PAGE IS MASSIVELY WIP!

[edit] Basic Information Combat History Relationships Rumors Visuals RP Hooks OOC Notes  Ander Brookstone “How does one tell the line between a dream and reality?” Gender Male. Race Elezen. Clan Duskwight. Citizenship Gridania. Age Unknown. Roughly late 20’s. Occupation Sergeant 2nd class, Twin Adder. Orientation Unknown. Alignment Varies. Guardian Nophica, the Matron. GENERAL INFORMATION Ander Brookstone, is a young Serpent Sergeant Second Class within the Twin Adders, and a knowledgeable battlemage. Though not one for books or too much study in the subject of magicks, the elezen has a keen understanding of his own aether, and how to utilize the elements to create devastating power. He has had the ability to control the elements fire, ice, and lightning ever since he can remember. APPEARANCE The Duskwight is very tall, standing 6 fulm 9 ilms from the ground. His physique is typically elezen, though he is quite muscular. He weighs roughly 210 ponze. Ander has sea green eyes that stand out against crimson red hair, about shoulder length. He usually keeps it tied back and out of the way in a bun or loose ponytail. Freckles dot his cheeks, as well as scars. One quite noticeable scar crosses his face, and another is on his lower right jaw. Various other battle scars appear all over his body from his duties, but the elezen mostly keeps his form covered with his uniform or other clothing. His style ranges anywhere from leathers to robes, plain and ornate alike. However, the man does not concern himself with fashions of the times too much, and mainly just picks what he likes. PERSONALITY Kind. Loyal. Unpredictable. Ander is a fairly easygoing man, and very approachable. He is likable amongst his men and has a good reputation within the city-state of Gridania. His heritage as a Duskwight has rarely interfered with his life, and if it does, he is quick to turn the other cheek. Ander is an all-around do-gooder, friendly elezen. He does, however, have an odd streak that only few of his men within the Twin Adders have seen and even fewer of his friends and family. It is as if something comes over him all at once, an anger and temper that shoves itself into the limelight. When this ‘evil’ side emerges, there is no telling what kind of destruction will ensue. LIKES LIKE. Animals LIKE. Eorzean History LIKE. Good food (sweets, especially!) LIKE. Forests DISLIKES DISLIKE. Loud noises DISLIKE. Family insults DISLIKE. Torture DISLIKE. Corruption STRENGTHS STRENGTH. Extensive and masterful control of his own aether and Black Magicks. STRENGTH. Animal handling and care. STRENGTH. Skillful with using a quarterstaff. STRENGTH. Patience, and seeing the good in others. WEAKNESSES WEAKNESS. Being around strong aetheric sources or people can trigger his all-encompassing blackouts, and therefore he loses control. WEAKNESS. Very naive to the realm and complex circumstances. WEAKNESS. Has trouble seeing multiple options for what he should do in various predicaments--tends to choose self-sacrificing over inconveniencing others. WEAKNESS. Low self-image and self esteem. Doesn’t feel he belongs anywhere, despite knowing he is loved by his family. CURRENT INVENTORY This is a list of the items that Ander currently is keeping on his person.

Voice Claim: [WWW.URL.COM Link Text]. COMBAT & WEAPONRY As previously stated, Ander is proficient with Black Magicks/Thaumaturgy. His aether is vast and practiced, even before his family pushed for him to study at the Ossuary. He was only there for a short time, having learnt all that they could offer about the magick itself and learning to control it. He held minimal interest in the more priestly duties of the Magisters and acolytes in preparing the dead, and instead would rather use his gifts to focus on protecting the living. Though Ander's magickal abilities in thaumaturgy are very close to master level, he is absolutely unable to perform even the most basic conjury or arcanum spells. His aether turns on itself, hurting him in the process. It is for this reason that he does not attempt them in any form. In addition to thaumaturgy, Ander is very well adapted to using the Quarter Staff. He is often seen using his magicks staff as a pole for melee foes.

