Character

General

Anthony is the head of the House de Vieri, the chairman of the Vieri Bank and a strong proponent of Ishgard's new republican government. His bank has greatly benefited from the opening of Ishgard's borders and admittance into the Eorzean Alliance. Despite the modest beginnings of his house, he has a keen interest in politics and the development of the new republic, despite his absence of inspiration to hold office. Anthony is charming and young with ambitions to match, planning on taking advantage of the new way of life in order to make things better for him and his blood who follow. Hopefully, the expansion of the Ishgardian bank will help furnish him with the means to attain his goals.

Appearance

Anthony is the epitome of an "Ishgardian noble" in every way. He carries sharp features that are common among his people, with an angular chin and high cheekbones. His skin is fair and without marring, a testament of his upbringing and activities. Quick to smile and laugh, his face is often one of a jovial nature despite his station. His dark brown hair is cropped close to his head - but not too closely, taken care of with the vigilance of one who cared about their features. Such an accusation would not come falsely to the banker-- all six and a half feet of him were finely adorned. Whether in expensive silks or, more commonly, armor, he was dressed to match his station. Trained in classical methods of combat, Anthony is hard-pressed to be found without a longsword gracing his hip. Despite his status he seems clearly comfortable bearing both arms and armor, attesting to an upkeep of both physical and fashionable prowess.

Personality

Anthony is best described as ambitious, carrying within him a fierce drive and staggering amount of dedication to causes. He's charismatic and gregarious, with a legitimate interest in other people that often leads to him being considered friendly. Despite the rarity of both kindness and ambition pairing together, Anthony is often quick to see the best of people, and trust until proven unable to do so. It wasn't the House he was from, nor the bank he represented that left an impression when someone walked away from a meeting with him. It was the raw emotion he contained; the charm and force of personality that made up Lord Anthony Vieri.

Tendencies

Strengths

• Critical Thinking: Anthony considers himself to be quite the adept political mind, making plans for the future and coordinating his business ventures to aid him in his own advancement.
• Wit and Charm: A brilliant political mind is nothing without the charisma, wit and charm to help persuade others to listen to you. Luckily, Anthony has more than enough of these qualities to suffice.
• Interpersonal Skills: He's a well-born, ambitious young man who aims to move up in the world, via any means necessary. In order to do so, he has to be social and make friends with everyone. It helps that he enjoys it, seemingly content no matter what company he finds himself in.

Weaknesses

• Heart of Gold: Anthony is easily taken advantage of for his willingness to go the extra mile to help people. He puts people and their needs ahead of profits and his own desires, more often than not.
• Cold Steel: Despite classical training, Anthony is inexperienced when it comes to the arts of war. Should anyone wish ill upon him, he's especially vulnerable to those quick to draw steel.
• Higher Birth: Even though he is a kind soul, Anthony can be condescending toward those he views as inferior.
