Awkward and sort of shy, Ehn is not quite what someone would call much of a social butterfly. He often gravitates heavily towards familiar faces, and a group of complete strangers is usually met with poorly hidden nerves. His awkward ‘graces’ and tendency to say what's on his mind (even if it's not the nicest of things) can land him in trouble, and people’s understandably upset reactions either cause him confusion or anxiety (sometimes both). Even so, a second glance and a little bit of patience reveals the friendly, well-meaning soul buried underneath his anxiety and lack of social graces. Earning his trust nets you a loyal ally that will have your back even at the cost of his own safety or sanity.<br><br> | Awkward and sort of shy, Ehn is not quite what someone would call much of a social butterfly.

While best known as a member of the arcanist's guild, Ehn is still a member of the adventurer's guild as well, and it isn't really that strange for him to volunteer to come along on an questing party. Wide eyed and inquisitive, he's a more studious side of adventurous, preferring to pour himself into quests out of knowledge and research rather than fame or glory. While he's happy in a library or sheltered settlements, he also finds enjoyment in wandering off the beaten path, taking in the world around him and observing the things that live in it.<br><br> | While best known as a member of the arcanist's guild, Ehn is still a member of the adventurer's guild as well, and it isn't really that strange for him to volunteer to come along on an questing party.

At first glance, Ehn seems like no surprise as an arcanist: bookish, curious, perhaps a lot better with carbuncles than he is with people. Even so he takes in the world with equal parts apprehension and curiosity, soaking up as much knowledge as he can while trying to navigate the terrifying world that is the social scene. Those willing to look past his nervous habits and lack of social graces will find a good-natured soul that's more than willing to step up and in his friends' corner when he's needed. He honestly is trying his best. First Glances:
Ehn is a lanky miqo’te man who, overall, can be described as pale. Pale skin, pale blue eyes, even light green hair often pulled back into a ponytail at the nape of his neck. In contrast, a pair of dark tattoos mark the sides of his eyes, matching the ones near the bridge of his nose. His only scars are faint ones at his neck, as if someone dragged their nails across the skin when their hand was ripped off. Aspects That Stand Out:
Ehn's first impressions really depends on which person you ask. Some folks see Ehn as shy and anxious, preferring carbuncles and books over people and hiding behind books. Others might see him as awkward and blunt, with a tendency to speak what's on his mind even when it's not the most appropriate thing to say out loud. Others yet might see him as curious, and perhaps a little nosy when something's caught his attention. At his core, though, he is an anxious but well-meaning sort with a healthy appetite for soaking up what knowledge he can and sharing his findings later. He knows what he knows and is eager to learn what he doesn't.
Very few people know of Ehn's life before the Adventurer's Guild, and from the way he gets reluctant to talk about it, it's probably the way Ehn likes it. Born as the only child to mother Ehnek and late father Fal'ir, Ehn (then Ehnek'a) grew up with his mother and his godfather Ghes'sae, who stepped in to help care for the family after Fal'ir's death. Between Ehnek's failing health and Ghes'sae's own unresolved resentments often causing him to make Ehnek'a a target, Ehnek'a lived an isolated and stressful life, having little time for socialization and instead busying himself with helping care for his mother or reading books in an attempt to stay out of Ghes'sae's way. While Ehnek was not happy with Ghes'sae's treatment of her child, she wasn't much in a position in both finances and health to turn his help away. As Ehnek'a grew and his mother's health kept slowly declining, tensions between him and his godfather grew more. At first most incidents between the two were mostly verbal disagreements and shouting matches, but over time the disagreements began to get physical, Ehnek'a often earning slaps and threats in the later months for daring to stand his ground. Ehnek hit her breaking point with an incident that involved Ehnek'a being grabbed by the throat. She pulled her son aside the next night, and in hushed tones presented him with a beginner's grimoire; before he could ask where she got it, she hushed him further, quietly slipping him a stash of gil and a ticket for a ferry to Limsa Lominsa. In the coming light of dawn, Ehnek'a slipped out of his home and through the thick of the Shroud, one of his mother's large pearls dangling from his ear. The ferry ride was mostly uneventful, the most interesting of events to come out of it was the eventual nicknaming of 'Ehn' from a joke by the ferryman. He immediately enrolled in the Arcanists' guild, and after a bit of coaxing from the guildmaster joined the Adventurers' guild not long after. He proved to be an exceptionally gifted student, near flying through lessons and exams with impressive speed and understanding and graduating a little earlier than most studies. Even now, Ehn has taken his guildmaster's teachings to heart, especially about the bond between carbuncle and master, and travels alongside "Rascal" to gain a deeper understanding of the critters and improve his geometries all around.
