Aerius Destroven
|
WIP, man.  "Everyone's got a secret. You wouldn't like mine." Background "It's not an interesting story. You can go read a book for one of those." Born an only child in the year 1554 to a middle-class Ul'dahn family, Aerius lived a pleasant, if not dull, childhood. His parents may have struggled here and there to support themselves and their beloved son, but they managed given what they had. Their home was nothing spectacular, especially in the seedy trade capital of Eorzea, and Aerius only recalls being robbed a handful of times. He was envious of some of his more wealthy friends, but he was content with what he had. He likes to think his attitude as a child helped him to appreciate the little things in life. He spent the majority of his time growing up living in his imagination, fantasizing about amazing, faraway lands and the exciting prospect of danger. The thought of leading an epic life was his only aspiration, even if it simultaneously terrified his mother and father. He knew one day he'd conquer those distant mountains and overcome any challenge that came his way. He would become a hero. This is what he will tell you. Personality "I'm excited. Are you excited? I'm excited." Aerius is not the kind of guy you meet often in Eorzea. Where some might be calm, cool, and well-mannered, he is unpredictable, cocky, and sarcastic. He doesn't take many things seriously, he deeply enjoys pushing people's buttons, and he can't stand staying in one place for too long. He's optimistic, capricious, free-willed, and will gladly opt to try his hand at just about anything that could potentially liven up his day. Some people might call him... interesting; others would write him off as a dick. Whatever your opinion of him, it won't change who he is. He's here to make the most out of everything he can. And you can't stop him.
Weapon of Choice "If there's anything I'm good at, it's hitting stuff." For someone who so often finds himself on the business end of a blade, Aerius isn't as much of a fighter as he claims to be. He knows his way around hand-to-hand combat, at least enough to trounce your common beast, but when one considers how little he practices of other forms of combat, it's clear he isn't the strongest or the most skilled. Rather, he can be quickly and easily bested by the right opponent, beaten and broken with little resistance. But this isn't something he's shy about. While he may be incredibly prone to getting his ass handed to him, he's not the type to give up easily. His willpower is easily his finest trait, and no matter what pulls him down, he'll always find a way to get back up. More than anything, this is what he takes pride in.
