"Hiding this armor would only be wise if I knew it would not be found. If I were in my homelands I would hide it without question, but up here? It is better to keep it worn and on hand rather than trusting that such a valuable treasure will not be found. The people of the village already hold wary eyes for me, and them seeing me without my armor could be more unwelcoming than they already are."

What she said rang true, he said those words partially to test if she knew the true nature of the Northerners. They are a superstitious, and even warier bunch than most. Then never fully trust anyone who is not a Northerner. At this Ander pricked up a smile, "Indeed." he replied, shifting his stiff shoulders to crack them, "I have visited them a-many times and I can never fully wipe away the disdain and mistrust so I see what you mean."

"I am called Kiyanna. I hail from the southern lands as a mercenary after my home was razed by bandits."

Bandits... Those words stirred something inside Ander, for a brief second he looked bewildered but his expression was neutral in the next second. After shaking his head he made a mental note to remember her name. He had heard from his connections that the South seemed to suffer from bandit raids more than the North, so her words do have some foundation to them, even if she did lie, though he could tell that she didn't lie as her eyes faltered for a moment when she introduced herself.

"Yes. I am fishing. No luck thus far, since the stream seems to be naught but water. I followed some tracks here and I would dare challenge them as unnatural. They evaporated at the edge of this stream, and I've been trying to spear fish since. None have appeared that would be a respectable size for a meal and I wouldn't have the village people believe me to be over fishing the river if I caught several smaller fish."

Tracks... evaporating. It was indeed very peculiar, he could see why she was on edge. As he was taking in her words she snapped backwards, digging her her knees into the dirt and held a javelin upwards; ready to strike. He unintentionally drew his weapon at this sudden action but he held himself back somehow.

"I intend to keep traveling in this direction while I have light. If you wish to follow me, fine. But I am keeping everything I catch."

"A wise choice, it is much safer to be in company." he replied, drawing his sword back into the ornate scabbard. Before he could utter another word he felt something feral watching him, He couldn't tell exactly where but he somehow knew. There were many situations like this in the past, and his gut was almost always right. He dug his heel into the dirt and used his agility and magic. Almost seeming as if he 'appeared' next to Kiyanna, if one's eyes could follow his movement then they were trained well.

"Something's watching us, and I don't think it's human."

His eyes didn't lie, her muscles tensed up the moment he entered the stranger's field of vision, whom had a wary aura about her. She was fairly armoured up, moreso than a normal soldier infact, which was rare to see. Lugging around that much armour must be pretty cumbersome but the stranger did not appear to have fatigue of any sort. That aside metal was rare and a valued resource, it is expensive in most places.

"I carry it with me because metal is valuable. If I didn't, it would've been stolen by now. I also came to hunt, as the village is less than hospitable. Armor is good, as it will keep you alive if you become the hunted."

A voice called out, confirming his suspicion that it was a woman. "That's the catch, metal is fairly viable. As a ''trader'' of sorts, it would be most prudent to keep it hidden rather than schlepping it around as it could could bring unwarranted attention, no?" he replied in earnest, though his tone betrayed his words.

Her shoulders shifted, this nonchalant behaviour would be dismissed by many others, but Ander has seen this more than he would like to. The straps connecting to her shields looks loosened. She is more cautious than most, it explained how she was still alive this far North. The mere fact she carried weapons meant she was from the south. He actually had to fight the urge to test his mettle against this individual, as not many could. As he examined her, she seemed to do the same, her eyes scanning his body probably realizing that he looks too out of place to be from the north. Even her armour not being the normal design, especially her helmet being deathly out of place.

"Tell me your name, and I shall tell you my own."

It appeared that this lady knows more of the way of the warrior rather than keen conversing skill. "Common etiquette dictates that the askee be the one to reveal their identity first." Ander called out, letting a moment of uncomfortable silence fall between them before letting out a smirk and a titter, "I jest, I'm Ander. I am a... well, let's say jack of all trades- no, rather, a traveler of sorts." He bowed slightly during his rather short introduction.

"Now entertain my question if you mind; What, pray tell, is a warrior like yourself doing in these forests?" Ander asked, the bass catching his eye, "Fishing?"

---

---

---

In Depth Appearance;

Philippe stands at a bit over average height, at 5'10". His posture is usually lax and casual, befitting of his general disposition. His gaze is usually all over the place, unfocused and dull, until you somehow manage to catch his attention. His dirt blonde hair is left to their own devices, allowed to flow freely and rest on his face, with only an occasional, indolent swipe upwards to keep it out of his line of sight. He sports a slightly muscular, frequenting the gym and exercising on a weekly basis, thus allowing him to stay at around 145 pounds.

