Traits

Arseni has learned to play the role of a lord perfectly. He knows all manner of formality from every corner of Eorzea, of now and years past. Everything from his attire to the way he holds himself drips of nobility, for better or worse.

The life of a Wood-warder is one of isolation, and his subsequent years of living as a criminal have failed to develop his relationship skills. Aside from ingratiating to highborns, all he knows is the manners of his tribe, and struggles to interact with most people.

An ever-present fear of exile and a need to survive over 200 odd years have led Arseni to a specific, but developed skill set. He is an adept thief, capable of everything from base pickpocketing to high profile heists with little to no help. Similarly, he’s kept his Wood-warding skills sharp and is able to survive in the wild with nothing but the clothes on his back.

Though a talented hunter, he has no mind for tactics nor the strength to brute force combat. He is easy to feint and easier to overpower, making him useless in a fight. He knows this well, and would sooner give up or run away than suffer injuries.

A devotee to the arts, Arseni has learned nigh everything there is to learn. He knows much of the history of most art forms, the ways in which they are made, the source materials and where they are derived, and much more. Though typically relegated to impressing his high-class associates, he often uses this knowledge for himself to appraise the legitimacy of a piece, with quite good accuracy.

His upbringing provided him an education in raw skills, one which he is deeply grateful for, but that has failed to prepare him for city life. Too prideful to seek tutoring and too recluse to make friends who would help, the only thing he can reliably do is speak Common.
