Artoria Aldsan works as an adventurer and mercenary by trade, largely taking jobs in and around Mor Dhona, particularly when they involved squashing the local Garlean presence. A skilled swordswoman, she can often be seen at the forefront of battle.

Artoria grew up within the Garlean Empire and is not a native to Eorzea. Characters who are involved with the Garlean military may recognize her from her past involvement.

She is currently a member of Arcadeus, a Free Company focused largely on mercenary work and relic reclamation.

General Appearance

Artoria is a woman in her 20's. She can typically be seen wearing armor, though she may wear lighter cottons and leathers if she is simply out and about a city. She seldom travels without a side arm. When she is expecting a battle, she prefers medium or heavy armor and either a two-handed or hand and a half style of sword.

She is of slight frame, but lean muscles show evidence of training. Her pale locks and golden eyes often makes her easily recognizable to those given her description. The woman does not seem to possess anything of notable wealth, but keeps her armor and weapons in good condition. But despite her usual humble disposition, Artoria's carriage seems to indicate that she's had a well-born upbringing.

Though she rarely is dressed light enough to allow it to be seen, her body is far more heavily scaled than the typical Au Ra's. Particularly along her arms and legs, she seems to be almost more scales than skin, her fingers and toes ending in claws. In addition, on her chest, just over her heart, sits a black circle, darker than her scales, almost like a stain upon her skin.

Artoria is mostly quiet. She often holds her tongue on matters she considers not important. She used to come quickly to the defense of the weak, an instinct that she still has a hard time suppressing despite her best efforts. She dislikes bullies and will not hesitate to stand up to them, even when she is sorely outmatched or outnumbered. She is not quick to anger, but also is not quick to laugh or smile. Artoria can best be described as stoic, seeming almost machine-like at at times.

Artoria does not speak of herself too often, and while she does not often lie, she will often try to redirect the conversation or otherwise avoid the question if asked about her past. She also does not make small talk well; she is seen as quite serious by most, and some might even accuse her of lacking any sense of humor whatsoever. She has been making the attempt more often of late, but its success is another matter. She has a tendency towards naivety, and while she is not stupid, she will often take someone at their word.

Artoria is quick to learn, but seems convinced that her only talents lie on the field of battle. Despite her competence with the sword, she is still very green when it comes to the general knowledge of the Eorzea overall, and much of what she knows of Eorzea was learned in the last few years.

When given a choice, Artoria would choose a sword above all else. She began her training with most martial weapons early in her childhood, and while she is skilled with other weapons as well, the sword has ever remained her preference. In a fight, she often falls into a defensive stance at the beginning, always preferring to protect others before going on the offensive. However, it seems if she turns aggressive, she can go somewhat wild, almost like a sort of berserker state. She often becomes strangely cold and mechanical in battle, not hesitating to cut down weaker foes.

Artoria has received some training in magic as well, but despite having a large pool of personal aether to draw upon, she seems to lack both the inclination and the talent to take full advantage of it. Instead, she largely uses her aether to reinforce her swordsmanship. She not only throws out raw, unformed aether to act as both shield and attack, but also uses it to reinforce her own body, making herself faster and stronger.

Artoria remains extremely mobile on the battlefield. Despite her tendency towards heavy armor and defense, she is exceptionally acrobatic, able to leap from enemy to enemy in a manner similar to that of Ishgard's dragoons.

This wiki page contains details about Artoria's past, especially in the History section. Some of it may be discovered by those who actively seek it out, but much of it is not generally known. General and Behavior information are free for any observant character to play off of, and the same goes for the Rumors. History is purely there for OOC knowledge and is to help with plot development with those I am involved in a storyline with. Same goes for Recent Events, Relationships, and all the stories in the Written Works section. If you are interested in taking part, please let me know! And this page will be edited intermittently.
