Character

General

Ander "Cinder" 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.

Behaviour

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 friendly, loyal, kind, and dutiful.

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. It is how he has earned himself the nickname of "Cinder." When Cinder emerges, there is no telling what kind of destruction will ensue. So far, it has only gotten him in little trouble.

Combat

As previously stated, Ander is proficient with 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.

Relationships

♥ Romantic Interest    ♥ Sexual Desire    ♥ Platonic Love     ● Good Standing    ● Neutral Standing    ● Poor Standing

Friends & Acquaintances ♥● Syrress Detilderan - 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. ♥● Keaira Twinning - 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. ♥● Magiere (Mags) - Chocobo - Mags is Ander's trusted horsebird. He loves the creature to bits and can usually be found tending to her in some way. She was given to him a few moons after he joined the Twin Adders, and they have been inseperable ever since. The only time Ander has been heard singing is when he is alone with Mags. ♥● Toka - Red Panda - Toka is a small red panda that Ander mistook as a baby fox upon finding him skittering about the Eastern Shroud near an Imperial scouting camp. They became fast friends (mainly because Ander usually keeps copious amounts of snacks on his person...) and over the past cycle, Toka usually doesn't leave Ander's side. He is a friendly yet curious little troublemaker.

Enemies, Rivals & Others ♥● Lewin Brookstone (Father) - 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. ♥● Roysia Brookstone (Mother) - 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. ♥● Penelope Brookstone (Sister) - 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 (Brother) - 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 (Sister) - 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.
