P E R S O N A L I T Y

Vachir tends to be more reserved around those that she has never met, and is usually lacking in company or friends
She is crude, and often rude without knowing, due to a lack of social skills, and often looks away from those she's talking to,
but despite all that she still enjoys other peoples company no matter how small the amount.

Below this is WIP

APPEARANCE ■ Dress. Whatever is comfortable, and easy to move around in, almost always wearing her precious hat. ■ Accessories. Is very rarely ever wearing jewlery. ■ Grooming. Cleans herself to a manageable degree, rarely cuts her hair leading to it being long and unruly.

COMMUNICATION ■ Speech. Familiar and carefree, but can be formal when needed. His style of writing is much more sophisticated than his normal type of speech, although if he’s angry he’ll slip into a colloquial tone. ■ Voice Tone. Not too deep and is normal in volume, though changes depending on the person and situation. ■ Typical Posture. Normally open, arms crossed, or a hand on his hip.

MENTALITY ■ Psychological Issues. Nothing serious, but he relies overmuch on alcohol at times. Struggles with anxiety occasionally. ■ Greatest Fear. Despises skeletons and dying with regrets. He’s not a very courageous person at all. ■ Intelligence Level. More people-smart than book-smart.

EMOTIONAL TRAITS ■ Life Philosophy. Stay alive, have coin in your pocket, and don’t give in. ■ View on Life. L’selle believes that life is something to enjoy and treasure. Because his own life has shifted gears so many times, he feel like each day holds new promise. ■ View on Death. He sees it plainly and feels that it’s not the worst thing that can happen to you, so long as you don’t leave things unfinished. But for some others, especially loved ones, he can’t bear to lose them and won’t except their passing for a time.

LIKES ■ Writing. His greatest accomplishment will always be becoming literate. He loves to write; it helps him cope with what has and is happening to him. ■ Mail. He loves getting messages from friends looks forward to receiving new ones. ■ Triple Triad. A classic card game with a drink? He's game.

DISLIKES ■ Being Alone. Whenever he's by himself he starts to think too much about past mistakes and that just brings up old anxiety. He practically tears himself apart. ■ Other's Stress. The problems of those he treasures (especially money concerns) drive him to make rash decisions. ■ Beastmen. Sahagins are the worst in his mind, but the others are not far behind.

B I O G R A P H Y

■ EARLY CHILDHOOD

L’selle lived with his mother, Emilyn Ran, and father, L’riha Tia, until his dad was lost when Sahagins ambushed a Maelstrom ship. Despite being only seven years old, the void L’riha left festered and caused L’selle to become unshakably devoted to his mother. She did her utmost to take care of her only family by using her modest culinarian skills. Still, without financial support, Emilyn was accosted by others telling her that the only way to support herself and her son was to become a prostitute. Certain that his mother would become secure once rid of himself as a financial burden, L’selle left his mother at the age of twelve.

■ ORBIT

[[File: |left|400x232px|]]

Afterwards, he joined Oribit— a group of outcasts named for their dependence on society but inability to join it. L’selle met Allen Ravenwind and quickly became as close as brothers with him. Estinien Lothaire, the savage head of the party, had established himself in the port city-state’s underground several years prior with the Keeper of the Moon, Senah. Together they took on odd jobs to make ends meet.

Two years later, Senah’s guileful nature attracted a newcomer to the gang. Ralora Nanora, a soft-spoken Plainsfolk boy. Endeared by the younger member’s sharp mind and callowness, L’selle looked after Ralora as an older brother.

Once L’selle was 17 and Allen was 18, Allen decided that he would leave Limsa Lominsa and pursue thaumaturgy in Ul’dah. L’selle declined the offer to study in the desert city-state; he hadn’t the coin to cover the various expenses that were due with such a trip. The night before Allen’s departure, the two share a meal and made toasts for good fortune to mark their split paths. Allen offered to cover the payment and presented L’selle with a cateye stone anklet. A demure trinket, but important and holding the weight of their relationship. L’selle agreed to keep up correspondence via letters but refrained from revealing that he actually wasn’t literate.

