Emerlain Moreau

• NAME: Emerlain 'Emry' Moreau • AGE: 27 • NAMEDAY: 22nd Sun of the 2nd Astral Moon • RACE: Elezen, Wildwood (Ishgardian) • OCCUPATION: Painter • BIRTHPLACE: Ishgard • CURRENT RESIDENCE: Nomadic • MARITAL STATUS: Single • GUARDIAN: Halone, the Fury • ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Good • NOMADIC PAINTER: While wandering, Emerlain can be seen carrying a heavy pack on his back. The canvas sack is splattered with various paints, an easel is tightly secured with weathered straps, and parchments protrude from the top, haphazardly covered by a flap. Paintbrushes and personal belongings jingle as he walks, but one will never find him complaining about the weight. • DIFFICULT TO PLACE: Emerlain carries himself as a gentleman, with a noble or confident air, yet he has no home. His accent is difficult to place; the more one listens to it, the more unrecognizable it may seem. When asked about himself, he waves a dismissive hand and states there are better things to talk about. • CALM, COOL, AND COLLECTED: Despite how dire a situation may seem, Emerlain will typically appear as if he in full control...even if he's not. With a charming smile and clever wit, he does his best to convince others that everything will swing in his favor eventually. His optimism may also indicate there that there is more to him than the humble painter he declares himself to be. • AMOUR-PROPRE: Emerlain loves a challenge, be it of the mind or body, and he will gladly participate in friendly competitions where he can show his skill (though he tends to stray away from public displays). Still, he takes great pride in who he is and what he can do, but that same pride also holds the greatest potential for his downfall. • ROMANTICIST: Swiftly caught up in his ideals, Emerlain follows his heart and is quick to support people's dreams and causes. A romantic story is reason enough for him to help someone in need, and will even play matchmaker if given the chance. He loves life and wishes for everyone else to feel the same. ☀ Significant Other | ♥ Romantic Attraction | ★ Trusted | ⧖ Lost contact | ● Positive | ● Neutral | ● Negative | ?

Childhood friends, tutors, and family would be welcome to work into his story. • ARTIST/PAINTER: Emerlain would be mostly known for being available for portrait commissions, etchings for advertisements and books, calligraphy, as well as selling sketches and paintings of famous individuals and landscapes. • GENTLEMAN THIEF: Painting fills his belly (most times), but he does not live off painting alone. He has other skills, of the purloining type, and gets quite the thrill out of a good heist. He deems violence distasteful and avoids it when necessary. • Other active characters: Ruran Vas, Madoc Parnell, & P'sain Tia • Emerlain's Aesthetic/IC tumblr: Paint & Purloin
