P E R S O N A L I T Y

L I K E S ■ Meats -- Anything from Steak to Salmon ■ Confidence -- Confidence, not cockiness. ■ Family -- His new 'adoptive' family is his world to him. ■ Fighting -- Being a Xaela, war is as natural as breathing. ■ Hugs -- Nothing ever beats a good cuddle. ■ Children -- Pure of hatred, bigotry, and prejudice, Ranic enjoys the company of such souls.. ■ Bathing -- Ranic can lose himself in showers, baths, and waterfalls for hours on end. ■ Iriq -- The only other tribe that Ranic instantly trusts.

D I S L I K E S ■ Dotharl -- "These creatures deserve death in the most painful way possible." ■ Adarkim -- "Had they the brains to unite all the Xaelan tribes with their numbers, Othard would be free of the Garlean menace by now..." ■ Jhungid -- "For all the efforts they put into their pointless war with the Kharlu, we could have diverted that into defeating the Garleans." ■ Kharlu -- "For all the efforts they put into their pointless war with the Jhungid, we could have diverted that into defeating the Garleans." ■ Magitek -- "So easy do the Eorzeans embrace the Garleans way of technology, do they forget that it's this same technology that would lead to their subjugation" ■ Accents -- "Each region has a local accent, and that I can accept... But why does it sound like every other strange snowflake out there is chewing nettles?"

H A B I T S  &  S K I L L S Quirks/Vices ■ Dark Skin -- People with dark skin colours automatically attract his attention. ■ Flirts -- From innuendo's to distracting movements, Ranic can be very easily distracted by flirtatious attitudes. ■ Pain -- Whether in combat, or in the bedroom, certain levels of pain either invoke the good kind of lust, or the bloody kind of lust. ■ Small girls -- Whilst not exactly Lalafellian, Ranic does enjoy petite women. Abilities/Skills ■ Expert Axeman -- From Battleaxes to Hatchets, a good Axe in Ranics hand is as deadly as another. ■ Incredible Willpower -- It seems in combat, Ranic just cannot be felled... It's when he leaves the battlefield do his allies begin to worry about him. ■ Magitek enhancements -- After losing a large portion of his shoulder muscles, an Allagan and Magitek expert, an Ironworks apprentice, and a Skysteel Machinist came together to work on replacing the damaged flesh. With an Aetheric converter implanted into his ribs powering the Magitek musculature in his shoulder, Ranic has some unique abilities as a result. ■ Damaging Aura -- Whilst he doesn't quite understand it, under certain conditions his Aetheric pool begins to manifest outside around of him, damaging friend and foe alike in harsh whipping winds. He'd study it further, but he is usually lost to the blood lust by the time it comes around.

■ Spirituality/Religion. Ranic believes in the myth of the Dusk Mother and Dusk Father, although he doesn't see them as anything more than silent watchers.

■ Politics. Any politician who has not shed blood for their country, doesn't deserve to speak on behalf of their countrymen.

A P P E A R A N C E

■ Body: Ranics body is littered in many, many scars and disfigurements. The vast majority of the scars are punctures around his torso, slashes around his joints, and burns sporadically around his body. ■ Skin: Ranics skin is a deathly pale white. He seems to blush red, bruise in a light blue colour, and bleeds red. ■ Hair: Ranic has a dirty white hair colour, usually kept tied back into a ponytail of some sorts. ■ Eyes: Ranic has a piercing red-eyed stare as his resting face. Some have compared it to Garlean red eyes, or in more extreme cases a demonic red. The left eye is a tattered and mesh of stitched together skin that was once his eyelid. With how the stitching has brought the eyelid into the empty space where his eye was, there is a dark shadow over his left eye.

■ Clothes: Ranic tends to favour open shirts, or loose clothing when relaxing. If armoured, Ranic wears a suit similar to 'the' Warrior set' ■ Jewelry: Ranic has filed down his pointed horns to make them considerably less lethal in more relaxed environments. To keep their naturally sharp appearance, he wears silver points on the end of his horns. ■ Distinguishing Features: As one of the tallest and muscular Au Ra, Ranic has quite the intimidating presence. ■ Other: Ranics spaded tail is usually held firmly to his leg, or whips about sharply behind him if agitated.

