Homebrew Lore

Tupoomuani

"Where the Earth Spits"

“Did ya feel the earthquake last night?”
“Yea…pretty big one. Did ya ‘appen to look at the Seven Sisters this morning?”
“No, why? Somethin’ happen ta ‘em?”
“Well, there’s eight now.”
          ~ Conversation overheard in the Bucket, est. 5 years ago.

Regional Summary

(This page only includes part of the lore for the region. To see all the publicly available details, visit this document)A homebrew region in the NE of Shaaloani. Tender Valley, perhaps the most widely known example from this place, actually can be found in the southwestern corner of this region. Home to canyons, crevasses, disappearing rivers, and ruins of civilizations that appear to have been there for 1000s of years but the locals - such as they are - will swear up and down weren’t there fifty years ago. Or a hundred. Or ten.The town of Fool's Gold is the last outpost of the modern world before one ventures into this chaotic landscape. A failed cereluem mining town that found new life when rumors of ancient treasures of great value began to make their rounds on both sides of the salt, it attracts the adventurous, the desperate, and sometimes ~ merely the curious.The lack of water and the hostile landscape in the region have rendered it very unattractive for more permanent settlement. Regardless of this, the occasional isolated village may still be stumbled into by adventurers days or weeks out from Fool’s Gold; these villages do not appear on any known map, and are seldom found twice.The name, Tupoomuani, means in old Shetona: “Where the Earth Spits” - which is encapsulated in the stories and legends that persist about this region; the strange, the arcane, the ancient, and the unknown, constantly appearing as if spat from the earth itself - and vanishing, nearly as frequently. The true nature of the land has long gone unexamined and unrecorded; after all, if a remote valley that hosts the ruins of ancient pyramids that weren’t there twenty years ago suddenly drops a hundred yalms and turns into a lake, swallowing the exploring expedition that was sent there specifically to document it…did it really happen?

The Town of Fool's Gold

Fool’s Gold functions as the last stop for adventuring supplies, finding an adventuring party, a room, or even some local entertainment. It boasts a singular saloon/brothel known as the Bucket of Blue, a “bank”, a general store, a sheriff’s office, a doctor’s office, a graveyard, and a wide variety of smithies, stables, boarding houses, and single “family” homes that tend towards very few rooms and even fewer actual families. Wells are few and far between; indoor plumbing remains a rarity.The town overall has a strong culture around personal privacy; the official stance is “we don’t care where you’re from, or who you were, or what you did, as long as you keep your nose clean here.” Most people do not go by their birth names, choosing nicknames or monikers (or indeed, having them chosen for them) instead.

Rumors

“Is it just me, or have the earthquakes been getting more frequent in recent years? Ever since that Eighth Sister appears. And I mean, the red moon fell around that time too, didn’t it? They’ve gotta be related, right?”“I heard - multiple sources, mind you - that the sheriff - deputy sheriff, I mean - is some kind of snake wizard. Summoned a whole canyonful of snakes, that he did. Were you here fifteen years ago, when all those snakes came pouring out of Serpent’s Canyon? And who else came from Serpent’s Canyon, conveniently with no memories? Really makes you think, don’t it? What? I ain’t askin’ him! I don’t wanna wake up with a rattler in my boot!”“They say the good doctor has a whole collection o’ jars. If she does an autopsy on you, she always takes a bit out to keep as a keepsake. She might not even wait till you’re dead proper if you’ve got a bit inside you that’s interesting enough. So I heard, anyway…do me a favor and don’t mention it where she can hear you.”

Player Characters

"The Tribe"

The Tribe is a custom tribe of Raen Au ra. I do not object to people making their own members about it but I would love to discuss it first!

History

Several hundred years ago, a nomadic tribe of Raen found themselves on the Azim Steppe. They were driven out by the resident Xaela, and fled far to the north, to the most isolated mountain valleys where none cared to follow.Their fear of outsiders led to an extreme refusal to leave the barren mountains they came to call home, and the occasional wanderer who chanced upon them was presented with the simple choice: assimilate or die.When the red moon fell from the sky, The Tribe was beset by a number of sicknesses and disasters, thinning their ranks to dangerous levels, and now they face extinction.

