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.

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. He would also join hands with the Deck of Crows. A network of rogues and shadow-work run by friend, J'vhex.

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

Vivian is a non-op FtM transman (he maintains the body he is born with). He does not experience body dysphoria and is very comfortable in his body. He is still a man and will always present himself as such.

Lean, Athletic build. He's muscular, but only really noticeable when undressed or in skin-tight clothing.

Covered in freckles (face & body). He also has gold tattoos from his neck to his feet.

Both eyes are adorned a black sclera, with a white ring where the iris would be over his right eye, & his left iris a bright aetherial blue/green color. Eyelashes are white.

Half of his right ear torn off.

Prosthetic right leg (thigh down) & left arm (shoulder down).

Dark circles around his eyes, & looks like he hasn't slept in days.

Prominent, sharp canines.

His ears & tail are quite big. His tail being disproportionately long & very fluffy (despite his character model) & keeps most of it wrapped up in red bandages. He otherwise seems to have traits to suggest he is a Keeper.

Harbors a multitude of scars, most are hidden by the clothes he wears. Most obvious or visible is the one on his face; a deep, diagonal scar from the glabella to his jaw. And a big scar over his chest.

Two sets of horns rest on his head, and he is not likely to reveal where they came from. He can hide them sometimes with glamour, but they are always there and grow from his skull.

Born with snow white hair, but often dyed it a deep auburn until recently. All he will really say about the color is 'I'm old'.

Always wears bandages around his arm(s), especially in front of others; they go from his knuckles to just above his elbow. Covers up severe burn scars

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.

Vivian's appearance in-game does not 100% match his canon appearance. I do my best with the materials given, but it is still not completely accurate.

I will happily do short or one-off scenes in game. Anything longer or long-term much prefer it to be moved to discord. Sorry if this is inconvenient.

That being said, please be patient with me. I am not a speedy writer.

Understand that befriending Vivian will take time, he's kind of an asshole.

I multiship, but I am very selective. What this means is serious/romantic relationships can/will take place in separate alternate universes or timelines. Though Vivian is also polyamorous, I will default to the alt universe.

Vivian is promiscuous, and while I may write or draw NSFW content for him, I will not ERP. I will gladly discuss it, but I do not want to roleplay it out.

Any illustrations used in this carrd is mine.

To note: I promise I'm not ignoring anyone if approached but I don't respond. I am probably AFK or if I am at an event, then I am either tabbed out or the chat is moving so fast that I missed it. Please don't hesitate to poke me in /tell to grab my attention.

Outside of RP, Vivian is my Warrior of Light, and thus most of what I will write/illustrate for him will be under that impression. However, for RP purposes that will be omitted. His relative history and experiences will remain the same.
