Basic Info

Eaubront Shopont is a drifting, wandering swordsman, who is known to travel only with his chocobo (the procurement of which is a mystery), although he is apt to make friends or at least leave a positive impression wherever he goes. He is generally friendly and has a penchant for gambling. No one can tell you what clan he is, although they can try to guess- he is not outwardly of Wildwood or Duskwight descent, and he is quick to tell anyone that he indeed is neither; he simply is himself. That's good enough to him and he thinks it should be good enough for anyone else.

Personality

Eaubront has a playful nature; he's friendly and conversational, and while he can argumentative and sarcastic as well, he is rarely unkind. He also acts shamelessly charming and flattering towards women, only failing to do so after they've expressed discomfort in it, and no sooner than that. It's all in good fun, for him, even the arguments. Actually, especially the arguments. He is a clever man, although he has perhaps not yet found the best applications for his wit. He is aware of some of his strengths, primarily his intuition. He can quickly size up a situation and make a decent judgement of someone's character. He has used this to find reputable work, survive said work, and garner a relatively positive reputation for himself among clients seeking wandering adventurers such as himself to kill beasts for them or protect them for a while. These skills can also help him find creative solutions to unusual problems.

His weaknesses, however, he has less of a firm grasp of. Because he finds joy in contesting ideas and bantering, he sometimes goes overboard and easily comes off as overly argumentative or insensitive. When speaking with someone who he believes cannot back up their thoughts or opinions as well as he can, and lets that impression color all his interactions with them. He is also more interested in having and sharing ideas than he is in the upkeep and maintenance of those ideas.

He's a pleasure seeker who values freedom, but also values the happiness and well-being of others. Others should be allowed to pursue freedom and their own happiness as long as it is not at the expense of others' freedom and happiness. These values sit at the core of his moral and political beliefs.

Finally, he has a particular fondness for gambling and games of chance, often offering wagers to people in the form of a simple coin toss. Perplexingly, he appears to make many decisions, even important ones, based solely on the resolution of a coin toss. He proclaims that he has naturally good luck and places a contradictory amount of stock in it and how it guides him through his life.

History

Eaubront Shopont does not openly share the details of his past. He does not consider it important-- at least, not as important as the present, for the future. At most he will tell people he is from Gridania and left to seek his fortune in Ul'dah, which he considers the closest place he has to a "home", although he has no permanent residence anywhere.

Lately he has made a living for himself wandering the lands between Thanalan and the Black Shroud, making gil by performing odd jobs, taking guildleves, and gambling. He usually has enough gil to feed himself and his chocobo, and put himself up at cheap taverns most nights. He spends much of his free time wandering from place to place and socializing in said taverns. Though he enjoys the freedom this lifestyle afforded, with no obligations or commitments, he's beginning to tire of the day-to-day style of living and has started to keep an eye out for opportunities for more long-term employment during his travels.
