Hythlodaeus | Final Fantasy XIV

Character: Hythlodaeus | [personal profile] nomoresharks
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV, post-87 dungeon

About: Hythlodaeus is a member of an ancient race capable of creation magicks--essentially the ability to weave magic and make just about anything they had the mind to. While Hythlodaeus himself is terrible at the weaving of aether to work creation magick, he is incredible at seeing the intricacies of how it's woven and the flow of magic in the world as well as being able to see souls and discern their individual colors. This talent lead to him being the Chief of the Bureau of the Architect, essentially the DMV/patent office of Ancient society.

He is also a complete and total gremlin of a man just as likely to tease the everloving hell out of you as he is to be your biggest supporter.

Abilities: Hyth has gotten the hang of dreamotion over the months he's been in Reverein, to the point he has a much easier time of manipulating it than he does the aether of his home world (a fact he quite enjoys). As mentioned above, he is able to see souls and the weave of aether/magic in the world, which translates to dreamotion in Song. He's still figuring out the nuances of dreamotion/nightmare energy vs aether, but he's getting better at it, and should be able to help "sniff out" anything that needs finding, as well as provide advice here and there on how to go about making things.

PLANS
General: With Emet gone, Hyth is going to be a bit down in the dumps, but doing his best to hide it, keeping busy with whatever he can. He doesn't want to worry anyone with his own problems, so feel free to call him out on it. Beyond that, I'm not entirely sure where I want his character development to go, but one thing I would like to do is to explore the rather... utilitarian view on creation (both of objects and creatures alike) that his people have, as well as having him face more and more of the reality that death isn't always as peaceful and beautiful for other people as it is for his own.

That said, after getting bowled over by the holidays in the latter half of December, I'm getting back into things now so if you haven't gotten a tag back from me yet, you should get one soon! And if you don't and still want to continue a thing, please let me know! This goes for Angela too.

Dream Board: I'm kind of tempted to have him look into the dark crystals, but don't have anything set in stone.

CR Dreams: While I'm open to most everything, as mentioned above I'd love to have someone who's willing to call out his people's way of living to make him think about both it and his place in the world a little more.
