Avelyn Firestone is one of the few Fist of Rhalgr lucky enough to survive King Theodoric's madness. Ave eventually fled Gry Abania with her mother, and since then has been roaming Eorzea, or so she tells people. What Avelyn wants to achieve in life seems to be rather unclear, however she does talks about retaking the city she grew up in someday.

▼ APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY

Appearance

Years of training left the Ala Mhigan with a body shape fitting for a Fist of Rhalgr. Far from overly muscular, Ave does have a feminine shape to her appearance; one she is very much aware of, and not afraid to flaunt either. Self-assurance in her posture and manners are as a second nature to the highlander woman. Having spent as much time in the Thanalan sun as she did, whereas she was once more of the fairer complexions, she find a herself having a proper tan in the past years - a thing what gives her an odd contrast due to her fiery red hair and green eyes to go with it.

Often her hair is often kept into a messy pony tail or sorts, simply due to preferring not to give the enemy something easy to grab onto. However if someone were to convince her to brush it and let it down, she would have rather long thick hair. Whereas many male highlanders shave off their eyebrows, Ave keeps them thinly trimmed instead, giving her a more aggressive look then when she would let her eyebrows run their course; not to mention she doesn't shy away from slapping too much black eyeshadow and eyeliner on her face either.

Having seen many fights, brawls and wars over the past few decades, she owns a few scars here and there on her body, but nothing what would draw instantly attention. That is unless one were to look underneath her right foot somehow. Sadly enough for Avelyn, past mistakes ended up with a brand mark of sorts in the sole of her right foot.

At best she is bit on the taller end of female Highlanders, but certainly not towering above her male counter parts, although perhaps a bit more muscular then some of them!

Personality

While on first glance Avelyn look like your typical, drunken, cursing, brawling Ala Mhigan, certainly somewhere she has a heart of gold hidden away somewhere. Often mistaken for having an abrasive personality, Ave is drop dead honest with everyone she meets; whether it always works in her favour is left to question, but the fierce highlander certainly isn't dying to hold her tongue.

Despite being as blunt as a hammer, Avelyn is genuinely enjoyable to be around for the people who can endure her attitude, not that she particularly tries to be good company, but Ave simply has a knack for being social. It's also safe to say she enjoys her flirting and other endeavours overly much, as she doesn't shy away from that at all; in truth she may come across as a bit aggressive, if not overbearing at times, in that department.

Often prone to end up in brawls, random scraps and spars thanks to her taunting nature, it is more likely one gains respect by sparring her then trying to worm their way out of it, even if they lose. Winning or losing seem to matter little to Avelyn, with of course a few exceptions, as she thrives onto the thrill of battle itself; what more often then not extends into invitations of other physical activities. Not to say Avelyn isn't wary of people, although she rarely shows this off, knowing giving it away may give her a less favourable position in the situation.

Insults on the other hand seem to have little effect on her. Naturally she does get somewhat insulted when face with such, and at best may act as if she were to be heavily ridiculed, but making her lose her temper for real appears to be difficult task. As a Fist she hates people losing control of their temper and she would make for a poor example if she were losing her cool herself in turn. However that is not to say Ave isn't capable of messing things up, seeming it is a thing she's prone to do since the past few moons.

▼ Path of Destruction - HISTORY

Childhood

Born as the only child to Lancer Nora Spineripper and Monk Gwendolyn Firestone, little Avelyn wasn't entirely planned, but a welcome addition to the both families. With having both parents being very ambitious about themselves and their legacy, Ave got raised as one of the more disciplined children compared to many others in Eorzea. However as both parents were too stubborn to give up their positions they held, so the young girl spend most of her younger years under the protective, but strict wings of Gwendolyn's mother, Eva Firestone. While Nora and Gwendolyn both tried to pull their child to favourite one style of combat over the other, the little girl became engrossed by the temples her mother brought her to, and perhaps due to Eva giving the child a friendly push towards picking her daughter's side, once Avelyn had reached the appropriate age, she started to train at the temples devoted to Destroyer.

