  Personality   Though old by the standards of the shorter lived races, Emerick is still on the younger side by Veena standards. Though much of the early decades of his life were molded by hatred, loathing, and loss, he seems to have turned a corner, and tries to make up for all that he missed.To know Emerick is to know the many sides of a die. He can be extroverted, energetic, and humorous just as often as he can be quiet and observing. Humor seems to be a defining trait that one must expect of the Veena, for though he merely moonlights as a Bard, the profession comes to him almost naturally. To those that get to know him closely, they find that despite the rough and imposing exterior, he is little more than a golden retriever, filled with energy.Emerick is dynamic, though he is fiercely loyal and dependent to those he cares about. Despite his age, he tries only to give advice when he deems it useful; to him, long-life has been a curse, and he never believes he knows better than another simply because he has seen more passages of seasons.

  Brief Background (Extremely Surmised)  
Emerick was born in the Golmore Jungle. Though not his given name, 'Emerick' is the third name he has adopted, and the only one he reveals to all but the most important people in his life. His first memory in Golmore is the sight of his dying mother, cut down before him by Dalmascan Loggers that managed to evade the Wood-Warders and penetrate the Jungle.Hatred defined his early years, eventually leading a group of similarly-minded friends away from their clan, forming what was to be known as the Var'Ashiir. As its leader, Emerick led them against a small village of Dalmascans, leaving Golmore Jungle; the first mistake of his life. The attack was a massacre, and Emerick was saved only due to the aid of an older Veena that broke the Green Word for him.Once recovered, Emerick spent decades in the Older Veena's company, eventually serving as a Wood-Warder until the older Veena passed. Having nothing left, he left Golmore for good, becoming an assassin as a way to channel his hatred. Eventually he made the second biggest mistake of his life, and became a pawn of a Yakuza clan called The Hakugawa Family.Emerick spent 34 years in the clan, eventually captaining his own subsidiary before leaving in his 91st Summer. After that he spent the next decade bouncing between Gridania, Ishgard, and Ul'dah, opening a small Import/Export Business in Gridania. In the present day, the 111 Year Old Veena is constantly on the move, looking out for opportunities and connection, wanting to make up for all that he lost in the decades of his life spent consumed by anger.
