Reinard Ackerman
Character
♦ History
[edit]
Reinar Paciscor was the son of a wealthy tradesman from Garlemald. More precisely, the Paciscor family hails from a provice neighboring the original Garlean homeland. Reinar was the youngest son of the family and from a young age was considered by his father to be his heir. As such, young Reinar was instructed in a myriad of subjects such as etiquette, economy and trading. He would often travel to distant lands whenever his father personally attended to a particularly tricky business arrangement, and it was through these travels that Reinar first explored Hydaelyn. As it happens Reinar developed different ideas to that of his father: At the age of seventeen he enroled in the Garlemald Institute or Magic and Magitek. Unlike his Garlean Pureblood colleagues, Reinar had an unusual affinity to aether, arguably more than the average Eorzean, even, as he claimed to feel, faintly but surely the disturbances in the aether that surrounded him. This 'sense' had been discovered and developed during journeys that took him far from Garlemald, and it was this that first aroused his curiosity about aether and its mysteries. During his time in the academy, Reinar was particularly close to a small group of students whom proudly considered themselves the cream at the top of the faculties, a claim that wasn't entirely without merit given the grades of some of its members. They remained steadfast friends and colleagues, studying, practicing and even developening projects together during Reinar's stay at the institute, until an incident during a study project critically injured one of them. This put considerably emotional strain on the group, forcing them to split. Reinar left the institute a few months later, disappearing from public eye a month after that. To this day Reinar Paciscor is considered missing by Garlean authorities. |
♦ Appearance
Reinard is a tall man, with fair skin and complexion, fading brown hair and vibrant blue eyes. His hair is usually kept in a disheveled state, arranged by hand so it will not lay before his eyes of his spectacles. He tends to favor light clothes that do not impair movement, as well as elegant designs. Often seen with a book of some form on his person, and often seen reading said book.
♦ Personality Traits
Reinard behaves in a calm and collected manner most of the time, often quiet unless prompted. Likewise he's most often found at home in the midst of books and silence, even if he tends to drift towards a tavern every now and then to clear his mind and watch the crowd. A very logical person who seems to give great thought to every moment and action that he is to take, though he is not unkind or cold because of it. Indeed as a doctor he tends to display a kind and protective demeanor towards his patients, though some believe that is simple bedside manners. During work he prefers to separate himself from his emotion in order to maintain an unclouded way of thinking and acting. In those circumstances he's the most detached as he can be, even coming off as rude in some cases.
Reinard's behavior 'blooms' during research of expeditions, where he displays a more enthusiastic persona, often speaking up in conversations related to the current research, able to go on talking for long periods of time about information, its meaning, his theories and such, a behavior that tends to annoy those who do not share of his own enthusiasm. The only thing that rivals his interest in the pursuit of knowledge, seems to be his discreet interest in women; Keen eyes do not shy away from spying the beauties of that populate Eorzea.
Reinard has a particular quirk involving adjusting his glasses on his bridge nose which can be triggered by a number of factors.
