Abeodan is everything the opposite of the small, assumedly voiceless boy he was thought to be when he first turned up in Little Ala Mhigo with his mother Gelva, and his older brother Thorben. Still constantly watching, steadfast, on a situation, he's grown quite loud when he finds his voice, and he's grown a personality to match it. He feels all around capable of surpassing any wall he meets, and is all too eager to take the first obstacle down with his fists, reveling in the idea of violence and fighting despite the tenderness he shows around plants. Also despite his love to plants and plantlike creatures, Abeodan has a not-so-mild bias against Beast Tribes and animals, these feelings extending somewhat less intensely to Miqo'te and Au Ra, as well as dragons. He won't hesitate to verbally abash anyone fitting the 'animal' mark in the area, and coupled with his pure adoration for violence, things can quickly escalate out of hand, given the right (or wrong) circumstances. Likes ■ Plant Life. Does it have leaves? Roots? A stem? Is it green? Does it have petals? Does it live off water and sunlight? Yes or no, Abeodan devotes his life to plant matter, and thoroughly loves all kinds. ■ Plant-based Creatures. Even more than simply 'plants', his feelings escalate when the plant in question can move and mumble and thrive, like a tiny (or not so tiny) beast. Mandrakes, Morbols, Kidragoras, etc! He loves them all. ■ Oranges. The best fruit. ■ Fighting. The kid will hop dead on any chance for brutal fighting and bloodshed, given he isn't currently somewhere like the Sandsea (the guild house of the Riskbreakers and his self-proclaimed best friend), or his sickness isn't flaring up. If he can't participate himself, he'll watch. He adores it. ■ Poison. Abeodan only recently started to use poison actively in his fighting, but he's been using it to protect his personal belongings since long before he left Little Ala Mhigo. The only thing more useful, he thinks, are plants themselves. ■ Jewelry/Gems. Growing up cut-off from all realms of wealth, his first experience with fine jewels fascinated him to a near-obsession, even though his poverty-stricken lifestyle doesn't quite support a luxury like this. Recent events have done little to scrub him of this. ■ Pale Colors. Pales, pastels. Its only recently that he's quit dying his hair a desaturated version of every color under the sun, and settled on a pastel purple. ■ Small, Dark Areas. When he feels bad Abeodan will very often hide himself that would probably make anyone else extremely claustrophobic. They're also his first place to hide in the event of danger. His room stays dark, small, and cluttered, he fits easily into closets and cupboards, and he's even been known in the past to merely vanish in the shroud, escaping pursuers into a pre-dug hole or shallow tunnel. ■ Magitek. Its cool, its bright, its shiny, it glows, it can shoot people. Sure, its Garlean. But in Ala Mhigo /everything/'s Garlean. Might as well utilize the technology freely, while its still an option. At least, that's the way he sees it. Dislikes ■ Meat. Abeodan is a Vegan, through and through. This does little to help his current malnourished state. ■ His Sickness. Falling ill by the plague passed around in Little Ala Mhigo upon his first year in being there, aged 10, Abeodan recovered, but has ever since carried an illness that wears on body and mind. He tires quickly, and finds he can't travel far, or fight for extended amounts of time. ■ Animals/Beast Tribes. He has a few choice words that start at "disgusting" and branch off into much more impolite tables, his hatred for these two things extending only slightly less intensely to the animal-aspected Spoken of Eorzea (Miqo'te and Au Ra). ■ Imprisonment. He's flat out terrified of this, actually. He's been to jail before once. He'll probably get himself killed before he ever goes back again. ■ Alcohol. Tastes bad, muddles the mouth, and muddles the mind. He has enough troubles with things like speaking and focus as it is, and he certainly doesn't need anything that makes it any harder to get his body to work. ■ Silence. Abeodan personally enjoys being quiet and listening, but areas that are entirely dead of sound distract and unsettle him. His childhood was filled with the noises of distance riots and machines, and a quiet place feels grave like, to him - much more like the desert caves of Thanlan's Ala Mhigan Refugees. If he needs to think or clear his head, he'll go to a crowded place, like a tavern or market. ■ Talking. As an after effect of his upbringing back in Ala Mhiogo, Abeodan has severe problems with speech that can often render him entirely unintelligible. Even if he can understand himself perfectly well, he knows other's can't, and even if he can't quite see where they're coming from, he loathes the idea of speech, speaking usually only to defend himself or when conversationally necessary. ■ Mor Dhona. When the Ala Mhigans sought refuge, they were cast out and stuck in place where they all got the plague. When lizard tailed dragon people sought refuge (granted, through a bunch of hyur posing as stand ins, but still), they were given a city. He hates the city almost as much as he hates them, and he'll voice it. ■ Piercings/Scars/Deformities. Any marr on the body, no matter how small or large or prevalent, is viewed as ultimately disgusting. He won't touch, but he'll definitely laugh and scorn. Quirks ■ Odd Speech/Trouble Talking. Kid talks weird. ■ Lying. Abeodan lies frequently and semi excessively. Despite being a terrible liar with a million tells, he usually seems to, oddly, get entirely away with it. This can probably be attributed however to the fact that nobody has a clue what he's saying. ■ Touching his Face. As this is one of the most prevalent tells for his lies, and he lies frequently, he's also touching his face frequently, most often poking at his cheek or stuffing finger joints between his teeth. ■ Rambling. Usually in a mutter, while trying to re-explain himself in the most clearly defined way, Abeodan will talk in a circle of words, most times only muddling the meaning of his sentences even more. ■ Fidgeting. Abeodan wears a set of random trinkets on his belt (old magitek, broken jewelry, etc) with which he very often toys and jingles. ■ Tends to have more Respect for Women than Men. This tends to the extreme, with a very certain 'anti men' undertone saturating all of it. [edit] Appearance Rumors Stories Music OOC Credit Appearance ■ Body: Small. He easily looks to still be in his middle teens, and certainly doesn't look like a highlander. While he certainly has muscle, his body looks malnourished and almost frail. ■ Skin: Very pale, and often hued with a nearly sickly pallor. Some days he looks better than others. ■ Hair: Unkempt, uneven. At the moment he keeps it a light purple with the back cropped short and his bangs overly long. He seems to have cut it himself. ■ Eyes: Also pale, not much color to them. The closest match for a term is a light grey-brown. ■ Clothes: Abeodan loves decorative clothing. Fine cloth, fine tailoring, embroidary. He can't often afford it, but somehow manages a few outfits into his closet anyway, flaunting them whenever he can. He likes most dark shades mixed with light colors, cloaks, showing off skin, and red or purple tones. When he's not running around in what ornate clothes he's collected, however, he's in the strict opposite - tatters and thick, rough materials. Things that barely seem to hold themselves together, and speaks the truth about his poverty. Most often these are his work clothes. ■ Jewelry: The boy is exteremy attracted to metal, gold, and gems, and will wear them whenever able, clattering around with several even tied together so that larger bangles, too big for him, will stay on his arms. He's not as partial to necklaces, but he enjoys those as well, though more often they wind up on his belt. ■ Distinguishing Features: His size and brightly colored hair, and one bright gold tooth he got as a gift after he lost his. Also, his manner of speaking. ■ Other: Presently, Abeodan is missing his left hand. This is not always notable, however, because he keeps it glamoured. But, as the glamoured hand doesn't exactly funtion, a keen eye would still be able to tell. Rumors Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated.
