Physical
The Head
Efleion's face is quite slim for his size, and people often say that he looks quite young for his age. He has Royal purple eyes framed with silver-rimmed glasses that help him see better as he was born with a sight impairment. He also has a scar running below his left eye from a previous engagement he had with a Voidcent on his ventures.Efleion's hair is rather short and spiked and colored purple to match his eyes.

He also has wielded the same Gunblade since it was given to him by an old friend, although he has consistently upgraded it.Efleion normally wears casual pants with purple boots for adventuring, so his long feet are comfortable but protected.

His brain
The Outer Shell
Efleion is normally quite optimistic and carefree as he has no one who relies on him so that he can take more chances. He often finds himself in dire situations because of this, as he is too trusting and willing to do anything that doesn't break his set of ethics. This includes trusting those who shouldn't be.Efleion's ethics are based on a simple set of principles, Do whatever you want as long as you don't harm others. Because of this, Efleion is known to indulge in all things as he believes in the worse case it only hurts him and that he could be dead at any point, so best not to be frugal.Efleion is often seen as quite happy and outgoing. Laughing and being playful are a part of who he is. Even though this is the case, there are indeed times where Efleion is quite quiet such as when studying up on information where he becomes more focused on the words of a book than the company of another person.Efleion can turn nasty if people harm others he cares about, such as friends or work colleges. He prefers to solve issues with words however is not one to turn away from a fight if needed and has a very harsh side to him if pushed far enough due to previous situations in his life.

History
(Brief due to wanting people to organically discover more about the character via IC interactions)Efleion was an orphan originally hailing from an orphanage on the main island of the Sharlayan city-state. Efleion quickly moved to the settlement in the hinterlands once he was of age, where he became one of its residents. In all honesty, Efleion only moved away from the horrible person who ran the orphanage to see if he could find his original family elsewhere but has never forgotten the experience.Efleion was barely at the Hinterlands outpost for almost a year before Ala Migo fell, and the Sharlyan people decided to retreat to their mainland. Efleion, however, decided to stay behind in the new land and fend for himself. Efleion avoided the mass exodus and decided to move to Limsa at still a young age so he could continue looking for his family. He joined a band of pirates for a short time but became aware of their unethical actions after watching them kill innocent civilians before him, and he quit shortly after.It was around this time that the calamity happened. Efleion thought the best way to serve the people of his new city-state would be by joining the Maelstrom. However, he quickly found that a grand company of ex pirates were no less corrupt than the pirates he had served and quit. He used the connections he had made during his time as a pirate to start a new business of helping the wealthy get ahold of relics and magical artifacts, however this time legally… most of the time.Efleion now ventures the world in chase of fame, fortune, love, and friendship. Never content on just standing still...
