General Information

An upbeat, somewhat awkward young Miqo'te who doesn't seem to know what in the world he wants to do with himself. He spends a lot of his time lounging in bars or restaurants, chatting up whoever will listen. A bit obviously aimless, but laughs off any and all inquiries as to his well-being, and refuses to tell anyone about himself, despite how much he talks. What he won't tell you, is that he relishes in this camaraderie and hedonism, since it's something he's never gotten to experience before, and he fully intends to make the best of it. Maybe follow his dreams as well along the way... whenever he figures out what those are.

Appearance

Hair color: Dark blue, with slightly lighter highlights at the ends
Eye color: Left the same purple as his family, right a dull blue resulting from the same injury that gave him the scar that runs through it
Skin color: Dark, rich brown
Height/Weight: 5’3", 154 lbs
Piercings: At least one in each ear
Tattoos/Markings: Black Seeker marks around his eyes
Body Description: Rather muscular, since he puts a lot of his time into various forms of exercise. Thus, he's somewhat broad and stocky. However, he's got a bit of a case of babyface to contrast this. Has somewhat abnormally large teeth for a seeker, which can lead to his smiles being unintentionally threatening. Sharp claws that are often painted.
Extra Features: A long scar down the entire right side of his face, and freckles across his cheeks. A bit of scruffy facial hair from simply not being bothered to shave.

• Extroverted
• Lazy
• Passionate
• Hedonistic
• Anxious
• Honest
• Impulsive

Mannerisms

Personality: In two words, genki idiot. Incredibly anxious at his core, but can't help being extremely extroverted and boisterous, so he gives off a sort of false confidence. Able to read people well, but naive enough that it doesn't get much useーin the same vein, clever and a good liar, but he only really uses that skill for trivial things, or maintaining that false bravado. Unfortunately, kind of lazy; would rather relax with a cold drink than do dirty work, with a few exceptions. Painfully easily embarrassed, especially at being shown affection of any kind, which is unfortunate. He's a chatterbox, though he does consciously try to restrain itーat least around strangers. Jury's still out on how successful he is at that. He's painfully aware of how "obnoxious" he is though, so...

You could call him a wanderer, or an adventurer, maybe, but really, he's just flighty. He has what he views to be a bad personalityーwhen he gets comfortable around people, he gets louder, more talkative, and more excitable than he already isーwhich has proven to just annoy them. Thus, the solution he's decided on: just don't get close enough to people that they see him like that! Simple. No, he doesn't know how bad this is for him. He also doesn't seem to realize how much this sucks when taking the fact that he thrives on affection into account. I never said he was (emotionally) smart.

The excuse he gives is that he wants to sightsee, but this isn't very true. He'd honestly probably rather settle down with good friends and good food, but he's too scared of everyone he might get close to hating him. ...He's not doing a spectacularly job at self-isolating and being emo, though, due to the fact he's just inherently amicable and loving, and thrives on not only affection and praise, but simply spending time with others. (and... he's embarrassingly snuggly.) That, and the fear is almost 100% in his head.

Normal mood: Generally, cheerful! Or at least looking like it. Laughs off his anxiety, which... seeing as he's perpetually anxious, he comes off as boisterous and upbeat.

Philosophy & Ideals

Among other things, believes in never letting a debt go unpaid; and pays back everything tenfold, to the best of his ability. This goes for wrongdoings and acts of kindness alike.

Quirks

• Laughs when nervousーwhich is often. Said laugh is very loud and might be odd to some
• Expressive body languageーtail is always moving unless specifically trying to be polite
• Chews on anything sturdy enough to stim
• Will talk endlessly about anything to anyone who'll listen

Likes		Dislikes
Dancing (though he's shy about this) Any kind of food On that note, cooking Quiet, listener types Attention and praise Fighting (of the physical and friendly variety) The cold (especially snow)		Isolation Bugs of any kind Authority figures Heights Exertion Fighting (of the verbal and scornful variety) The heat, and water (though they're fine if combined, ex. beaches in summer)

Skills		Education
Proficient at physical combat, and reckless enough to win the fights he starts. A wonderful cook, and always trying to get better. Good with kids; would be a good babysitter or caretaker. A knack for White Magic...? However, he doesn't care for really learning it, so maybe he'll never know.		Sparing, due to his birth family choosing to focus on other things, and then being orphaned; he didn't have much access to schooling. However, this changed after he and his sisters were adopted by their new fathers, and they were all given a standard education (albeit the fact that he was still choosing to be rebellious and troublesome, and thus was a bit of a problem student.) After that, he decided to expand on the cooking knowledge he'd already gained on his own via a sort of informal educationーwhich is to say, he helped out parents and caretakers of children and learned as many recipes and techniques as he could from them.

Strengths		Flaws
Bold and brave (for better or for worse) Amicable Patient		Acts almost purely in self-interest Easy to provoke Impulsive

Fears		Favorites
That anyone he comes to care about will eventually hate and leave him Something happening to his sisters In a complete change of pace, heights		...I'll get to this. The quickest way to his heart is through his stomach and/or headpats/earrubs.

Early Life

Childhood

He and his sisters were some of many many many orphans after the calamity. As a trauma response, doesn't remember much from before he and his sisters were orphaned.

