Nymeia, the Spinner General Information Briardien has lived the majority of his life on the streets of Ul'dah, earning his way through freelance work or the whim of his adventurous spirit. Because of this, he experiences some disconnect with Elezen culture, and though of Wildwood descent, has spent much of his life accustomed to Ul'dah's urban life. Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice Dark green Copper-streaked auburn Light brown Lean, muscled Soft-spoken, lilting Bearing Laterality Scars Markings Style Rounded at the shoulders, so as not to intimidate unnecessarily with height Left-handed A couple across his cheeks, elsewhere None that are usually visible Loose and open Hair & Eyes Briardien keeps his hair long, curling at its edges, free as a ship's sail. His eyes, when not so shaded by the length of his hair, sparkle merrily in deep forest-green. Physique & Markings His build is lean and slim, but muscled from exercise and, coupled with his height, intimidating enough to cause a stir in battle. He wears loose-fitting clothes, but aside from a handful of scars, any markings he may have are not usually seen. If questioned about them, he wryly changes the subject. Hygiene & Attire It seems Briardien is conscious of his hygiene, enough so that the sweat of a hot day will not linger for long. Still, along his line of work, it is to be expected that he usually smells of dry dust and warm leather, with his clothing loose enough to include some fresh sun-tinged air into the mix. Personality Psychological Profile For a man who proclaims to be a lover over a fighter, it cannot be denied that he is often in the thick of the seediest hearts of mischief. Still, his claims are held up in other ways -- his inclination to laughter, a good drink with company, and a conscious effort to seem more amicable and harmless than he truly is. He is easy-going enough, but his true nature often presses him to the edge of listening and learning over boasting his own bouts of adventure. He is uncomfortable with conversations that stray too far into philosophy or politics, preferring his world to be small and controlled. A reason why he prefers a self-contained city, perhaps, over the unpredictability of the wilderness. Voice Once his loud and echoing laugh has faded away, a passer-by may be surprised to note how quietly he speaks. One may have to strain over the business of a tavern, or the squawking of the hunt, to catch some of his reflections. The low decibel does not seem to come from uncertainty or even shyness. It is just his preference, with perhaps a part of him enjoying the notion of a room falling silent just to hear him speak. Philosophy & Mannerisms Briardien is a keen follower of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". He shows kindness and respect where it is due, and his ire will only be roused should you purposefully provoke it in himself or another. His posture is often rounded to appear smaller and more approachable than he is, and he radiates a welcoming air where all other aspects of his life should suggest caution.

History Briardien has lived the majority of his life on the streets of Ul'dah, earning his way through freelance work or the whim of his adventurous spirit. Because of this, he experiences some disconnect with Elezen culture, and though of Wildwood descent, has spent much of his life accustomed to Ul'dah's urban life. In Recent Times Moving Forward Briardien has gotten himself mired in some roguish trouble in Limsa Lominsa, slowly building an ill repute concerning the crowd he keeps and the work he does.

Rumors NPC Rumors Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ "What he gets up to in his own time is none of my business, mind -- but it don't take a penny of your time to see the company he keeps, and hear the things he might do. It's just a shame his braised pipra is so good. I keep coming back for more!" — Lalafell Shopper. ■ "Huh? Did he tell you about me? Just -- when you see him again, tell him I'll have the money next week! Wait. He didn't send you?" — Harried Drinker. ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "Hmm. Something about him doesn't sit right with me. I just . . . don't like how he watches everyone." — Day Drinker. ■ "You can catch him cleaning his knives sometimes, in the corner of the Drowning Wench when he thinks no-one's looking. Swear they actually had blood on them too!" — Worried Ruffian. ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ "Didn't you hear? He got branded as a child. Don't know by who, but he's awful modest about who sees it. Sounds like bad luck to me." — Gossip. ■ "He's no-one decent. Just doing everyone else's dirty work for them. He always gets hired because he never asks why." — Disgruntled Man. PC Rumors Feel free to add your own rumors to this section. ◢ Player Character Rumors - Some of these are more rare than others! ■

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. ■ I will play . ■ Ask about . ■ I won't play . RP Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP.

I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. ■ List item.

OOC Notes Player Information Player Note There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