Present Day

Given the severe reduction in population, The Tribe came to the decision that each member over twenty and under thirty, with no pre-existing obligations, would be sent forth into the world they had shunned for so long, with the following goals: establish new connections, learn of new things that would increase The Tribe's odds of survival, or else bring back fresh blood to keep their gene pool from imploding.Due to their long-standing distrust of strangers, each member leaving was required to take a "traveling name", to keep foreign spirits from learning their true names and using that information to find their way back to The Tribe and bring calamity upon it yet again.

Characteristics

Language: A variant of old Auri. Individuals' grasp of more modern tongues will vary.Physical appearance: Similar to other Au ra tribes, with the notable exception of females being as tall as the males in height. This is thought to be due to a dominant trait that was expressed and propogated early in The Tribe's history, although it is unclear if it existed before their isolation. Females do not develop mammary glands until late in the pregnacy of their first child.Religion: The Tribe's religion is heavily rooted in a belief in spirits. The Tribe believes that the world around them is innudated with spirits, and a number of their practices revolve around either appeasing the spirits, or attempting to not disturb them. Some spirits are thought to guide members of The Tribe forward, while others seek to cause harm.Martial Tradition: Earth-based aether manipulation is common in The Tribe, to the extent every child is taught it. Earth-based magics are used for both combat and healing. Other variants of aether can be manipulated by certain individuals, fire and lightning being the most common.

Caquix

Name: Caquix
Age: 3,000+ years
Race: Viis/Nightkin
Gender: Male
Occupation: Necromancer, Scientist
Physical Description: Pallid skin, black hair, black scelara, blood-red eye, green eye, pointy teeth.
Personality: Indulgent. Hedonistic. Driven by his hungers, yet capable of occasionally not being a complete bastard. Seldom exercises it.
History: One of the finest necromancers in the ancient Ronkan empire, it also proved his undoing. When he awoke after night had returned to Norvrandt, he found himself without the Empire he'd given so much more...that, and three thousand years in a trapped sleep state, might have rendered him a just a wee bit mad.

Hooks

~You run across a peculiar Viis in the Ra'tika Greatwoods, or he runs across you. Will you indulge his varied and bizarre questions?~ You find yourself in a life or death situation. Is he the cause, or will he spare you from whatever folly you did to get into the situation?~Perhaps you are a student of the Ronkan Empire. Can you convince him to talk about the kingdom once near and dear to him?

Race: Elf / Nightkin
Gender/Pronouns: female, she/her
Occupation: Cabinet of Curiosity Archivist, traveling historian

Companion: An animated book called Tiny Book, it has a penchant for wine, ink, and beating up historical tomes.

History

During The Everlasting Day, people speculated on whether Izane Muirgane ever left the Cabinet of Curiosity; no matter what hour one turned up in the Archives, if the words passed your lips that you sought some old book or little-known manuscript, she would materialize like a book-based dryad and offer assistance to your search. While there were other librarians, none could match her knowledge of the ancient and unknown. Her eccentricities and fierce possessiveness of her stacks were easily written off as the price one must pay for knowledge such as hers.When Night returned, she began leaving the library, wandering far and wide to collect and compile first-hand accounts of the return of Night.

Hooks

~You meet Fernwick wandering about somewhere. Maybe he's lost. Maybe he's looking for something. Maybe you can help.~You meet a Galdjent and a pixie arguing about something. Will you weigh in?~Maybe something needs stabbing or protecting. The quiet giant could definitely use the money.

At some point after that, seeking to learn mastery over the Beast now in his head, he pursued a number of monastic traditions.

He lay at the bottom of an underground waterfall until Night returned. Now...having built his temple...he wanders.

