Personality

Naturally standoffish, Feinne is someone who shuns most interactions with other people, and likes to keep to himself as much as possible. If someone wants to talk with him, they better be holding a sack of gil, or have a suitable offering of the same caliber, lest they be chased off before they can get a word out. His walls are high, leaving most people scrambling in the face of such obstacles while attempting to befriend the large Auri. What awaits them once everything has been scaled, is a surprisingly aloof person, who ends up being a lot kinder than he lets on.

Classes | Fighting Style

Main classes used by Feinne include: rpr, sam, and drk
-
Thanks to his father, Feinne inherited a specific type of skill that he uses in combination with the classes he mains. This skill was dubbed as his Auspical Bloodletting, and allows him to drain the aether of any opponent steadily throughout fighting until they are depleted completely. Draining of aether is only activated from opening of wounds on his opponent's body, and can increase depending on the amount of injuries inflicted. Even if someone runs from Feinne in a fight, aether draining can still continue and cannot be stopped until either death or the effect is manually stopped, making him a very effective and successful bounty hunter.
-
Feinne also has a very specific aether sense unique to him, allowing the young auspice to pick out 'scents' of aether based off of each individuals' type and specific characteristics of how their aether manifests in the world. It also enables him to track people via this sense, and can make him hard to sneak up on unless you're able to mask your own aetheric signature from being seen. Feinne's Aether Tracking has a limited range for things he isn't exactly tracking, and he can sense the difference of aethers up until at least 10m- anything past this range still registers as being seen, just not as distinctly.
-
Aside from his other combat abilities, Feinne has the ability to use black and blue flames when he fights, which are completely fueled by his own seemingly endless supply of aether that he has stored up. These flames cannot be extinguished by outside forces, and can burn at varying degrees of temperatures controlled by the young auspice himself. Thanks to the power of these flames being stored in Feinne's body, he's immune to the cold and can control the heat of his body at will.

The good

  • Patient - Feinne is surprisingly patient once people get past the front he puts up to fool others. Once he knows someone has the patience to wait for him to trust them, he puts in an effort to return the favor.

  • Never Preys on the Weak - Since he grew up mostly ostracized from his tribe and peers, he knows what it's like to be the underdog, and hence will never stand for picking on weaker people. If anything he's more liable to lend his scythe to people in need, to a certain point, at least.

  • Fiercely Loyal - Feinne doesn't trust easily, so once he's been won over and has someone he considers a friend, he will never abandon them. Friends he considers close will have a terribly over-protective auspice at their side at almost all times.

The bad

  • Stubborn - Feinne is very much set in his ways and he's not one to back down from anything, be it a fight or someone challenging his views. It would surely be easier to change the course of a river than to change his mind once he's set on something.

  • Aggressive - To strangers he's very much an "attack first, ask questions later," which can lead to a whole host of problems. Anyone who tries to start anything with him usually ends up dead or close to it; Feinne isn't one to hold back. He doesn't put up with much of anything either, and people who try to press their luck with trying to touch, joke, or otherwise annoy him are very likely to take a hit or two.

  • Unforgiving - Once he's been slighted, there really is no going back for him. The moment Feinne finds out he's been betrayed or otherwise, he'll be hard pressed to ever find it in himself to forgive them. Thanks to his own mother's betrayal towards him as a child, it's a terrible sore spot for him, so when trust has been lost it tends to stay gone.

"I looked at my mother and she gestured to the blood soaking my claws- the blood of the same people who she had sent to kill me. She told me that I was a monster, and I always would be. Stepping closer, I grabbed her by the throat, digging my nails into flesh, scale, and bone alike, and told her that I really did take after her then, didn't I?"
- Feinne Qestir


"His eyes are usually hidden under a blindfold, so much that when I actually saw his eyes it was as if I was looking at a whole different person. He tries so hard to seem like he doesn't want anything to do with anyone here, and yet his eyes look so sad. They only show a glimpse of the well of emotion he hides, and I think that's why he covers them so much."

Lore | Backstory

| Content Warning: Child Abuse |

  • Feinne was born on the 28th sun of the 6th Umbral moon on a bitterly cold winter day, being the first and only child to his mother. His mother's reasons for having him were dubious at best, mainly boiling down to trying to get Feinne's father to come back after a fleeting romance many moons ago.

  • His early life was spent fighting for his life, thanks to his mother's descent into madness- she spent almost every waking hour plotting against her own child, including trying to poison him, bribe other Qestir tribe members to attempt to harm him, and when that failed she eventually resorted to using outside means. When Feinne found out of his mother's attempts on his life, he flew into a rage, ripping her head from her body and going on the bloodiest rampaged in the entire history of the Qestir tribe- ultimately he was subdued and exiled by Iturgen himself.

  • The rest of his life past his exile included broadening his horizons, learning both Yanxian and bits of Eorzean while living in the Ruby Sea. Eventually he found the Four Lords through the Blue Kojin, and spent a time being taught about the powers he held from his absent father. Although Feinne was now considered a fledgling Auspice in his own right, he still had much more to learn from the world, so he was bade to venture out and find his own path before he could become a full blooded Auspice.

