About
age 30s.
pronouns he/him.
race midlander hyur.
birthdate 32nd sun of the 3rd umbral moon (6/30).
personality While not exactly jaded, Emyr possesses a knowledge of the world(and his way around a weapon) that only comes with age and experience, or perhaps a life lived in an age of war.
Outwardly, Emyr is personable, and perhaps even too friendly to some. Seemingly open until actually pressed, he deflects more personal questions with humor or questions of his own.
residency ????
appearance Emyr's most defining feature is his eyes, as his friends and acquiantances would likely tell you. Indoors, they appear a light grey. Outdoors, in direct sunlight, they appear almost adularescent.
He is on the shorter side of average (5' 6"/168 cm) with a slight but athletic build.
Fun Stuff:
voiceclaim Kyle McCarley/Hiro Shimono.
✤ one playlist is instrumental and the other is not. You can listen to them in the order listed above or by themselves, it doesn't matter! I think both give the appropriate vibes for Emyr's character.
Ultimately, though, they're just for fun and are not necessary to understanding his character.
History
Emyr was born to an ordinary family of Alexandrian citizens sometime before the Storm Surge; his father a hunter and his mother a seamstress in their tiny village on the outskirts of the capitol. For better or for worse, he does not remember his parents well at all. The natural disasters that befell the Ninth before the Storm Surge saw him, like many others, orphaned or homeless or both. Taken into the care of the state, he was adopted by a knight of some renown looking to pass on his knowledge to the next generation, to a "worthy" squire. This relationship was complicated.The man had no interest in children beyond their capacity to accept, retain, and use the knowledge he saw fit to bestow upon them, and Emyr wanted—like all children do—a family, however fractured it might be. For all that his relationship with his mentor was complicated, however, he does not begrude him; it was, to him, simply how things were.Emyr was officially knighted at twenty years and like his peers, served in Alexandria's army as a knight, protecting her and her people from Lindblum's advances. Sometime during his twenty-fifh year, during yet another battle with Lindblum's forces, he found himself in the middle of the Battle of Carteneau. With no other recourse but to make the most of his situation, Emyr participated, survived, and eventually made his way to the city-state of Gridania. There, he worked his way to minor notoriety as an adventurer, and through a chance meeting with Papalymo and Yda, joined the the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.Having learned the fate of his home, Emyr continued adventuring. Presently, he spends his time aiding the realm through small tasks in Tuliyollal and Eorzea both, such as hunting troublesome wildlife, assisting with deliveries, and settling minor disputes.
Hooks
Veteran of Carteneau.
Was your character present at the Battle of Carteneau? Having fought and survived the battlefield where Dalamud fell, Emyr has a tale to tell. They might have something to commiserate over.
Alexandrian history.
Having been quite literally present for what many would consider historical events, Emyr might have something to share, provided one asks the right way.
Adventurer.
Emyr's occupation takes him far and wide and has forced him to pick up many things on the fly. Perhaps you have a job for him.
Not quite right.
His speech and mannerisms stand out as being not quite Gridanian, not quite Ishgardian, not quite anything familiar. His knowledge of certain things, such as the Twelve, is as if gathered from a textbook rather than actually lived. Something about Emyr is not quite right.
Willing to teach.
Though it has been some time since Emyr willingly took up the sword and shield rather than a greatsword, he is still more than capable of imparting what he's learned as a knight. If your character is willing to learn, Emyr is willing to teach... Although he might not be very good at it.
A work in progress.

At the moment, this carrd serves as a lore repository/potential mirror. Currently, I do not RP in-game, due to a lack of time and general anxiety. (i'm working on it) However, I am always interested to discuss characters, lore, etc. so if you ever have any questions about Emyr or how he and your character might interact, I am open!!
