Basic Info

Soul: Paladin

History

At an age preceding his memories, Ainle was adopted and raised by an Elezen woman. She belonged to a group of privateers, and they were the family Ainle grew to know as his. His younger years were spent on ships and in port towns, his feet not firmly planting on the ground for more than a decade after his adoption. He began a life of his own by the approximate age of fifteen by leaving the privateer's life and setting a course for Ul'dah. There, he trained to fight in the gladiatorial arenas while the legendary paladins of the Sultansworn quickly became his role models. When he wasn't grasping a sword, he swung a pick, and a membership with the Miner's Guild more than paid his way.

Personality

Ainle's upbringing sets him apart from tribal Seekers. Adoptive name aside, he is both culturally disconnected and conversationally timid around all Miqo'te, and, to a lesser extent, most other races. Ainle often falls victim to social anxieties, but many others have found him to be a likable youngster. Friendliness runs deep in his character and tends to drive his interactions and relationships with fellow Eorzeans. Those few who come to share a close friendship with Ainle enjoy an unmatched measure of loyalty from him. Trusted companions have been scarce throughout his life, and Ainle is not one to squander them.

Combat

Here, Ainle is highly focused, given what others have seen thus far. Rather than it being a matter of favoring combat, he seems more duty-bound to protect his friends and allies. The results are a more decisive and much less nervous Ainle.

He is skilled in swordplay, and a trained eye could possibly discern that the boy prefers curved blades.

WIP! ● Seda'li Tayuun Initially striking Ainle as a professional arse-hat, Seda'li has turned his image around with him considerably. This Keeper of the Moon pressed forward when Ainle's shyness might have otherwise kept them distant, and they bonded when Seda'li proved himself to be rather caring. Now, Ainle cares greatly for Seda'li, and is strongly driven to see to his close friend succeeding in whatever makes him happiest. ● Onuma Ahntifi The first member of the 81st that Ainle encountered, alongside Seda'li, and one that he has quickly grown fond of. Her kind nature broke through Ainle's anxieties early, and he, like many others, has come to look up to her. For brief moments in Ainle's mind, she seems to fill the station of big-sister for him, a spot that otherwise holds a profound emptiness for reasons he cannot yet gather. ● ♥ E'liah Tia ● Rah'na Lihzeh ● Z'koa Rhiki
