==Appearance==<br />
W'Khael sports somewhat-tanned skin, bright silver eyes, and fiery hair that's been streaked with a burnt orange. He's of taller height for a Miqo'te, and tends to wear any clothing that's non-restrictive. He rarely carries any visible weapons, but always seems to be able to pull a knife from sheer air. Probably has pockets. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
W'Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious, introverted, and callous nature from early on. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, and took in aether at a far higher rate than normal mages - however, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this. It got stronger as the years went on, but really wasn't much of a problem besides the occasional unexplainable flip-flops of emotion. He and his sister were raised by their parents and their separate tribes, and he made trips between the Silver Spire Coven house and the Wolf Tribe's lands in northeastern Thavnair seasonally. Though unbeknownst to his family, he would also sneak away from the W Tribe at night, finding his way to local towns and cities and learning tricks from the magicians and dancers of the streets. For a while, he was happy. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaand then, the murders began. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami had already returned to the S Tribe for the season when it happened, but Khael made the unfortunate choice of staying behind a bit longer at the Silver Spire's house. Unfortunately, due to this, Khael woke up one night in some sort of unexplainable panic, and wandered in on a horror that he'll never be able to unsee or unfeel. The 12-year-old slipped out of the house in the middle of the night, and accidentally found his parents, having just been fatally struck by some sort of shadowy figure. He tried desperately to revive his parents, but was unlucky, and the Coven was unable to help. Terrified and devastated, he and the Coven called S'ami back for the burials, but didn't apprise her of the details - those, he kept to himself. Then, when all was done, despite their refusal, he and S'ami were split up to their parents' separate tribes. He was then raised by his tribe for the next year, his power steadily developing - or, rather, becoming more understandable. He discovered that his 'power' was simply the uncontrollable ability of taking in aether from all sources around him; it allowed him to read peoples' emotions, and, more extremely, to take on parts of their aether and personality and feelings of it was in very near proximity to them. It was the worst when he touched someone. When comforting a friend, once, he also discovered that 'taking in' aether meant from ''all'' sources; when he wanted so desperately to heal her emotional pain, he accidentally started pulling the aether from her, leading to him doing his best to avoid touching anyone without some form of barrier so that he didn't hurt them. Not long after displaying these tendencies, a small group of well-trusted members of the Wolf Tribe began enlisting the 13-year-old's aid in small tasks, and he felt like he had some stability. This continued until Dalamud reddened the sky. <br /><br />
<br />
The night of Dalamud's fall, W'khael was almost instantly beset by an overwhelming flux of aether. It was so painful and all-encompassing that he was unable to sense the danger that befell him, and he was knocked out and kidnapped by a small group of members of the W and S tribes who he had long considered his and S'ami's friends. He woke up to find himself and S'ami captive, and everything just ''hurt''. As it turned out, the group believed S'ami and W'khael's existences to be unnatural, and blamed them for Dalamud's fall - which was honesty probably just an excuse, because they already didn't like the two for being the result of members of different tribes leaving and starting their own family. Still, something was wrong with the group - they were far stronger and more callous than W'khael had ever seen them, and he didn't recognise all of them. While their backs were turned, for the first Time, W'khael managed to coalesce some of the aether he was taking in, turning it into a knife and cutting him and S'ami free. He pushed her to sneak out - she, however, thought that that wasn't good enough, and that they'd get caught. Terrified of what could happen, without telling W'khael in Time, S'ami unleashed an explosion of aether above their heads - a bright one, that permanently damaged their eyesight but blinded the cultists enough for the two to escape and run.| <br /> <br />
<br />
But it wasn't so easy. Because of course it wasn't. Because I'm writing this part. <br /> <br />
<br />
What happened next is uncertain, because S'ami is skittish about it and W'khael has no memory about it. Supposedly, S'ami made it outside of the cavern, but a conflux of aether from her spell collapsed a large part of it, trapping W'khael inside with several injured cultists. All that was found when the debris was lifted was several long-dead, shrivelled corpses, and no W'khael. Who knows what happened in there while Answers played? <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
W'khael has said very little about what happened in the following years, and his story has changed several Times - I'm sure it's nothing to be worried about. Supposedly, when the Calamity actually ''hit'', W'khael was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, everything was calm and still, and any last vestiges of personality he'd been clinging to were gone. For the next few weeks, he spent his days like a literal ghost, wandering until he found himself in the Black Shroud and barely even being conscious enough to pick a berry every now and then. The aether of the Calamity flooded his system with constant pain and voices, only finally starting to dull after maybe a few months of him walking around the forest in a near-catatonic (CAT-atonic) fugue state. <br /> <br />