R U M O R S Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. Please feel free to add your own rumors under the Player Character category! ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ "He's occasionally asked to accompany Ul'dahn forces when we're raiding Amalj'aa camps. Often he does this unpaid. Say's he just there for the sport of it." - Ul'dahn Soldier ■ "He makes a damned good curry! Sometimes he just prepares me one of his sauces in exchange for spices and I'm more than happy with that arrangement." - Spice Merchant ■ "Oh, I remember him. He was stood by a signpost and stopped me to ask what it said. He told me he'd been there a good few minutes just bathing in the sun waiting to find out if he was going the right way" - Travelling Merchant ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "We've had to stop him from fighting our behalf on the Cartenau Flats. We've received too many complaints from the other Grand Companies about the state they received their soldiers back." - Immortal Flames Representative ■ "He's violent? Why, because he's scarred? You're just being rude, Ranic is lovely. He's always here visiting the kids and making sure we're alright, and I won't have you talking ill of him." - Orphanage matron. ■ "The sands of Thanalan are less thirsty than him. You can tell with the way he's leering over people he's got one thing on his mind." - Barmaid ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ "I saw him as he truly was. Used as propaganda for the assimilation of Xaela into the Garlean war machine. The perfect soldier for the Garleans, and a nightmare against his own people" - Doman refugee ■ "I've seen him time and time again come up this way North and one day I followed him to see where he was going... Guy just broke down crying in the middle of an empty field, sobbed for about ten minutes then dusted himself off and set off home... What kind of connection would he have to this place anyway? Bloody Lizard." - Ishgardian Scout ■ "Ranic still lives? Good. The tribe is pleased with his work." - Unknown Xaela ◢ Player Character Rumors - Feel free to add rumors of your own! ■ Feel free to add your own rumors here! ■ "Ranic? Truly, one of my best friends. He is loyal, stubborn and so full of life, even if at times he does not see it." - Nailah Quill ■ "That fuckin' idiot? He's a pain in my ass. Still...that might be a pain I want to live with. We monsters need to stick together, after all." - Aliandrielle Naveleal ■ "I don't get him. He can be calm and reasonable, good to talk with. But in battle he gets absolutely crazy, reckless. Idiotic. He's gonna die soon if he keeps up fighting like that." - Mauh'a Relehna ■ " Ranic's a good guy who's been through a lot of hardships. Don't be too quick to judge him, yeah? Sure, he's got a bit of a temper but I imagine most would after going through his ordeals. I've seen both his good side and his bad side during my time knowing him, and I know that he's got a bigger heart than he let's on. " -W'gahr Lupercal

