GENERAL APPEARANCE

Tall even for a Highlander, Eyvindr towers above crowds at 6 fulms 6 ilms. Lightly tanned skin suggests a significant amount of time spent indoors, though Ul’dah’s blazing sun still found a way to leave its mark. In another testament to Ul’dah’s relentless heat, Eyvindr keeps the sides of his head shaved short. However, he keeps his jet-black hair long enough on top to gather back with a thin leather cord. When unbound to wash or relax, this hair reaches almost to his shoulders. One of his more striking features is his heterochromatic eyes – one sapphire blue, the other emerald green. Coupled with his muscular build, Eyvindr is an imposing, if not intimidating, presence.

Eyvindr has a deep voice that lends itself to extremes, from a sultry purr to a commanding boom. His accent suggests he was either born in Ul’dah, or has spent a significant part of his life in the city.

Eyvindr favors dark colors such as black, dark purple, and dark blue in his attire. He never leaves his residence without his long cowl and robe, suited for protection against all sorts of inclement weather. A variety of magical trinkets of all sizes dangle from his simple leather belt, ranging from aesthetically-pleasing gemstone charms to ominous rune-covered orbs.

TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS

Tattooed on Eyvindr’s back are a pair of outstretched bird wings, the details of every feather outlined in black ink by an expert hand. The wings stretch from mid-torso all the way up to his shoulderblades.

A multitude of piercings adorn Eyvindr’s head and body. Both of his ears are pierced five times each – twice along the top cartilage and thrice in each lobe – and decorated with small loops and studs of silver, gold, and precious gems. A small silver bar is pierced through his left eyebrow, and a small golden stud adorns his right nostril. When seen shirtless or in a thin shirt, it is easy to see that both of his nipples have been pierced with bars of silver as well.

PERSONALITY

To phrase it bluntly, Eyvindr is a greedy man. Every decision in his life he has made thus far, from the trivial to the momentous, has been driven in large part by what he can obtain from it. Whether it be gil, personal possessions, power, or even people, once Eyvindr wants something he will rarely stop pursuing it. Selfless moments are rare; should they occur, Eyvindr will go out of his way to make it appear that it is not simple assistance but just an extension of his business.

Eyvindr should not be mistaken as a miser; he spends much of what he earns and is quick to grin and make jokes – even if his humor is dry, snarky, and sometimes teasing. He is also a vain man and is careful to make sure he looks as desirable as possible at all times. Who he is trying to impress is hard to discern.

COMBAT & WEAPONRY

As a Thaumaturge, Eyvindr specializes in manipulating the elements of fire, ice, and lightning into weapons of deadly effectiveness. Eyvindr never goes anywhere without his trusty staff – a long solid shaft of polished dark wood. The end of the staff is carved in the shape of twisting vines, wrapped around an apple-sized orb of shifting colors.

HISTORY

PRE-CALAMITY Just Another Mage Prior to the Calamity, Eyvindr was but a young student of thaumaturgy who used his business proceeds to fund his studies. Specializing in locating, obtaining, and identifying magical trinkets, his studies were a natural expansion of his business.

RUMORS

N P C The truthfulness, accuracy, and veracity of these rumors cannot be confirmed. ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard rumors to use freely. ■ "Aye, Eyvindr? I know the man. Tall fella, common sight in Ul’Dah, especially the Quicksand. He’s got a table in the corner all to himself most days. Adventuring types are always coming up to him, talking to him in hushed tones, gil and such exchanging hands. He must be a merchant of some sort, dealing with trinkets." — Tavern girl at the Quicksand. ■ " Oh, him? Harmless. He seems to stare at the male patrons now and then, and I’ve no idea why. They never notice, and he never approaches them. Maybe they remind him of people he’s lost? It’s sad, really. Twelve know we’ve all been there. I do that myself whenever a Midlander lass with short auburn hair walks in…." — Bartender at the Quicksand . ◢ Uncommon Rumors - Use sparingly. ■ "Odd man, that one. He'll never answer questions about his family. Dodges every single one of 'em, especially if you ask about his parents." — A textile merchant in Ul'dah.. ◢ Rare Rumors - Sensitive rumors. Ask before using! ■ "The man in the cowl in the Quicksand? I suspect that he deals in more than just trinkets and magical know-how for adventurers. I saw him one night slip a little pouch o’ something to a shady looking lady. The next day, a man came in, handed him a pretty heavy-looking coinpurse, then left. Not a word exchanged between ‘em." — Drunken homeless man on the street of Ul’dah . ■ "A shopkeeper who jipped him on a ring later turned up dead. I wouldn't be surprised if Eyvindr killed 'em. Got no proof though." — A delivery girl in Ul'dah.
