Character

♦ General

---

WIP, this wiki is probably under heavy construction and looks really ugly and bare. Apologies until it -is- done.

Born near the sea, yet as deep as a puddle, Talan Dracht is for lack of a better term, a rube. He's an honest man who sees the world through a brilliant veil of optimism and naivety. Ignorant, or perhaps uneducated, he lacks proper understanding of many 'common' things such as analogies or exactly how to 'read', but he makes up for the lack of proper education with a blinding ray of innocent sunshine. Always smiling, always dealing out thumbs-up, the Hyur isn't afraid to give out the more honest (which tend to be compliments) opinions about the people he meets. Questioning things he doesn't understand, providing (often unnecessary) feedback on the things he do, Talan's an eager aspiring adventurer who is ready and willing to make his own little mark on the world.

♦ Appearance

---

Talan has a natural tan to him, perhaps granted by the lineage of his parents, and seems to maintain the same shade consistently. He sports two obvious scars, one that runs across the bridge of his nose and one that stops just short of his some-what trimmed beard. He takes care in his appearance (unless he's stuck out in the wild!) by grooming and taking regular baths, but doesn't go the extra mile by wearing perfumes or the such.

Combat

Most wouldn't know it, but Talan actually learned how to handle an axe from his father. His training, however, never extended beyond nothing more than using a few techniques on how to overpower an enemy in the face of danger. Dissatisfied with simply knowing how to claw his way out of a situation, Talan began to learn the way of a lance from a 'retired' lancer in Limsa himself. This continued on for some years, ending any official training when Talan left Limsa proper. To this day he hones the skills he knows and eagerly takes up lessons from those better than he at any opportunity given.

Relationships

💘 Crush 💗 Sexual Desire ❤ In love with 💑 In a relationship ● Good Standing ● Neutral Standing ● Poor Standing

Friends ● Calliope Cloverbloom – The young woman is a rather polite, friendly sort, and seems to share in all of Talan's similar outspoken optimism. He regards her as a kind and busy woman, especially with the group she associates herself with and the multitude of interesting people inside it. ● Zealos Hyud – "Healer Man" as he is called by Talan, is a very warm and approachable sort. Having healed Talan on multiple times, including their chance encounter that involved a grenade, Talan holds a high respect for the man's skill and talent. He isn't afraid to call upon Zealos if he requires any aid. ● Rukira Michaelis – The Highlander woman was met through the most bizarre of ways. A date issued out as a fight, from which Talan has developed a rather unique fondness from the woman. She challenges him both physically and mentally and Talan constantly finds himself with new challenges he never thought to contend with.

Rumours

Player Character Rumours

■ "I do worry about men like him. I worry if he's got a brain rattling around in there at all. But that doesn't mean he's bad at all-- quite the opposite, truly. I hope Rhalgr is merciful to him." -- Flora Valerian

■ "If you see him with the flat pan helmet on, put a cookie into the slot. You will gain many years of good luck and happy tidings. He is nice, and patient." -- Syf Kha

■ "Seems like a nice enough fellow, offered me a drink and a slice of cake upon meeting me for the first time. Who could dislike someone like that!." -- Cullen West

■ "He's a really sweet fellow. Rather shy, maybe, but with just a little push he makes fast friends!" -- Aya Foxheart

■ "He got his head stuck in a helmet, called me a siren for trying to help then hugged me for said help, and routinely shoves baked goods into my face to stop me from talking. ... He might be my favorite person, actually, hearing it out loud like that." -- Khoba Lhyr

♦ Footnotes

OOCly, I'm a pretty chill RPer when it comes to anything. As long as it fits lore and makes sense for the character, I'm generally down to roll with any plot, story, or developmental arc with him! From violence to contemplation, any and all themes are accepted here.
