character behavior

Despite his difficult upbringing and occasional mistreatment from fellow town's children, A’vett grew up with an outlook many would deem childish and immature; he has always retained an unreasonably positive outlook for life and his fellow man. He’s been described as jovial, as his intentions are largely good-hearted, despite his acute naivety. Flirting, insults, and passive aggressiveness appear to fly right over his head, but whether this is due to true or feigned ignorance isn't always clear. Sometimes he speaks too directly, but this is due to his aforementioned naivety—most of what he blurts out is not typically said with any true malice.While he's difficult to enrage, A'vett's most notable trigger is any action taken to directly belittle or attack his chosen loved ones. Anger and/or irritation usually leave him at a loss for words, resulting in violent physical outbursts—these range from stomping childishly to directly confronting lethal danger. Thankfully, rage isn’t something that regularly visits him—however, he is equally unequipped to cope with sorrow. If possible, he will lock himself away from others as opposed to seeking aid when he's distressed—the mere idea that his misery may burden others perpetuates this behavior.A’vett has an affectionately kind, but loud demeanor—his enthusiasm and contentment are sometimes regarded as contagious by others. While he’s ever the optimist, he is capable of appraising dire situations with respect—though, this does wrack up his nerves quite a bit and tends to leave him at a loss for words for fear of sounding foolish in contrast to his wiser peers. His opinions or thoughts holding weight to his fellow adventurers still appears to befuddle him—he picks his words as carefully as he can, only wishing to do right by those he cares for.

Extra Background / Trivia

  • Born to a single and doting father, A’sahrah Faaye, who loves his son dearly. A'vett reunited with him shortly before his first voyage to Sharlayan, and his father continues to wait patiently for his visits to Aleport.

  • Faaye was his father's former name as a tribal Hhetsarro of Shaaloani. Shortly before his departure of Tural for Limsa Lominsa, he took on an inconspicuous moniker to avoid questioning and discussion of his origin.

  • A'sahrah was kind, patient, and resilient despite the hardships he faced as a single father in an unfamiliar land. Despite his struggle, he doesn’t have a bad word to say in regard to A’vett’s estranged father. However, he hopes that A'vett doesn’t actively seek him out, fearing he will only be hurt.

  • A’vett’s estranged father, F’enris Tia, came from a clan of well-to-do Miqo’te sailors and merchants. While they were relatively non-traditional, straying from the clan for those with meager to no wealth was frowned upon, and thus F’enris abandoned A’sahrah with child.

  • A'sahrah's connection to F'enris is how A'vett first ventured from Aleport to Vesper Bay. Despite the emotional strain, both of his fathers were proud to see him off.

  • F'enris was wed and fathered another son soon after ending his relationship with A'sahrah. A'vett finally encountered his half-brother, F'lut Tia, for the first time shortly after arriving in Kugane.

  • Didn’t have many friends as a child, but often physically defended other children from their bullies, even if it would doubtlessly result in injury upon himself. He always managed to smile when all was said and done—bruises, blood, and all. This obviously managed to greatly exacerbate his father's stress in A'vett's youth.

  • Due to A'sahrah's rejection of Hhetsarro tradition and disinterest in understanding Eorzean Miqo'te traditions, A'vett is rather timid around tribal Miqo’te and Hhetsarro.

  • Greatly enjoys applying and wearing makeup. While he enjoys and prefers being perceived as a masculine person, he has no issue embracing anything seen a 'traditionally feminine.' He enjoys being a rough-and-tumble warrior, but takes pride in his physical self-expression.

  • Finds great joy in cooking, as it reminds him of his father. Taking up the pan, he has become a skilled culinarian.

history

Born to a single father in the streets of Aleport, A’vett was brought up humbly, developing into a rambunctious and extroverted child with boundless empathy for those around him. In his earliest days, he did not fully realize the strife he had been born into, happy to simply have food in his belly, a place to sleep, and his dear father to keep him. Even as his status and struggle became more evident, A'vett simply pushed forward, joyfully, with the cards fate dealt him.Wanting little more than to help his struggling father, A’vett made it a habit to find any job in need of dedicated work and was extremely persistent in these endeavors, regularly receiving firm refusals outright. These attempts occasionally concluded in mild mayhem—however, bodily harm was more often a direct result of A’vett’s empathy, defending other town children from their bullies. Despite his actions leaving him a target, A'vett took pride in knowing he could protect others, even at his own expense—much to the dismay of his father.As a teenager, A’vett worked hard teaching himself to read and write at the request of his father. As a chef, his father guaranteed his son employment at his kitchen if—and only if, A'vett carried out his due diligence and learned more than what little his father could. His studies did little more than give him an elementary level means of reading and writing. The makeshift education was eventually enough to satisfy A'vett's father, who allowed the young boy to work by his side. However, after The Seventh Umbral Calamity, A’vett found his attention from his previously comfortable, mundane, and routine life waning.A fortnight before the calamity, A'vett's echo had suddenly manifested, ushering foggy dreams and fuzzy half-memories that left him in a state of persistent exhaustion and absence, stamping out his previously loud, joyful, and energetic personality. The sleepless, teenage Miqo'te began to find little satisfaction in the things that once brought him a great sense of accomplishment and joy, often lost in thought and regularly unable to meet his father’s eye. Noticing this, A’vett’s father contemplated his son's passive dismay for months, knowing nothing of his newfound blessing, before settling on the only thing he believed his previously joyful son would find happiness in—an adventure.

