Personality -

Rinor is an extremely active, independent individual with a drive to be the center of attention. He’s much like a kitten in many aspects - curious, energetic, friendly and playful if not a bit goofy. A laugh can certainly always be had when he’s around. There’s rarely a moment Rinor isn’t moving, the Miqo’te unable to sit still for too long as he dislikes being tied to one place, always needing to move and discover - lending quite well to the life of an adventurer. He’s loyal and honest, and always willing to help those in need.

Unfortunately, Rinor is neither very logical nor observant and often thrusts himself into dangerous situations without really understanding them or how to get back out. His spontaneity makes matters even worse. And while he typically wears a endless smile, he truly has a deep seated fear of inadequacy that stems from events in his childhood (all involving attacks by the Amalj’aa). He fears spur him to try exceedingly hard to do his best, often missing the obvious in his haste and putting him at odds with others in his company.

Family -

Adoptive Parents


Rinor was raised by the Hyur couple Paige and Talbot D. Lamand in the city of Ul’dah. Having no children of their own, as far as Rinor is aware he is an only child and deeply cares for his adoptive parents.

A Highlander, Talbot is a native of Ul’dah, born and raised, and was fortunate enough to secure himself a comfortable life within the city’s walls. A pugilist, he worked as a miner, but also took on quests as an Adventurer.

Midlander Paige Lister was born in Limsa Lominsa. The daughter of a fish monger, Paige held no love for the sea-faring life, but her loyalty to her father kept her from leaving the city. Since she had no desire to be a fishermen and could not become a Marauder as she wished, Paige instead took to working as a waitress at The Bismarck and began developing her skills in the culinary arts, working her way up to becoming a line cook.

While traveling to the marine city state at the bequest of a merchant associate back in Ul’dah, Talbot encountered Paige as he waited for a ship out to Aleport. Seeing her axe, he believed her to be a fellow Adventurer heading out on the same vessel and began talking to her, Talbot always the chatty sort who enjoyed exchanging tales with other travelers. Finding him charming, Paige played along and informed him of all the goings on she had seen pass through the ports of Limsa Lominsa, simply omitting the fact the stories had not happened to her personally.

So enthralled with one another, Paige even accompanied him out to Aleport and back again, where she was unfortunately confronted by her angered father and ousted. Though a bit disappointed, Talbot was not deterred, still fascinated by Paige and her ability to tell such amazing tales. Plus, later as he found out, her cooking was fantastic as well. And Paige could not deny she found Talbot equally as endearing, his gentle smile the wind in her sails.

Though he had little reason to, Talbot continued to return to Limsa Lominsa as often as he could, his relationship with Paige growing from friendship to something much deeper. Paige’s father even began to warm up to him and welcomed his visits. Even so, it was to everyone’s great surprise, especially Talbot’s, when Paige finally took initiative and demanded he quit screwing around and court her.

They married a short time after that, Paige finally leaving Limsa Lominsa to join Talbot in Ul’dah, though she promised to return to visit her father whenever time would permit it.

Birth Parents

Rinor’s birth parents are members of the Miqo’te O Tribe, O’hirho Nunh and O’dhamya Shon.

His father is one of the two breeder males, though he is constantly in conflict with the other as their tribe number dwindles from constant Amalj’aa attacks and the U Tribe claiming most of the territory, leaving little safe hunting grounds for their people. A gladiator, O’hirho works to protect his people and breed more offspring in the hopes of revitalizing their tribe. He is very quiet and reserved, and does not speak much beyond what he feels is necessary.

O’dhamya is a very wise woman and thaumaturge, using her abilities with magic to aid in protection but also to hunt beasts for meat and other goods. She has no real relationship beyond a quiet friendship with O’hirho has he is simply one of the Nunh of their tribe, though she is not opposed to being in his company. After the loss of their son, they have never mated again.

Siblings

Unknown to him, Rinor has five siblings - two brothers and three sisters.

Sisters

Past -

Born O’yahn Tia in the far reaches of the Sagolii Desert, he was the first child sired by O’hirho Nunh with fellow tribe member, O’dhamya Shon. He only remained in their care for a little shy of a year and a half, in which his father sired three other children, before their encampment was ambushed by a large group of Amalj’aa seeking captives to give to their patron primal.

Separated from the tribe in the scuffle, the little Miqo’te was left alone to wander the desert, hiding in fear of the wild beasts that made their own in Southern Thanalan. It was a day or two later when he was finally discovered by a passing Highlander Adventurer, Talbot D. Lamand. Escorting a caravan through the sands, it was only by pure luck he found the hungry and near dehydrated Miqo’ten child beneath a small outcropping. Seeing no one around to claim the child, and the small boy too exhausted to speak, Talbot opted to take the small toddler with him back to Ul’dah, unable to abandon him to the beasts and sands.

Unsure of what to do with the child, Talbot took him home to seek the advice of his Midlander wife, Paige. Unwilling to send him to the local orphanage and unsure how to even locate his tribe, the two decided they would take the boy as their own. Traumatized and weak from his ordeal, the child did not speak for several weeks, and with no name to call him, Paige and Talbot decided to call the boy Rinor in hopes his youthful spirit would recover.

And it did tenfold.

Present -

A budding Pugilist, Rinor spends some of his time in Ul’dah working on his skills in hopes of becoming a powerful Adventurer and member of the Immortal Flames. Fighting back the Amal’jaa is a driving force behind his training. When not honing his skills, he spends most of his time filling hunting logs, enjoying the thrill of the hunt as it takes him to exciting new destinations on the back of his chocobo, Quentyn. Recently he has also joined the Rogue Guild located in Limsa Lominsa, wanting to better himself even more by learning the arts of another class.

Beyond guild work and training, Rinor is till just discovering what it is he means to do with his life and what he really enjoys. He's taken up mining like his adoptive father, and though he enjoys it, still continues to seek futher fulfillment.

Rinor is aware he is adopted and does not mind. He is not particularly interested in finding his birth parents either, deciding if he finds them in his journeys, he finds them.
