Brief Biography

Bison is a roegadan of imposing height and muscles trained from years of self induced regimen to better himself. Not one to shy from being a helping hand on most occasions, forgoing sleep and sustaining himself till worked into exhaustion. Fire red hair kept windblown back, slightly tended to beard, matching his single crimson eye, the other sadly almost fully lost to time from an injury long ago. Many scars litter his form each one telling a tale be it of victory or bitter loss, some a mixed result like his mechanical limb which he after time has taken advantage of to use against friend and foe. One might be intimidated by his appearance but one will eventually find out how friendly and jolly the giant is.The early years of Bison and his life are mostly a blur and something he's not prone to talking about. However shortly after breaking out on his own he found a cave he moved into just outside Uld'ah. From there he'd join a few different companies and do plenty of mercenary and smithy work. This helped him find a path through life that he could follow and be proud of. For a couple years this helped him achieve his goals till everything crumbled around him. After a strenuous mission the company he was a part of was absolved by the Adders.With no one left to follow, Bison used his savings to purchase a small home in the Mists and ran a Company 'The Hearth and Anvil' out of the Maelstrom. With some like minded people they made a name for themselves and some wealth to acquire a larger home and some more promising prospects for both jobs and missions. All good things must come to an end unfortunately, and with the added pressure thrust upon them relations started to sour and crumble. On the eve of their last task from the Maelstrom the lights of the Hearth and Anvil were never rekindled as Bison left for the mission on his own.Several Months would pass before Bison would resurface in Shirogane of all places. He had acquired a large run down building that was renovated into an Inn which is still used to this day. Even with a sleek new exterior it houses several guests all through out the year. He still owns the medium plot off the Limsa Beach which is often leased off to various companies to help afford the expenses of the Inn.

Hooks

  • Blacksmith

Bison is quite the skilled blacksmith and able to make and mend all sorts of arms and armor. He also has forges all across Eorzea so can get to work at a moments notice.

  • Inn Keeper

Bison owns and runs a very large inn just outside of Kugane in the Shirogane district. The building is recently renovated and fully staffed with a nice hidden personal hot springs in the back. There currently is vacancies, PST if interested for a room to hangout and rp in!

  • Landlord

Within the bustling subdivision of the Mists there is a factory that is seemingly dormant. The building is well cared for but has little use as of late. The leasee of the building has vanished... and Bison is currently looking for any other group that might need a place to set up shop. (Have a FC estate willing to share... PST to discuss, and no trading. It's free and for the sake of rp!)

  • Dark Knight

Those that follow the path of a Dark Knight might feel the familiar essence or aura emanating from Bison. He kept it well under wraps and his soul stone was never visible, yet those able to see and feel aether might be able to pick Bison out.

  • Doner

Bison is no stranger to hard times, even if it seems like he has everything going for him. Often he can be found giving trinkets and spare gil out to those less fortunate then him. He is happy to help those in need to the point of making him an easy target for those with any sob story.

  • Ishgard Bounty

Bison spent a few hard weeks in the frozen cityscape of Ishgard. In that time he found himself stumbling on a small kidnapping plot with some corrupted guards, or people disguising themselves as guards. Even though he was cloaked and stayed in his armor, there is still a bounty on a large dark armored dark knight with a one horned helm. (If you want to use this hook, pst and we can go into a bit more detail to make stories line up.)
