GENERAL INFORMATION
APPEARANCE
Defiant is unusual among Raen for her dark brown skin, contrasting with the white scales that cover her body. These too are more heavy than many others of her race, bearing scales all the way around her neck from her jawline to her collarbone, with others covering her inner and outer thighs or gathering at her spine before her tail emerges. Though not noticeable, she is heterochromic, with her left eye bearing a green hue and her right a more aqua color. Her hair is naturally a soft, unusual shade of pastel blue, but she's taken to dyeing it blonde with highlights of pink... or lavender, with only hints of blonde. Regardless of color she almost always wears it straightened and pulled back, curly when it's down but found most often in sleek twintails. She takes a small amount of pride in the softness of her hair, skin, and scales, though her hands are well-callused with years of hard work.
She scars heavily and visibly, with shiny pink keloid scars decorating her chest, thighs and stomach. The most prominent among this is visibly twisted and poorly-healed, a heavy rip that bisects her stomach and has fresh white scales growing over the very ends... anyone with a modicum of knowledge can tell whatever wound caused it wasn't properly cared for. Her single horn also bears hints of damage, small hairline cracks covering it's surface and several scales missing where it was heavily injured.
She's quite the open book when it comes to her reactions and emotional state, and blushes easily... it's simple to tell how she's feeling just by glancing at her, her feelings writ over her face and in the motions of her tail. Many find her habits adorable, and call the woman irresistibly teasable, much to her chagrin. Rumors that she peeps loudly when agitated remain mere rumors, so far as anyone knows.
- ✷ Mismatched eyes, bright and often smiling.
- ✷ A single horn, curved by her cheek and bearing signs of past damage.
- ✷ An incredibly tiny build, noticeably plump all around.
- ✷ A warm, welcoming smile, sincere as anyone can be.
- ✷ Cheeks that are quick to redden, be it out of embarrassment, shyness, or some combination of both.
- ✷ A thick tail that, while not prehensile, tends to reveal her mood in it's flicks and swishes.
PERSONALITY
Though warm and eager to make friends, she can be remarkably shy when she feels she's in over her head... her interest in keeping people happy means that she tends to worry a lot about what others think, and she can repress her own feelings and opinions if she feels they might upset whatever balance she's managed to carve out. She gets embarrassed extremely easily and tends to stutter more and avert her eyes when lewd or romantic topics come up, growing bright red at the drop of the hat. This same habit makes her transparent as hell, as it's hard to get away with lies when you're burning bright as a cherry and tripping over every other word.
For all her appearances, Defiant suffers from intense anxiety and recurring bouts of severe depression. Her habit of bottling things up to not bother others leads her to lash out in less noticeable ways, and she's prone to overwork, not taking care of health, and engaging in risky behavior as forms of subtle self-harm. While she's promised to live on for the sake of others, she sees her continued living as a painful burden that she wishes to shed in some noble act... the strength of this desire waxes and wanes but has only grown completely silent once. She can work herself into painful panic attacks when she finds herself at a loss, as facing her own innumerable flaws devours her with anxiety. She's unwilling to discuss either of these problems with anyone in her life, believing that some things are unconscionable to burden another with.

- ✷ Gilded Magitek prosthetic left hand. After losing his left hand in battle, Sigurd spared no expense on a gilded magitek replacement. Four names are scribed in a tiny font at the base of the prosthetic: Khana Sundsteigen, Anujin Sundsteigen, Odette Saiorse, and Khyran Oisin, along with the makers’ stamps: “Suetonius Donatus and Defiant Bride.”
- ✷ Prototype gunblade. A cutting-edge, technological marvel crafted by Sigurd’s former Garlean business partner and friend, Septimus Rem Nerva and originally made for the Garlean’s wife, Skylar Brooks. Sigurd now wields the gunblade with surprising proficiency.
- ✷ Doman tanto. Gifted by a man the vintner considers a distant brother, Endricane Feltaro, a magnificent hand-crafted doman tanto usually rests at the ready atop the vintner’s chest in a custom sheathe.
