Oriel "Orhi'a" Durand is a Keeper of the Moon miqo'te who hails from a small settlement on the fringes of Gridania. After he came of age, he left the Black Shroud behind him, calling Ul'dah his new home and taking an alias. His penchant for collecting rocks and other knickknacks earned him a place at the local Miners Guild. After the Calamity struck, he'd returned to his clan's home, only to find the place in ruins. With his family gone, he has dedicated himself to his work, even picking up a few crafts between mining contracts to keep him busy. Lately he has taken a liking to Limsa Lominsa, more so after discovering his passion for cooking.

A lot of stuff is a Work in Progress at this time, so please forgive me for many of the empty spaces! ; w ;)

Appearance & Personality

Oriel is tall for a miqo'te, and his work as a miner has left him with a lean, toned body. His dark umber brown skin and light green hair provide an interesting contrast, as do his hetero-chromatic eyes (right is blue, left is green). His hair is thick and fluffy, both on his head and tail. When mining, he wears protective gear over his slops and a loose shirt. What he wears the rest of the time varies with what he's doing, though he does have a preference for loose-fitting tunics and boots. Most of his clothing tends to be dyed a dark color, most typically black or inky blue.

He is an introvert, and tends to keep to himself when he is not out on a contract. While he doesn't dislike people, he is unsure of them, and would rather watch them from afar. He comes off as polite, if a bit shy to most strangers. Once he gets over his initial discomfort, he's rather friendly. He is the kind of fellow that would have no problem listening to you prattle on if he liked you well enough, nodding and smiling all the while.

He values his personal space, and does not like his bubble to be violated by strangers. While not outright hostile, he does tense up when touched by other people, particularly those not affiliated with the Miner's Guild and the Bismark.

As much as Oriel loves to read and write, his handwriting is atrocious and difficult to understand. He has a tendency to rush as he writes, butchering his script in the process.
