Chaotic Good General Information . ❝ COME ON THEN! ❞ Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice Pale Green Dusty Brown Heavily Tanned Muscular Baritone, Reverberating Bearing Laterality Scars Markings Style Tall and Straight Right-Handed Right eye, left cheek Mark of Althyk, back of neck Barbarian, Ultra-casual Hair & Eyes Garen has sandy brown hair, usually cut short, and pale green eyes set against naturally tanned skin. He resembles a heavily built individual of the sands. Physique & Markings Garen is a well-built individual, with a body designed for war. He has two visible scars on his face, one over his right eye and another on his left cheek. When bare-chested, he has multiple scars - the most notable is a circular, pale scar right over his heart. The upper nape on his back has a jet-black, burned brand familiar to those who study the Battle of Carteneau and the disappearance of the Warriors of Light. Hygiene & Attire Garen attempts to remain clean, but mostly at the insistence of his wife. It is not uncommon for him to go upwards of a week or more without bathing, and while he attempts to keep himself smelling good, it is often overpowered by the scent of blood and steel. At the minimum he regularly tends his teeth and hair... Personality Psychological Profile Garen is an often boisterous, often cheerful force of energy and nature. He throws himself into whatever he must do with glee and reckless abandon. He harbors something of a martyr complex and won't hesitate to dive in front of devastating blows to save his allies, but his from-the-front mindset and zeal of life does its best to win over those around him. Voice Garen is loud and emphatic, sucking the air out of the room and into his lungs upon entry. His voice settles approximately in the baritone region and is deep while not being too overpowering, save for its volume. (For the interested, he sounds just a bit deeper than Christopher Sabat's depiction of All Might from the anime My Hero Academia.) Philosophy & Mannerisms Garen doesn't put a lot of faith in philosophy or religion. He has lived his life at the edge of a sword's blade and that doesn't leave a lot for philosophising. While he fights with the best wishes of the realm in mind, and attempts to do good rather than harm, he isn't the type to think deeply about actions or hesitate beyond a few moments. Preferences Likes ● Drinking and celebrating ● A good fight ● His family (especially his daughter) Dislikes ● Zis ● The Garlean Empire (not necessarily individual Garleans) ● Too much reading! Skills ● Smithing (weapon and armor) ● Bartering ● Inspirational speeches

Combat, Abilities & Weaponry Basic Statistics High: Strength, Constitution Above Average: Charisma Average: Dexterity, Wisdom Low: Intelligence Aetheric Abilities Mastery: None Expert: None Average: Basic transportation magic Novice: White magic, black magic Untrained: Red magic, blue magic, arcamina, summoning magic Weapon Training Mastery: Greataxe, katars and punching daggers, longsword Expert: Shield, greatsword, spear, gunblade Average: Daggers Novice: Bow, gun, katana Untrained: Support weaponry/chakrams Combat Relevant Skills High: Improvisation Above Average: Average: Traditional Battlefield Tactics Low: Self-Preservation Instincts Non-Combat Abilities ● Charismatic: Garen is a gregarious individual and unknowingly tends to inspire loyalty and courage in others through his own self-sacrifice and compassion for others. ● Business-Savvy: Born in Ul'dah, Garen has learned the value of a gilbit and is a difficult negotiator, having a skilled head for business and operation. ● The Power to Transcend Words (unknown): As most Echo-Users do, Garen can understand every language. However, Garen is unaware of this. As far as he's concerned, since he returned from the Carteneau Plains everyone has spoken the same language. He is similarly unaware of his own ability to adjust his tongue to fluently speak any language he encounters. When told such, he is likely to dismiss the explanation as nonsense. Combat Abilities ● The Power to Transcend Mortality: This advanced Echo ability grants Garen an unreal resistance to damage, ensuring that it will take that much longer for him to be downed in combat. ● Instinctual Combat: A life of battle has left Garen skilled in the arts of war, and whether on a battlefield or in an arena, he acts with sharpened instincts. This reduces his reaction time in battle to nearly zero, ensuring he's fast enough to at least interact in the worst situations. ● The Inner Beast: Having possession of a Soulstone, Garen is capable of interacting with the beast within a warrior's soul. He can harness this to ignore the damage from blows further (though it doesn't restore the wounds) and strike with incredible force. OOC Note Any relevant notes about combat should be added here, such as player preference, system preference, or links off-site to sheets using existing XIV player-made combat systems.

RP Limits I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but even I have my limits. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no, and it means don't ask. ■ I will play . ■ Ask about . ■ I won't play . RP Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. ■ List item.

OOC Notes Player Information Player Note There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