  • After leaving the Ruby Sea, he made a living through brothel work in Kugane at first, making enough gil to pay his way out and start working for more of the underground parts of Hingashi. This way he found his calling as a bounty hunter, and when he found out there was much more work to be had overseas in Eorzea, he set out to live his life as a free roaming sellsword of sorts. Feinne continues this line of work to present day.

Trivia | Misc

  • Feinne inherited the ability to breathe underwater from his absent father, and often uses it to his advantage when fishing for a quick snack.

  • Built up an immunity to being poisoned from his mother's attempts to kill him as a child- the poison his mother used was always bitter, hence his hatred of bitter foods.

  • His body is mostly covered in black scales, and between each plated scales is always a glowing, blue patch that grows brighter depending on his flame usage.

  • From his training as an Auspice he learned how to turn into a little skink whenever he wants. It's completely black save blue highlights on the underbelly.

  • Feinne is absurdly strong, and he can easily crush or break things if he isn't careful- delicate things are a weak point for him, and he becomes nervous around people who are a lot smaller than him.

  • His teeth and jaw are strong enough to bite through both metal and bone alike, and he often will eat bones as a snack when there's not a huge selection of food around.

  • Feinne often walks barefoot because of the way his legs are- most shoes and boots are not made for someone with clawed feet akin to a dragon's foot, so he doesn't bother with looking for anything that fits him.

  • On occasion he can breathe fire, but it's not something he likes to show off.

  • Because of his father, Feinne is technically immortal, although only in the sense that he has the ability to keep living for as long as he wants, so long as he is not killed somehow.

  • Despite knowing Eorzean, Yanxian, Sign, and Old Xaelic, Feinne cannot read, and he often has trouble in markets and restaurants.

  • Feinne possesses the Echo, but it's not something he ever really relies on.

| Motivations |

Feinne's main motivations in life is become a fully realized Auspice, and to find his father. The latter is something he wants to happen first, because he feels like he cannot truly live his life if he doesn't know what he really is and what he's truly capable of. His life as a bounty hunter allows him to try and dig up information wherever he goes, hoping he can find something that will eventually lead him to his father, and ultimately lead him to finally having his questions answered.
-
Unfortunately, Feinne doesn't really have much motivation when it comes to having a normal life, and if you were to ask him, he would tell you that he doesn't think he deserves one. The young Auspice believes himself incapable of love, and therefor is unfit for any sort of companionship or otherwise. It's a bit of a sullen view, but with the amount of blood on his hands, he's not sure if someone like him could be considered anything other than a monster.

Casual | Non-Work


Another Steppe Exile

Other Steppe exiles are of an interest to Feinne, and he'd be curious to find someone else who was also shunned by their own tribe. Steppe Auri who are not exiles make him a little more uneasy, mostly since there are those from the Qestir who have tried to hunt him down for his bloody past. So long as you make it known that you're not a threat, he's more willing to be friendlier.


Not Exactly Mortal

As someone who is already doomed to outlive any friends or family he may make or have, he's keen on trying to find others who share the same fate. Whether or not this means friendship between you and him is up for debate- he is on the path to become a full blooded Auspice at some point after all, so it depends on how you view Auspices in their entirety.


Clashing Lifestyles

With how Feinne lives his life it's easy to say that he's very much used to living on the bare minimum, so people who live much nicer lives might see him as someone that needs to be taken in. If you're one such person who doesn't mind having a slightly murderous roommate with some strange habits, then you might not see an issue in dragging him off the streets. Be prepared to have to teach him about how to live a more domestic life however, because he's very much uninitiated.

Not Seeing Anything for You?

I'm open to any starters that you might have between your character and Feinne! Please understand that I also have the right to decline starters or requests for RP if I do not feel like our characters would mesh well. I also do not do ERP with people I do not know as my own personal preference.


Work Related


Fellow Bounty Hunter

Feinne doesn't mind working together to take down elusive or dangerous targets, and he's willing to lend his aid as long as he's getting a fair cut. Can't afford to spare the money? You can offer him something in exchange, but you better make sure it's worth it or things might get violent.


Need an Armed Escort?

It's without saying, but Feinne makes a great bodyguard or armed escort if you're looking to get somewhere fast and with little hassle- he takes his job very seriously, and will even taste your food for you to make sure it's not poisoned! Just make sure you have the gil ready to fork over ahead of time, or he's not taking the job.


Odd Jobs

For the most part, Feinne's pretty open to other jobs you might have for him as long as it's paying well enough. Don't ask him for anything too out of the ordinary however, or you're liable to be rejected outright. Even though he has done brothel work in the past, he has made it very clear that he will not do any more sex work- coming up to him and offering gil for a quick hookup will result in a swift punch, or worse... Keep in mind that combat is his strongest point, so if you're looking for someone more sneaky or discreet for a job, search somewhere else.
