=== History ===

----
Isabel was born and grew up on her families farm, assisting with the harvesting and planting of La Noscean wheat. When she was four cycles old, her father contracted a fatal illness and passed away, leaving her mother to care for their farm. Isabel grew very close to her mother as she got older, taking up many responsibilities that her dad once had. When she reached the age of 16, she left home for Limsa Lominsa where she enlisted in the Grand Company The Maelstrom where she became a skilled archer and scout.

She was present during the Battle of Carteneau and was presumed missing in action until her arrival in Limsa Lominsa five cycles later.

===Relationships===

====Family====

'''Father''' <br>
'''Bernard Tolen'''<br>
''[Burr-nard Tohl-ehn]''<br>

:Deceased; Her father contracted an illness when she was very young and passed away.

'''Mother''' <br>
'''Primrose Tolen'''<br>
''[Prihm-rohze Tohl-ehn]''<br>

:Alive; She continues to live at Isabel's childhood home in La Noscea, tending to the small farm they own. Isabel and her mother remained close until the Battle of Carteneau at which point her mother ceased to remember who her daughter was due to the time-skip. Upon Isabel's return home, her mother didn't recognize her so she left, distraught and upset. She hasn't spoken to her since she's returned.

'''Sister (Adoptive)''' <br>
'''[[Abaigeal Causland]]'''<br>
''[Ah-bee-gale Kahs-land]''<br>

:While it started as a harmless joke between Abaigeal teasing one of her patrons into thinking Isabel was her sister the two have actually grown quite close. Isabel has since looked to Abaigeal as an older sibling, something she had always desired growing up as an only child. Friends of the two often can hear them refer to each other as "Sis" or "Seester". Isabel enjoys Abai's company and often looks to her for advice when needed. Abaigeal's personality, a complete opposite of Isabel's, has given Isabel the opportunity to recognize traits within herself that she finds undesirable. Abaigeal is proving to be a good role model for Isabel and is helping her become more sociable and fun to be around.

====Friends and acquaintances====

[[Vale Hartstrong]]: It was a chance encounter that she'd meet a youthful blond tellings stories of his adventures within the Adventurer's Guild. It wasn't long before she was a part of his crew aboard The GoldenMyst and again not long before she held affection towards the Sky King. They are now very close, but not in the romantic sense.

[[Jayce Lightfall]]: They met at Soliloquy, by chance, and ended up playing a drinking game together with a few others. They soon began hanging out with each other at the Tavern frequently, sometimes participating in more drinking games, other times just talking about life. They eventually became very close friends. Isabel is thankful for her friendship with Jayce, as he is always willing to lend her an ear, sometimes offering advice, sometimes telling her secrets of his own. She has found that his presence has helped her cope with her drinking problem, another plus of their friendship.

NOTE: This Wiki is always changing and updating!!

<div style="font-size: 10px">('''Abaigeal Causland ''' is a rather playful and flirtatious Highlander Hyur who specializes in swordplay, she is also a fan of daggers and throwing knives in which she incorporates into her dancing. She is always found with a warm smile on her face and bright and sunny disposition that she ebbs and flows onto others around her. She tries to understand and grasp the events of Eorzea through her friends and patrons, though she still misunderstands or is ignorant to some events.)</div>
==<div style="padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-top: 3px; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(43, 93, 9); line-height: 1.3em"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif">'''Appearance'''</span></div>==
:'''Height:''' 6 fulms, 2 ilms - for a Highlander she is one of the tallest females. She usually stands slightly taller than a tall male Midlander and slightly shorter than a short male Elezen.

:'''Weight:''' 145 ponz – She has a dancers build. Muscle tone where expected, a round bottom and a modest amount of breast. She tends to be more muscle then most would assume.

:'''Body:''' Abaigeal is slight of frame and often considered rail-thin, Compared to most of the Highlander race that she takes after on her mother's side. Though this is often deceiving s most of it is solid muscle. Her thighs and calves are well tones from the dancing skill she has acquired. While she is thin she does however have curves in the right places with soft round hips, a modest and perky bust. Her upper arm strength is attributed to the sword handling while dancing as she has to be able to twist and twirl any size blade about. She does however pride herself on her long legs.

:'''Complexion:''' Pale, peaches and cream with tints of rose upon her cheeks. There is a small and light smattering of freckles that cross the bridge of her nose and dissipate gradually under her eyes. She had small scars that have grown faint over the years upon her hands and forearms which are also calloused from working with blades. Her feet are usually calloused and often dirty as she parades about barefoot. At first it was because of lack of affordability. Now it's more a preference as to not hinder her while she dances.

:'''Face:''' Abaigeal's face is youthful with full rosy cheeks, freckles, and full pouty lips. Her eyes are a bright and vibrant emerald green with a dark hunter green rim on the outside. It is often said that if someone looks upon them for long enough they will swear that her eye are smiling themselves. Her ears are pierced three times each: two holes on the bottom of her lobe with silver rings in them. And two conch piercings in the cartilage with silver ear cuffs.

:'''Hair:''' While the color is often described as russet or a deep burgundy, it's often changes color depending on the time of the cycle. While colder times it's darker in nature the warmer seasons its lighter. Still she has the same reddish highlighting. Her hair has been usually worn short with her natural curls causing a state of perpetual bed head. She is constantly debating on whether to grow it out or not. A ruthless battle that it is, of course when it gets to the awkward point she chops it all off. Though, she does have a single braid that hangs down on the right side of her face.

:'''Clothing&&Apparel:''' Abaigeal's fashion is more performance geared. She had several flowing skirts and tops made of chiffons and sheers. The skirts are long full circle skirts that fall to her ankles with high slits up to her hips. Underneath is a pair of small form fitting pair of shorts that appear painted on; if she is not wearing matching dance bottoms. The slits are for access to throwing daggers that are strapped to her thighs when out on excursions. When she is not wearing them the function is dance related and offer gratuitous peeks to her lengthy legs.

:When adventuring which she hasn't done much of she tends to dress practical, for once wearing proper shoes and clothing conducive to actually climbing about and running through who knows what. Though As of late she has found to take a liking to the sword and shield often donning plate armor.

==<div style="padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-top: 3px; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(43, 93, 9); line-height: 1.3em"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif">'''Behaviors'''</span></div>==

:'''Speech&&Accenting:''' Abaigeal has an accent that is noted as foreign by most. She will often replace "I's" with "Ah's" and shorten some words while using "Ye" for "You". Along with her accent she will also use her country's colloquialisms which can often be misinterpreted. The sound of her voice is often cheerful and energetic. Though, it can be sultry when with ones she is intimate with.

:'''Demeanor:''' Abai is drawn to the concept of living life outside the box. She resists being caught up in conventional boundaries and rules, and actively seeks out change for her benefit and often for the benefit of others as a whole. Abai just doesn't sit around hoping for things to come to her. She is more of a go-getter that will do what she can and what she wants. Hence one of the reasons she has left Eri'Lan'.

:She has a bit of a playful jesting streak that causes her to constantly go head to head in a battle of witty retorts. Mostly at [[Soliloquy Tavern]] one can find such banter and back and forth's between her and other patrons. Abai is determined to stand her ground and eventually get you to believe her. If she tells you the sky is Neon yellow by the end of the night you just might thinks so too, unless of course ye took a bad dose of Rocky Chocobo. That also comes from being a true Eri'ish bony lass. She can develop quite the temper and tear you a new one when you least expect it. Something about Eri'ish women and bad tempers, you know hell hath no fury like a woman scorn. Note of advise unless you enjoy getting your head torn off don't piss off the lass.

:Abai does posses a sweet natured side. Her mother bless her soul said it was because she is everyone's sweetheart being born on the start of day of Valentione's Day. She can be the one to let you cry on her shoulder, tell your secrets too. Or hell just enjoy being in her company. She can give you the warm fuzzies.

:'''Quirks&&Ticks:''' She has a strange affinity to walking about barefoot. Twirls her hair around her finger when annoyed or thinking, at least when it's long. When she wears it short she plays with her braid. Abai also tends to make a TSK noise when she doesn't agree with actions or words. She picks at her nails when nervous or thinking of what to say. Stammers and blushes when extremely nervous, flustered, or in the presence of someone she...fancies.

::* '''Father: Killian Causland (50's)'''—Born in one of the City States associated with the Island Clusters off to the North-West. Native folk know it as Eri’lan’. Not well known as outsiders, as they have yet to give it a name or put it on the map. It's got a blend of all sorts much like Eorzea. Its believed that long ago there were quite a few Eorzeans had traveled North-West in expansion to claim the land for Eorzea, only when they arrived they fell in love with the land and the natives it was had to leave. Killian is a good natured man business man who married a young foreign woman who landed off the coast of his village when he was just a young lad of 19 cycles. A striking young woman that towered above him caught his eye and he had never regretted it. He currently still resides in the Island Clusters, only traveling to Eorzea for Merchant trips and to check on Abaigeal.

::* '''Mother: Sabine (Rainer) Causland (Deceased)''' Highlander Hyur that was a part of a nomadic tribe of peoples. A ruthless and almost savage people one would say. While amidst a squirmish with a group of Sea Wolf's that eventually ended on their ship, a storm had struck and set the ship off course to the North-West landing them on a place the natives called Eri'Lan'. Upon landing and waking up from the ship wreckage she found the people had taken a kindness to her and her people. Assisting to the wounded and tending to the weak. The people went as far as to offering their supplies and homes to the taller robust strangers and the remaining Sea Wolf crew. She had met Killian and his family that day, eventually falling for and wedding into his family.

::* '''Brother: Faolan Causland (31)'''—Oldest child of the Causland's. Faolan while five years older than his sister had always felt the need to protect her. While he never really saw her as "sister" he had always seemed to note that she was able to keep up with him and his best friend Ayden. As years went by his need to protect and look after his sister faded as it proved she could do more and more herself; almost becoming more useful and better at things that he was supposed to be good at. While he never showed his jealousy or resentment he often wished that Abaigeal would fall from her pedestal that their father had placed her upon. A month before her 16th birthday, that day would come. He regretted harboring any ill feeling and has strived to at the very least keep in touch with his Sister. He has since married and has produced a daughter. One whose spirit reminds him very much of his beloved sister.

::*'''Sister: [[Isabel Tolen]] -(22) Adoptive''' While it started as a harmless joke between Abaigeal teasing one of her patrons into thinking Isabel was her sister, the two have actually grown quite close. The small joke has since carried over into Abai's mind where she does indeed regard the younger woman as her sibling. Friends of the two often can hear them refer to each other as "Sis" or "Seester". She enjoys her company and hopes that some day Isabel may actually regard Abai as sort of an adoptive sibling of sorts as she has told the lass on many occasions that she is always there is she needs "family".

:'''Given Name:''' Abaigeal Causland '[Ah-bee-gale Kahs-land]': Her first name means “joyful or Joyous”. The name Abaigeal is spelled with the Gaelic pronunciation. The rough form that would have come from her mother’s “Highlander” side is Abigail. Still, the same meaning but with her father’s origin. Her last name has a few interesting meanings. Some believe it's from a derivative of the trade "carpenter". Though others know Causland is more widely known for Northern Eri'Lan', but has been found in some Southern Eri'Lan' linage. The Original origin of the name is unknown though thought to be nomadic people who had migrated about.

:'''Aliases/Nicknames:'''

:::'''Abai:''' The shortened version of her name that started off only being used by family and those she is familiar with. However it is now used at Soliloquy Tavern by her patrons as it's easier to understand slurred. Either way she often feels that most of her patrons that come around regularly are her friends.

:::'''Abs:''' Only Myllor calls her this and gets away with it. Anyone else she will kindly correct and ask to please be called Abai or Abaigeal.

:'''Current Residence:''' [[Soliloquy Tavern]], Limsa Lominsa

::::'''0 -''' ''Joyous is she who was born on the day of Valentiones.''

:::::<spoiler>::<i>"Joyous is she who was born on the day of Valentiones,"</i> was the blessing whispered over the tiny babe quietly sleeping in her mother's loving embrace. She was of soft peaches and cream skin coated with a hint of rose colored blush to her cheeks, chin and nose. Small freckles pepper the newborns face, while thick dark lashes line her lids. A proud father standing over mother and child as a five year old mop headed lad peek up from the side of the covers.

::"She's beautiful...every spitting feature of her Ma." He crooned idly stroking the long and sweat matted locks of the labored woman. "She even has yer peaceful sleeping features..." His smile splitting his features as a large calloused hand gently stroked the babe's cheek.

::"Aye...She is Beautiful...Though I see she has more of her Da...The pert little nose...and the—" She was silenced by a soft kiss that was placed upon her lips. A ghost of mused utterance bubbled from the woman's lips. "Killian...ye keep that up and the two will have a another shortly after..." She jested shifting her arm a bit.

::"Faolan, Meet your sister..." She raised her elbow to as so teh young lad could catch a better glimpse. His brows furrowed with a pout upon his lips. "What's wrong my little Wolf?" She question the boy with a chuckle.

::With a sharp exhale the youth clambered upon the mother's bed crawling closer and gently poking the Sleeping girl's cheek. His brows furrowed again as he finally replied. "Mama...This...is a seester...Ah wanted a brudder..." He woeful sighed again before questioning. "What can Ah do with a lass..." He frowned again as the two parents chuckled rather bemused.

::"Ah me boy...she may look like a doll now...but ye'll see. She'll find a way to bring ye joy—joy..." Killians face light up as he looked to his wife. "Sabine...Ah think Ah have a name..."

::The tired woman quirked a brow. "Oh? You do? You mean I don't get to pick this time?" She chuckled, her slight movements lightly jostling the sleeping bad as so she uttered a soft and peaceful coo. "Oh...we shouldn't wake the wee one..." She whispered.

::"Aye,aye...but her name...Abaigeal...It means—"

::"It means Joyous...or one who brings joy..." Sabine weakly smiled up to husband. "Tis the same back home..." She looked to the little one resting before kissing the top of the red and russet tressed babe. "What do you think Faolan?" She questioned the young lad her gaze rising from her daughter to her son.

::"Ah still think she should be a brudder...And Ah don't know //hooow// she will bring joy." The five year old crossed his arms in a pout before his features soften. A small hand reached out and caught her brothers finger in her sleep. His hazel eyes widen for a moment before a smile crossed his face.

::"Da!! Da!!! She—She touched me first!!!" He beamed brightly as the infant hadn't moved since placed in her mother's arms. "She...er...Aba-..Abai--Abai-ge-al. She touched me!!! Ah'm her favorite!!" he proudly mused and sputtered with excitement.

::"Seems Faolan, will have no problem with a sister..." Sabine cooed reaching her hand up for her husband's.

::"Aye...seems so..." He smiled back taking her hand in his. "Seems that our lit'le lass is also earning her name this namesday..." he mused.
</spoiler>

::::'''5 -''' ''Death of her Mother, A Lass is raised a Lad.''

:::::<spoiler>Abaigeal without her mother was raised along side her brother. Her father having no indication of what young ladies should or shouldn't know raised her as a "second son" of sorts. She grew up sort of tomboyish learning how to do things that was traditionally considered male of the house.</spoiler>

::::''' 7 -''' ''Learning the ways of the house...someone has too.''

:::::<spoiler>Still learning things such as hunting, and fishing she hadn't quiet realized that there was things such as gender roles. Not until a family moved in next door. They had a son her brothers age. The two siblings would often go over to play, however the older woman took a curious interest in her. Wondering why she hadn't quite learned some of the expected "normal" things that young girls usually know by that age. Not that the kinder woman couldn't understand that it was probably more fun to learn how to hunt and skin marmot then to clean and wash clothes. Still feeling she should at least help Killian, Abaigeal was soon learning how to cook and do wash and learn various house mouse chores.</spoiler>

::::'''10 -''' ''Me & My Brother &--& His Friend.''

:::::<spoiler>Ayden. His name was Adyen and he could climb trees faster then Faolan! He was faster at running and better with a bow. But certain not nearly as good with a blade as Abai. The three children were inseparable.Pretending they were adventures going on a grand expedition. Like three peas in a pod. Of course this also the awkward age when Abai stared to realize that boys were...uh...boys. Her attitude would fluctuate between blushy blushy and seeing Ayden as nothing more then a brother.Her first crush ever.</spoiler>

::::'''15 -''' ''A Proposal one //can// refuse.''

:::::<spoiler>Killian had taken a few trips to the homeland of her mother. His travels as a merchant taking hi to new places and meeting new people. Over the years he had developed a relationship with a wealth elezen merchant who happened to have a son about a few cycles ahead of Abai. The two felt it would be great to have a union of trade. The elezen merchant having expand his horizons to the Isle City-States across the water with out having to do the actual work. The only catch would be to ensure that the business deal not go south was to send Abaigeal to be a pawn of business. She would wed their son,and she would become a mindless trapped doll that would be required to learn in the trade and help her "husband" in away possible. Needless to say. It wasn't long after her father had her pack her things. She was thinking she was going to accompany him on this trip just after her fifteenth cycle, only when they reached the pier she learned the truth. Terrified, scared, and with reckless abandon she ran getting swept away by the crowds and finding herself on another ship. It didn't matter where it was going. But where ever it was. It would be her choice. </spoiler>

:'''Name Scheme for Abaigeal and her Family''':
:As when Abaigeal was created , her intended was to be an Irish like hyur. Her speech was to be a replication dialect and lingo of such. Especially with the term “Highlander” for a Clan descriptor. My head immediately took it to “Gaelic Highlander’s” However, with the name scheme info that was released, It seems I lucked out and don’t have to change anything really! Except for finding Germanic-Irish names, which are often associated with Palatine Germans, (Lutheran’s who were prosecuted by the French and driven from Germany to England. Who migrated to Ireland) Anyhow on to explanations!

::'''Abaigeal Causland- (“Joyful or Joyous”)''' The name Abaigeal is spelled with the Gaelic pronunciation. The Germanic form that would have come from her mother’s “Highlander” side is Abigail. Still the same meaning but with her father’s origin

::'''Sabine (Rainer) Causland – (“Tribe of Sabine” “Advice-&-Army”)'''. The name “SABINE” itself is a female Germanic name as well as the surname RAINER. They are referenced to be kind of brute force and tribal with names that instill fear or are graphic. While SABINE is the name of an actual nomadic tribe that existed throughout Europe, it seemed appropriate.

:::Rainer- Is name that can be interpreted as “Wise Army” Or “Army Adviser” Which fits with the powerful connotation that is supposed to be shown in the “HIGHLANDER” name scheme. It’s origin is also Palatine, but leans more towards Germanic.

::'''Killian Causland (“Associated with Church” “[absolom] Peace”)'''. This is the Huge tying in factor to the whole name scheme of tying Irish and German names together to create Abaigeal. Killian or Cillian means “associated with the Church” and comes from A missionary that traveled across Europe and about the Rhines. The Rhines is where the Palatine people had roughly originated.

:::The name Causland is more widely known for Scottish, but has been found in some Irish linage. The Original origin of the name is unknown though thought to be nomadic people who had migrated from Europe.

::'''Faolan Causland –("Wolf" or "Follower of the Warrior")''' It seemed like something a Highlander would name their son but incorporates “Eri’lan’” naming.

:'''Name/Alias:''' Elle/Lauren or you can call me Abai.

=== History ===

----
Isabel was born and grew up on her families farm, assisting with the harvesting and planting of La Noscean wheat. When she was four cycles old, her father contracted a fatal illness and passed away, leaving her mother to care for their farm. Isabel grew very close to her mother as she got older, taking up many responsibilities that her dad once had. When she reached the age of 16, she left home for Limsa Lominsa where she enlisted in the Grand Company The Maelstrom where she became a skilled archer and scout.

She was present during the Battle of Carteneau and was presumed missing in action until her arrival in Limsa Lominsa five cycles later.

===Relationships===

====Family====

'''Father''' <br>
'''Bernard Tolen'''<br>
''[Burr-nard Tohl-ehn]''<br>

:Deceased; Her father contracted an illness when she was very young and passed away.

'''Mother''' <br>
'''Primrose Tolen '''<br>
''[Prihm-rohze Tohl-ehn]''<br>

:Alive; She continues to live at Isabel's childhood home in La Noscea, tending to the small farm they own. Isabel and her mother remained close until the Battle of Carteneau at which point her mother ceased to remember who her daughter was due to the time-skip. Upon Isabel's return home, her mother didn't recognize her so she left, distraught and upset. She hasn't spoken to her since she's returned.

====Friends and acquaintances====

[[Vale Hartstrong]]: It was a chance encounter that she'd meet a youthful blond tellings stories of his adventures within the Adventurer's Guild. It wasn't long before she was a part of his crew aboard The GoldenMyst and again not long before she held affection towards the Sky King. They are now very close, but not in the romantic sense.

[[Jayce Lightfall]]: They met at Soliloquy, by chance, and ended up playing a drinking game together with a few others. They soon began hanging out with each other at the Tavern frequently, sometimes participating in more drinking games, other times just talking about life. They eventually became very close friends. Isabel is thankful for her friendship with Jayce, as he is always willing to lend her an ear, sometimes offering advice, sometimes telling her secrets of his own. She has found that his presence has helped her cope with her drinking problem, another plus of their friendship.

==Location & Description==
<blockquote>''<big>O</big>n the southern isles of Limsa, Soliloquy Tavern is snuggled amongst the warehouses and wards. In fact, the inside resembles an old market ward, gutted and refurbished with a bar to one side and a stage to the other. Large, round tables are scattered between, save for a cleared area in the center. The whole place is draped in red silks and satins. A bartender busies themselves at the bar top cleaning glasses, ready for any incoming orders, while a dancing duo, one a Miqo'te woman and one a Hyur lass, whirl gracefully around each other on stage...''</blockquote>

:Currently, Soliloquy is located in the Limsa Lominsa, though once we secure housing for a in-game tavern, we'll be moving the location to Mist. We plan on using the tavern in Wineport as a setting placeholder until we can get player housing. (Note: we by no means mean to claim the Wineport bar location as our own and do not intend to try and shoulder other groups out if we find them RPing there first. We ask that when we RP there that everyone understand and makes it clear to others that we are simply using the location as a placeholder and that we are not actually in Wineport itself. We understand this might come off as a little confusing, but please bear with us. Thank you!)

==History==
:Soliloquy began as an idea bouncing around between a group of friends. They had big plans in the beginning, a theater troupe and a play to start them all off, but when no one stepped up to take on the role of leader, they let the idea drift off into oblivion for a while.

:Enter Xenedra Ambreaus, freshly free from the disbanded Eorzean Guard and bored out of her mind. With her feather duster of revitalization, she dusted clean the idea she and her friends had had all those months before and began to take steps toward actually bringing the concept to life. With the help of one of the aforementioned friends, Myllor Aurelion, she was able to purchase a long abandoned building in the Ward District of Limsa Lominsa and began the process of gutting the cobweb farm and building it anew. (Special thanks to Gospel Gestalt: carpenter and Endemerrin Rosethorne: electrician!)

:In what seemed like no time, her work was finished and the grand opening came and went. However, not long after, the red ball of death in the sky, Dalamud, started to become an ever closer looming threat. Literally. As a member of Limsa Lominsa's Maelstrom Company, Xenedra was constantly pulled away from the tavern and so the doors were closed not long after they were opened. Then, during the doomed Battle of Carteneau she and many others disappeared, presumed killed by Bahamut's Mega Flare.

:This left the tavern in the sole ownership of Myllor. Rather than liquidate it and its assets to make back his investment, however, he chose to reopen and run the tavern in Xenedra's memory. For the past five years, with the help of Xenedra's hired bar wench, Abaigeal Causland, Myllor has kept Soliloquy going. Recently, with the return of Xenedra (and the other missing Grand Company members), activity at the tavern has picked up once more and the dream is once again on the rise.

<div style="font-size: 10px">('''Abaigeal Causland ''' is a rather playful and flirtatious Highlander Hyur who specializes in swordplay, she is also a fan of daggers and throwing knives in which she incorporates into her dancing. She is always found with a warm smile on her face and bright and sunny disposition that she ebbs and flows onto others around her. She tries to understand and grasp the events of Eorzea through her friends and patrons, though she still misunderstands or is ignorant to some events.)</div>
==<div style="padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-top: 3px; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(43, 93, 9); line-height: 1.3em"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif">'''Appearance'''</span></div>==
:'''Height:''' 6 fulms, 2 ilms - for a Highlander she is one of the tallest females. She usually stands slightly taller than a tall male Midlander and slightly shorter than a short male Elezen.

:'''Weight:''' 145 ponz – She has a dancers build. Muscle tone where expected, a round bottom and a modest amount of breast. She tends to be more muscle then most would assume.

:'''Body:''' Abaigeal is slight of frame and often considered rail-thin, Compared to most of the Highlander race that she takes after on her mother's side. Though this is often deceiving s most of it is solid muscle. Her thighs and calves are well tones from the dancing skill she has acquired. While she is thin she does however have curves in the right places with soft round hips, a modest and perky bust. Her upper arm strength is attributed to the sword handling while dancing as she has to be able to twist and twirl any size blade about. She does however pride herself on her long legs.

:'''Complexion:''' Pale, peaches and cream with tints of rose upon her cheeks. There is a small and light smattering of freckles that cross the bridge of her nose and dissipate gradually under her eyes. She had small scars that have grown faint over the years upon her hands and forearms which are also calloused from working with blades. Her feet are usually calloused and often dirty as she parades about barefoot. At first it was because of lack of affordability. Now it's more a preference as to not hinder her while she dances.

:'''Face:''' Abaigeal's face is youthful with full rosy cheeks, freckles, and full pouty lips. Her eyes are a bright and vibrant emerald green with a dark hunter green rim on the outside. It is often said that if someone looks upon them for long enough they will swear that her eye are smiling themselves. Her ears are pierced three times each: two holes on the bottom of her lobe with silver rings in them. And two conch piercings in the cartilage with silver ear cuffs.

:'''Hair:''' While the color is often described as russet or a deep burgundy, it's often changes color depending on the time of the cycle. While colder times it's darker in nature the warmer seasons its lighter. Still she has the same reddish highlighting. Her hair has been usually worn short with her natural curls causing a state of perpetual bed head. She is constantly debating on whether to grow it out or not. A ruthless battle that it is, of course when it gets to the awkward point she chops it all off. Though, she does have a single braid that hangs down on the right side of her face.

:'''Clothing&&Apparel:''' Abaigeal's fashion is more performance geared. She had several flowing skirts and tops made of chiffons and sheers. The skirts are long full circle skirts that fall to her ankles with high slits up to her hips. Underneath is a pair of small form fitting pair of shorts that appear painted on; if she is not wearing matching dance bottoms. The slits are for access to throwing daggers that are strapped to her thighs when out on excursions. When she is not wearing them the function is dance related and offer gratuitous peeks to her lengthy legs.

:When adventuring which she hasn't done much of she tends to dress practical, for once wearing proper shoes and clothing conducive to actually climbing about and running through who knows what. Though As of late she has found to take a liking to the sword and shield often donning plate armor.

==<div style="padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-top: 3px; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(43, 93, 9); line-height: 1.3em"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif">'''Behaviors'''</span></div>==

:'''Speech&&Accenting:''' Abaigeal has an accent that is noted as foreign by most. She will often replace "I's" with "Ah's" and shorten some words while using "Ye" for "You". Along with her accent she will also use her country's colloquialisms which can often be misinterpreted. The sound of her voice is often cheerful and energetic. Though, it can be sultry when with ones she is intimate with.

:'''Demeanor:''' Abai is drawn to the concept of living life outside the box. She resists being caught up in conventional boundaries and rules, and actively seeks out change for her benefit and often for the benefit of others as a whole. Abai just doesn't sit around hoping for things to come to her. She is more of a go-getter that will do what she can and what she wants. Hence one of the reasons she has left Eri'Lan'.

:She has a bit of a playful jesting streak that causes her to constantly go head to head in a battle of witty retorts. Mostly at [[Soliloquy Tavern]] one can find such banter and back and forth's between her and other patrons. Abai is determined to stand her ground and eventually get you to believe her. If she tells you the sky is Neon yellow by the end of the night you just might thinks so too, unless of course ye took a bad dose of Rocky Chocobo. That also comes from being a true Eri'ish bony lass. She can develop quite the temper and tear you a new one when you least expect it. Something about Eri'ish women and bad tempers, you know hell hath no fury like a woman scorn. Note of advise unless you enjoy getting your head torn off don't piss off the lass.

:Abai does posses a sweet natured side. Her mother bless her soul said it was because she is everyone's sweetheart being born on the start of day of Valentione's Day. She can be the one to let you cry on her shoulder, tell your secrets too. Or hell just enjoy being in her company. She can give you the warm fuzzies.

:'''Quirks&&Ticks:''' She has a strange affinity to walking about barefoot. Twirls her hair around her finger when annoyed or thinking, at least when it's long. When she wears it short she plays with her braid. Abai also tends to make a TSK noise when she doesn't agree with actions or words. She picks at her nails when nervous or thinking of what to say. Stammers and blushes when extremely nervous, flustered, or in the presence of someone she...fancies.

::* '''Father: Killian Causland (50's)'''—Born in one of the City States associated with the Island Clusters off to the North-West. Native folk know it as Eri’lan’. Not well known as outsiders, as they have yet to give it a name or put it on the map. It's got a blend of all sorts much like Eorzea. Its believed that long ago there were quite a few Eorzeans had traveled North-West in expansion to claim the land for Eorzea, only when they arrived they fell in love with the land and the natives it was had to leave. Killian is a good natured man business man who married a young foreign woman who landed off the coast of his village when he was just a young lad of 19 cycles. A striking young woman that towered above him caught his eye and he had never regretted it. He currently still resides in the Island Clusters, only traveling to Eorzea for Merchant trips and to check on Abaigeal.

::* '''Mother: Sabine (Rainer) Causland (Deceased)''' Highlander Hyur that was a part of a nomadic tribe of peoples. A ruthless and almost savage people one would say. While amidst a squirmish with a group of Sea Wolf's that eventually ended on their ship, a storm had struck and set the ship off course to the North-West landing them on a place the natives called Eri'Lan'. Upon landing and waking up from the ship wreckage she found the people had taken a kindness to her and her people. Assisting to the wounded and tending to the weak. The people went as far as to offering their supplies and homes to the taller robust strangers and the remaining Sea Wolf crew. She had met Killian and his family that day, eventually falling for and wedding into his family.

::* '''Brother: Faolan Causland (31)'''—Oldest child of the Causland's. Faolan while five years older than his sister had always felt the need to protect her. While he never really saw her as "sister" he had always seemed to note that she was able to keep up with him and his best friend Ayden. As years went by his need to protect and look after his sister faded as it proved she could do more and more herself; almost becoming more useful and better at things that he was supposed to be good at. While he never showed his jealousy or resentment he often wished that Abaigeal would fall from her pedestal that their father had placed her upon. A month before her 16th birthday, that day would come. He regretted harboring any ill feeling and has strived to at the very least keep in touch with his Sister. He has since married and has produced a daughter. One whose spirit reminds him very much of his beloved sister.

:'''Given Name:''' Abaigeal Causland '[Ah-bee-gale Kahs-land]': Her first name means “joyful or Joyous”. The name Abaigeal is spelled with the Gaelic pronunciation. The rough form that would have come from her mother’s “Highlander” side is Abigail. Still, the same meaning but with her father’s origin. Her last name has a few interesting meanings. Some believe it's from a derivative of the trade "carpenter". Though others know Causland is more widely known for Northern Eri'Lan', but has been found in some Southern Eri'Lan' linage. The Original origin of the name is unknown though thought to be nomadic people who had migrated about.

:'''Aliases/Nicknames:'''

:::'''Abai:''' The shortened version of her name that started off only being used by family and those she is familiar with. However it is now used at Soliloquy Tavern by her patrons as it's easier to understand slurred. Either way she often feels that most of her patrons that come around regularly are her friends.

:::'''Abs:''' Only Myllor calls her this and gets away with it. Anyone else she will kindly correct and ask to please be called Abai or Abaigeal.

::::'''0 -''' ''Joyous is she who was born on the day of Valentiones.''

:::::<spoiler>::<i>"Joyous is she who was born on the day of Valentiones,"</i> was the blessing whispered over the tiny babe quietly sleeping in her mother's loving embrace. She was of soft peaches and cream skin coated with a hint of rose colored blush to her cheeks, chin and nose. Small freckles pepper the newborns face, while thick dark lashes line her lids. A proud father standing over mother and child as a five year old mop headed lad peek up from the side of the covers.

::"She's beautiful...every spitting feature of her Ma." He crooned idly stroking the long and sweat matted locks of the labored woman. "She even has yer peaceful sleeping features..." His smile splitting his features as a large calloused hand gently stroked the babe's cheek.

::"Aye...She is Beautiful...Though I see she has more of her Da...The pert little nose...and the—" She was silenced by a soft kiss that was placed upon her lips. A ghost of mused utterance bubbled from the woman's lips. "Killian...ye keep that up and the two will have a another shortly after..." She jested shifting her arm a bit.

::"Faolan, Meet your sister..." She raised her elbow to as so teh young lad could catch a better glimpse. His brows furrowed with a pout upon his lips. "What's wrong my little Wolf?" She question the boy with a chuckle.

::With a sharp exhale the youth clambered upon the mother's bed crawling closer and gently poking the Sleeping girl's cheek. His brows furrowed again as he finally replied. "Mama...This...is a seester...Ah wanted a brudder..." He woeful sighed again before questioning. "What can Ah do with a lass..." He frowned again as the two parents chuckled rather bemused.

::"Ah me boy...she may look like a doll now...but ye'll see. She'll find a way to bring ye joy—joy..." Killians face light up as he looked to his wife. "Sabine...Ah think Ah have a name..."

::The tired woman quirked a brow. "Oh? You do? You mean I don't get to pick this time?" She chuckled, her slight movements lightly jostling the sleeping bad as so she uttered a soft and peaceful coo. "Oh...we shouldn't wake the wee one..." She whispered.

::"Aye,aye...but her name...Abaigeal...It means—"

::"It means Joyous...or one who brings joy..." Sabine weakly smiled up to husband. "Tis the same back home..." She looked to the little one resting before kissing the top of the red and russet tressed babe. "What do you think Faolan?" She questioned the young lad her gaze rising from her daughter to her son.

::"Ah still think she should be a brudder...And Ah don't know //hooow// she will bring joy." The five year old crossed his arms in a pout before his features soften. A small hand reached out and caught her brothers finger in her sleep. His hazel eyes widen for a moment before a smile crossed his face.

::"Da!! Da!!! She—She touched me first!!!" He beamed brightly as the infant hadn't moved since placed in her mother's arms. "She...er...Aba-..Abai--Abai-ge-al. She touched me!!! Ah'm her favorite!!" he proudly mused and sputtered with excitement.

::"Seems Faolan, will have no problem with a sister..." Sabine cooed reaching her hand up for her husband's.

::"Aye...seems so..." He smiled back taking her hand in his. "Seems that our lit'le lass is also earning her name this namesday..." he mused.
</spoiler>

::::'''5 -''' ''Death of her Mother, A Lass is raised a Lad.''

:::::<spoiler>Abaigeal without her mother was raised along side her brother. Her father having no indication of what young ladies should or shouldn't know raised her as a "second son" of sorts. She grew up sort of tomboyish learning how to do things that was traditionally considered male of the house.</spoiler>

::::''' 7 -''' ''Learning the ways of the house...someone has too.''

