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 impression really depends on which person you ask. Some folks see Ehn as shy and anxious, preferring carbuncles 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.
