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.


Rumors

Some of these rumors are untrue or are greatly exaggerated. Please feel free to add your own rumors under PC!

◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard)
"He keeps saying he's an axe murderer, but I see no axe..."
"He just won't stop staring at me..."

"Where did that axe come from? He wasn't holding it a moment ago.."
"He looks, but doesn't touch. So odd.."
"Hey! He stole bread from me a while ba--Wait, is it him? 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.
For someone that claims years of Bismarck training, he's not been listed on their rosters.. Ever.
◢ PC Rumors (Rumors from the character's of other players)
"He has a mustache, and everyone knows that mustaches mean you're evil. I keep waiting for his sinister plot to unfold, so that I can be there with a smug 'I told you so.' Well, unless his sinister plot involves blowing up Eorzea. ...Gosh, do you think his sinister plot involves blowing up all of Eorzea?" -Tikka Swift
"Things have changed between us. I hope we can move on from the past and still be friends." - Misha Jinhri
"Anton? There's too much to be said, and not nearly enough time. There are moments I feel a deep sadness for him, because I watched his loyal heart break. Things could have been different... and I know things are hard, but he doesn't run. For that, if nothing else, he will always be my dearest friend." - Kiipa Nulstat
"He's... kind. I-I know he doesn't look it, and he looks more... well, he's intimidating. But under that... he's got a good heart, I think." - Lune Vormold
"Hm, who? OH! That adorable little shite! One o' those Dreamers. Makes a damn fine meal, stuck up for me an' mine, and doesn' much mind m' drinks on his tab! Or, I think he doesn'... Not that ye mention it, no' quite sure he even knows they're there..." - N'herys Kavvah
"Anton!? I-I could go on and on about Anton. He's the best cook there is and he is very nice. He's also quite playful, he can lighten the mood with his sunny attitude...that's my favorite part about him!" - Suna Rokuyari
"Funny guy, whole lot he knows, plenty he can do. Nice to be around, hard to see why anyone would dislike him, but uh. Well, I dunno. Either way, spend some time with him and I think the day will get a bit brighter for it." - Alasarnil Harrison

Relations

Romantic Interest Sexual Interest Platonic Love Good Standing Neutral Standing Trainee Poor Standing


Kiipa Nulstat : The woman who's done so much to help Anton live a fulfilling life, and the one who he always feels the burning need to make proud. She was his sister, not by blood but by choice--And he loved her fiercely, knowing full well that if ever there came a time where a choice had to be made, her life or his, he'd not hesitate to keep her safe until his end.
Aurelia Aerowind : The little lady who kept him sane after he lost his job with the Radical Dreamers, they've since decided that they are in a relationship. It's apparent that it's a new experience for her, and he's committed to taking things slowly to not spook her--And potentially get himself worked over by her company, or even the lady herself, who is a competent combatant. They met in a bar, working together to take down a particularly murderous swordswoman... And were pushed together as a couple recently by one of Aurelia's friends, Mayuri Kotonoha.
Suna Rokuyari : All he'd said was that she shouldn't take drugs from strangers, no matter what they said the drugs could do. The side-effects could be terrifying... And sure enough, they were. The little lizard girl came to visit Anton at the Dreamer estate regularly afterward, eventually signing on as his assistant in chefliness... And from there, his lover. The relationship did not last long, unfortunately, as she felt that he deserved better than she could offer--But they are still great friends, nonetheless.
Attika Nianu : Attika was Anton's star student--Whether that's because she was the only one that stuck around, or because she actually does a good job controlling herself, who knows. She has since traveled to Ishgard and back, occasionally studying with Anton on further combat techniques.
Inelaa Locte : At first, she was just the target of his retrieval mission into the Shroud. As he started adding things up, though, it became more and more clear.. Inelaa was Kiipa's daughter. Being that Kiipa had adopted Anton as her brother, that made Inelaa his niece.. And he hasn't taken a single moment extra to start showering her in gifts, ranging from giant stuffed animals to clothing and a book on combat arts--Specifically, around archery. The teenager has done a ton for his self-esteem, and has on her own proven that she's already enough of a woman to handle a crowd of horny people at a poetry slam! She's even recently surprised him with her skill at entertaining, performing a monster-class spooky song to a large crowd of onlookers with ease.
Sumari Polaali : She was, and still is, his boss. For a while, they had a romantic thing going on, until she couldn't take it anymore and.. Basically bailed out of it. He wanted to keep things going, but she couldn't believe that Anton would ever love anyone aside from Kiipa, and so couldn't handle the relationship. He gave her time, and tried again months later, but though she was momentarily receptive, it was not to be.
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 many babies.
Katja Hoax : Once upon a time, they fucked like bunnies over a contract deal. That broke, as did their relationship afterward--One that Anton tried hard to mend after he realized his errors. He failed in that endeavour, his own mind messing him up time and time again... She has since found herself in a relationship with a dragoon from Ishgard, who he has great respect for.
Gen Quickpaw : Gen was one of Anton's favorite people to have around. He respected the man, even with as much shit as they threw at each other--He's now Kiipa's side-man, though it's more seeming like she's just been absorbed into Gen's family all in all. Gen is, for all intents and purposes a brother-in-law of sorts, being Kiipa's lover... But lately he's taken to avoiding the man, not wanting to cause any more problems with the one who fired him.
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. On top of all that, he now works with the crazy woman as his side job, hunting down exotic beasties for parts--And in turn, he hires her for jobs regarding more magical skill.
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. Or.. They were, anyway. After a long stretch of nothing but disrespect, he's not sure what to do with her anymore.
Emmette Stringers : At one point, he worked for her. When she cut him loose with a lie loaded with bullshit, his respect for her went out the window--Along with his liking of her company, the Obsidian Coterie.
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.
Jeros Redd : Jeros. Technically? Jeros was his superior in terms of both free and grand company. Anton worked with the Maelstrom--So did Jeros, only for much longer. Same, too, with the Dreamers. Nonetheless, Jeros is helping to get the big guy back into fighting shape, after a nasty run-in with a particularly devastating voidsent. Indeed, they very much teach each other. Recently, he's been helping the man put together his past, and helping him unfold his future as a trainee armorer.
Lune Vormold : Proper trainee! She came to him asking to be trained in weapons and bodyguard-work at the behest of her master. Anton simply had to oblige, as she seemed so determined--And still does. She's second to Attika in favor, as far as his students have been.