:::::<spoiler>Still learning things such as hunting, and fishing she hadn't quiet realized that there was things such as gender roles. Not until a family moved in next door. They had a son her brothers age. The two siblings would often go over to play, however the older woman took a curious interest in her. Wondering why she hadn't quite learned some of the expected "normal" things that young girls usually know by that age. Not that the kinder woman couldn't understand that it was probably more fun to learn how to hunt and skin marmot then to clean and wash clothes. Still feeling she should at least help Killian, Abaigeal was soon learning how to cook and do wash and learn various house mouse chores.</spoiler>

::::'''10 -''' ''Me & My Brother &--& His Friend.''

:::::<spoiler>Ayden. His name was Adyen and he could climb trees faster then Faolan! He was faster at running and better with a bow. But certain not nearly as good with a blade as Abai. The three children were inseparable.Pretending they were adventures going on a grand expedition. Like three peas in a pod. Of course this also the awkward age when Abai stared to realize that boys were...uh...boys. Her attitude would fluctuate between blushy blushy and seeing Ayden as nothing more then a brother.Her first crush ever.</spoiler>

::::'''15 -''' ''A Proposal one //can// refuse.''

:::::<spoiler>Killian had taken a few trips to the homeland of her mother. His travels as a merchant taking hi to new places and meeting new people. Over the years he had developed a relationship with a wealth elezen merchant who happened to have a son about a few cycles ahead of Abai. The two felt it would be great to have a union of trade. The elezen merchant having expand his horizons to the Isle City-States across the water with out having to do the actual work. The only catch would be to ensure that the business deal not go south was to send Abaigeal to be a pawn of business. She would wed their son,and she would become a mindless trapped doll that would be required to learn in the trade and help her "husband" in away possible. Needless to say. It wasn't long after her father had her pack her things. She was thinking she was going to accompany him on this trip just after her fifteenth cycle, only when they reached the pier she learned the truth. Terrified, scared, and with reckless abandon she ran getting swept away by the crowds and finding herself on another ship. It didn't matter where it was going. But where ever it was. It would be her choice. </spoiler>

:'''Name Scheme for Abaigeal and her Family''':
:As when Abaigeal was created , her intended was to be an Irish like hyur. Her speech was to be a replication dialect and lingo of such. Especially with the term “Highlander” for a Clan descriptor. My head immediately took it to “Gaelic Highlander’s” However, with the name scheme info that was released, It seems I lucked out and don’t have to change anything really! Except for finding Germanic-Irish names, which are often associated with Palatine Germans, (Lutheran’s who were prosecuted by the French and driven from Germany to England. Who migrated to Ireland) Anyhow on to explanations!

::'''Abaigeal Causland- (“Joyful or Joyous”)''' The name Abaigeal is spelled with the Gaelic pronunciation. The Germanic form that would have come from her mother’s “Highlander” side is Abigail. Still the same meaning but with her father’s origin

::'''Sabine (Rainer) Causland – (“Tribe of Sabine” “Advice-&-Army”)'''. The name “SABINE” itself is a female Germanic name as well as the surname RAINER. They are referenced to be kind of brute force and tribal with names that instill fear or are graphic. While SABINE is the name of an actual nomadic tribe that existed throughout Europe, it seemed appropriate.

:::Rainer- Is name that can be interpreted as “Wise Army” Or “Army Adviser” Which fits with the powerful connotation that is supposed to be shown in the “HIGHLANDER” name scheme. It’s origin is also Palatine, but leans more towards Germanic.

::'''Killian Causland (“Associated with Church” “[absolom] Peace”)'''. This is the Huge tying in factor to the whole name scheme of tying Irish and German names together to create Abaigeal. Killian or Cillian means “associated with the Church” and comes from A missionary that traveled across Europe and about the Rhines. The Rhines is where the Palatine people had roughly originated.

:::The name Causland is more widely known for Scottish, but has been found in some Irish linage. The Original origin of the name is unknown though thought to be nomadic people who had migrated from Europe.

::'''Faolan Causland –("Wolf" or "Follower of the Warrior")''' It seemed like something a Highlander would name their son but incorporates “Eri’lan’” naming.

:'''Name/Alias:''' Elle/Lauren or you can call me Abai.

=== History ===

----
Isabel was born and grew up on her families farm, assisting with the harvesting and planting of La Noscean wheat. When she was four cycles old, her father contracted a fatal illness and passed away, leaving her mother to care for their farm. Isabel grew very close to her mother as she got older, taking up many responsibilities that her dad once had. When she reached the age of 16, she left home for Limsa Lominsa where she enlisted in the Grand Company The Maelstrom where she became a skilled archer and scout.

She was present during the Battle of Carteneau and was presumed missing in action until her arrival in Limsa Lominsa five cycles later.

===Relationships===

====Family====

'''Father''' <br>
'''Bernard Tolen'''<br>
''[Burr-nard Tohl-ehn]''<br>

:Deceased; Her father contracted an illness when she was very young and passed away.

'''Mother''' <br>
'''Primrose Tolen '''<br>
''[Prihm-rohze Tohl-ehn]''<br>

:Alive; She continues to live at Isabel's childhood home in La Noscea, tending to the small farm they own. Isabel and her mother remained close until the Battle of Carteneau at which point her mother ceased to remember who her daughter was due to the time-skip. Upon Isabel's return home, her mother didn't recognize her so she left, distraught and upset. She hasn't spoken to her since she's returned.

====Friends and acquaintances====

[[Vale Hartstrong]]: It was a chance encounter that she'd meet a youthful blond tellings stories of his adventures within the Adventurer's Guild. It wasn't long before she was a part of his crew aboard The GoldenMyst and again not long before she held affection towards the Sky King. They are now very close, but not in the romantic sense.

[[Jayce Lightfall]]: They met at Soliloquy, by chance, and ended up playing a drinking game together with a few others. They soon began hanging out with each other at the Tavern frequently, sometimes participating in more drinking games, other times just talking about life. They eventually became very close friends. Isabel is thankful for her friendship with Jayce, as he is always willing to lend her an ear, sometimes offering advice, sometimes telling her secrets of his own. She has found that his presence has helped her cope with her drinking problem, another plus of their friendship.

=== History ===

----
Isabel was born and grew up on her families farm, assisting with the harvesting and planting of La Noscean wheat. When she was four cycles old, her father contracted a fatal illness and passed away, leaving her mother to care for their farm. Isabel grew very close to her mother as she got older, taking up many responsibilities that her dad once had. When she reached the age of 16, she left home for Limsa Lominsa where she enlisted in the Grand Company The Maelstrom where she became a skilled archer and scout.

She was present during the Battle of Carteneau and was presumed missing in action until her arrival in Limsa Lominsa five cycles later.

:Alive; She continues to live at Isabel's childhood home in La Noscea, tending to the small farm they own. Isabel and her mother remained close until the Battle of Carteneau at which point her mother ceased to remember who her daughter was due to the time-skip. Upon Isabel's return home, her mother didn't recognize her so she left, distraught and upset. She hasn't spoken to her since she's returned.

====Friends and acquaintances====

[[Vale Hartstrong]]: It was a chance encounter that she'd meet a youthful blond tellings stories of his adventures within the Adventurer's Guild. It wasn't long before she was a part of his crew aboard The GoldenMyst and again not long before she held affection towards the Sky King. They are now very close, but not in the romantic sense.

[[Jayce Lightfall]]: They met at Soliloquy, by chance, and ended up playing a drinking game together with a few others. They soon began hanging out with each other at the Tavern frequently, sometimes participating in more drinking games, other times just talking about life. They eventually became very close friends. Isabel is thankful for her friendship with Jayce, as he is always willing to lend her an ear, sometimes offering advice, sometimes telling her secrets of his own. She has found that his presence has helped her cope with her drinking problem, another plus of their friendship.

'''Given name:''' Nahue Tanner
:His given name was given to him by his biological parents, his surname was given to him when he was adopted by Ivan Tanner. His first name doesn't follow typical Seekers naming conventions if only due to Ivan's spelling of it throughout Nahue's life.

'''Pronunciation:''' ''[Na-way Tan-Er]''

'''Nicknames/Aliases:'''<br>
:''Nahu'' - A nickname given to him by close friends and family. <br>
:''Naha'' - Given to him by Ithki, Manari's child. <br>

'''Nameday:''' 11th Sun of the 2nd Astral Moon (3/11)

'''Age:''' 20 cycles.

'''Place of birth:''' Unknown.

'''Current residence:''' Gridania.

'''Home City:''' Limsa Lominsa.

'''Grand Company Allegiance:''' N/A

'''Employment:''' He owns his own workshop in Gridania.

'''Marital Status:''' Seeing someone.

'''Religion/philosophy:''' Being raised by a man of science, Byregot the Builder was always an influence in his life. Him and his father frequently pay their respects to him, as he guides their foray into the scientific field.

'''Laterality:''' Left-handed.

==== Abilities ====

*Conjurer - Nahue's biological parents were very adept at healing magicks, and he was gifted with some abilities in that area. Ivan has pushed him to pursue this art, after noticing he had a natural ability with conjury. While he grasps the concepts, he doesn't quite understand it. He isn't much of a fighter, so the instances in where he can practice it is very slim. As such, he is still very inexperienced in this field.

*Alchemist - From a young age, his father took him out to gather herbs and reagents, learning the various types and their properties. As he grew, his father teached him how to transmogrify, brew, concoct and create wonderful things. It always fascinated him, and he found he had a knack for it. Nahue has spent many cycles developing and perfecting his talent, using much of his spare time to experiment.

*Mechanician/Magitek Engineer - Another trade taught by Ivan as Nahue grew up. Nahue has always loved working on things, disassembling them, figuring out how things work, whether it is a simple pulley system, or a complex engine. His desire to learn more has always been difficult, with the taboo around magitek. He has had to learn many things in secret, often in his father's basement. Even with the risk of being caught, Nahue and his father have always enjoyed exploring the intricacies of magitek and machines in general.

*Scrapper (Pugilist) - Nahue has never been a fighter, using it only in self-defense. His abilities are very novice, as he is mostly self-taught. He tends to use whatever is around him as a weapon, or a distraction. On most occasions, he will use a wrench from his tool belt. His technique is sloppy, and unbalanced.

====Weaknesses====

*Nahue is dyslexic, and as a result, he never bothered to learn how to read. This will often get him lost when exploring, as he can't read signs for directions. He has to memorize landmarks and specific areas for navigation. This has also made learning difficult, as he has to have hands on experience, rather than reading a book to obtain knowledge or information.<br>
*Trusting of others, almost to a fault. He will confide in someone completely and utterly before getting to know them as well as he should. Because of this, he often gets his hopes up very easily for things, and it hits him much harder when things don't go as planned.<br>

==== Appearance ====

'''Height:''' 5 fulms 8 ilms.

'''Weight:''' ~135 ponz.

'''Body:''' Slender yet toned.

'''Hair:''' Silver with platinum highlights. Scruffy.

'''Eyes:''' Silver.

'''Skin:''' Light Chocolate

'''Scars/Markings:''' Where his right arm used to be is now a stump. There is a large scar on his upper arm where it was severed. In public, he uses a prosthetic, wearing his overcoat and a glove to hide the injury.

'''Clothes:''' Standard clothes for a mechanic. Usually just overalls, a pair of work boots, gloves, and goggles.

'''Voice:''' Soft, but warm. Easy on the ears. He will often shorten words in speech, combine words that normally aren't used together, and use slang.

==== Personality ====

'''Demeanor:'''<br>
:Nahue is a warm and friendly individual when with someone he knows. When he is around strangers or large groups of people he is very shy, rigid and introverted. He will keep to himself and stick to observing unless spoken to. He is a very curious person, often asking many questions and being nosy. Because of this, he may come off as annoying at times, but his intentions are always good.

'''Emotions:'''<br>
:He is almost always smiling, goofing off, and generally being happy. He carries an optimistic outlook on life. He tends to stay calm in most situations, rarely getting angry or upset. If he is, he usually keeps it to himself.

'''Intelligence:'''<br>
:He loves learning new things, very intellectual. He thinks before he speaks. Not very street-smart, but he is learning. As a dyslexic, he never bothered to learn how to read, as it was something that was difficult for him to do. As a result, everything he has learned has been from hands on experience or taught from his father. He loves to experiment on things and tinker with them to learn how the world works and behaves. Because of his learning disability, he has become very observant of the world around him, picking up on things that others usually wouldn't. He has used this to his advantage, learning vicariously through other people's experiences in fields that interest him. Even though he is unable to read and write, he is able to speak fluent Eorzean.

'''Quirks:'''<br>
:When Nahue is embarassed or experiences a moment of awkwardness, he will often stutter.
:When happy or excited, his tail will wiggle or wag. He often hides his tail in his overalls to prevent others from noticing.

'''Alignment:''' [http://www.easydamus.com/trueneutral.html True Neutral]

=== History ===

----
Until the age of 3, he traveled with his birth parents and the rest of his clan by caravan throughout Eorzea. However, one day he decided to wander off and explore on his own. He ended up getting lost and eventually found himself running into a peculiar Hyur by the name of Ivan Tanner. The kind old man took him and raised him as his own.

Ivan is a mechanic and an alchemist by trade, so naturally he apprenticed under him. He quickly developed a love for tools, machinery, gears and gadgets. Anytime his father brought something home, they would spend hours tinkering with it, learning how it works and how to make it work even better than before.

Prior to the Calamity, his father owned a little alchemist/mechanic shop in Limsa Lominsa. He is currently living in Gridania with his mate, [[Manari Onai]], where he runs his own shop in the local marketplace.

<center>
====Pre-Calamity====
<spoiler>Nahue walked through the dark alleys of Limsa Lominsa, Dalamud shining brightly overhead. He wore an overcoat that night, a dark cloak and hood underneath. He carried himself well, a small cadence to his step as his boots scraped against the cobblestone. He slid his hood over his head, concealing his face from view. He had dealt with these men before, but nothing of this size. A dead drop, as usual. It was the safest thing for him and his father. He couldn't risk it otherwise. This was definitely something that would get them both killed.

The terms of the arrangement had already been established the week prior. Tonight, it was setting up the delivery. The item in question was currently sitting in the basement of his father's shop. Not the best place to store something of this kind, but it was the only place he could think of at the time. Getting it to the dead drop location would be another matter entirely. He shook that thought from his head, "One step at a time," he thought. Right now, he needed to drop off the note that would let them know where he was leaving the item in question.

His pace quickened as the wind picked up. It was a chilly night, and with the ocean winds, it hit straight to the bone. He approached the drop location, sliding the note between two wooden boards, looking for a moment before pulling out a small envelope hidden underneath. The location in general was well hidden, and the drop spot wouldn't be noticeable at first glance, only to those who actively looked for something there would see it. He exhaled sharply, returning to his father's shop while opening the envelope. The first half of the payment was inside, the other half to be designated after they get the item. "Time to get it," he thought as he briskly walked back through the alleyways. A thought did cross his mind however, taking the first half of the payment and skipping town, though, that'd put his father in danger, and they'd surely track him down. Not a good idea by any means.

Nahue arrived at the shop shortly thereafter, heading down in the basement where it resided. He glanced at the large object, hidden under a tarp. He grabbed one end of the cloth, pulling it away slowly. As the tarp fell away, it revealed the waist and legs of a large magitek mech. Nahue had been working on it for awhile, attempting to make it work without the chassis, to no avail. His buyer might have better luck, but with Dalamud approaching, he thought it'd be better to sell the thing and make off with the profits rather than leaving it to rust. He smirked as he gave the machine a final once over, remembering when he had found the thing.

It was only a couple months ago, he was out in La Noscea, scavenging for anything of use for his father's business. He had just climbed up a small rock formation when he had seen smoke rising from the air. Curiousity got the better of him and he quickly rushed over to see what had caused it. To his surprise, it was the wreckage of the mech, surrounded by dead Garlean soldiers. He didn't know what happened to them, nor did he care to. He quickly put out the smoke so no one would discover him, or this piece of tech. A rarity to be sure, a very very illegal one at that. There was no way he'd leave this out here.

He did his best, using nearby tree branches to cover it up before heading off to the nearest camp. Luckily, he was able to find a merchant selling some wares. A few things purchased; a tarp, a wooden board, and a hefty length of rope. After making it back to the wreckage, he laid the wooden board on the ground, and with a bit of science, he managed to prop up the mech on the board using the rope and gravity. He then fastened the mech to the wood, secured it under the tarp, and began pulling. It only took him seven or eight hours to reach Limsa, a lot faster than he thought it would take. By then, he was under the cover of nightfall and easily able to drag it into the city and to the shop.

He grinned as he looked at it, a good memory. He sighed, pulling the tarp back over the magitek, securing it with rope once more. This time he thought ahead, making sure to secure a caravan for that evening. The caravan had already pulled up beside the shop, near the basement door, ready for the pickup. He walked outside, giving a nod to the driver. A friend of his fathers, a trustworthy one at that. They worked together to get the bundled up piece of machinery into the back of the caravan, of which only took 20 minutes. He smiled, giving the driver a handshake, hopping in to the back of the caravan.

"Tha usual place Nahu?" The man grunted from the front of the wagon.
Nahu whispered, "Aye...Thanks once more for this Gayle."
The old man shrugged, "Leas' I could do for Ivan's son."

Gayle, was one of Ivan's oldest friends, always willing to help out his family as needed, and Nahue was no exception. Gayle had done a few runs like this with Nahu, helping out the Tanners whenever needed, and it wasn't without due compensation either. Nahue would make sure of that, especially with this drop.

They headed off, out of Limsa to the spot designated by Nahue where the magitek would be dropped off. Nahue and Gayle loaded the machine off the wagon, near a cliffside, not noticeable from the road. He opened his envelope and poured the contents into his hands; a hefty amount of gil. He tossed Gayle one of the smaller coins and nodded, "I'll walk back." The man nodded in return, heading back to his wagon and driving off back to Limsa.

Nahue looked around the area where the treasure lay, trying to find a spot to hide. He saw a nice outcropping of rocks just atop the cliffside, only about seven feet up too, an easy climb. He gracefully grabbed a hold of the formation, scaling it with ease. Slowly he moved to the rocks, kneeling down to hide. Here he would wait for the men to pick up their prize, here he would wait for the rest of his money..

Nahue didn't mind the two hour wait ahead of him. There wasn't a cloud in the sky; every single star was crisp and bright, minus the ones near Dalamud. He enjoyed the moonlight, it was peaceful and calm that night, with only an odd bird chirp or two throughout the night. He took a deep breath and exhaled, relaxing, waiting in anticipation for the men to arrive. He had a feeling that the other party wouldn't hold up their end of the bargain, first payment or not. These were the types to pay you, get what they want, then kill you and take their money back. "Not this time," Nahu thought. His ears perked up towards some voices in the distance, "That must be them," he thought once more. He fidgeted, waiting to see them appear from the darkness. There were two men, wheeling a caravan of their own, torches in their hands. Odd thing to see, when you are someone who doesn't want to get noticed. He shrugged to himself, waiting for them to approach.

"Ya fink tha' lad'll actually believe 'e's getten' his money?" One of the men spoke; it was the one on the left, pretty tall, rotund to boot, definitely hyur.
The other man, a small wormy thing, a lalafell by the looks, sneered, "Considerin' 'e's left it 'ere, I'd say so." They both chuckled to themselves, hopping off the caravan. The little one spoke again, "Won' 'e surprised when 'im and 'is pop both get clobbered in?"
The hyur replied, "Can' be surprised if yer dead." The chuckled again as they loaded the magitek onto the caravan.

Nahue frowned, whispering under his breath, "Called it." He pulled out a miniature telescope from one of his pouches under his coat, checking to see the contents of the caravan. "Arseholes still brought the money with them!" He smirked, thinking to himself. He crawled silently to the edge of the cliffside, hopping down as quietly as possible. He froze for a moment, waiting to see if they had heard him. They hadn't. He stealthy maneuvered around the other side of the caravan. While the two thugs were busy securing the mech, he quietly slipped in, grabbed the pouch full of gil and slid back out. Nahue made sure to be very careful to not let the purse jingle as he slipped it under his cloak. He grinned, listening for a moment. Pure silence. He went pale, turning to see the men facing him.

"Oi! Think yer goin' somewhere lad?" The lalafell spat.
Nahue folded his arms,leaning back against the wagon. "No, but I imagine you will be." The men seemed confused, looking to each other. Nahue's ears perked as the sound of chain and metal approached, "Right on time too." Nahue pointed behind the two men; they looked to see the Lominsian guard approaching on their Chocobos.

"HALT!" The two men shrieked, heading off in different directions. Nahue held his hands up as the guards approached, "I told you sirs, there were going to be some men out here smuggling," He paused, pointing in both directions, "Just doing my duty, they each ran in opposite directions." The guards nodded, chasing after the men. "Can't believe they didn't see that one coming," Nahu muttered, as he walked towards Limsa, to get his father, and their belongings, out of the city. </spoiler>

====Year One====
<spoiler>Before Dalamud falls, Nahue sneaks aboard the vessel Shining Hope to escape imminent destruction. He spent two weeks undetected on the vessel, sneaking food and supplies from the passengers who had now settled on the island called Menphina's Breath. One evening he stumbled through a female Miqo'te's campsite, named Manari at which point he fled and she gave chase. Upon being caught by her, she welcomed him with open arms. As the weeks went by, they became close, spending all of their time together. Nahue worked tirelessly to keep up with Manari on her hunts, learning how to track, to navigate silently through the forest and to fire a bow and arrow. It was almost inevitable it seemed, that the two would form a deep and profound relationship that would grow stronger in the years that followed.

Towards the end of the cycle, she gives birth to a healthy baby boy. She names him Ithki, after a boy in her tribe she loved upon Nahue's suggestion.</spoiler>

[[File:Nahman.jpg|500px|center|Nahue and Manari star-gazing on Menphina's Breath by a-fools-paradise @ A&C]]

====Year Two====
<spoiler>
Nahue learns the ways of parenthood after Manari's child is born. They both begin to understand the responsibilities of being a parent. Nahue is always eager to assist his mate and comes to love her child as if it was his own. After moving to the village for her child, Manari pushes for a return to the mainland and Nahue eagerly agrees, wanting to visit his childhood home and pick up a few things. Once back on the mainland, they stay in Limsa Lominsa briefly to allow Nahue to visit his father's shop, picking up a few needed supplies and his gil savings from the job he completed prior to his departure. He returns home to find it destroyed, only able to salvage a few essentials and some of the money that he had. This sends him into a minor depression until he learns that his father is still alive. He leaves a note for him and makes leave for the Black Shroud with Manari.

They arrive to find things both better, and different. Nahue consoles his mate through the adjustment of a changed home and is able to afford a residence and a small workshop in Gridania where the three of them start a happy life as a normal family.
</spoiler>

====Year Three====
<spoiler>

As Nahue settles in to his new life in Gridania, his mate strives to return to the woods to restore her home. After some convincing, he relents, wishing her to do what makes her happy, even if it might be dangerous. In a short amount of time, his workshop is set up properly. Using his father's standards to run his business he quickly becomes successful, even hiring on a few apprentices to take care of some of the work while he stays at home and helps care for their child while Manari travels the woods.

During a family walk through the woods, they are attacked by Manari's former mentor, Nahkokko. Manari fights back, far more adept at combat than Nahue, while he defends their child. They were able to drive back the small group of poachers that were sent after them, that is, until Nahkokko flanked them, engaging in direct combat with Nahue. During the course of the fight, Nahue had to protect Ithki, diving in front of him as Nahkokko swung her axe, severing his arm and taking it as a trophy before leaving them. Nahu could never blame his mate for the incident, constantly telling her that it was okay, and Ithki was safe and that's all that mattered.

Nahue misses his mate on most nights, as she takes to the woods to resume her training, leaving him at home to care for Ithki. The loss of his arm takes a toll on him, unable to work as he once did, he leaves his employees to do most of the labor his profession required.

He falls into a deep depression during this time, at which point Nahkokko launched an attack on Manari while she was in the Twelveswood, and on Nahue while he was at home in Gridania. He entered their home, taunting Nahue and his injury. She injured him and knocked him unconscious, waking shortly after Manari made it home, with Ithki nowhere to be found.

Manari left home immediately, not returning for suns while Nahue stayed home and regained his strength, all while grieving for his mate, and their child. Upon her return home, she was broken, hysterical and covered in grime and blood. He cleaned her up, consoling her as best as he could during this traumatic time. Nahue and Manari's relationship grew strained, Manari, now unable to listen to anything Nahue had to say, had gone on nightly trips hunting the Twelveswood. Unsure of what to do, Nahue tried to be there for her as best as he could, and during the day, returned to work, where he slowly began finding his passion again.

It didn't take him long to develop a basic prostethic for his missing limb. It was non-mechanical, but it hid his injury in public and helped him escape his depression.

'''Yssen Van''' is a particularly elusive, razor tongued, Duskwight rogue. He delights in drinking, stealing, swindling, gambling, and (as he puts it) games of all kinds. To most he is mysterious, to some he is kind, to others cold, violently opposed to a few, and to the rest he seems completely indifferent. The only constant seems to be that there is no constant. This, coupled with the fact that he is notoriously deceptive and secretive, leads people to think that his motives are questionable at best, and downright sinister at worst. That seems to be just how he likes it. One fact is certain. There is something hidden behind his yellow-gold eyes and devil may care grin.

==='''History'''===

There are very few confirmed details about Yssen Van's past. It is known that he was active as a thief in Ul'dah about nine years before the Dalamud Impact Event, and that he joined the mercenary company Shimmer Song at some point in the year leading up to the impact. He was even a member of the Immortal Flames for a time. He resigned his commission in particularly spectacular fashion, however. Something about him violently disagreeing with some decision some Immortal Flame officers made. Post impact, he seems to fallen back on the thieving and banditry for which he and his kind are known. He also seems to have become more and more reclusive and withdrawn in the years since the impact. Very few have met with him in person, even those that have claimed to carry out raids on his behalf say he only communicates in missives or through his adopted daughter, Hope. The fact that a Vengeance Order for the murder of an Ul'dahn merchant known as '''Radill''' remains active is the most commonly accepted reason for his staying away from the world. Yssen's current whereabouts are unknown, and the raids he has planned and executed have been all over Eorzea.

==='''Family'''===

Yssen's parentage is unknown. He IS known to have one sibling, Ysa Van. He has also adopted a young Midlander girl called Hope as his daughter and protege.

:'''Ysa Van''': - Yssen's twin sister, and a now known member of a group of assassins known as the '''Seven Devils'''. Specifically, she is the '''Fifth Devil''' and known by the code name '''"The Razor."''' Her relationship with her brother can at best be called volatile, and at worst completely homicidal. Some moment in the past put the two twins at each other's throats. While the nature of what happened is unclear, the results are that Ysa seems to doggedly pursue her brother, leaving a bloody train in her wake. Their last confrontation, which began with her murder of a Mineral Concern dancer, supposedly ended with Yssen being critically injured and near death weeks before Dalamud's impact. Ysa has not been seen in five cycles.

:[[Vengeance Order for Ysa Van]]

:'''Hope Van''': - A young Midlander girl, and Yssen's adopted daughter and protege. She was rescued by Yssen from a cruel Ul'dahn merchant when she was nine years old days before the impact. For the past five years she has traveled with and studied under Yssen, becoming quite an accomplished martial artist and thief at the tender age of fourteen. The purpose of her training remains unknown to her, and she is often sent out into the field on tasks she does not fully understand. Despite this she is fiercely loyal to Yssen, and looks to him as a father. Often a bit obnoxious, sarcastic, and a tad over enthusiastic, she none the less seems to have a fair amount of potential.

==='''Appearance'''===

:'''Height''': - Tall for an Elezen
:'''Weight''': - Slim and Wiry
:'''Skin''': - Blue
:'''Hair''': - Indigo
:'''Eyes''': - Golden
:'''Distinguishing Features''': - At some point in the past five years Yssen began wearing an eyepatch over his left eye. His right hand and arm are laced with criss-crossed spiral scar that starts at his knuckles and ends just past his shoulder. He has a black, Duskwight tatoo on his left eye that is still visible despite the eyepatch. His back also has several long scars, similar to whip or lash marks.

{{Character-stub}}

==Character==
===General===

While Jayce enjoys social settings he finds himself unusually reserved in building meaningful relationships. This guardedness originates from his childhood, which he rarely shares with others, where he finds himself continually losing those he finds important. Incidentally, those who he builds relationships with become extremely important and something he strives to protect.

Many describe Jayce on the battlefield as cold and calculating. He focuses on utilizing his own strengths and those of his companions in a manner that bring about the utmost efficiency. During missions he finds himself utterly cold-blooded and only those close to him are able to snap him out of his blood-lust.

While a snapshot of Jayce on the battlefield would indicate being a ruthless warrior, he’s extremely compassionate. He continually goes out of his way to help those who can’t help themselves. Individuals who are called ‘friend’ by Jayce find that he becomes protective of them. He has found that fighting on the battlefield alone is preferable after a rather terrible experience where he lost focus after a comrade became injured and almost died himself. However, if adventuring with close friends he makes an effort to remain vigilant to keep them and himself out of harm.

If Jayce doesn’t keep active during adventuring his mind wanders to less than ideal places. To cope with this and tough times in general he likes to play the violin, which he received from his childhood friend Darien, in solitude. This allows him to refocus and shift his mind to the happy memories instead of those filled with loss.

===Appearance===

:'''Height:''' 6'1"

:'''Hair:''' Platinum

:'''Eyes:''' Violet

:'''Build:''' Athletic

==Combat==
===General===

:*Bard/Archer
:*Gladiator/Paladin
:*Conjurer

===Strengths===

Jayce is gifted with the ability and aptitude to quickly grasp the fundamentals of weapon-based combat. Only able to use healing magic to heal his own injuries and small/superficial wounds on companions.

===Weaknesses===
Magic and magic-based combat, while common in Eorzea, is a foreign concept on the battlefield. Usually level-headed on the battlefield, seeing a companion fall or wounded can cause Jayce to lose sight of the objective and act rashly.

==Professions==
===Gatherer===

:*Miner
:*Botanist

===Strengths===
Carrying on the tradition of his parents is of the utmost importance to Jayce. As such, he forgoes all crafting and focuses on what his parents taught him, earning a living from the land.

===Weaknesses===

Jayce doesn’t openly discuss his family besides wanting to carry on their legacy of making a living off the land. He lost his mother at the age of 6 and then his father at the age of 12. At that point he went to live with a friend of the family who taught him to fight and introduced him to strategy. When he was 18 he lost both his best friend and adoptive parent when Dalamud fell from the sky. Now 23, Jayce has an irrational fear that he’ll lose something dear when his namesday arrives.

==Character==
===General===

While Jayce enjoys social settings he finds himself unusually reserved in building meaningful relationships. This guardedness originates from his childhood, which he rarely shares with others, where he finds himself continually losing those he finds important. Incidentally, those who he builds relationships with become extremely important and something he strives to protect.

Many describe Jayce on the battlefield as cold and calculating. He focuses on utilizing his own strengths and those of his companions in a manner that bring about the utmost efficiency. During missions he finds himself utterly cold-blooded and only those close to him are able to snap him out of his blood-lust.

While a snapshot of Jayce on the battlefield would indicate being a ruthless warrior, he’s extremely compassionate. He continually goes out of his way to help those who can’t help themselves. Individuals who are called ‘friend’ by Jayce find that he becomes protective of them. He has found that fighting on the battlefield alone is preferable after a rather terrible experience where he lost focus after a comrade became injured and almost died himself. However, if adventuring with close friends he makes an effort to remain vigilant to keep them and himself out of harm.

If Jayce doesn’t keep active during adventuring his mind wanders to less than ideal places. To cope with this and tough times in general he likes to play the violin, which he received from his childhood friend Darien, in solitude. This allows him to refocus and shift his mind to the happy memories instead of those filled with loss.

===Strengths===

Jayce is gifted with the ability and aptitude to quickly grasp the fundamentals of weapon-based combat. Only able to use healing magic to heal his own injuries and small/superficial wounds on companions.

===Weaknesses===
Magic and magic-based combat, while common in Eorzea, is a foreign concept on the battlefield. Usually level-headed on the battlefield, seeing a companion fall or wounded can cause Jayce to lose sight of the objective and act rashly.

===Strengths===
Carrying on the tradition of his parents is of the utmost importance to Jayce. As such, he forgoes all crafting and focuses on what his parents taught him, earning a living from the land.

==Location & Description==
<blockquote>''<big>O</big>n the southern isles of Limsa, Soliloquy Tavern is snuggled amongst the warehouses and wards. In fact, the inside resembles an old market ward, gutted and refurbished with a bar to one side and a stage to the other. Large, round tables are scattered between, save for a cleared area in the center. The whole place is draped in red silks and satins. A bartender busies themselves at the bar top cleaning glasses, ready for any incoming orders, while a dancing duo, one a Miqo'te woman and one a Hyur lass, whirl gracefully around each other on stage...''</blockquote>

==History==
:Soliloquy began as an idea bouncing around between a group of friends. They had big plans in the beginning, a theater troupe and a play to start them all off, but when no one stepped up to take on the role of leader, they let the idea drift off into oblivion for a while.

:Enter Xenedra Ambreaus, freshly free from the disbanded Eorzean Guard and bored out of her mind. With her feather duster of revitalization, she dusted clean the idea she and her friends had had all those months before and began to take steps toward actually bringing the concept to life. With the help of one of the aforementioned friends, Myllor Aurelion, she was able to purchase a long abandoned building in the Ward District of Limsa Lominsa and began the process of gutting the cobweb farm and building it anew. (Special thanks to Gospel Gestalt: carpenter and Endemerrin Rosethorne: electrician!)

:In what seemed like no time, her work was finished and the grand opening came and went. However, not long after, the red ball of death in the sky, Dalamud, started to become an ever closer looming threat. Literally. As a member of Limsa Lominsa's Maelstrom Company, Xenedra was constantly pulled away from the tavern and so the doors were closed not long after they were opened. Then, during the doomed Battle of Carteneau she and many others disappeared, presumed killed by Bahamut's Mega Flare.

:This left the tavern in the soul ownership of Myllor. Rather than liquidate it and its assets to make back his investment, however, he chose to reopen and run the tavern in Xenedra's memory. For the past five years, with the help of Xenedra's hired bar wench, Abaigeal Causland, Myllor has kept Soliloquy going. Recently, with the return of Xenedra (and the other missing Grand Company members), activity at the tavern has picked up once more and the dream is once again on the rise.

=== History ===

----
Isabel was born and grew up on her families farm, assisting with the harvesting and planting of La Noscean wheat. When she was four cycles old, her father contracted a fatal illness and passed away, leaving her mother to care for their farm. Isabel grew very close to her mother as she got older, taking up many responsibilities that her dad once had. When she reached the age of 16, she left home for Limsa Lominsa where she enlisted in the Grand Company The Maelstrom where she became a skilled archer and scout.

She was present during the Battle of Carteneau and was presumed missing in action until her arrival in Limsa Lominsa five cycles later.

===Relationships===

====Family====

'''Father''' <br>
'''Bernard Tolen'''<br>
''[Burr-nard Tohl-ehn]''<br>

:Deceased; Her father contracted an illness when she was very young and passed away.

