The Quest for Amaro: DONE!

I have finished all my classes! I actually started Blue Mage for fun, but I have my Amaro!

I love my floof-dragon! Thank you to all the people that helped me level as well as offering moral support. And yes, all the lovely people who liked and cheered me on tumblr!

I'm so damn happy to have this flying sky-pupper.

The Quest for Amaro: One Class to Go!

I have finished Red Mage! My goal was an Amaro before Endwalker so I only have about two weeks to go, but hopefully I can get Lancer/Dragoon done before then.

the Lionheart

The loyal one, the stubborn one, the one who fights for others. The guarder, the watcher, the brave, foolish, valiant person who is not the same person by the end of the story.

HEADCANON A-Z

Jaxon is definitely much better at giving care than receiving. He tends to be an absolute idiot about his own well-being, but will do everything he can to help anyone around him. He's definitely more devoted to the people he's closer with, but he's not someone who is good at turning his back on any kind of suffering or need. He's the kind of person that would set himself on fire to keep others warm so most of those close to him tend to keep an eye out for him doing just that.

Jaxon is very much the type to give someone the coat off his back if they need it. He knows he's lucky enough to have decent finances, a profitable business, and plenty of support. He doesn't want to take that for granted and he definitely doesn't want to deny anyone else the chance to have that.

For actually helping someone in need, Jaxon tends to be a little careful. He knows a lot of people can resent being pitied or coddled too much. His personal preference is giving a helping hand, but not taking their control away. He knows it's a terrible blow to someone already in need to feel like they're unable to provide for themselves or their families, as well as relying on someone else. His normal method of help is trying to help them find work and offering the occasional little gift/help so they can succeed. Enough so that they can move forward, but not so much they feel like they aren't helping themselves.

HEADCANON A-Z

Jaxon has no problem being vocal about what he supports, as well as being active in helping those causes. He is heading out to Bozja shortly to support their efforts, for example.

For people, he also tends to praise and encourage a lot. If he can help them toward their goals, he definitely does although he tries to tread a line to support without overwhelming or pressuring them. He knows how hard it is not feeling supported so he tries to give that to the people in his life without making them feel coddled or humored.

Jaxon is a big supporter of providing help, proper medical care, and opportunities to both the people in the Brume and Ala Mhigan refugees. Most of his employees are from those sources, as well as war veterans. He feels that they tend to be forgotten or others consider that 'their place' to be struggling and 'below' others. He definitely doesn't agree with that and he makes a strong effort to give them help getting out of the unfair situations they are often forced into with honest work, good wages, and proper support.

Another cause Jaxon supports is the equality of the so-called 'Beast Tribes'. While he understands some are Tempered by Primals, many of them are just people trying to survive and often treated by the 'Spoken' as animals at best and vermin at worst. He quite frankly hates that sentiment. They're people, just like any other. They have languages, stories, families, and all the rest. They aren't any less than the 'Spoken', they're merely a little different.

He definitely tends to be vocal about them being people and has zero hesitation protecting them when he sees the chance, be it from Yellowjackets or raiders. He also does his best to open trade relationships and opportunities with the more friendly ones, as well as respecting the homes and boundaries of even the unfriendly tribes. They have just as much right to be safe and happy as he does and he will go out of his way to not intrude on their lands if at all possible.

HEADCANON A-Z

Jaxon is fairly organized, although not always overly neat. He tends to put things in the 'proper place' but he doesn't always have them exactly organized. His workplace at home, for example, has all his tools, but they're just kind of scattered on the desk or in drawers. As long as he can find them with little effort, he doesn't worry too much about it being exact. His office at work is 'organized chaos', although he's extremely neat in shared workspaces, such as the ship or the warehouses. He doesn't want anyone not being able to find something they need so he tries to be courteous about it.

Jaxon tends to keep a notebook on him at all times if possible. He uses it to write down ideas, but also important notes or information so he doesn't forget. It's helped eliminate a lot of stress for him because he worries about not remembering things or getting too distracted. His new Allagan node, Eddie, is also very helpful with this. Basically a personal assistant, Eddie has taken it upon herself to help Jaxon remember things as well as take care of himself better.

Stress definitely affects Jaxon's organizational skills. When his mindset is poor, he tends to be more forgetful and far less extroverted. That means his organization suffers. On the really bad days, Haelrael and Caderyn even tend to send him home because they know he's a (mild) danger, mostly to himself since his mind isn't focused.

HEADCANON A-Z

Jaxon would be hardpressed to pick someone as 'most exceptional'. He finds a lot of people exceptional and in their own unique ways. He's a firm believer in everyone has worth and no one is 'ordinary', let alone 'boring'. He would very much say he's lucky enough to know quite a few exceptional people.

One person in his life he definitely considers exceptional is Haelrael Grynhyltwyn. A lovely Roegadyn woman who is a little older than him, 'Rae' as she's affectionately called has been married to her husband Rhylstyr for over twenty-five years and they've had six kids together, ranging from age twenty-three to a pair of seven-year-old twin boys. Rae takes care of her family, takes care of the business and the crew, and while Jaxon is sometimes loathed to admit it, she keeps an eye on him too. She manages it all with grace, maturity, and good humor. So he considers that pretty damn exceptional.

One of Jaxon's rules is 'don't start violence', which some might be surprised at considering his past as a soldier and a mercenary, and the fact he can be a bit of a hothead. However, he normally regulates himself to snark or a little posturing. He doesn't throw the first punch most of the time. The notable exception is someone touching someone that says no. Whether it's himself or someone else, he breaks his own rule when it comes to that. He will definitely throw the first punch. Also if someone is being, in his words, 'a wanker', such as a Wood Wailer harassing a Duskwight or a Highborn bullying someone in the Brume. Long story short, he doesn't like bullies, especially ones that think they have the right to touch anyone they want.

The thing that likely gets Jaxon the most excited is learning. Be it creating something, learning how to fix something, studying a language, or exploring a new place, learning something new always gets Jaxon excited and ready for more. He really enjoys the unknown, be it mundane or extraordinary, and is eager to learn about it.