Alemayehu Menemi

Name: Alemayehu Menemi

Age: 27
Race: Wefi (custom bird race)
Gender: male
Physical Description: 4' 2"; red skin, red and black feathers. Wings that are capable of flight.
Personality: Angry. Does not hesitate to strike at the unknown. Not prone to trusting.
Strengths: Self-reliant. Decisive. Has the strength (and stubbornness) of his convictions.
Weaknesses: Angry at the world. Struggles to trust people. With his lack of knowledge comes a certain gullibility.
History: Alemayehu was named Berhanu Yesimeni. Originally of the North Colony, he lived there with his twin brother and his parents, but it was not a particularly happy family. His mother ruled the nest with a iron claw, inflicting her whims on her family behind closed doors while also forcing them to present a pleasant, united front to the colony. Things came to a head shortly before he was meant to be bonded to his pledged, and the ultimate result of it was that a teenaged Bereket struck his mother with a deadly blow. Regardless of his justification, and the fact that his father and brother failed to rally behind him, he was banished for his crime.After his wings were clipped and he was delivered to the rock where he was meant to be exiled, he declared himself unwilling to spend his life banished, only to spend eternity with his abuser in the sky. Wings clipped, he threw himself from the heavens and fell to the earth below. He gazed at the ground approaching him, and found it the most wondrous sight.Having survived his fall, much to his surprise, he gave himself a new name: Alemayehu, "I have seen the world"He was rescued by a woman who worked for a certain detective agency seeking proof of other shards, and since has chosen to follow in her footsteps, pursuing the strange and the occult.

Balia Khatayin

Name: Balia "Four Horns" Khatayin
MSQ Progression: Beginning of Shadowbringers
Age: 28
Race: Xaela Au ra
Gender: Female
Occupation: Mercenary, assassin
Base of Operation: Anywhere there's gil being paid.
Physical Description: Inky black skin, hair, and scales; bright red eyes; lithe and agile,
Personality: She'd stab you as soon as look at you - as long as she is getting paid for it. Otherwise she'll settle for a cutting remark. She has a cruel streak she will occasionally indulge. Morals are for other people. Perhaps not surprisingly, she does not form friendships, she develops contacts. And if she cuts a contact, it is quite literal.
History: Considering some of her fighting techniques, she was probably born on the Steppe. Considering her preferred dress is that of the Rogue's guild, it seems likely she spent some time there, although the Rogue's guild will deny any association with her or what she does. She is as hard to pin down as a shadow, and it's easy to imagine she likes it that way.

Personality: quiet. Can be sarcastic. Wee bit paranoid.
Strengths: can literally fly. Resistant to cold. Quite agile.

Estebeni At'insebari

Height: 4' 1"
Class: Summoner
Physical Description: brown wings capable of flight; brown head feathers and tail feathers; brown skin, black eyes, black hair with golden highlights.
Personality: warm; bubbly; diplomatic; struggles with paranoia when it comes to her own people.

History

Unlike the main branch of Wefi, Estebeni's people broke off centuries ago and attempted to migrate to Dalmasca, where they met with fierce resistence. Under the guide of a charismatic leader, they fought back before eventually retreating to a promised land in the sky.Fast forward to current day, and Estebeni's people's contact with outsiders has mostly be restrained to fighting off aspiring sky pirates. Estebeni, with youth, hope, and dreams, believed her nation would be better served by establishing diplomacy and trade with the lands below.However, misfortune occurred, and she finds herself trapped on the ground while she recovers from the fireball that destroyed her airship and her mission in one moment. Still, she believes in the dream of a not-as-shut-off Aegyl nation, and when she's able to return home, she plans to pursue her goals of that mission - whatever form they may take.

Hooks

Notes

Race: Her people call themselves Aegyl, but they are actually a mix of  Wefi (a custom race) with more traditional Aegyl elements from other FF titles. I am happy to figure how our birds' histories dovetail together if you play an aegyl of your own!

Deputy Sheriff of Fool's Gold

Name: Jackjoe, also known as "Deputy Sheriff" or, if you wish to annoy him, "Sheriff."MSQ Progression: HW patchesAge: more than 60, less than 200, probably. He's unsure.Race: Shetona (Viera)Gender: MaleHeight: 5' 7"Animal Companion: A rroneek named "Dumb Bastard"Occupation: Deputy SheriffBase of Operation: A treasure hunting town called Fool's Gold in Tupoomuani, a custom region in the Northeast of Shaaloani (think Tender Valley).Physical Description: tanned brown skin, blue hair with white highlights, one white eye, one blue eye. Was tattooed (?) at one point with some sort of red ink, which is now heavily scarred, extending from collarbone, to wrists, to ankles; however, this tattooing is barely visible, save for glimpses where such body parts show through his clothes (He tends to wear long sleeves and pants to avoid questions about this).Personality: Gruff, no-nonsense, sarcastic.Strengths: Keeps a cool head in an emergency, a good shot with his pistols and rifle, a strong will to survive, a crippling desire to do the right thing in spite of himself.Weaknesses: a keen sense of his failings, an unwillingness to go against the people paying his salary, a cowardliness compounded by fear of certain possible unpleasant truths lurking in his past, and a giant blind spot of rage where certain lawyers are concerned.