'''Mother''' <br>
'''Primrose Tolen '''<br>
''[Prihm-rohze Tohl-ehn]''<br>

:Alive; She continues to live at Isabel's childhood home in La Noscea, tending to the small farm they own. Isabel and her mother remained close until the Battle of Carteneau at which point her mother ceased to remember who her daughter was due to the time-skip. Upon Isabel's return home, her mother didn't recognize her so she left, distraught and upset. She hasn't spoken to her since she's returned.

====Friends and acquaintances====

[[Vale Hartstrong]]: It was a chance encounter that she'd meet a youthful blond tellings stories of his adventures within the Adventurer's Guild. It wasn't long before she was a part of his crew aboard The GoldenMyst and again not long before she held affection towards the Sky King. They are now very close, but not in the romantic sense.

[[File:Nahuebyeiri.png|250px|left|Nahue by Eiri ]]
'''Given name:''' Nahue Tanner
:His given name was given to him by his biological parents, his surname was given to him when he was adopted by Ivan Tanner. His first name doesn't follow typical Seekers naming conventions if only due to Ivan's spelling of it throughout Nahue's life.

'''Pronunciation:''' ''[Na-way Tan-Er]''

'''Nicknames/Aliases:'''<br>
:''Nahu'' - A nickname given to him by close friends and family. <br>
:''Naha'' - Given to him by Ithki, Manari's child. <br>

'''Nameday:''' 11th Sun of the 2nd Astral Moon (3/11)

'''Age:''' 20 cycles.

'''Place of birth:''' Unknown.

'''Current residence:''' Gridania.

'''Home City:''' Limsa Lominsa.

'''Grand Company Allegiance:''' N/A

'''Employment:''' He owns his own workshop in Gridania.

'''Marital Status:''' Seeing someone.

'''Religion/philosophy:''' Being raised by a man of science, Byregot the Builder was always an influence in his life. Him and his father frequently pay their respects to him, as he guides their foray into the scientific field.

'''Laterality:''' Left-handed.

==== Abilities ====

*Conjurer - Nahue's biological parents were very adept at healing magicks, and he was gifted with some abilities in that area. Ivan has pushed him to pursue this art, after noticing he had a natural ability with conjury. While he grasps the concepts, he doesn't quite understand it. He isn't much of a fighter, so the instances in where he can practice it is very slim. As such, he is still very inexperienced in this field.

*Alchemist - From a young age, his father took him out to gather herbs and reagents, learning the various types and their properties. As he grew, his father teached him how to transmogrify, brew, concoct and create wonderful things. It always fascinated him, and he found he had a knack for it. Nahue has spent many cycles developing and perfecting his talent, using much of his spare time to experiment.

*Mechanician/Magitek Engineer - Another trade taught by Ivan as Nahue grew up. Nahue has always loved working on things, disassembling them, figuring out how things work, whether it is a simple pulley system, or a complex engine. His desire to learn more has always been difficult, with the taboo around magitek. He has had to learn many things in secret, often in his father's basement. Even with the risk of being caught, Nahue and his father have always enjoyed exploring the intricacies of magitek and machines in general.

*Scrapper (Pugilist) - Nahue has never been a fighter, using it only in self-defense. His abilities are very novice, as he is mostly self-taught. He tends to use whatever is around him as a weapon, or a distraction. On most occasions, he will use a wrench from his tool belt. His technique is sloppy, and unbalanced.

====Weaknesses====

*Nahue is dyslexic, and as a result, he never bothered to learn how to read. This will often get him lost when exploring, as he can't read signs for directions. He has to memorize landmarks and specific areas for navigation. This has also made learning difficult, as he has to have hands on experience, rather than reading a book to obtain knowledge or information.<br>
*Trusting of others, almost to a fault. He will confide in someone completely and utterly before getting to know them as well as he should. Because of this, he often gets his hopes up very easily for things, and it hits him much harder when things don't go as planned.<br>

==== Appearance ====

'''Height:''' 5 fulms 8 ilms.

'''Weight:''' ~135 ponz.

'''Body:''' Slender yet toned.

'''Hair:''' Silver with platinum highlights. Scruffy.

'''Eyes:''' Silver.

'''Skin:''' Light Chocolate

'''Scars/Markings:''' Where his right arm used to be is now a stump. There is a large scar on his upper arm where it was severed. In public, he uses a prosthetic, wearing his overcoat and a glove to hide the injury.

'''Clothes:''' Standard clothes for a mechanic. Usually just overalls, a pair of work boots, gloves, and goggles.

'''Voice:''' Soft, but warm. Easy on the ears. He will often shorten words in speech, combine words that normally aren't used together, and use slang.

==== Personality ====

'''Demeanor:'''<br>
:Nahue is a warm and friendly individual when with someone he knows. When he is around strangers or large groups of people he is very shy, rigid and introverted. He will keep to himself and stick to observing unless spoken to. He is a very curious person, often asking many questions and being nosy. Because of this, he may come off as annoying at times, but his intentions are always good.

'''Emotions:'''<br>
:He is almost always smiling, goofing off, and generally being happy. He carries an optimistic outlook on life. He tends to stay calm in most situations, rarely getting angry or upset. If he is, he usually keeps it to himself.

'''Intelligence:'''<br>
:He loves learning new things, very intellectual. He thinks before he speaks. Not very street-smart, but he is learning. As a dyslexic, he never bothered to learn how to read, as it was something that was difficult for him to do. As a result, everything he has learned has been from hands on experience or taught from his father. He loves to experiment on things and tinker with them to learn how the world works and behaves. Because of his learning disability, he has become very observant of the world around him, picking up on things that others usually wouldn't. He has used this to his advantage, learning vicariously through other people's experiences in fields that interest him. Even though he is unable to read and write, he is able to speak fluent Eorzean.

'''Quirks:'''<br>
:When Nahue is embarassed or experiences a moment of awkwardness, he will often stutter.
:When happy or excited, his tail will wiggle or wag. He often hides his tail in his overalls to prevent others from noticing.

'''Alignment:''' [http://www.easydamus.com/trueneutral.html True Neutral]

=== History ===

----
Until the age of 3, he traveled with his birth parents and the rest of his clan by caravan throughout Eorzea. However, one day he decided to wander off and explore on his own. He ended up getting lost and eventually found himself running into a peculiar Hyur by the name of Ivan Tanner. The kind old man took him and raised him as his own.

Ivan is a mechanic and an alchemist by trade, so naturally he apprenticed under him. He quickly developed a love for tools, machinery, gears and gadgets. Anytime his father brought something home, they would spend hours tinkering with it, learning how it works and how to make it work even better than before.

Prior to the Calamity, his father owned a little alchemist/mechanic shop in Limsa Lominsa. He is currently living in Gridania with his mate, [[Manari Onai]], where he runs his own shop in the local marketplace.

<center>
====Pre-Calamity====
<spoiler>Nahue walked through the dark alleys of Limsa Lominsa, Dalamud shining brightly overhead. He wore an overcoat that night, a dark cloak and hood underneath. He carried himself well, a small cadence to his step as his boots scraped against the cobblestone. He slid his hood over his head, concealing his face from view. He had dealt with these men before, but nothing of this size. A dead drop, as usual. It was the safest thing for him and his father. He couldn't risk it otherwise. This was definitely something that would get them both killed.

The terms of the arrangement had already been established the week prior. Tonight, it was setting up the delivery. The item in question was currently sitting in the basement of his father's shop. Not the best place to store something of this kind, but it was the only place he could think of at the time. Getting it to the dead drop location would be another matter entirely. He shook that thought from his head, "One step at a time," he thought. Right now, he needed to drop off the note that would let them know where he was leaving the item in question.

His pace quickened as the wind picked up. It was a chilly night, and with the ocean winds, it hit straight to the bone. He approached the drop location, sliding the note between two wooden boards, looking for a moment before pulling out a small envelope hidden underneath. The location in general was well hidden, and the drop spot wouldn't be noticeable at first glance, only to those who actively looked for something there would see it. He exhaled sharply, returning to his father's shop while opening the envelope. The first half of the payment was inside, the other half to be designated after they get the item. "Time to get it," he thought as he briskly walked back through the alleyways. A thought did cross his mind however, taking the first half of the payment and skipping town, though, that'd put his father in danger, and they'd surely track him down. Not a good idea by any means.

Nahue arrived at the shop shortly thereafter, heading down in the basement where it resided. He glanced at the large object, hidden under a tarp. He grabbed one end of the cloth, pulling it away slowly. As the tarp fell away, it revealed the waist and legs of a large magitek mech. Nahue had been working on it for awhile, attempting to make it work without the chassis, to no avail. His buyer might have better luck, but with Dalamud approaching, he thought it'd be better to sell the thing and make off with the profits rather than leaving it to rust. He smirked as he gave the machine a final once over, remembering when he had found the thing.

It was only a couple months ago, he was out in La Noscea, scavenging for anything of use for his father's business. He had just climbed up a small rock formation when he had seen smoke rising from the air. Curiousity got the better of him and he quickly rushed over to see what had caused it. To his surprise, it was the wreckage of the mech, surrounded by dead Garlean soldiers. He didn't know what happened to them, nor did he care to. He quickly put out the smoke so no one would discover him, or this piece of tech. A rarity to be sure, a very very illegal one at that. There was no way he'd leave this out here.

He did his best, using nearby tree branches to cover it up before heading off to the nearest camp. Luckily, he was able to find a merchant selling some wares. A few things purchased; a tarp, a wooden board, and a hefty length of rope. After making it back to the wreckage, he laid the wooden board on the ground, and with a bit of science, he managed to prop up the mech on the board using the rope and gravity. He then fastened the mech to the wood, secured it under the tarp, and began pulling. It only took him seven or eight hours to reach Limsa, a lot faster than he thought it would take. By then, he was under the cover of nightfall and easily able to drag it into the city and to the shop.

He grinned as he looked at it, a good memory. He sighed, pulling the tarp back over the magitek, securing it with rope once more. This time he thought ahead, making sure to secure a caravan for that evening. The caravan had already pulled up beside the shop, near the basement door, ready for the pickup. He walked outside, giving a nod to the driver. A friend of his fathers, a trustworthy one at that. They worked together to get the bundled up piece of machinery into the back of the caravan, of which only took 20 minutes. He smiled, giving the driver a handshake, hopping in to the back of the caravan.

"Tha usual place Nahu?" The man grunted from the front of the wagon.
Nahu whispered, "Aye...Thanks once more for this Gayle."
The old man shrugged, "Leas' I could do for Ivan's son."

Gayle, was one of Ivan's oldest friends, always willing to help out his family as needed, and Nahue was no exception. Gayle had done a few runs like this with Nahu, helping out the Tanners whenever needed, and it wasn't without due compensation either. Nahue would make sure of that, especially with this drop.

They headed off, out of Limsa to the spot designated by Nahue where the magitek would be dropped off. Nahue and Gayle loaded the machine off the wagon, near a cliffside, not noticeable from the road. He opened his envelope and poured the contents into his hands; a hefty amount of gil. He tossed Gayle one of the smaller coins and nodded, "I'll walk back." The man nodded in return, heading back to his wagon and driving off back to Limsa.

Nahue looked around the area where the treasure lay, trying to find a spot to hide. He saw a nice outcropping of rocks just atop the cliffside, only about seven feet up too, an easy climb. He gracefully grabbed a hold of the formation, scaling it with ease. Slowly he moved to the rocks, kneeling down to hide. Here he would wait for the men to pick up their prize, here he would wait for the rest of his money..

Nahue didn't mind the two hour wait ahead of him. There wasn't a cloud in the sky; every single star was crisp and bright, minus the ones near Dalamud. He enjoyed the moonlight, it was peaceful and calm that night, with only an odd bird chirp or two throughout the night. He took a deep breath and exhaled, relaxing, waiting in anticipation for the men to arrive. He had a feeling that the other party wouldn't hold up their end of the bargain, first payment or not. These were the types to pay you, get what they want, then kill you and take their money back. "Not this time," Nahu thought. His ears perked up towards some voices in the distance, "That must be them," he thought once more. He fidgeted, waiting to see them appear from the darkness. There were two men, wheeling a caravan of their own, torches in their hands. Odd thing to see, when you are someone who doesn't want to get noticed. He shrugged to himself, waiting for them to approach.

"Ya fink tha' lad'll actually believe 'e's getten' his money?" One of the men spoke; it was the one on the left, pretty tall, rotund to boot, definitely hyur.
The other man, a small wormy thing, a lalafell by the looks, sneered, "Considerin' 'e's left it 'ere, I'd say so." They both chuckled to themselves, hopping off the caravan. The little one spoke again, "Won' 'e surprised when 'im and 'is pop both get clobbered in?"
The hyur replied, "Can' be surprised if yer dead." The chuckled again as they loaded the magitek onto the caravan.

Nahue frowned, whispering under his breath, "Called it." He pulled out a miniature telescope from one of his pouches under his coat, checking to see the contents of the caravan. "Arseholes still brought the money with them!" He smirked, thinking to himself. He crawled silently to the edge of the cliffside, hopping down as quietly as possible. He froze for a moment, waiting to see if they had heard him. They hadn't. He stealthy maneuvered around the other side of the caravan. While the two thugs were busy securing the mech, he quietly slipped in, grabbed the pouch full of gil and slid back out. Nahue made sure to be very careful to not let the purse jingle as he slipped it under his cloak. He grinned, listening for a moment. Pure silence. He went pale, turning to see the men facing him.

"Oi! Think yer goin' somewhere lad?" The lalafell spat.
Nahue folded his arms,leaning back against the wagon. "No, but I imagine you will be." The men seemed confused, looking to each other. Nahue's ears perked as the sound of chain and metal approached, "Right on time too." Nahue pointed behind the two men; they looked to see the Lominsian guard approaching on their Chocobos.

"HALT!" The two men shrieked, heading off in different directions. Nahue held his hands up as the guards approached, "I told you sirs, there were going to be some men out here smuggling," He paused, pointing in both directions, "Just doing my duty, they each ran in opposite directions." The guards nodded, chasing after the men. "Can't believe they didn't see that one coming," Nahu muttered, as he walked towards Limsa, to get his father, and their belongings, out of the city. </spoiler>

====Year One====
<spoiler>Before Dalamud falls, Nahue sneaks aboard the vessel Shining Hope to escape imminent destruction. He spent two weeks undetected on the vessel, sneaking food and supplies from the passengers who had now settled on the island called Menphina's Breath. One evening he stumbled through a female Miqo'te's campsite, named Manari at which point he fled and she gave chase. Upon being caught by her, she welcomed him with open arms. As the weeks went by, they became close, spending all of their time together. Nahue worked tirelessly to keep up with Manari on her hunts, learning how to track, to navigate silently through the forest and to fire a bow and arrow. It was almost inevitable it seemed, that the two would form a deep and profound relationship that would grow stronger in the years that followed.

Towards the end of the cycle, she gives birth to a healthy baby boy. She names him Ithki, after a boy in her tribe she loved upon Nahue's suggestion.</spoiler>

[[File:Nahman.jpg|500px|center|Nahue and Manari star-gazing on Menphina's Breath by a-fools-paradise @ A&C]]

====Year Two====
<spoiler>
Nahue learns the ways of parenthood after Manari's child is born. They both begin to understand the responsibilities of being a parent. Nahue is always eager to assist his mate and comes to love her child as if it was his own. After moving to the village for her child, Manari pushes for a return to the mainland and Nahue eagerly agrees, wanting to visit his childhood home and pick up a few things. Once back on the mainland, they stay in Limsa Lominsa briefly to allow Nahue to visit his father's shop, picking up a few needed supplies and his gil savings from the job he completed prior to his departure. He returns home to find it destroyed, only able to salvage a few essentials and some of the money that he had. This sends him into a minor depression until he learns that his father is still alive. He leaves a note for him and makes leave for the Black Shroud with Manari.

They arrive to find things both better, and different. Nahue consoles his mate through the adjustment of a changed home and is able to afford a residence and a small workshop in Gridania where the three of them start a happy life as a normal family.
</spoiler>

====Year Three====
<spoiler>

As Nahue settles in to his new life in Gridania, his mate strives to return to the woods to restore her home. After some convincing, he relents, wishing her to do what makes her happy, even if it might be dangerous. In a short amount of time, his workshop is set up properly. Using his father's standards to run his business he quickly becomes successful, even hiring on a few apprentices to take care of some of the work while he stays at home and helps care for their child while Manari travels the woods.

During a family walk through the woods, they are attacked by Manari's former mentor, Nahkokko. Manari fights back, far more adept at combat than Nahue, while he defends their child. They were able to drive back the small group of poachers that were sent after them, that is, until Nahkokko flanked them, engaging in direct combat with Nahue. During the course of the fight, Nahue had to protect Ithki, diving in front of him as Nahkokko swung her axe, severing his arm and taking it as a trophy before leaving them. Nahu could never blame his mate for the incident, constantly telling her that it was okay, and Ithki was safe and that's all that mattered.

Nahue misses his mate on most nights, as she takes to the woods to resume her training, leaving him at home to care for Ithki. The loss of his arm takes a toll on him, unable to work as he once did, he leaves his employees to do most of the labor his profession required.

He falls into a deep depression during this time, at which point Nahkokko launched an attack on Manari while she was in the Twelveswood, and on Nahue while he was at home in Gridania. He entered their home, taunting Nahue and his injury. She injured him and knocked him unconscious, waking shortly after Manari made it home, with Ithki nowhere to be found.

Manari left home immediately, not returning for suns while Nahue stayed home and regained his strength, all while grieving for his mate, and their child. Upon her return home, she was broken, hysterical and covered in grime and blood. He cleaned her up, consoling her as best as he could during this traumatic time. Nahue and Manari's relationship grew strained, Manari, now unable to listen to anything Nahue had to say, had gone on nightly trips hunting the Twelveswood. Unsure of what to do, Nahue tried to be there for her as best as he could, and during the day, returned to work, where he slowly began finding his passion again.

It didn't take him long to develop a basic prostethic for his missing limb. It was non-mechanical, but it hid his injury in public and helped him escape his depression.

<div style="font-size: 10px">('''Abaigeal Causland ''' is a rather playful and flirtatious Highlander Hyur who specializes in swordplay, she is also a fan of daggers and throwing knives in which she incorporates into her dancing. She is always found with a warm smile on her face and bright and sunny disposition that she ebbs and flows onto others around her. She tries to understand and grasp the events of Eorzea through her friends and patrons, though she still misunderstands or is ignorant to some events.)</div>
==<div style="padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-top: 3px; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(43, 93, 9); line-height: 1.3em"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif">'''Appearance'''</span></div>==
:'''Height:''' 6 fulms, 2 ilms - for a Highlander she is one of the tallest females. She usually stands slightly taller than a tall male Midlander and slightly shorter than a short male Elezen.

:'''Weight:''' 145 ponz – She has a dancers build. Muscle tone where expected, a round bottom and a modest amount of breast. She tends to be more muscle then most would assume.

:'''Body:''' Abaigeal is slight of frame and often considered rail-thin, Compared to most of the Highlander race that she takes after on her mother's side. Though this is often deceiving s most of it is solid muscle. Her thighs and calves are well tones from the dancing skill she has acquired. While she is thin she does however have curves in the right places with soft round hips, a modest and perky bust. Her upper arm strength is attributed to the sword handling while dancing as she has to be able to twist and twirl any size blade about. She does however pride herself on her long legs.

:'''Complexion:''' Pale, peaches and cream with tints of rose upon her cheeks. There is a small and light smattering of freckles that cross the bridge of her nose and dissipate gradually under her eyes. She had small scars that have grown faint over the years upon her hands and forearms which are also calloused from working with blades. Her feet are usually calloused and often dirty as she parades about barefoot. At first it was because of lack of affordability. Now it's more a preference as to not hinder her while she dances.

:'''Face:''' Abaigeal's face is youthful with full rosy cheeks, freckles, and full pouty lips. Her eyes are a bright and vibrant emerald green with a dark hunter green rim on the outside. It is often said that if someone looks upon them for long enough they will swear that her eye are smiling themselves. Her ears are pierced three times each: two holes on the bottom of her lobe with silver rings in them. And two conch piercings in the cartilage with silver ear cuffs.

:'''Hair:''' While the color is often described as russet or a deep burgundy, it's often changes color depending on the time of the cycle. While colder times it's darker in nature the warmer seasons its lighter. Still she has the same reddish highlighting. Her hair has been usually worn short with her natural curls causing a state of perpetual bed head. She is constantly debating on whether to grow it out or not. A ruthless battle that it is, of course when it gets to the awkward point she chops it all off. Though, she does have a single braid that hangs down on the right side of her face.

:'''Clothing&&Apparel:''' Abaigeal's fashion is more performance geared. She had several flowing skirts and tops made of chiffons and sheers. The skirts are long full circle skirts that fall to her ankles with high slits up to her hips. Underneath is a pair of small form fitting pair of shorts that appear painted on; if she is not wearing matching dance bottoms. The slits are for access to throwing daggers that are strapped to her thighs when out on excursions. When she is not wearing them the function is dance related and offer gratuitous peeks to her lengthy legs.

:When adventuring which she hasn't done much of she tends to dress practical, for once wearing proper shoes and clothing conducive to actually climbing about and running through who knows what. Though As of late she has found to take a liking to the sword and shield often donning plate armor.

==<div style="padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-top: 3px; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(43, 93, 9); line-height: 1.3em"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif">'''Behaviors'''</span></div>==

:'''Speech&&Accenting:''' Abaigeal has an accent that is noted as foreign by most. She will often replace "I's" with "Ah's" and shorten some words while using "Ye" for "You". Along with her accent she will also use her country's colloquialisms which can often be misinterpreted. The sound of her voice is often cheerful and energetic. Though, it can be sultry when with ones she is intimate with.

:'''Demeanor:''' Abai is drawn to the concept of living life outside the box. She resists being caught up in conventional boundaries and rules, and actively seeks out change for her benefit and often for the benefit of others as a whole. Abai just doesn't sit around hoping for things to come to her. She is more of a go-getter that will do what she can and what she wants. Hence one of the reasons she has left Eri'Lan'.

:She has a bit of a playful jesting streak that causes her to constantly go head to head in a battle of witty retorts. Mostly at [[Tavern Soliloquy]] one can find such banter and back and forth's between her and other patrons. Abai is determined to stand her ground and eventually get you to believe her. If she tells you the sky is Neon yellow by the end of the night you just might thinks so too, unless of course ye took a bad dose of Rocky Chocobo. That also comes from being a true Eri'ish bony lass. She can develop quite the temper and tear you a new one when you least expect it. Something about Eri'ish women and bad tempers, you know hell hath no fury like a woman scorn. Note of advise unless you enjoy getting your head torn off don't piss off the lass.

:Abai does posses a sweet natured side. Her mother bless her soul said it was because she is everyone's sweetheart being born on the start of day of Valentione's Day. She can be the one to let you cry on her shoulder, tell your secrets too. Or hell just enjoy being in her company. She can give you the warm fuzzies.

:'''Quirks&&Ticks:''' She has a strange affinity to walking about barefoot. Twirls her hair around her finger when annoyed or thinking, at least when it's long. When she wears it short she plays with her braid. Abai also tends to make a TSK noise when she doesn't agree with actions or words. She picks at her nails when nervous or thinking of what to say. Stammers and blushes when extremely nervous, flustered, or in the presence of someone she...fancies.

::* '''Father: Killian Causland (50's)'''—Born in one of the City States associated with the Island Clusters off to the North-West. Native folk know it as Eri’lan’. Not well known as outsiders, as they have yet to give it a name or put it on the map. It's got a blend of all sorts much like Eorzea. Its believed that long ago there were quite a few Eorzeans had traveled North-West in expansion to claim the land for Eorzea, only when they arrived they fell in love with the land and the natives it was had to leave. Killian is a good natured man business man who married a young foreign woman who landed off the coast of his village when he was just a young lad of 19 cycles. A striking young woman that towered above him caught his eye and he had never regretted it. He currently still resides in the Island Clusters, only traveling to Eorzea for Merchant trips and to check on Abaigeal.

::* '''Mother: Sabine (Rainer) Causland (Deceased)''' Highlander Hyur that was a part of a nomadic tribe of peoples. A ruthless and almost savage people one would say. While amidst a squirmish with a group of Sea Wolf's that eventually ended on their ship, a storm had struck and set the ship off course to the North-West landing them on a place the natives called Eri'Lan'. Upon landing and waking up from the ship wreckage she found the people had taken a kindness to her and her people. Assisting to the wounded and tending to the weak. The people went as far as to offering their supplies and homes to the taller robust strangers and the remaining Sea Wolf crew. She had met Killian and his family that day, eventually falling for and wedding into his family.

::* '''Brother: Faolan Causland (31)'''—Oldest child of the Causland's. Faolan while five years older than his sister had always felt the need to protect her. While he never really saw her as "sister" he had always seemed to note that she was able to keep up with him and his best friend Ayden. As years went by his need to protect and look after his sister faded as it proved she could do more and more herself; almost becoming more useful and better at things that he was supposed to be good at. While he never showed his jealousy or resentment he often wished that Abaigeal would fall from her pedestal that their father had placed her upon. A month before her 16th birthday, that day would come. He regretted harboring any ill feeling and has strived to at the very least keep in touch with his Sister. He has since married and has produced a daughter. One whose spirit reminds him very much of his beloved sister.

:'''Given Name:''' Abaigeal Causland '[Ah-bee-gale Kahs-land]': Her first name means “joyful or Joyous”. The name Abaigeal is spelled with the Gaelic pronunciation. The rough form that would have come from her mother’s “Highlander” side is Abigail. Still, the same meaning but with her father’s origin. Her last name has a few interesting meanings. Some believe it's from a derivative of the trade "carpenter". Though others know Causland is more widely known for Northern Eri'Lan', but has been found in some Southern Eri'Lan' linage. The Original origin of the name is unknown though thought to be nomadic people who had migrated about.

:'''Aliases/Nicknames:'''

:::'''Abai:''' The shortened version of her name that started off only being used by family and those she is familiar with. However it is now used at Soliloquy Tavern by her patrons as it's easier to understand slurred. Either way she often feels that most of her patrons that come around regularly are her friends.

:::'''Abs:''' Only Myllor calls her this and gets away with it. Anyone else she will kindly correct and ask to please be called Abai or Abaigeal.

:'''Current Residence:''' [[Tavern Soliloquy]], Limsa Lominsa

:'''Marital/Relationship Status:''' In a relationship with [[Saitou Yoshida]]

::::'''0 -''' ''Joyous is she who was born on the day of Valentiones.''

:::::<spoiler>::<i>"Joyous is she who was born on the day of Valentiones,"</i> was the blessing whispered over the tiny babe quietly sleeping in her mother's loving embrace. She was of soft peaches and cream skin coated with a hint of rose colored blush to her cheeks, chin and nose. Small freckles pepper the newborns face, while thick dark lashes line her lids. A proud father standing over mother and child as a five year old mop headed lad peek up from the side of the covers.

::"She's beautiful...every spitting feature of her Ma." He crooned idly stroking the long and sweat matted locks of the labored woman. "She even has yer peaceful sleeping features..." His smile splitting his features as a large calloused hand gently stroked the babe's cheek.

::"Aye...She is Beautiful...Though I see she has more of her Da...The pert little nose...and the—" She was silenced by a soft kiss that was placed upon her lips. A ghost of mused utterance bubbled from the woman's lips. "Killian...ye keep that up and the two will have a another shortly after..." She jested shifting her arm a bit.

::"Faolan, Meet your sister..." She raised her elbow to as so teh young lad could catch a better glimpse. His brows furrowed with a pout upon his lips. "What's wrong my little Wolf?" She question the boy with a chuckle.

::With a sharp exhale the youth clambered upon the mother's bed crawling closer and gently poking the Sleeping girl's cheek. His brows furrowed again as he finally replied. "Mama...This...is a seester...Ah wanted a brudder..." He woeful sighed again before questioning. "What can Ah do with a lass..." He frowned again as the two parents chuckled rather bemused.

::"Ah me boy...she may look like a doll now...but ye'll see. She'll find a way to bring ye joy—joy..." Killians face light up as he looked to his wife. "Sabine...Ah think Ah have a name..."

::The tired woman quirked a brow. "Oh? You do? You mean I don't get to pick this time?" She chuckled, her slight movements lightly jostling the sleeping bad as so she uttered a soft and peaceful coo. "Oh...we shouldn't wake the wee one..." She whispered.

::"Aye,aye...but her name...Abaigeal...It means—"

::"It means Joyous...or one who brings joy..." Sabine weakly smiled up to husband. "Tis the same back home..." She looked to the little one resting before kissing the top of the red and russet tressed babe. "What do you think Faolan?" She questioned the young lad her gaze rising from her daughter to her son.

::"Ah still think she should be a brudder...And Ah don't know //hooow// she will bring joy." The five year old crossed his arms in a pout before his features soften. A small hand reached out and caught her brothers finger in her sleep. His hazel eyes widen for a moment before a smile crossed his face.

::"Da!! Da!!! She—She touched me first!!!" He beamed brightly as the infant hadn't moved since placed in her mother's arms. "She...er...Aba-..Abai--Abai-ge-al. She touched me!!! Ah'm her favorite!!" he proudly mused and sputtered with excitement.

::"Seems Faolan, will have no problem with a sister..." Sabine cooed reaching her hand up for her husband's.

::"Aye...seems so..." He smiled back taking her hand in his. "Seems that our lit'le lass is also earning her name this namesday..." he mused.
</spoiler>

::::'''5 -''' ''Death of her Mother, A Lass is raised a Lad.''

:::::<spoiler>Abaigeal without her mother was raised along side her brother. Her father having no indication of what young ladies should or shouldn't know raised her as a "second son" of sorts. She grew up sort of tomboyish learning how to do things that was traditionally considered male of the house.</spoiler>

::::''' 7 -''' ''Learning the ways of the house...someone has too.''

:::::<spoiler>Still learning things such as hunting, and fishing she hadn't quiet realized that there was things such as gender roles. Not until a family moved in next door. They had a son her brothers age. The two siblings would often go over to play, however the older woman took a curious interest in her. Wondering why she hadn't quite learned some of the expected "normal" things that young girls usually know by that age. Not that the kinder woman couldn't understand that it was probably more fun to learn how to hunt and skin marmot then to clean and wash clothes. Still feeling she should at least help Killian, Abaigeal was soon learning how to cook and do wash and learn various house mouse chores.</spoiler>

::::'''10 -''' ''Me & My Brother &--& His Friend.''

:::::<spoiler>Ayden. His name was Adyen and he could climb trees faster then Faolan! He was faster at running and better with a bow. But certain not nearly as good with a blade as Abai. The three children were inseparable.Pretending they were adventures going on a grand expedition. Like three peas in a pod. Of course this also the awkward age when Abai stared to realize that boys were...uh...boys. Her attitude would fluctuate between blushy blushy and seeing Ayden as nothing more then a brother.Her first crush ever.</spoiler>

::::'''15 -''' ''A Proposal one //can// refuse.''

:::::<spoiler>Killian had taken a few trips to the homeland of her mother. His travels as a merchant taking hi to new places and meeting new people. Over the years he had developed a relationship with a wealth elezen merchant who happened to have a son about a few cycles ahead of Abai. The two felt it would be great to have a union of trade. The elezen merchant having expand his horizons to the Isle City-States across the water with out having to do the actual work. The only catch would be to ensure that the business deal not go south was to send Abaigeal to be a pawn of business. She would wed their son,and she would become a mindless trapped doll that would be required to learn in the trade and help her "husband" in away possible. Needless to say. It wasn't long after her father had her pack her things. She was thinking she was going to accompany him on this trip just after her fifteenth cycle, only when they reached the pier she learned the truth. Terrified, scared, and with reckless abandon she ran getting swept away by the crowds and finding herself on another ship. It didn't matter where it was going. But where ever it was. It would be her choice. </spoiler>

:'''Name Scheme for Abaigeal and her Family''':
:As when Abaigeal was created , her intended was to be an Irish like hyur. Her speech was to be a replication dialect and lingo of such. Especially with the term “Highlander” for a Clan descriptor. My head immediately took it to “Gaelic Highlander’s” However, with the name scheme info that was released, It seems I lucked out and don’t have to change anything really! Except for finding Germanic-Irish names, which are often associated with Palatine Germans, (Lutheran’s who were prosecuted by the French and driven from Germany to England. Who migrated to Ireland) Anyhow on to explanations!

::'''Abaigeal Causland- (“Joyful or Joyous”)''' The name Abaigeal is spelled with the Gaelic pronunciation. The Germanic form that would have come from her mother’s “Highlander” side is Abigail. Still the same meaning but with her father’s origin

::'''Sabine (Rainer) Causland – (“Tribe of Sabine” “Advice-&-Army”)'''. The name “SABINE” itself is a female Germanic name as well as the surname RAINER. They are referenced to be kind of brute force and tribal with names that instill fear or are graphic. While SABINE is the name of an actual nomadic tribe that existed throughout Europe, it seemed appropriate.

:::Rainer- Is name that can be interpreted as “Wise Army” Or “Army Adviser” Which fits with the powerful connotation that is supposed to be shown in the “HIGHLANDER” name scheme. It’s origin is also Palatine, but leans more towards Germanic.

::'''Killian Causland (“Associated with Church” “[absolom] Peace”)'''. This is the Huge tying in factor to the whole name scheme of tying Irish and German names together to create Abaigeal. Killian or Cillian means “associated with the Church” and comes from A missionary that traveled across Europe and about the Rhines. The Rhines is where the Palatine people had roughly originated.

:::The name Causland is more widely known for Scottish, but has been found in some Irish linage. The Original origin of the name is unknown though thought to be nomadic people who had migrated from Europe.

::'''Faolan Causland –("Wolf" or "Follower of the Warrior")''' It seemed like something a Highlander would name their son but incorporates “Eri’lan’” naming.

:'''Name/Alias:''' Elle/Lauren or you can call me Abai.

----
Isabel was born and grew up on her families farm, assisting with the harvesting and planting of La Noscean wheat. When she was four cycles old, her father contracted a fatal illness and passed away, leaving her mother to care for their farm. Isabel grew very close to her mother as she got older, taking up many responsibilities that her dad once had. When she reached the age of 16, she left home for Limsa Lominsa where she enlisted in the Grand Company The Maelstrom where she became a skilled archer and scout.

She was present during the Battle of Carteneau and was presumed missing in action until her arrival in Limsa Lominsa five cycles later.

==== Abilities ====

*Conjurer - Nahue's biological parents were very adept at healing magicks, and he was gifted with some abilities in that area. Ivan has pushed him to pursue this art, after noticing he had a natural ability with conjury. While he grasps the concepts, he doesn't quite understand it. He isn't much of a fighter, so the instances in where he can practice it is very slim. As such, he is still very inexperienced in this field.

*Alchemist - From a young age, his father took him out to gather herbs and reagents, learning the various types and their properties. As he grew, his father teached him how to transmogrify, brew, concoct and create wonderful things. It always fascinated him, and he found he had a knack for it. Nahue has spent many cycles developing and perfecting his talent, using much of his spare time to experiment.

*Mechanician/Magitek Engineer - Another trade taught by Ivan as Nahue grew up. Nahue has always loved working on things, disassembling them, figuring out how things work, whether it is a simple pulley system, or a complex engine. His desire to learn more has always been difficult, with the taboo around magitek. He has had to learn many things in secret, often in his father's basement.

