The fall of Rabanastre was a dark time for many who called it home, not least of all for those conscripted against their will. Forced to fight, to relocate, to change. Shoved into a mold for conformity's sake.
Where once there was comfort, and boundless possibility
now lies an empty pit, and a longing to be anywhere else.
I went with New Hair today since it fit in nicely with his past. Him being forced to cut off a part of him that had been there for a century to fit in with the standard made him fiercely protective of it from then on.
I see his change in hair over MSQ as healing, and he'll be growing it out as much as possible as the story goes on. (I've yet to decide on a DT style, but this is from HW to EW. Though I am tempted to swap in the bun style for ShB)
During the events of Heavensward, when money may have been a bit tight, Amare did what he could in his off time to pitch in.
This led him to a very lucrative opportunity to work with a weaver of some renown as a model. The clothing was on the racy side, as Lucien sought to cater to people's more private affairs, but considering Amare isn't shy in the least, it didn't bother him. Plus, he made a friend in the process.
Lucien would go on to reach out to him whenever he happened to be in the area after that. Even if it was just to meet up for drinks.
