avi’li sostomi

thank you @thevikingwoman for tagging me! here is avi because I can’t resist talking about him ever

basics

Name: Avi’li Sostomi

Nicknames: Lia, formerly just used within his family and clan, but he has recently taken to introducing himself as Lia. Most of Thavnair knows him by that name, and he will introduce himself as Lia in Tural.

Age: 32 as of Dawntrail

Nameday: I can’t remember, but he’s a Leo

Race/Clan: Miqo’te, Keepers of the Moon

Gender/pronouns: Cisman, he/him

Orientation: Bisexual, demi-romantic

Profession: Warrior of Light, adventurer by trade, hero by circumstance

physical aspects

Hair: A cool white

Eyes: bright jade green

Skin: cool pale skin, with pink undertones

Tattoos/scars:

facial tattoos that represent age in his clan for men (one side is tattooed when you’re a teenager, the other side if tattooed when you become an adult; Avi’li got his second set of tattoos after Stormblood)

covered in scars from numerous battles; most notably is the gaping scar over his heart

family

Parents: Read about Avi and Toki’to here

Siblings: Read about Aya, Sina, Fen, and Toa here

Grandparents: He would only know his maternal grandparents, who are both dead now, but he had fond memories of them that are TBD.

Other: The Fourtemps, who he will always think fondly of, and keep in his heart; the Scions, who he is forever devoted to for as long as he loves

skills

Abilities: so many… he’s primarily a blade wielder, and channels his aether into a variety of weapons (PLD, NIN, DRK, DNC); recently picked up and is practicing with a bow, turns out he’s a pretty good marksman, all of that target practice with lightning must have helped his aimed (BRD)

Special mention, he has charisma and rizz for days

Hobbies: picking up any intellectual pursuit that interests him at the time (SMN, SCH, AST, SGE, alchemy, etc…MCH*)

MCH: picked up as a favor to Aymeric; Avi’li and Stephanivien actually have a lot in common in how much they love experimenting with shit; Avi’li is NOT happy about this fact

traits

Most Positive Trait: the limitless, transformative love he has for others; his love runs deep and is often overwhelming for him to wrap his mind around, but he loves so strongly; should a friend leave his side, go their own way, never to be seen for years after, Avi’li will still love them as strongly as before; should a romance end, hearts broken, Avi’li won’t just stop loving them, his love for them transforms into something different but just as powerful

Most Negative Trait: his selfishness; it’s something he’s grown out of and sunken into in waves; he is the spoiled youngest of his family and empathy and compassion and patience for others is something that he had to hone and refine

likes

Colors: he doesn’t have a favorite color, but he likes dressing in cool, jewel tones

Smells: Maple, pine, mint, coconut

Textures: Soft surfaces you can sink into, sand beneath your feet, warm surfaces in the sun

Drinks: Black coffee

other details

Smokes: no

Drinks: yes; overindulges in social settings

Drugs: probably

Been arrested: I’m 95% sure he was arrested in Ishgard at some point when he was moonlighting as a Dark Knight