=== History ===

----
Until the age of 3, he traveled with his birth parents and the rest of his clan by caravan throughout Eorzea. However, one day he decided to wander off and explore on his own. He ended up getting lost and eventually found himself running into a peculiar Hyur by the name of Ivan Tanner. The kind old man took him and raised him as his own.

Ivan is a mechanic and an alchemist by trade, so naturally he apprenticed under him. He quickly developed a love for tools, machinery, gears and gadgets. Anytime his father brought something home, they would spend hours tinkering with it, learning how it works and how to make it work even better than before.

Prior to the Calamity, his father owned a little alchemist/mechanic shop in Limsa Lominsa. He is currently living in Gridania with his mate, [[Manari Onai]], where he runs his own shop in the local marketplace.

<center>
====Pre-Calamity====
<spoiler>Nahue walked through the dark alleys of Limsa Lominsa, Dalamud shining brightly overhead. He wore an overcoat that night, a dark cloak and hood underneath. He carried himself well, a small cadence to his step as his boots scraped against the cobblestone. He slid his hood over his head, concealing his face from view. He had dealt with these men before, but nothing of this size. A dead drop, as usual. It was the safest thing for him and his father. He couldn't risk it otherwise. This was definitely something that would get them both killed.

The terms of the arrangement had already been established the week prior. Tonight, it was setting up the delivery. The item in question was currently sitting in the basement of his father's shop. Not the best place to store something of this kind, but it was the only place he could think of at the time. Getting it to the dead drop location would be another matter entirely. He shook that thought from his head, "One step at a time," he thought. Right now, he needed to drop off the note that would let them know where he was leaving the item in question.

His pace quickened as the wind picked up. It was a chilly night, and with the ocean winds, it hit straight to the bone. He approached the drop location, sliding the note between two wooden boards, looking for a moment before pulling out a small envelope hidden underneath. The location in general was well hidden, and the drop spot wouldn't be noticeable at first glance, only to those who actively looked for something there would see it. He exhaled sharply, returning to his father's shop while opening the envelope. The first half of the payment was inside, the other half to be designated after they get the item. "Time to get it," he thought as he briskly walked back through the alleyways. A thought did cross his mind however, taking the first half of the payment and skipping town, though, that'd put his father in danger, and they'd surely track him down. Not a good idea by any means.

Nahue arrived at the shop shortly thereafter, heading down in the basement where it resided. He glanced at the large object, hidden under a tarp. He grabbed one end of the cloth, pulling it away slowly. As the tarp fell away, it revealed the waist and legs of a large magitek mech. Nahue had been working on it for awhile, attempting to make it work without the chassis, to no avail. His buyer might have better luck, but with Dalamud approaching, he thought it'd be better to sell the thing and make off with the profits rather than leaving it to rust. He smirked as he gave the machine a final once over, remembering when he had found the thing.

It was only a couple months ago, he was out in La Noscea, scavenging for anything of use for his father's business. He had just climbed up a small rock formation when he had seen smoke rising from the air. Curiousity got the better of him and he quickly rushed over to see what had caused it. To his surprise, it was the wreckage of the mech, surrounded by dead Garlean soldiers. He didn't know what happened to them, nor did he care to. He quickly put out the smoke so no one would discover him, or this piece of tech. A rarity to be sure, a very very illegal one at that. There was no way he'd leave this out here.

He did his best, using nearby tree branches to cover it up before heading off to the nearest camp. Luckily, he was able to find a merchant selling some wares. A few things purchased; a tarp, a wooden board, and a hefty length of rope. After making it back to the wreckage, he laid the wooden board on the ground, and with a bit of science, he managed to prop up the mech on the board using the rope and gravity. He then fastened the mech to the wood, secured it under the tarp, and began pulling. It only took him seven or eight hours to reach Limsa, a lot faster than he thought it would take. By then, he was under the cover of nightfall and easily able to drag it into the city and to the shop.

He grinned as he looked at it, a good memory. He sighed, pulling the tarp back over the magitek, securing it with rope once more. This time he thought ahead, making sure to secure a caravan for that evening. The caravan had already pulled up beside the shop, near the basement door, ready for the pickup. He walked outside, giving a nod to the driver. A friend of his fathers, a trustworthy one at that. They worked together to get the bundled up piece of machinery into the back of the caravan, of which only took 20 minutes. He smiled, giving the driver a handshake, hopping in to the back of the caravan.

"Tha usual place Nahu?" The man grunted from the front of the wagon.
Nahu whispered, "Aye...Thanks once more for this Gayle."
The old man shrugged, "Leas' I could do for Ivan's son."

Gayle, was one of Ivan's oldest friends, always willing to help out his family as needed, and Nahue was no exception. Gayle had done a few runs like this with Nahu, helping out the Tanners whenever needed, and it wasn't without due compensation either. Nahue would make sure of that, especially with this drop.

They headed off, out of Limsa to the spot designated by Nahue where the magitek would be dropped off. Nahue and Gayle loaded the machine off the wagon, near a cliffside, not noticeable from the road. He opened his envelope and poured the contents into his hands; a hefty amount of gil. He tossed Gayle one of the smaller coins and nodded, "I'll walk back." The man nodded in return, heading back to his wagon and driving off back to Limsa.

Nahue looked around the area where the treasure lay, trying to find a spot to hide. He saw a nice outcropping of rocks just atop the cliffside, only about seven feet up too, an easy climb. He gracefully grabbed a hold of the formation, scaling it with ease. Slowly he moved to the rocks, kneeling down to hide. Here he would wait for the men to pick up their prize, here he would wait for the rest of his money..

Nahue didn't mind the two hour wait ahead of him. There wasn't a cloud in the sky; every single star was crisp and bright, minus the ones near Dalamud. He enjoyed the moonlight, it was peaceful and calm that night, with only an odd bird chirp or two throughout the night. He took a deep breath and exhaled, relaxing, waiting in anticipation for the men to arrive. He had a feeling that the other party wouldn't hold up their end of the bargain, first payment or not. These were the types to pay you, get what they want, then kill you and take their money back. "Not this time," Nahu thought. His ears perked up towards some voices in the distance, "That must be them," he thought once more. He fidgeted, waiting to see them appear from the darkness. There were two men, wheeling a caravan of their own, torches in their hands. Odd thing to see, when you are someone who doesn't want to get noticed. He shrugged to himself, waiting for them to approach.

"Ya fink tha' lad'll actually believe 'e's getten' his money?" One of the men spoke; it was the one on the left, pretty tall, rotund to boot, definitely hyur.
The other man, a small wormy thing, a lalafell by the looks, sneered, "Considerin' 'e's left it 'ere, I'd say so." They both chuckled to themselves, hopping off the caravan. The little one spoke again, "Won' 'e surprised when 'im and 'is pop both get clobbered in?"
The hyur replied, "Can' be surprised if yer dead." The chuckled again as they loaded the magitek onto the caravan.

Nahue frowned, whispering under his breath, "Called it." He pulled out a miniature telescope from one of his pouches under his coat, checking to see the contents of the caravan. "Arseholes still brought the money with them!" He smirked, thinking to himself. He crawled silently to the edge of the cliffside, hopping down as quietly as possible. He froze for a moment, waiting to see if they had heard him. They hadn't. He stealthy maneuvered around the other side of the caravan. While the two thugs were busy securing the mech, he quietly slipped in, grabbed the pouch full of gil and slid back out. Nahue made sure to be very careful to not let the purse jingle as he slipped it under his cloak. He grinned, listening for a moment. Pure silence. He went pale, turning to see the men facing him.

"Oi! Think yer goin' somewhere lad?" The lalafell spat.
Nahue folded his arms,leaning back against the wagon. "No, but I imagine you will be." The men seemed confused, looking to each other. Nahue's ears perked as the sound of chain and metal approached, "Right on time too." Nahue pointed behind the two men; they looked to see the Lominsian guard approaching on their Chocobos.

"HALT!" The two men shrieked, heading off in different directions. Nahue held his hands up as the guards approached, "I told you sirs, there were going to be some men out here smuggling," He paused, pointing in both directions, "Just doing my duty, they each ran in opposite directions." The guards nodded, chasing after the men. "Can't believe they didn't see that one coming," Nahu muttered, as he walked towards Limsa, to get his father, and their belongings, out of the city. </spoiler>

====Year One====
<spoiler>Before Dalamud falls, Nahue sneaks aboard the vessel Shining Hope to escape imminent destruction. He spent two weeks undetected on the vessel, sneaking food and supplies from the passengers who had now settled on the island called Menphina's Breath. One evening he stumbled through a female Miqo'te's campsite, named Manari at which point he fled and she gave chase. Upon being caught by her, she welcomed him with open arms. As the weeks went by, they became close, spending all of their time together. Nahue worked tirelessly to keep up with Manari on her hunts, learning how to track, to navigate silently through the forest and to fire a bow and arrow. It was almost inevitable it seemed, that the two would form a deep and profound relationship that would grow stronger in the years that followed.

Towards the end of the cycle, she gives birth to a healthy baby boy. She names him Ithki, after a boy in her tribe she loved upon Nahue's suggestion.</spoiler>

[[File:Nahman.jpg|500px|center|Nahue and Manari star-gazing on Menphina's Breath by a-fools-paradise @ A&C]]

====Year Two====
<spoiler>
Nahue learns the ways of parenthood after Manari's child is born. They both begin to understand the responsibilities of being a parent. Nahue is always eager to assist his mate and comes to love her child as if it was his own. After moving to the village for her child, Manari pushes for a return to the mainland and Nahue eagerly agrees, wanting to visit his childhood home and pick up a few things. Once back on the mainland, they stay in Limsa Lominsa briefly to allow Nahue to visit his father's shop, picking up a few needed supplies and his gil savings from the job he completed prior to his departure. He returns home to find it destroyed, only able to salvage a few essentials and some of the money that he had. This sends him into a minor depression until he learns that his father is still alive. He leaves a note for him and makes leave for the Black Shroud with Manari.

They arrive to find things both better, and different. Nahue consoles his mate through the adjustment of a changed home and is able to afford a residence and a small workshop in Gridania where the three of them start a happy life as a normal family.
</spoiler>

====Year Three====
<spoiler>

As Nahue settles in to his new life in Gridania, his mate strives to return to the woods to restore her home. After some convincing, he relents, wishing her to do what makes her happy, even if it might be dangerous. In a short amount of time, his workshop is set up properly. Using his father's standards to run his business he quickly becomes successful, even hiring on a few apprentices to take care of some of the work while he stays at home and helps care for their child while Manari travels the woods.

During a family walk through the woods, they are attacked by Manari's former mentor, Nahkokko. Manari fights back, far more adept at combat than Nahue, while he defends their child. They were able to drive back the small group of poachers that were sent after them, that is, until Nahkokko flanked them, engaging in direct combat with Nahue. During the course of the fight, Nahue had to protect Ithki, diving in front of him as Nahkokko swung her axe, severing his arm and taking it as a trophy before leaving them. Nahu could never blame his mate for the incident, constantly telling her that it was okay, and Ithki was safe and that's all that mattered.

Nahue misses his mate on most nights, as she takes to the woods to resume her training, leaving him at home to care for Ithki. The loss of his arm takes a toll on him, unable to work as he once did, he leaves his employees to do most of the labor his profession required.

He falls into a deep depression during this time, at which point Nahkokko launched an attack on Manari while she was in the Twelveswood, and on Nahue while he was at home in Gridania. He entered their home, taunting Nahue and his injury. She injured him and knocked him unconscious, waking shortly after Manari made it home, with Ithki nowhere to be found.

Manari left home immediately, not returning for suns while Nahue stayed home and regained his strength, all while grieving for his mate, and their child. Upon her return home, she was broken, hysterical and covered in grime and blood. He cleaned her up, consoling her as best as he could during this traumatic time. Nahue and Manari's relationship grew strained, Manari, now unable to listen to anything Nahue had to say, had gone on nightly trips hunting the Twelveswood. Unsure of what to do, Nahue tried to be there for her as best as he could, and during the day, returned to work, where he slowly began finding his passion again.

It didn't take him long to develop a basic prostethic for his missing limb. It was non-mechanical, but it hid his injury in public and helped him escape his depression.

==== Abilities ====

*Conjurer - Nahue's biological parents were very adept at healing magicks, and he was gifted with some abilities in that area. Ivan has pushed him to pursue this art, after noticing he had a natural ability with conjury. While he grasps the concepts, he doesn't quite understand it. He isn't much of a fighter, so the instances in where he can practice it is very slim. As such, he is still very inexperienced in this field.

*Alchemist - From a young age, his father took him out to gather herbs and reagents, learning the various types and their properties. As he grew, his father teached him how to transmogrify, brew, concoct and create wonderful things. It always fascinated him, and he found he had a knack for it. Nahue has spent many cycles developing and perfecting his talent, using much of his spare time to experiment.

*Mechanician/Magitek Engineer - Another trade taught by Ivan as Nahue grew up. Nahue has always loved working on things, disassembling them, figuring out how things work, whether it is a simple pulley system, or a complex engine. His desire to learn more has always been difficult, with the taboo around magitek. He has had to learn many things in secret, often in his father's basement. Even with the risk of being caught, Nahue and his father have always enjoyed exploring the intricacies of magitek and machines in general.

*Scrapper (Pugilist) - Nahue has never been a fighter, using it only in self-defense. His abilities are very novice, as he is mostly self-taught. He tends to use whatever is around him as a weapon, or a distraction. On most occasions, he will use a wrench from his tool belt. His technique is sloppy, and unbalanced.

====Weaknesses====

*Nahue is dyslexic, and as a result, he never bothered to learn how to read. This will often get him lost when exploring, as he can't read signs for directions. He has to memorize landmarks and specific areas for navigation. This has also made learning difficult, as he has to have hands on experience, rather than reading a book to obtain knowledge or information.<br>
*Trusting of others, almost to a fault. He will confide in someone completely and utterly before getting to know them as well as he should. Because of this, he often gets his hopes up very easily for things, and it hits him much harder when things don't go as planned.<br>

==== Appearance ====

'''Height:''' 5 fulms 8 ilms.

'''Weight:''' ~135 ponz.

'''Body:''' Slender yet toned.

'''Hair:''' Silver with platinum highlights. Scruffy.

'''Eyes:''' Silver.

'''Skin:''' Light Chocolate

'''Scars/Markings:''' Where his right arm used to be is now a stump. There is a large scar on his upper arm where it was severed. In public, he uses a prosthetic, wearing his overcoat and a glove to hide the injury.

'''Clothes:''' Standard clothes for a mechanic. Usually just overalls, a pair of work boots, gloves, and goggles.

'''Voice:''' Soft, but warm. Easy on the ears. He will often shorten words in speech, combine words that normally aren't used together, and use slang.

He shook that thought from his head, "One step at a time," he thought. Right now, he needed to drop off the note that would let them know where he was leaving the item in question.

His pace quickened as the wind picked up. It was a chilly night, and with the ocean winds, it hit straight to the bone. He approached the drop location, sliding the note between two wooden boards, looking for a moment before pulling out a small envelope hidden underneath. The location in general was well hidden, and the drop spot wouldn't be noticeable at first glance, only to those who actively looked for something there would see it. He exhaled sharply, returning to his father's shop while opening the envelope. The first half of the payment was inside, the other half to be designated after they get the item. "Time to get it," he thought as he briskly walked back through the alleyways. A thought did cross his mind however, taking the first half of the payment and skipping town, though, that'd put his father in danger, and they'd surely track him down. Not a good idea by any means.

Nahue arrived at the shop shortly thereafter, heading down in the basement where it resided. He glanced at the large object, hidden under a tarp. He grabbed one end of the cloth, pulling it away slowly. As the tarp fell away, it revealed the waist and legs of a large magitek mech. Nahue had been working on it for awhile, attempting to make it work without the chassis, to no avail. His buyer might have better luck, but with Dalamud approaching, he thought it'd be better to sell the thing and make off with the profits rather than leaving it to rust. He smirked as he gave the machine a final once over, remembering when he had found the thing.

It was only a couple months ago, he was out in La Noscea, scavenging for anything of use for his father's business. He had just climbed up a small rock formation when he had seen smoke rising from the air. Curiousity got the better of him and he quickly rushed over to see what had caused it. To his surprise, it was the wreckage of the mech, surrounded by dead Garlean soldiers. He didn't know what happened to them, nor did he care to. He quickly put out the smoke so no one would discover him, or this piece of tech. A rarity to be sure, a very very illegal one at that. There was no way he'd leave this out here.

He did his best, using nearby tree branches to cover it up before heading off to the nearest camp. Luckily, he was able to find a merchant selling some wares. A few things purchased; a tarp, a wooden board, and a hefty length of rope. After making it back to the wreckage, he laid the wooden board on the ground, and with a bit of science, he managed to prop up the mech on the board using the rope and gravity. He then fastened the mech to the wood, secured it under the tarp, and began pulling. It only took him seven or eight hours to reach Limsa, a lot faster than he thought it would take. By then, he was under the cover of nightfall and easily able to drag it into the city and to the shop.

He grinned as he looked at it, a good memory. He sighed, pulling the tarp back over the magitek, securing it with rope once more. This time he thought ahead, making sure to secure a caravan for that evening. The caravan had already pulled up beside the shop, near the basement door, ready for the pickup. He walked outside, giving a nod to the driver. A friend of his fathers, a trustworthy one at that. They worked together to get the bundled up piece of machinery into the back of the caravan, of which only took 20 minutes. He smiled, giving the driver a handshake, hopping in to the back of the caravan.

"Tha usual place Nahu?" The man grunted from the front of the wagon.
Nahu whispered, "Aye...Thanks once more for this Gayle."
The old man shrugged, "Leas' I could do for Ivan's son."

Gayle, was one of Ivan's oldest friends, always willing to help out his family as needed, and Nahue was no exception. Gayle had done a few runs like this with Nahu, helping out the Tanners whenever needed, and it wasn't without due compensation either. Nahue would make sure of that, especially with this drop.

They headed off, out of Limsa to the spot designated by Nahue where the magitek would be dropped off. Nahue and Gayle loaded the machine off the wagon, near a cliffside, not noticeable from the road. He opened his envelope and poured the contents into his hands; a hefty amount of gil. He tossed Gayle one of the smaller coins and nodded, "I'll walk back." The man nodded in return, heading back to his wagon and driving off back to Limsa.

Nahue looked around the area where the treasure lay, trying to find a spot to hide. He saw a nice outcropping of rocks just atop the cliffside, only about seven feet up too, an easy climb. He gracefully grabbed a hold of the formation, scaling it with ease. Slowly he moved to the rocks, kneeling down to hide. Here he would wait for the men to pick up their prize, here he would wait for the rest of his money..

Nahue didn't mind the two hour wait ahead of him. There wasn't a cloud in the sky; every single star was crisp and bright, minus the ones near Dalamud. He enjoyed the moonlight, it was peaceful and calm that night, with only an odd bird chirp or two throughout the night. He took a deep breath and exhaled, relaxing, waiting in anticipation for the men to arrive. He had a feeling that the other party wouldn't hold up their end of the bargain, first payment or not. These were the types to pay you, get what they want, then kill you and take their money back. "Not this time," Nahu thought. His ears perked up towards some voices in the distance, "That must be them," he thought once more. He fidgeted, waiting to see them appear from the darkness. There were two men, wheeling a caravan of their own, torches in their hands. Odd thing to see, when you are someone who doesn't want to get noticed. He shrugged to himself, waiting for them to approach.

"Ya fink tha' lad'll actually believe 'e's getten' his money?" One of the men spoke; it was the one on the left, pretty tall, rotund to boot, definitely hyur.
The other man, a small wormy thing, a lalafell by the looks, sneered, "Considerin' 'e's left it 'ere, I'd say so." They both chuckled to themselves, hopping off the caravan. The little one spoke again, "Won' 'e surprised when 'im and 'is pop both get clobbered in?"
The hyur replied, "Can' be surprised if yer dead." The chuckled again as they loaded the magitek onto the caravan.

Nahue frowned, whispering under his breath, "Called it." He pulled out a miniature telescope from one of his pouches under his coat, checking to see the contents of the caravan. "Arseholes still brought the money with them!" He smirked, thinking to himself. He crawled silently to the edge of the cliffside, hopping down as quietly as possible. He froze for a moment, waiting to see if they had heard him. They hadn't. He stealthy maneuvered around the other side of the caravan. While the two thugs were busy securing the mech, he quietly slipped in, grabbed the pouch full of gil and slid back out. Nahue made sure to be very careful to not let the purse jingle as he slipped it under his cloak. He grinned, listening for a moment. Pure silence. He went pale, turning to see the men facing him.

"Oi! Think yer goin' somewhere lad?" The lalafell spat.
Nahue folded his arms,leaning back against the wagon. "No, but I imagine you will be." The men seemed confused, looking to each other. Nahue's ears perked as the sound of chain and metal approached, "Right on time too." Nahue pointed behind the two men; they looked to see the Lominsian guard approaching on their Chocobos.

"HALT!" The two men shrieked, heading off in different directions. Nahue held his hands up as the guards approached, "I told you sirs, there were going to be some men out here smuggling," He paused, pointing in both directions, "Just doing my duty, they each ran in opposite directions." The guards nodded, chasing after the men. "Can't believe they didn't see that one coming," Nahu muttered, as he walked towards Limsa, to get his father, and their belongings, out of the city. </spoiler>

====Year One====
<spoiler>Before Dalamud falls, Nahue sneaks aboard the vessel Shining Hope to escape imminent destruction. He spent two weeks undetected on the vessel, sneaking food and supplies from the passengers who had now settled on the island called Menphina's Breath. One evening he stumbled through a female Miqo'te's campsite, named Manari at which point he fled and she gave chase. Upon being caught by her, she welcomed him with open arms. As the weeks went by, they became close, spending all of their time together. Nahue worked tirelessly to keep up with Manari on her hunts, learning how to track, to navigate silently through the forest and to fire a bow and arrow. It was almost inevitable it seemed, that the two would form a deep and profound relationship that would grow stronger in the years that followed.

Towards the end of the cycle, she gives birth to a healthy baby boy. She names him Ithki, after a boy in her tribe she loved upon Nahue's suggestion.</spoiler>

[[File:Nahman.jpg|500px|center|Nahue and Manari star-gazing on Menphina's Breath by a-fools-paradise @ A&C]]

====Year Two====
<spoiler>
Nahue learns the ways of parenthood after Manari's child is born. They both begin to understand the responsibilities of being a parent. Nahue is always eager to assist his mate and comes to love her child as if it was his own. After moving to the village for her child, Manari pushes for a return to the mainland and Nahue eagerly agrees, wanting to visit his childhood home and pick up a few things. Once back on the mainland, they stay in Limsa Lominsa briefly to allow Nahue to visit his father's shop, picking up a few needed supplies and his gil savings from the job he completed prior to his departure. He returns home to find it destroyed, only able to salvage a few essentials and some of the money that he had. This sends him into a minor depression until he learns that his father is still alive. He leaves a note for him and makes leave for the Black Shroud with Manari.

They arrive to find things both better, and different. Nahue consoles his mate through the adjustment of a changed home and is able to afford a residence and a small workshop in Gridania where the three of them start a happy life as a normal family.
</spoiler>

====Year Three====
<spoiler>

As Nahue settles in to his new life in Gridania, his mate strives to return to the woods to restore her home. After some convincing, he relents, wishing her to do what makes her happy, even if it might be dangerous. In a short amount of time, his workshop is set up properly. Using his father's standards to run his business he quickly becomes successful, even hiring on a few apprentices to take care of some of the work while he stays at home and helps care for their child while Manari travels the woods.

During a family walk through the woods, they are attacked by Manari's former mentor, Nahkokko. Manari fights back, far more adept at combat than Nahue, while he defends their child. They were able to drive back the small group of poachers that were sent after them, that is, until Nahkokko flanked them, engaging in direct combat with Nahue. During the course of the fight, Nahue had to protect Ithki, diving in front of him as Nahkokko swung her axe, severing his arm and taking it as a trophy before leaving them. Nahu could never blame his mate for the incident, constantly telling her that it was okay, and Ithki was safe and that's all that mattered.

Nahue misses his mate on most nights, as she takes to the woods to resume her training, leaving him at home to care for Ithki. The loss of his arm takes a toll on him, unable to work as he once did, he leaves his employees to do most of the labor his profession required.

He falls into a deep depression during this time, at which point Nahkokko launched an attack on Manari while she was in the Twelveswood, and on Nahue while he was at home in Gridania. He entered their home, taunting Nahue and his injury. She injured him and knocked him unconscious, waking shortly after Manari made it home, with Ithki nowhere to be found.

Manari left home immediately, not returning for suns while Nahue stayed home and regained his strength, all while grieving for his mate, and their child. Upon her return home, she was broken, hysterical and covered in grime and blood. He cleaned her up, consoling her as best as he could during this traumatic time. Nahue and Manari's relationship grew strained, Manari, now unable to listen to anything Nahue had to say, had gone on nightly trips hunting the Twelveswood. Unsure of what to do, Nahue tried to be there for her as best as he could, and during the day, returned to work, where he slowly began finding his passion again.

It didn't take him long to develop a basic prostethic for his missing limb. It was non-mechanical, but it hid his injury in public and helped him escape his depression.

==== Abilities ====

*Conjurer - Nahue's biological parents were very adept at healing magicks, and he was gifted with some abilities in that area. Ivan has pushed him to pursue this art, after noticing he had a natural ability with conjury. While he grasps the concepts, he doesn't quite understand it. He isn't much of a fighter, so the instances in where he can practice it is very slim. As such, he is still very inexperienced in this field.

*Alchemist - From a young age, his father took him out to gather herbs and reagents, learning the various types and their properties. As he grew, his father teached him how to transmogrify, brew, concoct and create wonderful things. It always fascinated him, and he found he had a knack for it. Nahue has spent many cycles developing and perfecting his talent, using much of his spare time to experiment.

*Mechanician/Magitek Engineer - Another trade taught by Ivan as Nahue grew up. Nahue has always loved working on things, disassembling them, figuring out how things work, whether it is a simple pulley system, or a complex engine. His desire to learn more has always been difficult, with the taboo around magitek. He has had to learn many things in secret, often in his father's basement. Even with the risk of being caught, Nahue and his father have always enjoyed exploring the intricacies of magitek and machines in general.

*Scrapper (Pugilist) - Nahue has never been a fighter, using it only in self-defense. His abilities are very novice, as he is mostly self-taught. He tends to use whatever is around him as a weapon, or a distraction. On most occasions, he will use a wrench from his tool belt. His technique is sloppy, and unbalanced.

====Weaknesses====

*Nahue is dyslexic, and as a result, he never bothered to learn how to read. This will often get him lost when exploring, as he can't read signs for directions. He has to memorize landmarks and specific areas for navigation. This has also made learning difficult, as he has to have hands on experience, rather than reading a book to obtain knowledge or information.<br>
*Trusting of others, almost to a fault. He will confide in someone completely and utterly before getting to know them as well as he should. Because of this, he often gets his hopes up very easily for things, and it hits him much harder when things don't go as planned.<br>

==== Appearance ====

'''Height:''' 5 fulms 8 ilms.

'''Weight:''' ~135 ponz.

'''Body:''' Slender yet toned.

'''Hair:''' Silver with platinum highlights. Scruffy.

'''Eyes:''' Silver.

'''Skin:''' Light Chocolate

'''Scars/Markings:''' Where his right arm used to be is now a stump. There is a large scar on his upper arm where it was severed. In public, he uses a prosthetic, wearing his overcoat and a glove to hide the injury.

'''Clothes:''' Standard clothes for a mechanic. Usually just overalls, a pair of work boots, gloves, and goggles.

'''Voice:''' Soft, but warm. Easy on the ears. He will often shorten words in speech, combine words that normally aren't used together, and use slang.

==== Personality ====

'''Demeanor:'''<br>
:Nahue is a warm and friendly individual when with someone he knows. When he is around strangers or large groups of people he is very shy, rigid and introverted. He will keep to himself and stick to observing unless spoken to. He is a very curious person, often asking many questions and being nosy. Because of this, he may come off as annoying at times, but his intentions are always good.

'''Emotions:'''<br>
:He is almost always smiling, goofing off, and generally being happy. He carries an optimistic outlook on life. He tends to stay calm in most situations, rarely getting angry or upset. If he is, he usually keeps it to himself.

'''Intelligence:'''<br>
:He loves learning new things, very intellectual. He thinks before he speaks. Not very street-smart, but he is learning. As a dyslexic, he never bothered to learn how to read, as it was something that was difficult for him to do. As a result, everything he has learned has been from hands on experience or taught from his father. He loves to experiment on things and tinker with them to learn how the world works and behaves. Because of his learning disability, he has become very observant of the world around him, picking up on things that others usually wouldn't. He has used this to his advantage, learning vicariously through other people's experiences in fields that interest him. Even though he is unable to read and write, he is able to speak fluent Eorzean.

'''Quirks:'''<br>
:When Nahue is embarassed or experiences a moment of awkwardness, he will often stutter.
:When happy or excited, his tail will wiggle or wag. He often hides his tail in his overalls to prevent others from noticing.

'''Alignment:''' [http://www.easydamus.com/trueneutral.html True Neutral]

=== History ===

----
Until the age of 3, he traveled with his birth parents and the rest of his clan by caravan throughout Eorzea. However, one day he decided to wander off and explore on his own. He ended up getting lost and eventually found himself running into a peculiar Hyur by the name of Ivan Tanner. The kind old man took him and raised him as his own.

Ivan is a mechanic and an alchemist by trade, so naturally he apprenticed under him. He quickly developed a love for tools, machinery, gears and gadgets. Anytime his father brought something home, they would spend hours tinkering with it, learning how it works and how to make it work even better than before.

Prior to the Calamity, his father owned a little alchemist/mechanic shop in Limsa Lominsa. He is currently living in Gridania with his mate, [[Manari Onai]], where he runs his own shop in the local marketplace.

<center>
====Pre-Calamity====
<spoiler>Nahue walked through the dark alleys of Limsa Lominsa, Dalamud shining brightly overhead. He wore an overcoat that night, a dark cloak and hood underneath. He carried himself well, a small cadence to his step as his boots scraped against the cobblestone. He slid his hood over his head, concealing his face from view. He had dealt with these men before, but nothing of this size. A dead drop, as usual. It was the safest thing for him and his father. He couldn't risk it otherwise. This was definitely something that would get them both killed.

The terms of the arrangement had already been established the week prior. Tonight, it was setting up the delivery. The item in question was currently sitting in the basement of his father's shop. Not the best place to store something of this kind, but it was the only place he could think of at the time. Getting it to the dead drop location would be another matter entirely. He shook that thought from his head, "One step at a time," he thought. Right now, he needed to drop off the note that would let them know where he was leaving the item in question.

His pace quickened as the wind picked up. It was a chilly night, and with the ocean winds, it hit straight to the bone. He approached the drop location, sliding the note between two wooden boards, looking for a moment before pulling out a small envelope hidden underneath. The location in general was well hidden, and the drop spot wouldn't be noticeable at first glance, only to those who actively looked for something there would see it. He exhaled sharply, returning to his father's shop while opening the envelope. The first half of the payment was inside, the other half to be designated after they get the item. "Time to get it," he thought as he briskly walked back through the alleyways. A thought did cross his mind however, taking the first half of the payment and skipping town, though, that'd put his father in danger, and they'd surely track him down. Not a good idea by any means.

Nahue arrived at the shop shortly thereafter, heading down in the basement where it resided. He glanced at the large object, hidden under a tarp. He grabbed one end of the cloth, pulling it away slowly. As the tarp fell away, it revealed the waist and legs of a large magitek mech. Nahue had been working on it for awhile, attempting to make it work without the chassis, to no avail. His buyer might have better luck, but with Dalamud approaching, he thought it'd be better to sell the thing and make off with the profits rather than leaving it to rust. He smirked as he gave the machine a final once over, remembering when he had found the thing.

It was only a couple months ago, he was out in La Noscea, scavenging for anything of use for his father's business. He had just climbed up a small rock formation when he had seen smoke rising from the air. Curiousity got the better of him and he quickly rushed over to see what had caused it. To his surprise, it was the wreckage of the mech, surrounded by dead Garlean soldiers. He didn't know what happened to them, nor did he care to. He quickly put out the smoke so no one would discover him, or this piece of tech. A rarity to be sure, a very very illegal one at that. There was no way he'd leave this out here.

He did his best, using nearby tree branches to cover it up before heading off to the nearest camp. Luckily, he was able to find a merchant selling some wares. A few things purchased; a tarp, a wooden board, and a hefty length of rope. After making it back to the wreckage, he laid the wooden board on the ground, and with a bit of science, he managed to prop up the mech on the board using the rope and gravity. He then fastened the mech to the wood, secured it under the tarp, and began pulling. It only took him seven or eight hours to reach Limsa, a lot faster than he thought it would take. By then, he was under the cover of nightfall and easily able to drag it into the city and to the shop.

He grinned as he looked at it, a good memory. He sighed, pulling the tarp back over the magitek, securing it with rope once more. This time he thought ahead, making sure to secure a caravan for that evening. The caravan had already pulled up beside the shop, near the basement door, ready for the pickup. He walked outside, giving a nod to the driver. A friend of his fathers, a trustworthy one at that. They worked together to get the bundled up piece of machinery into the back of the caravan, of which only took 20 minutes. He smiled, giving the driver a handshake, hopping in to the back of the caravan.

"Tha usual place Nahu?" The man grunted from the front of the wagon.
Nahu whispered, "Aye...Thanks once more for this Gayle."
The old man shrugged, "Leas' I could do for Ivan's son."

Gayle, was one of Ivan's oldest friends, always willing to help out his family as needed, and Nahue was no exception. Gayle had done a few runs like this with Nahu, helping out the Tanners whenever needed, and it wasn't without due compensation either. Nahue would make sure of that, especially with this drop.

They headed off, out of Limsa to the spot designated by Nahue where the magitek would be dropped off. Nahue and Gayle loaded the machine off the wagon, near a cliffside, not noticeable from the road. He opened his envelope and poured the contents into his hands; a hefty amount of gil. He tossed Gayle one of the smaller coins and nodded, "I'll walk back." The man nodded in return, heading back to his wagon and driving off back to Limsa.

Nahue looked around the area where the treasure lay, trying to find a spot to hide. He saw a nice outcropping of rocks just atop the cliffside, only about seven feet up too, an easy climb. He gracefully grabbed a hold of the formation, scaling it with ease. Slowly he moved to the rocks, kneeling down to hide. Here he would wait for the men to pick up their prize, here he would wait for the rest of his money..

Nahue didn't mind the two hour wait ahead of him. There wasn't a cloud in the sky; every single star was crisp and bright, minus the ones near Dalamud. He enjoyed the moonlight, it was peaceful and calm that night, with only an odd bird chirp or two throughout the night. He took a deep breath and exhaled, relaxing, waiting in anticipation for the men to arrive. He had a feeling that the other party wouldn't hold up their end of the bargain, first payment or not. These were the types to pay you, get what they want, then kill you and take their money back. "Not this time," Nahu thought. His ears perked up towards some voices in the distance, "That must be them," he thought once more. He fidgeted, waiting to see them appear from the darkness. There were two men, wheeling a caravan of their own, torches in their hands. Odd thing to see, when you are someone who doesn't want to get noticed. He shrugged to himself, waiting for them to approach.