History

Twenty years ago, the Sheriff of Fool's Gold, a Tonawawta man, found the blue-haired Shetona dying of dehydration and starvation in the desert. He brought him back to Fool's Gold and nursed him back to health, eventually offering him a position as deputy sheriff. 'Jackjoe,' as the Shetona was named by the sheriff when he refused to give one, stayed on as deputy and close to the man who'd rescued him, looking to him as both friend and mentor. A few years ago, the sheriff abruptly disappeared, and when Jackjoe tried to investigate, he was informed that such investigations could turn out to be ill for one's health.He is a mostly quiet man, choosing his words carefully most of the time. He claims to have no memory of his life before Fool's Gold, and avoids speaking of the previous sheriff in anything but current tense. He stubbornly refuses all attempts at formal promotion to Sheriff, clinging to his title of "Deputy Sheriff".

Hooks

~You are out in Shaaloani when the blue-haired Shetona runs across you. Are you lost? Do you need help? Where are you going? Are you under attack by something?~You stumble into a town out in Shaaloani. Jackjoe is at whatever watering hole is there. He might be up for a conversation. If that town is Fool's Gold, he's happy to give you a lay of the land and insight into the town's culture.~Are you seeking answers to the mystery that is Tupoomuani? Or what treasure might lie in it? He'll be happy to give you his thoughts.~You saw a poster or received word of some dangerous, deadly, or just plumb strange critter in the region. Jackjoe's probably the person who sent out the poster, and therefore just the person you should talk to about killing and collecting the bounty on the thing.~A rumor that won't seem to die dogs Jackjoe's steps - that he is some sort of powerful sorcerer with a mastery of snakes. Bring it up to him and see what happens.

"The Dark Star Shines"

Name: Kaiwano Suuyu Weiyuma
Age: 18 or thereabouts
Race: Maikong (custom fox shifter race)
Gender: male
Occupation: wanderer
Base of Operation: Tural
Physical Description: Dark, nearly black skin; black hair and tail with gray highlights; yellow eyes; canine-shaped ears.
Personality: Prior to the Event in his history, Kaiwano was a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, mischievous sort. Afterwards, he became quiet, cautious, and withdrawn, with a deep suspicion of anyone who hasn't earned his trust.
Strengths: Adept at surviving in the wild. Skilled hunter. Fast runner.
Weaknesses: Lacks knowledge of the world and its cultures, including those in Tural. Unfamiliarity with modern life. Hesitant to trust.
History: Kaiwano grew up in the deep jungles of Yak Tel, owing to his people's fear of outsiders. Centuries of persecution from neighbors who attribute their shifting abilities to the unnatural influence of tural vidraal have driven them to the edges of the world, into the most harsh and unforgiving environs. Even so, this was not always enough to save them, and Kaiwano's village was wiped out by a group of vidraal hunters searching for a turaal vidraal. Kaiwano barely escaped with his life. After those events, and for lack of a better path, Kaiwano has started wandering the world at large, searching for more of his people.

An old crone spoke of some sort of prophecy to their mother...which Khorchi has never gotten the full details of, but it heavily implied that her and her brother were keys to finding a great treausre. The twins were separated at birth, and Khorchi was raised by the man she called Father (who might have been her father...who knows), who was a successful pirate in his own right. She eventually took over control of his ship (The Smokewater Gem) and his crew upon his retirement, and has some success in making her own mark upon the high seas, although getting people outside of her crew to respect her as a captain is still an uphill battle.

K'inich Ty'at

Name: K'inich Ty'at
Links: RPHub
MSQ Progression: Dawntrail
Age: 40s
Race: Xbr'aal (Hrothgar)
Gender: It's Complicated
Occupation: Taqueria / Hostel owner & Proprieter.
Base of Operation: Tuliyollal, could be anywhere in Tural, feasibly
Physical Description: Larger-than-normal ears, golden hair and fur, dark fangs and claws, bright green eyes, black markings, slender horns
Height: 6' 6"
Personality: Complicated.History: K'inich had a reasonably normal life in a remote tribe of Yak T'el until the red moon fell from the sky, and she discovered she was not alone in her head. Facing ostracization from her people and her family when beset with what seemed to be a sudden mental illness, she took her leave of them and left to search for answers - or, preferably, a cure.The voices told her they were shards of her soul, each fallen in a great calamity that consumed their world, and the fact she was hearing them meant that another one had happened; each time such a one happened, they would all wake up with a new one among their number.K'inich may hold some doubt as to whether they speak true (although recent events in Yyasulani suggest that perhaps they are). In the meantime, she needs to put her life back together. Somehow, that led to her running a Taqueria with high-quality local food and drink, and an attached hostel for wanderers who need a place for the night.