<br />
Supposedly, it was during these years that he picked up his penchant for humming when he's scared or in pain - something about focusing. That's not important either. <br /><br />
<br />
That being said, even when the pain started to fade, W'khael was still little more than a ghost. He became a part of the forest for the next three years, basically a forest spirit of the Shroud who was rarely seen by anything besides the Shroud's animals. With the way that his aether became intertwined into Hydaelyn's, he became near-invisible to anything or anyone besides those looking directly at him - an ability that he can still call on to this day, albeit consciously. He had a few encounters over the years, but rarely spoke or interacted with anything besides critters. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily for W'Khael, his sister never gave up hope that he was still alive somewhere - she felt it in her twin bones. At the age of 16, she convinced her new master, Aya Numi, to try tracking him down. A wild chase of very little information led the two to The Black Shroud, and, after maybe a month of careful and precise searching, they ended up running into him. It took another month to gain his trust - Aya's aether was chaotic and unsafe to him, but S'ami's was calm and familiar, and he eventually began interacting with them. When he got close enough, one day, Aya grabbed him, like the feral cat he was. He fought her, but her aetherial protections were stronger than he anticipated. At first, Aya assumed that there was nothing left of him to save, but the thought of telling S'ami that was too devastating a thought. So, she fought him, and spoke to him, and, after a mental battle between the two, he broke down in her arms. He was still far from ''back'', but the moment of humanity and vulnerability was all that Aya needed to be convinced that there was something in him that could be saved. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aya and S'ami brought W'khael back to one of Aya's hotels, closing off an entire wing and securing it so that he was basically a very lavish prisoner for a few weeks. All the while, Aya and S'ami gained more of his trust, and he began having more and more moments of very-near-clarity. With perseverance and care, S'ami and Aya eventually broke through to him. They still didn't allow him near other people quiiiite yet, but he really did become a person again. Over the next few months, they worked with him to form some semblance of his personality again - especially Aya, who understood more than S'ami that he wasn't quite the same boy he'd been, and that he'd probably never be fully, 100% himself again. But he did his best, and came close to something like his old self eventually - a happy-go-lucky boy who just wanted to make people smile. That being said, when his memories came back and he had a presence of self again, he became somewhat terrified of how unwittingly strong his abilities had become. Aya calmed him down, and promised that she would teach him to control these abilities, just as she'd taught S'ami to control her own. He agreed, and so, after giving him a crystal-lined choker to help him control his aetherial intake, she tentatively started letting him be around other people again. <br /> <br />
<br />
Not long after W'khael became a literal person again, he and S'ami brought Aya to the old Silver Spire house to see if it was still working - and it very much was, albeit barely. Under the direction of a dejected Clover Daley, it seemed that much of the old coven had fled after Dalamud's wake, trying to put the murders behind them. Soon, the three began working with Clover to get the coven up-and-running again. It worked, and it was fantastic! <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaaaaaaand then the murders began again. <br /> <br />
<br />
It was slow, really, but it was obvious that the murders of the coven members had never really stopped. The group became scared, and W'khael was terrified of losing all of the people that he'd only just come back to. So, they started working together to solve these murders once and for all. <br /> <br />
<br />
Enter Yu'nan. <br /> <br />
<br />
Clover took the group to Gridania one night, hoping to introduce them to Yu'nan, the owner of a reagents shop that she had been going to since before the first bout of murders. However, before they could get there, a woman - who is, evidently, still at large - burst into the middle of the group, illusioning herself to look like Clover and running off to confuse the guards that were after her. After a permissive nod from Aya, W'khael hippity-hopped into the shadows of Gridania, chasing the woman down. Unfortunately, one of the largest side-effects of W'khael's properties of aetherial intake include a massive susceptibility to spells and curses - something that the woman accidentally took advantage of, in ensorcelling him {Nat 1 + -3 ayyye} and leaving him basically half-drunk on romantic aether in a back-alley of Gridania where he drawled on about his whole story to a moogle for hours. When he finally had the ability to stand back, he wandered to where he remembered the group having gone - Clover had given them all the address, just in case something catastrophic happened. Unfortunately, he got there just after everyone had gone for the night - evidently, he heard some rumours on the way there about some run-in they'd had with an immortal squirrel in the mud just barely outside of Gridania's gates, or some such. Luckily, Yu'nan, despite having closed his shop for the night, opened it at W'khael's knocking. The miqo'te shopkeep clearly understood that W'khael had been magically drugged, because he took the boy in, shutting the door and giving him a drought to help with the aether sickness that had come with the spell. Yu'nan Linkshelled Aya to tell her not to worry anymore, that he would keep W'khael there for the night to watch over him and make sure that the aether faded without any negative side-effects. This, of course, was news to W'khael, but he was in too much of a state to properly argue. