With an ambitious mind and adventurous heart, V’yaron Tia keeps his tribal roots close to him while adapting to the modern world that he’s set upon exploring. Born in Thanalan on the 7th Sun of the 1st Umbral Moon to V’stahn Nunh and V’trini Hala, V’yaron is a skilled hunter with aspirations that extend far beyond the life his tribe could provide him. It was made clear to him at a young age that he had no desire to lead his tribe, nor did the thought ever cross his mind to challenge his father for the rights to be Nunh.

Instead, V’yaron set out to explore. A well-versed traveler and an individual quite skilled with numerous forms of weaponry, V’yaron now calls Limsa Lominsa and the surrounding areas his home, though he prefers the open sea by way of ship.

LIKES ▼ Likes: ■ Things relating to the ocean or open water. Sailing, swimming, lounging at the beach; he seems to naturally gravitate toward the sea, and has long used that to his benefit through work. He is a talented swimmer, and considers it a skill required to thrive when on the open sea. ■ Coupled with his love of the sea, V'yaron quite enjoys being out in the sun. He is visibly more cheerful when the weather is good, and will often wilt when it is poor. During the day he prefers to remain outside to soak in as much sun as possible; the night time he reserves for sleep, or remaining indoors for whatever reason. ■ Fine foods, alcohols, and company. Life has not always been good to V'yaron, and because of this, he does his best to indulge in the finer things as often as possible. This habit has put him in considerable debt in the past, but he's learned well from his mistakes.

DISLIKES ▼ Dislikes: ■ Old traditions. Despite remaining loyal to his tribe, V'yaron holds little sentiment for his formative years and considers most old traditions to be silly or unnecessary. While his brothers prefer to fight over who may eventually be Nunh, V'yaron prefers to carve his own path that does not run through tribal life, but beside it. ■ Laziness. Despite appearing to be lazy himself quite often, he loathes a person with no motivation or drive to succeed in life. An individual with a poor work ethic will certainly get on his bad side, even if he's not been vaunted as incredibly professional. ■ Authority. There are few people that V'yaron considers above his own scope of authority. Any individuals that flaunt titles or accomplishments as a way to browbeat him will certainly earn his ire, and probably his amusement.

▼ APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY

V’yaron carries many of the traits typical to his tribe; dark skin, dark hair, and a long tail that grows quite furry on the end. With eyes a piercing amber in color and streaks in his hair that match, some consider him to be quite a handsome individual – a fact he uses to his advantage when the circumstances call for it.

More often than not V’yaron is found in some manner of gear befitting a trained combatant. It’s hard to tell what his occupation is just by looking at him, and things grow more confusing upon inquiring. With a flare for jewelry and a scent of the sea that lingers around him, however, it might not be hard for a more analytic individual to discern what his general occupation may be. Sometimes V'yaron happens to carry a dagger on his hip, and seems to often unsheathe it and play around as if they were simple toys; such an act speaks to the confidence he holds in his skills. Other times, he favors a bow or gun - he seems to be equally skilled with both weapons, despite the two requiring quite different fighting styles.

V is a very enigmatic individual, in the respect that his personality varies greatly depending upon his company at a given time. He is very disciplined and respectful; this shows when he is around those he considers his superior - his parents being a prime example of such. Despite an outer-shell that might be considered abrasive or sarcastic, V'yaron is a caring individual, albeit selfish at times. Many in his tribe may consider him far more the latter, what with his extended sabbatical from home life upon reaching adulthood. When surrounded by those he considers friends, V'yaron is far more outgoing and humorous. He is more comfortable when he feels he can let his guard down, and this allows his true personality to shine. He is often times considered a trickster, and perhaps to some, a bully; he quite enjoys amusing himself at the expense of someone else, and will do so frequently. Despite being quite kind and loyal to those he trusts, he can be considered a contrarian that plays the Devil's Advocate just for the principle of it.
