Friday Feature Eain the ELUSIVE Angler - 11/05/2010
A while back we shared the news that the first ELUSIVE fish angler was Eain on the Chilastra galaxy. Since then, we've learned a little bit more about Eain and wanted to share his story and pictures with the community.
Eain the ELUSIVE Angler
Eain is a Rebel General in the Galactic Civil War. For most of his professional career he has been a Medic, however, for a brief period of time he did take on a commando role.
As if being an officer in the GCW wasn't enough, Eain is also the Mayor of the city called Downtown which is located on Dantooine.
The city is located along the shores near a small bridge. The citizens of Downtown can often be found fishing off the bridge. It is Eain's favorite location to fish and where he angled the ELUSIVE Tatooine laa. He also likes to hop on his hover chair and go out deep in the southern ocean on Endor to fish.
Eain is a refugee from the Corbantis galaxy. Over time, he has fished a great deal across both galaxies. He finished the main fishing collections over a year ago.
Eain began fishing in order to acquire additional tropical atmosphere for various fish tanks. During the period when he caught the ELUSIVE fish he was on a mission to help the guild's structures crafter finish a collection for crafting fish tanks to place within the city.
Within his new Kashyyyk Tree House, Eain has two fish tanks. He's in the middle of decorating his tree but we managed to sneak a few pictures. The ELUSIVE fish he angled is proudly displayed in one of these tanks.
Behind the Avatar
The person behind Eain avatar has been playing Star Wars Galaxies since February 2005. While he has a few other alternate characters, his main one is Diodon, a crafter. Diodon has also completed the fishing collections.
Ironically, Eain enjoys aquatics in real life. He studied marine biology in Hawaii and worked at an oceanarium where he took care of sharks and sting rays. He is an avid scuba diver and skin diver.
Shortly after acquiring the ELUSIVE fish in game, he traveled to Maui to go diving on an exploration of hammerhead sharks.
He also has two sal****er aquariums at home. Unfortunately, he has been off on exotic adventurers so we do not have pictures of those aquariums to show you at the time but, we hope to share them when they arrive.
We will be highlighting future ELUSIVE anglers through Galactic Showcase, so if you catch an ELUSIVE fish be sure to submit information about yourself to galacticshowcase@soe.sony.com!