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily, Yu'nan was clearly the kindest and most innocent person on Hydaelyn, because he did exactly what he said he would - woop. Despite mentioning that he'd been about to leave for the night, he instead opted to stay with W'khael, giving him a spare bedroom and plenty of water. W'khael fell in and out of a fitful sleep, and Yu'nan was always in the room with him, watching cautiously. Maybe a lil bit creepily, but there's nothing creepy about that guy whatsoever. Anyways, W'khael finally seemed to duck the spell way too late in the evening, maybe 3 am-ish - and Yu'nan was still with him, albeit probably half-asleep. W'khael finally had a clear head, and thanked Yu'nan for everything, saying that he felt well enough to leave if he was taking up too much space; Yu'nan probably laughed about it, and said that it was really no bother, and that W'khael was far safer with him than trying to get home alone ((Insert 'So anyways, that was a lie' meme here)). Yu'nan probably murmured something like 'rest well' and rubbed W'khael behind the ears before starting to head off for the night, and it was at that moment that W'khael realised two things for the first Time: A, that he probably wasn't exactly straight, but ''B'', that he didn't feel anything from Yu'nan. No aether, no emotion, no personality. Nothing. When Yu'nan touched him, there was nothing. No rush. No fear of accidentally harming the man. At the Time, W'khael was too stunned and confused to say anything, so he let Yu'nan leave for the night. In the morning, he thanked him again, and tried to pay - but Yu'nan assured him that there was no worry there, and that he just wanted W'khael to be safe. Probably said something along the lines of 'who knows what's lurking outside, probably serial killers or something'. Anyways, W'khael left, deciding to figure out on his own what was up with the man and not return until he'd thought it through. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, that probably lasted until about that night. After apologising profusely to Aya for being gone so long, W'khael said that was again going to be gone for long, because he had to figure out what was going on. Begrudgingly, Aya agreed, but told him that he absolutely had to check in with her every now and then if he did so. He agreed, and went back to Yu'nan's shop that night under the pretense of forgetting to buy something, not long after closing. Yu'nan probably kicked a limb under the table and then told him that he was welcome whenever. W'khael rented a room from him, and, not long after he checked in with Aya, Yu'nan probably showed up. He, undoubtedly, figured that something was up; W'khael is probably the worst liar in all of Hydaelyn. W'khael explained what was going on, and basically accidentally smacked Yu'nan several Times while trying to explain nigh-incoherently what he was - or, rather, wasn't - feeling. However, Yu'nan caught his wrist one of these Times, and basically told him to sit down and watch himself. Probably said something like 'if you're going to touch me, you'd better try something better' or something like that. Who knows? Not me, because we didn't RP this part, and have only kinda talked about the generals a bit. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, they proceeded to... For lack of an RPC-appropriate term, let's say that they proceeded to have approximately 327 amorous encounters over the next four-ish months of the arc. We don't know what the count references. We don't know what counts as '1', we just know that there was a count of 327. We don't ask questions, especially since they're both... NPCs? Playable-NPCs? Regardless, to be serious for once: W'khael and Yu'nan struck up something that was somewhere between an affair and a not-quite-relationship. Though Yu'nan didn't seem to have much emotion in the affair - or, at least, appeared not to - W'khael had to fight hard to stay the same way, since it was the first Time in his life he'd ever been able to give himself to someone without fear of hurting them or losing himself in the process. <br /> <br />
<br />
Which makes the fact that Yu'nan was a deranged serial killer all the worse, honestly. <br /> <br />
<br />
Yes, after four-ish months of investigation, it turned out that Yu'nan - whose real name was Yu'zars - had actually been killing mages the realm over and stealing some of their body parts to rebuild the body of his near-dead sister, who was being held in a lab in the basement under the shop. Which is probably the exact opposite of what W'khael had been expecting from the affair. Regardless, W'khael was thrown for an emotional loop, and shut down from the realisation that he'd been being used this whole Time. He turned to sarcasm and joking to hide the pain, playing it off to anyone who'd suspected the affair like it had been basically just an emotionless fling. Though he tried to work through the emotions on his own, constant embattlement from Yu'zars against the coven and uprootments from all ends - including the coven's house burning to the ground - led to him having no real Time for it, so he ended up surrounding