At the age of six(6), he creates his first amateur artificial intelligence software, Jenova, and places her into a mechanical butterfly. Outside of Jenova, Vivian has made a handful of music boxes.

In his spare time outside of building strange inventions, Vivian would practice playing piano.

He was seemingly born with an ECHO, but never understood its purpose or merits. To him, it was just night terrors and strange happenings. Regardless, he is told not to speak of it.

At age fourteen(14), Vivian is accepted into the Magitek Academy for his proficiency and skills. Though he did not have the names like Scaeva or Garlond behind him, Vivian excelled in his craft and graduates with impressive honors.

After graduation he has a short stint as a medicus in his mother's unit, allowing him to learn basic and emergency medical procedures, as well as help him learn how to remain calm during a chaotic situation.

He is soon offered an engineering apprenticeship in the capital under the Royal Family science divisions. He was more than eager to accept.

The Empire's interest in Vivian seemed to go deeper than just his ECHO, though Vivian never bothered to find out why.

How Vivian manages to escape is something he is not willing to indulge. But it is here that he earns his signature scar that drags from the middle of his brow down to the edge of his left jaw.

Once far enough, Vivian collapses in the Corvos and awakens again in Thavnair, rested on a medical cot and overlooked by an imposing hrothgar woman named Radha.

He remains in Thavnair until he recovers just enough to travel, and boards a ship heading to Limsa Lominsa.

He is considered dead by the Imperial army.

Once he reaches Limsa, Vivian comes to the doors of the Dutiful Sisters of Edelweiss and while they agree to take him in with the proposition of making him a rogue.

He would spend the next handful of months learning the tricks and trades of their work. To present day, Vivian is still a rogue for the Dutiful Sisters.

Vivian would begin forming his crew through hiring ex-pirate Caliban & ex-songstress Yayoi. Later expanding with more former criminals or misfits of some kind.

As for his ECHO.. he makes little use of it. Preferring to pretend it never existed at all.

MBTI: n/a

ENNEAGRAM: TYPE 5W6— the problem solver.

TEMPERAMENT: Melancholic

Words go here.

Vivian will often bow when thanking someone or as a way to say goodbye. This can vary from a gracious head-bow to partially bending his torso, and so forth.

Talks a lot with his hands, and more so when he is excited or enthusiastic about a subject. In a way, it is easy to tell his mood because of this. He will be more restrained and stiff when unsure or angry, and more fluid when relaxed or happy.

His tone when he speaks is quite monotone, deadpan, even when he is being sincere. He also tends to pause in thought, and can sometimes feel as though one is talking to a brick wall because of it.

Seemingly prone to sleepwalking; waking up in places that he did not originally fall asleep in. Though no one has ever actually seen it happen. That being said, Vivian tends to go for days without sleep before he just blacks out.

Has a distinctly garlean accent mashup with limsan rogue tongue, but he is at the very least good at hiding the rogue part (unless comfortable with someone or extremely angry, it will slip). Though he often hopes that the ilsabardian part is too unrecognizable by Eorzeans to be questioned.

Vivian can play piano. This was something that he learned and practiced as a child due to his mother's influence, and though he is not often around pianos, he still remembers how to play.

His strange aether often messes with the perception of those around him, causing him to get mistaken for a viera due to his big ears. This includes his choice of weapons; often appearing as scythes even when they are just staves.

Vivian has a handful of mechanical inventions and companions.

Vehicle of choice is his Fenrir Motorcycle.

Wears a light blue crystal around his neck. Don't touch it.

He looks like a lightweight with alcohol, but he can drink most people under the table.

Extremely reckless; feral in a fight. Wants to die, and thus holds no self-preservation for his life. Fate often has different ideas, however.

He likes animals & beasts more than people. Dragons especially.

Vivian handles being healed aetherially & light magics poorly.

i. Zero-tolerance policy for bigotry, transphobia, homophobia, and racism.

ii. I am 21+ and am most comfortable if my writing partners are as well.

iii. I am open to all types of RP, but I am most interested in dark/mature themes.

iv. Your characters are welcome to harm or attempt to kill Vivian. The results will most certainly vary! (All I ask is that you give me a heads up or ask!)

v. In regards to romantic interest. I am multiship. I have and will have more than one ship that are their own alternate universe. I am very selective.

vi. That being said, I welcome any friendship/rivalry/enemy, etc. Any friendship with Vivian will effectively always be a slow burn, as Vivian is not an easy man to get along or tolerate.

vii. IC =/= OOC. Vivian is not a good or nice person. What Vivian says or does is not a reflection of me or an indication that I dislike you or your character.

viii. Erotica will never happen in-game, but I am fine discussing it in discord.

ix. I am happy to do short-term / one-shots in-game, but anything longer will need to happen on discord (I apologize for the inconvenience). In that same vein, please be patient with me! I am a slow writer and enjoy doing other things in my spare time such as raiding and drawing!

x. Outside of RP, Vivian is my Warrior of Light, and thus most of what I will write/illustrate for him on social media will be under that impression.
