1. Does your character enjoy the sea?

“It’s not so bad!  Considering I went to a school in a nation surrounded by the sea, it’s hard to dislike it.  The smell’s rather nice, the waves are relaxing to listen to…though I’m afraid I don’t have the stomach to be out on the seas for long.  Sailing just isn’t for me, sorry!”

2. How does your character feel about piracy?

“Hmm….I’m not keen on it, but I admit there have been instances where piracy has been good!  For instance, the Admiral’s current laws on piracy has it that pirates are encouraged to raid Garleans, and I know that there have been and still are pirates who follow a code of honor.  In the end, piracy has its place.”

3. Is your character adventurous?

“Hah!  That’s like asking if the sun sets and rises!  If I wasn’t adventurous, I wouldn’t have even left my house!  I’d still be a little bum in Gridania, ehehe!”

13. How important is formal education to your character?

“As a diplomat for Ishgard, I say yes.  As as duelist, I still say yes.

….But personally, I think that formal education has still only taught me so much.  A lot of what I have learned came from experience.  Formal education is good for preparing one for the beginning, but experience will always teach one much more than a lesson in a safe space.  That’s not to say one should forego formal education entirely, though.  Please, get a teacher.”

14. Is your character secretive?

“Hmhm.  What do you think?”

15. How does your character view magic?

“Magic is a tool, much like a sword or a spear.  It is versatile, and can achieve many things.  Destruction or succor, it is ultimately up to the wielder.  But it is very dangerous, as the War of the Magi proved.  If used irresponsibly, it will wreak havoc not only on the user, but on anything around them - be it their environment, or other people.   Experimentation is extremely dangerous, and those who try are either brave, or fools.

Ah, but don’t be mistaken.  I think magic is fantastic.  It just has to be in the right hands.”

Ul'Dah and Sharlayan!!

Is your character a royalist or monetarist? (Do they side with the crown or the syndicate?)The Syndicate, so I suppose that makes me a monetarist.

How does your character feel about the influx of Ala Mhigan refugees?

I’m not very bothered by them, they have no other home to go to after that damn army took theirs from them. 

How important is wealth to your character?

Not very, I only need just enough to keep my gear in good repair and my weapon sharp. It’s hard to impale monsters and primals with a dull spear.

How important is formal education to your character? 

It’s always important to keep learning. As for me I prefer it mostly to be mythology and history, I like to learn everything that I can when it comes to the primals and of past warriors.

Is your character secretive?

No, but there are things that I will not tell certain people if I don’t feel that it will be beneficial.

How does your character view magic?

As long as it’s keeping me alive or helping me fight I don’t really mind it.
