GENERAL APPEARANCE

Common Appearance: A discerning Dunesfolk with a pale complexion, and neatly slicked back grey hair. Despite his youthful appearance, Otto likes to consider himself a mage of the highest order, and generally favours conducting himself as such. In everyday life, he has a confident demeanour, and an unnerving sense calm stillness about him, his clever gold coloured eyes rarely failing to miss a trick. He is usually seen dressed in long, sweeping robes, which tend to conceal his slight and weaker frame, though the nimble grace and agility inherent of his kind more than makes up for this.

Scars & Markings: A pale slit down the centre of his chest.

Voice: A high, silky, eloquent tone of voice. At times brash and ringing, at others gentle and circumspect.

Clothing: Like many Thaumaturges he has a preference for robes in varying shades of black or darker colours, and is never without the same silver ring on his left index finger.

MISCELLANEOUS

• Otto joined the Order of Nald'thal at a young age with a desire to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather.
• Takes his practice seriously, regarding the cycle of death and rebirth with a solemn respect.
• He has been a member of the Outriders for over a cycle, and considers them to be more of a family than his blood-relatives.
• Likes to collect objects of dark, mysterious repute. The shelves in his room are cluttered with strange skulls, creatures preserved in jars of liquid, and other objects of an esoteric nature.

PERSONALITY

A percipient, intellectual Lalafell, Otto is known by his friends for his dark, sarcastic humour and his oftentimes haughty nature. Although recent revelations have made him dispense with some of this internalized hubris, bringing out a more sensitive side previously closed off by himself. He is fiercely loyal and reverent towards those he cares about - most notably his friends and comrades in the Outriders - and has strong convictions about doing the right thing, or at least trying to do so. Despite his natural desire to do good and "play the hero" (as one put it), there is an unbridled darkness within that at times cannot be contained. His sentimental heart makes way for not only intense feelings of love, but also of extreme hatred too, which can cloud his judgment and skew his morality.

Towards strangers he is somewhat guarded, but not unfriendly. He does not suffer fools gladly, but as the realm is seemingly full of them he has become quite adept at handling them, and can be quite charming and silver-tongued when he needs something from them.

COMBAT

Otto prefers to strike quickly, efficiently, and with overwhelming force, unleashing a hell of fire, ice and thunder on his enemies before they have a chance to reach him. In a pinch he will also uses curses to attack the enemy's mental forces, invoking sluggishness or fear. Recently he has begun to experiment in creating his own spells.

HISTORY

The Past Otto was born and raised in Ul'dah; he is the son and middle-child of a semi-affluent merchant trader. The black sheep of his family, he decided from a young age that he would set himself apart from his father's way of life, choosing instead to follow the path of his maternal-grandfather in the study of Thaumaturgy. Initially funded by his grandfather, he studied for nearly ten cycles in the Order of Nald'thal; during this time the Calamity occurred, and like many practiced Thaumaturges in the Order assisted in its protection during the siege on its walls. Soon after this he left the Order to pursue his own path, and what happened during his three cycles is not something he cares to share with strangers.

The Present After whatever happened during those three cycles, Otto returned to try and piece his life together. He sought answers he continued on as an adventurer for some time, before being recruited into the Outriders - a group of heroes for hire. After one cycle he remains with them, his attachment to its members growing to the point where he now considers them to be his true family.

PC Naomi Kett ♦ ღ- Best Friend/Moral Compass Character's Thoughts: "The person most important to me..." The leader of the Outriders, Naomi has been Otto's best and longest friend since his days in the Order and over time he has developed a great fondness for her. He admires her courage and strength of conviction to always do the right thing, even if her idealism is sometimes at odds with his cynical nature. Soon after opening his heart to previously buried emotions, Otto truly realised how much she means to him, and now has very little idea how to handle feelings he does not understand, nor expects to be returned. Grey Hound ♦ - Alcoholic Older Brother-in-Spirit Character's Thoughts: "There's a good person somewhere beneath that vast ocean of whiskey." Naomi's brother, Otto has known Grey for as long as Naomi, although he vanished for some time and has only recently returned. He and Otto have similarities on certain levels, sharing cynical outlooks on life and bearing a lack of patience for fools. Grey is one of the few so far to break the "do not pick me up" rule without being injured, seemingly making him one of the exceptions. T'rahven Tia ♦ - Younger Brother-in-Spirit Character's Thoughts: "Monk with a heart of gold." Both Otto and T'rahven (or 'T') have shared an alarmingly similar experience of betrayal in their separate lives, and so Otto naturally has a feeling of mutual understanding and respect for the monk. They both work well on the field with each other, and in their investigations Otto often acts as interrogator whilst T stands in the background looking tough. S'vera Swift ♦ - Fellow Intellect Character's Thoughts: "A formidable woman..." Although S'vera is arguably more distant than the other Outriders, Otto feels a kinship with her for her sharp mind and slightly sinister nature. The explosive nature of her combat style has resulted in a few cases of friendly fire against Otto in the past, and he has since learned to try and keep his distance from her in battle. He was quite proud to hear that he was one of the few people she actually likes. Shadow Shouvome ★ - Mystery Man Character's Thoughts: "Enigmatic, that one..." Otto and Shadow's relationship has not quite yet become a true friendship, although Otto's light teasing of the Miqo'te suggests a certain fondness. This largely stems from a mission where Otto found Shadow flirting with their target instead of relaying information back to him via Linkshell. Catherine ☠ - Irritation Character's Thoughts: "What is wrong with that one!?" Catherine is one of the few people to have really ruffled Otto's feathers during their time together in the Outriders. A disastrous misunderstanding on the field of battle created a seemingly irreparable hatred between the two, and neither seem able to remain in each other's presence for a few minutes without infuriating each other.

N P C Novovachi Movovachi ♥ ✖ - Father Character's Thoughts: "Insufferable Dolt!" Otto's relationship with his father is strained to say the least. Novovachi is a barely-affluential merchant-trader from Ul'dah with delusions and ambitions beyond his intellectual capacity. He tried to instill his sons with a selfish gil-driven mentality from childhood, and ever since Otto has done everything in his power to be to be his complete opposite. Ishisi Shisi ♥ ● - Mother Character's Thoughts: "Control Freak." Otto takes after his mother side of the family. Ishisi is an outwardly kind woman, but with a hidden streak of what Otto would call familial megalomania. Set on driving her children in what she sees as an appropriate direction for respectful Lalafells of Ul'dah. Her relationship is better with Otto than her husband's, and thankfully she gave up on driving her second son's life early enough for him to walk his own path. Cocovachi Locovachi ♥ ✖ - Older Brother Character's Thoughts: "Idiot." A younger, slightly more charming version of Novovachi, and as such he and Otto do not get along incredibly well. With four cycles in age between them, there was never much brotherly affection between the two, and Otto always had the feeling that Cocovachi felt the need to compete for his parent's affection over Otto. Mimiru Miru ♥ ✔ - Younger Sister Character's Thoughts: "She turned out all right, actually." Otto left to join the Order of Nald'thal when he was young, and so does not have much experience growing up around his sister. A bright, sharp-tongued Lalafell, six cycles younger than him. In Otto's eyes she is the most agreeable member of the family, and he is greatly thankful that her birth diverted both his parent's attention from himself. Abvil ♥ ☠- Maternal-Grandfather Character's Thoughts: "...." Until recently Otto revered his grandfather and modeled himself upon him, for he was the man who inspired him so, setting him on the path of Thaumaturgy.
