3. Horn piercings made of pale quartz crystals
5. Very go-with-the-flow. Tends to act cool and calm around others. Can get caught up in feelings and be dramatic about it, and very much lives in the moment. Can easily swing into bad mood and just as easily swing out of it.
6. Loves Eorzean "cool" fashion, but spent most of his years in little more than a loincloth and won't hesitate to return to that if he feels even a little stuffy.
7. A struggle. Learning how to defty climb sheer cliffs along the Yanxia Bay was a necessity for life for his clan. Tribe leaders were too stubborn to consider an easier path or even open trade with other clans, so most days were spent learning how to be self-sufficient.
8. During the events of ARR-Endwalker, he had little to no time to think about his desire to reunite with his clan, to let everyone know he still lives. Post-Endwalker, he made the effort to return to the Harasta tribe. Pleased to find his siblings alive and the tribe finally flourishing by being more diplomatic and trading with other tribes, Rex also felt he'd grown apart from them and now seeks a new purpose. His excursion to Tural was as much for him as it was for Wuk Lamat.
9. The rewards for his deeds have been more than enough. He hardly stays in one place and doesn't need a steady home and income.
10. Having spent 24 years eating almost exclusively spitroasted fish, anything new and tasty is his favorite dish.
11. Returning home to find his tribe dead from a similar disaster that took his parent's generation.
12. Spearfishing. It reminds him of home. Also loves to climb big city buildings.
14. Between navigating cliffsides and his lancer and dragoon training, he's an exceptional climber. Can also pound a bottle of mezcal and stand upright. A talent to some, a problem to others.
15. Not an eorzean native. From the Harasta tribe in the most eastern part of the Azim Steppes, along the Yanxia Bay. The clan was once a hundred strong, but more than half died when an unusually strong storm pounded the cliffsides, causing a massive rock slide that fell into the ocean. The clan's elders were in the process of getting everyone deeper inside the cliffside caves to safety when it happened. None survived, leaving the young to fend for themselves going forward. Rex believes it was a primal that caused this.
16. Dead. Gone with the storm.
17. Four of them are all alive. Rex worried about their well-being during his travels. When he mustered up the courage to return home after the events of Endwalker, he nearly wept with joy to see them alive and thriving. Since then, they've left the Harasta tribe to expand their horizons. Rex frequently seeks them out now just to make sure they're safe.
18. In a sense, the rest of the clan is his extended family. But for years after the storm, it's was a competitive environment where they strongest got to eat the most, and some would deprive others of food so they could eat just a little more. Things are better now, but a bitterness lingers as Rex struggles to put the past aside.
19. Has yet to conceptualize the idea of "The One" but loves his friends and siblings dearly. Has experienced a couple crushes but between his poor grasp of the eorzean common language and a little bad luck, he hasnt found someone who reciprocates. He had an arranged marriage with his clan, but all those plans fell apart after the storm.
20. After gaining some renown, he quickly grew uncomfortable with bedding everyone who threw themselves at him. For a while, especially when things were dire, he'd only proposition someone to mutually relieve some tension. After the events of Endwalker, he's been entertaining flings more. Still waiting for romance and sex to make a connection.
21. Gil is an unfortunate necessity since he doesn't suffer from greed. Rarely needs more than what's on his person, let's Tataru handle the money.
22. Once an avid and exclusive believer in Azim and Nhaama, his worldly travels have changed his perspective. All walks of life have their own faith, each follows similar dogmas with flavors of their own cultures. Rex has made his own conclusion this his sun God and another's sun God are the same, and their mythos is catered to the beleiver's culture, and that goes for the other gods. On the other hand, he believes worshipping a primal is dangerous. Even if the worshipper is tempered, he believes they're still partially responsible for the destruction the primal causes. So when he learned Hydaelyn is also a primal, he saw himself as hypocritical and questioned his own actions. This was one of the key moments that led him down a dark path during the events of Endwalker.
23. Zenos, for the longest time. Even now he fears his return. Otherwise he still clings onto old rivalries from this clan, even if his rivals have grown out of it already.
24. He'll never admit it, but Estinien. Rex has been the stronger dragoon since the end of Havensward. But it's Estinien's ability to change, reflect, and walk unburdened that he aspires to. He also envies Estinien's role in the scions. Able to come and go as he pleases, always on the outside of the hurricane while Rex is squarely in the middle of it. Rex would someday like to cast aside his Warrior of Light title and be no more than a traveling adventurer like Estinien.
25. He has old memories of exploring the cliffsides with his siblings, learning how to spearfish with his mother and father. Simpler times. More recently, the brief pauses between adventures are memories he holds fondly.
26. He's slow and uneducated without much desire to learn. He also has issues with vanity and can be caught staring into a mirror at times.
27. Freedom is paradise. And one must work towards attaining freedom through personal training and surrounding ones self with others to help them stay unshackled.
28. Honestly relates to them more than most eorzeans. Rex is quick to feel like an outsider, but with the beast tribes it feels like everyone is on the same level.
29. Not being stronger when his parents died. What remained of the clan needed guidance and Rex got trampled over by more assertive members. It was his wounded pride that led to him accidentally falling into the ocean himself, getting lost as sea and ending up in Gridania. He thinks if it wasn't him, someone else would bear the burden of being the Warrior of Light. Maybe someone better.
30. Rex still can't read eorzean common. He always worms his way out of any tasks that require it, and is always thankful to have Y'shtola around since she'll happily take up the task.
