Introduction

It's 4 a clock in the morning, as you walk down a forest trail looking for botany spots to harvest some of natures treasures, as you walk around you notice a some smoke in the distance, curious where it might come from you wander off towards the smoke. After walking for a few minutes you find a lit fireplace with one chopped up stomp, with 4 eggs frying on a hammered out iron plate that rest on the rock circle of the fireplace, just above the smoldering. A few feet away from it you see a tent, and as you approach closer you hear a clattering sound as you see an armor covered man surprisingly swiftly leave the tent as he hold a pair of slices of bread in one hand, and a fork in the other. He look at you and say with a friendly voice as he pick up 2 eggs and place it on one of the bread slices.

Greetings traveler! You came just in time for breakfast, have a seat and enjoy some egg on toast.

Appearance

Alaire is a 1meter and 77cm tall hyru, he is lean and mildly muscular from his training as a gladiator. His face is chiseled, seamed and almost sculpted looking that match his bodily appearance quite well. Decorating it is a pair of sea blue eyes and perfectly trimmed 'dirty blonde' hair, that he spare no gil in preserving its classiness. His skin is quite light much like most mid-lander's, but somehow refuse to tan, regardless of how much time he spend outdoors in the sun.

Clothing wise he try to refrain form wearing expensive clothing and armor, in an attempt to appear more peasant. Thus usually wear his battle armor as casual clothing, and mere underwear’s and light top under it, but he will during some occasions dress in more fine wears for special events.

Equipment

Besides whatever armor, shields and swords he finds (and use) in his travels, Alaire carries quite a lot of equipment that are useful for surviving when exploring the wast wildness of Eorzea.

  • A bag of Limited Holding: An old birthday gift from his younger days, it was had made in collaboration with Ul'dah's weavers, alchemist and Gridania's leatherworkers guild. As a way for him to store clothing and other personal belongings inside when camping. Its great for stuffing useful equipment, items and gear in!
  • A huge stack of ARUB Hair Gel™: The secret behind Alaire's fancy hair, a magical hair gel that is part of the SzynMeure brand. Not only do it make it flame resistant, it makes it soft and shiny to! Provided for free because of his family ties and is delivered on monthly basis using his MognetPrime subscription based shipping.
  • A Stainless Steel Comb: A quite sturdy but not to sharp steel comb, for dealing with dire emergencies like bed hair.
  • A Notepad: Great for taking notes, reading reminders, and scribble cool things in! It have a fancy generic sword and shield emblem on it, and a little removable pen attached at the top of the metal spiral holding the pages together.
  • A full set of Camping Equipment: Complete with a 4 man tent kit, 4 sleeping bags, FIR3 Campfire Lighter™, ICE2 Mini Icebox™, botany, carpenter and culinarian equipment!
  • A set of ProRing™ Weapons+Armor Maintenance Gear: Consists of armor polish, dark matter and basic blacksmith and armorer gear. User guide not included.

Characteristics

For being born from a wealthy family he is quite humble, and fully capable of handling things by himself for the most part, as long as he don't bite more than he can chew. Having met people of many races from all corners of the world during banquets and other events during his youth, he don't usually judge people based on their blood nor origin, but the few times he dose it's from personal experience as an Ul'dah guard. He is also quite capable of keeping his head cool, being able to shrug off insults and harsh words tossed at him by frustrated citizens and royalties alike, but if they speak dishonorable about his family name or parents, he wont hesitate protecting his parents honor. In normal cases he is quite of a silent person but if someone begin talking with him he is more than capable on keeping the conversation up from dusk till dawn.


… You know, most people would probably curse at me for choosing a life full of danger and deadly beasts who wish nothing more but to rip ones heart out, over a life of wealth, comfort and expensive meals. But hey, this has far less paperwork and snobbish people bragging to you about how high their silly shares values are on daily basis!

The Story of Alaire Szynskii



The Birth. <spoiler>Frederick Szynskii was a miner who was considered one of the big winners of the Ul'dah mining industry, who worked his way to wealth using fair honest work, cunning business agreements and plenty of accurate material demand predictions. With his wealth he invested resources in buying smaller businesses ensure stable income and continuous growth of his company brand, SzynObsi. He was a very social man who believed the only proper way to integrate new businesses into the “family” was with an “honest to god handshake and smile on ones lips”, and that this was the only way to ensure a company’s health. One of his purchases was a small family owned jewelry store called Meure Trinkets, owned by Lira Meure. The business had been going bad, but Frederick knew he could easily turn the ship around with some good marketing and a big familiar brand name to make it stand out form the crowd of shady jewelry dealers in the region.