himself with other people so that he didn't have to worry about his own emotions. He helped the Paladin James to help heal their friend, Lucky Penny, the night of the house's fire, throwing himself into work. It was the first Time in a long Time that he helped anyone to kill anything, let alone any''one'', and some part of him became terrified of how easy it all returned to him. In this case, he explained it away, arguing with himself that it was to help someone - but, he was sorely reminded that that was always what he thought. It was that night of drinking and half-merriment between the three friends that W'khael realised with horror that, maybe, the reason he'd fallen so quickly for Yu'nan may have been the very fact that the two were more similar than he wanted to ever admit - this, he didn't admit to them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Fighting Yu'zars was easy enough - W'khael latched onto the emotions and the anger of everyone around him, and threw himself into the battle. Luckily, nobody had to kill the man, as his very abomination of a 'sister' did it for them - though, this was the first Time in a long Time that W'khael wasn't actually able to ''feel'' the death, so he still isn't sure about if he's come to terms with it. The same went for the coven's leader, Clover; she had been taken by Yu'zars, but was left unfound and likely dead. Luckily, there was some form of merriment after all; the group managed to recover a woman named Aera, and released all of the spirits and souls that Yu'zars had captured over the years, finally allowing them - and the coven - some rest. <br /> <br />
<br />
Did W'khael disappear at some point during this final battle? Uh... maybe! I'm sure it's fine. <br /><br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
<br />
Currently, W'khael is still with The Silver Spire, who is currently pushing forward with new trials and tribulations. He still doesn't know how to come to terms with his feelings; he hangs out around people far more often than he used to, latching on to the merriment and whirlwinds of emotions that he feels from others to keep him afloat. When alone, he finds himself almost apathetic about the betrayal - not callous, but still numb. Still, he tries to be the same as always - more than anything, and more than ever before, he just wants people to be happy. He enjoys it when he gets to partake in that happiness; the smile of a friend is the greatest gift to him. <br /> <br />
<br />
Honestly, with everything going on right now, and another cult on the coven's trail... he's doing surprisingly well. Old God portals, cult attacks, and the undead, and this nerd is just over here baking bread and painting houses for people. He's doing great! <br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
When first meeting W'khael, you'll very quickly find him to be a kind, nerdy, friendly, and sorta clumsy individual. Parts of his personality still aren't filled in from his Time in the forest - and might never be - so he can space on things, and, whenever he lapses on a sort of judgement in his own head, he grasps onto complimenting someone or finding some sort of kind remark to add to the conversation. He's often regarded as spacey and naïve at Times, but he's upbeat and energetic, loves his friends, and always wants people to be able to smile. If he detects that someone's emotionally hiding something, he'll press a bit - until he realises that, no, bad W'khael, some people have secrets, and he'll pull back. However, if you have a character who you want to spill something but wouldn't do it without some prodding, he's your guy. As long as one of his friends is trying, at literally anything, he's always going to be proud of them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Though it may not be obvious when first meeting him, W'khael's personality will change depending on his location, his surroundings, and who else is in the room, as threads of all personalities and histories will begin unintentionally bleeding into his own. <br /><br />
<br />
If you get to know W'khael, and he is more comfortable around you, or you catch him unaware of your presence somehow, you'll find that he's actually a very calm, kind, and introverted individual. He adores the night, and will just lay on The Silver Spire's house's roof looking at the stars, or closing his eyes and letting the breeze ruffle his hair. <br /><br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
Need a therapist who will push you if you really want your character to spill the beans about something but know that they probably wouldn't? W'khael's your guy! He's also always just there to be a pal. If you also really want someone to pester your character about them and their past, he's there for that, too; he's not a big fan of talking about his own, for obvious reasons, so tends to ask a lot of questions about whoever he's with (unless they're clearly uncomfortable, of course). <br />

==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
