Gender Male Race Au'ra Clan Raen Citizenship Doma Nameday 25th Sun of the 3rd Astral Moon Age 25 Guardian Thaliak, the Scholar Occupation Swordsman, Fisher and Chef Maritial Married GENERAL INFORMATION Ryuji Malaguld (マラグルド 竜児, Maragurudo Ryūji), is an Au Ra who hails from the continent of Othard, and as someone born in the Azim Steppe he isn't stranger to conflict due to it being a constant between Xaela tribes. A curious person by nature to what the unknown world is he is willing to travel great lengths just to see new places he has never been, a habit that has been dimming less by each passing summer but that in one way or another will always be present in his life. Since little, he learned how to respect and be respectful towards not only other people as well as their culture, something he follows even now that he moved to Limsa Lominsa on the Eorzean continent. During his stay overseas he made some acquaintances, and while some encounters he had were good others were really bad. He might not have many friends, being able to count them with the fingers of one hand, but the ones he has are respected deeply and he’s never willing to betray them, especially his wife. Thanks to the experiences he had since the day he arrived, he decided to change his name to Weiss Loire in order to make future encounters easier, as well as to better fit Eorzea society. Although kind-hearted in nature he has a belief that every conflict has its own different standpoint and perspective, that there is no good or bad side, and will always try to avoid jumping into one before knowing both sides of the story. However, no matter how hard he believes in this, if he sees something he deems unfair (e.g:. bullying the week), he will probably make a stand since violence shouldn't be used as a solution to a problem. APPEARANCE He tries to wear clothing better fitting the occasion he’s in, going as far as spending some time if necessary to find an adequate garment, having a preference for loose clothing so he can move more freely and feel more relaxed. When wearing armor he tries to make it light but always avoids exaggerating since it’s better to not forget that that armor is meant for protection and not for fashion or comfort. The muscles of his body are a bit toned thanks to the training he underwent and keep doing even today, but aren’t very noticeable due to being mostly hidden with the clothes he chooses to wear, especially when using armor. He is physically capable to fight and travel great lengths in a short time. His long white hair is rarely seen loosen preferring to hold it in a ponytail, not only because of personal preference but also so it doesn’t get in his way when doing something, like battling. His face is adorned with a small number of scales, more prominent in the cheeks and chin area, as well as a calm and collected expression that it’s always accompanied with a gentle smile. This is better seen when he becomes lost in thought while looking at the ocean (which has a calming effect on him). One of his discerning features are his odd-eyes (right is yellow, left is blue), something his mother always told him, as well as to his brother, it was a gift of Azim and Nhaama to show the boys how much they were loved, however both him and his twin lack glowing limbal rings. When walking, and even standing, he keeps his backs mostly straight and although in formal situations he sits in seiza-style, when near friends or alone he just sits with his legs crossed, revealing a more relaxed side. PERSONALITY Loyal, kindhearted and generous. Due to the continuous confrontations between tribes in Azim Steppe, Weiss (or Ryuji) had the need to become a capable fighter since he was very young, something that made him courageous in the face of danger and especially if someone important to him is in trouble. Although he is very confident in his abilities he is too self-conscious of his own limitations (sometimes too much) and ends up giving himself less credit than what he should, going as far as doubting about himself and if he is capable of accomplishing what is needed to. Because of this, he resents assuming/being given leadership, but he is the first to ensure that what is necessary gets done. His pragmatism and sense of responsibility lead others to trust and follow him and in turn, knowing about this, he tries to not disappoint them and avoids at all cost betraying their trust. As he always keeps his word he despite people who aren’t able to do the same. He has a sense of humor and is receptive towards jokes and puns, especially between friends, but he is also respectful and won’t partake in it if the situation is not appropriate or if he is working. He goes as far as, during duty, even his friends are treated in a more formal or respectful way and he doesn’t accept any kind of disrespect of it, especially from strangers. While Weiss treasures friendship, being a very good listener and being capable of advising his friends on several aspects of life, being able to go out of his way to help them, he tries to keep his problems to himself and fight them alone, even when depressed. During these times he can be seen looking at the Ocean since it has a calming and relaxing effect on him as if he feels part of it. Deep down he harbors a fear of being forgotten and can’t stand the idea of losing someone, especially someone important to him. The doubts he has about himself sometimes make this feeling pop up in his mind and he can’t help it but feel depressed about it. Although he is very perceptive to details, being able to easily notice small changes, things out of place or even suspicious, he has very little sense of direction being unable to follow direction to new places, and although he loves traveling a meeting new places this can be a problem if that’s not the intention of his journey. This doesn’t happen if he travels enough times to a place. Lastly, Weiss is very committed and devoted to his wife, always worrying for her well-being as she does for his. However as she is always traveling due to work, when they are together he tries to make full use of that time. When they are not together for a long time people can see him during the night looking up at the sky as he believes if they both end up doing the same they can be a bit close to each other even when far apart. As she is his "Nhaama" (his moon) he grew an affinity to also watch the moon in the middle of the sea of stars.

