 '''Positive Traits:''' Devyn is upbeat and friendly, ever-helpful, and fiercely loyal to his friends, often to the point of neglecting his own duties.  He can be thoughtful when he believes it's required and has proven to be quite clever at times.  Though he might make a show of fear when he's not being serious Devyn is brave, sometimes stupidly so, and is willing to attempt just about anything.
-'''Negative Traits:''' While friendly, he can be awkward and shy at times, though he's been improving more and more of late.  This now-rare instance is usually only evident in social situations when talk becomes more serious.  His bravery and loyalty to those he cares about can combine to make him reluctant to involve others in his problems if he believes there’s a danger to them – he’d rather try to handle things on his own and spare them the risk, even when he really should have the help.  At the same time he's prone to ignoring obvious risks to himself in pursuit of his goal while acting on his emotions and desire to help others.  Despite displaying the occasional bout of cleverness he's not above the occasional absentminded lapse or, at times, completely missing what others would consider obvious.

 It was years after he began his thieving career that it happened.  He still doesn’t know how he was spotted and recognized, or by whom, but he arrived home to the sight of Brass Blade uniforms and the sound of scared wails and angry voices demanding the return of something he knew perfectly well he had taken.  There was only one thing he could do when he heard the sing of steel scraping out of a scabbard, and his father’s voice cut off mid-sentence, and a gurgling cry, and the terrified screams of his mother and sister.  He ran.
-He arrived in Gridania at the age of 14, calling himself Devyn Piper, and found work as a hand on one of the many farms surrounding the great city.  There he learned how to work the land to grow crops, and how to take from the bounty the forest provided in the form of plentiful game.  It was there he learned to shoot.  For two years Devyn worked the fields and hunted the forest.  He hated it at first, but knew he couldn’t risk taking up his old trade and bringing notice to himself.  Who knew how far the powers of Ul’dah could truly reach?  As he became more comfortable with the bow, however, he began to find that he truly loved the Black Shroud.

 The world was made anew in the year of his 16th nameday.  Dalamud had fallen, and out of its shattered husk came the terrifying birth of a new era.  Beneath the more obvious scars, the people of the Shroud saw other, equally dangerous changes.  The ixal encroaching on land they had not dared tread in years, promising crops giving surprisingly low yields, and a general shift in the tenor of the forest.  Devyn and his mentor, an older hyur woodsman by the name of Emnet, became more involved in keeping the forest safe – taking on bandits, ixal, and other stranger and more dangerous foes.

 '''Attitude:''' Very positive.  Usually energetic, often playful, and rarely grumpy.  He can, however, be more serious when he feels it suits the situation.

-'''In-Character Job:''' Freelance healer and formerly officer for the now defunct Oathless Free Company.  Though sometimes shy in social situations, he is strangely comfortable in a professional leadership role and has begun taking steps to assemble a new group of like-minded individuals to tackle get out into the world and make a difference.
+'''In-Character Job:''' Freelance healer, most recently working as an independent medic with the Red Wings unit of the Immortal Flames.
-'''Professional Skills:''' Devyn learned stealth years ago on the streets of Ul'dah, and his time in training as a hunter and tracker in the Black Shroud has only sharpened his skills.  He's also a more qualified healer than he gives himself credit for, and his skills in that area are constantly being improved upon.
+'''Professional Skills:''' Devyn is a powerful but inexperienced conjurer, capable of competent healing more through force than finesse.  He learned stealth years ago on the streets of Ul'dah and subsequent time training as a hunter and tracker in the Black Shroud has only sharpened his skills.  Besides stealth, his training as a woodsman has added a passing knowledge of plant and animal life and given him familiarity with both bow and gun.  Though sometimes shy in social situations, he is strangely comfortable in a professional leadership role--something he proved as an officer of the now defunct Oathless Free Company.
-'''Amateur Skills / Hobbies:''' A reasonably good shot with a bow, Devyn is a capable enough hunter.  He has some knowledge of tanning, first taught to him when he was a youth in Ul’dah and refreshed by his mentor in Gridania, but has never pursued it beyond learning the basics.  One of his duties around the farm near Gridania was cooking, and while he’s far from a master culinarian he’s capable enough and especially enjoys cooking for others.  If it can be considered to be a hobby, travel is also on the list.  He loves traveling to new places and seeing the amazing sights Eorzea has to offer.

-'''Likes / Wants:''' Devyn absolutely loves the rain, though for some reason he's reluctant to admit it.  He acquired a taste for Gridanian ale and mead once he moved there, though he's never been fond of wine.  Oh, also, scenery.  Tall and majestic, wide open, enclosed and mysterious, it doesn't matter.  Devyn loves seeing new things.
