Basic Info
(I've decided to revamp this page a bit, so it'll be under construction for a while. Any information that may be shown at the time is accurate, though—I'm just figuring out how to present it and how much to present.)
History
Gridanian by birth, he spent his childhood and early teenage years in the Black Shroud, raised by his parents. His father, a conjurer, had him study to follow the same profession, to the boy's dislike. His mother, a former Wood Wailer, taught him all about the outdoors—hunting, herbalism, fishing, and combat.
In his late teens, he left the Conjurer's guild and Gridania, traveling with a young adventurer that was passing through. He learned much, and eventually found himself in La Noscea and Limsa Lominsa, where he spent many years.
In more recent times, he relocated to Ul'dah on his own, seeking new work and a new life for himself, though the change has not been as fruitful as he had anticipated.
Personality
Mostly pleasant! He is friendly to people he meets, and expresses a sense of humor most of the time. Alderique may seem over-confident, if not arrogant, and enjoys attention if it's given. A softer, more insecure side might be revealed as he gets to know someone, depending on the nature of the relationship that develops.
Skills & Abilities
Dagger. A teenager traveling the wilds of the Shroud and La Noscea, he was taught how to wield daggers in combat. Paired with his regular handling of knives as a culinarian, the dagger has become Alderique's preferred weapon. In addition to having a couple for melee combat, he keeps a few smaller daggers for throwing. Bow. As a child, Alderique learned to hunt with a bow, and has begun practicing this skill once again. While he's most comfortable with knives, he believes that a ranged strike is often the best solution. Conjury. While he studied conjury from an early age, he's neglected this school of magic for years. Recently, he has begun to practice it again, feeling the need to reconnect with his roots in it and learn its practical uses. While his healing needs practice, he is more comfortable conjuring wind to aid his physical abilities, and occasionally will make use of spells of other elements. Herbalism. While most of his knowledge revolves around edible vegetation, he likes to learn about the different uses of plants, including as medicine and poison. One of the few things he researches and keeps journals on. Culinary arts. An experienced chef, Alderique cut his teeth in Limsa Lominsa. Currently, he cooks for pleasure, and enjoys opportunities to craft a meal for those he cares about. He especially enjoys cooking for men he's attracted to. Miscellaneous skills. Polearms, chocobo riding, comedy, poetry.
