Appearance: Mhastoum stands proud and tall over his Free Company, often seen with his hands on his hips, chest proudly puffed out. Usually, he can be seen in midnight blue gauntlets and greaves paired with blue-and-grey shawl and loincloth. Adorned with the typical paladin coronet to demonstrate his job, the Roegadyn's oddly-wrinkled face and greyed hair shows age beyond his years. A swipe of dark grey warpaint lines the underside his right eye, more for show than anything practical. Ninety-nine percent of the time, Mhastoum will be seen carrying himself with force and verve, marching determinedly to where he needs to be, be it an urgent meeting or tea and cakes with friends.

History

Mhastoum spent most of his young life in a small village outside Limsa Lominsa working under his father as a fisherman. When the Calamity struck, his father perished along with the land. Forced to seek refuge in Lominsa for two years, Mhastoum suffered as many others had due to Dalamud's fall. Two years was enough - he set foot for Ul'dah, hoping to find better conditions there. He would have been wrong, had he not happened upon an elderly Lalafell lady: Jojoka Joka. He escorted her back to the city, where she took him in. It was unnecessary, but Jojoka enjoyed the company. The journey to his new home had awakened a desire within him - to protect others. To protect them as he could not protect his parents, could not protect his friends, could not protect himself.

For the next three years, Mhastoum studied at the Gladiator's Guild. Under Jojoka's tutelage as well, the Roegadyn quickly learned the art of the sword and shield. He thought he was ready to protect those he cares for. Or, at least, approaching being ready. It was only three years of training, after all.

The excitement of his newfound goal in life led to him adopting his 'heroic' persona, pridefully strutting around Ul'dah for the sake of the Gullwings. This hubris was short-lived, as a quick sojourn to a dangerous artifact left a young and peppy Gullwings researcher dead and Mhastoum gouged right through the abdomen, which he had so proudly displayed. Time will tell how this event affects Mhastoum, for better or for worse.

Personality

Quiet. Shy. Reserved. Modest. None of these words describe the bombastic nature of Mhastoum Greinsyn. Bold, brash and ready for action, this Roegadyn is ready to do whatever it takes in the name of exploration, glory and friendship! No matter who or what you are, you will not escape the companionship of this stalwart Sea Wolf once you've struck up conversation. Unless you threaten the sanctity of his precious Gullwings, of course, then things are going to sour real fast. To the average person, however, Mhastoum might come off as a little too eager or forward. His attitude might even seem a caricature of heroes of legend rather than how someone might actually act.

His personality is undergoing a change due to recent events.

Friendships and Other Relations

First and foremost, Mhastoum is allied with The Gullwings. This is where his full loyalty and dedication lies. He is also technically allied with Ul'dah by proxy of citizenship, but his allegiance is undoubtedly with his Free Company.

Aran'sae Dia: A fellow Gullwing; Aran'sae and Mhastoum do not know each other particularly well. Beat up some hornets for him once.

Yuyuni Yuni: Another fellow Gullwing. Also has not talked with much yet.

Ivetta Greysteele: Another fellow Gullwing. Knocked over her lumber once.

Mipije Papije: They share a thirst for knowledge and exploration, it seems they get along rather well!

X'vett Nunh: Apparently accosted Aran'sae in a crowd once, but the whole thing was a misunderstanding. A few choice words back and forth, and now the two have made up.

X'nala Razh: Bumped into once and offered a fish his friend found in a rock. There's some semblance of a kinship between them now. Some strange form of forehead-fist bumping now serves as their greeting.

PC Rumours

"Mhastoum looks like he will break you in two and then break the two into four and the four into twenty, but he is actually not quite so violent!" -Mipije Papije

Other Notes/Trivia

Mhastoum is in a bit of a state of flux at the moment - transitioning from one part of his story to the next.