With his best friend gone, L’selle steadily becomes detached from the group. Sensing his discomfort, Senah attempted to worm herself into his heart. His patience easily declined to dangerously low levels until she finally set him off. She had revealed that the reason Allen had the funds to move to Ul’dah was because she had sold his mammet.

The device was something the man had been slaving on for as long as L’selle knew him. The puppet held a charm within that halted Allen’s faulty aether stores from deteriorating. Thaumaturgy requires high levels of aether to achieve, and the lack of his mammet spelled disaster for Allen’s practice of the art. His trip was ruined, and the deal had been made before Allen’s consent was given. Disgusted that she had abused his friend’s trust and that he himself had benefited off it it while sending Allen off, L’selle’s disposition crumbles.

■ A NEW LIFE

Now bereft of any ties to Orbit, L’selle could no longer stand to remain in the port city. Plagued with a furious temper and a hangover from the previous night, he flees to Summerford Farms. Too inebriated to form a full attempt at exoneration, he rests in the shade of an apple tree for the day. It isn't long before a colloquial Elezen interrupts the boy’s reverie with a proposition. If L’selle became his bodyguard, he would allow the petulant Miqo’te to accompany him back to Gridania in three days’ time. Sensing the opportunity in the offer, L’selle accepts, but only on the condition that the man teaches him how to read and write.

The Elezen’s name was Arismont Iseterre. He was exiled from the Black Shroud for not showing the proper respect towards the Elementals. According to him, the “buggers don’t even exist.” They were fairy tales created to keep dimwitted children from misbehaving. L’selle didn't care one way or another. His master, in turn, had a large dislike of the way L’selle fought. Insisting that he would drop the contract if the boy didn't abandon his rogue-like fighting style, Arismont offered another deal. In return for instilling his style of lancework into the boy, L’selle would have to use its power to protect Gridania. After all, he was not banned from the city.

■ END OF AN ERA

The Calamity struck as soon as L’selle reached his 19th nameday. While escaping the chaos, he joins a woman named Y’lantaa and other victims in a shelter. When the dead are gathered for burial, L’selle discovers Arismont, who had been missing, among them. He puts nearly all of his savings towards the man’s funeral. Y’lantaa then joins him in relief efforts before taking a job as a waitress at the Bobbing Cork.

To boost the restoration process, more soldiers were admitted in the Order of the Twin Adder. True to his word, L’selle joined the Grand Company as a rankless officer. Since he never joined the Lancer’s Guild and never registered in the Adventurer’s Guild, he was considered an outsider and his fighting style heathenish. Whenever he headed to restock the Twin Adder garrison near Fallgourd Float, L’selle would visit Y’lantaa.

More and more often, he thought of his old home of Limsa Lominsa, wondering how bad the destruction was in Vylbrand. After Y’lantaa’s urging and 7 years, he finally sent his first letter, containing funds from his job, to his beloved mother.

■ COMRADES IN ARMS

After nearly a year in planning, L’selle was able to return to Limsa Lominsa and reunited with his mother. He spent several months in the city-state to reacquaint himself with his old home and enlist in the Maelstrom. Following the trip, he left for Ul'dah to visit the late Arismont's wife, Astrelle. Through one of her weaving networks, he discovered his old friend Allen, effectively ending his circle of miscommunication.

M I S C E L L A N E O U S

He has a pet rat named Al that he originally found while in Gridania. He spoils it beyond belief but swears that it does tricks. It was named after Allen, who originally gave L'selle the nickname "rat." L'selle has a verbal tick he picked up from Arismont. Occasionally he'll use hanging modifiers. ("They're not flatterers, those Gridanians.") Superstitious to a fault, he has a quirk where he always sticks to the "right" side of things. Right shoe goes on first, enters through the right door, and so on. It stems from his father telling him that "left" things are unlucky. Moving from the open Limsa Lominsa to xenophobic Gridania forced him to build up a sort of "fake it until you make it" confidence. L'selle is a really good cook but he generally just whips something up for himself, not a group, so he doesn't think much of the skill.

