Vestus

It was surprising how well the woman received his story, though it was likely partially due to his demeanor and the embellishments he put on it. However, Bastien seem to take it just as well as she did, though possibly had been annoyed by his insistence on buying Corine a meal. Vestus, however, was simply glad that they had successfully formed a team for a fight that would likely yield them enough gil for a stay at the inn. ”My name is Vestus by the way, a Guardian from Songdae,” He said as Bastien left to do the paperwork ”It will be a pleasure to work with you and I’m truly sorry you had to put up with that big lug pestering you to help out in a hunt.”

Vestus sighed and looked over towards Bastien, making a mental note to trip him at some point for forcing him to run after the chocobo. ”Anyway, I can keep up fine with the chocobo, though I have only seen them on farms. It is rare to ride a chocobo into battle, at least from what i know. Especially if one is from Frinia, yes?” Though Vestus had already spent almost a year in Raelin, he had only seen one or two people riding chocobos and heard numerous stories of the famed knights of Frinia. It was hard to believe that Corine was from Frinia but without horse, though perhaps it was simply circumstance that had bound her to a chocobo.

However before she could answer, Bastien came back from the attendant counter with the papers in hand. It was at that moment that Vestus felt a slight bit of anxiety at their situation. They were to go fight a pack of wolves, a B-rank hunt, and none of them had ever fought together. It was entirely possible that both Corine or Bastien had dubious abilities in combat. Or simply would pair well together. However, he shook this feeling off and looked between his two new companions. ”We should get moving while we still have the time, we do not want to to be too dark when we come back,” He said as he stepped back and headed down the stairs of the Guild.

Though many option presented themselves before Vestus, there were few among them that he had actually found interesting. Fighting chocobos wasn’t exactly a challenge, the slimes were something he was unskilled to do as they were rather resistant to being hit. The wolves and the wyverns were the only ones of interest, though the wolves may prove difficult even for him to handle if they are in large numbers. However, as enamored in the hunts as he was, Vestus soon found himself with an arm over his shoulder.

He was not surprised to find that it was the rough man from before that he had noted, the blonde woman not far away seeming rather displeased with him. However, the man droned on about how he was just looking for another adventurer to pair up with. Another adventurer to work with him and Vestus, though Vestus himself had never seen the man at all. Though, none of this stopped him as he realized it was the perfect chance to challenge the C rank hunt for the wolves and easily get some money out of it. ”Ah yes, there is no reason to worry about my friend’s integrity,” Vestus said as he pat him on the chest with a faux smile.

”Were it not for fate, I never would’ve met this big lug,” He laughed and looked over at the blonde woman, ”You seen, all those years ago we were paired together by chance to fight a boar. The farmer said it was just a normal boar but oh boy was he wrong. It was a dire boar and it damn near would’ve killed him had I not been there” Vestus paused and looked over at the board, trying to seem lost in his memories though questioning if he should truly go on with the plot. ”Since then, he and I have been inseparable,” With a smile he simply looked at the man, ”I save his ass when he gets in trouble and we do hunts together. Now we are faced with looking to do more difficult hunts but find ourselves lacking an extra.”

Vestus pointed at the hunt with the wolves, the highest ranking hunt they could possibly take without a license. ”We are taking that one right there, both for the money and cause it means we can prove ourselves. If you help out, you’ll get a cut of the pay and,” He said with a pause to think, ”How about this, I’ll even buy you a meal. And by mean, I mean my friend here will since he’s the one who’s been trying to recruit you. What do you say?

Few cities were ever more grand than the one which Vestus approached, looking in wonder at the wooden and stone buildings. Only a few of the richer cities in Songdae ever would have come close to Valennia, though none but Jinsheong matched the wondrous city. However, the sights were not what Vestus was there for, no he had come to Valennia for the Adventurer’s Guild. Little money flowed from the deeds he did to help people, more often ending with him spend his nights camping in the forest and eating only bread. The Guild was a chance to change that, to hunt monsters that have plagued the people of Raelin.

The road to Valennia had been a long one, one which had worn on Vestus even with his training. His clothing was covered in dust, his armor no longer shined as it once did. However, his sword still shined and he showed not the hunger which plagued him as he walked past the taverns, what little coin he had unable to buy him even a room and a warm meal. But he had trudged on so far and the grand building of the Guild was well within sight.

The crowds which milled about the Guild were of the usual sorts, men and women looking to earn cash off of the bills posted on the board, though some were simple attendants to the absolutely massive building. Vestus had seen many different Guild halls but this one, the one here in Valennia, was by far the largest in comparison. Though the sight of it had only stopped him for a moment, passing behind a chocobo, on his way in and towards the nearest board. The one which he happened to stop by seemed packed with contracts, though equally so with people. However, two stood out from among the usual, a woman with blonde hair and a rather rough look man.

Final Fantasy: Reverence [Spots Open]

Vestus, Guardian

Name:
Vestus Caladria

Age:
27

Gender:
Male

Nationality:
Songdae

Heritage:
Raelian/Songdaenese

Personality:
Vestus cares for others, probably more so than he should considering there are many he has met that only have hate for him due to his heritage. However, this has never stopped him from trying his best to change their minds, even if it means being injured in the process. Perhaps this is what drove him on to become a Guardian, the belief that he could prove to everyone that, just because he is part Raelian, he isn’t a devil. Though, it is also possible that being a Guardian was simply the natural thing to do.

Though few have ever sought out Vestus with the intent to be friends with him, those few who have have found a man who is the most stalwart friend they’ve ever had. He is ever kind, ever an optimist, and ever outgoing. He seems to be the life of the party, at least when he is not busy doing his duty to others. Vestus holds strong to the belief that serving and protecting others is his goal in life, both as his stance as a Guardian and to defy his estranged family.