COMBAT & WEAPONRY Although Weiss has learned with his master how to properly train in order to become a stronger and faster warrior, something that would mean both are equally balanced, his speed is the one who stands off the most. Thanks to this he is capable of doing quick swings with jis blade that are difficult to follow with untrained eyes. The way he moves in the battlefield makes one believe his opponents are making a swift dance with death itself thanks to the way he moves around swiftly and lands his blows in a quick succession with efficiency and precision. He knows however that there are warriors far more powerful than him, so he keeps training his mind and body in order to not perish in the battlefield, let alone have a death with no meaning. He is open to learning new techniques and styles if it helps him hone his skills. WEAPON Izumi no Kami – His father gave him this sword as a memento to give luck and protection on Weiss’s journey and as a symbol of his desire to see the well-being of his son. The blade once belonged to a renowned swordsman before ending up on the Steppe, and despite the many uses, it might have had the sword looks as good as new. It’s a normal sized Katana that is very treasured by Weiss, who hardly lets her away from him. EXPERIENCE LOG Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that Weiss has been a part of. This list is by no means all inclusive, and serves more as a general reference as to what he has been up to. Opponent Name (Date) : Weapon. Details about the fight. BACKSTORY . Birth under a Starlight Sky It was during one bright moon night, as if being blessed by Nhaama, that two Au Ra twins were born in Azim Steppe in the midst of the Malaguld tribe. As their mother was a Raen and their father a Xaela, the color of their scales was something just wondered before their birth. To the surprise of everyone present, each had born with a different color from the other, while one was white as the day the other twin scales was as dark as the night, thus honoring not just their parent's lineage but also the Dawn Father and the Dusk Mother. The bigger surprise, however, was the boys having no limbal rings as well as their eyes color, for it was; the Xaela boy had his right eye tinted with the blue one while his left one was yellow, as for the Raen one it was the opposite. Everyone saw it as an omen from the Steppes, that the twins were accepted both by Azim and Nhaama, thus having eye representing both the sun and the moon. The years passed and they were taught by their father, Muge, how to defend themselves. From the brothers, it was Fugetsu who was the stronger as well as the one who had more discipline, while Ryuji was the faster and focused one. Alone they had their strengths and weaknesses, but as a pair, they were a force to be recon and all adults had great expectations for them. While the art of war was taught for their father, it was their mother who educated them about the kami and to be thankful for the things they were given, as well as how to write and read. As they grew older Fugetsu became accustomed to the Azim Steppe, while Ryuji became curious as to how the world beyond was. This would mark some time later the time the boys, who were always together since they were born, would part different ways in their life. At first, Fugetsu was against the idea of watching his brother leave, but upon seeing the look in Ryuji’s eyes he soon changed his ideas and even supported his brother decision. When their parents came to know, they worried for their son well-being and forbidden him from leaving the Steppe. It took Fugetsu, a battle with his father (who lost on purpose), and the promise to keep in touch through letters for them to change their idea. On the day of his departure, when he was already seventeen summers old, the whole clan went to see him. They were sad to see one of the greatest joys they had, in the past years, leaving on a journey. His father gave him the sword he had earned long ago from a renowned swordsman and his mother gave him a change of clothes she made herself themed around the garments used from where she hailed. Fugetsu had nothing to give, but his words were the biggest gift he could’ve wished from him: “No matter how far apart we may be, and no matter what life may throw at you, we’ll always be brothers”. And with this, Ryuji said goodbye to his family and to a sadden clan, with the promise of returning one day stronger than how he left. The Wandering Samurai Some days after he has left the Steppe, Ryuji found himself lost. He asked for direction to passing merchants to the nearest settlement but somehow ended up getting the opposite route. The moon started showing at the sky and he hadn’t eaten for hours, thus decided to call it a day and camp for the night. He heard of the Garlean threat, which hadn’t reach the Steppe, so he decided that making a bonfire would call for unwanted attention even if it meant eating raw food for the night. After making his camp, with a bed made from leaves and the stars as a roof, he decided to hunt for some food. He was tired of eating insects, so decided to step up his game since he saw a pond nearby earlier that day, which meant he could hope to eat some frog legs for his dinner. He followed a path of fireflies until he reached his destinations and as he had thought there were frogs around, croaking as if they were part of an orchestra. Little by little he got near the pond and as was preparing