[edit]
A roughly Middle-Aged wandering hunter, who travels from job board to job board and rumor to rumor to offer his services. A man of the land and ally much to himself and those who either offer him pay for his services or he finds a liking in. Zazi's premier profession is that of a beast hunter. Often taking contracts and gil to hunt down troublesome beasts that plague the local civilization. This tends more often than not to be beasts of the Voidsent, in which he has a very high expertise in. His trademark red shades even being a tool against the petrifying stares of Ahriman and Succubi. As a result he's grown a loose reputation for being a voidsent expert. Taking his job seriously and taking any chance to learn more about these strange beasts from his connections with morally grey mages and scholars. His experience and matured personality give him a real aire of authority and professionalism that he prides himself on. Tracking abilities are a bonus to his repertoire, and as comes with his age and experience, a healthy proficiency in weaponry. With this proficiency, he uses what he's learned and his experience to Mentor up and coming adventurers and those in need, usually for a fee as well. Essentially Zazi is a man of many paths seeking more travelers on the road to enrich said path.
Average height of 5"11, A stocky Highlander as is common place. His muscular body is defined by his travels and the wild. Often dressed down in rather unassuming attire he doesn't mind getting torn or dirty. Often in a dark wine red or shades of brown. His tanned skin tone on his weathered and sturdy flesh is interrupted and marred by a decent amount of scars gained from his lines of work. His face is a sturdy and defined one with a thick jawline covered by a wild black beard. Dark black hair falls to his shoulders and down the sides of his face to meet his beard wildly. The tips and various strands turning an off grey to show his early 40s age. His deep black eyes are often covered by a trademark pair of ruby shades that not only hides where his eyes look but also cancelling the magic gazes of voidsent and naer-do-well mages. Two scars are on his rugged face only giving a sample of the rest that map his muscular frame usually hidden behind long sleeved worn tunics.
His physical appearance changes rarely, though his attire can based on what he's oft to explore. While he has a healthy enough gil flow to dress nice, he often finds more comfort in his worn and tested wares. Weaponry also sits on his or waist at most times. His weaponry can change based on what is more effective for the hunt he is currently on, but is more often than not a fairly decorative two-hand blade, or a blood stained great axe.
Aspects That Stand Out:
A sorted History with vague details of when and where, most of which kept tight lipped by the rogue wanderer. While it is always alluded to that the warrior had some training in his past to help facilitate his skills, it's never explicitly told. Apart of a band of armored squadron in his earlier years mixed up and sorted in Voidsent affairs. Zazi belonged to a loose band of bodyguards who sought to help the Scholars of Eorzea better understand the various types of Voidsent. Mingling with some other well known families and masters in the art, he managed to pick up quite a few pointers. Still a green rookie at the time, Zazi donned scale armor and heavy weapons to help protect against his liege. Though this mercenary life didn't last for more than a few cycles as the expeditions began to wane in the days of the encroaching Garleans. Seeking not to wrap himself up in the burgeoning chaos that would soon come with Ala mhigo, the naturally Thanalan born Highlander split off from the established Voidsent hunters for a time where he dabbled in other professions to make a gil to earn his way. A working man with adaptability, his early 20s were spent improving his martial skill and diversity in the Flames and as a freesword to adventurers and the like. It wasn't until the Garlean encroachment and Dalamud forced him back to his roots. Reigniting with his band of voidsent hunters and resistance fighters, forming a small regiment, he traveled into battle against Garlean forces for several days before the Calamity. From the ashes of the event, the war going cold on both sides, he once again took his leave with more knowledge, experience, and scars. He felt himself needing of improvement and soul searching. Wandering as a lone wolf, he began to put his skills and knowledge to the test and to his benefit. All the skills and knowledge he learned in his expeditions he put to use as a wandering Hunter and tracker. Going from Tavern to Tavern, picking up hunt bills and helping various farmers and other land workers rid themselves of pests and beasts for a minimal charge. This would account for many of his years - as well as solitary training of his body and mind in the desolate and harder regions of the world to better facilitate his mastery and mind. Reaching his early to mid 40s, he continues his wandering. Earning gil by his services as well as trying to pass knowledge onto the younger adventurers and freeswords of the post calamity age. His senses and expertise being honed to a razor sharpness, he also now takes it upon himself to train those in need if possible. His thirst for knowledge and enlightenment does continue as well, as he learns of tip offs for improving, he follows said leads as well as occasionally keeping up with old comrades and friends. Especially those within the old circle of Voidsent hunter families. Becoming something of an 'old master' and a good friend to those who still seek to rid Eorzea of the continuing invasion of Voidsent. He can usually be found now, travelling upon his grey feathered chocobo from homestead to homestead. Seeking out hunts and opportunities to pass on skill and learn. Usually the one to be sought out than to do the seeking, any of such who wish to search for the illusive yet well-respected Silverlaine name, need only look in the right place.
While well versed and in several bands of several causes in his lifetime, it is oft naught that Silverlaine was a lone wolf at heart. Always a respectable gentleman and rugged hunter. Many old acquaintances remain friends for life and can oft speak glowing reviews of the loyalty and conviction of Zazi. Always joking that his work is more a friend than a human, Zazi can usually challenge any such perception on a whim. Though it would not be alien of concept to say he can be stalwartly reserved much of the time, like a figure of wisdom and respect. Speak to older friends of his that have shared a drink or two with him and you may get another tale. Many things stay secret to the man, including any flings, fleeting romances, or passions of the heart. It is rumored he once shared a deep understanding and care for a beautiful Ishgardian Elezen Woman. Noble of blood and fair of heart, it is uncertain why the woman never became more. There was also a known incident in Voidsent expedition logs that struck a chord quite hard with him and other hunters... the frailty of life in a dangerous profession. Where does Zazi seek companionship then? Only time and the right woman may tell. For now he is his own man, committed to his mission in life and the joys of life before him.
Notable hunts and Achievements. UNDERCONSTRUCT
Logs of the expeditions and Voidsent beasts Zazi has encountered. -Notable infusion of dark aspected aether. Common among the voidsent hunting families. Caused by Void portal incident. Black burns on hands that have since mostly healed and are muchly unnoticeable.
Professional, straight forward, a bit blunt, but also capable of joking about. He is quite often the mentorly type, not exactly talking down to others, but coming across as professional in his words and actions. Being a wandering man of his stature and skill, he has had many encounters with different personalities. He can usually keep up with most and often offers words of advice or encouragement to those who deems needing of his help. To those who would try to cross him, he can be stern and threatening easily. His whole demeanor is usually that of a mature and spoken expert. Collected and nearly always clam even in predicaments of great stress. He gives off the impression that he has seen quite a lot and weathered quite a many hardships that he has learned to deal with in a collected manner. He has low tolerance for thieves and fast talkers. He has an old style of charm when it comes to a woman that catches his eyes, and is much like the roguish knight archetype.