"Ya fink tha' lad'll actually believe 'e's getten' his money?" One of the men spoke; it was the one on the left, pretty tall, rotund to boot, definitely hyur.
The other man, a small wormy thing, a lalafell by the looks, sneered, "Considerin' 'e's left it 'ere, I'd say so." They both chuckled to themselves, hopping off the caravan. The little one spoke again, "Won' 'e surprised when 'im and 'is pop both get clobbered in?"
The hyur replied, "Can' be surprised if yer dead." The chuckled again as they loaded the magitek onto the caravan.

Nahue frowned, whispering under his breath, "Called it." He pulled out a miniature telescope from one of his pouches under his coat, checking to see the contents of the caravan. "Arseholes still brought the money with them!" He smirked, thinking to himself. He crawled silently to the edge of the cliffside, hopping down as quietly as possible. He froze for a moment, waiting to see if they had heard him. They hadn't. He stealthy maneuvered around the other side of the caravan. While the two thugs were busy securing the mech, he quietly slipped in, grabbed the pouch full of gil and slid back out. Nahue made sure to be very careful to not let the purse jingle as he slipped it under his cloak. He grinned, listening for a moment. Pure silence. He went pale, turning to see the men facing him.

"Oi! Think yer goin' somewhere lad?" The lalafell spat.
Nahue folded his arms,leaning back against the wagon. "No, but I imagine you will be." The men seemed confused, looking to each other. Nahue's ears perked as the sound of chain and metal approached, "Right on time too." Nahue pointed behind the two men; they looked to see the Lominsian guard approaching on their Chocobos.

"HALT!" The two men shrieked, heading off in different directions. Nahue held his hands up as the guards approached, "I told you sirs, there were going to be some men out here smuggling," He paused, pointing in both directions, "Just doing my duty, they each ran in opposite directions." The guards nodded, chasing after the men. "Can't believe they didn't see that one coming," Nahu muttered, as he walked towards Limsa, to get his father, and their belongings, out of the city. </spoiler>

====Year One====
<spoiler>Before Dalamud falls, Nahue sneaks aboard the vessel Shining Hope to escape imminent destruction. He spent two weeks undetected on the vessel, sneaking food and supplies from the passengers who had now settled on the island called Menphina's Breath. One evening he stumbled through a female Miqo'te's campsite, named Manari at which point he fled and she gave chase. Upon being caught by her, she welcomed him with open arms. As the weeks went by, they became close, spending all of their time together. Nahue worked tirelessly to keep up with Manari on her hunts, learning how to track, to navigate silently through the forest and to fire a bow and arrow. It was almost inevitable it seemed, that the two would form a deep and profound relationship that would grow stronger in the years that followed.

Towards the end of the cycle, she gives birth to a healthy baby boy. She names him Ithki, after a boy in her tribe she loved upon Nahue's suggestion.</spoiler>

====Year Two====
<spoiler>
Nahue learns the ways of parenthood after Manari's child is born. They both begin to understand the responsibilities of being a parent. Nahue is always eager to assist his mate and comes to love her child as if it was his own. After moving to the village for her child, Manari pushes for a return to the mainland and Nahue eagerly agrees, wanting to visit his childhood home and pick up a few things. Once back on the mainland, they stay in Limsa Lominsa briefly to allow Nahue to visit his father's shop, picking up a few needed supplies and his gil savings from the job he completed prior to his departure. He returns home to find it destroyed, only able to salvage a few essentials and some of the money that he had. This sends him into a minor depression until he learns that his father is still alive. He leaves a note for him and makes leave for the Black Shroud with Manari.

They arrive to find things both better, and different. Nahue consoles his mate through the adjustment of a changed home and is able to afford a residence and a small workshop in Gridania where the three of them start a happy life as a normal family.
</spoiler>

====Year Three====
<spoiler>

As Nahue settles in to his new life in Gridania, his mate strives to return to the woods to restore her home. After some convincing, he relents, wishing her to do what makes her happy, even if it might be dangerous. In a short amount of time, his workshop is set up properly. Using his father's standards to run his business he quickly becomes successful, even hiring on a few apprentices to take care of some of the work while he stays at home and helps care for their child while Manari travels the woods.

During a family walk through the woods, they are attacked by Manari's former mentor, Nahkokko. Manari fights back, far more adept at combat than Nahue, while he defends their child. They were able to drive back the small group of poachers that were sent after them, that is, until Nahkokko flanked them, engaging in direct combat with Nahue. During the course of the fight, Nahue had to protect Ithki, diving in front of him as Nahkokko swung her axe, severing his arm and taking it as a trophy before leaving them. Nahu could never blame his mate for the incident, constantly telling her that it was okay, and Ithki was safe and that's all that mattered.

Nahue misses his mate on most nights, as she takes to the woods to resume her training, leaving him at home to care for Ithki. The loss of his arm takes a toll on him, unable to work as he once did, he leaves his employees to do most of the labor his profession required.

He falls into a deep depression during this time, at which point Nahkokko launched an attack on Manari while she was in the Twelveswood, and on Nahue while he was at home in Gridania. He entered their home, taunting Nahue and his injury. She injured him and knocked him unconscious, waking shortly after Manari made it home, with Ithki nowhere to be found.

Manari left home immediately, not returning for suns while Nahue stayed home and regained his strength, all while grieving for his mate, and their child. Upon her return home, she was broken, hysterical and covered in grime and blood. He cleaned her up, consoling her as best as he could during this traumatic time. Nahue and Manari's relationship grew strained, Manari, now unable to listen to anything Nahue had to say, had gone on nightly trips hunting the Twelveswood. Unsure of what to do, Nahue tried to be there for her as best as he could, and during the day, returned to work, where he slowly began finding his passion again.

It didn't take him long to develop a basic prostethic for his missing limb. It was non-mechanical, but it hid his injury in public and helped him escape his depression.

==== Abilities ====

*Conjurer - Nahue's biological parents were very adept at healing magicks, and he was gifted with some abilities in that area. Ivan has pushed him to pursue this art, after noticing he had a natural ability with conjury. While he grasps the concepts, he doesn't quite understand it. He isn't much of a fighter, so the instances in where he can practice it is very slim. As such, he is still very inexperienced in this field.

*Alchemist - From a young age, his father took him out to gather herbs and reagents, learning the various types and their properties. As he grew, his father teached him how to transmogrify, brew, concoct and create wonderful things. It always fascinated him, and he found he had a knack for it. Nahue has spent many cycles developing and perfecting his talent, using much of his spare time to experiment.

*Mechanician/Magitek Engineer - Another trade taught by Ivan as Nahue grew up. Nahue has always loved working on things, disassembling them, figuring out how things work, whether it is a simple pulley system, or a complex engine. His desire to learn more has always been difficult, with the taboo around magitek. He has had to learn many things in secret, often in his father's basement. Even with the risk of being caught, Nahue and his father have always enjoyed exploring the intricacies of magitek and machines in general.

*Scrapper (Pugilist) - Nahue has never been a fighter, using it only in self-defense. His abilities are very novice, as he is mostly self-taught. He tends to use whatever is around him as a weapon, or a distraction. On most occasions, he will use a wrench from his tool belt. His technique is sloppy, and unbalanced.

====Weaknesses====

*Nahue is dyslexic, and as a result, he never bothered to learn how to read. This will often get him lost when exploring, as he can't read signs for directions. He has to memorize landmarks and specific areas for navigation. This has also made learning difficult, as he has to have hands on experience, rather than reading a book to obtain knowledge or information.<br>
*Trusting of others, almost to a fault. He will confide in someone completely and utterly before getting to know them as well as he should. Because of this, he often gets his hopes up very easily for things, and it hits him much harder when things don't go as planned.<br>

==== Appearance ====

'''Height:''' 5 fulms 8 ilms.

'''Weight:''' ~135 ponz.

'''Body:''' Slender yet toned.

'''Hair:''' Silver with platinum highlights. Scruffy.

'''Eyes:''' Silver.

'''Skin:''' Light Chocolate

'''Scars/Markings:''' Where his right arm used to be is now a stump. There is a large scar on his upper arm where it was severed. In public, he uses a prosthetic, wearing his overcoat and a glove to hide the injury.

'''Clothes:''' Standard clothes for a mechanic. Usually just overalls, a pair of work boots, gloves, and goggles.

'''Voice:''' Soft, but warm. Easy on the ears. He will often shorten words in speech, combine words that normally aren't used together, and use slang.

==== Personality ====

'''Demeanor:'''<br>
:Nahue is a warm and friendly individual when with someone he knows. When he is around strangers or large groups of people he is very shy, rigid and introverted. He will keep to himself and stick to observing unless spoken to. He is a very curious person, often asking many questions and being nosy. Because of this, he may come off as annoying at times, but his intentions are always good.

'''Emotions:'''<br>
:He is almost always smiling, goofing off, and generally being happy. He carries an optimistic outlook on life. He tends to stay calm in most situations, rarely getting angry or upset. If he is, he usually keeps it to himself.

'''Intelligence:'''<br>
:He loves learning new things, very intellectual. He thinks before he speaks. Not very street-smart, but he is learning. As a dyslexic, he never bothered to learn how to read, as it was something that was difficult for him to do. As a result, everything he has learned has been from hands on experience or taught from his father. He loves to experiment on things and tinker with them to learn how the world works and behaves. Because of his learning disability, he has become very observant of the world around him, picking up on things that others usually wouldn't. He has used this to his advantage, learning vicariously through other people's experiences in fields that interest him. Even though he is unable to read and write, he is able to speak fluent Eorzean.

'''Quirks:'''<br>
:When Nahue is embarassed or experiences a moment of awkwardness, he will often stutter.
:When happy or excited, his tail will wiggle or wag. He often hides his tail in his overalls to prevent others from noticing.

'''Alignment:''' [http://www.easydamus.com/trueneutral.html True Neutral]

=== History ===

----
Until the age of 3, he traveled with his birth parents and the rest of his clan by caravan throughout Eorzea. However, one day he decided to wander off and explore on his own. He ended up getting lost and eventually found himself running into a peculiar Hyur by the name of Ivan Tanner. The kind old man took him and raised him as his own.

Ivan is a mechanic and an alchemist by trade, so naturally he apprenticed under him. He quickly developed a love for tools, machinery, gears and gadgets. Anytime his father brought something home, they would spend hours tinkering with it, learning how it works and how to make it work even better than before.

Prior to the Calamity, his father owned a little alchemist/mechanic shop in Limsa Lominsa. He is currently living in Gridania with his mate, [[Manari Onai]], where he runs his own shop in the local marketplace.

<center>
====Pre-Calamity====
<spoiler>Nahue walked through the dark alleys of Limsa Lominsa, Dalamud shining brightly overhead. He wore an overcoat that night, a dark cloak and hood underneath. He carried himself well, a small cadence to his step as his boots scraped against the cobblestone. He slid his hood over his head, concealing his face from view. He had dealt with these men before, but nothing of this size. A dead drop, as usual. It was the safest thing for him and his father. He couldn't risk it otherwise. This was definitely something that would get them both killed.

The terms of the arrangement had already been established the week prior. Tonight, it was setting up the delivery. The item in question was currently sitting in the basement of his father's shop. Not the best place to store something of this kind, but it was the only place he could think of at the time. Getting it to the dead drop location would be another matter entirely. He shook that thought from his head, "One step at a time," he thought. Right now, he needed to drop off the note that would let them know where he was leaving the item in question.

His pace quickened as the wind picked up. It was a chilly night, and with the ocean winds, it hit straight to the bone. He approached the drop location, sliding the note between two wooden boards, looking for a moment before pulling out a small envelope hidden underneath. The location in general was well hidden, and the drop spot wouldn't be noticeable at first glance, only to those who actively looked for something there would see it. He exhaled sharply, returning to his father's shop while opening the envelope. The first half of the payment was inside, the other half to be designated after they get the item. "Time to get it," he thought as he briskly walked back through the alleyways. A thought did cross his mind however, taking the first half of the payment and skipping town, though, that'd put his father in danger, and they'd surely track him down. Not a good idea by any means.

Nahue arrived at the shop shortly thereafter, heading down in the basement where it resided. He glanced at the large object, hidden under a tarp. He grabbed one end of the cloth, pulling it away slowly. As the tarp fell away, it revealed the waist and legs of a large magitek mech. Nahue had been working on it for awhile, attempting to make it work without the chassis, to no avail. His buyer might have better luck, but with Dalamud approaching, he thought it'd be better to sell the thing and make off with the profits rather than leaving it to rust. He smirked as he gave the machine a final once over, remembering when he had found the thing.

It was only a couple months ago, he was out in La Noscea, scavenging for anything of use for his father's business. He had just climbed up a small rock formation when he had seen smoke rising from the air. Curiousity got the better of him and he quickly rushed over to see what had caused it. To his surprise, it was the wreckage of the mech, surrounded by dead Garlean soldiers. He didn't know what happened to them, nor did he care to. He quickly put out the smoke so no one would discover him, or this piece of tech. A rarity to be sure, a very very illegal one at that. There was no way he'd leave this out here.

He did his best, using nearby tree branches to cover it up before heading off to the nearest camp. Luckily, he was able to find a merchant selling some wares. A few things purchased; a tarp, a wooden board, and a hefty length of rope. After making it back to the wreckage, he laid the wooden board on the ground, and with a bit of science, he managed to prop up the mech on the board using the rope and gravity. He then fastened the mech to the wood, secured it under the tarp, and began pulling. It only took him seven or eight hours to reach Limsa, a lot faster than he thought it would take. By then, he was under the cover of nightfall and easily able to drag it into the city and to the shop.

He grinned as he looked at it, a good memory. He sighed, pulling the tarp back over the magitek, securing it with rope once more. This time he thought ahead, making sure to secure a caravan for that evening. The caravan had already pulled up beside the shop, near the basement door, ready for the pickup. He walked outside, giving a nod to the driver. A friend of his fathers, a trustworthy one at that. They worked together to get the bundled up piece of machinery into the back of the caravan, of which only took 20 minutes. He smiled, giving the driver a handshake, hopping in to the back of the caravan.

"Tha usual place Nahu?" The man grunted from the front of the wagon.
Nahu whispered, "Aye...Thanks once more for this Gayle."
The old man shrugged, "Leas' I could do for Ivan's son."

Gayle, was one of Ivan's oldest friends, always willing to help out his family as needed, and Nahue was no exception. Gayle had done a few runs like this with Nahu, helping out the Tanners whenever needed, and it wasn't without due compensation either. Nahue would make sure of that, especially with this drop.

They headed off, out of Limsa to the spot designated by Nahue where the magitek would be dropped off. Nahue and Gayle loaded the machine off the wagon, near a cliffside, not noticeable from the road. He opened his envelope and poured the contents into his hands; a hefty amount of gil. He tossed Gayle one of the smaller coins and nodded, "I'll walk back." The man nodded in return, heading back to his wagon and driving off back to Limsa.

Nahue looked around the area where the treasure lay, trying to find a spot to hide. He saw a nice outcropping of rocks just atop the cliffside, only about seven feet up too, an easy climb. He gracefully grabbed a hold of the formation, scaling it with ease. Slowly he moved to the rocks, kneeling down to hide. Here he would wait for the men to pick up their prize, here he would wait for the rest of his money..

Nahue didn't mind the two hour wait ahead of him. There wasn't a cloud in the sky; every single star was crisp and bright, minus the ones near Dalamud. He enjoyed the moonlight, it was peaceful and calm that night, with only an odd bird chirp or two throughout the night. He took a deep breath and exhaled, relaxing, waiting in anticipation for the men to arrive. He had a feeling that the other party wouldn't hold up their end of the bargain, first payment or not. These were the types to pay you, get what they want, then kill you and take their money back. "Not this time," Nahu thought. His ears perked up towards some voices in the distance, "That must be them," he thought once more. He fidgeted, waiting to see them appear from the darkness. There were two men, wheeling a caravan of their own, torches in their hands. Odd thing to see, when you are someone who doesn't want to get noticed. He shrugged to himself, waiting for them to approach.

"Ya fink tha' lad'll actually believe 'e's getten' his money?" One of the men spoke; it was the one on the left, pretty tall, rotund to boot, definitely hyur.
The other man, a small wormy thing, a lalafell by the looks, sneered, "Considerin' 'e's left it 'ere, I'd say so." They both chuckled to themselves, hopping off the caravan. The little one spoke again, "Won' 'e surprised when 'im and 'is pop both get clobbered in?"
The hyur replied, "Can' be surprised if yer dead." The chuckled again as they loaded the magitek onto the caravan.

Nahue frowned, whispering under his breath, "Called it." He pulled out a miniature telescope from one of his pouches under his coat, checking to see the contents of the caravan. "Arseholes still brought the money with them!" He smirked, thinking to himself. He crawled silently to the edge of the cliffside, hopping down as quietly as possible. He froze for a moment, waiting to see if they had heard him. They hadn't. He stealthy maneuvered around the other side of the caravan. While the two thugs were busy securing the mech, he quietly slipped in, grabbed the pouch full of gil and slid back out. Nahue made sure to be very careful to not let the purse jingle as he slipped it under his cloak. He grinned, listening for a moment. Pure silence. He went pale, turning to see the men facing him.

"Oi! Think yer goin' somewhere lad?" The lalafell spat.
Nahue folded his arms,leaning back against the wagon. "No, but I imagine you will be." The men seemed confused, looking to each other. Nahue's ears perked as the sound of chain and metal approached, "Right on time too." Nahue pointed behind the two men; they looked to see the Lominsian guard approaching on their Chocobos.

"HALT!" The two men shrieked, heading off in different directions. Nahue held his hands up as the guards approached, "I told you sirs, there were going to be some men out here smuggling," He paused, pointing in both directions, "Just doing my duty, they each ran in opposite directions." The guards nodded, chasing after the men. "Can't believe they didn't see that one coming," Nahu muttered, as he walked towards Limsa, to get his father, and their belongings, out of the city. </spoiler>

====Year One====
<spoiler>Before Dalamud falls, Nahue sneaks aboard the vessel Shining Hope to escape imminent destruction. He spent two weeks undetected on the vessel, sneaking food and supplies from the passengers who had now settled on the island called Menphina's Breath. One evening he stumbled through a female Miqo'te's campsite, named Manari at which point he fled and she gave chase. Upon being caught by her, she welcomed him with open arms. As the weeks went by, they became close, spending all of their time together. Nahue worked tirelessly to keep up with Manari on her hunts, learning how to track, to navigate silently through the forest and to fire a bow and arrow. It was almost inevitable it seemed, that the two would form a deep and profound relationship that would grow stronger in the years that followed.

Towards the end of the cycle, she gives birth to a healthy baby boy. She names him Ithki, after a boy in her tribe she loved upon Nahue's suggestion.</spoiler>

He leaves a note for him and makes leave for the Black Shroud with Manari.

They were able to drive back the small group of poachers that were sent after them, that is, until Nahkokko flanked them, engaging in direct combat with Nahue. During the course of the fight, Nahue had to protect Ithki, diving in front of him as Nahkokko swung her axe, severing his arm and taking it as a trophy before leaving them. Nahu could never blame his mate for the incident, constantly telling her that it was okay, and Ithki was safe and that's all that mattered.

Nahue misses his mate on most nights, as she takes to the woods to resume her training, leaving him at home to care for Ithki. The loss of his arm takes a toll on him, unable to work as he once did, he leaves his employees to do most of the labor his profession required.

Nahue and Manari's relationship grew strained, Manari, now unable to listen to anything Nahue had to say, had gone on nightly trips hunting the Twelveswood. Unsure of what to do, Nahue tried to be there for her as best as he could, and during the day, returned to work, where he slowly began finding his passion again.

It didn't take him long to develop a basic prostethic for his missing limb. It was non-mechanical, but it hid his injury in public and helped him escape his depression.

[[File:Nahuebyeiri.png|250px|left|Nahue by Eiri ]]
'''Given name:''' Nahue Tanner
:His given name was given to him by his biological parents, his surname was given to him when he was adopted by Ivan Tanner. His first name doesn't follow typical Seekers naming conventions if only due to Ivan's spelling of it throughout Nahue's life.

'''Pronunciation:''' ''[Na-way Tan-Er]''

'''Nicknames/Aliases:'''<br>
:''Nahu'' - A nickname given to him by close friends and family. <br>
:''Naha'' - Given to him by Ithki, Manari's child. <br>

'''Nameday:''' 11th Sun of the 2nd Astral Moon (3/11)

'''Age:''' 20 cycles.

'''Place of birth:''' Unknown.

'''Current residence:''' Gridania.

'''Home City:''' Limsa Lominsa.

'''Grand Company Allegiance:''' N/A

'''Employment:''' He owns his own workshop in Gridania.

'''Marital Status:''' Seeing someone.

'''Religion/philosophy:''' Being raised by a man of science, Byregot the Builder was always an influence in his life. Him and his father frequently pay their respects to him, as he guides their foray into the scientific field.

'''Laterality:''' Left-handed.

==== Abilities ====

*Conjurer - Nahue's biological parents were very adept at healing magicks, and he was gifted with some abilities in that area. Ivan has pushed him to pursue this art, after noticing he had a natural ability with conjury. While he grasps the concepts, he doesn't quite understand it. He isn't much of a fighter, so the instances in where he can practice it is very slim. As such, he is still very inexperienced in this field.

*Alchemist - From a young age, his father took him out to gather herbs and reagents, learning the various types and their properties. As he grew, his father teached him how to transmogrify, brew, concoct and create wonderful things. It always fascinated him, and he found he had a knack for it. Nahue has spent many cycles developing and perfecting his talent, using much of his spare time to experiment.

*Mechanician/Magitek Engineer - Another trade taught by Ivan as Nahue grew up. Nahue has always loved working on things, disassembling them, figuring out how things work, whether it is a simple pulley system, or a complex engine. His desire to learn more has always been difficult, with the taboo around magitek. He has had to learn many things in secret, often in his father's basement. Even with the risk of being caught, Nahue and his father have always enjoyed exploring the intricacies of magitek and machines in general.

*Scrapper (Pugilist) - Nahue has never been a fighter, using it only in self-defense. His abilities are very novice, as he is mostly self-taught. He tends to use whatever is around him as a weapon, or a distraction. On most occasions, he will use a wrench from his tool belt. His technique is sloppy, and unbalanced.

====Weaknesses====

*Nahue is dyslexic, and as a result, he never bothered to learn how to read. This will often get him lost when exploring, as he can't read signs for directions. He has to memorize landmarks and specific areas for navigation. This has also made learning difficult, as he has to have hands on experience, rather than reading a book to obtain knowledge or information.<br>
*Trusting of others, almost to a fault. He will confide in someone completely and utterly before getting to know them as well as he should. Because of this, he often gets his hopes up very easily for things, and it hits him much harder when things don't go as planned.<br>

==== Appearance ====

'''Height:''' 5 fulms 8 ilms.

'''Weight:''' ~135 ponz.

'''Body:''' Slender yet toned.

'''Hair:''' Silver with platinum highlights. Scruffy.

'''Eyes:''' Silver.

'''Skin:''' Light Chocolate

'''Scars/Markings:''' Where his right arm used to be is now a stump. There is a large scar on his upper arm where it was severed. In public, he uses a prosthetic, wearing his overcoat and a glove to hide the injury.

'''Clothes:''' Standard clothes for a mechanic. Usually just overalls, a pair of work boots, gloves, and goggles.

'''Voice:''' Soft, but warm. Easy on the ears. He will often shorten words in speech, combine words that normally aren't used together, and use slang.

==== Personality ====

'''Demeanor:'''<br>
:Nahue is a warm and friendly individual when with someone he knows. When he is around strangers or large groups of people he is very shy, rigid and introverted. He will keep to himself and stick to observing unless spoken to. He is a very curious person, often asking many questions and being nosy. Because of this, he may come off as annoying at times, but his intentions are always good.

'''Emotions:'''<br>
:He is almost always smiling, goofing off, and generally being happy. He carries an optimistic outlook on life. He tends to stay calm in most situations, rarely getting angry or upset. If he is, he usually keeps it to himself.

'''Intelligence:'''<br>
:He loves learning new things, very intellectual. He thinks before he speaks. Not very street-smart, but he is learning. As a dyslexic, he never bothered to learn how to read, as it was something that was difficult for him to do. As a result, everything he has learned has been from hands on experience or taught from his father. He loves to experiment on things and tinker with them to learn how the world works and behaves. Because of his learning disability, he has become very observant of the world around him, picking up on things that others usually wouldn't. He has used this to his advantage, learning vicariously through other people's experiences in fields that interest him. Even though he is unable to read and write, he is able to speak fluent Eorzean.

'''Quirks:'''<br>
:When Nahue is embarassed or experiences a moment of awkwardness, he will often stutter.
:When happy or excited, his tail will wiggle or wag. He often hides his tail in his overalls to prevent others from noticing.

'''Alignment:''' [http://www.easydamus.com/trueneutral.html True Neutral]

=== History ===

----
Until the age of 3, he traveled with his birth parents and the rest of his clan by caravan throughout Eorzea. However, one day he decided to wander off and explore on his own. He ended up getting lost and eventually found himself running into a peculiar Hyur by the name of Ivan Tanner. The kind old man took him and raised him as his own.

Ivan is a mechanic and an alchemist by trade, so naturally he apprenticed under him. He quickly developed a love for tools, machinery, gears and gadgets. Anytime his father brought something home, they would spend hours tinkering with it, learning how it works and how to make it work even better than before.

Prior to the Calamity, his father owned a little alchemist/mechanic shop in Limsa Lominsa. He is currently living in Gridania with his mate, [[Manari Onai]], where he runs his own shop in the local marketplace.

<center>
====Pre-Calamity====
<spoiler>Nahue walked through the dark alleys of Limsa Lominsa, Dalamud shining brightly overhead. He wore an overcoat that night, a dark cloak and hood underneath. He carried himself well, a small cadence to his step as his boots scraped against the cobblestone. He slid his hood over his head, concealing his face from view. He had dealt with these men before, but nothing of this size. A dead drop, as usual. It was the safest thing for him and his father. He couldn't risk it otherwise. This was definitely something that would get them both killed.

The terms of the arrangement had already been established the week prior. Tonight, it was setting up the delivery. The item in question was currently sitting in the basement of his father's shop. Not the best place to store something of this kind, but it was the only place he could think of at the time. Getting it to the dead drop location would be another matter entirely. He shook that thought from his head, "One step at a time," he thought. Right now, he needed to drop off the note that would let them know where he was leaving the item in question.

His pace quickened as the wind picked up. It was a chilly night, and with the ocean winds, it hit straight to the bone. He approached the drop location, sliding the note between two wooden boards, looking for a moment before pulling out a small envelope hidden underneath. The location in general was well hidden, and the drop spot wouldn't be noticeable at first glance, only to those who actively looked for something there would see it. He exhaled sharply, returning to his father's shop while opening the envelope. The first half of the payment was inside, the other half to be designated after they get the item. "Time to get it," he thought as he briskly walked back through the alleyways. A thought did cross his mind however, taking the first half of the payment and skipping town, though, that'd put his father in danger, and they'd surely track him down. Not a good idea by any means.

Nahue arrived at the shop shortly thereafter, heading down in the basement where it resided. He glanced at the large object, hidden under a tarp. He grabbed one end of the cloth, pulling it away slowly. As the tarp fell away, it revealed the waist and legs of a large magitek mech. Nahue had been working on it for awhile, attempting to make it work without the chassis, to no avail. His buyer might have better luck, but with Dalamud approaching, he thought it'd be better to sell the thing and make off with the profits rather than leaving it to rust. He smirked as he gave the machine a final once over, remembering when he had found the thing.

It was only a couple months ago, he was out in La Noscea, scavenging for anything of use for his father's business. He had just climbed up a small rock formation when he had seen smoke rising from the air. Curiousity got the better of him and he quickly rushed over to see what had caused it. To his surprise, it was the wreckage of the mech, surrounded by dead Garlean soldiers. He didn't know what happened to them, nor did he care to. He quickly put out the smoke so no one would discover him, or this piece of tech. A rarity to be sure, a very very illegal one at that. There was no way he'd leave this out here.

He did his best, using nearby tree branches to cover it up before heading off to the nearest camp. Luckily, he was able to find a merchant selling some wares. A few things purchased; a tarp, a wooden board, and a hefty length of rope. After making it back to the wreckage, he laid the wooden board on the ground, and with a bit of science, he managed to prop up the mech on the board using the rope and gravity. He then fastened the mech to the wood, secured it under the tarp, and began pulling. It only took him seven or eight hours to reach Limsa, a lot faster than he thought it would take. By then, he was under the cover of nightfall and easily able to drag it into the city and to the shop.

He grinned as he looked at it, a good memory. He sighed, pulling the tarp back over the magitek, securing it with rope once more. This time he thought ahead, making sure to secure a caravan for that evening. The caravan had already pulled up beside the shop, near the basement door, ready for the pickup. He walked outside, giving a nod to the driver. A friend of his fathers, a trustworthy one at that. They worked together to get the bundled up piece of machinery into the back of the caravan, of which only took 20 minutes. He smiled, giving the driver a handshake, hopping in to the back of the caravan.

"Tha usual place Nahu?" The man grunted from the front of the wagon.
Nahu whispered, "Aye...Thanks once more for this Gayle."
The old man shrugged, "Leas' I could do for Ivan's son."

Gayle, was one of Ivan's oldest friends, always willing to help out his family as needed, and Nahue was no exception. Gayle had done a few runs like this with Nahu, helping out the Tanners whenever needed, and it wasn't without due compensation either. Nahue would make sure of that, especially with this drop.

They headed off, out of Limsa to the spot designated by Nahue where the magitek would be dropped off. Nahue and Gayle loaded the machine off the wagon, near a cliffside, not noticeable from the road. He opened his envelope and poured the contents into his hands; a hefty amount of gil. He tossed Gayle one of the smaller coins and nodded, "I'll walk back." The man nodded in return, heading back to his wagon and driving off back to Limsa.

Nahue looked around the area where the treasure lay, trying to find a spot to hide. He saw a nice outcropping of rocks just atop the cliffside, only about seven feet up too, an easy climb. He gracefully grabbed a hold of the formation, scaling it with ease. Slowly he moved to the rocks, kneeling down to hide. Here he would wait for the men to pick up their prize, here he would wait for the rest of his money..

Nahue didn't mind the two hour wait ahead of him. There wasn't a cloud in the sky; every single star was crisp and bright, minus the ones near Dalamud. He enjoyed the moonlight, it was peaceful and calm that night, with only an odd bird chirp or two throughout the night. He took a deep breath and exhaled, relaxing, waiting in anticipation for the men to arrive. He had a feeling that the other party wouldn't hold up their end of the bargain, first payment or not. These were the types to pay you, get what they want, then kill you and take their money back. "Not this time," Nahu thought. His ears perked up towards some voices in the distance, "That must be them," he thought once more. He fidgeted, waiting to see them appear from the darkness. There were two men, wheeling a caravan of their own, torches in their hands. Odd thing to see, when you are someone who doesn't want to get noticed. He shrugged to himself, waiting for them to approach.

"Ya fink tha' lad'll actually believe 'e's getten' his money?" One of the men spoke; it was the one on the left, pretty tall, rotund to boot, definitely hyur.
The other man, a small wormy thing, a lalafell by the looks, sneered, "Considerin' 'e's left it 'ere, I'd say so." They both chuckled to themselves, hopping off the caravan. The little one spoke again, "Won' 'e surprised when 'im and 'is pop both get clobbered in?"
The hyur replied, "Can' be surprised if yer dead." The chuckled again as they loaded the magitek onto the caravan.

Nahue frowned, whispering under his breath, "Called it." He pulled out a miniature telescope from one of his pouches under his coat, checking to see the contents of the caravan. "Arseholes still brought the money with them!" He smirked, thinking to himself. He crawled silently to the edge of the cliffside, hopping down as quietly as possible. He froze for a moment, waiting to see if they had heard him. They hadn't. He stealthy maneuvered around the other side of the caravan. While the two thugs were busy securing the mech, he quietly slipped in, grabbed the pouch full of gil and slid back out. Nahue made sure to be very careful to not let the purse jingle as he slipped it under his cloak. He grinned, listening for a moment. Pure silence. He went pale, turning to see the men facing him.

"Oi! Think yer goin' somewhere lad?" The lalafell spat.
Nahue folded his arms,leaning back against the wagon. "No, but I imagine you will be." The men seemed confused, looking to each other. Nahue's ears perked as the sound of chain and metal approached, "Right on time too." Nahue pointed behind the two men; they looked to see the Lominsian guard approaching on their Chocobos.

"HALT!" The two men shrieked, heading off in different directions. Nahue held his hands up as the guards approached, "I told you sirs, there were going to be some men out here smuggling," He paused, pointing in both directions, "Just doing my duty, they each ran in opposite directions." The guards nodded, chasing after the men. "Can't believe they didn't see that one coming," Nahu muttered, as he walked towards Limsa, to get his father, and their belongings, out of the city. </spoiler>

====Year One====
<spoiler>Before Dalamud falls, Nahue sneaks aboard the vessel Shining Hope to escape imminent destruction. He spent two weeks undetected on the vessel, sneaking food and supplies from the passengers who had now settled on the island called Menphina's Breath. One evening he stumbled through a female Miqo'te's campsite, named Manari at which point he fled and she gave chase. Upon being caught by her, she welcomed him with open arms. As the weeks went by, they became close, spending all of their time together. Nahue worked tirelessly to keep up with Manari on her hunts, learning how to track, to navigate silently through the forest and to fire a bow and arrow. It was almost inevitable it seemed, that the two would form a deep and profound relationship that would grow stronger in the years that followed.

Towards the end of the cycle, she gives birth to a healthy baby boy. She names him Ithki, after a boy in her tribe she loved upon Nahue's suggestion.</spoiler>

[[File:Nahman.jpg|500px|center|Nahue and Manari star-gazing on Menphina's Breath by a-fools-paradise @ A&C]]

====Year Two====
<spoiler>
Nahue learns the ways of parenthood after Manari's child is born. They both begin to understand the responsibilities of being a parent. Nahue is always eager to assist his mate and comes to love her child as if it was his own. After moving to the village for her child, Manari pushes for a return to the mainland and Nahue eagerly agrees, wanting to visit his childhood home and pick up a few things. Once back on the mainland, they stay in Limsa Lominsa briefly to allow Nahue to visit his father's shop, picking up a few needed supplies and his gil savings from the job he completed prior to his departure. He returns home to find it destroyed, only able to salvage a few essentials and some of the money that he had. This sends him into a minor depression until he learns that his father is still alive. He leaves a note for him and makes leave for the Black Shroud with Manari.

They arrive to find things both better, and different. Nahue consoles his mate through the adjustment of a changed home and is able to afford a residence and a small workshop in Gridania where the three of them start a happy life as a normal family.
</spoiler>

====Year Three====
<spoiler>

As Nahue settles in to his new life in Gridania, his mate strives to return to the woods to restore her home. After some convincing, he relents, wishing her to do what makes her happy, even if it might be dangerous. In a short amount of time, his workshop is set up properly. Using his father's standards to run his business he quickly becomes successful, even hiring on a few apprentices to take care of some of the work while he stays at home and helps care for their child while Manari travels the woods.