- ✷ Platinum materia-and-shell charm necklace. Sigurd often wears a discrete platinum necklace bearing a small materia orb and seashell under his exterior garments.
- ✷ Griffin sigil flask. A prized wedding gift, Sigurd ensures his trusty flask, which bears the sigil of Ala Mhigo, is filled with top-shelf Limsan whiskey and on his person at all times.
- ✷ Stack of promissory notes Instead of carrying a pouch of gil, Sigurd carries a fat stack of blank promissory notes. Each promissory note bears the official insignia of Ul’dah’s finest financial institutions.
- ✷ Magitek pen The vintner carries an exotic magitek pen on his person at all times. Infused with cureleum and containing a large ink-well, the pen has executed several important documents.
- ✷ Multi-frequency link pearl Within Sigurd’s left ear resides a multi-frequency link pearl bearing the stamp of the liquidated free company, Ebonbrand Teknoworks. Sigurd uses this link pearl to maintain contact with various contacts and social networks.
✷ PAST ALIASES... Dove / Siggy / Sanguine. ✷ PAST AFFILIATION... The Abyssal Sea (void-touched). |

Background Narrative
Rain followed Sigurd from youth, falling from the depths of the void.
The sky broke when Ala Mhigo tore itself apart when its walls fell and the King of Ruin abdicated his bloody throne. At the age of ten, Sigurd was taken under the wing of his "uncle," Hunter Sundsteigen. A second-tier voidsent entity, Hunter posed as a priest of Rhalgr and gifted his "nephew" a sharp knife and taught the importance of worshiping through sacrifice. The priest expected the boy to spread the faith, and promised the breaker of worlds smiled every time a throat was indiscriminately opened in his name. Sigurd had few choices other than to appease his uncle's murderous appetite for aether, as even a brief lapse in faith invoked horrific consequences.
The legions of Garlemald weakened Hunter's control momentarily, as Sigurd and Hunter were forced to flee Ala Mhigo. The priest, however, formed a reclusive commune on the skirts of Little Ala Mhigo and lured drifters, wanderers, and other exiles to rally under the common cause of "restoring the Ala Mhigo." The commune grew into a fringe, extreme wing of the Ala Mhigan resistance. Sigurd remained Hunter's most loyal thrall and endured years of brutal "tutelage," which amounted to little more than instruction in classic Ala Mhigan close quarters combat and murder. Sigurd proved skilled at harvesting aether by quietly eliminating "undesirables" who joined the swelling ranks, including the weak, poor, and infirm.
Yet, three qualities grew to distinguish Sigurd from his kin: self-interest, wanderlust, and a gnawing sense of guilt. Sigurd grew to despise the blind vengeance and blood lust motivating his countrymen, who oft devolved into zealots chasing a lost cause. Sigurd grew to loath himself for the unspeakable evils he committed under the direction of Hunter and bundled those emotions away while dreaming of escaping the bleak desert landscape surrounding Little Ala Mhigo. Hunter eventually allowed Sigurd to leave and experience the outside world after the commune had swelled to sufficient proportions.
During his twenties, Sigurd traveled far and wide under carefree skies. He directed his natural faculties and training into the adventuring profession, accepting almost any contract that paid above fair market rate. Over a ten year period, Sigurd gained considerable experience planning expeditions, leading small groups, and motivating individuals to risk their lives for gil. The work was interesting, as it encompassed stealing trade secrets, plundering forgotten ruins, and poking holes into squishy things. But most importantly, adventuring paid extremely well, and countless nights were packed with lush wines, loose women, and easily forgotten memories.
Over time, it became apparent that the adventuring lifestyle would not last forever. Sigurd encountered a poor string of luck after botching several important contracts, which prompted crippling debt. He discharged all but one debt. The remaining creditor, an influential Limsan gambler, refused Sigurd's attempt to tender late payment. Instead, the gambler chose to waive the debt after a crude torture session. The gambler carved the outstanding sum into pale flesh-- one cut, a total of 30 in all, for each ten-thousand gil owed. These injuries were grievous and necessitated Sigurd's premature sabbatical.