Details about the fight. BACKSTORY If one asked this question to Ander himself, he would have very little to tell you. In truth, the man has no idea who he really is or where he came from. All he knows is that he woke up naked within the Twelveswood, stumbling aimlessly toward no one and nothing. The elezen had no name, no memory, only a seething migraine headache. He remembers very little from that sun. Had it not been for ‘’Roysia Brookstone’’, the woman he would call his mother later, he would have likely fallen ill and died of chill. The Brookstones, a fairly well-to-do midlander family, took in the wayward elezen after learning that he was basically a grown child. They gave him the name ‘Ander’ and included him in everything from there on. It is due to their act of kindness that the elezen has made a reasonably successful name for himself within the city of Gridania. Ander takes great pride in his family, and would do anything to repay the massive debt he owes them for saving his life. He stays with them, loyal, and helped them through sickness, the Calamity, and rebuilding after the fact. Not long after the elezen found a stable life in the city, his world shifted as his expertise with magicks began showing itself randomly. After a few alarming occurrences, the Brookstones encouraged Ander to travel to Ul’dah and study within the Ossuary to hone his obvious skills in Thaumaturgy. This he did, but only with reluctance. Life in Ul’dah was not something Ander wished for himself, and he found the other potential mages to be ruthless, jealous, and cold-hearted. Unwilling to continue his training under the Coco-brothers, Ander returned home to Gridania, and studied on his own. Though the time in Ul’dah was brief, only just a cycle, he did learn the names of the spells he obviously knew, and how to cast them at will. This, for him, was life-altering. After honing his craft, Ander enlisted to serve as a Twin Adder. He was not a mender, a writer, an adventurer, nor a businessman like the rest of his family--he knew he had to choose a path for himself. In this, he chose the life of a Battlemage, and donned the title of soldier. Through battles he earned experience, gained more control, but not without a price. His body shows the struggles of his past, with scars on his face, arms, and torso. RECENT HISTORY Recently, Ander has been reassigned due to his major problem of blackouts. During these blackouts, he losing control and becomes as if he was another person entirely, full of rage, power, and wrath. The Adders are unsure what to do with a good soldier with bad problems, so they sent him away to Coerthas as a way to deal with him temporarily. Prior to this, he gained the attention of some of the members of the 81st Foreign Levy, and has named himself as their ally. A few have agreed to assist him in the troublesome personal matters, and for that he is very grateful. One of them he has grown quite fond of, and has even forgotten some of his frustration with the Adders due to her kind and welcome visits. For now, Ander is stationed at Whitebrim, Coerthas Central Highlands, and assists with making sure supplies and travelers make it safely from the southern roads and trade routes. RELATIONSHIPS RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND ♥ Romantic Attraction – ♥ Physical Attraction – ♥ Platonic Love – $ Business – ❖ Deceased – ✔ Positive – ✖ Negative – ● Neutral – 🔃 Unsure – 🔒 Trust FAMILY These are mostly backstory-related relationships. LIST OF FAMILY MEMBERS Roysia Brookstone, mother. ( ✔ ) Ander’s Thoughts: "I owe her so much..." A shrewd businesswoman and accomplished writer, Roysia is a perfect match for her husband Lewin. She and Ander are close, and she is often baking him food and other treats to keep his belly happy. Lewin Brookstone, father. ( ✔ ) Ander's Thoughts: "Though friendly, he keeps himself distant from us. I do love him all the same." A well respected leather supplier in Gridania, Lewin is a midlander who knows how to talk the talk. He is outgoing, likable, and knows everyone. His ability to remember names and faces is uncanny, and it is for this reason that the Brookstone business is very much alive and well after several generations. Ander's relationship with his father is fairly good, even if they do not share many hobbies. Penelope Brookstone, sibling. ( ● ) Ander’s Thoughts: ”I would not wish to be on the other side of her anger.” Penny is a harsh midlander woman and puts up with no goatshite. She has left Gridania to make her way as an adventurer in Eorzea. She and Ander were never too close, as she was already several years ahead of him. However, she does acknowledge him as a sibling, despite him being adopted late in her life as an elder sister. Farrimond Brookstone, sibling. ( ✔ ) Ander’s Thoughts: ”He will make a find husband, I believe, for that seems to be his ultimate goal?” Farrimond is much like his father, and takes after him in many behaviour respects. He and Ander get along very well as they are only roughly two cycles apart, and Farrimond is very supportive of Ander's work within the Twin Adders. The lad is no fighter, however, but he is an amateur mender at best. He is keen to take over his father's leather business one day. Lina Brookstone, sibling. ( ♥ ) Ander’s Thoughts: ”She is my treasure, a light in dark corners.” Lina and Ander are the closest of all of his siblings. She is several years younger than him, but possesses a wisdom of people thrice her age. Lina is a Hearer and already an accomplished Conjurer within the Guild in Gridania. Though her dreams for herself are lofty, it is her pure views of the world that inspire Ander whenever he speaks to her. NON-FAMILY Listed here are the non-family characters, both PC and NPC, that Ander has interacted with enough or in such a way for him to form a real opinion about them. Please don't take personal offense if your character isn't listed here, or how the interaction or relationship is described. It isn't that I dislike your character or our RP. I just tend to only add these as necessary for those who make a real impact on Ander, and descriptions are purely based upon in character experiences and opinions! Last Update... DATE. * An asterisks denotes that Ander doesn't know the individual's true name. LIST OF NON-FAMILY RELATIONS Syrress Detilderan, short descriptor. ( ✔ ♥ 🔒 ♥ ) Ander’s Thoughts: "Ah, my lady..." Their first meeting was not during the best of circumstances, as Ander mucked things up all over the place! However, Syrress has proven to be a kind person and a flowing font of information. Ander appreciates her company and wisdom very much. Recently, their relationship has developed from good friends to...something else. Ander himself is unsure of what he is doing or how Syrress feels about him, truly. He considers her a beautiful mystery, but wouldn’t trade her words and presence for anything. Keaira Twinning, nickname or alias. ( ✔ 🔒 $ ♥ ) Ander’s Thoughts: "Her words are bold, but her disposition is nothing but kindness." Ander met Twinning beneath the boughs of the Guardian Tree. He admires her position and her blunt attitude. Seeing her again would not be unwelcome. Onuma Ahntifi, nickname or alias. ( ✔ $ ) Ander’s Thoughts: "Truly, she possesses a warrior’s spirit." Ander has only met Onuma a few times, but he has always appreciated her kind and welcoming attitude towards him. He feels at ease with her, and enjoys their conversations.