Hidden Feelings/Unknown: This character has one of all the color keys above, but isn't fully aware of it yet. R E L A T I O N S   Nailah Quill (  ♥  ●  ♠  ✔) - Nai Nailah was amongst the very first Eorzeans that Ranic met, as well as his former lover. Though the two had many differences, they often came back together to the end. When Ranic learned that the company she was in charge of was failing, and she had done nothing to forewarn the family that had cultivated inside of it, Ranic faked his death, and parted ways from Nailah. Though he still loves her, he cannot accept what she's done and both lovers and hates her in equal measure.   The Kindred Remnants (  ♥  ●  ♠  ✔) - The Kin When Ranic learned that the Kindred he'd grown to call his family was about to die out, Ranic believed that the fractured factions and cliques within it would never survive the coming crisis as a family, and they would scatter to the winds. Knowing this would leave some in extreme danger, Ranic knew he had to bind them together before the coming storm. With help from Vyncent Fields who was also in the Company at the time, Ranic arranged to fake his death in defense of the Kindred family, a statement to the power of sacrifice and putting the family before the self. By most accounts, this message resonated within the Kindred, who banded together in his memory after his supposed passing, and when the Kindred disbanded, they came back together as a singular entity once more. Knowing that his sacrifice meant so much to them, he knows that returning from the grave would be a great dis-respect to their mourning, as well as an insult to the struggle they had without his presence to aid them during their hardships. As such, he does his best to avoid them at all costs, lest he opens wounds that to them have long since closed.   Cirina Malqir (  ♥  ●  ✔) - Ciri After finding Cirina in a dive bar whilst on a search for the Iriq tribe, she took to his company quite easily and soon joined the company he was in thereafter. Cirina's quiet and innocent nature makes her widely liked and respected wherever she goes, yet he thinks she still has a lot to learn, with both experience and learning to guide with her heart and her head as one instead of two seperate entities. Still, he's happy to guide her to her goal, even if he finds her naivety gets in the way sometimes.   Sechen Hotgo (  ♥  ●  ✖) - Sech Ranics former lover. Fiesty, fierce, and formidable, she was everything that Ranic wanted in not only a friend but in a lover. The two quickly fell in love, and were even trying for a child at one point. Being a Hotgo however, the sorrow of losing her tribe left her seeking vengeance against the Dotharl, who in turn sought vengeance against her. Ranic found her broken and mangled corpse in the snows of Coerthas, and although the ground was frozen solid, he made sure she had a proper burial.   Vyncent Fields (  ♦  ●  ✔) - Mophead / Vynce When people talk of Elezen arrogance, they can only describe it in a way that reminds Ranic of Vyncent. Although Vyncent tries to appear benevolent and nice, he knows the man plays with his cards close to his chest and as a result, Ranic doesn't put all too much trust into the white haired former Garlean. Although as of late, Ranic has found that the man tries to appear more and more benevolent. Whether this is just for show, or a side of Vyncent that Ranic was unaware of, Ranic still keeps the man at arms length.   Inran Sas Skarain (  ♠  ●) - Sas Skarain Ranic formerly spied upon the Garleans for the Moks tribe when the Garlean Occupation of Othard spanned across the entire continent, and in his short time in service to the Garlean war machine, he distinguished himself as a competent strategist and warrior. Earning the title and name Pyr Securis, Ranic was placed under the direction of Inran Sas Skarain who would see that the Xaela would be in charge of the Auri slaves. When the Auri exodus to Eorzea went into full swing, the Garleans attempted to transfer a lot of critical tribal information to the Eorzean Legions, of which Ranic chose to break his cover to make sure it never reached its end destination. Inran Sas Skarain apparantly survived Ranics attempted murder, and as such Ranic feels it's his duty to finish what he started.

. ✖ P L A Y E R   I N F O ✖ ❇ I've spent many years roleplaying across many different games and platforms. These include but are not limited to: Starbound, Wildstar, Elder Scrolls Online, World of Warcraft, Forum based RP and many more. I try to incorporate as many people as I can into my RP, and feel particularly bad if someone does not feel part of the 'group' that I am roleplaying in, however because of how inclusive I like to be, I do not tolerate RP or personalities that conflict with the group. Group cohesion is very important to me, so if I am ruining the atmosphere I expect people to let me know immediately, but I would also do the same to others which has been known to cause conflicts. ❇ For Combat in Roleplay:: I much prefer free form, but will settle for rolls if pressed. I like specific emotes that describe where peoples limbs are at, and the weight behind all strikes or movements. I appreciate that this is fantasy and characters can be super speedy or athletic, but I also like to appreciate realism and as such most hits that come Ranics way will hit. All strikes have lasting effects on my characters, so limb and organs that are damaged are more often than not permanently afflicted thereafter. ❇ Concerning Romance RP:: Ranic is promiscuous but has clearly defined tastes and as such he will not ERP with anyone for the sake of ERP unless there is adequate reasoning for him to do so. If entering into a relationship with Ranic, I will expect to know this person quite well OOCly due to the personal and emotional ties that Ranic will develop, and I would rather not RP a saddened Ranic due to someone randomly losing interest in the game or RP. ❇ I HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN A DUMBLR SJW RP SOCIETY. I WILL RP IN ACCORDANCE WITH LORE AND PRESENT MY CHARACTERS AS THEY ARE, FAULTS AND ALL. ❇ My Other Main Characters are Chihaya Tabito & Midnight Ivy. I have a handful of alts as well!
