Biography

Few have seen the face of Fairbane; fewer still have lived to describe it.

Fairbane. A notorious bandit feared among the Gridanian merchant class and the nobility of Ishgard. Unhindered by any written law or moral code. Willing to take any job for the right price. Inactive since the Seventh Umbral Calamity.

Faisane Rouveille. An adventurer possessed of the Echo. A quiet observer of her world who seldom intervenes in the business of others. An accomplished archer and wielder of the lance. Her traveling companion's steadfast guardian.

No matter the name, she bears a guilt for which she can never atone.

RP Hooks

Confronted by the Past: Faisane has clasped hands with nigh on every villain in the Eorzean underworld—and, as a consequence, she's harmed a great many people. Perhaps your character was part of a previous criminal partnership, or a former abductee seeking vengeance. Does your character have a debt to collect, or a favor to ask? Or are they an assassin sent by an erstwhile colleague?
[ NOTE: Use of this plot hook requires both parties to be fully informed and in agreement as to the nature of any implied criminal activity, past or future. ]

An Eye For Ancestral Artistry: Faisane's arms bear complex floral tattoos that span from her wrists to her shoulders. The pigment is a distinctively bright blue-white not commonly seen in modern tattoo ink, though the pattern is unmistakably Duskwight. If visible in her present attire, these tattoos may just attract the attention of someone with an appreciation for ink...or archaeology.

Dialect Distinction: Curiously enough, despite being identifiably Duskwight by blood, Faisane speaks with the distinctive lilt of the Ishgardian working class. A character from Ishgard may find the thought of a gray-skinned Ishgardian puzzling. Have I ever seen any Duskwights in the Brume? A Gridanian, on the other hand, may be confused as to why somebody who looks and acts like the average Gelmorran grave-robber is speaking like someone born and raised farther north.

Echoes of Cruelty: Fairbane and her colleagues took advantage of the chaos of the Seventh Umbral Calamity to stage a trafficking operation. As the sky began to fall around them, she was forced to take shelter beside the poor soul she'd taken prisoner—and suddenly she was reliving the most traumatic moment of that person's life. Faisane has been plagued by traumatic visions like these ever since. Might your character be the subject of the next one?
[ NOTE: Use of this plot hook necessitates that both parties agree to engage with the specific subject matter of the proposed flashback, particularly with regard to content that might be retraumatizing. In other words, content-warn before you trauma-dump. This is a hard boundary that I will require you to respect. ]

Scar Upon Scar: Faisane's back and shoulders bear the evidence of countless lacerations by whip, and there's a story behind every stripe. Whether it's from medical expertise or a background in the slave trade, your character recognizes the shape of those scars on sight. Maybe their knowledge could earn them a glimpse at a thrilling tale or two.

Come visit me!

According to her lore, Faisane's house is located in a Gelmorran ruin. Since Squenix won't allow me to rent real estate in Palace of the Dead, I've opted for the OOC location of The Lavender Beds. Whether you're a Mateus local or visiting from out of town, come check the place out in Ward 10, Plot 55! Bring your suspension of disbelief and leave a message in the guestbook outside. (It's under the awning to the right of the entryway.)