Biography:
Much of Vestus’ young life were the aftershocks of the choices of his parents, the choices of an Songaenese aristocrat to elope with a disgraced Raelinian knight. It was a year before Vestus was born that his mother was disowned by her family as she eloped with his Father, a choice that she later came to regret due to the poverty and hatred which was forced unto Vestus. Many months later, Vestus was conceived and his father, staying true to his disgraceful nature, disappeared in the middle of the night with all of the money. Vestus was born into poverty, hated by many of the adults of the small village he and his Mother lived in.

However, his life is not a sob story of how hated he was by everyone for he was not a bastard child, no he was loved by his Mother. The children which he grew up with treated him no different than they would treat other Songaenese children, only being pulled away by their parents when found to be playing with a child of such unsavory origins. Much of his young life was, as is safe to say, rather normal for a child, aside from the discrimination. He played with the other village children, learned how to read and write from his mother, and eventually grew up.

However, life was not easy as he got older. The children changed as they became teens, as many often do, and followed their parent’s advice. “Avoid that boy, he is the product of a devil. Hate him, he is one of the people who killed our ancestors.” The words did not hurt so much as being pushed away by people who were once friends were. Or worse, being jumped in an alley by the same boys which he ran through the wheat fields with years ago. All for being Raelinian.

But he would stand tall about who he was, proud that he is proof that their people can unite if it were not for the past atrocities of his father’s ancestors. Vestus sought to change the minds of those around him, protect them from any harm he could. He sought out the Songdaenese military, joining with the intent to further his goals. It was in training that he encountered one of the few remaining Guardians of the Army, a man by the name of Faelin Shu. Though hesitant on taking in the young Vestus, hardly even 17 at the time, for training as a Guardian, Faelin eventually gave in after months of being pestered.

The training to become a Guardian was not easy, it wasn’t simple workouts and swordsmanship. No, becoming a Guardian required Vestus to learn how to withstand the blows of a man much stronger than him, to get back up after every time he fell. Guardian training was as much mental as it was physical, a true test of his will and perseverance. It wasn’t until Vestus was 25 that Faelin believed him ready to be named a Guardian. Soon after, Vestus rejoined the Sondaenese army and spent a few years in service, rather happily so. That is until he abruptly deserted during a mission.

It was a simple mission, drop in and check on the safety of Songdaenese citizens on a small island along their borders. However, when they arrived they were told that the city had been captured by pirates and were ordered to open fire upon any boats trying to leave the port and siege the city. It wasn’t until days later that they finally landed, only to find that their captain had, in fact, ordered them to fire at unarmed civilians. The reason? They were believed to be spys for Raelin, at least that is what he had told Vestus. It was then that Vestus, disgusted with what he and his fellow men had done, took a boat for another island. From there, he sailed to Raelin with the intent to live out the rest of his life as a mercenary, making up for the atrocity which he had committed.

Combat

Level:
25

Class:
Guardian (Soldier-Knight Hybrid)- The Guardian is a remnant from the time in which Raelia ruled over Songdae, a now dying breed of soldier as the prominence of guns keeping growing on battlefields. Guardians specialize in protecting their allies in combat, though often at the cost of movement and combat effectiveness. Despite this, the Guardian is immensely effective when his allies are strong fighters and will support them with minor healing and buffs.

Best Offense is a Strong Defense- All techniques have their damage reduced by 10%, in turn defensive techniques are 10% more effective.
Hardened Body- Skills which would stun or knockback Vestus are less effective.
One For All- Takes 20% less healing from spells but has defense increased by 10%.

Strength: 6
Dexterity: 4
Mind: 0
Piety: 3
Speed: 2
Defense: 9 (+1)
Soul: 1

Equipment

Main Weapon:
Nym-The Sabre of the Moon- Nym is a special sword, not in the sense that is magical but simply in the sense that few have ever wielded it. It is a heirloom from his estranged family, a cavalry sabre made from steel.

A large wooden shield capped in metal

Partial set of plate armor (Cuirass, rerebrace, vambrace, hauberk, and gauntlets)

A Tale of Owls and Wolves (Casual Version)

The selection of carts and variety of products being sold throughout the festival astounded Andrea, though it seemed somewhat similar to the few times she ever visited Azeroth. However, she had to hold herself back so as not to buy any of the items which she didn’t need, especially since so many seemed somewhat expensive despite being a bit lower quality than she’d like. It wasn’t long before her attention was drawn from a set of necklaces when a man pushed her aside as he was running. She had barely gotten a look at him before she saw another person follow soon after, realizing then that the man was likely a thief and the other a guard trying to catch him.

It was for this reason that Andrea decided she’d help catch the thief, though it also was due to the fact that the thief had taken his coin pouch when he pushed past her. With only a few seconds of hesitation she broke into a dead sprint, knocking a few people out of her way as she pushed to catch up with the thief. The barefoot man was fast, faster than her, though there was only so long he could keep running before tiring. As such, she slowed down slightly and caught up with the man pursuing him. He seemed… average for the usual human she had encountered, the only thing that stood out seemed to be the scars on his face. And one on his hand.

”What did the thief steal from you,” Andrea said between breaths, ”Was it something important? Perhaps a letter or some gold?” She looked forward and watched the thief carefully so as to not lose sight of him any time soon. She then held up her right hand in front of both of them. ”A letter that left you with this mark just like mine,” She said as quietly as she could. She hadn’t thought it possible that any other had received the letter than her, let alone that she’d encounter them. However, if there were others with the mark then she had to know, it was the best way to figure everything out that was going on at this damned festival.