During a family walk through the woods, they are attacked by Manari's former mentor, Nahkokko. Manari fights back, far more adept at combat than Nahue, while he defends their child. They were able to drive back the small group of poachers that were sent after them, that is, until Nahkokko flanked them, engaging in direct combat with Nahue. During the course of the fight, Nahue had to protect Ithki, diving in front of him as Nahkokko swung her axe, severing his arm and taking it as a trophy before leaving them. Nahu could never blame his mate for the incident, constantly telling her that it was okay, and Ithki was safe and that's all that mattered.

Nahue misses his mate on most nights, as she takes to the woods to resume her training, leaving him at home to care for Ithki. The loss of his arm takes a toll on him, unable to work as he once did, he leaves his employees to do most of the labor his profession required.

He falls into a deep depression during this time, at which point Nahkokko launched an attack on Manari while she was in the Twelveswood, and on Nahue while he was at home in Gridania. He entered their home, taunting Nahue and his injury. She injured him and knocked him unconscious, waking shortly after Manari made it home, with Ithki nowhere to be found.

Manari left home immediately, not returning for suns while Nahue stayed home and regained his strength, all while grieving for his mate, and their child. Upon her return home, she was broken, hysterical and covered in grime and blood. He cleaned her up, consoling her as best as he could during this traumatic time. Nahue and Manari's relationship grew strained, Manari, now unable to listen to anything Nahue had to say, had gone on nightly trips hunting the Twelveswood. Unsure of what to do, Nahue tried to be there for her as best as he could, and during the day, returned to work, where he slowly began finding his passion again.

It didn't take him long to develop a basic prostethic for his missing limb. It was non-mechanical, but it hid his injury in public and helped him escape his depression.

==== Abilities ====

*Conjurer - Nahue's biological parents were very adept at healing magicks, and he was gifted with some abilities in that area. Ivan has pushed him to pursue this art, after noticing he had a natural ability with conjury. While he grasps the concepts, he doesn't quite understand it. He isn't much of a fighter, so the instances in where he can practice it is very slim. As such, he is still very inexperienced in this field.

*Alchemist - From a young age, his father took him out to gather herbs and reagents, learning the various types and their properties. As he grew, his father teached him how to transmogrify, brew, concoct and create wonderful things. It always fascinated him, and he found he had a knack for it. Nahue has spent many cycles developing and perfecting his talent, using much of his spare time to experiment.

*Mechanician/Magitek Engineer - Another trade taught by Ivan as Nahue grew up. Nahue has always loved working on things, disassembling them, figuring out how things work, whether it is a simple pulley system, or a complex engine. His desire to learn more has always been difficult, with the taboo around magitek. He has had to learn many things in secret, often in his father's basement. Even with the risk of being caught, Nahue and his father have always enjoyed exploring the intricacies of magitek and machines in general.

*Scrapper (Pugilist) - Nahue has never been a fighter, using it only in self-defense. His abilities are very novice, as he is mostly self-taught. He tends to use whatever is around him as a weapon, or a distraction. On most occasions, he will use a wrench from his tool belt. His technique is sloppy, and unbalanced.

====Weaknesses====

*Nahue is dyslexic, and as a result, he never bothered to learn how to read. This will often get him lost when exploring, as he can't read signs for directions. He has to memorize landmarks and specific areas for navigation. This has also made learning difficult, as he has to have hands on experience, rather than reading a book to obtain knowledge or information.<br>
*Trusting of others, almost to a fault. He will confide in someone completely and utterly before getting to know them as well as he should. Because of this, he often gets his hopes up very easily for things, and it hits him much harder when things don't go as planned.<br>

==== Appearance ====

'''Height:''' 5 fulms 8 ilms.

'''Weight:''' ~145 ponz.

'''Body:''' Slender yet toned.

'''Hair:''' Silver with platinum highlights. Scruffy.

'''Eyes:''' Silver.

'''Skin:''' Light Chocolate

'''Scars/Markings:''' Where his right arm used to be is now a stump. There is a large scar on his upper arm where it was severed. In public, he uses a prosthetic, wearing his overcoat and a glove to hide the injury.

'''Clothes:''' Standard clothes for a mechanic. Usually just overalls, a pair of work boots, gloves, and goggles.

'''Voice:''' Soft, but warm. Easy on the ears. He will often shorten words in speech, combine words that normally aren't used together, and use slang.

==== Personality ====

'''Demeanor:'''<br>
:Nahue is a warm and friendly individual when with someone he knows. When he is around strangers or large groups of people he is very shy, rigid and introverted. He will keep to himself and stick to observing unless spoken to. He is a very curious person, often asking many questions and being nosy. Because of this, he may come off as annoying at times, but his intentions are always good.

'''Emotions:'''<br>
:He is almost always smiling, goofing off, and generally being happy. He carries an optimistic outlook on life. He tends to stay calm in most situations, rarely getting angry or upset. If he is, he usually keeps it to himself.

'''Intelligence:'''<br>
:He loves learning new things, very intellectual. He thinks before he speaks. Not very street-smart, but he is learning. As a dyslexic, he never bothered to learn how to read, as it was something that was difficult for him to do. As a result, everything he has learned has been from hands on experience or taught from his father. He loves to experiment on things and tinker with them to learn how the world works and behaves. Because of his learning disability, he has become very observant of the world around him, picking up on things that others usually wouldn't. He has used this to his advantage, learning vicariously through other people's experiences in fields that interest him. Even though he is unable to read and write, he is able to speak fluent Eorzean.

'''Quirks:'''<br>
:When Nahue is embarassed or experiences a moment of awkwardness, he will often stutter.
:When happy or excited, his tail will wiggle or wag. He often hides his tail in his overalls to prevent others from noticing.

'''Alignment:''' [http://www.easydamus.com/trueneutral.html True Neutral]

=== History ===

----
Until the age of 3, he traveled with his birth parents and the rest of his clan by caravan throughout Eorzea. However, one day he decided to wander off and explore on his own. He ended up getting lost and eventually found himself running into a peculiar Hyur by the name of Ivan Tanner. The kind old man took him and raised him as his own.

Ivan is a mechanic and an alchemist by trade, so naturally he apprenticed under him. He quickly developed a love for tools, machinery, gears and gadgets. Anytime his father brought something home, they would spend hours tinkering with it, learning how it works and how to make it work even better than before.

Prior to the Calamity, his father owned a little alchemist/mechanic shop in Limsa Lominsa. He is currently living in Gridania with his mate, [[Manari Onai]], where he runs his own shop in the local marketplace.

<center>
====Pre-Calamity====
<spoiler>Nahue walked through the dark alleys of Limsa Lominsa, Dalamud shining brightly overhead. He wore an overcoat that night, a dark cloak and hood underneath. He carried himself well, a small cadence to his step as his boots scraped against the cobblestone. He slid his hood over his head, concealing his face from view. He had dealt with these men before, but nothing of this size. A dead drop, as usual. It was the safest thing for him and his father. He couldn't risk it otherwise. This was definitely something that would get them both killed.

The terms of the arrangement had already been established the week prior. Tonight, it was setting up the delivery. The item in question was currently sitting in the basement of his father's shop. Not the best place to store something of this kind, but it was the only place he could think of at the time. Getting it to the dead drop location would be another matter entirely. He shook that thought from his head, "One step at a time," he thought. Right now, he needed to drop off the note that would let them know where he was leaving the item in question.

His pace quickened as the wind picked up. It was a chilly night, and with the ocean winds, it hit straight to the bone. He approached the drop location, sliding the note between two wooden boards, looking for a moment before pulling out a small envelope hidden underneath. The location in general was well hidden, and the drop spot wouldn't be noticeable at first glance, only to those who actively looked for something there would see it. He exhaled sharply, returning to his father's shop while opening the envelope. The first half of the payment was inside, the other half to be designated after they get the item. "Time to get it," he thought as he briskly walked back through the alleyways. A thought did cross his mind however, taking the first half of the payment and skipping town, though, that'd put his father in danger, and they'd surely track him down. Not a good idea by any means.

Nahue arrived at the shop shortly thereafter, heading down in the basement where it resided. He glanced at the large object, hidden under a tarp. He grabbed one end of the cloth, pulling it away slowly. As the tarp fell away, it revealed the waist and legs of a large magitek mech. Nahue had been working on it for awhile, attempting to make it work without the chassis, to no avail. His buyer might have better luck, but with Dalamud approaching, he thought it'd be better to sell the thing and make off with the profits rather than leaving it to rust. He smirked as he gave the machine a final once over, remembering when he had found the thing.

It was only a couple months ago, he was out in La Noscea, scavenging for anything of use for his father's business. He had just climbed up a small rock formation when he had seen smoke rising from the air. Curiousity got the better of him and he quickly rushed over to see what had caused it. To his surprise, it was the wreckage of the mech, surrounded by dead Garlean soldiers. He didn't know what happened to them, nor did he care to. He quickly put out the smoke so no one would discover him, or this piece of tech. A rarity to be sure, a very very illegal one at that. There was no way he'd leave this out here.

He did his best, using nearby tree branches to cover it up before heading off to the nearest camp. Luckily, he was able to find a merchant selling some wares. A few things purchased; a tarp, a wooden board, and a hefty length of rope. After making it back to the wreckage, he laid the wooden board on the ground, and with a bit of science, he managed to prop up the mech on the board using the rope and gravity. He then fastened the mech to the wood, secured it under the tarp, and began pulling. It only took him seven or eight hours to reach Limsa, a lot faster than he thought it would take. By then, he was under the cover of nightfall and easily able to drag it into the city and to the shop.

He grinned as he looked at it, a good memory. He sighed, pulling the tarp back over the magitek, securing it with rope once more. This time he thought ahead, making sure to secure a caravan for that evening. The caravan had already pulled up beside the shop, near the basement door, ready for the pickup. He walked outside, giving a nod to the driver. A friend of his fathers, a trustworthy one at that. They worked together to get the bundled up piece of machinery into the back of the caravan, of which only took 20 minutes. He smiled, giving the driver a handshake, hopping in to the back of the caravan.

"Tha usual place Nahu?" The man grunted from the front of the wagon.
Nahu whispered, "Aye...Thanks once more for this Gayle."
The old man shrugged, "Leas' I could do for Ivan's son."

Gayle, was one of Ivan's oldest friends, always willing to help out his family as needed, and Nahue was no exception. Gayle had done a few runs like this with Nahu, helping out the Tanners whenever needed, and it wasn't without due compensation either. Nahue would make sure of that, especially with this drop.

They headed off, out of Limsa to the spot designated by Nahue where the magitek would be dropped off. Nahue and Gayle loaded the machine off the wagon, near a cliffside, not noticeable from the road. He opened his envelope and poured the contents into his hands; a hefty amount of gil. He tossed Gayle one of the smaller coins and nodded, "I'll walk back." The man nodded in return, heading back to his wagon and driving off back to Limsa.

Nahue looked around the area where the treasure lay, trying to find a spot to hide. He saw a nice outcropping of rocks just atop the cliffside, only about seven feet up too, an easy climb. He gracefully grabbed a hold of the formation, scaling it with ease. Slowly he moved to the rocks, kneeling down to hide. Here he would wait for the men to pick up their prize, here he would wait for the rest of his money..

Nahue didn't mind the two hour wait ahead of him. There wasn't a cloud in the sky; every single star was crisp and bright, minus the ones near Dalamud. He enjoyed the moonlight, it was peaceful and calm that night, with only an odd bird chirp or two throughout the night. He took a deep breath and exhaled, relaxing, waiting in anticipation for the men to arrive. He had a feeling that the other party wouldn't hold up their end of the bargain, first payment or not. These were the types to pay you, get what they want, then kill you and take their money back. "Not this time," Nahu thought. His ears perked up towards some voices in the distance, "That must be them," he thought once more. He fidgeted, waiting to see them appear from the darkness. There were two men, wheeling a caravan of their own, torches in their hands. Odd thing to see, when you are someone who doesn't want to get noticed. He shrugged to himself, waiting for them to approach.

"Ya fink tha' lad'll actually believe 'e's getten' his money?" One of the men spoke; it was the one on the left, pretty tall, rotund to boot, definitely hyur.
The other man, a small wormy thing, a lalafell by the looks, sneered, "Considerin' 'e's left it 'ere, I'd say so." They both chuckled to themselves, hopping off the caravan. The little one spoke again, "Won' 'e surprised when 'im and 'is pop both get clobbered in?"
The hyur replied, "Can' be surprised if yer dead." The chuckled again as they loaded the magitek onto the caravan.

Nahue frowned, whispering under his breath, "Called it." He pulled out a miniature telescope from one of his pouches under his coat, checking to see the contents of the caravan. "Arseholes still brought the money with them!" He smirked, thinking to himself. He crawled silently to the edge of the cliffside, hopping down as quietly as possible. He froze for a moment, waiting to see if they had heard him. They hadn't. He stealthy maneuvered around the other side of the caravan. While the two thugs were busy securing the mech, he quietly slipped in, grabbed the pouch full of gil and slid back out. Nahue made sure to be very careful to not let the purse jingle as he slipped it under his cloak. He grinned, listening for a moment. Pure silence. He went pale, turning to see the men facing him.

"Oi! Think yer goin' somewhere lad?" The lalafell spat.
Nahue folded his arms,leaning back against the wagon. "No, but I imagine you will be." The men seemed confused, looking to each other. Nahue's ears perked as the sound of chain and metal approached, "Right on time too." Nahue pointed behind the two men; they looked to see the Lominsian guard approaching on their Chocobos.

"HALT!" The two men shrieked, heading off in different directions. Nahue held his hands up as the guards approached, "I told you sirs, there were going to be some men out here smuggling," He paused, pointing in both directions, "Just doing my duty, they each ran in opposite directions." The guards nodded, chasing after the men. "Can't believe they didn't see that one coming," Nahu muttered, as he walked towards Limsa, to get his father, and their belongings, out of the city. </spoiler>

====Year One====
<spoiler>Before Dalamud falls, Nahue sneaks aboard the vessel Shining Hope to escape imminent destruction. He spent two weeks undetected on the vessel, sneaking food and supplies from the passengers who had now settled on the island called Menphina's Breath. One evening he stumbled through a female Miqo'te's campsite, named Manari at which point he fled and she gave chase. Upon being caught by her, she welcomed him with open arms. As the weeks went by, they became close, spending all of their time together. Nahue worked tirelessly to keep up with Manari on her hunts, learning how to track, to navigate silently through the forest and to fire a bow and arrow. It was almost inevitable it seemed, that the two would form a deep and profound relationship that would grow stronger in the years that followed.

Towards the end of the cycle, she gives birth to a healthy baby boy. She names him Ithki, after a boy in her tribe she loved upon Nahue's suggestion.</spoiler>

[[File:Nahman.jpg|500px|center|Nahue and Manari star-gazing on Menphina's Breath by a-fools-paradise @ A&C]]

====Year Two====
<spoiler>
Nahue learns the ways of parenthood after Manari's child is born. They both begin to understand the responsibilities of being a parent. Nahue is always eager to assist his mate and comes to love her child as if it was his own. After moving to the village for her child, Manari pushes for a return to the mainland and Nahue eagerly agrees, wanting to visit his childhood home and pick up a few things. Once back on the mainland, they stay in Limsa Lominsa briefly to allow Nahue to visit his father's shop, picking up a few needed supplies and his gil savings from the job he completed prior to his departure. He returns home to find it destroyed, only able to salvage a few essentials and some of the money that he had. This sends him into a minor depression until he learns that his father is still alive. He leaves a note for him and makes leave for the Black Shroud with Manari.

They arrive to find things both better, and different. Nahue consoles his mate through the adjustment of a changed home and is able to afford a residence and a small workshop in Gridania where the three of them start a happy life as a normal family.
</spoiler>

====Year Three====
<spoiler>

As Nahue settles in to his new life in Gridania, his mate strives to return to the woods to restore her home. After some convincing, he relents, wishing her to do what makes her happy, even if it might be dangerous. In a short amount of time, his workshop is set up properly. Using his father's standards to run his business he quickly becomes successful, even hiring on a few apprentices to take care of some of the work while he stays at home and helps care for their child while Manari travels the woods.

During a family walk through the woods, they are attacked by Manari's former mentor, Nahkokko. Manari fights back, far more adept at combat than Nahue, while he defends their child. They were able to drive back the small group of poachers that were sent after them, that is, until Nahkokko flanked them, engaging in direct combat with Nahue. During the course of the fight, Nahue had to protect Ithki, diving in front of him as Nahkokko swung her axe, severing his arm and taking it as a trophy before leaving them. Nahu could never blame his mate for the incident, constantly telling her that it was okay, and Ithki was safe and that's all that mattered.

Nahue misses his mate on most nights, as she takes to the woods to resume her training, leaving him at home to care for Ithki. The loss of his arm takes a toll on him, unable to work as he once did, he leaves his employees to do most of the labor his profession required.

He falls into a deep depression during this time, at which point Nahkokko launched an attack on Manari while she was in the Twelveswood, and on Nahue while he was at home in Gridania. He entered their home, taunting Nahue and his injury. She injured him and knocked him unconscious, waking shortly after Manari made it home, with Ithki nowhere to be found.

Manari left home immediately, not returning for suns while Nahue stayed home and regained his strength, all while grieving for his mate, and their child. Upon her return home, she was broken, hysterical and covered in grime and blood. He cleaned her up, consoling her as best as he could during this traumatic time. Nahue and Manari's relationship grew strained, Manari, now unable to listen to anything Nahue had to say, had gone on nightly trips hunting the Twelveswood. Unsure of what to do, Nahue tried to be there for her as best as he could, and during the day, returned to work, where he slowly began finding his passion again.

It didn't take him long to develop a basic prostethic for his missing limb. It was non-mechanical, but it hid his injury in public and helped him escape his depression.

As he grew, his father teached him how to transmogrify, brew, concoct and create wonderful things. It always fascinated him, and he found he had a knack for it. Nahue has spent many cycles developing and perfecting his talent, using much of his spare time to experiment.

*Mechanician/Magitek Engineer - Another trade taught by Ivan as Nahue grew up. Nahue has always loved working on things, disassembling them, figuring out how things work, whether it is a simple pulley system, or a complex engine. His desire to learn more has always been difficult, with the taboo around magitek. He has had to learn many things in secret, often in his father's basement. Even with the risk of being caught, Nahue and his father have always enjoyed exploring the intricacies of magitek and machines in general.

*Scrapper (Pugilist) - Nahue has never been a fighter, using it only in self-defense. His abilities are very novice, as he is mostly self-taught. He tends to use whatever is around him as a weapon, or a distraction. On most occasions, he will use a wrench from his tool belt. His technique is sloppy, and unbalanced.

====Weaknesses====

*Nahue is dyslexic, and as a result, he never bothered to learn how to read. This will often get him lost when exploring, as he can't read signs for directions. He has to memorize landmarks and specific areas for navigation. This has also made learning difficult, as he has to have hands on experience, rather than reading a book to obtain knowledge or information.<br>
*Trusting of others, almost to a fault. He will confide in someone completely and utterly before getting to know them as well as he should. Because of this, he often gets his hopes up very easily for things, and it hits him much harder when things don't go as planned.<br>

==== Appearance ====

'''Body:''' Slender yet toned.

'''Hair:''' Silver with platinum highlights. Scruffy.

==== Personality ====

'''Demeanor:'''<br>
:Nahue is a warm and friendly individual when with someone he knows. When he is around strangers or large groups of people he is very shy, rigid and introverted. He will keep to himself and stick to observing unless spoken to. He is a very curious person, often asking many questions and being nosy. Because of this, he may come off as annoying at times, but his intentions are always good.

'''Emotions:'''<br>
:He is almost always smiling, goofing off, and generally being happy. He carries an optimistic outlook on life. He tends to stay calm in most situations, rarely getting angry or upset. If he is, he usually keeps it to himself.

'''Intelligence:'''<br>
:He loves learning new things, very intellectual. He thinks before he speaks. Not very street-smart, but he is learning. As a dyslexic, he never bothered to learn how to read, as it was something that was difficult for him to do. As a result, everything he has learned has been from hands on experience or taught from his father. He loves to experiment on things and tinker with them to learn how the world works and behaves. Because of his learning disability, he has become very observant of the world around him, picking up on things that others usually wouldn't. He has used this to his advantage, learning vicariously through other people's experiences in fields that interest him. Even though he is unable to read and write, he is able to speak fluent Eorzean.

'''Quirks:'''<br>
:When Nahue is embarassed or experiences a moment of awkwardness, he will often stutter.
:When happy or excited, his tail will wiggle or wag. He often hides his tail in his overalls to prevent others from noticing.

=== History ===

----
Until the age of 3, he traveled with his birth parents and the rest of his clan by caravan throughout Eorzea. However, one day he decided to wander off and explore on his own. He ended up getting lost and eventually found himself running into a peculiar Hyur by the name of Ivan Tanner. The kind old man took him and raised him as his own.

Ivan is a mechanic and an alchemist by trade, so naturally he apprenticed under him. He quickly developed a love for tools, machinery, gears and gadgets. Anytime his father brought something home, they would spend hours tinkering with it, learning how it works and how to make it work even better than before.

Prior to the Calamity, his father owned a little alchemist/mechanic shop in Limsa Lominsa. He is currently living in Gridania with his mate, [[Manari Onai]], where he runs his own shop in the local marketplace.

<center>
====Pre-Calamity====
<spoiler>Nahue walked through the dark alleys of Limsa Lominsa, Dalamud shining brightly overhead. He wore an overcoat that night, a dark cloak and hood underneath. He carried himself well, a small cadence to his step as his boots scraped against the cobblestone. He slid his hood over his head, concealing his face from view. He had dealt with these men before, but nothing of this size. A dead drop, as usual. It was the safest thing for him and his father. He couldn't risk it otherwise. This was definitely something that would get them both killed.

The terms of the arrangement had already been established the week prior. Tonight, it was setting up the delivery. The item in question was currently sitting in the basement of his father's shop. Not the best place to store something of this kind, but it was the only place he could think of at the time. Getting it to the dead drop location would be another matter entirely. He shook that thought from his head, "One step at a time," he thought. Right now, he needed to drop off the note that would let them know where he was leaving the item in question.

His pace quickened as the wind picked up. It was a chilly night, and with the ocean winds, it hit straight to the bone. He approached the drop location, sliding the note between two wooden boards, looking for a moment before pulling out a small envelope hidden underneath. The location in general was well hidden, and the drop spot wouldn't be noticeable at first glance, only to those who actively looked for something there would see it. He exhaled sharply, returning to his father's shop while opening the envelope. The first half of the payment was inside, the other half to be designated after they get the item. "Time to get it," he thought as he briskly walked back through the alleyways. A thought did cross his mind however, taking the first half of the payment and skipping town, though, that'd put his father in danger, and they'd surely track him down. Not a good idea by any means.

Nahue arrived at the shop shortly thereafter, heading down in the basement where it resided. He glanced at the large object, hidden under a tarp. He grabbed one end of the cloth, pulling it away slowly. As the tarp fell away, it revealed the waist and legs of a large magitek mech. Nahue had been working on it for awhile, attempting to make it work without the chassis, to no avail. His buyer might have better luck, but with Dalamud approaching, he thought it'd be better to sell the thing and make off with the profits rather than leaving it to rust. He smirked as he gave the machine a final once over, remembering when he had found the thing.

It was only a couple months ago, he was out in La Noscea, scavenging for anything of use for his father's business. He had just climbed up a small rock formation when he had seen smoke rising from the air. Curiousity got the better of him and he quickly rushed over to see what had caused it. To his surprise, it was the wreckage of the mech, surrounded by dead Garlean soldiers. He didn't know what happened to them, nor did he care to. He quickly put out the smoke so no one would discover him, or this piece of tech. A rarity to be sure, a very very illegal one at that. There was no way he'd leave this out here.

He did his best, using nearby tree branches to cover it up before heading off to the nearest camp. Luckily, he was able to find a merchant selling some wares. A few things purchased; a tarp, a wooden board, and a hefty length of rope. After making it back to the wreckage, he laid the wooden board on the ground, and with a bit of science, he managed to prop up the mech on the board using the rope and gravity. He then fastened the mech to the wood, secured it under the tarp, and began pulling. It only took him seven or eight hours to reach Limsa, a lot faster than he thought it would take. By then, he was under the cover of nightfall and easily able to drag it into the city and to the shop.

He grinned as he looked at it, a good memory. He sighed, pulling the tarp back over the magitek, securing it with rope once more. This time he thought ahead, making sure to secure a caravan for that evening. The caravan had already pulled up beside the shop, near the basement door, ready for the pickup. He walked outside, giving a nod to the driver. A friend of his fathers, a trustworthy one at that. They worked together to get the bundled up piece of machinery into the back of the caravan, of which only took 20 minutes. He smiled, giving the driver a handshake, hopping in to the back of the caravan.

"Tha usual place Nahu?" The man grunted from the front of the wagon.
Nahu whispered, "Aye...Thanks once more for this Gayle."
The old man shrugged, "Leas' I could do for Ivan's son."

Gayle, was one of Ivan's oldest friends, always willing to help out his family as needed, and Nahue was no exception. Gayle had done a few runs like this with Nahu, helping out the Tanners whenever needed, and it wasn't without due compensation either. Nahue would make sure of that, especially with this drop.

They headed off, out of Limsa to the spot designated by Nahue where the magitek would be dropped off. Nahue and Gayle loaded the machine off the wagon, near a cliffside, not noticeable from the road. He opened his envelope and poured the contents into his hands; a hefty amount of gil. He tossed Gayle one of the smaller coins and nodded, "I'll walk back." The man nodded in return, heading back to his wagon and driving off back to Limsa.

Nahue looked around the area where the treasure lay, trying to find a spot to hide. He saw a nice outcropping of rocks just atop the cliffside, only about seven feet up too, an easy climb. He gracefully grabbed a hold of the formation, scaling it with ease. Slowly he moved to the rocks, kneeling down to hide. Here he would wait for the men to pick up their prize, here he would wait for the rest of his money..

Nahue didn't mind the two hour wait ahead of him. There wasn't a cloud in the sky; every single star was crisp and bright, minus the ones near Dalamud. He enjoyed the moonlight, it was peaceful and calm that night, with only an odd bird chirp or two throughout the night. He took a deep breath and exhaled, relaxing, waiting in anticipation for the men to arrive. He had a feeling that the other party wouldn't hold up their end of the bargain, first payment or not. These were the types to pay you, get what they want, then kill you and take their money back. "Not this time," Nahu thought. His ears perked up towards some voices in the distance, "That must be them," he thought once more. He fidgeted, waiting to see them appear from the darkness. There were two men, wheeling a caravan of their own, torches in their hands. Odd thing to see, when you are someone who doesn't want to get noticed. He shrugged to himself, waiting for them to approach.

"Ya fink tha' lad'll actually believe 'e's getten' his money?" One of the men spoke; it was the one on the left, pretty tall, rotund to boot, definitely hyur.
The other man, a small wormy thing, a lalafell by the looks, sneered, "Considerin' 'e's left it 'ere, I'd say so." They both chuckled to themselves, hopping off the caravan. The little one spoke again, "Won' 'e surprised when 'im and 'is pop both get clobbered in?"
The hyur replied, "Can' be surprised if yer dead." The chuckled again as they loaded the magitek onto the caravan.

Nahue frowned, whispering under his breath, "Called it." He pulled out a miniature telescope from one of his pouches under his coat, checking to see the contents of the caravan. "Arseholes still brought the money with them!" He smirked, thinking to himself. He crawled silently to the edge of the cliffside, hopping down as quietly as possible. He froze for a moment, waiting to see if they had heard him. They hadn't. He stealthy maneuvered around the other side of the caravan. While the two thugs were busy securing the mech, he quietly slipped in, grabbed the pouch full of gil and slid back out. Nahue made sure to be very careful to not let the purse jingle as he slipped it under his cloak. He grinned, listening for a moment. Pure silence. He went pale, turning to see the men facing him.

"Oi! Think yer goin' somewhere lad?" The lalafell spat.
Nahue folded his arms,leaning back against the wagon. "No, but I imagine you will be." The men seemed confused, looking to each other. Nahue's ears perked as the sound of chain and metal approached, "Right on time too." Nahue pointed behind the two men; they looked to see the Lominsian guard approaching on their Chocobos.

"HALT!" The two men shrieked, heading off in different directions. Nahue held his hands up as the guards approached, "I told you sirs, there were going to be some men out here smuggling," He paused, pointing in both directions, "Just doing my duty, they each ran in opposite directions." The guards nodded, chasing after the men. "Can't believe they didn't see that one coming," Nahu muttered, as he walked towards Limsa, to get his father, and their belongings, out of the city. </spoiler>

====Year One====
<spoiler>Before Dalamud falls, Nahue sneaks aboard the vessel Shining Hope to escape imminent destruction. He spent two weeks undetected on the vessel, sneaking food and supplies from the passengers who had now settled on the island called Menphina's Breath. One evening he stumbled through a female Miqo'te's campsite, named Manari at which point he fled and she gave chase. Upon being caught by her, she welcomed him with open arms. As the weeks went by, they became close, spending all of their time together. Nahue worked tirelessly to keep up with Manari on her hunts, learning how to track, to navigate silently through the forest and to fire a bow and arrow. It was almost inevitable it seemed, that the two would form a deep and profound relationship that would grow stronger in the years that followed.

Towards the end of the cycle, she gives birth to a healthy baby boy. She names him Ithki, after a boy in her tribe she loved upon Nahue's suggestion.</spoiler>

[[File:Nahman.jpg|500px|center|Nahue and Manari star-gazing on Menphina's Breath by a-fools-paradise @ A&C]]

====Year Two====
<spoiler>
Nahue learns the ways of parenthood after Manari's child is born. They both begin to understand the responsibilities of being a parent. Nahue is always eager to assist his mate and comes to love her child as if it was his own. After moving to the village for her child, Manari pushes for a return to the mainland and Nahue eagerly agrees, wanting to visit his childhood home and pick up a few things. Once back on the mainland, they stay in Limsa Lominsa briefly to allow Nahue to visit his father's shop, picking up a few needed supplies and his gil savings from the job he completed prior to his departure. He returns home to find it destroyed, only able to salvage a few essentials and some of the money that he had. This sends him into a minor depression until he learns that his father is still alive. He leaves a note for him and makes leave for the Black Shroud with Manari.

They arrive to find things both better, and different. Nahue consoles his mate through the adjustment of a changed home and is able to afford a residence and a small workshop in Gridania where the three of them start a happy life as a normal family.
</spoiler>

====Year Three====
<spoiler>

As Nahue settles in to his new life in Gridania, his mate strives to return to the woods to restore her home. After some convincing, he relents, wishing her to do what makes her happy, even if it might be dangerous. In a short amount of time, his workshop is set up properly. Using his father's standards to run his business he quickly becomes successful, even hiring on a few apprentices to take care of some of the work while he stays at home and helps care for their child while Manari travels the woods.

During a family walk through the woods, they are attacked by Manari's former mentor, Nahkokko. Manari fights back, far more adept at combat than Nahue, while he defends their child. They were able to drive back the small group of poachers that were sent after them, that is, until Nahkokko flanked them, engaging in direct combat with Nahue. During the course of the fight, Nahue had to protect Ithki, diving in front of him as Nahkokko swung her axe, severing his arm and taking it as a trophy before leaving them. Nahu could never blame his mate for the incident, constantly telling her that it was okay, and Ithki was safe and that's all that mattered.

Nahue misses his mate on most nights, as she takes to the woods to resume her training, leaving him at home to care for Ithki. The loss of his arm takes a toll on him, unable to work as he once did, he leaves his employees to do most of the labor his profession required.

He falls into a deep depression during this time, at which point Nahkokko launched an attack on Manari while she was in the Twelveswood, and on Nahue while he was at home in Gridania. He entered their home, taunting Nahue and his injury. She injured him and knocked him unconscious, waking shortly after Manari made it home, with Ithki nowhere to be found.

Manari left home immediately, not returning for suns while Nahue stayed home and regained his strength, all while grieving for his mate, and their child. Upon her return home, she was broken, hysterical and covered in grime and blood. He cleaned her up, consoling her as best as he could during this traumatic time. Nahue and Manari's relationship grew strained, Manari, now unable to listen to anything Nahue had to say, had gone on nightly trips hunting the Twelveswood. Unsure of what to do, Nahue tried to be there for her as best as he could, and during the day, returned to work, where he slowly began finding his passion again.

It didn't take him long to develop a basic prostethic for his missing limb. It was non-mechanical, but it hid his injury in public and helped him escape his depression.

*Conjurer - Nahue's biological parents were very adept at healing magicks, and he was gifted with some abilities in that area.

*Alchemist - From a young age, his father took him out to gather herbs and reagents, learning the various types and their properties. As he grew, his father teached him how to transmogrify, brew, concoct and create wonderful things. It always fascinated him, and he found he had a knack for it. Nahue has spent many cycles developing and perfecting his talent, using much of his spare time to experiment.

*Mechanician/Magitek Engineer - Another trade taught by Ivan as Nahue grew up. Nahue has always loved working on things, disassembling them, figuring out how things work, whether it is a simple pulley system, or a complex engine. His desire to learn more has always been difficult, with the taboo around magitek. He has had to learn many things in secret, often in his father's basement. Even with the risk of being caught, Nahue and his father have always enjoyed exploring the intricacies of magitek and machines in general.

He tends to use whatever is around him as a weapon, or a distraction. On most occasions, he will use a wrench from his tool belt. His technique is sloppy, and unbalanced.

====Weaknesses====

*Nahue is dyslexic, and as a result, he never bothered to learn how to read. This will often get him lost when exploring, as he can't read signs for directions. He has to memorize landmarks and specific areas for navigation. This has also made learning difficult, as he has to have hands on experience, rather than reading a book to obtain knowledge or information.<br>
*Trusting of others, almost to a fault. He will confide in someone completely and utterly before getting to know them as well as he should. Because of this, he often gets his hopes up very easily for things, and it hits him much harder when things don't go as planned.<br>

=== History ===

----
Until the age of 3, he traveled with his birth parents and the rest of his clan by caravan throughout Eorzea. However, one day he decided to wander off and explore on his own. He ended up getting lost and eventually found himself running into a peculiar Hyur by the name of Ivan Tanner. The kind old man took him and raised him as his own.

Ivan is a mechanic and an alchemist by trade, so naturally he apprenticed under him. He quickly developed a love for tools, machinery, gears and gadgets. Anytime his father brought something home, they would spend hours tinkering with it, learning how it works and how to make it work even better than before.

Prior to the Calamity, his father owned a little alchemist/mechanic shop in Limsa Lominsa. He is currently living in Gridania with his mate, [[Manari Onai]], where he runs his own shop in the local marketplace.

<center>
====Pre-Calamity====
<spoiler>Nahue walked through the dark alleys of Limsa Lominsa, Dalamud shining brightly overhead. He wore an overcoat that night, a dark cloak and hood underneath. He carried himself well, a small cadence to his step as his boots scraped against the cobblestone. He slid his hood over his head, concealing his face from view. He had dealt with these men before, but nothing of this size. A dead drop, as usual. It was the safest thing for him and his father. He couldn't risk it otherwise. This was definitely something that would get them both killed.

