ABOUT

Name: Cillian Briar
Age: 80 approximately
Pronouns: He/Him
Height: 6'3"
Sexuality: Gay Ace
Homeland: Golmore Jungle
Current Residence: Empyreum

Physicality: Taller than the average male Viera and has a much more muscular build as well. He has a gruff voice and typically speaks with a curt tone and simple sentences unless something of interest comes to conversation. Typically appears to be glaring down at people, but his face seems to frozen in a natural glare--perhaps he was born with it.

Cillian is a man of few words. Since coming to Eorzea, he's sought places to prove his worth in battle and learn new skills; although listening to a teacher for much long is not really in his nature. Typically, he prefers to be alone as gatherings can be somewhat frustrating, but if he's standing among people he's at least listening in for a little while to "join in." He comes across as rude at times, but he's truly socially awkward and usually trying his best to fit in despite his nerves.He was formerly a watcher of the woods in the Golmore Jungle--having left seeking personal growth. Acting as a Warder was his life from very early on as he was very adept at it and has only left the jungle in the last year or so. He now works as a gladiator in the coliseum, learning the ropes and attempting make his own mark in history.

HOOKS

  • Fights and Gladiatorial Events - These are Cillian's main interest. If you know of some places to fight, make a little coin and fame, he would be interested to know.

  • Mistaken Identity - Due to his nature, gruff exterior, and penchant for heavy sword carrying, some mistake him for a proper Dark Knight. He is mostly unaware of the phenomenon.

  • Business Offers - If you need a guardian with a good pair of ears and eyes, someone who is used to long stake outs, Cillian is a good man to ask.

  • Training - This is one trainer who will not go easy on you. Sparring is in his own interest as well. As he's often dressed for battle, he will most of the time.

  • Cassius - Is Cassius standing right there? He is with him. They're "roommates" and he tends to let him do most of the talking.

  • Cooking and Nutrition - A surprisingly decent cook with a lot of interest in making balanced and varied meals. Can and will go on about it.

  • Socialization Attempts - At times, he tries to overcome his anxiety in social situations and actually talk to and meet people. However strange it is, he is trying.

  • Killer - He often takes his pet tapir with him when he's out. The little one is named Killer--he is very fond of the creature.

OOC

Timezone is PST and usually up late.
Player uses they/them.
Not interested in any roleplay or interactions revolving around homophobia, transphobia, racism or any other forms of bigotry. Playing FFXIV for fun, not for additional stress.
If Cillian is blunt or rude with you, don't take it personally. He is an awkward character and you are fine. His socialization skills are low.
