Kaiten Tobukizu
Contents[edit]
♦ In-Game BriefComing from a upper-class merchant family that plummeted into nigh-extinction when the Doman rebellion fell to Garlean might, Kaiten is a man of expensive taste and (seemingly) impressive means of fulfilling those tastes. The hows and whys of these means being available to him are details that are kept close to his chest. Versed in alchemy and proficient in several martial arts, Kaiten is the poster boy for an educated, upper-class gentleman that never had many expectations placed onto him. He's lucky that the woman he was engaged to at a young age came from a strict family that insisted he be given responsibility and taught both restraint and useful skills, lest he wallow in the self-aggrandizing cycle of rich playboys with too much time and money on their hands.
♦ GeneralKaiten is a stranger in a strange world with little more than a (now empty) coinpurse, his wife, and her brother to remind him of home. Having come across the ocean during the Doman exodus--but only coming ashore in recent moons--he's managed to adapt fairly well to both Eorzean customs and the myriad of people that inhabit the very nearly feral continent now called home. Thankfully, he's also brought his ambition with him. Kaiten always was a dreamer, a cunning individual that yearned for a bout of greatness. Leaving his homeland behind has finally given him a chance to push at the boundaries of a once-regimented life. That which was forbidden from him back home has little in the way of limits in Eorzea. Old habits die hard, they say. Some old habits have found their way to the bottom of a well where refuse and detritus has been piled high and stacked heavy to ensure that certain habits never return. Kaiten is no conqueror, no. He simply knows what he wishes to have and understands that flexibility is the key to getting certain things done. ♦ AppearanceThere are two things that immediately stand out upon seeing Kaiten. First, he's tall. Very tall. Lanky, too. He's the bearing of someone that's never really going to be overly muscular--though that doesn't stop him from maintaining an athletic, slender physique. Second of all, his skin is a (supposedly unsettling) shade of red. Perhaps lending credence to the thought that Au Ra are descendants of some kind of demon, Kaiten's overall countenance is best described as devilish. Dark red skin is matched with jet black hair both lustrous and flowing, often let free and well-kept along the crests of his horns. Of course, he's known to change it up from time to time. To say he's not vain would be to lie. Kaiten's been called pretty. Kaiten's been called handsome. He's been called many of these things by many people for the majority of his life. Thankfully his ego hasn't risen to ridiculous proportions because of it. Right? ♦ DemeanorCapricious, intelligent, charming, bumbling, aloof. The truth of it is, Kaiten's a person. He's rarely defined by acting any one specific way other than trying to seem like he knows exactly what he's doing and why he's doing it at all times. Generally an affable sort--or at the very least he can seem like it--the man can come off as the type of person that you'd enjoy having on your side of a conflict. It's hard to say that someone that fled a country that burned and immediately made a home for he and his own isn't resourceful to a frightening degree.
♦ OutwardlyHe's incredibly enthusiastic and Aether and Magitek. That's IT THAT'S THE SHOW. ♦ Established Practices♦ For Those of Past Association
♦ For Anyone Else♦ The ShroudHaving appeared rather suddenly with a sackful of gil, Kaiten swiftly purchased a plot of land in the Lavender Beds district. Rather than simply calling it home, he and Chise quickly turned it into a totally legitimate storefront that specializes in the acquisition of magical artifacts and curios as well as alchemical potions and compounds. Despite being refugees, their store has seemingly done relatively well by them. Totally legitimate business. ♦ Ul'dah♦ More Recently ❤ Crush ❤ Platonic Love ❤ Romantic Love ❤ In a relationship ● Good Standing ● Neutral Standing ● Poor Standing
