TACTICIAN
We find ourselves at the apex of the story to our Star.
Our actions this day dictate what scholars think of us for centuries long after we turn to dust. Do we resign to recording history?Or shall we make it?
"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
-Dylan Thomas

Of Sharlayan blood and pure, Vinn seems to have been born into the lap of curious minds; esoteric and questionable. His Hyur mother a Professor of Aethercytology and his Elezen father a renowned Astrologian, it seems as if Vinn had it all laid out for him to become one of the next great minds of Sharlayan.Though not all stories lay themselves out the same way.Instead of spending his days with his nose shoved in a book, the Sharlayan opted to spend it in dark and dangerous ruins of civilizations lost - though not forgotten. A science most consider nonsensical - Aethercuriology, the study of Magical Relics - is what Vinn strove for. Having earned his Sage's mark through sheer willpower and a refusal to stop turning in revised versions of his thesis, not a moment soon after he had received it did he declare Sharlayan teachings to be nothing but a fraud - institutions run by haggard old men.
Curious minds will always take Vinn's attention first. That much is obvious.Eorzeans, Easterners, Dalmascans - those that seek to learn more are welcome in Vinn's fold. No qualms will be held for those that simply wish to learn more of the star that they inhabit, nor shall they be turned away for class nor creed.Sure, a scientist may ask for some form of payment before he offers his aid, but a scientist has to eat, doesn't he?
Nowadays, Vinn spends his time much as he did in Sharlayan. Having collected his fair share of esoteric relics and studying them for all their worth, he has no qualms with sharing his discoveries with outside parties that might find some use for them or the knowledge they contain. Advocating to free the knowledge that Sharlayan holds hostage, Vinn shows exactly how the Forum can handle said redistribution - through simple and careful selection. Sometimes, even for a price.Having studied his fair share of technology at the Skysteel Manufactory, Vinn went to work using his knowledge of the esoteric and technological. The extent of which had found itself culminating into the creation of the handcanon he lovingly calls 'Treason' - a symbol of the end, he believes.

Hooks
•The Underground ▶ Treason always does lead people down a dark path. Considered a traitor by Sharlayan standards, Vinn has found his hand forced to wander and rub shoulders with individuals of the criminal underground. He can be found in many shady areas.• Vices ▶ Vinn is certainly not immune to worldly vices. Somnus, alcohol, a warm body; All things that the Hyur is prone to partake in. He may be found in nightclubs, taverns, bars, whatever his curious little head tempts him into.• Engineer ▶ Vinn's time with the Skysteel Manufactory has earned him quite the name. Perhaps you've seen him with the famed firearm on his person. Or maybe you've seen Goliath in action and want to talk about it. The choice is entirely yours.• Archaeologist ▶ Vinn's study in Sharlayan. His one true calling. Having studied ancient civilizations and gathered quite the knowledge on it all, seek him out to learn more of them.
