Emet-Selch

Player: Chips
Character: Emet-Selch
User Name: [personal profile] emet_sulk
Alliance: Paladin

Personality: Short of the actual gods, Emet-Selch is one of the most powerful adversaries the Warrior of Light faces in FF14. To the average mortal/human, he WOULD be considered one - however, he considers himself a regular man and he lives and dies the same way (even if said life is practically indefinite). Amongst his own people, he was known as a powerful and competent mage with particularly sharp Soulsight: the ability to perceive things at the aetherial level.

As an individual, he's rather solitary and standoffish and doesn't make friends easily. But he cares more than he lets on.

Appearance: His icons are deceptive. He actually dresses more like this (or at least he will once he has enough money for clothes that aren't scary Ascian robes).

Handwaved Interactions/Assumed CR:
- Emet-Selch tends to keep to his own cabin/room a lot of the time and will snap at people who try to enter without knocking. He will have a ward on the door to stop people going in while he's away from the ship.

- He does take regular meals but doesn't go out of his way to speak to people unless they open conversation first. When not with company, one can catch him staring out over the sea.

- If you have had a non-negative thread with him he will at least offer a snarky smile/smirk in greeting and be more open to conversation. The difference in how much he speaks when he knows you versus when he doesn't is extremely obvious.

- If he does drink alcohol, he drinks wine or other strong, 'sophisticated' spirits. He's a morose drunk but he rarely drinks enough for it to be a problem to others.

- When Emet-Selch performs minor magic, he snaps his fingers. There's no particular, obvious reason why.

- When saying goodbye, he has a peculiar little wave.

- He has been adopted by a white-furred warrior cat called Troutleap who helps keep the rat population down on the ship. The cat can be seen soliciting attention from Emet and napping in his lap when not working. Troutleap is rather possessive of their owner and is known to climb up to Emet's shoulder and stare unnervingly at anyone who tries to take up too much of Emet's time.

- Speaking of which, Emet-Selch also likes to nap a lot himself. So you can often find him and Troutleap doing just that around the ship (e.g. the thickest part of the top mast).
