Sozen’s Bio
Race: Au ra, Xaela
Age: 22
Height: 7’ 5”Skills: Extreme physical strength, quick reflexes, abundant aether, skilled hunter/tracker, master of improvised weaponryWeaknesses: no magical talent, slow to learn, poor reading/writing skillsPersonality: Very shy; he will rarely speak unless spoken to. Full of energy; cannot sit still for more than a few minutes at a time and prefers to take action rather than contemplate solutions. Slow to trust others but fiercely loyal to those he knows well.History: Sozen was born the third child of seven to a family of Xaela living near Ghimlyt on the border of Ilsabard and Aldenard. Sozen’s family had been loyal to and served the Garlean Empire since his grandfather’s time, and Sozen entered the Garlean military at age 15, following in the footsteps of his father and older siblings. When he was 18, however, he deserted the army along with his sister after a grueling series of skirmishes against the Ala Mhigan Resistance, and became a hunter and adventurer. He now wanders Eorzea as a paladin, seeking powerful foes and assisting anyone he meets along the way.
RP Hooks
Sozen’s a chronic wanderer and gets into all sorts of trouble hunting beasties. He prefers to hunt alone, but every now and then he works with other trackers or signs onto a team to bring down a nasty mark. Perhaps you’ve seen him on a mission or run into him in some dark lair.If you come from one of the Ala Mhigan villages in upper Gyr Abania, you may know his troublemaker of a brother, Sahir. He’ll be eager for any news of the man’s whereabouts, and to apologize for any discomfort you may have suffered at his hands.If you offer to feed Sozen, he’ll most likely overcome his initial hesitation to interact. Who knows, you might even strike up a conversation about hunting or get him to tell you about one of his recent adventures!
Notes and Trivia
Sozen has a nearly insatiable appetite and has been known to devour beasts, seedkin, vilekin, and even ashkin whole
Since he lacks the ability to perform magic, Sozen instead uses his vast aether reserves to enhance his own defense and adhere to flat surfaces for easy climbing
Due to his chaotic time in the Garlean military and a storied hunting career, Sozen can wield just about any physical object as an effective weapon
