Character
♦ General
Not truly of the Lynx tribe, X'tai ('Tai' for short) was the second son born to X'akariah Nunh on a small island in the Cieldalaes Isles. His father ran a bootlegging and farming operation with his 25 females and their children, running booze to pirate operations and certain organisations in Limsa Lominsa. When his mother died, Tai was forced to take up her duties in order to earn his keep: catching and killing the various insects that threatened the crops. He discovered early on that the insect parts he gathered could be brewed into alchemical concoctions with the discarded brewers equipment he salvaged, and furthermore, he began a habit of observing and recording the behaviors of the insects. It has been hinted that Tai used a Diremite Pheromone to poison the pirates that were visiting X'akariah Nunh in readiness to begin a shipping contract. His father's wrath at being the accused poisoner would be the cause of Tai's expulsion from the island, and exile to Eorzea.
♦ Appearance
Tai is as tall as Seekers can get. He has fair skin, powder blue eyes and white hair. His left hand sports a mass of scars that appear to resemble scales and he often keeps that hand gloved. Tai's smile is lopsided and his ears are slightly shorter than other miqo'te. He is usually seen dressed in white as an advertisement for his healing skills, and sports a tattoo on one bicep that masks a brand he received in his younger years. He wears a cursed ring on a chain around his throat, and a high allagan choker around his neck. Usually looks as though he is smiling.
♦ Behaviour
Tai's worldview centers around the idea that people aren't inherently bad. His ability to see the best in people, and perhaps his generous nature lends itself to inspire others to be nicer to one another. His outlook does tend to occlude his ability to see the underhand dealings of some members of his Free Company, though. He is quick to forgive, and even quicker to come to someone's rescue, even a possible enemy. He will ramble on for hours when presented with the topics of magic or insects - two subjects at which he is most often found in study.
Tai is quick to smile, and often masks his troubles with goofy behavior. He is easily embarrassed and often awkward around strangers.
Despite his best intentions, Tai makes bad snap decisions. Whether it is impatience or fear guiding the choices, they often result in unforeseen consequences; see also "bad decision roulette".
Combat
Eschewing hand to hand in favour of aetheric prowess, Tai uses a combination of summoning and elemental magics, along with some extensively altered magical workings of his own. He mostly avoids combat, and tries to caution his friends to avoid lethal force in a fight.

Bad Decision Roulette - Among the many bad decisions Tai has made as a result of snap decisions or ham-handed attempts to save people are:
- ■ Taking on an almost lethal amount of corruption in order to save and redeem an enemy.
- ■ Using enhanced primal magics when confronted with the possibility of being wrongfully arrested, resulting in the deaths of several people
- ■ Assisting a friend in infiltrating a beastmen stronghold to rescue a tempered child (intent on experimenting on the child to reverse the process)
- ■ Entrusting a known dangerous summoner with a grimoire of forbidden knowledge.
- ■ Giving a strong aphrodisiac to the care of a man intending on using it in revenge.
