PERSONALITY / APPEARANCE

Reserved and quiet are words his friends often used to describe the man in passing. He chooses not to meddle in the affairs of most, but isn't above stepping in if leadership or help is required. He is fairly self-serving, full of curiosity for the world and driven by the pursuit of knowledge.

While not wholly dismissive, most of his relationships with others remain at a surface-level, handled clinically and with a certain bluntness that others might mistake for carelessness. In truth, he has difficulties expressing most deeper emotions, choosing instead to deflect with amusement or a straight-to-the-point attitude.

Quite tall for a miqo'te, Kodi stands a few ilms shy of six fulms with a fairly toned body gained almost purely on rigorous field gathering. His golden brown skin is dusted with freckles over his face, shoulders and back, three dark circles painted at the outer corners of his eyes in matching pigment to the checks that span from the inner corners. Bearing few scars, the most notable is the cross-mark on his left cheek set back on his jaw and just below his eye -- something gained during a time he does not remember well.

The tips of his ears and tail are darkened by a deep cherry wood hue, fading into a soft brown and then to the creamy white of his hair and fur. Wearing his hair short, he keeps it slicked up into a fluffy side part, exposing the medium brown tones that grow mid-way down his head and to his neck. When dressing himself he prefers simplicity, settling for "business casual" with comfortable blouses, tight pants and high boots, sometimes with a lab coat. His eyes, a piercing turquoise glow comparable to pure aether itself, are often complimented in small pieces of jewelry that adorn necklaces, belt buckles or brooches.

LIKES

Experimentation Not the mad scientist kind, but as a casual hobbyist. Things like creating longer lasting and brighter dyes for hair and clothing, or creating tea blends that give relief to pain, clear the mind or aid sleep.
Lazy Days Calm days with mild weather where he can bask in the sounds of nature or his companions enjoying themselves while he's working are his favorite.
Paperwork Though he loves getting his hands dirty with alchemy, sometimes sitting back and signing some bills keeps him content. Scrutinizing legal mumbo-jumbo for ridiculous demands is also a favored hobby.
Reading & Writing Ever a glutton for knowledge, Kodi can and will read just about any book. Using all of his collected information, he turns around and writes many books on random topics, such as gysahl greens flourishing more with music, or aldgoat bleat volume.


DISLIKES

Liars Ever a lawful man, Kodi takes lying to heart, especially when someone's health or safety is compromised as a result of intentional misinformation. It takes a lot for him to trust again after large or multiple lies.
Allagan or Garlean Technology Due to past experiences as a child, the sight of such things makes him incredibly tense. He will work with said technology, but things like visiting any castrum will send his heart into a panic.
Close Quarters He is extremely averse to people who have no concept of personal space. Not much makes him outwardly irritated, but he will become extremely tense in the presence of someone is hands-on without having earned his trust first.
Not Being Good Enough Being assumed stupid, untrustworthy or put on the sidelines undermines all of his hard work, or so he feels.


QUIRKS

Echo Possesses a form of the Echo that opens his mind to endless information, which he can remember to every fine degree. Such an advantage with his echo does not come without its disadvantages however; Overuse of his infinite knowledge will give him migraines at best, and incapacitate him at worst. Prioritizing old information cannot be done quickly during high-stress situations.
Curt It isn't that he doesn't enjoy talking to people, but due to his business-like nature, he keeps most of his conversations short and to the point. He becomes easily embarrassed if he prattles about topics of interest.
Idle Hands, Idle Voice He has a terrible tapping habit he scarcely realizes, due to it surfacing primarily while he's fully invested in his work. He also tends to hum if he's in good spirits and believes he's alone.

OOC INFO

Kodi Lhiro • 21↑ • Mateus / Balmung

I am a casual roleplayer in Eastern Standard Time, and I prefer to RP in private among my close friends, though I occasionally pop into public RP areas/events for fun. Though Kodi isn't a terribly engaging character due to his nature, I'm totally up for headcanons and casual plots involving him.

As always, IN CHARACTER is not OUT OF CHARACTER. Kodi isn't inherently cruel and he'd be hard pressed to exhibit such behavior, but he doesn't react well to certain character types. This means nothing toward you as the person playing your character, and I do not share my character's views.

VERSES

Kodi has a myriad of AUs, but has two main plots -- one I RP in game, and one I RP among friends that follows the storyline with the Warrior of Light.

WoL Arc - Where he follows Armi, the Warrior of Light, as a companion alongside his lover and comrade Lukkas. You can read more about that here under the spoiler.

Free Arc - The same thing as above, minus Armi being the Warrior of Light and with Kodi instead staying within his quaint Mist home as a pharmacist/alchemist.

RP LIMITS

Seeing as how I'm old as hell, I prefer my RP partners to be 18+. Even if I have no intention for my character to develop romantic feelings for others, I can't speak for how another person's character may feel about my own, and it'd be a little weird.

DO - Anything from light-hearted, casual to more mature and dark themes welcome. Temporary incapacitation and injury, of varying degrees, is ok. Friendships, conflict and tension are ok.

ASK - Drastic character changing situations (marring, long term imprisonment, etc). Any extremely dark, violent, gorey or sexual themes are to remain implied, as I have no interest in writing them in great detail.

DON'T - Maiming that will cause permanent debilitation and permanent character death. ERP or sexual headcanons is also a no-go.

RP HOOKS

He runs a small pharmacy in the Mist and can aid the ill or house the transient temporarily. He may also have dispensed your character's medication in the past.
Both of his foster parents (Sun mother & Moon father) are Maelstrom soldiers, which means he has close ties to the Maelstrom command and may have been seen shadowing medics or delivering medication.
He does most of the shopping for the households he belongs to while his companions are out and about, and travels equally between Ul'dah, Limsa and Gridania's markets.
He people watches often, and enjoys the din of a busy bar or restaurant while writing.
A J' tribe member may see his mother or father's face in him. (This one is fairly important to his story and will need to be plotted/discussed beforehand.)
