P E R S O N A L I T Y

L I K E S ■ Honesty -- " I aim to be honest in my actions. I expect others to return this favour. " ■ Determination -- " This world is rough and more and more things threaten our way of life. If we seek to overcome these, it is vital that we do not lose our will to live or fight. " ■ Family -- " None of us would be where we are if it were not for our family, wether related by blood or not. There is always someone who has helped you get to where you are. Make sure to not let them down. " ■ Mercy -- " Often seen as a sign of weakness, mercy is what makes us different from those we fight. If your enemy would not yield you your life, would you truly seek to become the same as them? I understand that mercy is not always applicable and only a fool would believe that. But never seeing it as an option at all would make you an even bigger fool. ■ (Placeholder) -- (Placeholder)

D I S L I K E S ■ Greed -- " Gil and precious gems hold more sway over people than acts of good will. There are far too many people, especially in Ul'dah, who are gladly making a living off of the suffering of others. This must end. " ■ Selfishness -- " If you are out for no one but yourself, you will live and die alone. Is that what you want? " ■ Unforgiveness -- " What is with this growing trend of never seeing the good in people? I keep hearing people say that mistakes of the past can never be made up for. While this is true, previous acts can never be forgiven. But the person comitting the act can be. " ■ (Placeholder) -- (Placeholder)

H A B I T S  &  S K I L L S Quirks/Vices ■ Altruistic -- Arnvidar is altruistic to a fault, always doing everything he can to help people, even those who have wronged him severely. He gives most of his income to the poor, but he will also seek to redeem the ne'er-do-wells of this world. Which has resulted in more than a few scars when this goodwill has been exploited. ■ Fighter -- There is no denying at all that Arnvidar LOVES a good fight! He can sometimes be found at local fight clubs, or dishing out a bit of vigilante justice on the streets of Ul'dah. Arn also has a habit of never declining a challenge once it has been issued. ■ Protective -- While Arnvidar himself holds the opinion of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger " and will rarely provide assistance unless someone asks for it directly (provided the person in question seems to be able to handle it in the first place, of course ), this does not always apply to his family. He is protective of his sisters, bordering on over-protective. Having lost their parents at a young age, Arnvidar has no intention of losing more family than he already has, and would willingly throw himself in front of any and all dangers that threaten Nailah or Ophelia. He also has a bad habit of trying to intimidate any potential suitors the two find. ■ (Placeholder) -- (Placeholder) Abilities/Skills ■ Martial Arts -- Having spent the vast majority of his life trying to master using his own body as a weapon, Arnvidar is an extremely talented hand-to-hand fighter, proficient in a number of fighting styles. ■ Chakra -- Being a monk with years of training and experience, Arnvidar is able to open up a number of Chakra "Gates" in order to increase his own combat capabilities. ■ Inner Workings -- He has over the years gained a complete knowledge on how the bodies of the different races work, memorising every aspect about them. ■ (Placeholder) -- (Placeholder)

■ Spirituality/Religion. Arnvidar is a devout follower of Rhalgr the Destroyer, but has a view that might differ from other followers. He has met many people claiming to seek to use the strength granted by Rhalgr to annihilate all who opposes their teachings. Arn however sees his strength and abilities as a way to make the world a better place, only ever using lethal force when absolutely forced to.

■ Politics. While not an active player when it comes to politics, Arnvidar knows how he wants things to be but he realises that he is no politician so it is best to leave that to those better suited for the task. If someone engages him in a discussion about the topic however, he will be able to talk at lengths.

■ Body: Arnvidar's body is in extremely good shape for a person his age, with very defined musculature even for a Highlander. It would certainly be obvious to anyone who sees him that this man is more than capable to handle himself in many dangerous situations. ■ Skin: His skin is of a lightly tanned hue, with scars being dotten all over his body. ■ Hair: Dark red by nature, Arnvidar's hair is more often than not kept tied up into a number of braids to keep it under control and not get in the way. ■ Eyes: The eyes of this Highlander are of a cold pale blue colour. They often give out a feeling of warmth and friendliness however, offering a sense of security to those around him. Or so he hopes atleast.

■ Clothes: He has been likened to a Chocobo on more than one occation. Arnvidar proudly bears the yellow colours of the monkhood even when not in uniform. When he is dressed as a civilian, he keeps his attire simple and unimpressive as he willingly lives on a minimal budget. ■ Jewelry: Arnvidar only owns a single piece of jewelry, a necklace he was given during his childhood. ■ Distinguishing Features: Other than the vibrant yellow he dress in, his size might be the most defining feature about him. Otherwise he looks just like anyone else, not wanting to stick out in a crowd. ■ Other: (Placeholder)