Despite restrictions in travel, he contacted A'vett's estranged father for a means to set their son off to Ul’dah to begin his life-changing journey—though the means did dig deep into his pockets. Initially declining the proposition at the possibility of burdening his beloved father further, A’vett was eventually swayed by his loving guardian's insistence.Thus, he was sent off with love and well wishes, marking the inception of his pilgrimage towards The Steps of Ul’dah.

hooks

Spacey ✧  (New!)

While he prefers not to remain idle when given the choice, a mind as distractible as A'vett's can't help but pause and daydream from time-to-time in the oddest places. Have you noticed him idling for quite some time, or has he been spacing-out in your direction?

  • “Huh? Oh, were you talking to me? Haha! Sorry, I must've gotten lost in my own world for a second!”

Help ✧

Ever eager to assist someone in need, A'vett exudes a warmth that seems easy to approach—if his visibly jovial disposition hasn't put you off. Might you you require brief directions or some hired help?

  • “How long have you been looking for a hand around here? No worries, I've got you covered!”

Spar ✧

A skilled monk, A'vett makes sure to train as often as possible to maintain his proficiency in the martial arts. Are you perhaps in need of a training partner to spar with?

  • “The hand-to-hand part is easy, actually — it's the meditation that takes more practice. For me, at least!”

Chef ✧

Inspired by his father, A'vett has become highly skilled in the culinary arts (after some growing-pains). Perhaps one of you would like to offer your latest, fancy cooking endeavor?

  • “Y'know, food tastes better when it's shared, so I hope it's real tasty for you!”

Errand ✧

Though he's regularly sent on fetch-quests, A'vett's glad to find an opportunity to visit the local marketplaces and browse. Are you both in the market for something similar today?

  • “What's all that you've got? Is it for a special recipe? I'd love to try to cook it, if you show me what to buy!”

Tutor ✧

Having been entirely self-taught in some reading and writing until only recently, A'vett tries hard these days to catch up to most of his peers. While he's got the hang of most basics, perhaps you've offered to further tutor him?

  • “I didn't have the chance before, to study and learn... But now I do. So, I might as well make up for lost time, right?”

sunspot

A personal combo class between MNK and DRK, the SUNSPOT manifested as a direct result of A'vett's journey pursuing the strength to dutifully protect others as a Dark Knight.Shortly post-STB, A'vett became unable to rest mulling over his maddening encounters with Zenos. Fearful that his strength would not be enough — both to protect those dear to him and to prevent his blind rage from reducing him to a violent, destructive beast, A'vett returned to his Free Company's city state; Ishgard. There, he spent his time roaming land and city in quiet trepidation, pondering a method in which to contain and control his rage, before stumbling across Fray Myste.His tale closely follows the canonical DRK questline, with the exception of one crucially altered element;

fray myste
amarant

esteem

Silent and stoic, Amarant is A'vett's suppressed self-preservation given form. Thrashing against the shackles of persistent self-sacrifice as the Warrior of Light for the sake of the realm, Amarant has little to no regard for anything beyond guarding himself—A'vett.

“ The closer you are to light,
the greater your shadow becomes. ”

Returning to A'vett after the events at Whitebrim, Amarant now remains dormant, waiting patiently to take the reigns in A'vett's darkest moments. Sharing a mortal vessel, Amarant occasionally takes the lead when A'vett is either brutally incapacitated or steeped in blinding rage. While he is abrasive and violent, Amarant remains more collected than his counterpart, exhausting A'vett's savage rage.

Over decamillennia ago, a young amaurotine had wandered aimlessly into life and concluded — as if reaching enlightenment — that he bore divine ichor in his otherworldly, ancient veins. Achilles was pleasant despite his airy, ethereal presence, unmoved by anything that threatened his image and calculated nonchalance. Skilled in as many ways as he was beautiful, Achilles could near flawlessly manipulate other's perceptions of him — however, in those days, some few were the wiser to Achilles' superficial charm, deep-seated emptiness, and a natural lack of remorse for many of his actions or lack thereof.To those who viewed him favorably, his presence brought great comfort as he pulled generously from the easy-going font of his wisdom, having traveled lands far and wide with a detached fascination. However, few could sense plainly that Achilles was but a naïve, aspiring godling, superciliously looking down upon all before him. For better or worse, Achilles was not unaware of such perspectives, thus devoting himself to ceaseless wanderings in an attempt to further conceal his nature and avoid scrutiny — delivering aid to those pitiable few in dire need of his divine and blessed succor.His nomadic wayfaring made Achilles the optimal successor for Venat, taking on the role of Azem with an ease many believed was destined for bearers of the title.

“ I so wanted you to worship the myth I had made of myself.One could never hope to recover from that much devotion. ”

In his endless travels, Achilles never hesitated to aid any and all — after all, his lack of deep-seated empathy was undetectable to those in need. Whether the praise received for his support truly fed his ego, it served well to ensure Achilles took on direct tasks as Azem with the utmost diligence and fervor, serene smile in tow.

“ As my final act of love
I will become something we both
won't be able to recognize. ”

Few may have questioned why he took his chosen path before the sundering, but those nearest to him — such as Hades — could speculate with more dreadful certainty.Achilles' unparalleled hubris instilled him with a certainty that he was the closest one could be to godliness among his fellow amaurotines. Shortly before The Final Days, he had become restless, wondering how to accomplish the one thing he, in all his perfection, had yet to truly experience which all before him accessed with ease — genuine, heartfelt connection.A'vett serves as Achilles' unfiltered and sincere love, loyalty, and earnestness — traits Achilles couldn't exchange with sincerity to those he might've believed deserved it; reassuring Hades, before shattering into fourteen perfect shards, that he had figured it out — that the love he could never share with sincerity would finally take form and save them all.To Achillies, to be a star was to burn brilliantly.
