Character Name: Auron
Series:
Final Fantasy XAge: 35
Job: Marriage Counselor
Canon: So a Summoner, a Guardian, and a drunkard walk into a bar… and form a party! These three men go on a pilgrimage to an ancient city in order to defeat Sin - and this is not a euphemism. Sin, a great monster, is reborn every few years and brings fear to the world of Spira. The Guardian Auron, a warrior monk who was shuffled off to be forgotten due to church politics, with Summoner Braska and the new guy Jecht set off to save the world. They do so, but only temporarily. Despite the hardships Auron faced - losing his faith and losing his friends - he is determined to guide the children of both his friends on their own quest a decade later.
Known throughout Spira as the Legendary Swordsman, he's like the bad-assed samurai uncle you wish you had. Armed with his skills, sword, and old-man advice, he often seems older than he actually is. Much of the time Auron is distant, ambiguous, and appears to be carrying a secret from the others. But whether it's making sure Yuna continues her pilgrimage, imparting some much-needed wisdom to Tidus, avenging his party members, or saving the world, he does everything with care and fierce strength.
Sample Post:
There must be a mistake. I've been many things in the past - a monk, a swordsman, a Guardian, and a watcher of children - but I have never married. Asking help from someone who turned down the hand of a priest's daughter might not be in your best interests, and neither is wedding a fiend from a lake who is ten times your size. I also don't need extra hands, sir, so keep them to yourself or else you'll lose much more than that.
However if you're seeking a Guardian for your marriage... I may have some advice. First, to the lady, I would have suggested not taking your suitors to the far recesses of a swamp for the honeymoon, but it looks like it's a little too late. Even if the undead don't need to breathe, holding them in under the surface for so long is not necessary or comfortable. You'd do better by choosing your battles carefully and save the strength of your tentacles for other activities.
And, Marcy, think of a marriage as a party made of two, while the obstacles to a healthy relationship are the fiends. When I was younger, all you had to do was cut through those hurdles and support each other while traveling the rocky road down and back, uphill in all directions. Concentrate on the task at tentacle, but don't forget your goal is to forge - not force - a bond together. When one is weak or cornered remember to care for them, or they will get confused and consider you the enemy and then attack. As you are a....formidable woman, the confusion is warranted.
To Gaargh, there's a saying: even if everything falls apart, always keep your head straight and on. I will say right now - marriage is only one of the important steps in your journey together, so you will need those feet too. They will lead you to victory, or possibly to an escape. This is your story - make it last.