R U M O R S Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. Please feel free to add your own rumors under the Player Character category! ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ " Arnvidar, you say? Aye, I know him. Quite a lovely chap! He often swings by the market and buys a bunch of food and drink which he then hands out to the poor and homeless. I wish I didn't have to charge him for the stuff he buys. It's a gesture I want to see more in this city. " - Fruit merchant in Ul'dah. ■ " Oh yes, I know him quite well! He often comes by whenever the Pugilists hold a tournament. I even fought him once! I wish I could say that I put on an impressive display, but I didn't land a single hit. Atleast not one that he seemed to register. Tougher than rock, that one. " - Pugilist Guild Member ■ (Placeholder) ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ " Ain't that the guy who frequents those shady taverns at times? Aye, aye, I think it is! Tall guy? Wears yellow as if it was going out of style? I think he works as a bouncer from time to time. I tell ya, there's not any trouble going on when he's on duty. " - Random pedestrian in Ul'dah ■ " Heh...Feckin' idiot that one. Y'know I put a knife to 'is throat once? Told 'im I wanted 'is gil an' everythin' and what does the fecker do? He starts askin' me 'bout me personal life! If I 'ad a family t'feed or somethin'... Well I do. He somehow convinced me t'lower m'knife. Next thing I know I'm holdin' a bag o' gil he gave me before he just walked away like nothin' happened!...Feckin' idiot. Family likes 'im though. " - Mysterious Man in an alley. ■ (Placeholder) ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ " Ala Mhigo's not really accessable anymore, right? Well I heard he's been seen travelling that way, only to return a few suns later with a group of starved looking people following him! Is...Is he going there to get people out? " - Countryside Woman ■ " A mate o' mine caught 'im drunk once an' actually managed t'get some interestin' stuff out o' 'im. Said tha' even when drunk, he can remember t'names an' faces o' all t'people he's killed. Even began rattling some o' them off, but me mate stopped 'im as he didn't want t'risk the lad t'get too sad or angry at t'whole situation. Twelve forfend, a guy 'is size bein' able t'remember all that...Must be quite t'noggin' on 'im...But why does he remember them? There must be a reason. " - Regular at a tavern in Ul'dah ■ (Placeholder) ◢ Player Character Rumors - Feel free to add rumors of your own! ■ Feel free to add your own rumors here! ■ "Blue? I'd trust 'im with my back and my life any sun. I'd also trust 'im to feckin' lecture me later. Still, y'know -- The man finds reedemin' in the unredeemable - even fer someone like me." - Aliandrielle Naveleal ■ "I know mom and dad would've been proud of him. He's done well, even made a name for himself. I couldn't ask for a better brother, and I hope our future will make up for the past we did not share. If you mess with him, I'll burn your world down - That's a promise." - Nailah Quill ■ "It was Arnie's idea for my foster parents to take me and adopt me alone. He didn't seem to mind or care. He was just... happy I was going someplace good for me, I think. But understand: we were only children, then... if that says anything about how selfless and noble he is now, I don't know what will. If, someday, I can be half the person he is, I think I'll have done alright for myself... " - Ophelia Gale

Hidden Feelings/Unknown: This character has one of all the color keys above, but isn't fully aware of it yet. R E L A T I O N S   Nailah Quill (  ♥  ♥ ) - Nai Arnvidar's youngest sister, and part of the leadership of The Kindred. Arnvidar is very proud of Nailah and her achievements, but he has recently noticed that his over-protective side has to work overtime whenever he's around her as she always seem to have atleast one person hitting on her. And in one case even made an attempt at her life. He knows that she is more than capable to handle herself however and tries to not interfere with her private life unless he really needs to. If he succeeds in stopping himself is a whole other story however, but he always has the well-being of Nailah in mind.   Ophelia Gale (  ♥  ♥ ) - Niamh Younger sister of Arn, and Nailah's older sister. They were both placed at the same orphanage in Ul'dah after the fall of Ala Mhigo but were adopted into different families. Despite the distance between them, they kept in contact by way of written mail. She has been through more traumatic moments than any person should have to endure, and Arn will therefore do anything in his power to keep her safe and sound.   Aliandrielle Naveleal (  ✔  ♦  ♠  ♥ ) - Green If you ask Arnvidar about Aliandrielle he will most likely tell you that she is a good friend of his, as well as the only person in a very long time that's beaten him in a sparring match. What he won't tell you however is that while he does consider her his most trusted of friends, there is something more to it than that. It didn't take long after the two meeting each other for Arn to start developing feelings for the Elezen, but she seemed to be so against the very concept of relationships that he decided to let things fall were they would. He does fear for her however, as she harbours a lot of unresolved pain and fear which he tries to help her overcome. How that turns out remains to be seen.   Thya Kahzuun (  ●  ♦ ) - Of the Two Minds A young and promising Miqo'te fighter. She earned his curiosity very early on as she was quick to challenge him to a spar. In an uncharacteristic lapse of judgement, Arnvidar underestimated the woman's capabilities and recieved the wounds to show for it. Thya soon became what Arn considers to be his first proper friend within the Jackal and Hide company, which in turn led him to discover the woman's unstable mindset. From that day he set out to try and help her in any way that he can in order to make her mind her own once more.   Claisent Vaucotier (  ●  ♦ ) - Clai An Ishgardian knight that Arnvidar got to know quite some time ago, back in Nailah's old Free Company. At first there didn't seem to be anything special about him; acting like Arn expected of Ishgardians. As time went on however, a certain degree of respect began growing for the Elezen. While they never got to know eachother well enough for Arn to call Claisent a friend, he certainly does miss their spars from time to time and looks forward to their next meeting.   (Placeholder) ( ) - (Placeholder) (Placeholder)
