  Quarimar is a Duskwight Elezen from a series of island caves south of Thanalan in the Ash Sea. While not a native to Eorzea he has lived there for nearly a decade, in that time he has come to call it home. Requiring numerous materials from nearly every corner of the land he can often be found traveling far and wide atop his trusted Chocobo Nhestal. After ensuring his families safety after the calamity he has returned to Eorzea, both to seek out the companions he lost and to survey the changes to the land.

[edit] Information Behavior and Personality Affiliations Writings History Art/MSC Personals Quarimar by Ansenmaru Name: Quaraunt Imarin (Ku-waar-aun EE-maar-inn) Baenund (BAY-nn.OOn-duh) A families potential history. Show text A few translations have been made of this family name mostly by him and Synndil before the event with Dalamund, Quarimars attempt at interpretation is "Blessed by monsters touch" Supposing a talent appearing monstrous or perhaps representing abilities augmented by some sort of Primal, He still searches for a more accurate account. Aliases/Nicknames: Quarimar (Ku-waar.EE-maar) Far and wide Show text A shortened version of his name, used when coming over to Eorzea and used commonly since. He prefers that only his family know his full name. Istrysn (ihst-riss-inn) Thankfully forgotten. Show text Known to his family (and previously to members of the Sacrarium), given to him sardonically and thought of by Synndil. From the old texts she was helping him decipher it can be translated in a variety of ways, "Ist" as "Endless or Immortal" and "Rysn" as "Artifact, Dweomer, Sorcerer or Spell." Synndil intended it as "Endless Spell" poking fun at his often longwinded exposition on possible tweaks to various incantations. It was twisted to "Immortal Sorcerer" by some of his peers at the Cabal insinuating the more barbaric "sorcerer" term along with use of "immortal" as a kind of curse, implying a lack of connection with Nald'Thal. He has come to resent it immensely and is quite glad that it has been forgotten. Quari (Ku-waar-EE) For his Friends. Show text A shortening of his Eorzean name, used mostly by his friends who often truncated his name into one quick sound anyways. While he finds it a bit embarrassing when used in public, and though he would never admit it, he is pleased to have one. Attendant A title used while working. Name Day: The Twenty Second Sun of the Fourth Umbral Moon Age: Thirty four years old before the battle of Carteneau Family Home: Islands in the Ash Sea Current Residence: A room in Ul'dah at the Ossuary as well as one in the goblet attached to the Order of the Sword and Rose hall. Occasionally found camping at the Silver or Golden Bazaar. Occupation: Freelance Adventurer, Scribe, Physician, or Craftsman for hire. Though he has never worked professionally as a stone mason or goldsmith he has some small talent. Mostly repairs, jewelry and sculptures done up for himself with particularly pretty materials that he finds. Else where he has taken a few jobs for helping with dissection, poultice making, and cataloguing. Speech: Normally measured and soft, his tones often reflect his thoughts going from a monotonous drone when dealing with the routine to a rambling passionate flow when curious. His speech is often verbose emphasizing clarity of understanding with touches of foreignness usually idioms or phrases from his home. Sexuality: While primarily Hetero sexual he can be an incorrigible tease towards both genders when he opens up and does find some males attractive. Outwardly prudish and obstinate to overt sexualization he still values genuine expression, desiring them to at least keep it at a distance. Appearance Height: 6 Fulm 8 Ilm (80ilm total) Weight: 185 Ponz Hair: Gray/Silver, shoulder length. Eyes: Red Irises, usually squinting. Skin: Black/Gray, An ash tone. Markings: few Scars along knees, feet and the back of his hands, the top of his legs and back have a mixture of fait burn marks, the skin a bit lighter and appearing stretched. Physique: Long limbs and fingers, a toned and lean body from sparse eating and frequent travel, well-kept but showing ware. Attire: Possessing a half dozen outfits for various situations he changes a great deal depending on what befits the situation, in most cases he's always wearing a few rings, a bangle and a half dozen odd trinkets on a necklace or otherwise. Storage is always a theme no matter what he's wearing there's a belt with pouches on his hips, or bags stuffed into various pockets or tucked into the layers of cloth. There is a deliberate variation in his clothing, he goes as far as wearing a mask while he is hunting [usually poaching], the all but useless sword on his hip in his "Thanalan" garb and effort to blend in, clearly attempts to make him unrecognizable at a casual glance. Combat Ideally he avoids it all together, instead observing or hiring mercenaries to fulfill what needs doing from monster slaying to duels. He's come to rely on a hand full of people to fight on his behalf. In Thanalan he will make a point of stressing the importance of t he various groups that maintain the peace. In most situations he uses a mixture of spells to disable and debilitate their own abilities, desiring the chance to questions the assaulter or use them in an experiment if nothing else. He keeps catalysts and poisons of him to administer against the disabled to ensure their cooperation after the fact. Cornered he tends to lash out with the more direct spells in his repertoire, often lightning and Ice. Though he doesn't like to admit it, he considers the quick death of a shock or chilling shut down preferable than the feeling of suffocating on wind, or the broiling away of flesh from fire. When hunting on his own for reagents across Eorzea he makes a good show of trying to utilize the bow and lance work he learned as a child, its amateurish at best. He does his best to utilize the terrain around him to lead anything he's hunting into a snare or isolated area. Hobbies An enjoyable way to pass the time.

I should rather do my best with what I have, when I am able, for whom ever I can than wait for some 'perfect moment.' Making our own moments is what has seen my family through hardship generation after generation."       Before Eorzea 1.0 post-Dalamund, pre ARR ARR and beyond   Thanks to Piyu Show text Art: thanks to Umi Satome Show text About the player Hello, I'm Michael!