W'Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious, introverted, and callous nature from early on. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, and took in aether at a far higher rate than normal mages - however, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this. It got stronger as the years went on, but really wasn't much of a problem besides the occasional unexplainable flip-flops of emotion. He and his sister were raised by their parents and their separate tribes, and he made trips between the Silver Spire Coven house and the Wolf Tribe's lands in northeastern Thavnair seasonally. Though unbeknownst to his family, he would also sneak away from the W Tribe at night, finding his way to local towns and cities and learning tricks from the magicians and dancers of the streets. For a while, he was happy. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaand then, the murders began. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami had already returned to the S Tribe for the season when it happened, but Khael made the unfortunate choice of staying behind a bit longer at the Silver Spire's house. Unfortunately, due to this, Khael woke up one night in some sort of unexplainable panic, and wandered in on a horror that he'll never be able to unsee or unfeel. The 12-year-old slipped out of the house in the middle of the night, and accidentally found his parents, having just been fatally struck by some sort of shadowy figure. He tried desperately to revive his parents, but was unlucky, and the Coven was unable to help. Terrified and devastated, he and the Coven called S'ami back for the burials, but didn't apprise her of the details - those, he kept to himself. Then, when all was done, despite their refusal, he and S'ami were split up to their parents' separate tribes. He was then raised by his tribe for the next year, his power steadily developing - or, rather, becoming more understandable. He discovered that his 'power' was simply the uncontrollable ability of taking in aether from all sources around him; it allowed him to read peoples' emotions, and, more extremely, to take on parts of their aether and personality and feelings of it was in very near proximity to them. It was the worst when he touched someone. When comforting a friend, once, he also discovered that 'taking in' aether meant from ''all'' sources; when he wanted so desperately to heal her emotional pain, he accidentally started pulling the aether from her, leading to him doing his best to avoid touching anyone without some form of barrier so that he didn't hurt them. Not long after displaying these tendencies, a small group of well-trusted members of the Wolf Tribe began enlisting the 13-year-old's aid in small tasks, and he felt like he had some stability. This continued until Dalamud reddened the sky. <br /><br />
<br />
The night of Dalamud's fall, W'khael was almost instantly beset by an overwhelming flux of aether. It was so painful and all-encompassing that he was unable to sense the danger that befell him, and he was knocked out and kidnapped by a small group of members of the W and S tribes who he had long considered his and S'ami's friends. He woke up to find himself and S'ami captive, and everything just ''hurt''. As it turned out, the group believed S'ami and W'khael's existences to be unnatural, and blamed them for Dalamud's fall - which was honesty probably just an excuse, because they already didn't like the two for being the result of members of different tribes leaving and starting their own family. Still, something was wrong with the group - they were far stronger and more callous than W'khael had ever seen them, and he didn't recognise all of them. While their backs were turned, for the first Time, W'khael managed to coalesce some of the aether he was taking in, turning it into a knife and cutting him and S'ami free. He pushed her to sneak out - she, however, thought that that wasn't good enough, and that they'd get caught. Terrified of what could happen, without telling W'khael in Time, S'ami unleashed an explosion of aether above their heads - a bright one, that permanently damaged their eyesight but blinded the cultists enough for the two to escape and run.| <br /> <br />
<br />
But it wasn't so easy. Because of course it wasn't. Because I'm writing this part. <br /> <br />
<br />
What happened next is uncertain, because S'ami is skittish about it and W'khael has no memory about it. Supposedly, S'ami made it outside of the cavern, but a conflux of aether from her spell collapsed a large part of it, trapping W'khael inside with several injured cultists. All that was found when the debris was lifted was several long-dead, shrivelled corpses, and no W'khael. Who knows what happened in there while Answers played? <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
W'khael has said very little about what happened in the following years, and his story has changed several Times - I'm sure it's nothing to be worried about. Supposedly, when the Calamity actually ''hit'', W'khael was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, everything was calm and still, and any last vestiges of personality he'd been clinging to were gone. For the next few weeks, he spent his days like a literal ghost, wandering until he found himself in the Black Shroud and barely even being conscious enough to pick a berry every now and then. The aether of the Calamity flooded his system with constant pain and voices, only finally starting to dull after maybe a few months of him walking around the forest in a near-catatonic (CAT-atonic) fugue state. <br /> <br />
<br />
Supposedly, it was during these years that he picked up his penchant for humming when he's scared or in pain - something about focusing. That's not important either. <br /><br />
<br />
