| − | ==Appearance==
| |
| − | Standing six foot two, extremely tall for his race, Aether's skin is obviously tanned from hours spent in the sun but is also curiously ashen; a callback to his heritage as well as how he has forsaken the ways of his people. His hair is a wild mane of dark blue, with reddish streaks flowing through it. His torso is covered in a network of tattoos, which ignite with mystic light when he casts magic. His face is, in a word, attractive, yet carries a single hideous mar; a burn, a brand, in the shape of a butterfly, carved into his very flesh. His mischievous eyes are a burning gold, always watching your every move...

| − | ==History==
| |
| − | Born as "Tagg A'Rung" of a pair of Garlean sympathizers in hiding near a Xaela clan in the Far East, Aether was groomed to be special. When he came of age, he was inducted into the garrison of a local Garlean outpost due to his mystical affinity. He discovered he could change his face with magic; appearing as anyone he wished. Groomed as a skilled Thaumaturge as well as trained in swordsmanship and subterfuge, Aether was deployed against rebel Doman cells, tasked with infiltrating their ranks and assassinating key leaders of the resistance.

| |
| − | When several refugee ships arrived in Eorzea, Aether was among them, disguised as a refugee himself. His particular target went to the Twelveswood, where he continued stalking his prey... until he made a grave error attempting to contact a more local Garlean Outpost. He was seen by his own kind, the refugees, and they fell upon him, their leader carving a deep butterfly scar into his cheek and throwing him into Haukke Manor as punishment, intending the Voidsent inside to devour him.

| − | Aether, however, did not die. Tormented, bled, and driven to madness, Aether's mind all but snapped, his memory hidden in the depths of his mind and his brains reduced to almost animalistic tendencies. His escape found himself hacking his way through voidsent, bathing in their blood, their very essence seeping into him; eventually, in later months, this would manifest as a minor link with a voidsent, and certain knowledge seeping into his mind allowing him access to void-spellwork. Eventually found by a pair of Lalafel brothers, Aether began his new life, taking "Aether Landon" as a false name. His first home was among an Au Ra tribe; it was only a shortlived home, but it holds a fond place in his heart. His second home came in the form of a criminal guild; after various extenuating circumstances, Aether left them behind, hoping to find his own path free of outside influence. Now he gathers allies, friends, and foes alike under his banner.

| − | ==Personality==
| |
| − | Aether is a very complicated man when it comes to his personality; depending on who you are to him, he can be kind, understanding, encouraging, and even shy; on the other hand, he could be cruel, rude, vulgar, offensive, disrespectful, cold, and even violent. Part of this lies from the extreme emotional and mental stress his ordeal in Haukke Manor laid on him; part of it could do with the life before his accident. However, his kindness is most certainly inspired by his time after the accident.

| |
| − | ==Affiliations and Known Associates==
| |
| − | *Matt Grihm - a 19 year old Lalafel who helped nurse Aether back to health after his accident. Aether has somewhat 'imprinted' on him, labeling him as his brother, although deep down he knows this is not true. He would do almost anything for him, and would readily give up his life to save him if need be.
| |
| − | *Miles Grihm - a 19 year old Lalafel who helped nurse Aether back to health after his accident. Aether has somewhat 'imprinted' on him, labeling him as his brother, although deep down he knows this is not true. He would do almost anything for him, and would readily give up his life to save him if need be.
| |
| − | *Naraya - an Au Ra huntress belonging to the tribe of Nuur Khuudas. Aether once tried to join a tribe of wayward Au Ra who claimed he could prove himself to them. Naraya was one of his staunchest supporters, and is the only one of them he readily opened up to about his mindbreak. He feels very strongly for her, and even though he left the tribe on bad terms in the end he still maintains contact with her.
| |
| − | *Kyo Kuza - an Au Ra warrior belonging to the tribe of Nuur Khuudas. Aether once tried to join his tribe, but ultimately left because of a disagreement with another member. This disagreement, ironically, stemmed from Aether's defense of Kyo in an argument, and when he was unwilling to back down to a female Au Ra who expected him to be submissive towards her.
| |
| − | *Kaine - an Au Ra belonging to the tribe Nuur Khuudas. Aether met him after the man molested his ears.
| |
| − | *Yana Hart - A plucky and outgoing chocobo farmer, pure of heart and spunky of temperament, holding a dear place in the black mage's heart.