to make his move, the croaking ceased which made him stop immediately – “Was it my fault?” – he thought, afraid of having to spend another meal around eating bugs. However, his question was soon answered when a group of people walked by in the distance, guided by the light of their paper lanterns. The boy watched carefully as they moved in a hurry while mumbling something beneath their helmets. As he paid better attention he noticed they were wearing a full set of armor that seemed to be black or some other kind of dark color. He has never seen anything like that, then again he barely knew anything outside of the Steppe, but somehow he knew that he should keep his distance from that group. He went back to the camp while making sure he wasn’t leaving any kind of traces behind. During that night he could barely close his eyes. . In the next day the sound of something moving nearby made him wake up suddenly. It seemed he had fallen asleep during his night watch, but luckily for him, his whole-body kept his survival instincts on the whole time and a single sound was enough to bring him back from the dreamland. He grabbed his things and started moving again in direction of the settlement. On the way there he met a traveling man that, to his surprise, was wearing a sword on his belt. At first, Ryuji thought it was best to keep his distance from the man as the previous encounter from last night still lingered in his memory – “I ain’t a Garlean, boy.” – said the man in a calm voice as if reading his mind. It was if a single look of that man was enough to know a person soul, not only that but he also seemed to be a great fighter – “How did you.. know?” – asked the Au Ra still incredulous with such feat. The man smiled and looked at him with a tranquil look, but instead of answering the question he just bowed and started walking again. At first, Ryuji did nothing but watch the man going his way, but soon after his legs started to move and he ran in his direction – “Please, teach me!” – he asked, alongside a long bow, just noticing what he has done shortly after the words had left his mouth. The man ignored him and kept walking his path, but know that Raen knew that deep inside his whole being was as if screaming to be taught by that man, he was sure to not give up. He followed the man everywhere for the next couple of hours, asking once or twice from time to time. Eventually, the man gave, especially after seeing the flame of certainty in Ryuji’s eyes, and agreed to teach him his ways. For the next years, they would be master and pupil, and it would be thanks to him that the boy became the warrior he is today. Farewell Hingashi Some years had passed since Ryuji left the Steppe and met his master and he was no longer a man, having become a man of twenty-three summers as well as a capable warrior. During the past six years, he learned many things from the wandering swordsman, whose name was Musashi. Things like how to handle and better use a sword, how to fish and even how to meditate for hours without breaking a sweat. He also learned how to draw as a mean to increase his focus and even became interested in Haiku poetry. The journey brought the pair to the port of Kugane, a place that was unlike any other the Au Ra had seen - Welcome to Kugane, boy. - Musashi welcomed him when he saw the incredulous look on the Raen face. It was a city unlike any other, with big and tall buildings, a great number of people and more refined than the previous towns he has been to. He also saw other Au Ras with scales of the same color of his and his mother and despite thinking at first that he should talk with them right away, he decided against it. After all, he didn’t want to bother some random people just because they were like him, even if he had the curiosity to learn more about light scaled Au Ras. Master and disciple walked around the port in order for Ryuji to become more familiar with it, showing the plaza with the giant blue crystal (to his awe since he never saw one before let alone one that big), the pier and finishing at the Bokairo Inn where they would spend some time. During the night they went to the local hot springs and Musashi informed that it would be better if Ryuji traveled overseas, something that caught him by surprise. The Raen was also informed that during the next month he would learn the basics to Eorzean language – ”But why master? Did I disappointed you in any way?” - he asked, worried by the sudden decision of Musashi. The swordsman looked at his pupil and smiled - What does a frog inside a well can possibly know? - Musashi rhetorically asked – A frog inside a well only knows about the life of the well, not knowing about the great. - he then paused and for a moment as if thinking about his next words You are that frog, Ryuji, and I want to get you outside of that well. You already gave your first step in that direction, when you exited the Steppe, but the world is vast and full of wonders. – both of them fell silent after what Musashi said and for a minute the Au Ra thought about the idea of traveling overseas to place he has never been, although he did understand what his master meant. As sadness got the better of himself, he then looked into the star filled sky – “The cicada song/Announces the change in season/With a saddened heart.” – he said in a calm yet almost trembling voice. It was his first Haiku, born from the sadness of his future departure. And with that, the night was spent in a profound