Piers Hayward

[edit] Character Relationships Rumors RP Hooks / Public Info Art and Screenshots Annotations  Piers Hayward Gender Male Race Hyur Clan Midlander Citizenship Gridanian Age 20 Height 5'10" Weight 181lbs Occupation Shield for Hire, Rendezvous Host Server Balmung Appearance & Personality With a strong back and broad shoulders, it's no surprise that Piers grew up on farming. The lean muscle packed onto his gymnastic frame makes it readily apparent that Piers' build is just as much the product of his own determinations as his labor intensive upbringing. Often being described as a "floof", Piers' dark blond hair perpetually looks like he intends to get it cut the next day (though he never does). Mossy green eyes and a warm smile can be easily found whenever his hair hasn't fallen across his face. While Piers carries himself confidently, the near constant look of curiosity and wonder betrays the fact that many experiences outside of the Twelveswood are still new to him. Easygoing and compassionate, he's always quick to share a warm smile with friends and strangers alike. Some people have unfortunately come to misunderstand Piers' positive outlook and emotional honesty as simple-mindedness.   Color Key ♥ In A Relationship: Piers is romantically involved with this character. ♥ Romantic Attraction: Piers is romantically interested in this character. ♥ Platonic Love/Family: Piers considers this person family. ♦ Friend: Piers considers this person his friend. ♦ Friendly Acquaintance: Piers considers this person mostly friendly, or as an ally. ● Good Standing: Piers has no specific feelings about this character, however they left a good impression. ● Neutral: Piers has no specific feelings about this character. ● Bad Standing: Piers has no specific feelings about this character, however they left a bad impression. ♠ Dislike: Piers doesn't consider this person a friend, and will talk if needed, but try to avoid them. ♠ Hate: Piers consider this person an annoyance, and will try to avoid them.

NPC   The Sledge ( ♠ ✔ ) - The 'Mhigan Mongoose Piers had an unfortunate encounter with this physically imposing Highlander during his first visit to Ul'dah. One thing leading to another, Piers found himself backed against a cliff by an Amalj'aa. Nearly a year later, The Sledge seems to have plans to turn Piers into a Coliseum contender. PC   Cailleagh Hayward ( ♥ ) Piers' younger sister. In the years leading up to the loss of their home she worked alongside her brother, looking after livestock and helping with the harvest. After moving their family into the city proper, she began working at a nearby tavern to help pay living expenses. Cailleagh has only recently begun speaking to her brother again.   J'lyneth Khal ( ♥ ✔ ) Being both Piers' best friend and the other half of what's arguably the worst adventuring duo that Eorzea's ever seen, J'lyneth Khal holds more of Piers' trust and affection than anyone else in the world.

While it's taken a while for Piers to get to know her, it became quickly apparent that the two are kindred spirits. If you ever find yourself caught up in one of their conversations, it'd be best to brace yourself for a whirlwind of colloquial rambling.   Batu Qalli ( ♦ ✔ ) The woman behind the Rendezvous Idol Project; Batu is a grouchy Xaela who (luckily) has a soft spot for Piers. Impressed by his natural dancing ability, Batu has appointed herself as Piers' vocal coach with the hopes of turning him into one of the key players in her side project. Despite her crotchety nature Piers still counts Batu among his friends - as evidenced by his willingness to aid her in personal matters far beyond the doors of Rendezvous.   Nihka Mioni ( ♦ ✔ )   Klynestyn Ketteram ( ♦ ✔ )   Clalaris Sil Laris ( ♦ ✔ )   Zanzan Yanzan ( ♦ ✔ )   Flora Valerian ( ♦ ✔ )   Xehn'a Hmyr ( ♦ ✔ )   Arblis Ellhis ( ♦ ✔ )   N'taeyl Yhash ( ♦ ✔ )   Akhutai Sagahl ( ♦ ✔ )   Nananomi Nomi ( ♦ ✔ )   Nonope Nope ( ♦ ✔ )   Khira Lhizahla ( ♦ ✔ )   R'shesha Otharn ( ♦ ✔ )   Rosaire Ledigne ( ♦ ) Common Rumors "I'm pretty sure that's his sister working over at the Carline Canopy." - Vendor in Gridania "His poor mother.

What did he tell you?" -J'lyneth Khal "Mr. Piers is a very strong person, isn't he...? He once took me on a tour of Ishgard, and he didn't seem tired even once! He's been very helpful to me. I mean, ah, isn't he a helpful person?" -D'ranmaia Shenn "Kinda feels like talking to myself sometimes? In a good way. Except he seems to get it, and smiles better, or something…" -N'taeyl Yhash "Despite his friendly looks and penchant for caring and understanding, he is a devious and brutal foe- evidenced by our thousand-year struggle for supremacy." -Arblis Ellhis Piers might seem interesting to you if: Art!
