—Nameday: 21st Sun of the 3rd Umbral Moon. (6/20)
—Orientation: Gray-ace Homosexual
—Occupation: Astromancer, Enchanter of Magical Items, Spellcrafter.Native to Doma, Daniko was born in a backwater village known as Tomari during the Garlean Occupation.Taken in at a young age by Hoshino clan of Bukyo, Daniko has seldom experienced life outside his clan's watchful eyes due to a sheltered upbringing.Now living in Eorzea, Daniko's at an age where he is expected to take over his parents' duties, a prospect that he's not too enthused about after having grown a love for studying magic throughout the years.

The Morning Star
—Personality
Daniko does his utmost to portray himself as a proper gentleman with his manners and kindness, more often than not giving an impression that he's older than he actually is with his poise and manners. His somewhat inexperienced use of the lexicon and the way he doesn't quite keep his emotions in check however, are a clear give away to the Hrothgar's youth to the more observant person.Having been instilled with a sense of propriety by his parents, the golden Hrothgar may come off as demure when speaking to people from outside his clan, but the way his eyes light up when the topic of magical arts comes up reveals that there's more than meets the eye to the normally quiet Hrothgar.He can find himself leaning on pompousness and vanity at times, particularly when talking about his looks or the golden-hued coat he is well-known for. Surprisingly, he doesn't talk much about his accomplishments on Astromancy.People close to him are very much aware that the Hrothgar's actually a very doting person, having grown up with no siblings of his own, the beastman very much makes up for that shortcoming with his treatment of his friends.
—Aspirations and Accomplishments
Daniko's talent for Astromancy is one that's garnered him a small reputation in the field. Though he doesn't oft bring it up, he's been credited with contributing on the creation of a couple recent spells in the current Astrologian's spellbook.Not wanting to stop at just one field of magic, however, he's been on the lookout for new arcane arts to learn. Though a daunting task, he aspires to learn the other schools of magic taught in the realm, even if it takes years for him to fully grasp them.Like the rest of his Clan, he's been given training as an Enchanter of magical items as well as some intermediary knowledge on Spellcrafting, a more esoteric field of magic that deals in altering the properties of a spell to achieve a new effect and the creation of new magicks.
Character Hooks
Walk-ups and tells are welcome!Culinary Arts: Daniko essentially has been cooking since a young age with the help of his mother. His specialty lies in Far Eastern food, one of his personal goals is to introduce Eorzean folk to his home's cooking. Additionally, the quickest way to his heart is through sweets, which he has an incredible fondness for.Adventurers: Growing up in a region where adventurers are commonplace, Daniko has grown to romanticize the concept of adventure to a worrying degree. As the only child to his parents, they are extremely disapproving of the idea of him becoming an adventurer. Even still, that doesn't really stop him from trying to rope in actual adventurers to indulge him into a real journey.Astromancy: While not a dedicated adventurer, Daniko is a well-accomplished Astrologian. He was home-schooled under the art for a few years, before finally finishing his training in Ishgard. His tutelage has given him a good reputation amongst Astrologians due to his talent with the art of Astromancy.Disciplines of Magic: Easily his life's dream. Daniko has been enamored with how magic is done. Other fellow mages easily catch his attention, especially so if it's a school of magic that he himself isn't privy to.Magic Items: Daniko has a high aptitude when it comes to enchanting items due to his family background. He's more than happy to take on a favor if it means having someone else to talk to while working.
Hoshino Clan

Such examples of this are Daniko's ephemeris, Lucifer, and the ribbons that typically adorn his attires.His mother is known as Mari, and his father, Nobunori. The two of them deal with the mercantile endeavors of the Hoshino clan in Eorzea along with teaching their son the art of enchanting. Daniko is an only child, making him next in line to take over the family business.The majority of his family is situated in Bukyo, the capital of Hingashi, with only himself and his parents being settled in Eorzea, with the family typically visiting during the holidays and major events.
Greetings! Thank you so much for taking an interest on my character. While I'm fairly new to RP in FFXIV, I still have some decent experience from previous places. Though I am fairly open to everything, I do have some guidelines. Not everything about Daniko is stated in the carrd, as I'd rather it be revealed in-character. I am personally okay with slightly bending the lore here and there, we're here to have fun firstmost, after all!My preference is to roleplay in-game, but I'm also available to do so on Discord on request.
