synopsis
"The most dangerous creation of any society is the man who has nothing to lose." - James Baldwin.
Abrasive, cocksure, and confident, Finn Andor leads as captain of the airship The Gambit, a pirate vessel hailing from Dalmasca. While known for his aggressive demeanor and ability to pick a fight with just about anyone, Finn also cultivates an appreciation for the finer things in life, such as good liquor, lavish clothes, and bad company. He’s rarely seen without a bottle in hand and an arrogant smile, but those who manage to tolerate his rough edges might find a keen business partner and all the wealth of the skies. Finn keeps his friends close and his enemies closer, and some of his secrets worn brazenly on his severed arm, as though daring others to trifle with him.
hooks
the jackal — Some people familiar with piracy or have dabbled in the criminal underworld may have heard of a viera sky pirate who goes by the name of 'The Jackal' when conducting business as a smuggler. Captaining the crew of an airship called The Gambit, the Jackal smuggles any cargo from any client, both criminal or otherwise for the right amount of money.mercenary mesmer — While smuggling may be the main source of Finn's income, he has since begun dabbling into matters of the arcane since acquiring his aether tattoos. Mentions of magical artifacts, ancient relics and sources of power will quickly gain his attention. He can also be employed for services pertaining to espionage and hitman work for targets that may be more difficult to get to without the help of a little magic.the black mark — After a month of imprisonment, Finn has acquired a curse on the palm of his hand, black and cracked like the edges of a broken mirror. This mark acts like a beacon to monsters, ashkin and voidsent, drawing them to the rava like moths to the flame.wanted — Due to his many run-ins with the law and the nature of his criminal work, it's only natural that Finn has amassed a significant bounty on his head. The bounty in particular may vary in reward depending on the city or region, however, there is no shortage of people that are out for the viera's head, bounty or no bounty.claws of arcane — Due to recent, harrowing circumstances, Finn has lost a physical arm and now manifests a new one in its stead; ethereal and powered by his stores of aether, he rarely keeps it hidden, drawing the attention of curious eyes. Perhaps your character is drawn to the aether he burns so quickly to maintain it, or have questions as to what happened.

synopsis
“They whispered to her: you cannot withstand the storm. She whispered back: I am the storm.”
Known by her family as the "Little Wolf" of Corvos, Nicnevin lives up to her title with her prowess in battle and her cunning eye. She steps in and out of the shadows of society, pursuing monsters that many others wouldn’t dare to face, and rarely does she flinch. Direct and purposeful, Nicnevin might come across as harsh to some, but her steadfast nature makes her a helpful ally, so long as there’s mutual respect and fair dealings. Nicnevin isn’t the sort of person who can be crossed twice or crossed lightly, and she’ll pursue those who have wronged her with all the relentless valor of her namesake.
hooks
hunter of beasts — Taught under the guidance of her mother, Nicnevin is a slayer of beasts and aberrations. Ashkin, voidsent and everything in-between, she has employed her services as a monster hunter as she's journeyed abroad.exile and wanderer — Forced on the run from her homeland, Nicnevin has taken up residence in Radz-at-Han for the last few years. Wanderlust has driven her to explore the lands of the Far East and Eorzea, meeting many individuals along the way, perhaps your character was one of them!blades of the wolf — House Lykos were known for the blades they crafted; forged from precious and dangerous materials such as auracite, they were enchanted to provide various spells, incantations and unique abilities to those that wielded them. House Lykos provided these blades as gifts to other prestigious families, some have been lost to time, and others stolen. Nicnevin intends to take them back.deep under iron rule — A life under Garlean rule within the subjugated realm of Corvos has left Nicnevin particularly hostile toward Garleans and any who once swore allegiance to the now fallen empire. Those who might have known her from these days may recognize her as a former conscript, and a particular bounty placed by the Empire for the murder of an Imperial officer.

