− | Having abandoned his home land of Sharlayan Emrys has been wandering the whole of Eorzea for the last eight years. During this time he made extensive notes on his observation of the people of Eorzea and the events that he witnessed, not to mention all of his notes of the ruins he spent time exploring. In fact if there was one thing he made sure to do during his time on the road it was to explore every ruin he could get permission to enter. Yet he never once let any of this deter him from his real reason for abandoning his home and guardian back in the Old World. For all his curiosity about Eorzea and its history his main purpose even to this day remains the same. He wishes to find out what happened to his father when he disappeared nearly two and a half decades ago when leaving for Ala Mhigo to witness the events unfolding around the King of Ruin and the fall of Ala Mhigo. The most recent of his leads led him to come into contact with a small group of Sharlayans living in La Noscea, which was a rather dreadful first meeting. Yet this set into motion a series of events that has led to him once more reintegrating himself back into society and giving up his wandering ways. Many things have happened since then, and those who know him best have seen a steady change in the man. Smiling more often than he did before Emrys is quite content with his life that he leads out of the small home he shares with [[Y'avery Tryska]] in the Lavender Beds. | + | Having abandoned his home land of Sharlayan Emrys has been wandering the whole of Eorzea for the last eight years.

This scholarly appearance though is a bit hampered by an almost hawkish and intense gaze that he holds most times. It’s the sort of gaze that feels almost judging and piercing, as if he can see a person’s inner secrets. This causes his mint green eyes to always seem like he is searching for something, analyzing everything that comes before him. He does his best to keep his appearance as well kept as possible with his near platinum blonde hair often kept in a ponytail to keep it out of the way, and always appearing very clean. |
'''Scars & Markings:''' Emrys has scars on the palm of his left hand, remnants of the times he has cut open his own hand to use his blood as a catalyst. In addition to the scars on his hand Emrys also now has a trio of scars running from shoulder to elbow on his right arm, looking like a claw had been dragged down his arm. | '''Scars & Markings:''' Emrys has scars on the palm of his left hand, remnants of the times he has cut open his own hand to use his blood as a catalyst.

'''Clothing:''' Emrys can usually be found wearing some form of robe or jacket on a daily basis, and failing that he seems to prefer finer clothes. His more common jackets are a black jacket that he uses while diving into ruins, and while most will usually see it in some form of disarray he always keeps it clean. Another one that he keeps on hand a lot is a formal green jacket that came along with him from Sharlayan, though until recently he had kept it stored away he has taken to wearing it once more now that he seems to be staying put in Limsa. Aside from those two the rest are varying in style though they are usually blue or green in color and always presentable. Most recently he seems to have relaxed some and there has been a slight shift in his wardrobe. While he does still always wear gloves he has taken to wearing some looser shirts as of late, an indication to how comfortable he has gotten..</div> | '''Clothing:''' Emrys can usually be found wearing some form of robe or jacket on a daily basis, and failing that he seems to prefer finer clothes.

The couple met at a single's night at the Wayferer's Rest that Emrys had been dragged to by a his friend Rowena. Having approached him out of concern over suppressed emotions that he seemed to be giving off in a way she could sense Avery made an impression. Then, after giving her a tour of La Noscea a few suns later she had his attention. The next few sennights were turbulent ones as Emrys was placed in a position he'd never been in before, starting to genuinely develop feelings for someone. However the steadfast Avery stuck by his side after he promised to be faithful to her and her alone, even if he didn't believe himself worth it after his mismanagement of the situation. Following this the two started seriously dating and even moved in together when the Free company he worked for collapsed. During this time Avery also became pregnant which in the end only brought them closer. Now the two live together in the Lavender Beds with their newborn twins Eawyn and Aaric. Even now Emrys can't begin to describe what Avery means to him as she is everything to him. It is his only hope that he can make her as happy as she has made him. Just about the only thing he catches himself worrying over in regards to their relationship is that he feels like he fumbled something since despite having children they have not been bonded. Whether this will change soon or not is a story for another time.<br> |
− | + | Aodh: In regards to Aodh Avery is someone he is supposed to protect with every fiber of his being. While he is influenced slightly by Emrys' feelings for her the carbuncle also has taken a liking to her. Never one to overtly impose she always gave him his space, and of course spoiled him with sweets whenever she got the chance. She is the only person he will ever allow treat him like a pet, and in some ways seems to enjoy it. ((Updated as of 3/18))</div> | |

That said he does trust her enough to have brought Avery to give her a check up during Avery's pregnancy.

