Introduction

  <<CAUTION>> ALL information below is pending further Elezen lore in regards to age and the Warriors of Light, this will contain some spoilers but I will keep the major ones tagged! I'm also long winded and have used "spoiler" to tag any unimportant blocks of text.

  Quarimar is a Duskwight Elezen from series of island caves south of Thanalan. 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. Subjected to the spell of Louisoix, he was pushed forward alongside other adventurers but returned only three years later. After ensuring his families safety he has returned to Eorzea, both to seek out his missing Sister and survey the changes to the land.  

Primary Information

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 after attaining the status of Black Mage, thought of by Synndil. From the old tongue 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 Sacrarium who had also become familiar with the language. It insinuates 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.

Behavior and Personality

Attitude

• Towards the Bloodborn

• Beastkin Land Walkers Show text

While documenting the occasional rare variation he treats most beastkin as a resource to be utilized and finds protectionists rather than conservationists odd, particularly in the case of Coeurl and Wolves. He (so far) has unsuccessfully attempted to catalogue (in the wild) the deadliest and most notable of their kind, the fearsome Chimera. Only having the chance to attend the dissection and study the corpse of one along with a few other Scholars in Ul'dah.

• Cloudkin Of Wing and Talon Show text

Enchanted with the idea of taking flight on the wing he spends a great deal of his time finding the more peculiar and larger breeds of this particular classification. Hoping to find a way to take flight without the uncouth Magitech which currently dominates the field. He has taken particular notice of the Apkallus' durable plumage, and the aptly named "Death Gaze" their impressive wingspan and sizable profile makes him consider if they aren't the best source to replicate flight, even if it requires engaging the rumored Vyraal, perhaps the greatest of that kind.

• Scalekin Ferocity and Strength Show text

• Spoken The Contrary Show text

• Vilekin A Swarm or Colony Show text

Mostly a pest he is curious if one could replicate the hive based connections that seem to maintain the larger antling colonies but acknowledges its moral problems. He would still dearly like to try the system with a horde of Mammets, but the automatons are rarely available for such casual use and in the necessary numbers. He has also tried to find a way of breeding a more passive Firefly, but has met with little success. Part of the issue being not having a large enough area to attract a sufficient number and the other part being their immediate desire to flee his approach even if they are not hostile.

• Wavekin The Waters Legion Show text

He has little care of them, particularly since leaving his own home, more interested in the plants and habitats of the oceans floor than the inhabitants. He goes out of his way to remove Slugs and Anglers, they at one point, infesting his families home.

• Towards the Bloodless

• Ashkin Subjects of Undeath Show text

He has a particular focus on the Fomor as opposed to Ghosts and Wights, attempting to unravel the secret behind their revival while retaining the skills of their past life and a seemingly greater competence. He often studies Ak-Mena/Inik specimens. Excerpts of older texts dating to past empires seem to hint at rituals and the forgotten magics, but he has been unable to find anything that provides reliable results.

Combat
Speech: Normally measured and soft, his tones often reflect his thoughts going from a monotonous drone when dealing with the routine to a near endless flow of words when earnestly 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 men attractive. Outwardly prudish and obstinate to overt sexualization he still values genuine expression, desiring them to at least keep it at a distance.
