Xavarian Mystrife is a young, excitible, (yet occasionally nervous) duskwight mage, eager to explore 'the surface' world by the darker hours and learn as much as he can about all he can get his hands on. Subjects of Aether and power particularly have his ears, and he takes to studying this prevalent force as it occurs throughout Hydaelyn. Just about everything concerning Aether interests him: how it can be used, what its capabilities are, where something new may be discovered - and more often than not, he can be found studying something or other trying to find any Aetherical connections. Though in his search for knowledge, he hopes to encounter any number of different people along the way, even despite his nervous-seeming demeanor. By trade, he claims to be a mage, an adventurer, 'a scholar of sorts', an artifact / relic hunter, a bookbinder, bookmender, or a scribe, depending on the situation. ... He's even ''actually proficient'' at some of these things. | Xavarian Mystrife is a young, excitible, (yet occasionally nervous) duskwight mage, eager to explore 'the surface' world by the darker hours and learn as much as he can about all he can get his hands on.

Getting information from Xavarian about his origins is like trying to hold a gallon of water with open fingers. If he gives his last name at all, then you're lucky. Instead, the chances favor a pile of vague, quickly spoken and brushed over answers onward to a different subject. | Getting information from Xavarian about his origins is like trying to hold a gallon of water with open fingers.

Xavarian is about a 6 fulms, 8 ilms tall duskwight elezen. His build is a bit more slight than the average elezen might be, having shoulders less broad, and limbs a bit lacking in length. His skin is a dark, charcoal grey, with bright teal eyes that squint and dart about, starkly contrasting the bright, crimson markings around them. The duskwight's face takes a rounded, ovular shape, with a single scar visible on the right of his jaw trailing down his neck just a small ways, and a large, bridgey nose above often-pursed lips. Dark, subtly red-streaked hair is a living mess on his head that only seems to curl further down the ends and flip out whenever it can, and the man appears to have an uneven number of gold piercings favoring one long ear over the other. Looked at closely, he seems to have several odd, almost blotchy scars on the backs of his hands and arms, however clothing typically covers anything more underneath. The clothing Xavarian wears gives him the impression of someone arguably well off – a theme seems to be the colors black and gold, but there are a number of red accents, and a silver symbol that repeats itself often on clasps and motifs on these clothes. Most often, he's seen wearing a split coat, something that falls nicely on either side of the chocobo he travels on. Packs and pouches of all sorts line his belt, staff strapped to his back, and a large tome at his side. On a single shoulder seems to hover an odd, aetherically placed red gemstone of sorts, right in the middle of one of those repeating symbols, large and made of some silver metal like a poor shoulder guard. From certain angles the floating gem looks like an eye… however, it doesn’t appear to have any real purpose, and simply remains in place like any other part of his clothing might. | Xavarian is about a 6 fulms, 8 ilms tall duskwight elezen.

Which would bring us to Xavarian's sense of humor. When he isn't struggling to get some thought across in speech, (or sometimes when he is) he'll often speak with a lilt to his voice and a smirk on his face. He smiles, grins, and snickers fairly often, to be taken as what could be a mischievous (though at times, paranoid) take on life. More often than not, he'll laugh at himself, realizing how his own antics might come off to others, or sometimes be proud or amused of his own vaguer. Granted, what amuses him isn't always what you'd expect to amuse someone, and it may get him some strange (or mortified) looks now and then... When speaking or left to his own devises, Xavarian tends to shuffle around some, lean against something, or sit down if he has the chance. Along with this, he's likely to pull out a large book he always seems to carry with him, and start writing notes mid conversation. Though it'd be soon clear that he's still aptly listening, and will often continue the conversation like this while asking questions and writing simultaneously. Common expressions of the man include any number of amused smirks and smiles, pursed lips, huffing, darting eyes, squinting, and weird faces at what he considers equally weird thoughts. Even though Xavarian will awkwardly approach people that catch his interest, he often feels much more comfortable with little to no company, and in a state of study. Caught alone (or mostly alone) Xavarian often mutters to himself, speaks to Vathen (his chocobo) as though he were a person, or becomes entirely caught up in what he is doing, so he will hardly notice much else around him. When focused on a task, an experiment, or even his own thoughts, he becomes very difficult to distract, and may become agitated if disrupted. A list of traits include: Cryptic, Vague, Mischievous, Curious, Silly, Chaotic, Amused, Determined, Questionable, Dorky, Strange, Paranoid, Verbose, Intelligent and Intellectual, Eccentric, Relativist, Rational, Reasonable, Diplomatic, Morally Grey, Strong-Willed, Awkward, Typically Withdrawn, Introverted, Observant,
Vague History
For Associated Duskwight Clans
For Anyone Else
The ShroudFor quite a time, during the nights, the duskwight might've been seen around Little Solace, spending time with the Sylphs. He always seemed incredibly cheerful with them, pleased to help them how he could, even if he fell behind them at times in their haste. Regardless, he would gladly partake in their customs, join them in (and be subject to) their tricks, give them any number of gifts, and sometimes be seen sitting among a group of them, exchanging riddles. 'Rhyming One' was a name he soon gained around Little Solace, and it never ceased to please him when addressed by it. It's unclear how he got his first inklings of Conjury. Perhaps someone explained it a bit to him during inquiry, or perhaps he made enough trips to spy on 'the walking ones' with the Sylphs to pick something up. But once he found he could use his own abundant Aether for healing, he decided to see if he could figure out more on his own. A lot of trial and error was to be had, and occasionally, his struggles gained small pointers from passing adventurers, or mortified conjurers who caught him during his attempts. It wasn't all that long until he learned the way he'd been going about it was all wrong. There may have been an attempt made to go to Gridania, to learn more of the 'right way to do things'. However, the attempt made was never quite an attempt fulfilled. ThanalanBy the time Xavarian got to the Thaumaturge's guild, he was a mess. However, that very mess made it clear just how much Aether the duskwight had, and the guild was quick to take him in and teach him. Xavarian took to the studies of thaumaturgey like a fish to water, near literally. Some in the guild would say that it really seemed to give him quite a bit of life, and in turn, he devoted long hours to studying, practicing, and discussing theory and application. His ambitions were high, and he was willing to learn from near anyone who would speak to him. Though close to the outset of his studies, his Aether would take uncontrolled turns even when he wasn't meaning to cast. Despite the duskwight's promise and diligence, the guild of thaumaturges also preferred their resources intact. They decided it would be better for him to practice more in the field, to get a handle on his Aetheric inbalances, especially now that he seemed much more lively than when he came in. They would call him back when the time was right. Xavarian gladly took to this suggestion. More RecentlyThe dark duskwight and his charcoal feathered steed may be seen in the night time hours doing gods know what outside the cities. Often times, there is Aether involved. Others, there is climbing over ruins, peering into holes, running all about the land and stopping at various formations, inquiring from unsuspecting travelers about Aetheric anomalies, or talking to his chocobo about their current situation. All the time, there are notes being taken. When he's indoors, it's most likely between an inn, fussing over letters he's gotten, or in the Eagle and Quill, a bookstore that he's partnered his services with in the Mist.
Currently Recently, the duskwight's been any number of places. It seems he's mostly about traveling, wandering, transporting various artifacts, or practicing with his Aether again. He tends to return to the Eagle and Quill as well as the Mizzenmast inn fairly frequently, but it's anyone's guess where Xavarian and Vathen will end up as of late.