He does at least respect Zan, after having seen him in action and having been healed by his spells. For now Emrys has decided to indulge in his curiousness slightly, but still remains completely on edge.</div> |

Emrys ~ “Not all those who wander are lost” - J.R.R Tolkien, Lord of the Rings ~
Having abandoned his home land of Sharlayan Emrys has been wandering the whole of Eorzea for the last eight years. During this time he made extensive notes on his observation of the people of Eorzea and the events that he witnessed, not to mention all of his notes of the ruins he spent time exploring. In fact if there was one thing he made sure to do during his time on the road it was to explore every ruin he could get permission to enter. Yet he never once let any of this deter him from his real reason for abandoning his home and guardian back in the Old World. For all his curiosity about Eorzea and its history his main purpose even to this day remains the same. He wishes to find out what happened to his father when he disappeared nearly two and a half decades ago when leaving for Ala Mhigo to witness the events unfolding around the King of Ruin and the fall of Ala Mhigo. The most recent of his leads led him to come into contact with a small group of Sharlayans living in La Noscea, which was a rather dreadful first meeting. Yet this set into motion a series of events that has led to him once more reintegrating himself back into society and giving up his wandering ways. Many things have happened since then, and those who know him best have seen a steady change in the man. Smiling more often than he did before Emrys is quite content with his life that he leads out of the small home he shares with Y'avery Tryska in the Lavender Beds. Now the proud father of twins Emrys is trying to adjust to the life of a father while balancing his duties as the Head Curator for The Arcane Circle's Collegia.
While Emrys detests meaningless fights he has no issues taking up arms when the situation arises. In fact one of the things he laments the most is that all of his knowledge and skills are honed for use in battle. He's light on his feet allowing him to navigate a battlefield without any real issue, making him prefer fighting up close and personal. This holds true even while he is casting spells, in fact he specializes in being able to cast spells at point blank rage for a much harsher level of damage. In addition he almost always fights in tandem with his carbuncle, Aodh, and the pair work together flawlessly. The combination of the two makes Emrys a force to be reckoned with even though many seem to doubt the strength of arcanima for reasons beyond his knowing. Arcanima: Arcanima is what Emrys will always rely on when things become violent. Having been trained in this art from a young age, and even then would have been considered a prodigy if his heritage wouldn't have been holding him back. When in a fight Emrys will always begin by chipping away at his opponent, slowing them down and making them weaker before he begins to drive the bigger hits home. This is done through a combination of using spells that inflict illness, as well as draining away his opponent's aether. If it is someone who has truly earned his ire this will take even longer as he starts to toy with them until they can no longer move, and only then will he finish them off. There are times though where he will use spells that seem to have for more strength to them than one would assume to see coming from an Arcanist, though such are far fewer than a Thaumaturge would have on hand. Thaumaturgy: While he will never readily admit it Emrys is actually fairly familiar with Thaumaturgy to the point he actively wears a focus he never uses. This is a result of his upbringing as his Guardian is a thaumaturge of considerable strength and made certain that his charge was trained in its use. Due to the fact that he doesn't utilize it often, nor did he dedicate much time to learning it he is no where near as capable with it as he is his arcanima. In fact this is something that is used in emergencies as an absolute last resource. Fencing: During his childhood years Emrys took up fencing as a means of physical conditioning, as well as just a hobby for the moments he wasn't in class. His skill with a rapier is lacking and it remains a completely impractical form of combat for him to use in a serious fight. That said he is able to fall back on it if there ever is a need for him to do so, he'll just end up getting extremely injured in the process.
Many who meet Emrys will inevitably run into his carbuncle Aodh at some point or another. In fact the carbuncle is in the man's presence more often than not which makes him a rather important part of of Emrys' life. Emrys has had Aodh since his early days of arcanima when he was a child, having summoned the creature while messing around with a tome that his guardian had. Adoh is strong willed, protective, and quite a bit on the violent side of things when he needs to be. There is no doubt this carbuncle can easily be seen as a small seething red ball of fury when the moment calls for it, and that normally ends up in something being mauled or slaughtered. Normally he prefers not to be the center of attention and is very distrustful of people at first. The other very noticeable thing is that where Emrys is very guarded with his emotions Aodh tends to be very open and helps keep his caster in check on that particular front. Ways to Earn Approval: While he may seem hard to befriend, getting on Aodh's good side is actually quite easy. The first and foremost way to do so is to feed into his rather considerable ego, this gives one a very good impression in the carbuncle's eyes. Another one is to assist him in any mischief he may be up to which is quite often. Whether it is offering him liquor that he can't handle, playing along with pranks he is playing on Emrys, or just letting him get into things he shouldn't be. There is also an even bigger bonus for those that share their sweets with him. Ways to Earn Ire: This is far easier to do than it is to actually win him over as he is very temperamental. Anyone treating him like nothing more than a pet or a stuffed animal will swiftly find out how bad of an idea that is, or how much he dislikes it. Also treating him like he is something that is weak and fragile will also cause this as pride is something that he is extremely big on. Aside from this mistreating Emrys, those close to Emrys, or picking on those unable to defend themselves. Combat: Aodh's way of fighting is very forward and completely brutal. True to the gem he is summoned for he exudes massive amounts of strength and can easily take down anything quite larger than himself or even Emrys just by using said strength. He will quite literally rip chunks out of whatever it is he is fighting, though he prefers to go for the eyes or the throat right away. In addition to the pure physical strength he can utilize he also is able to use fire based aether, though this is far less common but still extremely effective. Normal use of this kind of aether is generally by accenting his own attacks with it.
