Memorist, author, explorer, fisherman, diplomat-at-large

At a Glance

  • Six fulms three ilms tall, and muscular; can be mistaken for a Highlander in passing, but definitely Midlander in face and proportions.

  • Smile is flawless and unironic. Conventionally handsome.

  • Appears to be in his young 20's.

  • Bright green eyes, hair has a slight reddish tinge in sunlight.

  • The lenses of his spectacles are plain glass, lacking the "warp" of corrective lenses.

  • Very energetic and alert. Coffee might be a bad idea.

  • Odd accent; his words seem to be formed toward the front of his mouth, and he pronounces the final "r" in words rather crisply. Still comprehensible, but certainly foreign.

Rumors

  • He seems quite adept with any weapon he picks up.

  • Speculation abounds as to why he calls his axe "Gertrude". Some say it was his mother's name; others, a former lover. Obviously, his perennial response of "Because I picked it up and the name Gertrude just popped into my head" is just a deflection.

  • He speaks quite a few languages: Eorzean Common, some stripe of Allag, and something that sounds suspiciously like Old Bozjan. He also seems to understand more than he lets on...

  • He's traveling the world and is writing several books all at once.

  • He's probably a dragon. Or a primal. Or a dragon primal. From Garlemald. Nobody this nice could possibly be for real. He must be up to no good.

  • Every so often, someone claims to have seen him somewhere he's never been--but he always has an alibi...

Obligatory OOC

  • I actually did write--and am still writing--Ceredan's books. You can see them for yourself at The Memorist's Path.

  • I prefer to keep away from "adult" content in RP; there are things you should never learn about your friends.

  • Ceredan smokes a pipe occasionally--usually when he's trying to cope with runaway thoughts. This is not an endorsement of tobacco use; it's simply the in-game culture. Don't smoke in real life, kids.

  • I'm a staccato-style roleplayer; I prefer to hit enter after every sentence or action. I figure turns shouldn't be more than a couple seconds long, like IRL, so I try to inject as many opportunities to interrupt, interject, or simply respond as possible. You're in this RP, too!
