ㅤHired Bowㅤ He'd do almost any job that has him going out on a hunt, he loves the thrill of it all, especially with good company! he's quite skilled with a bow and a very good shot, as long as you don't mind the absolute chaos that accompanies clay on his ventures. (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 gil! (common).
ㅤClutzㅤ Clay's a huge clutz and he's not that embarrassed by it. He might bump into you in a street, or you'll see a soggy looking rat of a man trip and fall in the middle of a market. But you know what, it's alright, he always gets back up and keeps it pushing. nothing wrong with being a lil' clumzy, as a treat. (common)

ㅤSoft Spotㅤ Despite being an active hunter, Clay has a lot of affection for younger animals and little critters and isn't afraid of going out of his way to help & protect any who cross his path. he's especially fond of birds; he has a little bird friend! or... well, different ones from the same species that he assumes are the same bird following him. don't tell him they're different, he might not survive the news. perhaps you run into clay due to having some connection with an animal he encounters and immediately wants to pet. no he does not care that said animal might be four times his size he WILL pet it. (uncommon)

ㅤPickpocketㅤ He's not afraid to try and snatch a thing or two to meet his needs if it comes down to it. You might glance upon his sleight of hands, and try to do something about it. he's also incredibly dumb about it, i fear, given the miqo'te frequently goes back to questions people about the items he pickpocketed if he couldn't figure out what something foreign to him was.. (uncommon)

ㅤSocial Butterflyㅤ He is so damn friendly. a little too friendly, even. he walks up to anyone and treats them like they're best of friends who've known each other for ages. is it genuine? yes, actually! he just enjoys making friends and good company, but it doesn't mean he's not actively trying to pickpocket them. friends share, after all... and you're already his friend. yes, YOU. where's your gil pouch again? (common)

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 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. (common)

ㅤSocial Butterflyㅤ After a relatively quiet life during his childhood and teen years, he's grown so interested in learning more about life, people, cultures and all the different beauties of the world. Provided you’ve piqued his interest in some way, he’ll ask question after question and talk your ears off.

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, so he 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 small flirty 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.
ㅤSilly Lil' Guyㅤ Tends to have a bit of a childlike whimsy to him, can be a lil goofy and silly at times when he lets his guard down, but can lock in and flip to a serious demeanor when needed.

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
