I have a character who might interest you. He's an Ishgardian lowborn turned retainer to a (player made) noble house. He's absolutely obsseseed with Sharlayan and their intellect and such since he's a book book nerd. His dream is to become someone a philosopher, and he's just beginning his journey as he ventured outside of Ishgards gates to learn anything and all he can. He would love to listen to your characters tale (and may pass out from excitement haha) while jotting it all down in his little journal.
