Basic Info

You'll often find A'rho with his twin A'randr Tia. The two are rarely separated and can often be found skulking around Ul'dah or Limsa, or out in the field getting into various forms of trouble or bickering about something they'll forget about the next day.

If you are discussing something deliciously scandalous or opening a can of delicious tuna, you can bet the twins will make a beeline to eavesdrop or bug you for a sandwich.

Appearance & Personality

Appearance:

A'rho is virtually a mirror image of his twin brother A'ran, right down to their mismatched eyes and scars on the opposite cheeks. There are some differences however- A'rho's white hair is shorter, slicked back from his face, though its natural volume is apparent and it has the tendency to fluff up if left unchecked. His physical features are a bit softer as well as he is a bit more sedentary than his twin and has a tendency to eat his weight in cake.

Like his twin, his skin is tan, his hair thick and shockingly white. They share identical tattoos and even coordinated their green highlights because they derive a great deal of enjoyment from matching.

A'rho's prominent wardrobe is light cuirasses or stylish robes in shades of green or purple (though never both at the same time, perish the thought). With his brother's encouragement, A'rho's clothing choices can be skimpy on occasion though he generally lacks the confidence to pull off swaggering about in battle-panties like his twin, and sticks mostly to more modest (if often ostentatiously coloured) garments.

Personality:

“Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back.”

The catboy thing aside, there is no better phrase that describes A'rho. His curiosity and thirst for knowledge is utterly boundless. Years and years of second-hand, outdated and inaccurate texts have left him yearning to hunt down the truths behind legends and learn more of the vast world around him. Every chance he gets to escape the city and explore with his brother, he gladly takes.

A'rho is not a particularly confident person in social situations. He's scatterbrained, and shy around people he doesn't know. When nervous, he has a tendency to ramble. However once he feels comfortable, he can be quite talkative and friendly, if a bit long-winded.

A'rho is generally a decent, honest person, but he is not above lying or being nasty to those who offend him. He takes slights to himself and others around him very personally and he has no trouble calling people out for being rude. His own poor manners (generally his tendency to unhinge his jaw and inhale entire plates of food or letting his gaze linger on some unsuspecting muscular bugger) escape his notice and he'll vehemently deny that he just ate half a cake even if all the crummy evidence is scattered about his face and plate.

Despite his absentmindedness, A'rho is highly intelligent and a very accomplished mage. Largely self-taught, he possesses some degree of skill in each branch of magic and he has only furthered his skills with easy access to the guilds and their archives.

A'rho's aspirations generally involve lazing about on a sunny beach surrounded by shirtless men fanning him and feeding him grapes. However if the whole idle rich thing doesn't pan out, he's considering a career in archeology.
