A reckless warrior made a surprise lunge and caught Aven unaware, his blade struck clean through Aven’s chest. Little did both of them know that Aven had been born with Situs Inverses and the blade had missed his heart by mere inches. The healer rushed to his side surprised to find Aven still alive.

Luck would so have it that a band of sky pirates landed near tail feather to stock up on supplies as well as recruit some fresh blood. The ship was named The Gryphon’s Pride. He signed up without a moment of hesitation when he learned they were going to raid a Garlean base. His parents cheered him on as he took to the skies aboard his new air ship with his new crew. Though he was low on the totem pole Aven worked hard and earned the respect of the pirates. They were an odd bunch with a strong sense of honor and comradery. Most of them chose the life because it granted them the freedom to explore and make some gil at the same time. And there was no greater thrill than exploring the vast sea of clouds.</font></div> | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#660303;" size="2">They took up residence and thrived in the hunting community helping with daily tasks and learning their way of life.

COMBAT & WEAPONRY
Though his armor is thick, he gets his true durability from a dulled sense of pain. Having been on the brink of death and revived from it, his pain sensory is not quite as it should be. Aven will walk through wounds and ignore minor pains easily in purist of his enemy. He will even retain motion in spite of large ones. He chases down his foe with a wild abandon, allowing his foe to strike him to make and opening for his axe.
His greatest strength is the power of his inner beast. Though mostly tamed, Aven can still lose himself to it fury. When that happens, Aven enters a battle rage. He will know not of friend or foe and will lash out at all that moves. He will strike with all of his might, even to the point of harming himself. He will carry on chasseing his foes until his body gives out. While the rage is a powerful tool, it is extremely dangerous to himself and his friends. Aven has awoken more than once in a pool of gore and each time destroys him mentally. He will try to contain his anger and rage, unless given no other option.

OOC NOTES
Player Note I expect a clear IC / OOC division in RP. Their feelings and my feelings are separate. I'm not opposed to friendships, but if an OOC relationship becomes stifling or uncomfortable, I won't hesitate to address the issue, or cut contact. Similarly, I hope that others are also as open in this regard as I am. I prefer clear lines of communication with whomever I'm RPing with, and those I'm RPing with should always feel free to send a /tell to clear up any questions. I'm normally OOC, so please send a /tell before approaching for RP. Personal RP Limits I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but even I have my limits. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no, and it means don't ask, and if I'm in the mood for it, I'll be the one to initiate.
Disclaimer Aven is a diverse RP character who has been across many different games. He has been in Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2, World of Warcraft and Aion. The name Aven was originally inspired many years ago from a Magic the Gathering card, Aven Windreader. No matter what universe Aven resides in, he always has his chest scarred. Normally, Aven is human. This iteration of Aven was tailored to fit into the XIV universe within the Lore to the best of my knowledge.

Potential Plot Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP.
Character Lore Adherence Information in this Wiki is Lore Compliant to the best of my knowledge. Information that has been changed to better fit with the lore of XIV will be listed below as necessary.