Teenage

As expected the girl spend most of her time within the temples of the Fists, adoring everything they had to teach the girl, from combat techniques, their religion, to meditation; Ave loved it all, and always managed to find support in her mother who had walked the same path as her many years before. As Ave's ability as a Monk grew, so did the power of the Fists, and sadly enough the rise of power the Monks gained didn't go unnoticed by the Mad King. With tensions rising between the Fists and the Mad King, Ave just barely managed to finish her training as a novice before the Mad King set upon purging the main temple.

♦ LOCATIONS & AFFILIATIONS Where to find this character with whom. (Knowledge accessible to all with IC research done on the character unless stated otherwise.) LOCATIONS ■ Ul'dah (high probability) ■ The Goblet (high probability) ■ Thalanan (high probability) ■ Mor Dhona (high probability) ■ Limsa (medium probability) ■ Gridania (low probability) ■ Ishgard (very low probability) AFFILIATIONS ■ The Fists of Rhalgr [Temple trained generation] ■ The Rising Fists Linkshell ■ Aquamarine Mist Linkshell ■ [HIDDEN] Ala Mhigan Resistance ♦ RELATIONSHIPS Eorzean encounters. (Make sure to check the 'color keys' tab - Relationships not always up to date!) [edit] Friends & Allies Acquaintances Family Foes & Rivals COLOR KEYS   Aedan Steelweaver ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► Ending up drinking together in Camp Drybone's local inn, the two highlanders seem to get along just fine; whereas it first appeared to be alcohol induced, they appear to get along just fine outside of their drunken shenanigans.   Erich Chase ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► Meeting the man in Ul'dah as Flower stood on the background, the two of them eventually ended up sparring outside Ul'dah. Initially declining her off for a drink, he made sure to honor his promise the next day. From that day on, every time she seems the younger Ala Mhigan, she is prone to taunting him for another match, seeming to care little if she wins or not.   Cerigo Sarior ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► Introduced by Riven Astralyas, Avelyn remains a bit confused how a highlander with Ala Mhigan heritage ended up being a Dragoon. However now the man decided to stray away from Ishgard, and turn more towards his roots, Ave found a new sort of respect for the man. Happy to talk with him about the Fists of Rhalgr and Ala Mhigo, she seeks to give as much advice as she can to the man.   Franz ⌠ ♦ ⌡ Three-eyes ► Having met Franz at a bar, and against better judgement she didn't try to outright murder him, probably having to do with being absolutely wasted at the time. A few months, more confusion later, and infatuation with the pureblood later, the two have an odd sort of relationship going on, if one can even call it that.   Kyrin the Falcon ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► Webbrael Wastgreinwyn's falcon makes for the most nicest of hair decorations; no really, Ave likes the bratty falcon to the point she considers the animal to be a friend.   Leoric Blackdale ⌠ ♦ ⌡ Leo ► Meeting the man by sheer chance, it didn't take long for the two older Fists to spend time with one another; finding an odd sense of comfort due to have finally met another Monk of her age who shares her mindset, despite being of the other sect. Prone to taunt him as soon they start spitting words at one another, and ending up sparring and brawling quite often, Ave does care for him a great deal more then others, despite her encounters with previous shadow sect Monks being far from enjoyable. Thankfully both have an understanding that becoming the king of the ashes of their Order isn't quite worth killing each other over, for now.   Scarlet Heath ⌠ ♦ ⌡ Heath ► Running into one another on a mercenary job, the two bounded rather easily. Mostly of the time the two of them can be spotted drinking with one another, and even if Ave claims she could drink as much as the gentle giant, it is the Ala Mhigan who passes out the first mostly of the time. With Ave's taunting nature, whether she's drunk or not, her and the Hellsguard tend to end up in fights; whether it is in a bar, a friendly brawl with one another, the two together are prone to get into trouble due to what Ave causes on a daily base. She considers the Hellsguard woman as one of her most trustworthy bed partners and friends. Although as of late Scarlet and Ave have been somewhat out of touch due to both of them being busy elsewhere.   