For better or worse. ❞ Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice Steel blue Raven black Pale Toned, lean Medium-baritone Bearing Laterality Scars Markings Style Well postured, refined Leads with the right Multiple dotting arms and chest, most prominent from brow to opposing jaw Light dusting of freckles along he tops of his cheeks. Simple jewelry of worn leather, fabrics, and metals. Seems to travel light, with high quality yet well worn belongings and attire Hair & Eyes Dark, raven black hair hangs loose arond his face, left to do as it pleased for the most part. While it not exactly short, Tserende seems to keep it to a mangable length, reaching to just below his jaw at the longest sections. A short, scruffy layer of stubble seemed to linger around his chin and jawline as well. By far however, one of the most attention grabbing features of his face are his eyes -- pale, steel blue and icy. Vibrant in color and expression, they keep track of his surroundings with an acute awareness. Physique & Markings Easily reaching the upper spectrum in height among his fellow Midlander peers, Tserende sports a rather athletic and sturdy build while still remaining lean. Years of presumed training and strife have left him with a carefully toned body, clearly accustomed to some form of intensive manual or martial exertion. Tiny scars dot his pale arms and hands when exposed, along with several more substantial markings marring his chest and back. The most prominent of these however lays plain across his face for all to see, cutting a gruesome line down from one brow to the opposing jawline. Were one to look past that they would find a rather handsome face though, accented with a light dusting of freckles along the tops of his cheeks. Hygiene & Attire Tserende quite clearly goes to some lengths to present himself in the best light possible for all of those who happen across him, always freshly washed and groomed when such is possible. His wardrobe, despite being well worn, is of high quality and well tended, and he decorates himself with a small assortment of simple leather, cloth and dull iron jewelry -- rings, necklaces, and bracelets. while his range of colors may leave much to be desired (tending to linger amongst the darker colors of black, grey, and dulled silver) one would be hard-pressed to criticize his sense of dress. For those finding themselves in closer proximity to him, a subtle cool, minty scent seems to linger about his person, along with the faint smell of tobacco smoke. Personality Psychological Profile Tserende is something of an introvert, preferring to keep largely to himself and those few he cares to involve himself with on a regular basis. That said, he does try to be polite even when out of his element, and he is entirely dedicated to a task once he has said it will be done. Just the same, he is dedicated to those considered a friend -- valuing both loyalty and thoughfulness in his companions, traits which he strives to return in kind. Voice A medium, rich baritone sound which Tserende rarely raises above a polite conversation level. His words can be rather commanding when deemed necessary, and when angered they carry a particularly icy undertone. Obviously educated to some degree, his speech carries the careful pronounciation and clipping of one raised from a young age to be both respectful, and "proper." Philosophy & Mannerisms One challenge and trial after another in the long road to building a better world for both himself and those around deemed worth while, this is what life is when it comes down to simplest details. While Tserende often struggles with the ideas and what exactly he should do with them -- this is what he believes in. For all of the shortcomings and vices he may have, he does desire a just and fair life for those who deserve it. The question is simply, how does one deem who does and does not deserve such? Preferences Likes ● Snow ● Smoking ● Wine ● Quiet evenings and mornings ● Intellectual studies ● Fine craftsmanship ● Hard, loyal workers Dislikes ● Disloyalty ● Loud gatherings ● Laziness ● Mediocrity ● Being out-done ● Being indirect ● Smug individuals Skills ● Experienced miner: Part of his work in training from his younger days, Tserende did his fair lot of "grunt work." This included acquiring materials to help produce and maintain the weaponry and armor of his fellow man. ● Moderate cartographer: Tserende did everything in his power to ease his travels -- he spared no expense in ensuring he knew exactly how maps were drawn and taken down, and how to navigate with them. ● Novice herbalist: Not exactly his specialty, but he knows enough to not poison himself in the wilds at least.

Combat, Abilities & Weaponry Basic Statistics High: Strength, Vitality, Defense Above Average: Charisma, Intelligence, Willpower Average: Agility, Dexterity, Wisdom Low: Aether Aetheric Abilities Mastery: None Expert: Manipulation Average: None Novice: None Weapon Training Mastery: Two-Handed swordsmanship and Polearms Expert: One handed swordsmanship, shields, Hand-to-hand Average: Daggers, Axes Novice: Archery, Guns Combat Relevant Skills High: Parrying, Blocking, Counter-attacking Above Average: Feinting, Pain tolerance Average: Dodging Low: Marksmanship Non-Combat Abilities ● Pain Tolerance: Perhaps gained at the hand of undue abuse, or simply a result of training and dogged determination -- Tserende has a rather high threshold for pain. Judging from the number of scars and nicks which dot his body, one would be led to guess it a mix of all of the above. Grim and unwavering tenacity in the face of harm and danger seems to be rather second nature to him, regardless of what may be put in front of him when it comes to completing a task he has set his mind to. Whether this is a boon in truth or not, is yet to be seen. ● Well Traveled: Originating from Ishgard, Tserende has traveled quite the ways since living there. Acquainting himself with all of the knowledge and know-how of the trailblazers of old was something which was bound to happen eventually, though he is loathe to call himself a master of the field by any means. Regardless, he is quite the seasoned adventurer when it comes to navigation, and his skill with mapping tools is something which only seems to improve the more tests it. Combat Abilities ● Martial Prowess: Serving under a rather small, but no less fanatic in their zeal to serve and provide House, Tserende was thrown into training at a rather young age. He took to combat with the ease of a natural, and his aptitude and success garnered the respect of several peers -- and the ire of just as many others. There was never a day passing in which his abilities were not tested, both with blade and patience. He did not hesitate to take the opportunity to hone either of those things. ● Illusive Opponent: While his body did not lend him the strength of the giants among men, or the agility of those more light-footed, Tserende did make a rather potent use of something he did have. His mind and wit. Make meticulous work of studying and practicing defensive measures and retaliations, he has developed a rather potent array of ripostes, feints, and other counter-attacks into his arsenal. While he was perhaps not the best at pushing a direct assault onto someone, his ability to turn an opponents movements and actions against them was something truly spectacular. OOC Note Combat RP in my opinion should be done either through the use of approximate emotes and responses (X attempts to Y, then Y attempts to X), or through the use of dice. Typically if I do not know a person very well I will ask them to roll dice, if a reasonable outcome cannot be determined OOCly first. This avoids undue conflict between people of similar skill. To those I trust not to abuse the system, approximate emotes in combat may be used. Don't hesitate to send a tell if this is unclear.

History . Disclaimer: I am a firm believer in finding out about prior history IC. Everything here will be presented in a snapshot form just to give an idea of where Tserende has been and what he has been through. Obviously more than this has happened in his life.

Seventh Umbral Era Adulthood This is typically post calamity information, or information since the turn of the era (Domans & others not in Eorzea proper). In Recent Times Moving Forward .
