Long since gone are the days where Anton lived off the land, the jungles. Gone are the days where Anton worked happily with family and friends of the Radical Dreamers free company, renamed Might and Magitek--He forges a new path, by axe and by pan, grasping the hand of his partner, with her free company of Jutat De.
Only time will tell if things will go as happily as he wants them to.

Appearance & Personality
- More often than not, he's sporting a simple pair of black slacks or slops, and a blue or red shirt--When suited up in armor, he's got an Allagan-replica coat, complete with a face-concealing mask and arm/legguards... The outfit seems to protect his core, but leaving limbs plenty mobile for quick movements and long strides. Even in casual clothing, he always seem to have a weapon of some sort on him, be it one of his knives, his pan, or the big Parashu-model axe he keeps in top form. He always has several pouches and a flask attached to his belt.
- Green eyes, black hair, and a ton of scars all over his tanned skin make up the rest of his appearance. Each scar bears it's own significance, and he'll likely tell the story if asked. His hair changes color based on the season, or on a whim--He's been having way too much fun with dyes... Depending on the day, he either freely flaunts his body, his scars, or he hides them completely, to the point that he even wears a mask over his face so even those scars are unknown.
- Personality-wise, Anton has been much happier of late. Developments of two months ago left him homeless and nigh on jobless, but friends picked him back up and set him straight. He's back to cooking on a daily basis, and humming happily as he does so, feeling that his talents aren't being taken for granted this time around, and that he is legitimately valued, not a replaceable part of a whole.
In all, this new life has left him so much less stressed out on a daily basis, and free to pursue his dream of becoming a tavern owner in his own right, rather than a simple chef.
Biography
Childhood
- Most unknown at present. Recent information suggests that his father was an Ala Mhigan refugee, his mother an Ul'dahn prostitute. Father disappeared, unknown causes--Assumed dead? Mother resorted to an endless routine of work to make ends meet.
Teenage
- Most unknown at present. Mother became sick, likely due to work habits. Anton turned to thievery to help make money, try to pay off medicine. Was able to pay off said medicine, but incurred massive debt in doing so. Medicine was placebo--Mother died anyway. Upon attempting retaliation for fake medicine, his childhood girlfriend was forced to pay the price for his transgressions: She died, as a lesson to him.
Wilds
- For lack of a better term, Anton was an incredibly unlucky person. His ability at gambling was terrible, and instead of getting out of debt, he accrued so much more 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. After a time, he learned he had quite a propensity for swinging about an axe, and as a pastime, he studied the cooks in the Bismarck. After a while, he was easily able to mimic them, and even understand why they did what they did. After a good while, though, his past caught up with him again--Even with his hair grown out, face grown older, and demeanor changed. He'd learned a different way of life, changed himself around amazingly, but still was not to be at rest.
- To Costa, 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 'Inquisitive 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 really use an axe.
Recent Past
- Anton became 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 didn't particularly care--He had friends there. He had family there. He worked as a melee instructor and chef for the most part, occasionally playing nursemaid to those with only superficial wounds when the true medical heroes, such as his sister, Kiipa Nulstat, were busy. He regularly clashed with Gen Quickpaw, the leader of the company.. Generally over matters of simple nature, yet unable to come to a simple conclusion. One minor facet that he enjoyed, though not an official position, is his job of wrangling the new folks in for a drink and an introduction. Between cooking and tending bar, treating wounds, and teaching, he was 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. His love-life has remained relatively shattered from then on, progressing onto a helpless puppy love over his best friend, to constant flings with folks from around the company and his side job with the Obsidian Coterie. He thought he'd found something in his boss, Sumari Polaali, but that had turned south when she refused to believe that she could ever come out from under the shadow that Kiipa left.
- He'd tried to mend fences with any number of previous relationships, even trying his damndest to love the smith, Katja Hoax, the person who helped keep him steady after Kiipa abandoned him.. But it was all for naught. His friendships had dwindled to a shadow of what they were, as had his romantic relationships.. His sister barely gave him the time of day, though her daughter, Inelaa Locte seemed to adore him.. In all of this, he managed to find a blooming flower of a girlfriend in Suna Rokuyari, all by telling her to not take drugs from strangers..
- He was distraught when his sister fell ill, and pledged himself to doing anything and everything he could to find a way to free her from the voidsent infesting her body, but in the end, he felt helpless, and relegated himself to instead making sure her family, his nieces and nephews, were well taken care of.
Present
- Having been fired from Radical Dreamers, now known as Might and Magitek, Anton was left in a momentary lurch. He turned to sleeping in dark corners, and hunting in his old stomping grounds in the jungles of La Noscea to keep his mind off things. The only thing keeping him from fully regressing into the wildling he used to be was his attachment to the tiny Au Ra girl, Aurelia Aerowind--His now girlfriend, and partner in crime in all things cake-related. She convinced him to join up with her company, Jutat De, and that is where he remains to date--Though he still has yet to put down roots with them, instead preferring to take up residence in the Mist apartments, across the ward from his sister's home, which he regularly visits to deliver food to her family, and talk to her while she sleeps her endless sleep.