synopsis
“We men are wretched things.” - The Iliad
An enigmatic wanderer; a decaying healer; an omen clad in crimson and gold. Rumours abound of a figure who traverses the lands under the guise of a knight, though of a kingdom long since fallen. Like a phantom, he has walked the Source, keeping to the shadow of the light, with little desire to linger in the affairs of modern society. Malachi is a relic of a bygone era, scarred by war and branded by the damned, but through an almost fanatical fervor, he has persevered through the ages, driven by an unfaltering desire to destroy practitioners of black magic and the voidsent that laid waste to his home.What more of Malachi that may exist behind his zeal is left a mystery.
hooks
a time-lost wanderer — no matter where he goes, Malachi appears like he does not belong. Dressed in armor with no obvious origin, and speaking with an accent one cannot quite place, some are drawn to the otherwise otherworldly demeanor the knight gives off.bane of the black mage — Malachi has engaged in a crusade against practitioners of black magic for many moons. He is a whisper on the night wind among covens-- a warning to those who brazenly display their power. Malachi has made it his life's purpose to hunt down the occult and the voidsent they harbor.purifier or destroyer — Stories have been passed along the ages of an elf clad in ancient armor, whose magic leaves fertile groves into decaying wastelands yet whose touch can cure wounds and mend bone. He is an anomaly to most practitioners of magic, whose existence threatens the lands he walks.seeker of the past — Fellow enigmatic individuals may recognize who Malachi is or where he hails from. Connections can be created to form a pre-existing relationship with Malachi, whether as a friend or a foe.dark passenger — to those with aethersense, Malachi's is dense and turbulent. A perfect storm of astral and umbral. A lingering, malignant presence suffocates the light, but does not overwhelm it.

synopsis
At first glance, Anani seems like a flight of fancy, often following their whims and mischievous side to entertain curiosities and occasional chaos. Exiled from their homeland, the occultist hides a few dark secrets behind bright smiles and fanciful baubles, such as an affinity for dark magic and an ability to find accordance with creatures that most would see as monsters. As a stranger in a strange land, Anani simply seems as though they don’t quite fit, something aside from their heritage making them stand apart from their surroundings. Still, this doesn’t seem to bother them in the slightest as cheerfully they make their way through the world, even finding beauty in the darkest of places.
hooks
plants, baubles and odd things — Anani is a collector; bones, trinkets, plant life, insects and odd little baubles, they will go out of their way to obtain anything that catches their eye, even if that item happens to be on someone else. Merchants love her!verdant blood - Dubbed a "green" witch, Anani's magic involves the manipulation of plants, earth and flora. At one time, they engaged in the upkeep of their village's groves, but since their exile and the subsequent changes that they have begun to partake in, their magic has slowly begun to alter as well; growth has given way to entropy and decay.aether like gloom — the aether that surrounds this keeper is contradictory to their normally bouyant demeanor. An umbral darkness follows her like a shadow, thick and cloying with a scent not unlike petrichor. To all who meet her, Anani does not seem malignant or otherwise despite the nature of their aether, though their extremities are mysteriously stained black.outlander — Anani is somewhat of a fish out of water in Eorzea and the realms beyond the New World, unfamiliar but curious about the rich culture of new lands and eager to explore what lays beyond the boundaries of civilization. Ask her about her homeland, however, and one might glimpse the melancholy that remains ever present behind her wide-eyed gaze.friend of monsters — As a pariah to her own people, Anani finds kin and comfort with monsters and creatures that others might come to fear or hate. Their empathy extends to even the most wretched of creatures, and they will go out of their way to assist the hunted in escape, even if it puts a target on their back.

synopsis
Soft-spoken and relatively unassuming, Peregrine once lived life serving a cause. First the protection of his subterranean village, and next the Dalmascan homeland, he has a warrior's spirit, claws bloodied in defense of the people he cared for. After his extensive stay in Sharlayan, no memories remain of who he once was or what he once fought for. He'd been made into something else; a creature borne of mortal hands. With his escape, freedom was as alien as the faces he met and the places he wandered.
hooks
dalmascan resistance — Once a defender of his own village, Peregrine left the Golmore to assist in the Dalmascan resistance as a Freedom Fighter. Skilled in a multitude of weapons, he felled an unknown number of Garleans with an agility and speed not unlike the hunting patterns of a peregrine under the cover of night. Those who were once Dalmascan resistance might remember a relatively quiet viera who kept to himself and did as he was ordered without question; a dog of war.sharlayan experiment — Kept for a number of years as an experiment under a Sharlayan researcher, those who reside on the isle may have heard rumors of experimental procedures done under the table. The Forum has deemed the "research" unethical and dangerous, and have sent individuals to retrieve the experiment for termination.a demon beneath the flesh — Outwardly, Peregrine looks none the worse for wear, but beneath the veil of normalcy lies a suffocating vortex of aether, dense in nature, not astral and not quite umbral-- curiously reactive to the rava's emotions.lost memories — Peregrine is an amnesiac. The only memories he's retained are those of his time as a Sharlayan test subject. This hook is for those who may be interested in past connections with Peregrine.