Do you want to create along with her? Share your own creative endeavors?~ (Dome Era RP) You've heard rumors of someone with the ability to tweak what is on a regulator - some say you can even fool the system into thinking you don't exist at all. Are you in a line of work or personal circumstance that lead you to want to disappear from the system?~ (Current Era) Were you someone aided by Mariposite's know-how of exploiting holes that were never patched? Are you trying to find someone who might have been?

Robyn Wardwake

Name: Robyn Wardwake
MSQ Progression: Base ARR
Age: 22
Race: Half Hyur, Half Au ra
Gender: Male
Occupation: Dockhand, sometimes. Whatever he can do to survive.
Base of Operation: Anywhere there might be a port.
Physical Description: Young, boyish face, black scales on his body, black scaly au ra tail. Blue and black long hair, one black eye, one white eye.
Personality: Easy to smile, enjoys life's basic pleasures, a bit adrift in what he actually wants out of life at the moment, unless it means not being used as a pawn by someone else, in particular his sister. Tends to talk out loud to himself - the more alone he thinks he is, the more he will talk. Has a singing voice that compels most people to stop what they are doing to listen.

History

He was born to an Au ra mother in an unspecified port town, with a full-blooded Au ra sister (Khorchi). The twins were separated shortly after birth, after an old crone spoke of some sort of prophecy to their mother...which Robyn has never gotten the full details of. He was raised on an isolated island in the care of a woman he called Aunty and a small community, primarily composed of retired sailors or others who looked for peace and quiet. Ships only stopped by the island on a very irregular basis, forcing the island dwellers to be largely self-sufficient. One day, a shipwrecked sailor was cast up on their shore, and they took him in, intending to nurse him back to health. However, the shipwrecked sailor carried a virulent diesease, which proceeded to wipe out every soul on island - except for Robyn, who proceeded to live on the island, alone, for another two years, until his sister Khorchi showed up on her own ship to take him away. Khorchi, having been told that her and her long-lost brother were instrumental to a prophecy foretelling the location of great treasure, sought her brother out in an attempt to make this prophecy come true and find this treasure. Robyn, eventually feeling like his sister only saw him as a means to an end and having no actual familial affection for him, eventually ditched his sister's ship as she was sailing out of a port town, and has been doing his best to eke out his own existence...and not get caught by Khorchi again.

Dancer & Entertainer of Shaaloani

Name: The Sable Spadassin (stage name, but they'll happily respond to Sable. What name did their mother give them? They're not telling)Age: 28Race: Shetona (Viera)Gender: Agender/Nonbinary ("Oh, I'm just me, honey. Ain't got nobody else to be").Physical Description: Skin as dark as a moonless night, eyes as red as the seething heart of a volcano, hair as black as a raven's wing with highlights as white as a dove's down.Personality: Cocky, flamboyant, flirty.Strengths: The ability to make anyone feel like they are their best friend. Excellent at performing (dancing and other...things). An impeccable sense of fashion (at least, they would tell you this is a strength of theirs).Weaknesses: Bad with money (really bad). For all their ability to make friends, they struggle to actually establish meaningful bonds (or at least, any they would hesitate to throw away). A tendency to blame everyone else for problems in their life.