The reason the way he writes is so different than his style of speech is because he believes literature is an art and should be created as such. His favorite food is caramel but he also likes honey lemons and spicy things. L'selle hates blue cheese and wizard eggplants, and prefers coffee over tea. He has a slight grudge against adventurers for taking up tasks that could be used by the more unfortunate or poor. Odd jobs should be left for those who don't have the ability to specialize in something. L'selle has a nervous habit where he rubs his hands through his hair. He is a night owl and heavy sleeper.

R E L A T I O N S (NPC) ♥ Romantic Attraction – ♥ Sexual Attraction – ♥ Platonic Love – ♥ Family – ✔ Business – ✖ Deceased – ● Positive – ● Negative – ● Neutral – ≈ Unsure Emilyn Ran ( ♥ ● ) - Mother Race: Hyur, Midlander // Age: 46 L'selle's mother. She's a hard worker, but despite her efforts, never gets anything done. Even the culinarian skills she prides herself on are less than stellar, and L'selle quickly surpassed her level once he took to the kitchen. Emilyn is a bit of a pushover and can easily be taken advantage of, but to make up for it she has a strong moral compass which she uses to guide others. L'riha Tia ( ♥ ✖ ) - Father Race: Miqo'te, Seeker of the Sun // Age: 32 (Deceased) L'selle's father that was killed in a Sahagin attack at sea. He was part of the Maelstrom, but never took to the ideals of camaraderie. L'riha chose to keep too himself and operated far more often as a loner. As a candid man, many found his blunt and stern nature to be as offputting as his short temper. Still, those that were close to the man knew that patience was key to evening him out. In times of stress, his bravery and resolve were unmatched. Allen Ravenwind ( ♥ ● ) - Best Friend Race: Hyur, Midlander // Age: 25 Allen is an intelligent, respectful, passionate man and L’selle’s best friend. His surname is his own invention since he never knew his parents and lived on the streets his whole life. His store of mana is faulty so he's been searching for a way to mend it. Allen developed a strong interest in Thaumaturgy and left Orbit when he was 18 to start a new life in Ul’dah. He desired to assist Saint Conach's efforts, but he was deemed not capable enough. After this rejection, he traveled back to Limsa Lominsa and joined the Arcanist Guild, excelling in the art and becoming an accomplished Scholar. Allen now researches independently and travels with L’selle occasionally. Arismont Iseterre ( ♥ ✖ ) - Mentor Race: Elezen, Duskwight // Age: 36 (Deceased) L’selle’s master who brought him to the Black Shroud and taught him how to read and use a lance. He’s a boisterous person that isn't afraid to speak his opinions and enforce them if necessary. Despite loving the Twelveswood, Arismont was expelled from the Gridania since he doesn’t believe in the Elementals. He visited Limsa Lominsa to buy medicinal herbs for his severe asthma and took up L'selle as a body guard. His calm and perceptive disposition helped restore the boy's jubilant nature after the emotional whirlwind of Allen's departure. He was among those killed in the Calamity when the group beneath him fell out in the South Shroud. R E L A T I O N S (PC) Y'lantaa Fhey ( ♥ ● ) - Lover Race: Miqo’te, Seeker of the Sun // Age: 23 Y’lantaa met L’selle in the aftermath of the Calamity and soon became his close friend and beloved throughout the process of rebuilding the Black Shroud and their lives. Her mother was an older woman who migrated to the West Shroud from Thanalan shortly before giving birth to Y'lantaa, her sixth and last daughter. Her mother passed away when Y'lantaa was 15, leaving her alone to became a largely independent, vivacious and devoted lady. She is now a waitress at the Bobbing Cork.

outside interactions. I wish to open RP with him in the near future but I'm not sure if that will be possible until I become better at it.

Note:

■ Information is continuously being added/removed.