Clothing Style;

He prefers wearing plaid shorts, opened/unbuttoned with a clean white shirt underneath. He abstains from buying new clothes, as he sees no reason to buy new shirts if he still has wearable, decent ones, though if he sees it necessary he does so. His pants usually tend to be black, the style mattering little to him. His sneakers are old and worn out, preferring it that way.

Likes;

✔ Long walks in nature to clear his mind.
✔ Talks with depth and meaning.
✔ Cold weather.
✔ Cloud/Star gazing.
✔ Being able to see improvement.
✔ Smell of the ocean.
✔ Shitty jokes (of any kind).

Dislikes;

✘ Gossip - If you're going to say something, say it to their faces.
✘ Large crowds and noise, at times - Being unable to think vexes him.
✘ Others unaccepting of differing opinions; overly opinionated individuals.
✘ People who feel the need to scream during every rep.
✘ Being wilfully ignorant.

Habits;

• When in deep thought his eyes glaze unintentionally.
• Spinning his pen between his fingers when idle; so much so that it's fairly impressive.
• Fixes the crinkle of his clothes whenever he sees it (and if he's close enough with the other person, will try do so nonchalantly).
•Needlessly polite to others, even to his juniors.

Hobbies;

• Wandering aimlessly.
• Gym.
• Reading.
• Track and field.

Fears;

• Being controlled.
• Drowning.

Personality Traits;

Observant ツ Empathy ツ Free ツ Insightful

Personality;

To many others who really don't get to know him, Philippe seems uncaring and rather lazy. It is a fair assumption as he seems to not really care about what other think of him, his personality, clothing, attitude and the like. His actions can be said to be fully from his own choosing- normally not letting others opinions affect his, although he still takes them into (relatively careful) consideration. He really does not care for the social hierarchy of the school and such, and even goes out of his way to stop petty things like bullying and such- feeling empathy towards those who can't fend for themselves.

Though he doesn't try to be, he comes off as charismatic and easy to talk too, this is accentuated by his rather free spirited nature, coming off as a guy who seems like he will listen to your troubles with an open ear. This trait is further trained and developed with his job as a bartender, and him being somewhat easy on the eyes helps. Furthermore, he openly despises gossip and hearsay, not so much to himself but more towards his friends- antagonizing those that he shouldn't.

One of his most respectable but damning traits is his willingness to help, if he sees an individual in real need he can't help himself to, well, help them. Even the thing that can help them is out of his reach, he will try his damned hardest to do so, even at times being frightfully naive always trying to see the good in even bad situations. In that vein, it is hard to truly anger Philippe, but when you do it's something that one wouldn't expect it from, he dons a striking glare that pierces right through you, and he becomes more abrasive and more brutally sarcastic.

Place of Origin;

New Orleans, Louisiana.

Background;

Philippe was born from parents who came from nothing, both worked their way up the ladder and became successful. His parents while loving, and caring chose to teach that lesson in humility for their child Philippe- sending him enough money to get by, and a bit more during his birthdays or special occasions. They always taught him to be humble, and take special care in money as both his parents struggled immensely during their teenage lives. This nature had ingrained in Philippe, choosing to budget himself efficiently but still have a little fun on the side.

It also helped that got a scholarship, being somewhat clever and doing his duties. He never neglected study and set schedules for himself, this self-sufficiency was also emphasized by his parents. He also somehow attained a job as a bartender during his tenure in Hollywood university, and he was a natural at it, being able to read faces/emotions and body language easily and being a shoulder to lean on at times.

He had an honest love for computer sciences but is still deciding his permanent job, nevertheless he also has a knack for most things tech related. This was also part of his reputation on campus- the local 'it' guy that can help with your tech if need be. He always tries his best to help- even if he does fail at times. Otherwise he is usually seen on track jogging if he has nothing else to do, or just meandering about and appreciating the local beauty of nature on campus. He isn't really seen, or neither does he want to be seen as a 'popular guy', feeling that such things are completely unnecessary and trivial, making little to no effort to further his 'social status' being a "You get what you see." kind of guy.

Extra;

Hard to pick a favourite but the one I enjoy the most is Jack black.

_{► "Charlotte, huh? I see her around, gives off that popular kid vibe." ◄}

Philippe, being a newer arrival, hasn't really heard of the social hierarchy as of yet, though he does not care for it much eitherway. Though he himself does know that she's one of the top brass if there was a social hierarchy. Nothing much else to say, though he has glimpsed her appreciating the dawn and dusk on more than one occasion, and a person who can truly appreciate nature isn't a bad person in his book.

