Biographical

Name

Full Name: Kerr Vyen

Nicknames: NA (none yet)

Origins: Kerr’s name does not follow traditional miqo’te naming traditions. With the death of his mother at a young age, he lost any information on any clan she may have formally belonged to. As he grew older, he chose to honor her memory by taking her first name as his last.

History

1552 — On the 12th day of the 4th Astral moon, Kerr was delivered in the captain’s cabin of the Filthy Clownfish to a young privateer named Vyen.

1557 — Vyen dies in a bloody battle between pirates. Gavin, the first mate, steps up to take command and Kerr becomes a ward of the crew.

1559 — Gavin's wife returns from a long stint of capture, mentally unstable.

Traits

Skills

Piracy: Brought up by a band of pirates, Kerr specialized primarily in combat roles, as opposed to magic.

• Hand to Hand: Most of his training deals in close quarters combat, having lived on a ship most of his young life. He is much more of a scrapper than a truly trained martial artist, boasting high flexibility and acrobatic ability.
• Archery: After the fall of Dalamud, he moved to Gridania for some time. There, he was taken in by a small village in the Twelveswood where he began to learn the art of the bow. He is by no means a master, but he has learned enough to be able to hit a target and continues to practice.
• Thievery: Once, Kerr was a skilled pickpocket, lock picker, and all around thief. While he still maintains these abilities, he often uses them more wisely (if at all) than in his youth.

Knowledge: He has very little in the way of book-learning. Having lived under the tutelage of pirates until he was eighteen, most of Kerr’s talents lay with street smarts and the workings of a ship at sea. He was an adept pick pocket and thief before moving to the Twelveswood and will still employ these skills on occasion, but only in dire circumstances or for the benefit of others. While he can read and write, all of his gains in worldly knowledge happened within the last five years. He is not one to sit down with a book for hours on end, preferring much more physical pursuits. While he won’t readily admit to it, he will settle in for a good story if it is being read or recounted to him instead.

Weaknesses:

Quirks: Unbeknownst to most, he has a love of unusual music. Music from the beast tribes, goblins, even other countries.
