And lo, we have the wild Anton, back from his self-searching, soul-finding adventure into the wilds of Eorzea. He's learned his way around an axe quite well, and they seem to be his favorite tool of mass destruction, instruction, or corruption. He ran to escape a life of debt, to come back for a world of fabulous new friends, potential lovers, and enemies alike! ...Now he just needs a place to live.

Having found that, now he's simply just trying to find his better half. Or himself. Whichever comes first.

Appearance & Personality

Commonly seen wearing the lightly armored clothing that he so adores. So chosen because of his particular fighting style, he only ever gets into heavier armor when he absolutely has to. The wilds taught him one thing: To survive, you have to keep moving. With this in mind, he wears armored gauntlets and boots, with deceptively thick armor plating partially covering his leggings and torso. He generally, also, doesn't wear a helmet.

Loyal to a fault, Anton tends to stick near where his friends are at. When he can't find them, not only does he get a little anxious, he tends to retreat into his mind, spacing out until absolutely necessary. This made it a bit hard for him when he first made his appearance back with 'humanity'--He wasn't used to the world anymore, only to the way of the wilds. Truly, he did meet the occasional traveler out there, but it wasn't enough to keep him from being just a little strange upon his return.

In the months since his return, he's come across a wide variety of people, each making him realize different traits about himself. With some, he's incredibly protective, to the point that he'll even threaten loved ones of the person he's protecting. With others, he's endlessly tricksy, flowing from one lie to the next, but never serious. When it comes to prospective recruits to the Dreamers, he tends to make them a drink, tailored specifically to their style, and pick their brain for a while--All while under the guise of telling them more about the estate and it's occupants.

In everything, he always has an ulterior motive, which tends to be his own survival. He gathers information like a normal person would gather flowers, to bargain with as needed to ensure his place should anything happen.

Wilds

For lack of a better term, Anton was an incredibly unlucky person. His ability at gambling was terrible, and he accrued so much debt that it had come to a head--His life, or his money. Being that he had no money, and he didn't particularly want his life to be over... He left. For fear of getting his friends hurt, he said nothing--They couldn't be used as bargaining chips if they didn't know. Just like that, he was gone. His first destination was to Limsa Lominsa, posing as a gladiator mercenary. He had minimal skill with a sword and shield, but figured he could get away with it readily enough, especially if he wore a helmet all the time to hide his identity. No such luck, and within a month he was out of there after a single bit of information from one of the bar patrons, where he'd been frequenting.

To Costa Del Sol, he ran! They'd been looking for mercs there, right? He could get a job there, easy as that. But no. Not hiring. With that, he fled further inland, right into the wilds. For a while, he stumbled on his own--Barely able to make due. He refused to speak with any traveler, for fear of being found, but eventually it had come to the point that he was on death's doorstep. A roegadyn by the name of 'Mentor' found him, and helped him back to health, teaching him how to survive properly--At this point, he was far enough into the wilds, that it was amazing there was someone else around.

Mentor was a man who liked to learn. In return for any knowledge he'd gleaned from a traveler, he gave something back--Usually another form of knowledge. Anton had very little to teach Mentor, but even his meager sword-and-board skills were something the big man could learn from. As thanks, the roe took his time teaching Anton how to live in the wilds--What was edible, what wasn't. Where he could find help without going back to civilization, and how to handle the basic predators--A point that he was surprised about, though, was that Anton had yet to run into any of the wildlife, though probably due to him being like unto death at the time.

They parted ways, and Anton made his way to one of these sources of non-civilization help. The man he met was all too happy for a visitor, and though he never gave a name, taught Anton what is now his most valuable skill: How to use an axe.

Present

Anton is now a proud member of the Radical Dreamers, after being found by the single friend who remembered him: Tikka Swift. A name that assuredly makes not a lick of sense to him, but he doesn't particularly care--He has friends here. He has family here. He works as a melee instructor and bartender for the most part, occasionally playing nursemaid to those with only superficial wounds when the true medical heroes are busy. He's regularly at odds with the supposed leader of the group, as he thinks of it, due to the leader's passive nature of running things, with his subordinates doing the majority of the work--Anton dislikes this attitude, but deals with it in stride. One minor facet that he enjoys, though not an official position, is his job of wrangling the new folks in for a drink and an introduction. Between tending bar, treating wounds, and teaching, he's a regular in most walks of the estate life.

Shortly after returning from the wilds, he managed to gather himself up a girlfriend. This, unfortunately, didn't last nearly as long as anyone was hoping--Even bystanders had high hopes for the two, Misha Jinhri and Anton, but after only a month, Misha left on a quest of soul-searching, to find herself. When she came back, things had changed... And the two, while remaining pleasant friends, were no longer a couple as a result of the findings of that journey, and the time apart.