After losing much of his pride to the gambler, Sigurd tapped his remaining savings and purchased a plot on the fringe of Wineport, where he began cultivating wines and recovering from his injuries. The idea of owning a quaint vineyard had entered his mind several times while adventuring through La Noscea; it was the type of peaceful, leisurely existence he dreamed of as a child. At first, wine cultivation did not live up to his romanticized expectations. Hours were spent in the vineyards learning the basics of grape cultivation. More were spent in the cellars, performing an endless number of tastings and learning pretentious trade etiquette. As a result, Sigurd developed a shrewd business sense and understanding of "high society." The vintner trade provided stability and material comforts capable of sating the Highlander's thirst for severe indulgence and frivolity. Yet, these desires only increased as his wines became the object of greater demand, especially in Ul'dah, where the Quicksand became his highest grossing customer.
IC Narrative
Sigurd gradually declined into a shiftless alcoholic and struggled with severe anxiety and depression, knowing Hunter would eventually beckon him back to the commune. Skylar Brooks dragged Sigurd away from these destructive habits and set him on a new path. Joining arms with former Garlean centurion Septimus Nerva, Sigurd acquired a fifty-percent interest in the now defunct Magitek free company, Ebonbrand Teknoworks. Through Ebonbrand, the vintner met his future wife, Khana Borlaaq. Khana suffered the brunt of Sigurd's volatile past and eventually fathered a child to another man. Sigurd, however, grew to love her child as his own and agreed to marry Khana. All the while, Sigurd worked tirelessly to strike an accord between Skylar's lovers, Endricane Feltaro and Septimus Nerva. His efforts failed and eventually soured his relationships with all parties.
By some strange twist of fate, Sigurd met Khyran Oisin, a frail cripple who would eventually purge the void from the vintner's life. After Hunter's physical shell died, the voidsent eventually transferred his essence into Khana's infant daughter to torment Sigurd. Around this time, the vintner stumbled across Odette Saoirse, who offered him unconditional friendship at a time when most had turn their backs on the vintner. Sigurd's feelings for Odette grew over time as a result of her "great personality." With the help of his new comrades, Sigurd narrowly defeated Hunter and banished the void's influence from his life for good.
Sigurd took a much-needed break from public life after Hunter's fall but returned after hearing that Septimus was imprisoned on charges of treason. The vintner briefly joined Khyran's new free company, Aethertide Ventures, to keep the reckless man safe. During this time, Khyran learned of the treacherous plot of Amandus Cassius, a Garlean tribunus who sought to overthrow the Legatus of Castrum Occidens and invade La Noscea. Sigurd felt compelled to eliminate Amandus because few believed Khyran's wild accusations. With the help of over forty adventurers, Sigurd directed an offensive against Amandus, who severed the vintner's left hand and critically wounded several combatants before falling in battle.
Notes
- Sigurd’s connection with the void was severed by Khyran Oisin, but he still feels its influence on occasion.
- Sigurd appears to be in his mid-forties due to excessive aether use and channeling during his youth. He suffers from a disproportional number of aches and pains typically felt by much older individuals.
- Sigurd is sensitive to aetheric signatures and can detect them across distances after mingling his blood with others.
- Like the Fists of Rhalgr and Dark Knights of Ishgard, Sigurd can siphon aether from the dead and uses his body as an aether channeling focus. Aether seeps from the scars on Sigurd's body when he becomes highly emotional and can be channeled to hasten movement and form barriers. Sigurd can staunch the flow of aether only by opening a small cut on his body.
- Sigurd /rarely/ utilizes aetheric abilities and keeps his former association with the void closely guarded. Extremely few know about his past.
- Sigurd is especially attuned to sensing and combating voidsent energies. A tamed wolf knows the tricks of a wild wolf.
