ㅤHired Bowㅤ He'd do almost any job that has him going out on a hunt, he loves the thrill of it all, especially if it's done with good company! he's quite skilled with a bow, a pretty alright shot. and honestly? unexpectedly pretty resourceful. take him out on a hunt and see what shenanigans come out of it! (common)
ㅤOdd Jobsㅤ He's not limited to hunting, though! clay's the kind to be up for anything and everything, and pop up in the most random of places. he's always willing to do an odd job or two for the love of the game.. and the gil that comes with that doesn't hurt, surely. (common)
ㅤBotanyㅤ Clay's always had an interest in botany growing up, and his mother instilled a lot of twelveswood foraging knowledge when it comes to the local flora into him. there's so much more to the world than the twelveswood, though, and the man's always taking an interest in learning about new ingredients, recipes, and toying with new ways to utilize them. (common)

ㅤSoft Spotㅤ Clay has a lot of affection for animals and little critters. he's especially fond of birds. perhaps you run into him due to having some connection with an animal wants to befriend. and no, he does not care that said animal might be four times his size, he will pet it. (common)

ㅤPart Time Pickpocketㅤ He's not afraid to try and snatch a thing or two if he's intrigued. shiny object? hand it over. you might glance upon his sleight of hands, and try to do something about it. and given the man frequently goes back to question people about the items he'd pickpocketed if he couldn't figure out what do.. well, let's just say he's not the brightest when it comes to keeping his theft a secret. (uncommon)

ㅤWanted!ㅤ Unbeknownst to him, clay's actually a wanted man in ishgard right now. remember how he can pickpocket things? well... apparently stealing a pet rat from the nobility is a crime. who would've thought? anyways, god forbid a man have a new small friend. you might've seen his face on wanted posters around that part of eorzea. he's hard to miss, after all. (uncommon)

ㅤThe Rat's Roadㅤ Ever since this guy's connected with his previously estranged dad, he's been helping around in the nomadic venue the old man runs with clay's now step dad. be it mopping, cooking, arranging, helping them move to a new location when the time comes, or even running the bar for a night! Clay bartends there frequently, despite his own distaste for alcohol, and you're likely to run into him at the rat's road venues when the old guys need a break. (uncommon)

ㅤSocial Butterflyㅤ Clay is so damn friendly. a little too friendly, even. he walks up to anyone and treats them like they've best of friends who've known each other for ages. is it genuine? yes, actually! he just enjoys making friends and finding good company wherever he goes. this could be off-putting to the more skeptical individuals, though. if he's that friendly, just what is he hiding?ㅤFree Spiritㅤ His behavior is always just what feels natural to him. He's grown up just out and about hunting and surviving mostly on his own, and he carried that into adulthood. clay doesn't tend to overthink his actions under the lens of how they're being perceived by others, but rather does exactly what he wants to for himself.

ㅤSocial Cues? Who?ㅤ An unintentional flirt when he's intrigued by someone, clay's always a bit on the honest side and doesn't really filter his words much, which results in him making honest remarks towards those he finds endearing. Unfortunately for him, he tends to be completely oblivious when the same energy is returned back at him unless very clearly confronted with it.
ㅤMatured... kinda.ㅤ Despite great efforts to be more 'mature' in his mannerisms and how he tackles the world, clay still tends to have a bit of a childlike whimsy to him. he can be a lil goofy... a lil silly, even, when he lets his guard down around those he trusts.

ㅤKinfolkㅤ Raised by a Keeper mother in The Black Shroud, Clay's early childhood consisted of him being taught the ropes of life by her, from how to aim his bow, to how to cook his hunts. He didn't think of much of this time of his life, it was a quiet life spent with her. Clay knew nothing of his father, he just knew that he the man was a Seeker, but he knew nothing more of him.

ㅤHow To Fightㅤ As the years passed and Clay grew into his teen years, he started to become more independant of his mother's assistance and able to thrive on his own. He'd reached a point where he knew his way around the Black Shroud like the back of his hand, and honed his skills with his trusty bow and handmade arrows. And due to a few close calls with hunts, he even ended up training in close ranged combat, relying mostly on pocket knives he can pull out in a pinch if someone gets too close.

ㅤBad Diseaseㅤ During this period, however, his mother started growing old and terminally ill; her weary bones stopping her from being as active as she used to be, and he had to take on the caretaker role. Throughout his late teens, He'd have to use all the skills his mother had taught him, but in order to care for her; Clay would go out hunting, cook her food, and care for her on the days where her illnesses flared up, he'd even wander into settlements and towns, stealing whatever he needed to take care of her, and faced the wrath of angry merchants the few times he was caught, but that only taught him to be better and more efficient at it next time.

ㅤSouvenirㅤ That period of his life lasted for many years until his mother's illness finally got the best of her when he was 19. The boy was now on his own, but he carried her with him everywhere he went. Everytime he pulled the string of his bow, seasoned his meals, followed a beautiful butterfly in the woods; she was always with him in spirit.

ㅤClean Breakㅤ With the one thing tethering him to his home now gone, Clay picked up the life of a wandering rogue. The Miqo'te started travelling constantly and taking on odd jobs, usually in Thanalan, Dravania or whenever he returns home.
ㅤSet Sailㅤ Clay's had an interest in the seas ever since he experienced being near one for himself. Having never been to close proximity to one in his childhood, he never knew how captivating the large bodies of water would be to him; he has a vivid memory of the first time he stared out at the Rhotano Sea and how he felt so drawn to it. That interest was satiated when one of the odd jobs he took landed him aboard a ship for months. During that period, he's experienced so much life that the relatively sheltered younger version of himself couldn't even imagine of.
ㅤRomance Is Blood on the Thornㅤ During his onboard adventures, Clay hit it off with one of the members of that crew, a fellow Miqo'te sailor. However, their romance sunk after a series of very unfortunate events and betrayals that left him incredibly hurt, he tries burying the memories of this segment of his life, and doesn't often bring it up.
ㅤLost and Foundㅤ For the last couple of years, ever since his return to land, Clay's reconnected with his estranged father after walking into a traveler's stop that ended up being owned by the old man, and their relationship has slowly been recovering since, or rather forming. he often helps the old man run his traveler's rest, The Rat's Cove