The terms of the arrangement had already been established the week prior. Tonight, it was setting up the delivery. The item in question was currently sitting in the basement of his father's shop. Not the best place to store something of this kind, but it was the only place he could think of at the time. Getting it to the dead drop location would be another matter entirely. He shook that thought from his head, "One step at a time," he thought. Right now, he needed to drop off the note that would let them know where he was leaving the item in question.

His pace quickened as the wind picked up. It was a chilly night, and with the ocean winds, it hit straight to the bone. He approached the drop location, sliding the note between two wooden boards, looking for a moment before pulling out a small envelope hidden underneath. The location in general was well hidden, and the drop spot wouldn't be noticeable at first glance, only to those who actively looked for something there would see it. He exhaled sharply, returning to his father's shop while opening the envelope. The first half of the payment was inside, the other half to be designated after they get the item. "Time to get it," he thought as he briskly walked back through the alleyways. A thought did cross his mind however, taking the first half of the payment and skipping town, though, that'd put his father in danger, and they'd surely track him down. Not a good idea by any means.

Nahue arrived at the shop shortly thereafter, heading down in the basement where it resided. He glanced at the large object, hidden under a tarp. He grabbed one end of the cloth, pulling it away slowly. As the tarp fell away, it revealed the waist and legs of a large magitek mech. Nahue had been working on it for awhile, attempting to make it work without the chassis, to no avail. His buyer might have better luck, but with Dalamud approaching, he thought it'd be better to sell the thing and make off with the profits rather than leaving it to rust. He smirked as he gave the machine a final once over, remembering when he had found the thing.

It was only a couple months ago, he was out in La Noscea, scavenging for anything of use for his father's business. He had just climbed up a small rock formation when he had seen smoke rising from the air. Curiousity got the better of him and he quickly rushed over to see what had caused it. To his surprise, it was the wreckage of the mech, surrounded by dead Garlean soldiers. He didn't know what happened to them, nor did he care to. He quickly put out the smoke so no one would discover him, or this piece of tech. A rarity to be sure, a very very illegal one at that. There was no way he'd leave this out here.

He did his best, using nearby tree branches to cover it up before heading off to the nearest camp. Luckily, he was able to find a merchant selling some wares. A few things purchased; a tarp, a wooden board, and a hefty length of rope. After making it back to the wreckage, he laid the wooden board on the ground, and with a bit of science, he managed to prop up the mech on the board using the rope and gravity. He then fastened the mech to the wood, secured it under the tarp, and began pulling. It only took him seven or eight hours to reach Limsa, a lot faster than he thought it would take. By then, he was under the cover of nightfall and easily able to drag it into the city and to the shop.

He grinned as he looked at it, a good memory. He sighed, pulling the tarp back over the magitek, securing it with rope once more. This time he thought ahead, making sure to secure a caravan for that evening. The caravan had already pulled up beside the shop, near the basement door, ready for the pickup. He walked outside, giving a nod to the driver. A friend of his fathers, a trustworthy one at that. They worked together to get the bundled up piece of machinery into the back of the caravan, of which only took 20 minutes. He smiled, giving the driver a handshake, hopping in to the back of the caravan.

"Tha usual place Nahu?" The man grunted from the front of the wagon.
Nahu whispered, "Aye...Thanks once more for this Gayle."
The old man shrugged, "Leas' I could do for Ivan's son."

Gayle, was one of Ivan's oldest friends, always willing to help out his family as needed, and Nahue was no exception. Gayle had done a few runs like this with Nahu, helping out the Tanners whenever needed, and it wasn't without due compensation either. Nahue would make sure of that, especially with this drop.

They headed off, out of Limsa to the spot designated by Nahue where the magitek would be dropped off. Nahue and Gayle loaded the machine off the wagon, near a cliffside, not noticeable from the road. He opened his envelope and poured the contents into his hands; a hefty amount of gil. He tossed Gayle one of the smaller coins and nodded, "I'll walk back." The man nodded in return, heading back to his wagon and driving off back to Limsa.

Nahue looked around the area where the treasure lay, trying to find a spot to hide. He saw a nice outcropping of rocks just atop the cliffside, only about seven feet up too, an easy climb. He gracefully grabbed a hold of the formation, scaling it with ease. Slowly he moved to the rocks, kneeling down to hide. Here he would wait for the men to pick up their prize, here he would wait for the rest of his money..

Nahue didn't mind the two hour wait ahead of him. There wasn't a cloud in the sky; every single star was crisp and bright, minus the ones near Dalamud. He enjoyed the moonlight, it was peaceful and calm that night, with only an odd bird chirp or two throughout the night. He took a deep breath and exhaled, relaxing, waiting in anticipation for the men to arrive. He had a feeling that the other party wouldn't hold up their end of the bargain, first payment or not. These were the types to pay you, get what they want, then kill you and take their money back. "Not this time," Nahu thought. His ears perked up towards some voices in the distance, "That must be them," he thought once more. He fidgeted, waiting to see them appear from the darkness. There were two men, wheeling a caravan of their own, torches in their hands. Odd thing to see, when you are someone who doesn't want to get noticed. He shrugged to himself, waiting for them to approach.

"Ya fink tha' lad'll actually believe 'e's getten' his money?" One of the men spoke; it was the one on the left, pretty tall, rotund to boot, definitely hyur.
The other man, a small wormy thing, a lalafell by the looks, sneered, "Considerin' 'e's left it 'ere, I'd say so." They both chuckled to themselves, hopping off the caravan. The little one spoke again, "Won' 'e surprised when 'im and 'is pop both get clobbered in?"
The hyur replied, "Can' be surprised if yer dead." The chuckled again as they loaded the magitek onto the caravan.

Nahue frowned, whispering under his breath, "Called it." He pulled out a miniature telescope from one of his pouches under his coat, checking to see the contents of the caravan. "Arseholes still brought the money with them!" He smirked, thinking to himself. He crawled silently to the edge of the cliffside, hopping down as quietly as possible. He froze for a moment, waiting to see if they had heard him. They hadn't. He stealthy maneuvered around the other side of the caravan. While the two thugs were busy securing the mech, he quietly slipped in, grabbed the pouch full of gil and slid back out. Nahue made sure to be very careful to not let the purse jingle as he slipped it under his cloak. He grinned, listening for a moment. Pure silence. He went pale, turning to see the men facing him.

"Oi! Think yer goin' somewhere lad?" The lalafell spat.
Nahue folded his arms,leaning back against the wagon. "No, but I imagine you will be." The men seemed confused, looking to each other. Nahue's ears perked as the sound of chain and metal approached, "Right on time too." Nahue pointed behind the two men; they looked to see the Lominsian guard approaching on their Chocobos.

"HALT!" The two men shrieked, heading off in different directions. Nahue held his hands up as the guards approached, "I told you sirs, there were going to be some men out here smuggling," He paused, pointing in both directions, "Just doing my duty, they each ran in opposite directions." The guards nodded, chasing after the men. "Can't believe they didn't see that one coming," Nahu muttered, as he walked towards Limsa, to get his father, and their belongings, out of the city. </spoiler>

====Year One====
<spoiler>Before Dalamud falls, Nahue sneaks aboard the vessel Shining Hope to escape imminent destruction. He spent two weeks undetected on the vessel, sneaking food and supplies from the passengers who had now settled on the island called Menphina's Breath. One evening he stumbled through a female Miqo'te's campsite, named Manari at which point he fled and she gave chase. Upon being caught by her, she welcomed him with open arms. As the weeks went by, they became close, spending all of their time together. Nahue worked tirelessly to keep up with Manari on her hunts, learning how to track, to navigate silently through the forest and to fire a bow and arrow. It was almost inevitable it seemed, that the two would form a deep and profound relationship that would grow stronger in the years that followed.

Towards the end of the cycle, she gives birth to a healthy baby boy. She names him Ithki, after a boy in her tribe she loved upon Nahue's suggestion.</spoiler>

[[File:Nahman.jpg|500px|center|Nahue and Manari star-gazing on Menphina's Breath by a-fools-paradise @ A&C]]

====Year Two====
<spoiler>
Nahue learns the ways of parenthood after Manari's child is born. They both begin to understand the responsibilities of being a parent. Nahue is always eager to assist his mate and comes to love her child as if it was his own. After moving to the village for her child, Manari pushes for a return to the mainland and Nahue eagerly agrees, wanting to visit his childhood home and pick up a few things. Once back on the mainland, they stay in Limsa Lominsa briefly to allow Nahue to visit his father's shop, picking up a few needed supplies and his gil savings from the job he completed prior to his departure. He returns home to find it destroyed, only able to salvage a few essentials and some of the money that he had. This sends him into a minor depression until he learns that his father is still alive. He leaves a note for him and makes leave for the Black Shroud with Manari.

They arrive to find things both better, and different. Nahue consoles his mate through the adjustment of a changed home and is able to afford a residence and a small workshop in Gridania where the three of them start a happy life as a normal family.
</spoiler>

====Year Three====
<spoiler>

As Nahue settles in to his new life in Gridania, his mate strives to return to the woods to restore her home. After some convincing, he relents, wishing her to do what makes her happy, even if it might be dangerous. In a short amount of time, his workshop is set up properly. Using his father's standards to run his business he quickly becomes successful, even hiring on a few apprentices to take care of some of the work while he stays at home and helps care for their child while Manari travels the woods.

During a family walk through the woods, they are attacked by Manari's former mentor, Nahkokko. Manari fights back, far more adept at combat than Nahue, while he defends their child. They were able to drive back the small group of poachers that were sent after them, that is, until Nahkokko flanked them, engaging in direct combat with Nahue. During the course of the fight, Nahue had to protect Ithki, diving in front of him as Nahkokko swung her axe, severing his arm and taking it as a trophy before leaving them. Nahu could never blame his mate for the incident, constantly telling her that it was okay, and Ithki was safe and that's all that mattered.

Nahue misses his mate on most nights, as she takes to the woods to resume her training, leaving him at home to care for Ithki. The loss of his arm takes a toll on him, unable to work as he once did, he leaves his employees to do most of the labor his profession required.

He falls into a deep depression during this time, at which point Nahkokko launched an attack on Manari while she was in the Twelveswood, and on Nahue while he was at home in Gridania. He entered their home, taunting Nahue and his injury. She injured him and knocked him unconscious, waking shortly after Manari made it home, with Ithki nowhere to be found.

Manari left home immediately, not returning for suns while Nahue stayed home and regained his strength, all while grieving for his mate, and their child. Upon her return home, she was broken, hysterical and covered in grime and blood. He cleaned her up, consoling her as best as he could during this traumatic time. Nahue and Manari's relationship grew strained, Manari, now unable to listen to anything Nahue had to say, had gone on nightly trips hunting the Twelveswood. Unsure of what to do, Nahue tried to be there for her as best as he could, and during the day, returned to work, where he slowly began finding his passion again.

It didn't take him long to develop a basic prostethic for his missing limb. It was non-mechanical, but it hid his injury in public and helped him escape his depression.

==== Abilities ====

*Conjurer - Nahue's biological parents were very adept at healing magicks, and he was gifted with some abilities in that area. Ivan has pushed him to pursue this art, after noticing he had a natural ability with conjury. While he grasps the concepts, he doesn't quite understand it. He isn't much of a fighter, so the instances in where he can practice it is very slim. As such, he is still very inexperienced in this field.

*Alchemist - From a young age, his father took him out to gather herbs and reagents, learning the various types and their properties. As he grew, his father teached him how to transmogrify, brew, concoct and create wonderful things. It always fascinated him, and he found he had a knack for it. Nahue has spent many cycles developing and perfecting his talent, using much of his spare time to experiment.

*Mechanician/Magitek Engineer - Another trade taught by Ivan as Nahue grew up. Nahue has always loved working on things, disassembling them, figuring out how things work, whether it is a simple pulley system, or a complex engine. His desire to learn more has always been difficult, with the taboo around magitek. He has had to learn many things in secret, often in his father's basement. Even with the risk of being caught, Nahue and his father have always enjoyed exploring the intricacies of magitek and machines in general.

*Scrapper (Pugilist) - Nahue has never been a fighter, using it only in self-defense. His abilities are very novice, as he is mostly self-taught. He tends to use whatever is around him as a weapon, or a distraction. On most occasions, he will use a wrench from his tool belt. His technique is sloppy, and unbalanced.

====Weaknesses====

*Nahue is dyslexic, and as a result, he never bothered to learn how to read. This will often get him lost when exploring, as he can't read signs for directions. He has to memorize landmarks and specific areas for navigation. This has also made learning difficult, as he has to have hands on experience, rather than reading a book to obtain knowledge or information.<br>
*Trusting of others, almost to a fault. He will confide in someone completely and utterly before getting to know them as well as he should. Because of this, he often gets his hopes up very easily for things, and it hits him much harder when things don't go as planned.<br>

==== Appearance ====

'''Height:''' 5 fulms 8 ilms.

'''Weight:''' ~145 ponz.

'''Body:''' Slender yet toned.

'''Hair:''' Silver with platinum highlights. Scruffy.

'''Eyes:''' Silver.

'''Skin:''' Light Chocolate

'''Scars/Markings:''' Where his right arm used to be is now a stump. There is a large scar on his upper arm where it was severed. In public, he uses a prosthetic, wearing his overcoat and a glove to hide the injury.

'''Clothes:''' Standard clothes for a mechanic. Usually just overalls, a pair of work boots, gloves, and goggles.

'''Voice:''' Soft, but warm. Easy on the ears. He will often shorten words in speech, combine words that normally aren't used together, and use slang.

His pace quickened as the wind picked up. It was a chilly night, and with the ocean winds, it hit straight to the bone. He approached the drop location, sliding the note between two wooden boards, looking for a moment before pulling out a small envelope hidden underneath. The location in general was well hidden, and the drop spot wouldn't be noticeable at first glance, only to those who actively looked for something there would see it. He exhaled sharply, returning to his father's shop while opening the envelope. The first half of the payment was inside, the other half to be designated after they get the item. "Time to get it," he thought as he briskly walked back through the alleyways. A thought did cross his mind however, taking the first half of the payment and skipping town, though, that'd put his father in danger, and they'd surely track him down. Not a good idea by any means.

Nahue arrived at the shop shortly thereafter, heading down in the basement where it resided. He glanced at the large object, hidden under a tarp. He grabbed one end of the cloth, pulling it away slowly. As the tarp fell away, it revealed the waist and legs of a large magitek mech. Nahue had been working on it for awhile, attempting to make it work without the chassis, to no avail. His buyer might have better luck, but with Dalamud approaching, he thought it'd be better to sell the thing and make off with the profits rather than leaving it to rust. He smirked as he gave the machine a final once over, remembering when he had found the thing.

It was only a couple months ago, he was out in La Noscea, scavenging for anything of use for his father's business. He had just climbed up a small rock formation when he had seen smoke rising from the air. Curiousity got the better of him and he quickly rushed over to see what had caused it. To his surprise, it was the wreckage of the mech, surrounded by dead Garlean soldiers. He didn't know what happened to them, nor did he care to. He quickly put out the smoke so no one would discover him, or this piece of tech. A rarity to be sure, a very very illegal one at that. There was no way he'd leave this out here.

He did his best, using nearby tree branches to cover it up before heading off to the nearest camp. Luckily, he was able to find a merchant selling some wares. A few things purchased; a tarp, a wooden board, and a hefty length of rope. After making it back to the wreckage, he laid the wooden board on the ground, and with a bit of science, he managed to prop up the mech on the board using the rope and gravity. He then fastened the mech to the wood, secured it under the tarp, and began pulling. It only took him seven or eight hours to reach Limsa, a lot faster than he thought it would take. By then, he was under the cover of nightfall and easily able to drag it into the city and to the shop.

He grinned as he looked at it, a good memory. He sighed, pulling the tarp back over the magitek, securing it with rope once more. This time he thought ahead, making sure to secure a caravan for that evening. The caravan had already pulled up beside the shop, near the basement door, ready for the pickup. He walked outside, giving a nod to the driver. A friend of his fathers, a trustworthy one at that. They worked together to get the bundled up piece of machinery into the back of the caravan, of which only took 20 minutes. He smiled, giving the driver a handshake, hopping in to the back of the caravan.

"Tha usual place Nahu?" The man grunted from the front of the wagon.
Nahu whispered, "Aye...Thanks once more for this Gayle."
The old man shrugged, "Leas' I could do for Ivan's son."

Gayle, was one of Ivan's oldest friends, always willing to help out his family as needed, and Nahue was no exception. Gayle had done a few runs like this with Nahu, helping out the Tanners whenever needed, and it wasn't without due compensation either. Nahue would make sure of that, especially with this drop.

They headed off, out of Limsa to the spot designated by Nahue where the magitek would be dropped off. Nahue and Gayle loaded the machine off the wagon, near a cliffside, not noticeable from the road. He opened his envelope and poured the contents into his hands; a hefty amount of gil. He tossed Gayle one of the smaller coins and nodded, "I'll walk back." The man nodded in return, heading back to his wagon and driving off back to Limsa.

Nahue looked around the area where the treasure lay, trying to find a spot to hide. He saw a nice outcropping of rocks just atop the cliffside, only about seven feet up too, an easy climb. He gracefully grabbed a hold of the formation, scaling it with ease. Slowly he moved to the rocks, kneeling down to hide. Here he would wait for the men to pick up their prize, here he would wait for the rest of his money..

Nahue didn't mind the two hour wait ahead of him. There wasn't a cloud in the sky; every single star was crisp and bright, minus the ones near Dalamud. He enjoyed the moonlight, it was peaceful and calm that night, with only an odd bird chirp or two throughout the night. He took a deep breath and exhaled, relaxing, waiting in anticipation for the men to arrive. He had a feeling that the other party wouldn't hold up their end of the bargain, first payment or not. These were the types to pay you, get what they want, then kill you and take their money back. "Not this time," Nahu thought. His ears perked up towards some voices in the distance, "That must be them," he thought once more. He fidgeted, waiting to see them appear from the darkness. There were two men, wheeling a caravan of their own, torches in their hands. Odd thing to see, when you are someone who doesn't want to get noticed. He shrugged to himself, waiting for them to approach.

"Ya fink tha' lad'll actually believe 'e's getten' his money?" One of the men spoke; it was the one on the left, pretty tall, rotund to boot, definitely hyur.
The other man, a small wormy thing, a lalafell by the looks, sneered, "Considerin' 'e's left it 'ere, I'd say so." They both chuckled to themselves, hopping off the caravan. The little one spoke again, "Won' 'e surprised when 'im and 'is pop both get clobbered in?"
The hyur replied, "Can' be surprised if yer dead." The chuckled again as they loaded the magitek onto the caravan.

Nahue frowned, whispering under his breath, "Called it." He pulled out a miniature telescope from one of his pouches under his coat, checking to see the contents of the caravan. "Arseholes still brought the money with them!" He smirked, thinking to himself. He crawled silently to the edge of the cliffside, hopping down as quietly as possible. He froze for a moment, waiting to see if they had heard him. They hadn't. He stealthy maneuvered around the other side of the caravan. While the two thugs were busy securing the mech, he quietly slipped in, grabbed the pouch full of gil and slid back out. Nahue made sure to be very careful to not let the purse jingle as he slipped it under his cloak. He grinned, listening for a moment. Pure silence. He went pale, turning to see the men facing him.

"Oi! Think yer goin' somewhere lad?" The lalafell spat.
Nahue folded his arms,leaning back against the wagon. "No, but I imagine you will be." The men seemed confused, looking to each other. Nahue's ears perked as the sound of chain and metal approached, "Right on time too." Nahue pointed behind the two men; they looked to see the Lominsian guard approaching on their Chocobos.

"HALT!" The two men shrieked, heading off in different directions. Nahue held his hands up as the guards approached, "I told you sirs, there were going to be some men out here smuggling," He paused, pointing in both directions, "Just doing my duty, they each ran in opposite directions." The guards nodded, chasing after the men. "Can't believe they didn't see that one coming," Nahu muttered, as he walked towards Limsa, to get his father, and their belongings, out of the city. </spoiler>

====Year One====
<spoiler>Before Dalamud falls, Nahue sneaks aboard the vessel Shining Hope to escape imminent destruction. He spent two weeks undetected on the vessel, sneaking food and supplies from the passengers who had now settled on the island called Menphina's Breath. One evening he stumbled through a female Miqo'te's campsite, named Manari at which point he fled and she gave chase. Upon being caught by her, she welcomed him with open arms. As the weeks went by, they became close, spending all of their time together. Nahue worked tirelessly to keep up with Manari on her hunts, learning how to track, to navigate silently through the forest and to fire a bow and arrow. It was almost inevitable it seemed, that the two would form a deep and profound relationship that would grow stronger in the years that followed.

Towards the end of the cycle, she gives birth to a healthy baby boy. She names him Ithki, after a boy in her tribe she loved upon Nahue's suggestion.</spoiler>

[[File:Nahman.jpg|500px|center|Nahue and Manari star-gazing on Menphina's Breath by a-fools-paradise @ A&C]]

====Year Two====
<spoiler>
Nahue learns the ways of parenthood after Manari's child is born. They both begin to understand the responsibilities of being a parent. Nahue is always eager to assist his mate and comes to love her child as if it was his own. After moving to the village for her child, Manari pushes for a return to the mainland and Nahue eagerly agrees, wanting to visit his childhood home and pick up a few things. Once back on the mainland, they stay in Limsa Lominsa briefly to allow Nahue to visit his father's shop, picking up a few needed supplies and his gil savings from the job he completed prior to his departure. He returns home to find it destroyed, only able to salvage a few essentials and some of the money that he had. This sends him into a minor depression until he learns that his father is still alive. He leaves a note for him and makes leave for the Black Shroud with Manari.

They arrive to find things both better, and different. Nahue consoles his mate through the adjustment of a changed home and is able to afford a residence and a small workshop in Gridania where the three of them start a happy life as a normal family.
</spoiler>

====Year Three====
<spoiler>

As Nahue settles in to his new life in Gridania, his mate strives to return to the woods to restore her home. After some convincing, he relents, wishing her to do what makes her happy, even if it might be dangerous. In a short amount of time, his workshop is set up properly. Using his father's standards to run his business he quickly becomes successful, even hiring on a few apprentices to take care of some of the work while he stays at home and helps care for their child while Manari travels the woods.

During a family walk through the woods, they are attacked by Manari's former mentor, Nahkokko. Manari fights back, far more adept at combat than Nahue, while he defends their child. They were able to drive back the small group of poachers that were sent after them, that is, until Nahkokko flanked them, engaging in direct combat with Nahue. During the course of the fight, Nahue had to protect Ithki, diving in front of him as Nahkokko swung her axe, severing his arm and taking it as a trophy before leaving them. Nahu could never blame his mate for the incident, constantly telling her that it was okay, and Ithki was safe and that's all that mattered.

Nahue misses his mate on most nights, as she takes to the woods to resume her training, leaving him at home to care for Ithki. The loss of his arm takes a toll on him, unable to work as he once did, he leaves his employees to do most of the labor his profession required.

He falls into a deep depression during this time, at which point Nahkokko launched an attack on Manari while she was in the Twelveswood, and on Nahue while he was at home in Gridania. He entered their home, taunting Nahue and his injury. She injured him and knocked him unconscious, waking shortly after Manari made it home, with Ithki nowhere to be found.

Manari left home immediately, not returning for suns while Nahue stayed home and regained his strength, all while grieving for his mate, and their child. Upon her return home, she was broken, hysterical and covered in grime and blood. He cleaned her up, consoling her as best as he could during this traumatic time. Nahue and Manari's relationship grew strained, Manari, now unable to listen to anything Nahue had to say, had gone on nightly trips hunting the Twelveswood. Unsure of what to do, Nahue tried to be there for her as best as he could, and during the day, returned to work, where he slowly began finding his passion again.

It didn't take him long to develop a basic prostethic for his missing limb. It was non-mechanical, but it hid his injury in public and helped him escape his depression.

==== Abilities ====

*Conjurer - Nahue's biological parents were very adept at healing magicks, and he was gifted with some abilities in that area. Ivan has pushed him to pursue this art, after noticing he had a natural ability with conjury. While he grasps the concepts, he doesn't quite understand it. He isn't much of a fighter, so the instances in where he can practice it is very slim. As such, he is still very inexperienced in this field.

*Alchemist - From a young age, his father took him out to gather herbs and reagents, learning the various types and their properties. As he grew, his father teached him how to transmogrify, brew, concoct and create wonderful things. It always fascinated him, and he found he had a knack for it. Nahue has spent many cycles developing and perfecting his talent, using much of his spare time to experiment.

*Mechanician/Magitek Engineer - Another trade taught by Ivan as Nahue grew up. Nahue has always loved working on things, disassembling them, figuring out how things work, whether it is a simple pulley system, or a complex engine. His desire to learn more has always been difficult, with the taboo around magitek. He has had to learn many things in secret, often in his father's basement. Even with the risk of being caught, Nahue and his father have always enjoyed exploring the intricacies of magitek and machines in general.

*Scrapper (Pugilist) - Nahue has never been a fighter, using it only in self-defense. His abilities are very novice, as he is mostly self-taught. He tends to use whatever is around him as a weapon, or a distraction. On most occasions, he will use a wrench from his tool belt. His technique is sloppy, and unbalanced.

====Weaknesses====

*Nahue is dyslexic, and as a result, he never bothered to learn how to read. This will often get him lost when exploring, as he can't read signs for directions. He has to memorize landmarks and specific areas for navigation. This has also made learning difficult, as he has to have hands on experience, rather than reading a book to obtain knowledge or information.<br>
*Trusting of others, almost to a fault. He will confide in someone completely and utterly before getting to know them as well as he should. Because of this, he often gets his hopes up very easily for things, and it hits him much harder when things don't go as planned.<br>

==== Appearance ====

'''Height:''' 5 fulms 8 ilms.

'''Weight:''' ~145 ponz.

'''Body:''' Slender yet toned.

'''Hair:''' Silver with platinum highlights. Scruffy.

'''Eyes:''' Silver.

'''Skin:''' Light Chocolate

'''Scars/Markings:''' Where his right arm used to be is now a stump. There is a large scar on his upper arm where it was severed. In public, he uses a prosthetic, wearing his overcoat and a glove to hide the injury.

'''Clothes:''' Standard clothes for a mechanic. Usually just overalls, a pair of work boots, gloves, and goggles.

'''Voice:''' Soft, but warm. Easy on the ears. He will often shorten words in speech, combine words that normally aren't used together, and use slang.

==== Personality ====

'''Demeanor:'''<br>
:Nahue is a warm and friendly individual when with someone he knows. When he is around strangers or large groups of people he is very shy, rigid and introverted. He will keep to himself and stick to observing unless spoken to. He is a very curious person, often asking many questions and being nosy. Because of this, he may come off as annoying at times, but his intentions are always good.

'''Emotions:'''<br>
:He is almost always smiling, goofing off, and generally being happy. He carries an optimistic outlook on life. He tends to stay calm in most situations, rarely getting angry or upset. If he is, he usually keeps it to himself.

'''Intelligence:'''<br>
:He loves learning new things, very intellectual. He thinks before he speaks. Not very street-smart, but he is learning. As a dyslexic, he never bothered to learn how to read, as it was something that was difficult for him to do. As a result, everything he has learned has been from hands on experience or taught from his father. He loves to experiment on things and tinker with them to learn how the world works and behaves. Because of his learning disability, he has become very observant of the world around him, picking up on things that others usually wouldn't. He has used this to his advantage, learning vicariously through other people's experiences in fields that interest him. Even though he is unable to read and write, he is able to speak fluent Eorzean.

'''Quirks:'''<br>
:When Nahue is embarassed or experiences a moment of awkwardness, he will often stutter.
:When happy or excited, his tail will wiggle or wag. He often hides his tail in his overalls to prevent others from noticing.

'''Alignment:''' [http://www.easydamus.com/trueneutral.html True Neutral]

=== History ===

----
Until the age of 3, he traveled with his birth parents and the rest of his clan by caravan throughout Eorzea. However, one day he decided to wander off and explore on his own. He ended up getting lost and eventually found himself running into a peculiar Hyur by the name of Ivan Tanner. The kind old man took him and raised him as his own.

Ivan is a mechanic and an alchemist by trade, so naturally he apprenticed under him. He quickly developed a love for tools, machinery, gears and gadgets. Anytime his father brought something home, they would spend hours tinkering with it, learning how it works and how to make it work even better than before.

Prior to the Calamity, his father owned a little alchemist/mechanic shop in Limsa Lominsa. He is currently living in Gridania with his mate, [[Manari Onai]], where he runs his own shop in the local marketplace.

<center>
====Pre-Calamity====
<spoiler>Nahue walked through the dark alleys of Limsa Lominsa, Dalamud shining brightly overhead. He wore an overcoat that night, a dark cloak and hood underneath. He carried himself well, a small cadence to his step as his boots scraped against the cobblestone. He slid his hood over his head, concealing his face from view. He had dealt with these men before, but nothing of this size. A dead drop, as usual. It was the safest thing for him and his father. He couldn't risk it otherwise. This was definitely something that would get them both killed.

The terms of the arrangement had already been established the week prior. Tonight, it was setting up the delivery. The item in question was currently sitting in the basement of his father's shop. Not the best place to store something of this kind, but it was the only place he could think of at the time. Getting it to the dead drop location would be another matter entirely. He shook that thought from his head, "One step at a time," he thought. Right now, he needed to drop off the note that would let them know where he was leaving the item in question.

His pace quickened as the wind picked up. It was a chilly night, and with the ocean winds, it hit straight to the bone. He approached the drop location, sliding the note between two wooden boards, looking for a moment before pulling out a small envelope hidden underneath. The location in general was well hidden, and the drop spot wouldn't be noticeable at first glance, only to those who actively looked for something there would see it. He exhaled sharply, returning to his father's shop while opening the envelope. The first half of the payment was inside, the other half to be designated after they get the item. "Time to get it," he thought as he briskly walked back through the alleyways. A thought did cross his mind however, taking the first half of the payment and skipping town, though, that'd put his father in danger, and they'd surely track him down. Not a good idea by any means.

Nahue arrived at the shop shortly thereafter, heading down in the basement where it resided. He glanced at the large object, hidden under a tarp. He grabbed one end of the cloth, pulling it away slowly. As the tarp fell away, it revealed the waist and legs of a large magitek mech. Nahue had been working on it for awhile, attempting to make it work without the chassis, to no avail. His buyer might have better luck, but with Dalamud approaching, he thought it'd be better to sell the thing and make off with the profits rather than leaving it to rust. He smirked as he gave the machine a final once over, remembering when he had found the thing.

It was only a couple months ago, he was out in La Noscea, scavenging for anything of use for his father's business. He had just climbed up a small rock formation when he had seen smoke rising from the air. Curiousity got the better of him and he quickly rushed over to see what had caused it. To his surprise, it was the wreckage of the mech, surrounded by dead Garlean soldiers. He didn't know what happened to them, nor did he care to. He quickly put out the smoke so no one would discover him, or this piece of tech. A rarity to be sure, a very very illegal one at that. There was no way he'd leave this out here.

He did his best, using nearby tree branches to cover it up before heading off to the nearest camp. Luckily, he was able to find a merchant selling some wares. A few things purchased; a tarp, a wooden board, and a hefty length of rope. After making it back to the wreckage, he laid the wooden board on the ground, and with a bit of science, he managed to prop up the mech on the board using the rope and gravity. He then fastened the mech to the wood, secured it under the tarp, and began pulling. It only took him seven or eight hours to reach Limsa, a lot faster than he thought it would take. By then, he was under the cover of nightfall and easily able to drag it into the city and to the shop.

He grinned as he looked at it, a good memory. He sighed, pulling the tarp back over the magitek, securing it with rope once more. This time he thought ahead, making sure to secure a caravan for that evening. The caravan had already pulled up beside the shop, near the basement door, ready for the pickup. He walked outside, giving a nod to the driver. A friend of his fathers, a trustworthy one at that. They worked together to get the bundled up piece of machinery into the back of the caravan, of which only took 20 minutes. He smiled, giving the driver a handshake, hopping in to the back of the caravan.

"Tha usual place Nahu?" The man grunted from the front of the wagon.
Nahu whispered, "Aye...Thanks once more for this Gayle."
The old man shrugged, "Leas' I could do for Ivan's son."

Gayle, was one of Ivan's oldest friends, always willing to help out his family as needed, and Nahue was no exception. Gayle had done a few runs like this with Nahu, helping out the Tanners whenever needed, and it wasn't without due compensation either. Nahue would make sure of that, especially with this drop.

They headed off, out of Limsa to the spot designated by Nahue where the magitek would be dropped off. Nahue and Gayle loaded the machine off the wagon, near a cliffside, not noticeable from the road. He opened his envelope and poured the contents into his hands; a hefty amount of gil. He tossed Gayle one of the smaller coins and nodded, "I'll walk back." The man nodded in return, heading back to his wagon and driving off back to Limsa.

Nahue looked around the area where the treasure lay, trying to find a spot to hide. He saw a nice outcropping of rocks just atop the cliffside, only about seven feet up too, an easy climb. He gracefully grabbed a hold of the formation, scaling it with ease. Slowly he moved to the rocks, kneeling down to hide. Here he would wait for the men to pick up their prize, here he would wait for the rest of his money..

Nahue didn't mind the two hour wait ahead of him. There wasn't a cloud in the sky; every single star was crisp and bright, minus the ones near Dalamud. He enjoyed the moonlight, it was peaceful and calm that night, with only an odd bird chirp or two throughout the night. He took a deep breath and exhaled, relaxing, waiting in anticipation for the men to arrive. He had a feeling that the other party wouldn't hold up their end of the bargain, first payment or not. These were the types to pay you, get what they want, then kill you and take their money back. "Not this time," Nahu thought. His ears perked up towards some voices in the distance, "That must be them," he thought once more. He fidgeted, waiting to see them appear from the darkness. There were two men, wheeling a caravan of their own, torches in their hands. Odd thing to see, when you are someone who doesn't want to get noticed.

The other man, a small wormy thing, a lalafell by the looks, sneered, "Considerin' 'e's left it 'ere, I'd say so." They both chuckled to themselves, hopping off the caravan. The little one spoke again, "Won' 'e surprised when 'im and 'is pop both get clobbered in?"
The hyur replied, "Can' be surprised if yer dead." The chuckled again as they loaded the magitek onto the caravan.

Nahue frowned, whispering under his breath, "Called it." He pulled out a miniature telescope from one of his pouches under his coat, checking to see the contents of the caravan. "Arseholes still brought the money with them!" He smirked, thinking to himself. He crawled silently to the edge of the cliffside, hopping down as quietly as possible. He froze for a moment, waiting to see if they had heard him. They hadn't. He stealthy maneuvered around the other side of the caravan. While the two thugs were busy securing the mech, he quietly slipped in, grabbed the pouch full of gil and slid back out. Nahue made sure to be very careful to not let the purse jingle as he slipped it under his cloak. He grinned, listening for a moment. Pure silence. He went pale, turning to see the men facing him.

"Oi! Think yer goin' somewhere lad?" The lalafell spat.
Nahue folded his arms,leaning back against the wagon. "No, but I imagine you will be." The men seemed confused, looking to each other. Nahue's ears perked as the sound of chain and metal approached, "Right on time too." Nahue pointed behind the two men; they looked to see the Lominsian guard approaching on their Chocobos.

