Even if they weren't traveling for the same reasons, boats and airships certainly aren't instantaneous from an immersive viewpoint, and it would be relatively easy to get bored. So, I can see them at the very least striking up regular conversation--they do have the potential to get to know each other well, especially if these conversations happened frequently.Â(08-05-2013, 01:43 AM)sanguineFenrir Wrote: Kevaraan grew up in Gridania and is/appears twenty-four cycles old (I'm not adding years on to account for the timeskip, personally.) Any character who might have grown up there at around the same time may have played with him as children. They might remember his parents, and his mother in particular--who was friendly but also highly eccentric and old-fashioned, prone to misinterpreting customs and figures of speech, often humorously. She worked as a healer/apothecary/general doctor or midwife, that sort of thing. (She was often viewed negatively by parents of the other children because of her mannerisms and personality.)
His family began to travel rigorously between the three city states when he was about eight, often only staying in one place for two weeks to a month at a time. That doesn't leave much for deep friendships, but he was often spotted in libraries in both Limsa Lominsa and Ul'Dah.Â
His family stayed in Limsa Lominsa from three years prior to the Calamity, up to it, so one might know him from around the city or at the Arcanists' Guild, where he assisted and accompanied one of the apprentices. Anyone involved in the Lominsan military may know his father (and thus Kevaraan himself), who had many friends there, and served for a time.
Kevaraan is also known for frequenting each and every one of the guilds to some degree, but he is by no means a master at anything; his knowledges range from barely-fluent dabbling to perhaps an upper adept level at most. He does have disciplines he favors, particularly Alchemy, Lancing (?) and most/all forms of magic, given his interest in the Aether.
Sounds like Kevaraan and Shizu could have even traveled together at some point! They seem very similar!
He has always traveled with his parents (up until Carteneau), so he has no established group (like an expedition or anything like that) but it's certainly workable if you'd like.
(Forever a work in progress)