Lira Meure where refusing to sell her shop, stating its her family pride resting on her shoulders, but Frederick would not give up and let himself getting shooed out so easily. During the heated debate, Frederick saw the flame in Lira's eyes, and deep passion for her family business, partially seeing a piece of himself in her. Lira growing more and more annoyed of Frederick's stubbornness to take a no for an answer, sought to end the argument by giving him what she thought where an impossible request to fulfill “The only reason you would have this store is part of your so called family, Mister Szynskii. Is if you where a party of MY family!” After a large pause, Frederick smile at the furious young lady. “Then be it. Will you, Lira Meure, be my fiancee?” Lira face turned from being red and angry to blushing and embarrassed, totally caught by surprise by this, thinking such a rich famous man never possibly could consider marrying such a close to peasant no-name. “Together Lira, lets make our fathers and mothers proud, and ensure everyone will know, the heart and quality of the brand SzynMeure!” Lira bursts into tears, willingly accepted Fredericks offer, knowing that if a man of his caliber would change his life works name for her sake, he must truly care about her. They both learned to love each other, and 4months later completed the company merges with a marriage. Alaire was born 3years and 2months later later in the Ul'dah capital.</spoiler>


The Childhood.<spoiler>Alaire had a good childhood regardless of its flaws, he always had a good meal on the table, a soft clean bed to sleep in, and a sturdy roof above his head. His parent's still kept true to the family the tradition of managing all important deals in person, thus spent most of his time alone at home with his personal man servant, Mossop. Mossop got the job as Alaire's man servant at the age of 16, and was like a big brother for him, no matter how much of a bad time Alaire had with the other wealthy children during his classes, he could always go to Mossop for support and comfort. The lalafell Mossop was practically a part of the family, as he lived in the same building as the rest of the Szynskii family, and had his own room to sleep and keep his personal belonging in, as well as a private bathroom with bathtub. This was due to the fact Lira knew Mossop came from an orphanage and was without parents and proper home to keep water out, thus insisted on assigning a guest room for him to ensure his well being. Alaire was for the most part like a normal young lad with exception of not being especially eager to play with his other wealthy classmates during breaks. At home he played with toys, read exciting books about heroes and villains, and enjoyed fencing with Mossop as using wooden toy swords and shields. The few times he went outside and experienced nature was mostly just during camping trips with Mossop, from those he became quiet an experienced survivalist, but sadly didn't make him less afraid of giant wasps and spiders. </spoiler>


The Calamity.<spoiler>Before the Calamity Alaire was pretty sheltered of the things that where to come, as he never heard a word of it besides noticing the moon slowly creep closer for each night he look out at the night sky from his bedroom window. It wasn't until Mossop informed him what to do in case of “Airship bombing raids or related events”, and the fact his parents was home and had “taken a few weeks of vacation” he began fear what is going on outside Ul'dah's great walls.

When the Calamity hit, Mossop and the whole Szynskii family had relocated to the safety of the Ul'dah bomb shelter together with the other wealthy families and royalties, waiting the storm out. </spoiler>


The Aftermath.<spoiler>After unknown days had passed, the situation was deemed to been stable enough for those inside to leave the safety of their shelter. It was obvious the city had taken quite a beating, as windows where shattered, furniture had fallen over, and where the grand red carpets once where was nothing but long dark spots on the stone floor. Gladiators where guarding the staircases to the lower area of central Ul'dah, and people who walk past them where doing it on their own risk, as their security could not be ensured. Alaire spent the following months mostly at home, as his parents where talking on their link shells to call their subordinates, guards, and other work related things to protect what is left of their business. During this time Mossop filled Alaire in on what exactly what had happened, and what was going on outside, as there was no real reason to fear he would panic now when the worst is over. This all came a bit of a shock to Alaire, as he never imagined things where that bad outside his sheltered little world, and the fact that most of the rest of the world was practically in runs.

