Chaotic Neutral AppearancePersonalityStoriesRumorsMusicOOCCredit Error creating thumbnail: File missing Hair Color: Black streaked with Silver Eye Color: Crimson Red Height: 5 fulms, 11 ilms Weight: 181 ponzes Rhin is tall for a Midlander Hyur man and in excellent physical shape as befits one used to strenuous work. While not as bulky as his distant Highlander cousins his lean athletic frame is sheathed in wiry muscle under his tanned skin, only occasionally marred by several scars here and there. He keeps his short hair cut to a manageable length, though it annoys him that it tends to highlight the ever-present silver streaks which makes him appear even older than he actually is. The stubble of a fast-growing beard rims his chin and Rhin has long since given up on trying to keep clean-shaven every day. Aside from the thin line of scars from an unfortunate training accident crossing his cheek and the bridge of his nose the other facial feature of note Rhin bears are his crimson colored eyes, atypical for someone of his apparent heritage. Typical Garb: In his casual outgoing garb Rhin favors outfits typical of the seafaring crews of his home nation, usually consisting of trousers tucked into tall leather boots along with1 a loose fitting shirt and/or vest adorned with sashes and pockets for stashing small items and tools of the trade. At home in his own quarters he will settle for a simple loosely belted robe and comfortable pants to lounge around in. Preferred Arms and Armor: Rhin is an expert spearman due to his training and thus favors polearms as his weapon of choice going into a fight, but he recognizes the disadvantages of the weapon in close quarters combat such as below decks or within the corridors of enemy strongholds. As such he has also practiced in the use of the paired blades said to have been the tool of choice for the so called "Upright Thieves" that once lurked among the Lominsan pirate crews, and he usually carries an assortment of knives stashed about his person at almost all times. After a stint working in Ishgard's shadow he has also begun training himself in the use of the Ishgardian greatsword, finding the oversized blade useful for especially stubborn foes while being less unwieldily than the traditional Lomisnan broadaxe. During his time with the Maelstrom he favored the reinforced leather and scale armor of the Maelstrom Elites for it's balance of toughness and unhindered mobility, but lately he has begun using the strange otherworldly armor left to him by his master for greater protection and other benefits. Likes Wide open spaces. Wether it be the ocean horizon before the bowsprit of a ship or the endless expanse of a mountaintop vita (Or better yet, a high clifftop view overlooking the sea), Rhin is incredibly fond of the sensation of unbound freedom inherent in open spaces where the winds can blow freely. Technology. Rhin inherited an innate understanding of mechanical devices from his master which was further encouraged by his friends at Miqo'TEK. Aside from a few explosive mishaps tinkering with the equipment left behind in the Miqo'TEK workshop after their departure, he has gained a certain level of mechanical acumen. While he isn't so good at outright inventing new devices, his curiosity enables him to figure out existing devices with surprising ease - and the number of accidental detonations have been (somewhat) reduced. History and Lore. Since Rhin has such little history of his own to speak of, he will spend hours reading up on local history and lore or listening to stories about past events if given the opportunity. Dislikes Dodos. Aylis Tessier's pet dodo Wheezy followed Rhin around everywhere and preferred to make its bedding out of Rhin's clothing and hats, often leaving noxious and corrosive gifts in exchange. Bureaucracy. Having to deal with rules and regulations goes contrary to Rhin's sense of freedom. Having to sit behind a desk to fill out forms and make copies of paperwork is his idea of a bad time, especially when he could be out getting the job done instead of working through red tape. Ul'dah. It's a sandy, crowded, walled-in dustbowl of a city full of merchants and 'entrepreneurs' who will happily fleece anyone of every last gil coin they can get regardless of who they are. The lengths people will go through to work their way into the hard-earned coin of the common people make even Rhin's piratical tendencies cringe since the loot is stolen by scheming and trickery instead of through proper raiding and plunder. Fears Dodos. Weaponized Frypans. Binding Contracts. Trivia Favorite Food: Grilled meat, noodle dishes Favorite Drink: Halonic Orthodox Rolanberry Eiswein Favorite Color: Silver, shades of blue, shades of dark grey. Stories are in chronological order.