silence. A full month passed and the day of his departure had finally arrived. He wrote letters to his family, informing of his sudden departure and that it might be some time until he is able to write them again. When he reached the pier, his master was waiting for him with a small sailing boat, as well as supplies for the long trip, like food and water, as well as some Eorzean coin and some Hingashi good for him to trade in Eorzea. Despite his master’s decision, Ryuji didn’t hate him. He now knew Musashi didn’t want him to leave but it was something necessary for his growth. They said their farewells with the promise of seeing each other in the future. TBD TBD RECENT HISTORY New life in Eorzea After some months in the sea, Ryuji had finally reach Eorzea, more specifically Limsa Lominsa port. He was told by his master that there was the probability of finding pirates during his journey on the sea but luckily he didn’t find any. His journey, however, was longer than what he anticipated taking him as far as three or four months to reach dis destination. He was welcomed to the port with mistrust, even more, when he tried to speak Eorzean language and it came out as speaking just one of two local words mixed in a foreign language. It didn’t take long for the local authorities to find him and take him into custody for questioning. After some hours of questioning, unable to understand or be understood, he decided to explain through drawing, which amazed right away the people questioning. He didn’t explain them all details about his journey, just telling little details like from where he hailed, what skills he learned, and why he came to Eorzea. It eventually got through the authorities that brought him and they agreed to let him stay in Limsa as long as he was regularly checked by an appointed member of the Maelstrom. That member was a Miqo’te named Mari and both of them fell in love at first sight. Every week since then Mari would check Ryuji in order to see if he wasn’t partaking in any illegal activity and the pair would then spend the rest of that day speaking with each other; she learned more of his culture and language and he learned more of hers. However, not everything went smoothly and while plenty of people were okay with his stay, there existed others who were against it due to him hailing from a continent they never heard before. Some of this people would only notice when they’d see his foreign name or just heard him speak Eorzean, something that made Ryuji change his name to avoid this kind of problems as well as invest his time in learning more of the language. He then started to go by the name Weiss Loire and as months went by his language skills improved greatly, not only because of his dedication but also because of having a direct contact with it, not only with the locals but as well as with Mari who he started to spend even more time with. One day, when the Miqo’te came back from a Maelstrom mission, Weiss was waiting for her at the Maelstrom HQ, inviting her for a walk outside of the city. She agreed to take his offer without hesitation, and as the pair walked near the cliff outside of the city, Weiss declared his feelings towards her. Both of them became embarrassed right after, but she agreed to it and they started dating, which leads to marriage some months later. Two years have gone by since he arrived in Limsa Lominsa and despite facing much hardship since then, he has gathered many good memories that are worth a billion times more than the bad ones. Although Mari is seen departing in Maelstrom mission too often, the two make use of their time together to the fullest and while apart keep in touch both by their personal Linkshell as well as by letters. While she’s away, Ryuji (now Weiss) is prone to travel and adventure, bringing back home plenty of memories and stories to tell. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

LIST OF FAMILY MEMBERS Izayoi Naeuri (苗売 十六夜 Naeuri Izayoi), mother. (♥✔🔒) CHARACTER’s Thoughts: "I still remember the bedtime stories mom used to tell me, and how vast and wonderful the sea is. And she was right.” After being exiled for going beyond the border of Sui no Sato due to her curiosity, Izayoi found herself lost and without hope as she didn’t know anything about the outside world; she had to run for her survival and to eat anything she found that was edible. For some kind of luck, or maybe because the Kamis took pity on her, she always was able to reel big fish from the sea far easily ending up with plenty for the whole day. After wandering for some days she met Muge, a Xaela Au Ra that was exiled, and eventually saw a kindred spirit in him. The pair helped each other and eventually fell in love, going soon after to Azim Steppe, Muge's home. When she gave birth to her children, Izayoi got too much attached to them and became over-protective of them. While she didn’t teach them how to fight, she did teach them the importance of all living things and about the Kami, as well as the importance of being thankful for what they had. She also instructed them in writing and reading. Her past, however, is something that only she and her husband know. Muge Himaa (ヒマー ムゲ Himaa Muge), father. (♥✔🔒) CHARACTER's Thoughts: “An excellent teacher and an even better father.” It is said that in the Himma clan one out of every three pregnancies results in twins, a fate that followed Himaa even after his exile. When he found in Izayoi the love his clan couldn’t afford to