Dainslief is a young Elezen with a penchant for hunting, smithing, and working as a bodyguard. Seen most commonly in taverns in between each undertaking, most people will know them to be an exceptional adventurer. They are a protector, and a hunter, at heart, and those who share a love for such things will find themselves in good company with him.

Should you find yourself able to catch him without the helmet on, you'll find a few cut scars across their face, along with a curious levin-induced fractal scar on their left cheek that seems to go further down their neck.

Drifting along from place to place, they never stay in one place for more than a month. If prodded with questions, folk will find him slightly closed off. He seems rather lonesome at times, usually found in a quiet corner of any given establishment, keeping to himself. But, he won't reject a friendly conversation should one approach him.

Voice claim? I got a voice claim right here

Maybe just a bit softer though

These exist as an excuse to have cool music on my profile, but they might also be good as background music should they fit into a scenario.

All credit goes to the original makers of these songs, go listen to their stuff!

Hearsay and Rumors

"You seen all that fancy steel he's got? Makes me wonder who's his smith."

"Aye, that fella came int'a m' tavern not five minutes past. Ya just missed 'em, said he's goin' out for yet another bleedin' monstah hunt! Don't know how he keeps goin' and goin' like that, I'd 'ave dropped dead by naw if I were 'im!"

"You, trying to get with him? Good luck, he may look handsome, but from what I've heard, he's more stoic than a brick wall. And I think he might already be taken."

"Coulda sworn I 'member seein' a funny lookin' mark on his cheek, all red and menacin'. Wonder if I was just seein' things... Wait a tick, weren't his eyes purple?"

"I'm tellin' ya, this guy just... it's like he reached int'a 'is head, and bam, he knew exactly where to find the rest o' them bandits without the guy even sayin' a word!"

"This merc fella, right? He made this fine trinket here for me, sells 'em for a decent price. ...Yeah I know, right? Never heard of a swordsman taking up goldsmithing either, 'till now."

Hooks

Hunter - Most people know them to be experienced in the tracking and subsequent slaying of particularly nasty creatures of all kinds. Should you require someone with this skillset, Dains will be all too happy to lend his help, in exchange for a fair payment in gil.

Blacksmith - Dains grew up with his adoptive family learning how to forge weapons and armor. His particular specialty lies in armor that bridges the gap between protection and mobility, and sometimes he'll advertise his works by taking new sets out to jobs. He is known to offer some basic training in how to forge swords and axes, and apparently also dabbles in occasional goldsmithing as well.

Gunblade Wielder - Rare is the individual with the training and knowhow on using the tricky gunblade. The way Dains wields his, it seems not so far-fetched that he was tutored proper in its use.

Guardian/Bodyguard - Recent jobs have placed them firmly in the role of protecting a client from someone or something. And, it seems he's actually taken a liking to such work.

La Noscean Upbringing - Anyone that has met La Noscean folk before will notice his occasional accent, usually buried with literate, clear speech. One can always ask about their past, and he'll be willing to answer.

Scars - Anyone who's known Dains long enough will come to know the tapestry of scars that line his body, each one a tale that he'll happily recount should one find themself curious.

Aether - Their pool of aether seems small, to a point where those trying to track him down by his aether will be met with some difficulty. Perhaps someone just might be interested in examining them, should their research have them wanting to study those with lacking aether.

Mercy's Vow - A claymore, kept close at their side when out and about. When it's not an axe or gunblade he wields, Mercy's Vow will find itself firmly in his grasp. While a fine sword on its own, only those with Aethersight will see the sheer amount of aether pulsating from within, nigh asphyxiating with its presence.

Looking For Work - Dains is always looking for new work to take on. Should you require them as hired muscle for a variety of reasons, all it takes is a little gil and the man will oblige his strength and his blades.

OOC stuff

Player is 18+. Yes, ERP can happen but it needs to have some actual substance behind it. I am not a fan of "Hey, let's just get it on," type stuff. The character will ONLY do ERP in circumstances where it makes sense and the character has a sort of trust built up towards your own. Should I, the player, not consent to it, I don't consent to it and that's that. No pushing for it or I'll remove the character from the scene. ALL ERP scenes with this character are NON-CANONICAL due to current circumstances.

Injuries are OKAY, as long as I consent to it. No losing limbs but stuff like scars, broken bones, etc are a thumbs up from me.

I usually mirror posts but I wouldn't outright call myself a Mirror/Para. I'll tend to do my own thing but generally, if you type out a longer post, I'll follow suit unless a shorter one would fit better.

If you need a "hero" type character for your villain or storyline, DM me on Discord your pitch!

Disclaimer, this character has the Echo. How theirs works, you'll have to actually figure that out for yourself through RP.
