Adrasteius Solumieux

SIGHT BEYOND SIGHTAdra has robust aethersight - strong enough that they're able to conduct what's more or less a magical MRI when they focus. If there's something odd or off about someone's personal aether, Adra can detect it even with their passive perception - provided the other player permits it! Though this power can discern fine detail, it will always be limited via player consent in RP. But if you do want someone to notice that your guy isn't quite right, they surely will.AN OVERFLOWING VESSELPotent aether overflows in Adra's body, like rushing waters barely restrained by a dam. To those who can see such things, it looks overwhelming, painfully bright, and like it's always on the verge of breaking through Adra's skin and bones - which it is. Though this impressive fount is a boon to spellcasting, it takes a physical toll, contributing to Adra's chronic illness. They suffer from sometimes debilitating fatigue and nerve pain; on the worst days they can hardly leave their bed. The condition is exacerbated by stress and overwork, both of which are unfortunately constants in Adra's life.GIVEN TO THE GUILD; BEHOLDEN TO THE FORESTAdra freely shares that they're a conjurer for the guild in Gridania; however, the truth of their relationship to the guild is a little more complicated. Pressing the matter might reveal a few more details, such as that they've been with the guild since near infancy, that they work as healer and exorcist both, that they are a Hearer. Anyone who frequents Stillglade will likely have seen them around or may possibly have heard of them - they also teach novices several mornings a week.KEEP IT IN THE FAMILYAdra is not an only child, though you wouldn't know it if you're just a casual acquaintance. They have a twin brother who lives and works as a paladin in Ul'dah, a man named Aurelius, a man they rarely bring up except in vague passing and even more rarely in specific. If he is mentioned directly, their anxiety becomes clear, sometimes worsening to the point of a full-blown panic attack.

A BALM FOR WHAT AILS YOUA peerless healer. Adra is skilled in both aetherial and practical medicine; there is very little that is beyond their power to treat, if not cure. They also brew their own potions, which are not only effective but very tasty! They can even heal old, old scars … and some rumors whisper that they can bring back the dead, though they'll deny this. They'll also deny that they practice medicine anywhere outside of their home and Stillglade, though they in fact help their friend Cheats with his clinic whilst in disguise. And why the disguise? Because in that clinic they use white magic freely, and this they are forbidden to do outside the auspices of the guild. Yet they are in fact a white mage, possessed of a crystal, and of all the powers that come with it.SPIRIT SINGERAdra's work for the guild spans multiple (and multiplying) responsibilities; chief among them is 'purification', or more precisely, exorcism. There are a lot of lost souls clinging to Gridania and Adra uses their connection to these spirits to help them along to the Lifestream - gently or violently, whichever is necessary. They do this through a special set of abilities that include singing magical hymns, dancing, and using their baptism cord - a versatile weapon made of ultra-thin, aether-infused filaments. They do not often display these talents outside of their exorcism work.STRANGE BEDFELLOWSAdra is often attended by a hulking man in a suit of ornate armor. Originally, they introduced him as their bodyguard; more recently, they call him their husband. Nothing terribly unusual, except that their job involves dealing with the dark spirits of Gridania and anyone with a sense for these things might be able to tell that their husband is among those spirits…
