Personality

He strives to be kind and compassion guides his hand in his actions.When feeling down or upset, Irwin distances himself and hides, whether physically or with a mask. Though it's easy to tell by his body language and silence.Irwin likes it when things are easy, on occasion he challenges himself though he is never far from his comforts.He presents himself as a worldy individual, in reality he still has a lot to learn and in high-stress situations his inexperience shows as he can be prone to panic.Having grown up in a relatively wealthy family, Irwin is no stranger to the usual pitfalls of excess. He can be vain, frivolous, and sometimes ignorant of the realities others may have.Irwin is trusting, though it can be seen as naivety. He's still idealistic in that sense and likes to believe that kindness is the first choice. When his trust is well and truly earned, Irwin will always give his unconditional love and support to his friends.
Occupation
Adventurer | Scribe | Courier
Following in his parents footsteps, and fueled by wanderlust.Irwin's occupations allow him a great deal of mobility to see and explore the world.Typically as an adventurer he takes up quests that involve finding or tracking down lost people, objects, places. Delivering items across vast distances, and any sort of similar tasks.He is also a Valentione courier and scribe, when he isn't out questing, he spends his time helping people connect with their distant loved ones. Between writing letters for others or delivering their care packages, there is a lot to do.
Combat Discipline
Bladework | Arcanima
(SCH, SMN, SAM, DNC, )
Irwin had learned the basics from his parents, and further developed his craft as he grew. While he has a heavy focus on magic, he can hold his own in a martial fight.Irwin prides himself on his flexibility, given enough time he can craft a spell that'll suit the occasion. It's this quality of Arcanima that drew him to it in the first place. That and the mathematical nature of the art.Irwin's achievement as an arcanist is his exceptional calculations. His constructs always outlast most arcanists work and when called forth, his carbuncle and fairy can exist off their own aether rather than remain tethered to his.In combat, Irwin prefers to dart in and out of battle, striking where the opportunity shines brightest and using his carbuncle and fairy to create openings for him when there are none and vice versa.

About: Irwin Caldwell
Irwin Caldwell is the son of two retired adventurers. Chloe Valentione, an Ishgardian Elezen lady, and Kanae an Auri Raen woman from Sui-no-Sato. He was born in Limsa Lominsa then moved to Ishgard after the Dragonsong War had concluded.Growing up, he didn't have a lot of masculine Au Ra figures in his life, so he he didn't really have an idea of how tall Au Ra men were supposed to be. As he grew older and his awareness grew, the crushing realization was a shock to his system in his teens.From his mothers he had learned much to help himself despite his literal shortcomings. A strong sense of self (sometimes a little too strong) and strength to stand up for himself and his convictions.When he was of age, like his parents and with their blessing, he struck out and began his travels as an adventurer. Learning new disciplines and seeing what there is to see in beautiful Etheirys.
(Start of echo verse)En route to one of his deliveries as he gazed out the window upon the serene night skies, idly musing about what he’ll be having for breakfast. Without warning the sky is suddenly ablaze with fire. In a panic he stumbles back and trips over his own feet and falls backwards. Rather than feel the wooden floor of the inn room, he continues to fall and fall into darkness and a mess of visions he attributes to being nothing but a dream. The next morning as he lies on the floor, Irwin recalls the events of the night and fragments of his dreams of a giant crystal. Freaked out and unsure, he keeps this fact to himself.Rarely he gets piercing headaches and odd visions, an annoying side effect but bearable. Some things have turned for the better as well. His mercenary work has improved leaps and bounds, he finds himself lighter on his feet and a touch hardier. As for his courier services, since the incident, he hasn’t gotten lost or lost his way even once. Clearly, something has changed within him but he isn’t all too motivated to figure out what, whatever it is he’ll come across the answer in his travels.
RP HOOKS
These are common hooks for Irwin, but if you come up with something else beyond what's listed, we can work with that!Good ol’ Adventuring! - Irwin has signed on with the adventurer’s guild and takes up all manner of tasks and requests. Perhaps you’ve both been matched to accomplish one such task. Or you have a request of your own?
In matters of combat Irwin strives to be an all-rounder but at the moment magic is his forte. In terms of craft, Irwin is an excellent goldsmith and has a real eye for jewelry and valuable stones.
In terms of the land, he has dabbled in fishing, but his skills in mining and botany leave much to be desired still.Services of House Valentione - While he didn’t take up the name, Irwin is ever happy to take part of the House’s duties. After all, love doesn’t just happen during Valentione’s day, it is a constant in every day.
Often he travels to distant places to act as messenger delivering heart-felt letters and sweet treats to distant loved ones. Or he acts as a scribe to help those who cannot write themselves put their hearts on paper.Excitable Tourist - Having picked up the ever popular Sightseeing Log. Irwin wishes to decipher its secrets behind the riddles and see for himself these coveted sights.
In cities, he tries to experience what he can. Trying local fare, taking the backroads, visiting bars and inns, exploring the nightlife, you name it- he’ll probably try it.You’re short for an Au ra - Yes, yes. He’s heard it all before. While it doesn’t bother him too much. There is a side that laments his diminutive stature compared to his auri brothers (and sometimes sisters). Besides, being short isn’t too bad, you get to fit in places the tall ones can’t. The surplus on legroom is great too. (Coping)Optional - Bearer of the Echo - Perhaps you see each other in visions past. Some form of contact between the blessing of light. Or you see him experiencing a wicked migraine.
