Much of her travels outside of the conventional allies of Eorzea she keeps quiet, aside from the fact her primary residence is in Hingashi - a living arrangement that is the crux of her travel ability.<br><br> |
Aryn tends to collect things while travelling - texts & books on a range of topics, from anthropology to zoology. Musical instruments, collections of musical dictations, books on musical theory. Paintings, drawings, sculptures as well as various mediums of parchment, paints, conte, chalk, charcoal, pencils, inks, dyes, and brushes. And of course, dresses and jewellery of all kinds, though those are often mostly gifts. | Aryn tends to collect things while travelling - texts & books on a range of topics, from anthropology to zoology.

Her unique brand of empathy also paints her temperament, causing many to feel like her personality shifts and shapes depending upon whom she is associating with at the time of their contact.<br><br> |
Another influence upon her personality is her unique affinity for deep empathy with those around her, which causes her personality to be rather metamorphic, changing rather fluidly, adapting to those around her, allowing her to blend into almost any social setting she arrives in. This often gives a the illusion of greater intimacy with people than Aryn actually has, and sometimes leads to discomfort with people she has only just met. Such fluidity also tends to lead to accusations of being disingenuous, however this is far from the truth - this fluidity of self is simply is who Aryn is. | Another influence upon her personality is her unique affinity for deep empathy with those around her, which causes her personality to be rather metamorphic, changing rather fluidly, adapting to those around her, allowing her to blend into almost any social setting she arrives in.

+ | :: <small>Origin: ''Moulin Rouge promotional video'' | ||
+ | :: Context: ''Lady Marmalade'' quickly became one of the most well known pieces of artistry related to courtesans and period entertainers after it was released in the lead up to ''Moulin Rouge''`s premiere. The movie itself was a rather fantastic, over the top, visually stimulating story about a French courtesan who falls in love with a 'lowly' writer; there are many fairly accurate details of what life was like for a sex worker during that time period, and such themes generally extend to most time periods - lower ranking girls (and boys) were often given less considerations, only somewhat of a step above the whores who worked the docks and streets, while those who showed exceptional talents in entertainment and/or intelligence as well as the cunning to put them to greater use had the opportunity to lift themselves to greater heights. The movie does not show exactly how far a skilled courtesan can make it, however it does touch on themes like patronage of a rich suitor, exclusivity contracts, and hints at the very French idea of a courtesan being kept by the rich and/or noble in their estates, rather than being patronised at an establishment.</small> | ||

After the intervention of one Cezi'to the Archmage, and a rather odd evening, Aryn found that Vincent was rather against charity, so she offered him the chance to prove he could make it in the field of security - and potentially become her personal bodyguard before possibly becoming a member of the Red Lantern security detail.<br><br> |
+ | Thus far, while Vincent has proved to be a talented fighter, his behaviour has Aryn questioning his personal feelings, as he often speaks in a manner that implies he may have less interest in the income that is being offered, and more interested in her company; despite her efforts to point out these things, the guard remains rather unaware of what he is doing, making her wonder if he is even aware of what he has been expressing.</div> | ||

However, with the commotion of the Dotharl proclaiming he was intent on slaying me, simply for turning my ears about in a noisy tavern, this lovely gentleman was sadly missed that eve. Thankfully, we are neighbours, of sorts, as he lives within the Goblet as well, and as luck would have it, Mister Paradyme happened upon me while I was relaxing in the baths there; he possesses an intelligence and wit that matches his beauty, and after voicing that he was thankful I was unharmed, we spent the rest of the evening in conversation - he even learned that dancing can be enjoyable when one finds the right partner."</i></div> | ||

Unfortunately, the crafter was not particularly prepared to deal with a raging Dotharl, and when the Au Ra's unhinged dialogue turned towards the idea of killing all of the patrons of the tavern, as his companion pointed out that they would attack the swordsman if he did carry out his plane, Paradyme faded into the background of the tavern, escaping the situation, despite his concerns.<br><br> | ||

After accepting the apology, the pair spent the rest of their evening together; there was a small mishap where a magically charged wave caused Aryn's bathing suit to come undone, leading to an awkward moment between them before they left the baths, however.<br><br> | ||

I'm afraid my gift has always left me a little... vulnerable to the desires I sense from others. Nevertheless, this is who I am. You might as well ask a Scholar to forgo logic, or a Warrior to be non-violent. I cannot change. And I don't want to, ever. Why does it bother you?
"I received years of training in literature, etiquette, dance and music before I was allowed to make my first public appearance. We have played quite a huge role in enriching our country’s traditions in music and art, you know. And sexuality – that too was considered an art, an ancient art..." Aspects That Stand Out:
Although it often requires travelling under a variety of names, Aryn enjoys what could be considered freedom of movement across most of the world; there are costs, however, though she downplays them to most, if the conversation ever turns towards her travels. Much of her travels outside of the conventional allies of Eorzea she keeps quiet, aside from the fact her primary residence is in Hingashi - a living arrangement that is the crux of her travel ability. Notes:
Although she does not announce it from the rooftops, and she does not hide it in the shadows, Aryn uses her talents, skills, and training to live comfortably as a form of courtesan in Hingashi, and her methodology has quite a reflection upon her personality - as such things do for anyone who engages in such a business, and holds a particular kind of status; the basis of her profession is quite foreign to most lands, which causes her clientele base to be extremely limited while also colouring how she handles her business requests. Her unique brand of empathy also paints her temperament, causing many to feel like her personality shifts and shapes depending upon whom she is associating with at the time of their contact.
Music
While most of her training has revolved around more cerebral or artistic endeavours, Aryn's training also extended into magical and combative arts, though she will rarely speak of this fact, nor of when she ever has had to make use of such things outside of scholastic matters. Some do get close enough to her to learn more about this facet of her life, however very few learn of such things in a polite fashion - those that have are usually learning such at the business end of her magical combative artistry.
Weapons of Choice
Below are some useful titbits should you ever be interested in attempting to attack Aryn (she rarely spars, though could be convinced under the right circumstances). Please note that while I am very open to violence and I am not beyond having my character sport an injury for days to weeks on end things such as dismemberment, permanent damage, and even death needs to be spoken about prior to any combat in vivid detail with extensive discussion before anything will ever occur IC.