Tristram Greythorne ⌠ ♦ ⌡ Tris ► Met the man by chance as she was meditating. Happy enough to break it off to meet up another highlander, she was happy to find out she'd met another Ala Mhigan. Casual conversations and some taunting back and forth, it seems for the better or worse, the Twelve are laughing and keeping the two from becoming more closer.   War Bear ⌠ ✖♦ ⌡ Bear ► Walking up to the tallest guy she could find in the Sands after a spar outside Ul'dah, she happened to run into Bear. Having no one to drink with, or bed for the evening, she was quick enough to invite the Hellsguard over for a drink. One thing let to another, and Ave got what she want, an evening of pleasure with the man. She enjoys the man's company greatly, but knowing Ave's temper and nature, their friendship and mutual attraction ended up as a friends with benefits type of deal. Avelyn is yet to find out about the man's death.   Webbrael Wastgreinwyn ⌠ ♦ ⌡ Webs ► Having to deal with her falcon in her hair, Ave soon figured out the woman is a joy to be around, and loves spending time with her and her feathery companions. Drinking, and talking about absolute trash while one of Web's birds flutter around the area is quickly becoming one of Ave's favourite ways to spend the time.   Achillies Froste ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► Ave and him met in the Forgotten Knight together with Riven. Initially dismissing him as yet another Ishgardian elezen, she found herself surprised when he indeed seemed to be a Monk tutored under a Fist of Rhalgr, and not being Ishgardian next to that.   Alfort Vaulant ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► Oddly enough her and the Temple Knight captain got along just fine. Ending up drinking and what not in Coerthas, they then simply parted ways to perhaps meet someday again!   Barengar Armsbreaker ⌠ ♦ ⌡ Grumpy ► Finding the man in the streets of Ul'dah, Ave was happy enough to stuff her nose into his business. Giving him a drink in return to apologise, a few days later the woman, unsurprisingly, tried to worm her ways into his pants. Declining her offer, the two simply spend the night drinking and smoking instead. Ave considered to man to be an entertaining one to be around, despite his grunting.   Berrod Armstrong ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► Meeting him was a fresh breath of air to Ave; long having seen but bragging children playing pretend to be Monks, she holds the young man in high regard for being one of the younger Ala Mhigans who appears to have sense about the Fist of Rhalgr. She doesn't quite agree with his new take on the Order, but at least it is a spark of hope in the midst of what she deems failures among younger Monks.   Ella Silentstorm ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► Known for her organising of fighting tournaments down her Free Company's building, and her silent but to the point talk, Ave respect the young woman for being a fighter and a genuinely pleasant person to be around, despite her quiet ways.   Elyscia Silverkin ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► Instantly finding herself drawn towards the woman for her fighting skills when the sparred at a small, friendly tournament, Avelyn is very much interested into getting to know El and her partner, Solid, better in the future.   Gerelt Redvalley ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► From the moment they've met, they ganged up onto irritating Franz, whether it was intentional or not (In Ave's case, it probably was). A thing Ave admires about Gerelt, seeming he appears to be capable of pushing Franz's buttons better then she is herself!   Kaguya Nightsong ⌠ ● ⌡ Flower ► Having used the woman as a weapon in a barfight, Flower and Ave's relationship didn't exactly start off well, especially after Ave accidently bedding a man Flower was after. Not that Ave has a particular dislike for Flower, she's very much aware that Flower isn't overly keen on her, and rightfully so.   Lucaell Tareth'eian ⌠ ♦ ⌡ Blue hairs ► Enjoying being around the less fortunate, Ave eventually ran into the girl, drawn into her by her music abilities. Enjoying spending talking with the young woman, she finds her wise beyond her years.   Mistalv Arroway ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► One of the few younger Monks Ave has a shred of respect for.   Mocking Wind ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► One of many Ave's crushes she has on roegadames. Not that Wind is much a lady, but every time meet Ave has a good laugh with the woman.   Osric Melkire ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► Finding him terribly naive onto the choices he had made with Monkhood, bordering onto thinking him to be a complete fool, at least he is a somewhat charming fool. She just wished he listened more to Leoric and her, and not much so to Berrod's words. She wouldn't say it out loud, but she's eager to observe how he's about to walk his path in becoming a Monk, even if she deems him too old to start it all still.   