General Information
Now we're apart, though not through choice. Do we stay mute, or raise our voice? - maybeshewill

A self-styled knight in a world far too tired of good folk dying, Rialian strives against the unfathomable Light to try to bring a peace to the land of Norvrandt. Behind orange eyes lies a pain most familiar to the people around him, the pain of loss, of being surrounded by death and dismay.

And yet. He persists.
Stay with me, alright? Your story doesn't end here.

Hair & Eyes
Rialian's hair is medium-length, hanging to his collar and usually well-layered, with a bit of unruly hair poking up near its center. His eyes are yellow-to-orange and piercing in their gaze, often difficult to look directly at. He has one facial scar on his left cheek, which nearly reaches his nose. Hints of other scars can be seen right at the edge of his collar.
Physique & Markings
Rialian stands with the bearing of a front-line leader. He is tall and confident, rarely if ever slouching. He is muscular but only to a limited extent. His body is more built for speed than power, and while he has higher than average strength it is his agility and precision that often wins the day. Were one to see him without a shirt, they would find a criss-cross of many different scars from many different battles. Hardly an ilm of his chest is unscarred, and he has the look of someone with twice his lifespan in battle. He has no visible tattoos or identifying markings.
Hygiene & Attire
Rialian bathes at least every other day, and keeps a clean visage when available to do so, though he's mostly unaffected by the inability to do so. He seems to have a cologne preference, which comes out to a woody, oriental smell throughout the day - starting with a cinnamon-styled scent and ending on sandalwood. He is usually found in plate armor, which makes his insistence on having a good cologne somewhat peculiar given his usual metallic scent. Clothes outside of his armor vary heavily.
Personality
Psychological Profile
Rialian's outward psychological profile is that of a protector. He speaks in heroic and noble tones, always seeking to inspire those around him to better and better heights. However, just under the surface lies deep and painful emotional scarring, almost solely driven by the loss of his wife and home twenty years ago. Since then he has been a wanderer standing at the front, seeking something new to live for.
Voice
Rialian's voice generally settles into an orotund pattern, having a full and deep tone designed to draw attention and keep it. He would make an excellent public speaker, and is prone to short inspirational speeches before battle. It is a naturally pleasing voice and is generally easy to listen to without too much trouble.
Philosophy & Mannerisms
"There must always be heroes." Even in a world where the very concepts of heroism are mocked, Rialian strives to meet them. Throwing his life away is not on the list of actions he desires - in fact, he seems to have a deep dislike of sacrificial tactics and will work to ensure as many come home as possible. Save as many and as much as you can. Ensure the best lives allowed.

Rialian tends to fit the tropes of a Dexterity-type Paladin. He's skilled with faster weapons and relies on his agility and maneuverability over brute force. He can't take a lot of hits compared directly to his fellows, but he doesn't often need to.

❣♦✔ - Sayuri Cinderblossom - Despite a rather peculiar last name (which he doesn't really get to comment on) this mage reminds him of gentler times, and has fire and spirit aplenty. She too has lost much to the accursed Light, and in their losses they find a common ground. She began as the defacto leader of their company, but the stresses and inexperience of the position lead to her passing it to Rialian instead. The two seem to have a mutual attraction, though what they have done with it none will say.

❣♦✔ - Rena of Kisne, once Neva of Kisne - This Viis woman was a crafter of significant renown in Eulmore, though after leaving the city it took him twenty years to see her again. While some underlying attraction to the woman does exist, Rialian respects her more for her craft than anything, and she is the creator of virtually all of his equipment. Specifically, her maker's mark sits on his focusing sword and mirror shield, allowing him to be the hunter of angels that he is.

✔ - Fireborn - A free company Rialian stumbled into, the aimless but dedicated company needed steel and shield at its front, and he was happy to help. He finds himself leading from the front quite often, which is fine. It's a natural position for one such as him. After a time within their ranks, Sayuri found that the difficulties of leadership were too much to bear on her own. She offered the lead position, something he has henceforth accepted.

ღ❣♦✝✔ - Tanwynne Silverblade, nee Fireheart - The First Love, The Catalyst. Rialian could have spent the rest of his days with Tanwynne, a fiery mage born into a difficult family. What was a childhood friendship blossomed into a passionate romance and eventual marriage. He was her knight, her love, and she was the fire that filled his soul. He would have been happy to die with her engulfed in her final flames, but she never gave him a choice. Yet another lost to those damned Sin Eaters, angels in name only. Her loss twenty years ago set him on the path he walks to this day.

RP Info


Character-Section-Banner.png
Location & Probability
Lands of habit - or lack thereof.
The Crystarium: 20%. While this is his home, the hunter in him keeps him moving.
Eulmore: 0%. Exiled from his home, Rialian has no desire to return - even to see his family.
Various fields of Norvrandt: 60%. In an effort to save the land, Rialian often is found in the field.
Hospitals and bases: 20%. If not slaying Sin Eaters, he prefers to heal and help those he can.
Affiliations
Take care that you have a reason to know this information.
Fireborn: A freshly minted company of heroes, Rialian joined after an escort mission to put their original leader to rest.
Crystarium Guard: Rialian technically belongs to this organization, but serves mostly when need is highest. He prefers independent work, though that is changing...
IC Inventory
The following items are things that this individual carries on their person at all times. These are noted for pickpockets, and those watching her closely. This information is meant to be a prompt for insight and is not to be meta-gamed, though feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in RP (pickpocketing, a search, etc) with use of a simple /tell.

Coinpurse: A simple coin purse made of soft leather, containing a few hundred gil.

Focusing Blade and Mirror Shield: A pair of weapons made by Rena of Kisne. The Focusing Blade is made of ice crystal reinforced with magic, and is firm as steel. It also allows Rialian to focus his Light Magic through it, serving as a fully functional focus for his spellcasting and enabling his combat casting. Meanwhile, the Mirror Shield uses similar crystals and an alchemical silver backing to allow Rialian to reflect magic. It serves best against the light beams of powerful Sin Eaters, and loses effectiveness on less direct spells.
RP Limits
I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but even I have my limits. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no, and it means don't ask.
I will play .

RP Hooks
While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content.

Player Note
There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
