Basic Info
History
Personality
The ex-sailor turned Twin Adder, Vallon, is more than a loose cannon. His drive and reckless determination launch him through most situations, whether leading to victory or ruin.A stubborn spitfire. With Reckless abandon Vallon will charge forth to meet any challenge. Restraint is not the name of the game with this particular individual, nor forethought into a situation. As said by Alice Lancaster, “There is a certain kind of brilliance under all of the stupid.”
Likes
Vallon is certainly a man of vice and greed. Though these forces do not control his every thought and decision, they certainly pull him away from his responsibilities at the worst of times. From drinking, to gambling, to the age old pass-time of chasing after women; Vallon is the quintessential tavern-goer. Adventuring, dungeon-delving, and contending with Primals provides Vallon with a certain level of adrenaline he finds lacking in most of his life. Just as the mountain climber only feels at home scaling peaks, he feels most alive when fighting real monsters. But, it’s not the triumph over evil, glory in battle, or even riches that truly fuel this passion -- It’s the camaraderie fostered by such. Vallon craves feeling like part of a team and loves to help a group reach higher. The participation in an organized group, or a crew, is what truly puts a fire in his eye. Personality-wise, Vallon is highly optimistic. Given his, virtually nonstop, jovial attitude, he finds himself drawn to people that are entirely opposite. Not to say he’s turned off by similarly happy people. His attraction to moody folk seems entirely impish in nature. There’s nothing more fun that trying to pull an introvert out of their shell. This gains him some level of frustration from those who would rather not put up with him.
Dislikes
Sharks
Fears
Starting with the foremost of Vallon’s insecurities: Vallon is terrified of being alone. Abandonment, loss, and loneliness weigh heavy on his heart. He puts himself out to great lengths in any attempts to maintain and protect friendships. His quirky and jovial attitude are one half-upbringing and one-half an attempt at always keeping those around him happy and smiling. Becoming the object of disdain or aggression is the last thing Vallon wants from anybody and it cuts him deep when he finds himself in such a situation.
Affiliations
Living Family Members & Current Relationship Status:
Slumbering Cinder - (Male Hellsguard) An old Roegadyn who served as Deckmaster under the First Officer. Something of an uncle to Vallon, he saw to it that Vallon worked just as hard as any crewmate, something Vallon to this day respects about the old guy. Slumbering Cinder now works as a night guard to an accounting office called Charlemend & Lumont: Accounting and services. Vallon visits him from time to time, but the office is in Ul’dah (a place Vallon has never felt comfortable).
- If anyone has some bit of insight into Vallon’s origin it’s this old coot. His knowledge of Vallon’s history would still be splintered (he certainly doesn’t know Vallon’s actual name), but if Vallon ever had the mind to ask the right questions Cinder might have the right answers.
(Added information from roleplaying: Slumbering Cinder is the father of the opera singer Singing Cinder. Her relationship with Slumbering Cinder is slightly strained. He’s never truly had an appreciation for the arts, far from it being a stuck in his ways old sailor. She’s always been a bit jealous of Vallon’s relationship with her father, their time together on the Jennessy is unfortunately something Singing Cinder never had the chance to experience. A missing father is never easy on a child, their current father-daughter relationship is proof of as much.)
