Character
Versoix is a laid back, relaxed, verging on somewhat lazy Duskwight, who despite many stereotypes people have for his kin, is rather warmhearted and kind. He can sometimes be a little dense, and his outward friendliness often clouds his judgement of others when he meets them. Being a Courier, he knows his way around a map and the general lay of the land, although is quite new to the isle of Vylbrand. In short, he is cheerful, carefree, and is rarely seen without a smile on his face.
He's fairly booksmart and good with numbers, often helping his father out with the Goldsmithing buisiness he's ran for almost twenty cycles. More often than not, though, he doesn't tend to voice it. Not through shame or anything like, merely not seeing it as anything of great import. He's dabbled both with blades and aether, and found he vastly prefers the latter, being a damn sight more talented with it, at least to his knowledge.
Whilst born in Gridania, he's not custom, and honestly, not so fond of their ways, and is pretty thankful in some respects he was braught up in Ul'dah. Whilst completely aware of the more... Shady customs the city harbours, he's ever fond of it, and quite proud to say it's where he hails from. Even if it might not entirely be true.
Since a little while back, he joined the Kindred, working within the mercentile division, whilst still continuing his out of company work as a Courier. Meeting new friends, and seeing many new faces... And keeping a promise to a friend.
And he intends to do it with a smile on his face.

Behaviour
Speech- Generally casual speech, softly spoken with a warm tone. Versoix doesn't have an especially deep voice for his race, and often uses slang in his wording. He tends to mumble if something causes him to be shy, and has a habit of calling most women he meets "Luv". He tries his hardest to keep his foul mouth from running amok when minors are present, and somehow in this mish-mash of nonsense, remembers his manners. Usually.
Mind- Generally doesn't open up about much of its contents, and most often remains level headed throughout challenging situations. He is deceptively intelligent, given his demeanor and speech, and often thinks and plans ahead for circumstances which might not be apparent until the last moment. He is generally quite mentally stable, and holds his composure well unless something has reason for him to withdraw.
Emotions- Outwardly happy and cheerful, most often seen with a smile on his face. He's carefree and often found laughing. This doesn't mean to say he's incapable of feeling sad. In fact, he's felt it more than he lets on. He's just more determined to stay upright with it all. He keeps his emotions in check pretty well, but that doesn't mean to say he'd berate those who didn't. When it comes to anger... Which would be a feat in itself, considering to what extremes he goes to to ensure this doesn't happen, he's quite loud, explosive, and nothing like you'd expect.
Appearance
Tall, deathly pale, with a mop of long red hair. He's not vastly tall for an Elezen, but he's certainly above average. A tall, lithe yet sturdy frame is the result of many cycles of hard labour, and as such, he's pretty well toned from it. A veritable mass of deep red hair falls down his face, rarely getting much attention aside from being brushed every now and then, seemingly to get longer and longer due to his reluctance to have it trimmed. Icy blue eyes seem to be forever wide with either curiosity or a hint of fear, and if reading a book, often behind a pair of glasses. A single, diagonal scar marrs his features, reaching from the top of his forehead, across his brow, the bridge of his nose and down his cheek.
Attire
Attire is something Versoix doesn't put a great deal of thought into. Generally, so long as it's loose, comfortable, and not stifling him in the heat of Thanalan, he's pretty content. Long thighboots generally aid him in walking the long distances his work demands, and fingerless gloves keep his hands in at least some decent condition. He very rarely wears jewelry, if at all. Most of his attire consists of reds and blacks, but recently, greys and blues have began to work their way in much thanks to Leanna. Being short sighted, like many of his Duskwight bretheren, he often has a pair of glasses at his disposal. If he finds himself to be in a more... Dangerous situation or contract he likely can't flee from, he does have armour to use if the need arises.
Combat
Not something Versoix is remarkably well versed in by any stretch, combat is not something he is too familliar with or at all comfortable with. He knows it to be necessary in some cases, but he's still trying to find his niche, if he must indulge in combat at all.
Sword
The first thing Versoix was ever taught to use and arm himself with, the blade is something he's always had mixed feelings with. He showed some talent with it, but evidently was overshadowed by his brother, thus discouraging him. Though his elder sibling and closest friend constantly dragged him along to training sessions still, he grew more and more reluctant to learn. This all came to a head when the accident happened, taking a sword to his face and critically injuring him. He hasn't picked one up since.
Aether
Something he knows from his mother that he's got a great potential for, but alas, is too frightened to use it. He has seen what have become of many Thaumaturges in training, but thanks to persuasions of many, he's still learning, albiet slowly. More of a talent he is nursing than an actual combat ability for the moment, he is able to conjure up flames to serve minor purposes such as setting something alight. He's trying as he can to stick to something, for a change.

Family
- ♥●★ Arialle La'louvre : Versoix's beloved mother, who has done her utmost to care for her family. He is on good terms with her, as he is with all of his family. She's very fond of his decision to take up Thaumaturgy, and supportive of almost anything he does, as a mother should be. This doesn't mean, however, she's above kicking either of her two sons back into place should the need arise. Especially considering his language.
You'll meet few moms better than mine. Seriously, she's awesome. And y'didn't 'ear me or m'brother swearin' like troopers in th'Quicksand. At all. Nope. Please don't tell 'er.
