Real world name: Tighnari Avidya
Real world appearance: Same as his in game model! But no ears and tail and beans. :(
Real world age: 25
Personality: Tighnari is a direct, knowledgeable, and kind young man, forest ranger in the large National Park outside of the city, though he occasionally returns to the city to give lectures and seminars at the local University. At first glance he can seem a little abrasive, especially if those he's speaking with are trying, in some way, but he is actually very kindhearted, and has natural caretaker instincts. He's a botanist with an interest in mycology, so he is highly intelligent, and has a very vested interest in plants and nature. Though Tighnari might be very stern when he feels the need to be, he's a very loyal friend and mentor, who cares deeply about the people around him, even when they might vex him, though he can sometimes be a bit of a loner by nature. He's upfront, confident, inquisitive, adaptable, and makes friends easily. Despite how brusque he may seem on the outside, he is quite popular with his peers, and though he can be impatient with those who test him, he is otherwise very warm, and quick to help at any given time. Tighnari is also a little too curious for his own good, often exposing himself to hallucinogenic toxins while studying mushrooms in the wild, or trying new things when concocting his oils and tinctures.
Three important memories:
• Magnifying glass: When he was a child, his parents gifted Tighnari with a magnifying glass, which sparked his overly curious mind and nurtured his intense interest for the world around him. It was just a simple little item, but he used it every day, studying the leaves of plants, or tiny insects, or the spores and gills of mushrooms. Receiving this magnifying glass was what really ignited his passion for the beauty and wonder of nature around him.
• Struck by lightning: Against all odds, Tighnari survived a deadly encounter with nature - a lightning strike, received while he was hiking in the wilds outside the city. The care he received while recovering in the hospital stirred a great desire in him to help others, to use his skills as a botanist and researcher for the good of others, in the development of innovative new medicines and treatments. The scar he received from this is a constant reminder of his dedication to the craft.
• An adoption: At the tender age of 10, previous only child Tighnari needed to make room in his life for another - an adopted little sister. At first he reacted selfishly, unwilling to share the love of his parents, but after an accident where the two siblings found themselves trapped outdoors during a brutal storm, Tighnari's protective instincts kicked in, and he shielded her from harm, and found himself comforting the girl despite himself. From here, his caretaking instincts really began to develop, and he never again raised his voice to his sister again, nor did he compete with her for their parents' attention. He learned quickly that he enjoyed being a big brother, and looking after those in need.
Three important items:
• Magnifying glass: The magnifying glass gifted to him by his parents, mentioned in the memories section above. This item sparked his curiosity as a child, which burgeoned into a life passion in biology, mycology, and life science.
• Vision: A glass bauble given to him by his best friend, Cyno. The two of them exchanged these items, and Cyno has one of his own. They are similar to a friendship bracelet, reminding the two of them of their closeness and loyalty to one another.
• Notebook Collection: Tighnari has many notebooks, but his field notebooks are his favorite. He takes these notebooks with him when he does field research, using them to sketch plants, mushrooms and animals, and take notes on his findings. He has several of them, the old ones bound together by a leather strap as he fills them.
