Basic Info

Born to Ala Mhigan migrants in Wineport, his family carved out a living providing support and protection to the oft-ignored vineyards. Harper was encouraged by his parents to learn a trade or seek some form of education - to avoid embroiling himself in combat or conflict. When he was old enough, just after his 17th namesday, Harper moved into the city to learn the ways of metallurgy. It became apparent that Harper possessed an aptitude for smithing, and spent the best part of eight summers practising his craft. His father died shortly before the battle at Cartaneau Flats, falling at the hands of kobolds. In the aftermath, Harper begged his mother to move to the relative safety of Limsa and live with him. The chaos and uncertainty scared him - he didn't want to lose another parent. His mother - stubborn and steadfast, and not one to shy away from a fight - refused and remains in Wineport to this day.

Harper is an inquisitive man, with a thirst for knowledge, and he harbours a desire to learn more about his heritage and his parents' city of origin, Ala Mhigo. Despite reservations about leaving his mother behind, Harper has decided to travel to Thanalan and seek out his displaced kinsmen that inhabit Little Ala Mhigo in an attempt to feel closer to his roots.

Appearance & Personality

Harper is a brutish looking man, square and muscular, and gives an intimidating first impression. He can be heavy-handed and a little clumsy on account of his size, which leaves him ill-suited to the intricate trades, such as weaver or goldsmith, but lends itself perfectly to his job as an armoursmith. His stature, however, does not befit his personality, for Harper is a calm and quite reserved individual. He is attentive and somewhat of a perfectionist, and takes pride in everything he does.

• Motto - If you're going to do something, you might as well do it properly.
• Likes - the smell of the sea; the sharp clang of hammer on metal; freshly made La Noscean toast; fine red wine; men; women; reading; fishing
• Dislikes - kobolds; being stereotyped; conflict; arguing; his lack of worldy experiences

OOC: Harper is a brand new toon, and as such I'm limited as to what I can do with him logistically (i.e. I can't yet leave Limsa), but if I'm online, feel free to /tell and we can get some ideas going in the meantime.