Percevains Navarre ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► Yet another Ishgardian elezen she got along with. However careful not to step on his toes, as interacting with Ishgardian is always a fickle affair for Ave, despite a few off comments, the two had a pleasant evening drinking together.   Katai Dataq ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► Meeting the young woman at the Grindstone, their meeting was surely a memorable one. Ave throwing around rather idiotic questions, Katai was thankfully just having a laugh about it. Not to mention when she joined in teasing a mutual acquaintances, she surely got on Ave's good side for showing off to be a person who possesses a shred of humour.   Riven Astralyas ⌠ ● ⌡ ► Prying into her drawings at the Forgotten Knight in Ishgard, Ave has an unhealthy interest to make the midlander as uncomfortable as possible by questing her private affairs and making lewd jokes around the woman. After recent events, Ave found herself rather annoyed with the woman.   Sarangerel Geneq ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► Met the woman at random when she walked into the tavern in Camp Drybone. Having to kick Lho around for Franz his own sake, the au ra woman did the exact same. A thing she appreciated.   Solid Sequoia ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► A roegadame she met at one of Ella's tournaments. Being literally knocked into her arms, and later on found the woman at the Grindstones a few times, Ave greatly enjoys spending time around her, and cannot wait to get to know her and her partner more.   Wiegraf ⌠ ♦ ⌡ Pirate ► Introduced by Heath in the Drowning Wench in Limsa, since then the two have been running into one another. Him giving her free booze, and Ave finding him a genuinely entertaining person to be around, Ave found herself running into him several times after they originally met.   Wolkan Lodall ⌠ ♦ ⌡ ► Spotting the man on a bench in Ul'dah with a hangover, Ave was kind enough to offer her her bottle of booze to kill of his headache. The brief moment they did spend together Ave did indeed enjoy, and it is probably just a matter of time before they run into one another again!   Geralt Farborough ⌠ ♣♥ ⌡ ► A long and painful history between mother and son, their relationship is an absolute train wreck. At times denying she has a son, sometimes speaking fondly of him, it is hard to say what exactly caused their rift, and Ave easily blames it onto her son's father. Not that talking with Geralt would make anyone wiser, as his story changes on his mood as well. At least they got that in common. Regardless of what Ave tells people, even if she's not prone to admitting it, she loves her son like any mother would.   Gwendolyn Firestone ⌠ ✖♣♥ ⌡ ► The woman who made Avelyn to what she is today, if you do not count in the negative habits Ave evolved after her mother died. Since Ave was a young child, she always looked up to her mother, hard to admit it, she knows she never will be the Monk her mother was; talented, feared, devoted, desired, deadly and even enjoying a favourable position in Ala Mhigo's army and politics to a degree, the woman was everything Ave was meant to be but never ended up being. After her mother's sudden death, Ave took her last name, for the time being, to honour her mother's legacy.   Nora Spineripper ⌠ ♣♠♠⌡ ► Whether the now old man is still alive, she despises the man who was once a part of the Corpse Brigade back in Ala Mhigo, and even going as far as shredding her father's clan name in favour for any other last name she could come up with after she'd fled Ala Mhigo; not that the man, if he's still alive, still carries that name, but Ave hardly knows that after decades of no contact. Whether he left her half-sisters and brothers is yet another thing Avelyn doesn't seem to be willing to talk about, or simply doesn't know of.   Bressal Farborough ⌠ ♠♠ ⌡ ► A known wealthy Ul'dahn merchant, and the father of Avelyn's son. At best they have a very odd, destructive hatred for one another after spending years and years together. Their relationship, or what little what remained of it, is yet another piece of the puzzle neither Ave, him or their son likes to talk about.   Lho'a Garanjy ⌠ ♠ ⌡ ► At first they got along quite well, until Lho decided to attack Franz, not one, but twice. Ave really does not enjoy his presence any longer, and does not agree with his way of helping Franz. ♥ Platonic Love/Family: The character considers this person family, and that goes above friendship.