"HALT!" The two men shrieked, heading off in different directions. Nahue held his hands up as the guards approached, "I told you sirs, there were going to be some men out here smuggling," He paused, pointing in both directions, "Just doing my duty, they each ran in opposite directions." The guards nodded, chasing after the men. "Can't believe they didn't see that one coming," Nahu muttered, as he walked towards Limsa, to get his father, and their belongings, out of the city. </spoiler>

====Year One====
<spoiler>Before Dalamud falls, Nahue sneaks aboard the vessel Shining Hope to escape imminent destruction. He spent two weeks undetected on the vessel, sneaking food and supplies from the passengers who had now settled on the island called Menphina's Breath. One evening he stumbled through a female Miqo'te's campsite, named Manari at which point he fled and she gave chase. Upon being caught by her, she welcomed him with open arms. As the weeks went by, they became close, spending all of their time together. Nahue worked tirelessly to keep up with Manari on her hunts, learning how to track, to navigate silently through the forest and to fire a bow and arrow. It was almost inevitable it seemed, that the two would form a deep and profound relationship that would grow stronger in the years that followed.

Towards the end of the cycle, she gives birth to a healthy baby boy. She names him Ithki, after a boy in her tribe she loved upon Nahue's suggestion.</spoiler>

====Year Two====
<spoiler>
Nahue learns the ways of parenthood after Manari's child is born. They both begin to understand the responsibilities of being a parent. Nahue is always eager to assist his mate and comes to love her child as if it was his own. After moving to the village for her child, Manari pushes for a return to the mainland and Nahue eagerly agrees, wanting to visit his childhood home and pick up a few things. Once back on the mainland, they stay in Limsa Lominsa briefly to allow Nahue to visit his father's shop, picking up a few needed supplies and his gil savings from the job he completed prior to his departure. He returns home to find it destroyed, only able to salvage a few essentials and some of the money that he had. This sends him into a minor depression until he learns that his father is still alive. He leaves a note for him and makes leave for the Black Shroud with Manari.

They arrive to find things both better, and different. Nahue consoles his mate through the adjustment of a changed home and is able to afford a residence and a small workshop in Gridania where the three of them start a happy life as a normal family.
</spoiler>

====Year Three====
<spoiler>

As Nahue settles in to his new life in Gridania, his mate strives to return to the woods to restore her home. After some convincing, he relents, wishing her to do what makes her happy, even if it might be dangerous. In a short amount of time, his workshop is set up properly. Using his father's standards to run his business he quickly becomes successful, even hiring on a few apprentices to take care of some of the work while he stays at home and helps care for their child while Manari travels the woods.

During a family walk through the woods, they are attacked by Manari's former mentor, Nahkokko. Manari fights back, far more adept at combat than Nahue, while he defends their child. They were able to drive back the small group of poachers that were sent after them, that is, until Nahkokko flanked them, engaging in direct combat with Nahue. During the course of the fight, Nahue had to protect Ithki, diving in front of him as Nahkokko swung her axe, severing his arm and taking it as a trophy before leaving them. Nahu could never blame his mate for the incident, constantly telling her that it was okay, and Ithki was safe and that's all that mattered.

Nahue misses his mate on most nights, as she takes to the woods to resume her training, leaving him at home to care for Ithki. The loss of his arm takes a toll on him, unable to work as he once did, he leaves his employees to do most of the labor his profession required.

He falls into a deep depression during this time, at which point Nahkokko launched an attack on Manari while she was in the Twelveswood, and on Nahue while he was at home in Gridania. He entered their home, taunting Nahue and his injury. She injured him and knocked him unconscious, waking shortly after Manari made it home, with Ithki nowhere to be found.

Manari left home immediately, not returning for suns while Nahue stayed home and regained his strength, all while grieving for his mate, and their child. Upon her return home, she was broken, hysterical and covered in grime and blood. He cleaned her up, consoling her as best as he could during this traumatic time. Nahue and Manari's relationship grew strained, Manari, now unable to listen to anything Nahue had to say, had gone on nightly trips hunting the Twelveswood. Unsure of what to do, Nahue tried to be there for her as best as he could, and during the day, returned to work, where he slowly began finding his passion again.

It didn't take him long to develop a basic prostethic for his missing limb. It was non-mechanical, but it hid his injury in public and helped him escape his depression.

=== Biographical ===

----
[[File:Nahuebyeiri.png|250px|left|Nahue by Eiri ]]
'''Given name:''' Nahue Tanner
:His given name was given to him by his biological parents, his surname was given to him when he was adopted by Ivan Tanner. His first name doesn't follow typical Seekers naming conventions if only due to Ivan's spelling of it throughout Nahue's life.

'''Pronunciation:''' ''[Na-way Tan-Er]''

'''Nicknames/Aliases:'''<br>
:''Nahu'' - A nickname given to him by close friends and family. <br>

'''Current residence:''' Gridania.

'''Home City:''' Limsa Lominsa.

'''Grand Company Allegiance:''' N/A

'''Employment:''' He owns his own workshop in Gridania.

'''Laterality:''' Left-handed.

==== Abilities ====

*Conjurer - Nahue's biological parents were very adept at healing magicks, and he was gifted with some abilities in that area. Ivan has pushed him to pursue this art, after noticing he had a natural ability with conjury. While he grasps the concepts, he doesn't quite understand it. He isn't much of a fighter, so the instances in where he can practice it is very slim. As such, he is still very inexperienced in this field.

*Alchemist - From a young age, his father took him out to gather herbs and reagents, learning the various types and their properties. As he grew, his father teached him how to transmogrify, brew, concoct and create wonderful things. It always fascinated him, and he found he had a knack for it. Nahue has spent many cycles developing and perfecting his talent, using much of his spare time to experiment.

*Mechanician/Magitek Engineer - Another trade taught by Ivan as Nahue grew up. Nahue has always loved working on things, disassembling them, figuring out how things work, whether it is a simple pulley system, or a complex engine. His desire to learn more has always been difficult, with the taboo around magitek. He has had to learn many things in secret, often in his father's basement. Even with the risk of being caught, Nahue and his father have always enjoyed exploring the intricacies of magitek and machines in general.

*Scrapper (Pugilist) - Nahue has never been a fighter, using it only in self-defense. His abilities are very novice, as he is mostly self-taught. He tends to use whatever is around him as a weapon, or a distraction. On most occasions, he will use a wrench from his tool belt. His technique is sloppy, and unbalanced.

====Weaknesses====

*Nahue is dyslexic, and as a result, he never bothered to learn how to read. This will often get him lost when exploring, as he can't read signs for directions. He has to memorize landmarks and specific areas for navigation. This has also made learning difficult, as he has to have hands on experience, rather than reading a book to obtain knowledge or information.<br>
*Trusting of others, almost to a fault. He will confide in someone completely and utterly before getting to know them as well as he should. Because of this, he often gets his hopes up very easily for things, and it hits him much harder when things don't go as planned.<br>

==== Appearance ====

'''Height:''' 5 fulms 8 ilms.

'''Weight:''' ~145 ponz.

'''Body:''' Slender yet toned.

'''Hair:''' Silver with platinum highlights. Scruffy.

'''Eyes:''' Silver.

'''Skin:''' Light Chocolate

'''Scars/Markings:''' Where his right arm used to be is now a stump. There is a large scar on his upper arm where it was severed. In public, he uses a prosthetic, wearing his overcoat and a glove to hide the injury.

'''Clothes:''' Standard clothes for a mechanic. Usually just overalls, a pair of work boots, gloves, and goggles.

'''Voice:''' Soft, but warm. Easy on the ears. He will often shorten words in speech, combine words that normally aren't used together, and use slang.

==== Personality ====

'''Demeanor:'''<br>
:Nahue is a warm and friendly individual when with someone he knows. When he is around strangers or large groups of people he is very shy, rigid and introverted. He will keep to himself and stick to observing unless spoken to. He is a very curious person, often asking many questions and being nosy. Because of this, he may come off as annoying at times, but his intentions are always good.

'''Emotions:'''<br>
:He is almost always smiling, goofing off, and generally being happy. He carries an optimistic outlook on life. He tends to stay calm in most situations, rarely getting angry or upset. If he is, he usually keeps it to himself.

'''Intelligence:'''<br>
:He loves learning new things, very intellectual. He thinks before he speaks. Not very street-smart, but he is learning. As a dyslexic, he never bothered to learn how to read, as it was something that was difficult for him to do. As a result, everything he has learned has been from hands on experience or taught from his father. He loves to experiment on things and tinker with them to learn how the world works and behaves. Because of his learning disability, he has become very observant of the world around him, picking up on things that others usually wouldn't. He has used this to his advantage, learning vicariously through other people's experiences in fields that interest him. Even though he is unable to read and write, he is able to speak fluent Eorzean.

'''Quirks:'''<br>
:When Nahue is embarassed or experiences a moment of awkwardness, he will often stutter.
:When happy or excited, his tail will wiggle or wag. He often hides his tail in his overalls to prevent others from noticing.

'''Alignment:''' [http://www.easydamus.com/trueneutral.html True Neutral]

=== History ===

----
Until the age of 3, he traveled with his birth parents and the rest of his clan by caravan throughout Eorzea. However, one day he decided to wander off and explore on his own. He ended up getting lost and eventually found himself running into a peculiar Hyur by the name of Ivan Tanner. The kind old man took him and raised him as his own.

Ivan is a mechanic and an alchemist by trade, so naturally he apprenticed under him. He quickly developed a love for tools, machinery, gears and gadgets. Anytime his father brought something home, they would spend hours tinkering with it, learning how it works and how to make it work even better than before.

Prior to the Calamity, his father owned a little alchemist/mechanic shop in Limsa Lominsa. He is currently living in Gridania with his mate, [[Manari Onai]], where he runs his own shop in the local marketplace.

<center>
====Pre-Calamity====
<spoiler>Nahue walked through the dark alleys of Limsa Lominsa, Dalamud shining brightly overhead. He wore an overcoat that night, a dark cloak and hood underneath. He carried himself well, a small cadence to his step as his boots scraped against the cobblestone. He slid his hood over his head, concealing his face from view. He had dealt with these men before, but nothing of this size. A dead drop, as usual. It was the safest thing for him and his father. He couldn't risk it otherwise. This was definitely something that would get them both killed.

The terms of the arrangement had already been established the week prior. Tonight, it was setting up the delivery. The item in question was currently sitting in the basement of his father's shop. Not the best place to store something of this kind, but it was the only place he could think of at the time. Getting it to the dead drop location would be another matter entirely. He shook that thought from his head, "One step at a time," he thought. Right now, he needed to drop off the note that would let them know where he was leaving the item in question.

His pace quickened as the wind picked up. It was a chilly night, and with the ocean winds, it hit straight to the bone. He approached the drop location, sliding the note between two wooden boards, looking for a moment before pulling out a small envelope hidden underneath. The location in general was well hidden, and the drop spot wouldn't be noticeable at first glance, only to those who actively looked for something there would see it. He exhaled sharply, returning to his father's shop while opening the envelope. The first half of the payment was inside, the other half to be designated after they get the item. "Time to get it," he thought as he briskly walked back through the alleyways. A thought did cross his mind however, taking the first half of the payment and skipping town, though, that'd put his father in danger, and they'd surely track him down. Not a good idea by any means.

Nahue arrived at the shop shortly thereafter, heading down in the basement where it resided. He glanced at the large object, hidden under a tarp. He grabbed one end of the cloth, pulling it away slowly. As the tarp fell away, it revealed the waist and legs of a large magitek mech. Nahue had been working on it for awhile, attempting to make it work without the chassis, to no avail. His buyer might have better luck, but with Dalamud approaching, he thought it'd be better to sell the thing and make off with the profits rather than leaving it to rust. He smirked as he gave the machine a final once over, remembering when he had found the thing.

It was only a couple months ago, he was out in La Noscea, scavenging for anything of use for his father's business. He had just climbed up a small rock formation when he had seen smoke rising from the air. Curiousity got the better of him and he quickly rushed over to see what had caused it. To his surprise, it was the wreckage of the mech, surrounded by dead Garlean soldiers. He didn't know what happened to them, nor did he care to. He quickly put out the smoke so no one would discover him, or this piece of tech. A rarity to be sure, a very very illegal one at that. There was no way he'd leave this out here.

He did his best, using nearby tree branches to cover it up before heading off to the nearest camp. Luckily, he was able to find a merchant selling some wares. A few things purchased; a tarp, a wooden board, and a hefty length of rope. After making it back to the wreckage, he laid the wooden board on the ground, and with a bit of science, he managed to prop up the mech on the board using the rope and gravity. He then fastened the mech to the wood, secured it under the tarp, and began pulling. It only took him seven or eight hours to reach Limsa, a lot faster than he thought it would take. By then, he was under the cover of nightfall and easily able to drag it into the city and to the shop.

He grinned as he looked at it, a good memory. He sighed, pulling the tarp back over the magitek, securing it with rope once more. This time he thought ahead, making sure to secure a caravan for that evening. The caravan had already pulled up beside the shop, near the basement door, ready for the pickup. He walked outside, giving a nod to the driver. A friend of his fathers, a trustworthy one at that. They worked together to get the bundled up piece of machinery into the back of the caravan, of which only took 20 minutes. He smiled, giving the driver a handshake, hopping in to the back of the caravan.

"Tha usual place Nahu?" The man grunted from the front of the wagon.
Nahu whispered, "Aye...Thanks once more for this Gayle."
The old man shrugged, "Leas' I could do for Ivan's son."

Gayle, was one of Ivan's oldest friends, always willing to help out his family as needed, and Nahue was no exception. Gayle had done a few runs like this with Nahu, helping out the Tanners whenever needed, and it wasn't without due compensation either. Nahue would make sure of that, especially with this drop.

They headed off, out of Limsa to the spot designated by Nahue where the magitek would be dropped off. Nahue and Gayle loaded the machine off the wagon, near a cliffside, not noticeable from the road. He opened his envelope and poured the contents into his hands; a hefty amount of gil. He tossed Gayle one of the smaller coins and nodded, "I'll walk back." The man nodded in return, heading back to his wagon and driving off back to Limsa.

Nahue looked around the area where the treasure lay, trying to find a spot to hide. He saw a nice outcropping of rocks just atop the cliffside, only about seven feet up too, an easy climb. He gracefully grabbed a hold of the formation, scaling it with ease. Slowly he moved to the rocks, kneeling down to hide. Here he would wait for the men to pick up their prize, here he would wait for the rest of his money..

Nahue didn't mind the two hour wait ahead of him. There wasn't a cloud in the sky; every single star was crisp and bright, minus the ones near Dalamud. He enjoyed the moonlight, it was peaceful and calm that night, with only an odd bird chirp or two throughout the night. He took a deep breath and exhaled, relaxing, waiting in anticipation for the men to arrive. He had a feeling that the other party wouldn't hold up their end of the bargain, first payment or not. These were the types to pay you, get what they want, then kill you and take their money back. "Not this time," Nahu thought. His ears perked up towards some voices in the distance, "That must be them," he thought once more. He fidgeted, waiting to see them appear from the darkness. There were two men, wheeling a caravan of their own, torches in their hands. Odd thing to see, when you are someone who doesn't want to get noticed. He shrugged to himself, waiting for them to approach.

"Ya fink tha' lad'll actually believe 'e's getten' his money?" One of the men spoke; it was the one on the left, pretty tall, rotund to boot, definitely hyur.
The other man, a small wormy thing, a lalafell by the looks, sneered, "Considerin' 'e's left it 'ere, I'd say so." They both chuckled to themselves, hopping off the caravan. The little one spoke again, "Won' 'e surprised when 'im and 'is pop both get clobbered in?"
The hyur replied, "Can' be surprised if yer dead." The chuckled again as they loaded the magitek onto the caravan.

Nahue frowned, whispering under his breath, "Called it." He pulled out a miniature telescope from one of his pouches under his coat, checking to see the contents of the caravan. "Arseholes still brought the money with them!" He smirked, thinking to himself. He crawled silently to the edge of the cliffside, hopping down as quietly as possible. He froze for a moment, waiting to see if they had heard him. They hadn't. He stealthy maneuvered around the other side of the caravan. While the two thugs were busy securing the mech, he quietly slipped in, grabbed the pouch full of gil and slid back out. Nahue made sure to be very careful to not let the purse jingle as he slipped it under his cloak. He grinned, listening for a moment. Pure silence. He went pale, turning to see the men facing him.

"Oi! Think yer goin' somewhere lad?" The lalafell spat.
Nahue folded his arms,leaning back against the wagon. "No, but I imagine you will be." The men seemed confused, looking to each other. Nahue's ears perked as the sound of chain and metal approached, "Right on time too." Nahue pointed behind the two men; they looked to see the Lominsian guard approaching on their Chocobos.

"HALT!" The two men shrieked, heading off in different directions. Nahue held his hands up as the guards approached, "I told you sirs, there were going to be some men out here smuggling," He paused, pointing in both directions, "Just doing my duty, they each ran in opposite directions." The guards nodded, chasing after the men. "Can't believe they didn't see that one coming," Nahu muttered, as he walked towards Limsa, to get his father, and their belongings, out of the city. </spoiler>

====Year One====
<spoiler>Before Dalamud falls, Nahue sneaks aboard the vessel Shining Hope to escape imminent destruction. He spent two weeks undetected on the vessel, sneaking food and supplies from the passengers who had now settled on the island called Menphina's Breath. One evening he stumbled through a female Miqo'te's campsite, named Manari at which point he fled and she gave chase. Upon being caught by her, she welcomed him with open arms. As the weeks went by, they became close, spending all of their time together. Nahue worked tirelessly to keep up with Manari on her hunts, learning how to track, to navigate silently through the forest and to fire a bow and arrow. It was almost inevitable it seemed, that the two would form a deep and profound relationship that would grow stronger in the years that followed.

Towards the end of the cycle, she gives birth to a healthy baby boy. She names him Ithki, after a boy in her tribe she loved upon Nahue's suggestion.</spoiler>

They were able to drive back the small group of poachers that were sent after them, that is, until Nahkokko flanked them, engaging in direct combat with Nahue. During the course of the fight, Nahue had to protect Ithki, diving in front of him as Nahkokko swung her axe, severing his arm and taking it as a trophy before leaving them. Nahu could never blame his mate for the incident, constantly telling her that it was okay, and Ithki was safe and that's all that mattered.

Nahue misses his mate on most nights, as she takes to the woods to resume her training, leaving him at home to care for Ithki. The loss of his arm takes a toll on him, unable to work as he once did, he leaves his employees to do most of the labor his profession required.

=== Biographical ===

----
[[File:Nahuebyeiri.png|250px|left|Nahue by Eiri ]]
'''Given name:''' Nahue Tanner
:His given name was given to him by his biological parents, his surname was given to him when he was adopted by Ivan Tanner. His first name doesn't follow typical Seekers naming conventions if only due to Ivan's spelling of it throughout Nahue's life.

'''Pronunciation:''' ''[Na-way Tan-Er]''

'''Nicknames/Aliases:'''<br>
:''Nahu'' - A nickname given to him by close friends and family. <br>

'''Nameday:''' 11th Sun of the 2nd Astral Moon (3/11)

'''Age:''' 20 cycles.

'''Place of birth:''' Unknown.

'''Current residence:''' Gridania.

'''Home City:''' Limsa Lominsa.

'''Grand Company Allegiance:''' N/A

'''Employment:''' He owns his own workshop in Gridania.

'''Laterality:''' Left-handed.

==== Abilities ====

*Conjurer - Nahue's biological parents were very adept at healing magicks, and he was gifted with some abilities in that area. Ivan has pushed him to pursue this art, after noticing he had a natural ability with conjury. While he grasps the concepts, he doesn't quite understand it. He isn't much of a fighter, so the instances in where he can practice it is very slim. As such, he is still very inexperienced in this field.

*Alchemist - From a young age, his father took him out to gather herbs and reagents, learning the various types and their properties. As he grew, his father teached him how to transmogrify, brew, concoct and create wonderful things. It always fascinated him, and he found he had a knack for it. Nahue has spent many cycles developing and perfecting his talent, using much of his spare time to experiment.

*Mechanician/Magitek Engineer - Another trade taught by Ivan as Nahue grew up. Nahue has always loved working on things, disassembling them, figuring out how things work, whether it is a simple pulley system, or a complex engine. His desire to learn more has always been difficult, with the taboo around magitek. He has had to learn many things in secret, often in his father's basement. Even with the risk of being caught, Nahue and his father have always enjoyed exploring the intricacies of magitek and machines in general.

*Scrapper (Pugilist) - Nahue has never been a fighter, using it only in self-defense. His abilities are very novice, as he is mostly self-taught. He tends to use whatever is around him as a weapon, or a distraction. On most occasions, he will use a wrench from his tool belt. His technique is sloppy, and unbalanced.

====Weaknesses====

*Nahue is dyslexic, and as a result, he never bothered to learn how to read. This will often get him lost when exploring, as he can't read signs for directions. He has to memorize landmarks and specific areas for navigation. This has also made learning difficult, as he has to have hands on experience, rather than reading a book to obtain knowledge or information.<br>
*Trusting of others, almost to a fault. He will confide in someone completely and utterly before getting to know them as well as he should. Because of this, he often gets his hopes up very easily for things, and it hits him much harder when things don't go as planned.<br>

==== Appearance ====

'''Height:''' 5 fulms 8 ilms.

'''Weight:''' ~145 ponz.

'''Body:''' Slender yet toned.

'''Hair:''' Silver with platinum highlights. Scruffy.

'''Eyes:''' Silver.

'''Skin:''' Light Chocolate

'''Scars/Markings:''' Where his right arm used to be is now a stump. There is a large scar on his upper arm where it was severed. In public, he uses a prosthetic, wearing his overcoat and a glove to hide the injury.

'''Clothes:''' Standard clothes for a mechanic. Usually just overalls, a pair of work boots, gloves, and goggles.

'''Voice:''' Soft, but warm. Easy on the ears. He will often shorten words in speech, combine words that normally aren't used together, and use slang.

==== Personality ====

'''Demeanor:'''<br>
:Nahue is a warm and friendly individual when with someone he knows. When he is around strangers or large groups of people he is very shy, rigid and introverted. He will keep to himself and stick to observing unless spoken to. He is a very curious person, often asking many questions and being nosy. Because of this, he may come off as annoying at times, but his intentions are always good.

'''Emotions:'''<br>
:He is almost always smiling, goofing off, and generally being happy. He carries an optimistic outlook on life. He tends to stay calm in most situations, rarely getting angry or upset. If he is, he usually keeps it to himself.

'''Intelligence:'''<br>
:He loves learning new things, very intellectual. He thinks before he speaks. Not very street-smart, but he is learning. As a dyslexic, he never bothered to learn how to read, as it was something that was difficult for him to do. As a result, everything he has learned has been from hands on experience or taught from his father. He loves to experiment on things and tinker with them to learn how the world works and behaves. Because of his learning disability, he has become very observant of the world around him, picking up on things that others usually wouldn't. He has used this to his advantage, learning vicariously through other people's experiences in fields that interest him. Even though he is unable to read and write, he is able to speak fluent Eorzean.

'''Quirks:'''<br>
:When Nahue is embarassed or experiences a moment of awkwardness, he will often stutter.
:When happy or excited, his tail will wiggle or wag. He often hides his tail in his overalls to prevent others from noticing.

'''Alignment:''' [http://www.easydamus.com/trueneutral.html True Neutral]

=== History ===

----
Until the age of 3, he traveled with his birth parents and the rest of his clan by caravan throughout Eorzea. However, one day he decided to wander off and explore on his own. He ended up getting lost and eventually found himself running into a peculiar Hyur by the name of Ivan Tanner. The kind old man took him and raised him as his own.

Ivan is a mechanic and an alchemist by trade, so naturally he apprenticed under him. He quickly developed a love for tools, machinery, gears and gadgets. Anytime his father brought something home, they would spend hours tinkering with it, learning how it works and how to make it work even better than before.

Prior to the Calamity, his father owned a little alchemist/mechanic shop in Limsa Lominsa. He is currently living in Gridania with his mate, [[Manari Onai]], where he runs his own shop in the local marketplace.

<center>
====Pre-Calamity====
<spoiler>Nahue walked through the dark alleys of Limsa Lominsa, Dalamud shining brightly overhead. He wore an overcoat that night, a dark cloak and hood underneath. He carried himself well, a small cadence to his step as his boots scraped against the cobblestone. He slid his hood over his head, concealing his face from view. He had dealt with these men before, but nothing of this size. A dead drop, as usual. It was the safest thing for him and his father. He couldn't risk it otherwise. This was definitely something that would get them both killed.

The terms of the arrangement had already been established the week prior. Tonight, it was setting up the delivery. The item in question was currently sitting in the basement of his father's shop. Not the best place to store something of this kind, but it was the only place he could think of at the time. Getting it to the dead drop location would be another matter entirely. He shook that thought from his head, "One step at a time," he thought. Right now, he needed to drop off the note that would let them know where he was leaving the item in question.

His pace quickened as the wind picked up. It was a chilly night, and with the ocean winds, it hit straight to the bone. He approached the drop location, sliding the note between two wooden boards, looking for a moment before pulling out a small envelope hidden underneath. The location in general was well hidden, and the drop spot wouldn't be noticeable at first glance, only to those who actively looked for something there would see it. He exhaled sharply, returning to his father's shop while opening the envelope. The first half of the payment was inside, the other half to be designated after they get the item. "Time to get it," he thought as he briskly walked back through the alleyways. A thought did cross his mind however, taking the first half of the payment and skipping town, though, that'd put his father in danger, and they'd surely track him down. Not a good idea by any means.

Nahue arrived at the shop shortly thereafter, heading down in the basement where it resided. He glanced at the large object, hidden under a tarp. He grabbed one end of the cloth, pulling it away slowly. As the tarp fell away, it revealed the waist and legs of a large magitek mech. Nahue had been working on it for awhile, attempting to make it work without the chassis, to no avail. His buyer might have better luck, but with Dalamud approaching, he thought it'd be better to sell the thing and make off with the profits rather than leaving it to rust. He smirked as he gave the machine a final once over, remembering when he had found the thing.

It was only a couple months ago, he was out in La Noscea, scavenging for anything of use for his father's business. He had just climbed up a small rock formation when he had seen smoke rising from the air. Curiousity got the better of him and he quickly rushed over to see what had caused it. To his surprise, it was the wreckage of the mech, surrounded by dead Garlean soldiers. He didn't know what happened to them, nor did he care to. He quickly put out the smoke so no one would discover him, or this piece of tech. A rarity to be sure, a very very illegal one at that. There was no way he'd leave this out here.

He did his best, using nearby tree branches to cover it up before heading off to the nearest camp. Luckily, he was able to find a merchant selling some wares. A few things purchased; a tarp, a wooden board, and a hefty length of rope. After making it back to the wreckage, he laid the wooden board on the ground, and with a bit of science, he managed to prop up the mech on the board using the rope and gravity. He then fastened the mech to the wood, secured it under the tarp, and began pulling. It only took him seven or eight hours to reach Limsa, a lot faster than he thought it would take. By then, he was under the cover of nightfall and easily able to drag it into the city and to the shop.

He grinned as he looked at it, a good memory. He sighed, pulling the tarp back over the magitek, securing it with rope once more. This time he thought ahead, making sure to secure a caravan for that evening. The caravan had already pulled up beside the shop, near the basement door, ready for the pickup. He walked outside, giving a nod to the driver. A friend of his fathers, a trustworthy one at that. They worked together to get the bundled up piece of machinery into the back of the caravan, of which only took 20 minutes. He smiled, giving the driver a handshake, hopping in to the back of the caravan.

"Tha usual place Nahu?" The man grunted from the front of the wagon.
Nahu whispered, "Aye...Thanks once more for this Gayle."
The old man shrugged, "Leas' I could do for Ivan's son."

Gayle, was one of Ivan's oldest friends, always willing to help out his family as needed, and Nahue was no exception. Gayle had done a few runs like this with Nahu, helping out the Tanners whenever needed, and it wasn't without due compensation either. Nahue would make sure of that, especially with this drop.

They headed off, out of Limsa to the spot designated by Nahue where the magitek would be dropped off. Nahue and Gayle loaded the machine off the wagon, near a cliffside, not noticeable from the road. He opened his envelope and poured the contents into his hands; a hefty amount of gil. He tossed Gayle one of the smaller coins and nodded, "I'll walk back." The man nodded in return, heading back to his wagon and driving off back to Limsa.

Nahue looked around the area where the treasure lay, trying to find a spot to hide. He saw a nice outcropping of rocks just atop the cliffside, only about seven feet up too, an easy climb. He gracefully grabbed a hold of the formation, scaling it with ease. Slowly he moved to the rocks, kneeling down to hide. Here he would wait for the men to pick up their prize, here he would wait for the rest of his money..

Nahue didn't mind the two hour wait ahead of him. There wasn't a cloud in the sky; every single star was crisp and bright, minus the ones near Dalamud. He enjoyed the moonlight, it was peaceful and calm that night, with only an odd bird chirp or two throughout the night. He took a deep breath and exhaled, relaxing, waiting in anticipation for the men to arrive. He had a feeling that the other party wouldn't hold up their end of the bargain, first payment or not. These were the types to pay you, get what they want, then kill you and take their money back. "Not this time," Nahu thought. His ears perked up towards some voices in the distance, "That must be them," he thought once more. He fidgeted, waiting to see them appear from the darkness. There were two men, wheeling a caravan of their own, torches in their hands. Odd thing to see, when you are someone who doesn't want to get noticed. He shrugged to himself, waiting for them to approach.

"Ya fink tha' lad'll actually believe 'e's getten' his money?" One of the men spoke; it was the one on the left, pretty tall, rotund to boot, definitely hyur.
The other man, a small wormy thing, a lalafell by the looks, sneered, "Considerin' 'e's left it 'ere, I'd say so." They both chuckled to themselves, hopping off the caravan. The little one spoke again, "Won' 'e surprised when 'im and 'is pop both get clobbered in?"
The hyur replied, "Can' be surprised if yer dead." The chuckled again as they loaded the magitek onto the caravan.

Nahue frowned, whispering under his breath, "Called it." He pulled out a miniature telescope from one of his pouches under his coat, checking to see the contents of the caravan. "Arseholes still brought the money with them!" He smirked, thinking to himself. He crawled silently to the edge of the cliffside, hopping down as quietly as possible. He froze for a moment, waiting to see if they had heard him. They hadn't. He stealthy maneuvered around the other side of the caravan. While the two thugs were busy securing the mech, he quietly slipped in, grabbed the pouch full of gil and slid back out. Nahue made sure to be very careful to not let the purse jingle as he slipped it under his cloak. He grinned, listening for a moment. Pure silence. He went pale, turning to see the men facing him.

"Oi! Think yer goin' somewhere lad?" The lalafell spat.
Nahue folded his arms,leaning back against the wagon. "No, but I imagine you will be." The men seemed confused, looking to each other. Nahue's ears perked as the sound of chain and metal approached, "Right on time too." Nahue pointed behind the two men; they looked to see the Lominsian guard approaching on their Chocobos.

"HALT!" The two men shrieked, heading off in different directions. Nahue held his hands up as the guards approached, "I told you sirs, there were going to be some men out here smuggling," He paused, pointing in both directions, "Just doing my duty, they each ran in opposite directions." The guards nodded, chasing after the men. "Can't believe they didn't see that one coming," Nahu muttered, as he walked towards Limsa, to get his father, and their belongings, out of the city. </spoiler>

====Year One====
<spoiler>Before Dalamud falls, Nahue sneaks aboard the vessel Shining Hope to escape imminent destruction. He spent two weeks undetected on the vessel, sneaking food and supplies from the passengers who had now settled on the island called Menphina's Breath. One evening he stumbled through a female Miqo'te's campsite, named Manari at which point he fled and she gave chase. Upon being caught by her, she welcomed him with open arms. As the weeks went by, they became close, spending all of their time together. Nahue worked tirelessly to keep up with Manari on her hunts, learning how to track, to navigate silently through the forest and to fire a bow and arrow. It was almost inevitable it seemed, that the two would form a deep and profound relationship that would grow stronger in the years that followed.

Towards the end of the cycle, she gives birth to a healthy baby boy. She names him Ithki, after a boy in her tribe she loved upon Nahue's suggestion.</spoiler>

====Year Two====
<spoiler>
Nahue learns the ways of parenthood after Manari's child is born. They both begin to understand the responsibilities of being a parent. Nahue is always eager to assist his mate and comes to love her child as if it was his own. After moving to the village for her child, Manari pushes for a return to the mainland and Nahue eagerly agrees, wanting to visit his childhood home and pick up a few things. Once back on the mainland, they stay in Limsa Lominsa briefly to allow Nahue to visit his father's shop, picking up a few needed supplies and his gil savings from the job he completed prior to his departure. He returns home to find it destroyed, only able to salvage a few essentials and some of the money that he had. This sends him into a minor depression until he learns that his father is still alive. He leaves a note for him and makes leave for the Black Shroud with Manari.

They arrive to find things both better, and different. Nahue consoles his mate through the adjustment of a changed home and is able to afford a residence and a small workshop in Gridania where the three of them start a happy life as a normal family.
</spoiler>

====Year Three====
<spoiler>

As Nahue settles in to his new life in Gridania, his mate strives to return to the woods to restore her home. After some convincing, he relents, wishing her to do what makes her happy, even if it might be dangerous. In a short amount of time, his workshop is set up properly. Using his father's standards to run his business he quickly becomes successful, even hiring on a few apprentices to take care of some of the work while he stays at home and helps care for their child while Manari travels the woods.

During a family walk through the woods, they are attacked by Manari's former mentor, Nahkokko. Manari fights back, far more adept at combat than Nahue, while he defends their child. They were able to drive back the small group of poachers that were sent after them, that is, until Nahkokko flanked them, engaging in direct combat with Nahue. During the course of the fight, Nahue had to protect Ithki, diving in front of him as Nahkokko swung her axe, severing his arm and taking it as a trophy before leaving them. Nahu could never blame his mate for the incident, constantly telling her that it was okay, and Ithki was safe and that's all that mattered.

Nahue misses his mate on most nights, as she takes to the woods to resume her training, leaving him at home to care for Ithki. The loss of his arm takes a toll on him, unable to work as he once did, he leaves his employees to do most of the labor his profession required.

He falls into a deep depression during this time, at which point Nahkokko launched an attack on Manari while she was in the Twelveswood, and on Nahue while he was at home in Gridania. He entered their home, taunting Nahue and his injury. She injured him and knocked him unconscious, waking shortly after Manari made it home, with Ithki nowhere to be found.

Manari left home immediately, not returning for suns while Nahue stayed home and regained his strength, all while grieving for his mate, and their child. Upon her return home, she was broken, hysterical and covered in grime and blood. He cleaned her up, consoling her as best as he could during this traumatic time. Nahue and Manari's relationship grew strained, Manari, now unable to listen to anything Nahue had to say, had gone on nightly trips hunting the Twelveswood. Unsure of what to do, Nahue tried to be there for her as best as he could, and during the day, returned to work, where he slowly began finding his passion again.

It didn't take him long to develop a basic prostethic for his missing limb. It was non-mechanical, but it hid his injury in public and helped him escape his depression.
