Character

♦ General

---

Rothen Sails, at the very moment, is your typical working young adult that gets by with all that he can handle. Of course, he was born by the sea in La Noscea with his mother and father. Given his father was an officer of a crew, when he came of age he was taught how to be a sailor almost immediately. Soon enough, his talent with working the rigging of the sails shone throughout, and it wasn't long until he was a part of the merchant crew that his father was apart of. He was taught many things by his father during their trips before he has passed away, and he had a lot of wild, childish, but even true adventures as he learned many things of the sea at such a young age. His father, however, has died during the big event that has transpired five years ago that has lead to the destruction of most, if not all, of Eorzea. Currently being in Crescent Cove for a while after things riled up due to what went on, he had luckily survived without his father, whose location would be unknown. Being one of the survivors of said event, he had to go out on the world into his own, and of course, he had no choice but to initially help with everything that was going on in Ul'dah after all that. But soon enough, he became of his own, hanging around the fisherman and woman of Crescent Cove and helping about in the small space. Though, he did live in Ul'dah, and he made his living through marketing his fish most of the time. Though, that isn't what he wants to do. He remembers the glory days of him sailing with his father, going through the seas at an almost of an adventure. He, in a half-wit attempt to become a full-fledged adventurer, joins the Pugilist guild to try his hand at fist fighting, but he doesn't know what will become of him next. At least he knows his desire for a want of recognition.

♦ Appearance

---

His appearance is extremely simple and varies. Mostly sporting drab green clothing and an old bandana he used in the days of his adventures overseas, he doesn't wear anything special unless its truly on the occasion. He sports a dry, black, and unshaven stubble to signify his slight age and lack of wanting to cut his chin off. Under the bandana he also has black, short hair that, in the exact opposite, signifies his youth. He wears rather usual pants and shoes as well, but occasionally changes it up a bit, but other then the rare occurrence of a change of pace, he wears his usual dull clothing.

♦ Behaviour

---

He behaves rather calmly most of the time, but due to being a big-time sailor, he always had a thing for beautiful women. Though, after having a home town of Ul'dah, somewhat known for its dancers (or maybe not so...), he has gotten very used to the sight of them. He doesn't seem to mind the usual off thing that happens in Ul'dah, but he usually stays out of harms way. He has this sort of uncanny luck for keeping out of harms way anyways, so that is a plus for him. He has no sense of meeting royalty, and never ventures past certain areas of the city, as accidentally meeting someone important for him might end up badly. Overall, he is a rather nice and collected person, and won't really get angry unless given a very good reason to do so.

Combat

After a while of training within the Pugilist Guild, and actually being dedicated for once, he has gained a good amount of technique and skill that has ever-so been buried deep beneath him. Even though his true skill hasn't erupted from him yet, it seems he has a ways to go before matching up to certain others, but he seems strong enough to hold on to his own now.

★ Recent RP events ★

■ Recently, he has finally decided that enough is enough from the boring work of a fisherman, and that he wanted to re-live the adventures that he has went on in his younger days. Soon enough, he started to attend the Pugilist Guild much more often, ignoring his need for Gil for a moment. He started to get worried, obviously, until an opportunity arrived, being delivered an invitation to a Free Company known as the Harbingers of Dawn. After a bit of research he knew they were a company of good will, and that they were to be adventurers who help Eorzea in whole. He took this simple Tavern Night invitation as a chance to join them, and gathered what Gil he had to travel to La Noscea in an effort to apply after the night. Luckily for him, it has went well, and he is now currently apart of a Free Company known as Harbingers of Dawn. Who knows of his future now?

■ A 'mission' has transpired within the Harbingers of Dawn. Not much can be said about it, but Rothen did go out for the first time in actual combat. It was rather harsh for him but luckily he went out fine, as he didn't go in with the main force. It seems as if it has affected a bit of his thought for a while, but it is something he will have to get used to eventually. However, going back to the estate, he felt cheerful that he at least went out on some sort of venture for the first time in his life. A milestone for him!

Relationships

● Crush ● Sexual Desire ❤ In love with ● In a relationship ● Good Standing ● Neutral Standing ● Poor Standing

Friends None NPCs ● Momodi – He has always gone into the Quicksand for a drink or two, especially of ale. Even though Momodi picks him as the next few idle trader, he had always had been reeled in by her very specific gestures that she would make when she is excited for something, or even others so. He doesn't plan on talking to her about it with her anytime soon, however. He isn't important enough, among other things! But either way, the crush is still there, and she'll have a spot in his mind for a bit. Its a good thing he doesn't make this as noticeable, or else he'd be the next joke! Recently, he hasn't been to the Quicksand in forever. In fact, he hasn't been around Ul'dah for a while until recently, so this crush isn't as much as it was before. Heck, after a long time, he has gotten used to it.

Acquaintances ● Jihl Wilzuun – Jihl is someone he has met and kept in his mind for a while during his stay with the Harbingers of Dawn. She's a rather helpful Miqo'te, and that's only just an understatement. To his eyes, she helps out too much, and he has wanted to return the favor many times as he would not be used to such accommodations. He is, as usual, extremely grateful for what she is doing, and even tries to make up for it sometimes. Either way, he feels rather odd talking to her at times with her shy personality and all, but he feels rather happy around her for an odd reason... Enemies & Rivals None

Rumours

■ "Rothen? Ah, tha' fine fisherman is the one you talk about. He seems to be more trustworthy than anyone around here, but that's pretty much all I can say about him. He doesn't talk much unless ye make him. Dunno why he keeps to himself like that... Though, I haven't seen him in a while." -Crescent Cove Fisherman

■ "Oh, Rothen! One of our suprise star students, of course! Now who would believe that someone like him would just turn up and push himself to further heights... I mean, mayhap I was correct! He -did- have a fire burning beneath him, but what exactly woke it is a mystery..." -Pugilist Guild Member
