and nuanced understanding to deal with a great deal of them in conversations. He may not ask awkward questions too much (since the embarrassment could destroy him), but he often goes silent and makes highly confused faces as he tries to puzzle out some new subject he’s never learned about or has only read about in books. Though he doesn’t have stage fright, per se, he gets flustered when he’s put on the spot or stared at, and isn’t exactly used to being seen as an adult in a world of adults, after his upbringing. He is also both a complete bleeding heart and eager to please those who he respects, well past the point of reason. Any decent sob story can sway his heart in favor of the teller- even if it comes from a Voidsent, a Dravanian infiltrator, or a tempered beastman. And if his fellow members of Lansquenet tell him to jump, he'll jump- even if it's right into the maw of danger. He's not willing to let them be disappointed in him.

 ===Common Rumors===
-::* The beauty who played Doctor Lucrece in the Tale of Sleepy Nibelheim may have looked gorgeous in a halfrobe and tights, but was no woman. The actor portraying the heroine in all of Lansquenet's shows is a male Elezen youth.
+::* "The beauty who played Doctor Lucrece in the Tale of Sleepy Nibelheim... you should probably know, she wasn't played by any lass. The one in the halfrobe and tights up there was some young Elezen fellow!"
-::* There's a young fellow who spends an awful lot of time observing the dancers in Costa Del Sol and Ul'dah, but not for the usual reasons. He's taking notes on technique.
+::* "Damn, I didn't think that'd work. Just told him I had three starving kids to feed, and he bought fake phurble tonic he didn't even need, with twice the gil it was worth... Must be my lucky day."
 ===Moderate Rumors===
-::* The pale Elezen with silver hair in Lansquenet might look like a Wildwood, but he's actually a Duskwight.
+::* "I know it's hard to tell sometimes, but I can recognize a Duskwight from a mile off. Just because he isn't grey doesn't make him any less of a Grey, after all."
-::* He's from a wealthy family, too. Ran away from home.
+::* "Look at the way that one carries himself, how he dresses. Walking one comes from a family of rich ones!"
-::* Chassebel isn't Aumeric's real last name.
+::* "Chassebel can't be his real name- they've got no sons his age, and certainly none with hair that shade of silver. Whatever family Aumeric comes from, he's using a pseudonym now..."
 ===Rare Rumors===
-::* He didn't run away from home, but was kidnapped.
+::* "Nah, he's no runaway. Have you heard half of the things they're saying about Lansquenet? Those crafty bastards kidnapped the little lord for his family's money."
-::* He's the heir to a wealthy Duskwight crime family.
+::* "Kidnapped? Are you blind? Lansquenet wouldn't parade him around in public if he were their kidnapped ward. He's probably in on it, if kidnapping is the story they're going with."
-::* He wasn't kidnapped, he asked Lansquenet to fake kidnapping him.
+::* "...recognize that boy. Osaulie's son, ain't he? Dunno why the heir to the damned Astrechere family is running around with a bunch of actors and common criminals."

-Aumeric has taken to studying arcanima, given his existing predilection for mathematics and a certain fondness for the abstract in the world of magic. But his understanding of the art is far more in the realm of theoretical than practical. It's not that he can't defend himself, it's just that nobody would think to send him in to do fighting (or healing) when more or less anybody else he knows would be better for the job. In short, he's got the makings of a Summoner and a Scholar, but is fairly useless at both.

It's not that he can't defend himself, it's just that nobody would think to send him in to do fighting (or healing) when more or less anybody else he knows would be better for the job. Thanks to certain family connections, however, he's become capable of summoning more than just a Carbuncle to do his bidding, though he'd prefer to keep that fact private.
