Occupation Traveling artist Nameday 32nd Sun of the 1st Astral Moon Verahs Aevyl, truly a Work in progress. Generic information blah blah Artist/Traveler/ Given up as a child by his mother, a clan leader of Keepers. Didn't want a male seeker/keeper mix to be her first child, but didn't want to waste the months of carrying him, so she sold him to a boat operator outside of Western Thanalan's docks. Grew up on a boat full of misfits and Raen, who eventually threw him over board after a few years of working as a boat hand and when questioned about it they blamed the previous nights storm ( Yo man I gotta expand on those dudes and why they didn't like a tiny cat doin all the work they were supposed to do because he was smaller and could climb up the damn masts whenever he wanted to etc etc) verahs barely made it shore. He was able to find work, a swordsmith literally picked him up from the sea and asked him to help out since the swordsmiths own son didnt want to help. After a couple years and learning on his own how to handle a sword and dagger, after helping the swordsmiths wife with chores around their house, he saw her painting and asked to be shown how to do that too, turning his free time into learning to sketch and people watch. since then he's sold his works to various people around doma. blah blah this is so shitty gotta expand that stuff as well ugh ugh he doesnt have a 'doman' name because he's not from there originally, but the question led him to wonder what eorzea is really like so he popped on board a ship and headed back. THE END. Verahs is often found out in the streets of the main city states, stocking up on supplies before heading out into the fields again. Verahs's Inventory Last updated: August 7th, 2017 - A single large leather bag contains various inkwells and pigments, all stained with use but wrapped in paper as to protect the other contents. It's a small wonder they haven't cracked. A roll of quills and brushes wound in leather and twill, made from the hair of horsetail and bamboo. There are a questionable amount of glistening pebbles and gems scattered about, as if they were thrown in as an after thought. A sac of gil lays inside as well, red and decorated with gold thread and glass beads. It looks expensive and hardly touched. In another bag lies various types of paper, rolled neatly. A large, heavily decorated, circular red rug is rolled around it, protecting the paper further. Height: 5 fulms 4 ilms Weight: 165 ponz Complexion: Tan; a result of wandering in the sun. He is used to traveling on foot and therefore sleeping in the open field. Hair: Black and unkept. Wavy towards the bottom half, which is long enough to cover his eyes. Eyes: In his right - a brilliant white in the characteristics of his Keeper blood. In this left - a fading light blue, the pupil gray and unfocused. Slender in the face; a result of not properly eating. A tiny scar on his chin is barely visable; a result of a skirmish. Furrowing eyebrows suggest he is upset, when he really he's just thinking too hard about the composition of his next sketch. Thin in body, but not without muscle. Years of working as an assistant in a smithery has left him with many cuts and scars on his hands and arms. He uses his knowledge in the little swordplay he's learned to his advantage should he need to defend himself, but most of the time he's able to sneak out of harms way anyways. His voice is usually raspy, purely only because he doesn't get the opportunity to talk very often. After a sentence, he's usually reduced to a cough and a 'harumph' to clear his throat. Afterwards it's smooth, low and genuine. More often than not he smells of berries and fruits, as those are his preferred snack and are most easily available to find. He tries to change his clothing once he sets up shop to appear cleaner and a tad more professional, though only for the sake of his customers. When meeting someone new, Verahs is probably more interested in sketching their face than actually meeting them. Though seemingly awkward when sitting in silence, he tries to ask about the person he is sketching to keep them talking while he works. It's important to note he's not really listening to what they are saying, its more of how they are saying things. It's also because of this that he'll deflect any questions aimed back at him, instead answering in mysterious, sarcastic ways to keep them talking and to see their reaction. He honestly thinks people of Eorzea are pretty interesting and beautiful, no matter your gender, and when finished sketching he will focus more on them. Once Verahs gets to know someone better, after a couple days of meeting each other, he's much more casual, taking the time to really listen and respond to questions. He'll want to show you picturesque locations and when the best time is to view it and how he slept in that tree over there a couple nights ago and how it was really comfortable for a tree and he recommends that if you should need a place to sleep around here, then that tree is the one for you. He'll probably realize he's talking like a mad man who hasn't had a friend in years, and he probably is exactly that, and he'll tell you that, but he means well and wants to show you the beauty that you live in. Flaws ■ Workaholic. He's spent many years traveling in silence on his own, so to suddenly have someone interested in him is strange, to put it lightly. He doesn't often know how to keep conversations going very well. ■ Secretive. It's hard to get him to talk about himself. ■ Self-Perfectionist. It's rare he'll actually show you any drawings, as 85% of the time he'll rip it up in fustration. The other 15% the work is sold. Fears ■ Being forgotten. Though he loathes talking about himself personally, he want to be remembered, if only for the fact he drew someone. Some things your character is afraid of. ■ Losing his sight. His left has been failing him ever so slightly, but it's enough for him to notice and feel threatened by his own body. ■ Chocobos. Twelve forgive him for wanting to get a closer look at one and being promptly kicked in the face. Talents ■ Art in general. Whether it be landscape or portraits, he wants to record everything and know it's story. He's good enough to have loyal customers in various cites and towns, with most of his sales with the Xaelia in the Reunion. ■ Discretion. He can keep a secret and knows the value of it. He's not one to sell trust for gil, no matter how much his stomach might growl. ■ Swordplay. Having grown up along side a Doman swordsmith, he's come to learn a few things about the weapons he's helped make. Quirks ■ Tends to covers his face when he grins. ■ Eats lemons like candy. ■ Preferences Hobbies ■ Some things your character likes doing in their spare time. ■ ■ Likes ■ ■ ■ Dislikes ■ ■ ■ Favorites ■ Favorite Color: Something.
