  PERSONALITY    His friends would likely describe him as playful and sarcastic; Always with a joke or a quip for just about everything. Sometimes a bit empty in the head, but with a good heart. However, his otherwise straightforward attitude often lends him to breaking social graces; often with embarrassment and apology at the ready.
He's a bit of a shameless flirt, unafraid to let you know what he's thinking. And though he can enjoy a good game of cat-and-mouse, he much prefers those who are direct with their intentions and speak their mind.

⸺  Biography

Arc's was born deep within the Golmore Jungle, alongside his twin sister, Meraii. Their mother was their tribe's most gifted healer, herbalist, and marksman with a wooden spoon. Their father; a wandering skald from the Skatay tribes; left soon after their birth to join the Bozjan Resistance. His songs and dances gave way instead to the sharp sounds of gunfire and the guerrilla tactics of war.
When Arc came of age, he followed the expected path of a rava-born male, training to become a Wood Warder. Yet without his father to train him, he was left with a new master: a man bound to him by blood, but fiercer an enemy than any beast of the green would ever be. His harshness and the rigid demands of tradition soon turned that calling to ash in his heart. Disillusioned and unwilling to endure further cruelty, he abandoned his training and the only home he had ever known.
His path eventually led him to Eorzea, where chance and kindness offered him what the jungle never had: belonging. There, he built a new life among his found family, dedicating himself to repaying the hospitality once shown to him with loyalty and open hands.
Today, Arc owns both his former employer’s artisan house and his own establishment, a tavern and hunting guild known as The Speared Hare. When not on a hunt or fulfilling a contract, he finds it difficult to stay still for long. Ever restless, Arc roams far and wide, returning home only to share stories, restock his shelves, and add another bottle of liquor—or a trinket from some distant corner of the world—to his growing collection.

  APPEARANCE    Though Arc takes pride in his appearance, there’s a roughness to him that speaks of long days on the road—sunspots freckle his face and shoulders, and his hair is a perpetually tousled mess. Yet for a man who spends much of his time in the wild, he maintains himself with surprising care.
Most striking are the intricate floral tattoos that wind across much of his body, each one a living memory—marks of stories, places, and loved ones etched into his skin along his journey.
His right eye hosts a small smattering of scars from a long-since-lost fight. Serving as a constant reminder that he was once not strong enough to protect the ones he loved. A wound that left a far deeper scar in his heart than his face.

  Golmore Exile   
Arc was raised in the traditional ways of the tribal Viera, sent into the jungle to train under a mentor and one day serve as a Wood Warder. His master, however, was cruel and unforgiving; harsh beyond reason, perhaps out of spite more than discipline. Events during his training ultimately drove Arc to flee Dalmasca altogether, and he has not returned since.
Needless to say, it’s not a subject he’s fond of discussing.  Lazy Sell-sword   
Trained in the depths of the Golmore Jungle and later refined alongside the Temple Knights of Ishgard, Arc has developed a distinctive; if unorthodox; fighting style. Yet rather than pledge himself to the Temple Knights or the Twin Adders, he instead spent years serving as a bodyguard to a humble goldsmith—the woman who took him in and offered him a new life in Eorzea.
Though his skill with a lance is undeniable to anyone who’s seen him fight, convincing him to actually pick up a weapon often requires a fair bit of motivation.  Far-traveler    :
Few things bring Arc as much joy as the road itself. He’s driven by wanderlust, always chasing new horizons, good company, and better drink. Whether traveling for work, curiosity, or a change of scenery, he rarely returns home empty-handed, usually with a handful of stories, a few mystery bottles of liquor, and plans for the next journey already in mind.

Intimacy Style:
Switch/ Vers. Top/ Dom Preferred.
Arc approaches intimacy with quiet confidence and a steady hand. He prefers to know what his partners like, setting the pace and tone with calm authority. He shows strength with restraint—control that never feels forced, but always without question.
While having a preference for gentleness, Arc doesn’t shy from intensity, or even a little ferocity, when it’s invited. His connections thrive on balance, trust, and understanding.
Relationships:
Arc has never been one to confine affection to narrow definitions. His heart moves freely, unbound by the idea that love belongs to only one person or takes a single form. He values honesty and communication above all else with those who share his orbit and is open to any new connections or encounters those relationships may bring.
He drifts comfortably between solitude and connection. Content in his independence, yet deeply loyal to those who choose to remain close. Whether this is from his upbringing in the viera culture, or something cultivated from his own journey, Arc believes that love and relationships know no borders or exclusivity and should be freely expressed and explored with those he finds attraction to. Though he has entertained the idea of bonding once before - it is not something he considers lightly.
