A very over confident, daring, charming and spirited self-sufficient man. Gene’s relentless and apparent brazen nature often lures trouble to his doorstep. He comes across as a selfish, narcissistic and somewhat egotistical Hyur and is known to act the hero wherever he may see fit for a reward.
However withal this assumed façade is noted to be a natural protective to his most treasured memories and people in his sand-shifting like life.
This self-proclaimed ladies man isn’t short of friends and although his charms backfire and fail him more often than not; His luck seems to hold out on him just in the nick of time.
Apropos to his romantic advances and charms that often fail him, they have in some way been said to leave a warming, amiable effect on some folk. (But they daren’t admit that to him of course!)
A little hypocritical and silently at war with himself now and then, he is driven with determination when it comes to troublesome and trying times where he and his friends are concerned.
His heart is often in the right place, leading him to make decisions resulting in some less than favourable consequences.
Gene has light blonde hair with darkening tips and very light facial hair, usually with a stubble chin. He has a tanned skin tone and olive complexion, sea-green almond shaped eyes and a narrow but soft nose. His teeth are in great pearly white condition and proudly maintains them so.
He has a light blue painted tattoo on the right side of his face, likely a symbol of his Midlander family heritage. Casually, he often wears a light blue shirt usually seen worn by most seamen. A sandy white embroidered pattern trails along the collar. He is very rarely without his black boxing hand-wraps and gil pouch tucked beneath a buckle of his trousers.
Wears a number of different situational attire for light travel to armed and venturing fighter. He carries a deck of cards with a blue motif identical to the tattoo on his face and calls them the ‘Treno’ deck specifically designed for a card game popularly played by his father's friends.
And last but not least, he wouldn't be the complete seafarer picture without his gold and glory. He wears two gold earrings, rings, bracelets and sometimes a necklace on special occasions.
Voice: Distinctively warm, masculine and generally friendly tone. When serious or sombre, it becomes very slightly raspy.

During the Third Umbral Moon at the age of 16, Gene found himself roped into a shady life with a company of piratic dabbling activities. With the unexplained loss of his parent some moons before, Gene grew somewhat unbalanced but his ever remaining resolve kept him from completely losing sight of the future. He accepted his parents’ disappearance and spent many moons planning his ways of survival. However, all lawfully practiced endeavours to survive began to take their toll on him and prove next to futile thus he fell into a darkness for a short while.
Genes days were spent scrambling for food at the disposal unit and hawking the streets for dropped gil in the city of Ul’dah. A stalwart, gruff looking Roegadyn noticed the young, now vulnerable Hyur one evening flicking a pack of cards between his grubby fingers. The back of the cards were marked with a blue waving motif. The Roegadyn made no attempt to sugar coat his intentions, just by a glance; Gene was very well aware of this mans trade. It was perhaps his overwhelming and forward approach that persuaded Genes acceptance of the pirates offer for he would never had chosen to walk such a path before now.
Around two cycles later, Gene had learnt the ropes and earned himself a significant position among the corsair ranks. With his own charm paired with an influenced mendacious attitude, he became a valued asset and was tasked with a role in one of the largest illegal operations the crew had ever contrived. Sources and information had reached the crew with word of a cargo that would leave each member richer than some of the richest people of the three city-states together. A fantasy in reach of becoming a reality for Gene and the others.
Although he had no choice but to accept the task, he battled with an instinct he’d thought he had overcome a long time ago. He whispered prayer to Althyk perhaps in desperation, after two cycles of no request for help. This was an enormous risk and he knew the consequences were undoubtedly fatal. Nonetheless, he managed to slip unnoticed aboard the ship apparently loaded with extremely high valuable jewels.
Gene succeeded in finding the treasures in the darkest place below decks. He opened the top of one of the crates after a good few hours of putting his acquired skills in lock picking to use. The sun glimmered a stream through a tiny crack in the side of the wall, his eyes sparkled behind the black mask and he paused momentarily. As he reached into the crate to take a closer look at one of the dazzling gems, footsteps echoed ever closer so he shut the crate quickly and hid in the shadows of the deck, sleeping there for the next evening.
The ship finally reached port and pre-planned distractions took place as Gene readied himself to take the cargo out the opposite side of the ship. As he lifted the crate he previously opened, although a heavy weight was to be expected, it was even heavier felt unbalanced that what would be normal. He eventually managed to come to a narrow cut down a lane and just as he turned to lower the crate, it wobbled and slipped from the tip of his fingers crashing onto the ground. Out poured the jewels and something else rather unexpectedly…
Gene stood frozen, aghast and in utter amazement. Gazing up at him were two big, dark ruby eyes of what appeared to be around an 11 cycle Miqo’te, her arms bound to her body, gagged and hands in shackles. Gene pulled the gag from the Miqo’tes face and spoke broken words of question and confusion. He removed his mask and tried to search for the key amongst the heap of jewels but to no avail. Riddled with panic, and the thought of the crew or worse, the army passing by; He shifted the bound Miqo’te girl aside and began scooping the jewels back into the crate.
With every heartbeat, time was running out and instead, Gene pocketed as many jewels he could fit before a rushed but genuine apology and glanced around for some sort of escape. The Miqo’tes voice of panic alerted a nearby Yellowjacket and any hope of escaping a rich Hyur dwindled rapidly. At this moment, Gene displayed a heart once lost in the time of the last two cycles and tried to calm the girl down, removing his shirt to cover her body to keep her warm. And at that moment, the Yellowjacket approached them and a perplexing sight at that.
In a blundering instant, Gene managed to string a story together along the lines of him coming across the crate innocently, taken back by the Miqo’tes presence in the crate and pocketing the jewels so that nobody would steal them as he searched for the key to the girls shackles. The Jacket didn’t appear all too convinced but managed to find the key and with that, confiscated the jewels and the crate thus leaving Gene with no fortune but not entirely empty handed.
Gene disappeared with the young Miqo’te whose later revealed name is P’llofii Hyun and completely abandoned his crew. Needless to say, he kept a low profile for some time andreluctantly took P’llofii into his care for the next five cycles but naturally, their bond grew over time.