Adolescence

He was an angry, rebellious child, and had a penchant for vengeance. (though he was too young to do but naught about anything, so this resulted mostly just in him being aggressive and irritable, quick to start fights and to snap at anyone not his sisters.) He got his scar at some point while he and his sisters were still living on their own, from some incident involving him getting into a fight defending one of them. He took care of the other two a lot along with I'ndanya, but she was so frail from frequent sickness back then that he mostly just made her sit down and be taken care of instead of vice versa for her own good.

Adulthood

They were eventually adopted by their new fathers, who weren't exactly... fantastically well off, but they had more than enough love for their kids to make it worth it, in said kids' eyes. Plus, it really wasn't that bad (at least to them,) they just had to help out a bit more than some kids might've. In any case, now I'rhinn, since he knows what it's like to starve, be scared and suffer alone, and feel like no one loves you enough to ensure your life, really wants to fight feeling that again, or anyone else going through that as well. He grew out of his rebelliousness and spite for the world eventually, after living with their new fathers for a while. However, he still has a few traits that were never really buriedーlike the fact that anyone who hurts his loved ones is certain to get it back tenfold. (this.. doesn't always turn out well.) This might also kick in if you insult him (or someone important to him) in a particularly deep way.

Recent Times

Now, he's started to go out on his own without the fear of having to fend for himself and his family on his backーwhich has led to him indulging a lot more than he's ever gotten to before. For the moment, he spends his time doing part-time jobs utilizing his skills as a cook and fighter as cash grabs to experience things he never was able to before, and spoil his family when he can. In particular, he's especially fond of the dancers he's met across the realm... you'd have to fight him a bit to get it out of him, but he does dream of being one, and if he were to be completely honest, has since he was much younger. The freedom, elegance, and grace of their dances has always allured him, and he's thought of it as something to aspire to, once he's 'free' himself. Now that he is... well, he's just scared.

Common		Uncommon
These are rumors that are easily overheard or public knowledge. Use them freely!* "Cooks well, but refuses to settle down with a job. Too flighty for my tastes, anyway." - The Quicksand Chef "He acts all like he doesn't care a thing, but he'll do anythin' if you've got a kid." - Bemused Mother "Right pain in the arse, that one. Keep him away from my shop 'fore he bothers anyone else away." - Irritated Vendor * Some rumors may be partially or entirely untrue.		These rumors may take a little digging to find. Use sparingly or ask permission before use.* "I know that face, and it's not one I ever wanted t' see again. Last I heard, he ain't got any fears, and no qualms about takin' you if you try t' start somethin'." - Limsa Lominsan Sailor "Last I heard that name, he was taking any damn job you'd hand his way... Even if it was dirtier than any good man should think to take. With how young he was, had me right worried... Can't do naught for him now but hope he's on the right track." - Elder Shopkeep "I used to help him take care of his sisters... He would mostly tend to them while with us, but I'd have to take him to get his own ailments cared for more often than most others. ...I think he has a good heart, 'spite it all." - Ul'dahn Nurse * Some rumors may be partially or entirely untrue.

Rare
These rumors are very difficult to find. Ask permission before use.* "Ah, that's the kid that used to pick fights for cash around here... Been so long, I'm sure not a soul else remember his face...

RP Hooks

• Bibliophile

  You've recently acquired or heard rumor of a rare text pertaining to music or alchemy. Helski is a well known buyer in this area.

• Why Did It Have To Be Snakes

  Often found exploring old runes, abandoned cities, and archaeological sites. You can watch but mind where you step!

• So Where Are You Really From?

  The horns stand out, what can be said?

Acceptable RP		Unacceptable RP
Death & Trauma Romance & ERP; Mature/Dark (With limitations & a defined build up to it) Almost Anything To Be Honest		God Plots/God Modding Plots that greatly affect my own without prior discussion TBD

Player Info

I'm brand new to FFXIV (Since August 2019, and therefore new to RP & the lore that comes in this game), so patience and tips are welcome items!

My Policies

• Communicate, Communicate, Communicate!

  Seriously if you are uncomfortable with RP'ing something out or how something went, you want to plan a specific plot/action, or just need to get something off your chest - DO IT! I don't bite and honestly find the best RP is a an open and communicative RP between players.

• Ghosting

  I'm understanding - no really. I get it, real life happens, the interest isn't there, time is nowhere to be found. Just don't leave me hanging. Take the 15 seconds needed to message me in game or on discord to say you want to cut it off.

• Tolerance

  I do not, let me repeat, DO NOT, tolerate Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia, Albelism, Misogyny or any form of extreme hate, and prejudice in my OOC or IC chats. PERIOD. If you have an opinion in that regard, okay keep it to yourself. Because to be honest, knowing and dealing with these is a total joy kill on a massive scale for me. So yeah just be a cool person and let's not huh?

OOC Character Info		Links
As an RP'r: Been RPing for just over 20 years! My one constant hobby :) OOC/IC: Borrowed from Achillies because I couldn't word it better myself: I have a very clear distinction when it comes to OOC/IC. They must remain separate at all times if we are to RP together, especially on an extended basis and I reserve the right to end interactions should this be impeded upon. I've been burnt heavily by people mistaking IC care and OOC friendship and attention with romantic regard and honestly I don't wish to go through another such debacle once more. If my character dislikes yours that does not mean I hold the same sentiment. If my character loves yours that does not translate to me feeling the same for you, though I might feel a platonic equivalent. I am not my characters and they are not me. Respect this and we shall get along famously. Timezone/World: EST/EDT/UTC -5 on Diablos; Mostly play late into the evening & weekends		Discord: Please inquire in game
