Character

General

Recently, the sage has gained some reputation after his sudden interruption and rallying stance at the recent gathering of free companies. Otherwise, he continues his world-spanning voyages of discovery and delves into the deepest, ancient ruins to unearth secrets. As a new member of the Phoenix Down conclave of mages, Galen strives to immerse himself in the aetherical and lend his knowledge to the betterment of all. This doesn't just encompass mages, but all the peoples of the world.

Appearance

Most obviously, his hair stands out as a recognizable feature. Despite constant travel, Galen attempts to maintain his facial hair into a trimmed goatee and moustache with smooth cheeks and long sideburns. He keeps his hair at nearly shoulder length and rarely ties it back unless toiling in a forge. Though his clothing may change, he's very rarely seen without his glasses on. Tall, trim, and muscular, Galen belies his physical strength with travelers gear rather than armor unless necessary.

Personality

Galen is kind, but quiet. In most social situations, he's personable without being open. He will rarely talk about himself. He smiles easily and laughs readily, but his dark blue eyes are often haunted and he avoids discussion about it.

Combat

General

Though powerful, Galen seems to always want to settle matters of confrontation with words. Social solutions will ever trump battle to Galen, but that does not mean he is a pushover. With an impressive arsenal of diverse magical abilities at his fingertips, the sage can settle a matter with a well-placed fireball just as easily as one could talk it out. The point is that talking hurts everyone involved far less.

Tendencies

Eloquent and chatty, he says A LOT without ever talking about himself in any capacity that involves depth past the present. He's quick with a well-placed compliment and kind word, while his condemning glares are powerful, but rare.

Most often, anyone can find Galen travelling. He's also fond of writing and drawing.

Rumours

Easily Overheard Rumours

"Blue hair? Glasses? Quiet feller? Came round here when the redbellies tried t'torch my farm, drove'm off my land. E's a twelvesent, that one. Only asked for a loaf of bread fer his trouble and went on his way. Headed down the road toward Quarrymill." - Elderly Farmer

"Aye, I sawr'im down there by the Aetheryte, waterin' his Couerl. Kept to himself. Was just sittin' there by the creek, readin' some scroll wit' strange markings on it. Ain't no language I ever seen, gave me the chocobo-bumps jus' lookin' at it. He caught me starin', gave me a shrewd look so I moved on. Think he left camp three nights ago." - Little Ala Mihgo Guard

Somewhat Difficult To Overhear Rumours

"He -quit-. That's what he did. Pulled his brother from under the headman's axe and turned in his emblem. The Commander was madder than a bull with a Shroudthorn in it's side. Ain't seen him since, was about six....seven years ago? Yeah. Anyroad, I hear he was a devil with a sword n' board. Rising Star and all that. Seems t'me that star done winked out, huh?" - Boreus Farln, Sultansworn

Rarely Overheard Rumours

"It was horrible. Goblins raided our village, stole food and clothes, anything they could get their grubby little hands on. One bombed Old Arrold's home and the traveler just....snapped. He rode after'm in a fury and the forest lit up like the sun had risen early. He came back with some of our food and clothing, wearin' a white mask on his face. Had some blue gem on the forehead-like and he was cold, sad nothing to no one. Just dropped the recovered goods and rode on. Creepiest thing I ever did see, seemed like such a sweet sort till then." - Horrified Villager
