PERSONALITY

( WIP )

Honestly if you're looking for anything other than incoherent ramblings, I'm very. VERY SORRY.

Over all, Theo is pretty calm and collected. A little withdrawn and keeps primarily to himself. He most certainly is the person that doesn't really speak unless spoken to first and prefers to remain on the fringes of groups or even out of sight. Most conversations from the start are direct and to the point. Some of this comes from just being Viera in general and then even more so from being a male Viera in particular.

Getting to know him will bring out his more playful side. Now if you ask him, it is entirely the Scion's fault. He had been somewhat respectable and kept things pretty close to the chest - as a proper Viera outside of the Wood should - but they just kept dragging him out of his shell. So here he is, lightly making jokes. More teasing than anything else. Oh there is an impish side to him, but that is definitely reserved to more personal, private affairs.

That being said, his protective streak does run pretty deep. Honestly his doesn't stem from being the Warrior of Light and Darkness nor does it have anything to do with adventuring or simply following after what he believes is right. It's just how he has been raised, really. A male Viera's role is more of a guardian of the Wood. Their entire purpose is dedicated toward the art of protecting. That is what really drives him beyond all other things. Yet he cares deeply for his comrades and companions and is willing to throw himself into the fray if it means that someone else does not have to. If it means saving even one more life.

Though do remember that he is Viera. This means that his outlook on life is a bit different than some of the other Spoken races. When he had been younger, he had been ruthless. There is a reason that for a time no one had ever laid eyes on the males of the Viera race. One doesn't just disable their enemy or invader - they kill them. At the time Theo hadn't seen anything wrong with this. His viciousness hadn't been born out of hatred or malice. It had been done simply out of necessity. There are moments where this still comes out in him, but the decades spent away from the Jungle and interacting with the world in general has tempered this greatly.

I'll keep working on this as I flesh things out and sort my thoughts.

HISTORY

( WIP ) Around the 1520's, Thivir is born as the third ( and last ) child. He grows up relatively normal, as many Viera children do. His oldest niece is the same age as he, so they often get into trouble. Thivir is something of a troublemaker, curious and ornery. At the same time he is kind and gentle, going out of his way to help his sisters and his mother with whatever they would have him do. It's not until he is about 16 that he actually is discovered to be male and shortly after that is Thivir taken away from the village to be instructed in the ways of other male Viera and what their responsibilities are.

Initially, Thivir struggles. His mentor is not kind in his approach to training and lessons. He often talks down to Thivir and mentions how the Wood is going to remove weakness one way or another. Either Thivir will have to kill a part of himself or the Wood is going to get rid of him. There is no room for someone who cannot raise a blade. This is where Thivir's stubbornness kicks in and he wants to prove his mentor wrong, that he can survive this. That he will survive this. Thus does he strive to become a proper guardian of the Wood and finds that he's rather proficient at it. At some point he is given the name "Djt-Dvre" simply due to how fast he strikes. So he spends the next decade or two complying and doing as he has been taught with little regard to the lives that he takes, intruders that have no place and have not heeded the warnings.

Until the Echo.

It's actually the Echo that drives him away from from his home in Golmore. A particularly rough experience with it shook him enough that he couldn't complete his duties without thinking about the consequences. Each person that he had laid low had family, friends, dreams and aspirations. After a flashback that had resulted in him letting someone go, Thivir had to take a long, hard look at himself. That's when he decides to leave. He no longer belongs to the place that he had called home for so long. Knowing that he would not be returning again, he takes a couple of things with him before departing.

For a time, he just works through a handler, who would meet up with him and give him jobs to do. There's plenty to do in Nagxia with the Imperials constantly at peoples' heels. Plenty of beasts and monsters that need slaying. The idea of going to Eorzea had never even crossed his mind until he had heard of the failed campaign at Carteneau. If they are succeeding in pushing back the Empire, then Thivir would like to know how it is that they are accomplishing such things. That's when he decides to make his way over and head towards the city-state of Gridania.

The rest is, well. History as they say.
