Appearance

Height: Rather tall for a Miqo'te, standing at almost 6 foot. Despite being tall for his kind, he often feels inferior to most other races.

Build: Athletic, tone, and lean. This is the result of daily routines and serving in the Crimson Fleet.

Hair: Sapphire, kind of wild. Unintentionally regal-appearing. Some say he looks younger because of it.

Eyes: Sapphire, average-sized and sharp. His pupils are larger than most and give off an icy glare in certain lighting conditions.

Skintone: Fairly tan. Being a sailor as well as his constant training has taken a toll on his skin tone.

Markings: He doesn't bare any unique markings, but the ones apparent are the usual markings of a Seeker found just below his eyes/on his cheeks.

History

On a particularly fateful day, not much was known as to what exactly happened during this unknown incident. Ship debris floated about on the surface of the vast ocean waters, including an unconscious, rather young Miqo'te. Much evidence and thorough searching showed that he was the only survivor. Floating on top of a water barrel for what seemed like several hours, Ryuki was finally picked up by a passing by ship that was on its way to Limsa Lominsa. Aboard the ship were knights of the Crimson Fleet. Within them were two individuals who felt an unexpected urge to take him in, making him their adopted son soon after. However, due to unfortunate events, not a whole lot of time went by before the young Miqo'te lost his new parents. Having only the memory of them and not the ones before that gave him life, Ryuki held onto what he could. All he had to show was a memento of sorts: A necklace with a fiery ruby jewel worn tightly around his left wrist that was often hidden. Inheriting their will, he was then brought under the Crimson Fleet's care. He was only six cycles old then, when they passed away.

Many, many years pass. Having grown up strictly, Ryuki felt suffocated and wanted to do more than just study. He learned a fair bit, standing at twenty-six years of age currently, ranging from hand-to-hand combat, to sword play, and even simple medical needs. During his youthful days, he befriended two Miqo'te who grew fond of him for various reasons. They played much influence in him setting out towards Ul'dah where he currently resides. His goal? To follow the footsteps of his departed loved ones in becoming a knight and protect all those he could.

Personality

"Stand guard!!"

Confident, outgoing, and curious. He would tackle any situation with his head up high and with an open-mind. If comrades were included, their safety would be highest priority. Always looking out for others, one could almost say he acts as though he doesn't care about his well-being too often. Though usually resilient, Ryuki would back down from a fight if necessary.

"The usual?"

When not on the field or in battle, the blue-haired Miqo'te can often be seen in/or around the Drowning Wench located in Limsa Lominsa. His forwardness tends to come off misleading with the opposite sex, in which compliments to others have gotten him in trouble before despite being a gentleman. He enjoys meeting new people, but he himself wouldn't know why he obtains such a thrill in doing so. Every new person is like an adventure of its own according to him.

Alignment: Neutral Good

Likes: The rain Meeting new faces Training Flirting Women; prefers midlanders and miqo'te but treats them all equally Genuine people

Dislikes: Friends drinking irresponsibly Unnecessary conflict Bullying

Favorites: Color: Blue, although his usually-white attire contradicts that Hangout Spot: Costa del Sol's peninsula Strengths: A strong-willed gentleman and an excellent fighter, especially when it comes to melee/close-quarter-combat. This isn't a well-known fact though, and often times than not people are lead to believe he isn't capable fighter. He is passive when it comes to fighting, but when someone is endangered, especially one close to him, Ryuki will not hesitate to step in and do what he does best. Protect and survive. Weaknesses: If one could call it a weakness, he's extremely prone to wanting to aid others. He cannot resist attempting to make someone happy if he knows he himself can achieve such. However, like a double-edged sword, this means he can easily be taken advantage of. Relations Family Mitsunari Minami (deceased): Passive-aggressive fellow with a "never give up, never surrender" personality. A highly-respected man. His father. Kagura Minami (deceased): Monotonous. A beautiful tactician who only spoke when needed to. Very caring, but uncommonly displayed it. His mother. Friends/Acquaintances Caysen Meridian: Dark blue-haired, male Miqo'te. Often quiet and looks after Ryuki. His comrade, and long-time childhood best friend. Saved him from bullying when they were children. Seohyun Iyasu: A female Hyur he's head over heels for. He got hurt badly while saving her from near-death, but she nursed him back to health as a result of his heroic act. If it ever came down to it, Ryuki would act without question to protect her. Xenedra Ambreaus: Mischievous. Red-headed Miqo'te whom he frequents at the Soliloquy. She has tendencies to randomly pinch his cheeks without his consent, although he doesn't necessarily dislike it. Manari Onari: Shy, cute, and Gridania-native. He plans on visiting her if or when he decides to step foot on the grassy plains. J'huiz Suhzu: A close friend he's known for awhile and cares a lot for. Due to recent events, he's been keeping her at bay. Abaigeal Causland: Silly, easy-to-tease Highlander whom he's recently come acquainted with. Jayce Lightfall: This platinum-haired Hyur was one of the players in the 'games' they both were a part of. Being the first and only male to have both stripped and seen Ryuki naked, they've been seen hanging out together from time to time. ..But not like /that/. Misaio Imella: An acquaintance he gained through a drinking game that he won. Foolishly betting himself as the prize, the game resulted in a possible new friendship. Scarlet Willow: Misaio's close friend. She scolded Ryuki thinking he was up to no good, but through conversation, has befriended this Roegadyn.