He looks so well kept.." ◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ Those with a criminal history may know of his prior debt. ■ Those who have met Mentor, or know of the tribals he visited, may see something similar in Anton. ■ He's paying way too close attention to be just a random barkeep... ◢ PC Rumors (Rumors from the character's of other players) ■ "He has a mustache, and everyone knows that mustaches mean you're evil.

Relations ♥ Romantic Interest ♥ Sexual Interest ♥ Platonic Love ● Good Standing ● Neutral Standing ▼ Trainee ● Poor Standing ♥♥♥ Kiipa Nulstat : Anton.. Quite honestly, has no idea what to do with this woman. When they met, her first impulse was to steal his chair out from under him, an attempt that failed hilariously. There was even a touching challenge, to which Anton ponied up to, leaving the bar only to return and slap the boisterous woman full on the rear. That was the start of their friendship--The current? They regularly sleep together, though without any sexual notions--Plenty of tension at other times, but never in bed. Bed is, most often, for sleep. He takes care of her injuries as needed, the things she tends to lapse on as a doctor, caring for everyone else but herself. He values her over pretty much anyone else, going out of his way to make sure she's taken care of when her boyfriend doesn't do it for her. ♥ Misha Jinhri : Misha, Misha, Misha. They met as a result of Tikka jumping off a balcony and Anton following her, but they hit it off easily. And, with Leif dodging out of getting a drink with the three of them, they realized that they clicked fairly well... So, they went on a date. And then another one. And decided that, regardless of how fast they were or weren't going, they'd try their hand at being a couple. It didn't work out, but the two are still friends. ♥ Tikka Swift : Tikka. His first 'friend' that he'd found upon leaving the wilds. He knew her from beforehand, and felt incredibly bad for leaving her to her own devices like he did. She'd gone through so much while he was gone, he was determined to try and make it up to her. He'd thought to try and start a relationship with her, but after learning all that he has... He's just not sure if he can. Especially since she seems so young. Probably for the best. He's since realized that she'd not been as clear with her age, and was in fact quite older--And now has no idea at all what to think, aside from the fact that she's mostly machine and now has two babies. ♥ Leif Steele : Good man. Was found one day by Anton just staring at him, with his buddy, Sebastian. Really creeped him out. Since then, Leif's done a great job of making sure Anton's not done anything stupid. In another life, you know, if Anton liked men that way--There'd probably be something there. If Anton had a male best friend, it was this guy. Who knows, maybe some day he'll dabble in the manlier side of things. ● Tallera Weaver : Crazy voodoo sorceress. Anton ran across her one day, and since then, every time they meet up, somethin' crazy happens--Or they count the whores inside the Quicksand. One or the other. She seems fair convinced that she's a zombie, but he's not convinced--He does know, however, that she /really/ likes watching the stars. Of course, this became quite a bit more clear when he realized that the woman was, in fact, an Ishgardian Astrologian--A star-mancer-mage-wizard. He's got quite a bit of respect for the girl, and what she's been able to pull off, lately. ● N'naavi Rorsch : A lady he'd met in the Quicksand, and talked to briefly. Multiple times, briefly--Short conversations, and done. An amicable time to be had for all? ● Gen Quickpaw : Gen. The boss. The lecherous, perverted, womanizing boss. The person who'd helped corrupt the friend he'd left behind, impregnating the poor teenager and letting her get kidnapped... No, Anton wasn't that fond of Gen. At least, he hadn't been. After a long talk with Leif and Misha, he'd realized: The past is the past, and Tikka certainly liked Gen, so he should too. So.. He does. Mostly. ● Felix Cyprus : One of the first people he met in the Dreamers. A stoic guardsman, now turned.. Stoic fistfighter? He wasn't sure what to make of the tall, dark, and lovely man at times, but he did try to call the man a friend. ▼ Attika Nianu : Anton's first newbie. She's been 100% hardcore in her efforts to become as good of an axe-hero as Anton is, doing every exercise, every challenge that he offers unto her to improve her skills. While definitely not the best fighter he's seen, she's certainly made a good climb towards it, and he can respect that quite a bit. ▼ Jainus Darkblade : Newbie. Asked to be trained in the art of axe-murdering. Has yet to show up for class. Hm... ▼ Kakana Kana : Axe-slinging berserker turned greatsword-artist. He's currently training her in discipline, to try and slow the rampage potential that she's capable of.