As time passed, and the world began to heal its wounds, but Alaire felt bad for those less fortunate than him and desired to do something something for the world for once. He had always been wondering what to do with his life, as he was not fit as a businessman, nor goldsmith. He knew deep down he could not be under the safety of his parents arms and fortune forever, and that he would have to stretch his wings and leave the nest one day, like a proper man. Fueled by the heroic stories he read throughout his youth about heroes saving the day and desire to contribute to the betterment in the world surrounding him. Alaire approached Mossop for advices, considering he lived without safety net for most his life, thus would know the true answer how to truly help the world and the normal people inhabiting it. Mossop was hesitant towards fueling his masters fire with his tong of reality, but felt a deep respect for what his master wished to accomplish, thus gave in. Alaire learned that even if the world revolve around money, you can't always buy things to peace. A lot of rich folks think donating to a worthy cause will somehow resolve things quickly, but they forget most of the money donated will never see those in needs hands, as the costs for paying all involve eats up quite a large sum of the money. Much like with business, you must get close and personal for the best effect, mere desire to do something is not enough, you have to show those involved you are serious and set in your way, and will not take a “No” for an answer. With a sense of passion burning in his hear, Alaire knew what to do. He rushed down the stairways, and stormed into the Gladiators guild, kindly stated to the mildly confused receptionist that he wanted to join the gladiator guild. First Sword Mylla thinking it was a sort of joke, refused to take Alaire seriously. But as he insisted she decided to play along with this charade, stating being a gladiator is no easy task, and that one must have the strength to live by the sword, and if he accepts he will have to live like like a true warrior, ready to live and die to protect those in need. To her surprise, he accepted it without a slightest bit of hesitation. After a lot of arguments between him and his parents, and many months of hard training, he joined the ranks of the Ul'dah guard force, earning the nickname “Pretty Boy”, for his his distinctive, well combed blonde hair.</spoiler>


The Fate.<spoiler>During a routine night patrol down the streets of Ul'dah, after hearing a silent cry for help down an alleyway, fearing a life might be at risk, he rushed down it without a second thought, and didn't realize his mistake until he noticed he was surrounded. A large group of thugs who had been hired to leave a message to his family, and sought to do so with a bloodshed. Outnumbered and cornered, his only option where to fight for his life. The gladiator fought bravely as the sound of clashing metal faintly echoed down the empty streets on this otherwise beautiful night. Things began looking dim for the lone gladiator, as his strength began to wither and he became unable to parry blows. One could say his fate was sealed, but not in the way one come to expect. With a draft of wind blowing through the alleyway, the thugs began falling over one after another like golden saucer domino pieces. Panic broke out among the group as they struggled to figure out who was interfering with this business, as a small figure appeared in the middle of them, and as swiftly as the shadow appeared, it disappeared, continuing taking the lives of the bloodthirsty thugs. Ceasing the opportunity, Alaire grip tightly onto his sword as his life rest inside it, and use the last of his strength to continue keeping pressure on the bandits, cutting them down like rye grass on a harvest night. Like a musical of meat and metal, the song of death played out in choir.

Once the orchestra of eternal sleep finally came to an end and the bandits all lay dead, the shadow that helped him was illuminated by the moonlight, revealing itself to the exhausted gladiator, holding out a hand. With a smile on his sweaty face, Alaire holster his sword, and give her a handshake. Once Alaire lets go, he notice he is holding a blue note with an address and name, and as quick and silent as she came, the lalafell disappears into the shadows. The lone Alaire limps back to the gladiator guild to report about what have happened, knowing this must been Fate. </spoiler>


The Adventure.<spoiler>After the encounter in the alleyway, Alaire purchased an airship trip to Gridania to seek out the person at the Lavender Beds address, hoping to meet the lalafell who granted him more time to walk this world again. As he arrive at the gates, he is surprised to see such a heart warming house, with such beautiful garden. As he is about to knock at the front door, it slowly begins to open, as a female Miqo'te who asked him to come inside, as he had been expected. The young lady humbly request him to have a seat, and that he will meet “the others” soon. As he sit in the large sofa in the corner of the room he takes a good look around his surroundings. The building seem to have been built with a lot of care down to every little nail, and the furniture seem hand crafted by a skilled carpenter, with everything perfect to the dot. Alaire can't help but to feel reminded of home, as suddenly the door opens and a familiar lalafell comes out, after a more proper introduction Alaire got to know his short savior and new friend as Iiro Iro, the ninja and 'FCTITLE' of the free company that goes by the name of “The Zodiacs”. She offered him to join their free company as he apparently had the inner fire to become an adventurer, and that she could help him get connections with some of the “fellas at the Waking Sands to get you in the right direction”. This was an opportunity of a lifetime, a chance to become a true hero, and you can bet he took it. After some paperwork and a short ceremony, Alaire became a permanent member of The Zodiacs, as well as a real certified adventurer, and after many hard assignments and adventures with a variety of classes, he became a Paladin.</spoiler>
