Basic Info
Compared to many other people moving around Eorzea, Ruinfeild is much older and battle experienced with him about to reach his forty-six birthday. Much of his body is covered in scars or past wounds and that even includes his now recently lost eye. Those that know him see him as a father and even grandfather figure, always giving advice to those who need it. Others who simply watch him a distance see a large Roegadyn Warrior but one who seems to laugh quite often and drink even more, though rumors always hold that what he drinks is nothing but water. If alone, Ruinfeild can be seen going over maps, missives, and even documents so the jobs he has secured for himself and even others goes as smoothly as possible. He carries a gentle and outgoing air about him, though those nearest to him have also warned of his quick temper when it came to those who spoke ill of his past or bring harm to his friends. Even in his age, he carries his axe with grace and skill that constantly has him on the move from job to job all across Eorzea.Always willing to lend out a helping hand, many people have gravitated around him and many find his personality hard to ignore.
History
Other than a veteran of the nearest war, he is unwilling to speak of anything else unless the person wishes to hear it. To him, it is a long story that might bore the younger generation.
Personality
Kind, Caring, Wise, Quick tempered when pushed, and even at times called quite a flirt despite his old age, Ruin has taken life as it comes and is known to be a Roegadyn who leaves the past now behind him and simply focuses on what is going on around him. He doesn't react much to insults nor does he find himself holding his axe out of personal enjoyment. He walks like a man with a purpose and a man who has his own goals and reason to push himself in life.
Affiliations
Starting officer of the Maelstrom, Ruin decided to switch to the Flames in order to branch out and see what other adventures and rewards await him. He has little to no experience with Gridenia but he plans on making that change at some point in the future.
Drift: He considers this company a very close Allie to now only his own company but to his personal life as well. Many friends he has made within the company and though others may not admit it, he considers himself a part of the family just as much as one of their own.
Bento: The company he has found himself a part of, they are his true family even if the entire Bento family tends to throw itself at each other every now and then. Ruin is very protective of those within and knows that many of them are the same for him.
Other Notes
Relationships:
Family: Ruin has had little in the way of a blood family. His father was a miner who worked from day to night to provide while his mother was a dancer for many of the faces in Costa De Sol. There was no such thing as a bad life for him, for he was raised to accept what he was given and give to others if they did not have the ability to do something on their own. After he became a Paladin, his contact with his family was lost and even till today he does not know what happened to him. Assumption points to that they are dead but he does not grief, since he knows he grew into a man they would be proud of. The only other family he ever had was the four other men he considered brothers when they joined the Paladin service. Buried but nor forgotten, he carries with him their trust, honor, and morals. .
Friends: Khuma, TiniStrae, Ivalice, Amaare, Zanana, and the list goes on and on but Ruin has found himself a batch of friends that he not only constantly runs into, but enjoys the time spent even if it means revealing a bit of himself time and time again. Recently, he has begun to meet new people and thus making more friends than he had ever thought was possible. In his old age, Ruin is perhaps considered the oldest and even the most strange due to his personality out of all those that he knows.
Love Life: Only once had he married and that went south very quick. Unable to understand and deal with his work as a Paladin, his first wife ran off with a merchant who traveled and had a much more simple life. He questioned what had gone wrong, but in the end he put it down as being nothing more than just lust rather than love. Since than, Ruin has not married nor kept many relationships, more so after the war. Recently, he has indeed kept an eye out for a capable companion as he is reminded that his bloodline will vanish if he does not settle down again. Though he has come to accept that in his age, many woman would disregard him as a lover and keep him as a father figure, he is told time and time again to keep an open eye for love if it finds him.
Likes, Dislikes, Hates, and Loves
Likes: Drinking water, stories(Giving and listening), giving advice, woman, relaxing, and people watching.
Dislikes: Liars, thieves, Dragons, end of the world manics, and those who play both sides of the table in conflicts.
Hate: Primals, Beer(any), having to wait for his wounds to heal, those who insult another's past without knowing the reasons, and those who claim to be perfect.
Loves: His friends, family, being a Warrior, like minded people, those who are always giving to others, and the people that fight for a good goal or purpose.
Skills
Ruin is something of an accomplished Warrior in his short time, though he has no fear of pulling out his Paladin armor, sword, and shield and going back to his roots even if he renounced it. Alongside that, Ruin is also an accomplished Armor smithing man who is started to increase his skills across the board. A smaller skill he claims to have is seeing two people together and stating if they will end up married or not. Most of his predictions have been right and at times when he stats it loud enough to be heard, it causes him to get into trouble. Ruin also prides himself on being a strategist and leader when it comes to battle.
Goals/Dreams/Morales
Goals His most important goal is to uphold the honor and the lives of the brothers who died in the war. They were his family and they pledged to live on even if the others died in order to show that there is still good in the world of Eorzea.
Dreams Besides the cliche dream to see peace, Ruin has two simple dreams that he is trying to reach. The first being that he is remembered as a man who helped the people when he could, and remained something of a father figure that people could look up to in their time of need. The other is to have a family of his own so that his bloodline can survive into the future. Though Ruin does also hope for a family to understand what the true feeling of love can mean since his first marriage did not show it.
Morales Always give and never take. Aid those who need it but always defend the ones who are being attacked the most(as long as they are innocent). Never judge unfairly and always allow yourself the time to relax and collect yourself. Enjoy the life you are given while trying to make it last as long as possible.
Fears One of his biggest fears is allowing his bloodline to die. Being the only son with no siblings, Ruin is praying that he find a wife and perhaps soon, so he can have a family look after and carry his family name.
Dragons...by the twelve does Ruin hate dragons. Larger than him and three times more deadly, Ruin has seen their numbers grow and it gets to him knowing that he has to constantly fight them.
Isolation is another big fear he has developed. Alone and having only yourself as company, he has seen what it can do to the mind and feels sorry for those who are forced into such a state. Many times he finds these people during the jobs he is given or when he is simply following rumors of someone such as that. Ruin refuses to become one and thus tries to surround himself with friends as often as possible.