give him, he soon found himself being a father of two Au Ra children; one Raen and one Xaela. Muge would willingly throw his life for both his wife and children and well as for the Malaguld that welcome his family with open arms. Everything Ryuji learned about fighting when he lived in the Steppe it’s thanks to his father. He is also the one who gave him Izumi no Kami. Fugetsu Malaguld (マラグルド 風月 Malaguld Fugetsu), brother. (♥✔🔒) CHARACTER’s Thoughts: “I couldn’t ask for a better brother than Fugetsu. The connection we share will never be broken.” If it wasn’t for the black hair, black Xaela scales, and for odd-eyes with the same colors but on different sides (Right is blue and left is yellow), he and Ryuji would be identical twins. Back in the Steppe, they were very close and rarely were seen apart, a connection that would be kept until the day Ryuji left on the journey. The brother always helped each other and despite Ryuji’s decision to leave home Fugetsu didn’t oppose it and knew how to respect it. To this day they still keep in touch by letters. Mari Loire, wife. (♥♥♥♥✔🔒) CHARACTER’s Thoughts: “No matter how much I travel the whole universe, I'll never find a star as beautiful and bright as her. For she is my Nhaama, my moon.” Ryuji met Mari half a year after reaching Limsa Lominsa and although they didn’t admit it, it was love at first sight for both of them. The pair spent some months as friends knowing each, hearing tales of their respective continents and about themselves. Mari took all the problems and feeling of uneasiness he was filling at the time when he faced communication problems with the Eorzeans. She was a lover and a teacher, his ray of hope in the middle of the darkness. She was his Nhaama. They ended up marrying each other after spending some time in a relationship. Even though Mari’s work at the Maelstrom takes her too many times away, she left Ryuji a Chocobo she raised herself as a means for him to feel closer to her. The pair has a habit of gazing at the stars when together, something they also do when far apart since it’s like they are doing it together next to each other. She is a Triple Triad aficionado and loves everything that is cute, as well as her husband. NON-FAMILY Listed here are the non-family characters, both PC and NPC, that Weiss has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them. Please don't take personal offense if your character isn't listed here, or how the interaction or relationship is described. It isn't that I dislike your character or our RP. I just tend to only add these as necessary for those who make a real impact on Weiss, and descriptions are purely based upon in character experiences and opinions! Last Update... August 8th, 2017 * An asterisks denotes that Weiss doesn't know the individual's true name. LIST OF NON-FAMILY RELATIONS Musashi, mentor. (✔🔒) CHARACTER’s Thoughts: “Master always told me I needed to see the world. That I was like a frog in a well, not knowing the great Ocean. I still am that frog, but I’m starting to feel the smell of the Ocean.” Musashi was a wandering swordsman without a master who found Ryuji near Azim Steppe. When the boy saw him knew from the start Musashi was a strong person, asking right away for the man to teach him his ways. After being asked too many times, and seeing Ryuji’s will to learn as well as how determined he was, the swordsman eventually took him under his wing. He didn’t teach only the way of battle, but also of the mind, the soul, and even taught him how the world function, the importance of respect towards other had as well as how right and wrong were just a matter of perspective. Eventually, he saw the need to send Ryuji overseas so the boy could learn more about the world and to deepen his training. It was thanks to Musashi that Ryuji invested in drawing, as his master told him it would help him train his focus. Character Name, short descriptor.

I'm not a native English, and I tend to use this to my advantage in RP since Ryuji/Weiss hails from the continent of Hingashi hence his English/Eorzean dialect isn't perfect. I might confuse things, use expressions that are wrong, or even say something that sounds strange for a proficient English speaker. However, If the person behind him (me) is confused with anything or has any questions, I'll state them as OOC! GUIDELINES Since my wife (Mari Loire) doesn’t do RP, if I’m with her please avoid starting RP right away. Always ask her if it’s okay to do so. I’m saying this because I don’t find it fair for her to find herself in the middle of RP without agreeing to it, mostly because we are enjoying some time together. I’ll only be open for RP, when I have the RP tag on. I don’t really have any preference regarding RP Themes, as long as they are coherent with my character. Nor do I mind doing quick RP that doesn’t affect my character (nothing of it will be counting for my character progression. It will be as if it never existed to Weiss) since I understand that there are people who just like to make RP without being stuck to a story, however I will never agree in doing ERP (even vanilla ones). I also don’t like to be stuck in one kind of RP, be it duel themed, intrigue theme, etc, so please don’t put it in a category. I’m sorry if any of those things seemed hard, or if I gave the impression of being a real jerk, but there are things I don’t agree with and I prefer to state them from the start in order to avoid miscommunication or any sort of troubles.
