Nazai of Avagnar
"Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart."Marcus Aurelius
Nazai Avagnar, a man of twenty-nine summers was born in relative peace in a place far removed from Eorzea. In this place of his birth would he find his calling to be a warrior, sword and shield in hand to protect those he loved. A future attained with little trouble, till a terrible illness swept through, snatching his father from him and leaving his mother alone and embittered, an event that would cause both mother and son to question themselves and grow distant, something that caused Nazai no small amount of guilt.Though he longed for reconciliation, fate would pull him elsewhere, to Eorzea for a purpose he himself could not fully imagine. All he knew was that home was a far-off dream until such time as gods or fate deemed him worthy to return. He's since been in Eorzea for near a year and found family by chance among the population along with a passion for machinistry and similar professions. But in the back of his mind, the home left behind would always be a source of regret.
Standing at an impressive 7'3 and a weight of 240 ponze he only slightly stands above his kin in physical stature, a lean, muscular body shaped by heavy training and needing to move swiftly with armor and weapons, he lacks any significant scarring, save for those that mark his ever vulnerable horns. Despite his size, he is deceptively swift with long legs that allow him to close the distance and an arm length that helps keep him on semi even-ground against spear and axe wielders. He usually sports short, dark purple hair with brighter natural highlighting inherited from his father's side. His eyes would get their coloring from his mother, orbs of amber circled in gold rings and a gaze that could be described as focused, but not unfriendly.While in the past moons, he wore garbs similar to Gunbreakers(with slight modifications) he has since been donning his old armor, silvery steel-plated with the crest of a two-headed wolf on it's pauldrons. Though, whether he intends to return to the path of a Knight-errant is up for debate...
Nazai can be described as a seemingly reserved, but approachable young man in the right circumstances. He has inherited some of his mother's anger but has a better check on it, along with a slower burn. Polite, but does not necessarily see himself as kind, he has a habit of stating his observations about the world and other people without remorse, not seeing it as a compliment or insult but simply something he himself notices and what he thinks which can come off as abrasive or annoying.Though his default is silence, his frequency to speak increases as either his patience decreases or his embarrassment increases or when speaking is a necessity. The man's tone implies a lack of passion or humor within him although this is a mistake. He simply does not express such things outwardly as others might but perhaps in words or actions. The man very much has both in spades, the latter often invading his face at certain times.Open-minded to a degree and willing to let someone prove their sincerity, he often finds himself confused with peoples' intentions due to growing up a little differently, leading him to often miss what would be obvious hints or implications. His concentrated gaze can often be found pointed into space or through someone, or into a small book he carries, which often makes others feel as if he's glaring at them, or upset in general and is the cause of many a misunderstanding.
His arrival in Eorzea has awakened a talent for machinistry and engineered weaponry, and he is often thinking of improvements that can be made or new prototypes to pull into reality, recent adventures into Ilsabard leading him to garner blueprints of a gunblade he currently works to bring to fruition, thanks to an old soldier whom saved his life (or did Nazai save his? Both seem to refuse to acknowledge they saved eachother), and so will engage in conversation with other like-minded people, when given the chance.

RP Hooks and OOC Information
Machnistry/Engineer/Handyman- Are you a Machinist or Gunbreaker who has noticed his prototype and willing to give advice or make fun of it? Or are you someone who has a firearm or other type of machinery that is in need of repairs, improvements? He also fixes non-machine stuff...
Avagnar- Are you an Adarkim or Avagnar? Have you seen him before? Or was he suspiciously absent from your memories?
Friends- Something he has very few of, if only because he prefers to call them acquaintances for a short time. He warms up in his own way, were one to press him.
Rivals- Though he doesn't much have a competitive streak, someone is always looking for something to prove, if not for what/who he is or what he does than at least for themselves.
Unfortunate glare- His eyes and thinking face can look fairly mean and gives off the impression that he's trying to start trouble, giving people cause to confront him.
I do most all types of RP and am open to walkups or tells, but be sure to let me know if it's something particularly sensitive or dark as having it dropped on me suddenly is not fun for either party involved.I am open to roll based combat but am more familiar and comfortable with freeform, and if it's something you wish to discuss, feel free. Particularly damaging things such as dismemberment will need heavy discussion.
Relationships

Friend: very antagonistic, some days
Girlfriend: still very antagonistic, some days
Damned Gremlin
"The very source of confusion for me, since our very first meeting she's been hard to understand. Our friendship was cemented by hitting eachother in the face, ironically, and while our interactions are seemingly aggressive, I have a large amount of respect for her decision to live her own way(how much I agree with it is...debatable...) and much gratitude for at least making days less monotonous."
"Recently, we've become...close. In a way I didn't expect but I certainly have grown to cherish...now if she would stop trying to push buttons I'd be able to relax a bit more..."
(Left to right)Oyun and Naraan
Family: Aunt and baby cousin respectively
Cherished Blood
"Family that I happened upon in my time living in Eorzea. A downright miracle some would say. In some ways perhaps I often take after Naraan...and my baby cousin, Oyun is like the sister I never had and in my short time being with her I have come to love her as I love my aunt. I pray nothing pulls me away from my family, ever again."
Loki(Vaughn)
Father to the Gremlin
Wiser than he looks
"The man knows more than he likes to let on, often playing the simple, cheery dad(one of them) to Shinju. I came to him for advice some weeks back about a problem and I daresay he is owed the lion's share of gratitude for my current situation with his daughter being so positive. Still can't pin the man on any concrete level, but he's got her best interests at heart and that is enough for me."
