NAME: Ruran Vas BIRTHNAME: Hidden NICKNAMES: Ghost, Ser Knight GENDER: Male AGE: 28 NAMEDAY: 9th Sun of the 5th Astral Moon (8 Sept.) GUARDIAN: Azeyma, the Warden ALIGNMENT: Neutral Good (Lawful Tendency) BIRTHPLACE: The Black Shroud RESIDENCE: Drifting. Currently at an inn in the Thanalans. OCCUPATION: Artifact Hunter & Voidsent Slayer APPEARANCE FIRST IMPRESSION: Though rare for Ruran to stand tall and confident, his maximum height appears to be around 5’11”. The sword at his side indicates that he has the strength to wield it, but being encased in armor and donned with a mask makes it difficult to get an accurate read on his body structure or expression. Pale, almost white, hair hangs down to his shoulders, slightly unkempt and rarely pulled back. Fair skin, with perhaps a bit of blonde stubble, and blue-green eyes can be seen behind his wooden (sometimes metal) white mask. It has been said that he can appear intimidating, with most of his appearance hidden save for intense eyes that are often far too serious or solemn. He seems to be carrying quite a heavy burden, an aura of sobriety following him wherever he goes, which makes his shoulders sag and eyes grow heavy. Lately, a white chocobo (named Tathas) has been in Ruran’s company. Still gaining its trust and caring for its wounds, the man does not yet take the bird to join him on adventures, but perhaps one day. Until then, Ruran is finding some peace in having a friend to care for. CLOTHES: Ruran exemplifies simplicity and practicality. He does not often wear colors, instead choosing to stay limited in white, black, and any shade between. He wears no jewelry or anything that would indicate a penchant for finer things. His armor is fitted and light, a personal preference for the knight over heavy and ornate. It has seen its share of use—dents, dirt, and scratches mar the metal plates. But for the most part, Ruran keeps care of it, taking it to local smiths for regular repairs and maintenance. While he is most often seen in his suit of armor, he does own a few other articles for comfort. Sturdy boots, loose cotton slacks, and a gray tunic is not uncommon for the man during his downtime, though the mask remains. SCARS: None that can be seen. Even stripped of his armor, the man’s skin is oddly devoid of battle scars and birthmarks. Newly formed callouses line his hands and feet, but aside from that? Unblemished to an odd degree.

Ruran remembers the last time he smiled. It was far too long ago. Since then, only something akin to good-naturedness has flickered across his eyes, but none have yet to see a spark of pure joy, let alone a bright grin. Nevertheless, his seriousness does not mean coldness, and there is a quiet caring in his actions, even if his expression does not show it. Ruran is a broken man, which becomes more evident when reminded of certain things. Duty-bound. Whatever Ruran considers to be his path, he pursues it relentlessly, as one who knows of nothing else. Any pain of his past is pushed aside by mention of the duty he must fulfill. It seems to be the one thing keeping him going, even at the expense of his well-being…and his sanity. Altruistic. Perhaps to a fault, Ruran trusts easily and assists whenever possible. He tends to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and he reserves judgment until his trust is broken. He does not judge on appearances, but instead by actions. ...Sometimes multiple actions. Quiet. Ruran is a thinker, and his thoughts often pull him inward, leaving the man sitting in a crowded tavern or social outing and completely oblivious to his surroundings. However, Ruran does not enjoy speaking his thoughts; he will give polite answers and apologies to those who catch him in a daze. The longer an average day wears on, the more quiet he becomes, until he slips silently into a rented innroom and does not leave until morning. QUIRKS: • Very wary of explosives and firearms. May mentally break down if fired too close to him. • Likewise, he also has certain trigger words that inflict him with PTSD-like symptoms: flashbacks, paranoia, trembling, etc. • Adjusts his mask if feeling anxious or insecure, a comfort object of sorts. • Prefers absolute privacy when attempting to sleep. May feel too paranoid if out in the open. • Knows much about engineering, but refrains from speaking about it and possesses no items that would link him to such a field.
