Frax'ir is a man of meticulous presentation and subtle charisma, well acquainted with the complex and treacherous waters of fine conversation, and perfectly comfortable with holding his own in a city full of those that would just as quickly put him to the sword as request his assistance. Though his past remains a blur to him, only surfacing briefly in troubling and stressful dreams, he turns his gaze instead towards brighter futures- not just for him, but for his clients, whom he hopes to help find peace, love, and harmony, even when the world seeks to cause otherwise at every turn.A Miqo'te of rather modest stature, Frax knows full well that by almost every other degree, his appearance is unusual- beyond his lush red hair and his lavender eyes, it's easy to see his pale skin is marred by wide swaths of glowing red crystal. His ears and tail are similarly transformed, though the crystal here becomes more glass-like, perhaps accounting for his continued ability to hear, as well as its slightly more malleable nature. He has done his best to work with what Hydaelyn has given him, decorating himself with flowers and golden filigree to reduce the unsettling nature of his physiology, but he nonetheless finds himself afflicted with constant stiffness and soreness around the affected areas- the severity of which seems to vary day-to-day.Despite the natural attention his appearance draws, Frax'ir is a man who prefers to avoid the spotlight, comfortable with attention only as a matter of courtesy to those who he assists. One might even paint him as shy, were he not so affable and confident in his own capabilities, his poise and wit the centerpiece of his resolve. If there is vulnerability hidden underneath all the understated glamour, it is well-hidden and carefully guarded. Rubies are extremely tough to break, after all.


Matchmaker

Trained firsthand by the Valentione family, Frax'ir is highly skilled in finding each and every person their perfect match. (Well... as perfect as circumstances dictate.) His clients have been, first and foremost, the nobility of Ishgard, though in recent times he's expanded his reach to the rich and powerful of other high societies as well. His main focus is to find the ideal partner for his clients without upsetting the more 'traditional' parties that may be focusing on things like lineage, trade, and politics; making sure that, if not true love, that the two intended may at least find happiness and friendship together. He's been successful enough in these endeavors that some have started to refer to him as the Ruby of Ishgard, referring to the stone's association with love and nobility.


Secret Keeper

Being so entwined with the more intimate matters of many lives does come with its various benefits. Frax'ir is proxy to information not often shared with the outside world, and this has led to him living somewhat of a double life as an information broker. What he doesn't come across naturally can likely be found somewhere within his wide and varied network of friends, clients, and allies, and he isn't afraid to plumb its depths for whatever secrets it might hide. Looking for something or someone? Frax'ir may just be able to find it for you.

Crystallized

Ever since he was found in the Boulder Downs outside of Ishgard, Frax'ir has been an anamoly- his ears, tail, and part of his body replaced by fire aspected crystal. Because of this, he exudes a comfortable level of warmth at all times, though that warmth can shift with his emotions and health. It also makes him incredibly adept at casting fire spells, though this is a skill he is loathe to demonstrate often, as casting tends to make his joints sore and tough to move. Granted, this happens even without utilizing magic- his mobility and pain levels vary from day to day.
Despite the setbacks, Frax'ir acknowledges that his crystalline attributes are beautiful in an unsettling way, bringing both fear and awe that he isn't afraid to utilize for his own purposes.


Set Adrift

With almost total amnesia blanketing his memories before he was recovered, Frax'ir has no knowledge of the man he was before his seeming transformation. Could he have been like this before? And what would that even mean? Though he tries to be optimistic and focus on the future, thoughts of his potential pasts and the weight they might carry often nags at him in his darker moments. He's unsure if it would be wise to go seeking answers to his many questions... likely because he is afraid of what he might find.
