“aight.”

He grabs him by the legs.

“AIGHT.”

Fucking drags him. He doesn’t care if the fucker loses his face on the grovel.

“A-FUCKING-IGHT.”

@canum​  asked: "You grew."

No.

Eyes blown wide, every last bit of air left the young man’s lungs in an instant. The voice ringing around his head over and over, as if trying to register that it’d really been there at all. He’d always known it to be a possibility, but after so many years gone without running into anyone of import within Rocket, well . . . perhaps he’d let his guard down too much. Wrongly believed himself to be forgotten, to be safe.

His fingers twitched first of all, prepared to reach for a carefully concealed knife in his boot. Should the need arise, and should he even get the chance. There was no telling what any of his father’s Executives would want, let alone one of their most unstable.

Swallowing heavily, Silver forced his feet to turn, and faced the familiar soul head on. Blinking in bewilderment, and noting how much things really had changed. He’d always seemed like such an imposing figure, before . . . and now they stood as equals, in more ways than one.

This wasn’t just my first screenshot of the year, it was my first screenshot in ff14 ever. I think I had like, only just heard what gpose was, and barely knew how to work it beyond getting into and out of the mode. And Ruhka was baby, obviously, was probably still an archer at that point, and I certainly hadn’t figured out glamours.

And uh... this apparently was the last screenshot I took of 2019. Canum just naturally looks so fucking angry all the time, it’s hard not to make fun of him. I can put him in ridiculous hats and he can’t do a thing about it but glare.

Name: Canum Kir Wicks

Alias: Cani, Will-o-wisp, That Asshole

Age: 29

Gender: Male

Orientation: Meh

Alignment: Neutral

Occupation: Freelance engineer and researcher

----------

Appearance: Tall, pale, and wiry, Canum looks every bit a bookish nerd despite his penchant for throwing airship parts around and being covered in oil and grease. It almost appears as though all the pigment in his person was washed away, save for nearly luminescent blue eyes. His skin, similarly, appears off, oddly smooth and perfect.

History: Though not pureblood Garlean, and despite his often overwhelming abundance of aether, Canum proved his worth enough to rise through the ranks of engineers even at a relatively young age. However, for much of that time, he had no contact outside of Garlemald, it wasn’t until he was sent out to Doma to oversee a project that he started seeing viewpoints from beyond the Empire. They didn’t much impress him, but then, Garlemald’s arguments were also sounding less compelling. Defecting hadn’t particularly been his plan, but when his Father took pity on a Hingan child whose parents had been declared traitors, it was flee to Eorzea or risk execution. His Father now has a nice apartment in the Shroud, and Canum is taking the opportunity to gather information once hidden from him.

Personality: Cold at best and a know it all at worst, Canum doesn’t put much stock in people until they prove their worth to him. However, once that worth is gained, his silence breaks despite his incredible social awkwardness. While intelligence is important to him, curiosity and logical reasoning are held in much higher regard, and he will respect those that can keep pace even if they don’t know the particulars.

Quirks: Caffeine addicted. Will always stop to pet cats. Sylphs call him Will-o-wisp. Passingly fluent in Hingan.

Hooks:

Engineer- Though airship construction and repair was his primary job in Garlemald, he dabbled in other machinery as well, including firearms and prosthetics. He is open for hire or commission for any needed pieces.

Mage- Canum has control over his aether, most of the time. He seems to naturally hold a fair bit more than a normal person should, and he is slowly, now that he has more access to information on magic,learning to control it. However, other students or even a tutor would not be remiss.

Tech- Canum is always looking for more allagan discoveries, but, there is one piece he’s looking for specifically. An experiment, showing up in texts around the time as Omega, as an alternative to drawing aether from primals. He believes it is still functional and still somewhere on the star.

Ooc:

Times- EST based, late evening and weekends as possible. I work and have adult obligations that sometimes take precedence.

Location- I can play in game or in discord, and am comfortable with paragraph rping. I am a little slow in game sometimes still, I please ask for patience.

Shipping- Shipping is IC only, I am not interested in OOC romance. I’m not a multishipper either. Canum, quite frankly, isn’t looking for anything at all however.