Hooks

~Your travels - whatever they be for - lead you to stop at a saloon where Sable is working (for the time being), either for a show or as a server on the floor.~You are on the road, and you suddenly find yourself in the company of a very extroverted, excitable Shetona, who really just needs a protector to travel with to the next town, please and thank you, they're ever so grateful.~Sable did a stint in the Tuliyollal entertainment industry, and vanished from it nearly as fast as they appeared. If you are from the entertainment industry there, maybe you have an idea why they're working cheap saloons in middle of nowhere...or maybe not. (OOC discussion required)

A Doctor of Shaaloani

Name: Sheeho
Age: 60s
Race: Hhetsarro
Gender: female
Physical Description: Pale skin, brown hair, usually wears prescription goggles
Personality: Has the bedside manner of a roll of barbed wire. This attitude pretty much extends to every other part of her life.
Strengths: Can remain cool, calm, and collected in extreme circumstances. Is a skilled doctor. Has the trust and confidence of townsfolk and travelers alike.
Weaknesses: While she can shoot a gun, like most people in Shaaloani, she is not a combat expert. Has a perpetual wall between her and people who might get close to her, even if she might want a closer relationship. While she can do some low-level healing spells, she lacks the necessary capability to do more than try to stabilize someone if they're gravely injured.History: Sheeho is probably one of the longest-lasting denizens of Fool's Gold, having first moved there when it was an optimistic ceruleum mining town, and has served as the town doctor for that length of time (30 years, more or less. She has also been saying, repeatedly, for the last 20 years, she's going to leave that dusty dump. People have rather stopped believing her at this point). Like many denizens of Fool's Gold, her life before coming there is a firmly closed book. While she can use some healing magic, she vastly prefers non-magical means to get people back on their feet (Also, she can't do that much of it, which is another factor). She loves collecting gossip, although she is very strict on what information she shares. There have been attempts to woo the good doctor, which usually results in the hopeful suitor leaving town in a hurry (sometimes in the middle of the night, if you believe the rumors). Some whispers suggest (only when the good doc is nowhere to hear them) that she carried a flame for the old Sheriff, who has been missing for several years at this point. If she knows what happened to him, she's not sharing that, either.

Thunder Snow

Name: 'Thunder Snow', a 'traveling name'
MSQ Progression: Base ARR
Age: 26
Race: Raen Au Ra, of "The Tribe"
Gender: Male
Occupation: Explorer
Base of Operation: Primarily the far east, could also be in various locations throughout Eorzea
Physical Description: Pale white skin, white scales, white hair with black highlights, pitch black eyes
Personality: Quiet, surly, generally suspicious
Strengths: A decent wielder of thunder and lightning magicks. Pragmatic approach to things. A deep sense of loyalty to perceived duty, regardless of personal costs.
Weaknesses: Overly suspicious of people and their motives. Reluctance to show anything that could be a weakness. Unwillingness to directly admit when he is wrong.

History

He grew up as a member of a tribe of isolated Raen (known by its members as 'The Tribe') far north of the Azim Steppe.
When the Calamity happened and their small numbers were further reduced, the elders sent forth a number of their surviving youths out into the world, either to establish new connections, learn of new things that would increase The Tribe's odds of survival, or else bring back fresh blood to keep their gene pool from imploding.Due to their superstitions long seated in their distrust of strangers, each person leaving was required to take a "traveling name", to keep foreign spirits from learning their true names and using that information to find their way back to "The Tribe" and using it to inflict harm on them. Thunder Snow chose his name in part because of his fascination for that particular weather occurrence, but also for his affinity with lightning magics.While reluctant to leave the Tribe for a world he's been told his entire life is full of dangers and peril, he did so out of duty to the Tribe, and, having been out in the wider world but a short time, has come to realize there is so much unknown by the Tribe, so he considers it his duty to learn as much about it as he can, which he prefers to do by observation, rather than talking to people, although inevitably it cannot be helped.

Name: Willow Carpenter
Datacenter: EU
MSQ Progression: Base ARR
Age: 26
Race: Half elezen, half hyur
Gender: male
Occupation: Carpenter
Base of Operation: Gridania
Physical Description: Tan, black hair with a widow's peak, short pointed ears, decently muscled from manual labor
Personality: Has a tendency to hyperfocus on his craft, to his occasional detriment or possibly personal growth. Is generally easy going, if perpetually distracted.
History: Born in Gridania to a Hyur woman, Willow never knew his biological father, although his own physical traits suggest he was an elezen. His mother remarried a Hyur carpenter and adopted Willow, who he trained in the craft, along with Willow's half-brother. When the Calamity happened, Willow's entire family perished, and since then, he's kept doing what he knows how to do - to become the best carpenter he can be, in keeping with his adopted father's teachings - although he has certainly hyperfocused on it, in all liklihood to distract himself from the family he lost.