{☯} E D D I E . B E E C H M A N

_{► "I think I saw his nametag in the on-campus bookstore. He seemed pretty okay, if a little bit out there." ◄}

The few occasions he has met Eddie was in the bookstores, and he didn't really make a good-first impression but hey, not everyone does. Other than that he has caught him in a morning jog at times, though never really conversing due to not knowing each other. Overall, Philippe doesn't have much of a problem with him.

{☯} R O B E R T A . B R U C E

_{► "I actually don't know her to well, so no opinion." ◄}

Philippe scarcely sees Roberta around, partly due to their timings lining up, and having differing interests. He has heard that she enjoys the arts, and while he himself does, not to the extent that Roberta does. As such she pretty much remains a mystery to him, and will likely stay that way.

_{► "Kinda clumsy at times but his heart is in the right place." ◄}

Danny and Philippe are roommates, they quip and joke around with each other. Danny is one of the few people who understands the essence of why shitty jokes make individuals laugh, and such they resonate on stupid jokes together. Philippe has been actively encouraging him to attend the gym to take care of himself much better, and even actively helps him against his klutzy nature. They get along well enough, and are really good friends.

{☮} M A R K . A N D E R S O N

_{► "Mark is a chill, and one of the few that frequents the university gym." ◄}

Philippe and Mark are on friendly enough terms, nothing to really make them close or anything but they do have a few alligning interests, the most prominent being their interest in... well, the gym. They have spotted each other or idly conversed while doing their sets and reps, and as due to them having students schedules they pretty much go at around the same time. Other than that both can appreciate silence at times, making that another point where they can get along, even if it's nothing special.

{☯} P A R K E R . A S H F O R D

_{► "Who wouldn't know Parker, she's a tad 'well known' on campus." ◄}

Even Philippe has heard of her, despite not knowing her personally. Even when he tries to avoid gossip it seems like people can't stop talking about her.
Though Philippe himself has nothing really to worry about from her 'work' (in his case), and even if he personally does not agree with what she does at times he can see why she does what she does. He has indeed read her blog on more than a few occasions, but doesn't really actively seek it out. Though he does get a hearty chuckle whenever he spots the more popular individual come to talk to her, cause it's fairly obvious as to what they came there for.

_{► "She frequents the gym I go too, I think she's a trainer. Gave me some great insight in my routine on more than a few occasions." ◄}

Philippe encounters her occasionally in the university gym, and has struck up conversations pertaining to routines and such. He has see her outside of campus but seldom so, and he doesn't really know how to start a conversation, the one thing they talk about mostly is... well, gym stuff. He has spotted her reading books around the campus, and he appreciates a person who enjoys a good book.

{☮} T A B I T H A . F E R G U S O N

_{► "Ah a kindred spirit, kinda." ◄}

Tabitha and Philippe are fairly similar, they both are willing to look at perspectives different from their own and have a natural inclination towards admiring the silent beauty of nature. Both also relate to each other fairly well as they both require to finance their budgets, almost to a fault. Because of this they tend to have similar assessments of situations and can come to agreements easier than most. Even when she is more frugal, Philippe thinks she dresses well to the point where she would count amongst the prettiest, natural beauty and all that.

{☯} B E N J A M I N . H I L L

_{► "The local Tyrion Lannister eh? He exudes the aura of a partyman." ◄}

Philippe has heard tales of this whimsical and beaming man, he drifts from party to party, dorm to dorm and hall to hall. Maybe people either enjoy his presence or just openly disdain him. Personally Philippe thinks he's a pretty chill guy overall. It's a feat to have tales of you told to a person who barely has been here for two weeks. It's earned too, from the few times Philippe has seen it he basically exudes the aura of a partyman brimming with confidence.

{⚜} A N D Y . V A R G A S

---

_{► "He has more of a dislike towards the more mean spirited, rich type than I do despite being pretty popular himself." ◄}

Since Philippe is still relatively new, and so is Andy they are acquaintances for now. Though they do have no problems being within each other's company. His down-to-earth attitude is something that Philippe encourages, especially in a university like this where the rich now intermingle with the poor. Though he can see them becoming friends given time as they both have similar dispositions.

{⚜} C H R I S T I N A . P A T R I D G E

---

_{► "Tough nut that one, she's probably one of the more stubborn and hardminded folk I've come across, cause once her mind's set it's like cement." ◄}

Both are scholarship students, so they can relate to each other in a minuscule way. However thats where the similarities end (barring reading). Philippe has a distaste towards opinionated individuals. If they disagree with each other it can cause spats of sorts. Though he doesn't know her fully enough to make a conclusion about her character, the few times they've talked and met usually ended in a disagreement. Otherwise, if they agree they can get along well enough.
