Tiny Fawn
Although he had retired from the trade once, he has recently taken up arms yet again and continues his adventures around the realm of Eorzea. Born to a clan of Hellsguard Roegadyn within Abalathia's Spine, Fawn was raised learning both combat and spiritual skills. Reluctant to leave his home at first, it was his father's wish for his child to make a name for himself that pushed the Roegadyn into embarking on his journey around the realm.

Fawn measures at a relatively small 7 fulms - small for one of his own race, that is. Despite his shorter height, the man still boasts the wide and muscular build that many of his kind share. Cycles of adventuring have helped tone the man's body, making his form rather imposing.
The Hellsguard has a defined jaw, a thick beard growing across it and covering his chin. His eyebrows match his beard at being thick, and his nose is almost like a block upon his face, the bottom of it a black colour which contrasts the rest of him. His skin is rather tanned, hinting at his Hellsguard heritage and the man is often found covered in dirt, hinting at his outdoor lifestyle.
His eyes are a pale turquoise, contrasting with his darker skin tone and giving them a striking look.
His hair is thick, long and scruffy. The Roegadyn doesn't make too much effort to style it, usually quickly tying it up into a pony tail and keeping it out of his face. The cut of his hair is not clean, either, implying a job that he has done himself or, if someone was hired, he likely obtained a refund from.
A quick look at this Roegadyn shows that he does not appear to think much of his own appearance. His clothes are often slightly dirty, his hair always unkempt and he makes no effort to clean himself up unless it is a rather exceptional circumstance. He keeps his clothing choices to cloth and leathers out of combat, though is known to sport armour made of metal and furs when in battle.
Tiny's voice is most notably strong and loud. He speaks at a relatively calm pace, the tone itself matching. The Roegadyn also boasts a slight accent, giving him a slightly rougher sound. He refers to most as 'lad' or 'lass', even upon learning their name. He also avoids pronouncing a G sound at the end of words, opting to cut them short instead.

Strengths
Tiny's strengths lie in his experience, the man having worked with a variety of allies in his past and quick to adapt to the rest of his team. He boasts strong physical prowess, an imposing nature and he is firm in his beliefs, defending his opinion if he thinks his method or view is correct.
Despite his stubborn nature, if he deems a person worthy of their leader position he is quick to follow orders and do as he's told. He works well at covering others in his group and utilizing people based on their strengths. This also makes him a fairly decent leader in certain situations, though his stubborn mind often causes issues here.
Fawn traveled with a companion for many cycles, someone he held very dear to him and to this day regrets going their separate ways. His relationship caused him to develop into something of a protector for those he cares about, putting their own health and security over his.
Flaws
Fawn's stubborn nature often causes problems and conflict within a group if he does not trust the leader figure or the plans that have been proposed. Coupled with his experience, this at times causes issues as it can make the man a difficulty to control at times. The man is always wishing to prove himself and has been known to ignore a direct order to attempt something he thinks is wiser.
Upon the loss of his adventuring companion, Fawn turned to alcohol to help him cope for a good few cycles of his life. Giving up his adventuring life and instead working as a poorly paid apprentice smith, the man was known to drink himself to near death on several occasions. While he now has more control over this habit, Ripiku still finds himself drinking daily, especially in the evenings as it eases him to sleep.
Fawn is also known to be a little outspoken, especially at times of high stress. This sometimes leads to him causing offense and annoyance with his blunt comments and can have a negative effect on the morale of a group. Tiny also struggles with subtlety and lying is something he is genuinely awful at. Most often he will either create a too extravagant story or simply forget about certain facts which may unravel any lie he attempts.
Romance
Shortly after his first year of travelling Eorzea, Fawn met a young Midlander man known as Tyler Castell – a young adventurer who was skilled in the art of Conjury. The pair agreed to travel together and formed a strong bond. Although it started as friendship, the pair soon developed feelings towards each other and developed their relationship further, becoming lovers. They spent three years together adventuring through the wilds of Eorzea and working for the Adventurer Guilds of the City States, thoroughly enjoying their lives. It was during this time that the Roegadyn became known as Tiny Fawn.
Circumstances led to the pair parting ways, though it was only intended to be temporary. When receiving no word from his companion, Fawn spent two cycles searching Eorzea for the other man. With no trace of the Midlander, Fawn found himself turning to alcohol and retiring from adventuring.
Scarred from his only real experience with romance, Fawn is rather guarded when it comes to letting others in. Although he often flirts and comes across as confident, the Roegadyn shows reluctance at allowing himself to fall for another due to his history.
Combat
Like most adventurers, Fawn has some skill when it comes to battle. His weapon of choice is something that is two-handed. Usually the Roegadyn sticks to sporting a large axe, though he has been known to wield a hammer or mace at times as well. He is a bruiser, swift to move up close to his opponent and do whatever he can to prevent them from fleeing. Cycles of training have turned the man into a rather skilled melee combatant, using his strength to parry blades with his axe and overpower them quickly. A mixture of his heavy weapon, wide build and heavier armour makes the man a deadly upfront fighter, utilizing every last ounce of his strength to defeat his opponent.
In combat, Fawn sticks to a combination of leathers and furs with some added metal plates for defense. Like many who choose to wield such weapons up close, he protects his body with heavier gear at the expense of his speed. He uses the advantages of a heavy weapon combined with heavy armour as much as possible, suffering through the blows of his opponent until he spots the perfect opening to deal a devastating blow.
While he considers himself a strong combatant, Fawn is more than aware that he is at a disadvantage against swifter and ranged fighters. A lack of training with a bow and magical prowess puts him at a terrible disadvantage should he find himself against a ranged opponent that refuses to allow him to close the gap.
Skills and Preferences
Fawn's main goal in life is to make it through the day with enough coin for a decent meal and bed.
While the man enjoys the adventurer trade, he is very much into it for the gil rather than the thanks of those in need. After all, a 'thank you' isn't going to get you a pint of ale at the end of the night.

Player Character Relationships
| ●Brynhilde Wulf : A woman Fawn trusts with his life and has sworn himself to standing by her side for as long as he is able. The pair have fought side by side on several occasions, as well as against each other - both physically and verbally. A disagreement between them led to Fawn leaving Wulf and the rest of their allies, though the man has recently returned to stand by their sides once more. |
| ●Flickering Ember : A fellow member of the Free Company Aeon who has been around since Fawn first joined their ranks one cycle ago. The man holds deep care for the other Hellsguard, her childlike intrigue and comments always bringing a smile to his face. He pushed the woman into killing a common enemy once before, something which caused a rift between himself and Wulf. Fawn sees that Ember is a strong soul and, at times, wonders how far she could grow when pushed. |
| ●Varus Rosenthal : A magus that Fawn has crossed blades with once before, the Roegadyn has recently learned of the man's return. Fawn holds nothing but rage and hatred towards this soul and will do whatever it takes to rid the realm of him. |
| ●Sophia Grave : Once an ally. Fawn holds only fond memories of Sophia, though news of a recent reveal and betrayal has darkened his view towards the woman. Though he saw her as a stalwart ally, the man is now prepared to do what it takes should their paths cross once more. |
