| − | Rhen's body is riddled with scars from his time in captivity. The most noticable scars criss-cross his back and wrap around his wrists and ankles. Though he doesn't make an effort to conceal the scars that mar his otherwise statuesque frame, he doesn't talk about them either. Due to his inability to see through his left eye, Rhen's hearing is exceptionally good and almost completely makes up for his lack of visual depth perception. Rhen could be considered attractive, were it not for his demeanor. Rhen learned many forms of combat, both melee and ranged, finding equal strengths in both. He also found a love for art and music, spending much of his free time sketching people around him or practicing new songs with his lute when alone. Rhen is almost completely self-taught, having lacked a proper upbringing. While his ability to speak does not show this, his inability to read and write does, along with his apprehension of social situations.

| − | ==History==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Early life is something of which Rhen never speaks, aside from mentioning that his name was once W’rhen Tia. How he came to Ul’dah and what had become of his family before then is something that he himself may not know the answers to. However it came to be, he spent his formative years without a family or a home in the squalor of Ul’dah’s darkest alleyways.

| − | It is here he lived the life of a pickpocket, scrounging and scavenging in the back alleys for whatever he could get to survive. He decided to call himself Rhen, foregoing his connection to a tribe that, presumably, had no attachment to him. For many years he succeeded to live in this manner, but things changed when he tried to pick the pocket of a merchant, as he has so many times before. This merchant was in fact a ringleader in Ul’dah’s underground fighting circuit. Had he known this, he might have paid more attention to the two men to either side. Both men were fighters in the employ of the merchant and their duty was to act as his muscle for an important business venture that would require all the gill the merchant had in his purse. Though Rhen managed to get the purse, he was unable to escape the fighters who caught him soon after. The purse was retaken, but not before Rhen was beaten until he lost consciousness.

| − | Rhen awoke to find himself beneath the city in dark cell, a place that would be his home for some time to come. From the others who inhabited the cells around him he learned that he was to be a fighter in the arena, but not the one that Ul’dah was famous for. This arena had no formal home, nor did it have any rules. Fighters lived and died for the pleasure and profit of those who had enslaved them. Rhen spent his days training and fighting, as days and nights bled into each other. Due to his nature as a loner, he was dubbed Maverick and hardly any who saw his fights knew he had any other name. The constant fighting and training toned his body as much as it wore him down. The world he had come to accept as his lot in life changed when, during a fight, he took a club to the head. The blow, which should have taken his life, had taken the gift of sight from his left eye. Half blind and stunned, Rhen was at the mercy of his opponent and he braced himself best he could for an attack that never came. The ground shook and the very air around them thundered; the Calamity had struck Eorzea. The ceiling caved in, spilling brick and fire upon the arena and the area around it as the wealthy scrambled and pushed at each other in hopes of escape. Through sheer strength of will, Rhen fled as rubble pelted his back and flames licked at his clothing and skin. In a small clearing amid the wreckage that was once building he found the merchant that had captured him. His legs had been crushed by a wooden support beam, flames dancing upon it crawling ever closer to him as he squirmed beneath the weight. The man begged Rhen for forgiveness, and promised him many things in exchange for saving his life. Rhen would never find out if any of these promises were to be kept, though, as he left with the merchant’s purse as the man screamed at his back.

| − | Now a free man with some money to his name, Rhen found only promise in the new age the Calamity had ushered forth. With the skills he had gained as a fighter he quickly found employ as a mercenary and bodyguard under the employ of many merchants across the land. Having spent so much of his life in Ul’dah he eagerly learned all he could of the world around him through his travels. He had decided he liked the sound of Maverick, taking it on as a last name as a way of reminding him of where he had come from.

| − | ==Personality==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Rhen is quiet and gruff in nature, choosing to speak only when it is required of him. Somewhere beneath his stony visage and walls of doubt and mistrust lies a warm heart, though few have ever managed to get close enough to see. Rhen tends to keep to himself, using the skills that his life granted him to thrive without much need for assistance from others. While not one to turn away company, he is also not one to seek it. Gaining his trust takes time and effort, but he would reward such with undying loyalty. Despite all of this, he will offer help to those in need without question or compensation because of his past.

| − | Though knowledge of Rhen as a Mercennary would be easily obtained, information regarding his past would be impossible for anyone to know. If you wish to have IC knowledge regarding any of Rhen's past that has not been expressed by Rhen himself, then you must first clear such with me.