That being said, even when the pain started to fade, W'khael was still little more than a ghost. He became a part of the forest for the next three years, basically a forest spirit of the Shroud who was rarely seen by anything besides the Shroud's animals. With the way that his aether became intertwined into Hydaelyn's, he became near-invisible to anything or anyone besides those looking directly at him - an ability that he can still call on to this day, albeit consciously. He had a few encounters over the years, but rarely spoke or interacted with anything besides critters. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily for W'Khael, his sister never gave up hope that he was still alive somewhere - she felt it in her twin bones. At the age of 16, she convinced her new master, Aya Numi, to try tracking him down. A wild chase of very little information led the two to The Black Shroud, and, after maybe a month of careful and precise searching, they ended up running into him. It took another month to gain his trust - Aya's aether was chaotic and unsafe to him, but S'ami's was calm and familiar, and he eventually began interacting with them. When he got close enough, one day, Aya grabbed him, like the feral cat he was. He fought her, but her aetherial protections were stronger than he anticipated. At first, Aya assumed that there was nothing left of him to save, but the thought of telling S'ami that was too devastating a thought. So, she fought him, and spoke to him, and, after a mental battle between the two, he broke down in her arms. He was still far from ''back'', but the moment of humanity and vulnerability was all that Aya needed to be convinced that there was something in him that could be saved. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aya and S'ami brought W'khael back to one of Aya's hotels, closing off an entire wing and securing it so that he was basically a very lavish prisoner for a few weeks. All the while, Aya and S'ami gained more of his trust, and he began having more and more moments of very-near-clarity. With perseverance and care, S'ami and Aya eventually broke through to him. They still didn't allow him near other people quiiiite yet, but he really did become a person again. Over the next few months, they worked with him to form some semblance of his personality again - especially Aya, who understood more than S'ami that he wasn't quite the same boy he'd been, and that he'd probably never be fully, 100% himself again. But he did his best, and came close to something like his old self eventually - a happy-go-lucky boy who just wanted to make people smile. That being said, when his memories came back and he had a presence of self again, he became somewhat terrified of how unwittingly strong his abilities had become. Aya calmed him down, and promised that she would teach him to control these abilities, just as she'd taught S'ami to control her own. He agreed, and so, after giving him a crystal-lined choker to help him control his aetherial intake, she tentatively started letting him be around other people again. <br /> <br />
<br />
Not long after W'khael became a literal person again, he and S'ami brought Aya to the old Silver Spire house to see if it was still working - and it very much was, albeit barely. Under the direction of a dejected Clover Daley, it seemed that much of the old coven had fled after Dalamud's wake, trying to put the murders behind them. Soon, the three began working with Clover to get the coven up-and-running again. It worked, and it was fantastic! <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaaaaaaand then the murders began again. <br /> <br />
<br />
It was slow, really, but it was obvious that the murders of the coven members had never really stopped. The group became scared, and W'khael was terrified of losing all of the people that he'd only just come back to. So, they started working together to solve these murders once and for all. <br /> <br />
<br />
Enter Yu'nan. <br /> <br />
<br />
Clover took the group to Gridania one night, hoping to introduce them to Yu'nan, the owner of a reagents shop that she had been going to since before the first bout of murders. However, before they could get there, a woman - who is, evidently, still at large - burst into the middle of the group, illusioning herself to look like Clover and running off to confuse the guards that were after her. After a permissive nod from Aya, W'khael hippity-hopped into the shadows of Gridania, chasing the woman down. Unfortunately, one of the largest side-effects of W'khael's properties of aetherial intake include a massive susceptibility to spells and curses - something that the woman accidentally took advantage of, in ensorcelling him {Nat 1 + -3 ayyye} and leaving him basically half-drunk on romantic aether in a back-alley of Gridania where he drawled on about his whole story to a moogle for hours. When he finally had the ability to stand back, he wandered to where he remembered the group having gone - Clover had given them all the address, just in case something catastrophic happened. Unfortunately, he got there just after everyone had gone for the night - evidently, he heard some rumours on the way there about some run-in they'd had with an immortal squirrel in the mud just barely outside of Gridania's gates, or some such. Luckily, Yu'nan, despite having closed his shop for the night, opened it at W'khael's knocking. The miqo'te shopkeep clearly understood that W'khael had been magically drugged, because he took the boy in, shutting the door and giving him a drought to help with the aether sickness that had come with the spell. Yu'nan Linkshelled Aya to tell her not to worry anymore, that he would keep W'khael there for the night to watch over him and make sure that the aether faded without any negative side-effects. This, of course, was news to W'khael, but he was in too much of a state to properly argue. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily, Yu'nan was clearly the kindest and most innocent person on Hydaelyn, because he did exactly what he said he would - woop. Despite mentioning that he'd been about to leave for the night, he instead opted to stay with W'khael, giving him a spare bedroom and plenty of water. W'khael fell in and out of a fitful sleep, and Yu'nan was always in the room with him, watching cautiously. Maybe a lil bit creepily, but there's nothing creepy about that guy whatsoever. Anyways, W'khael finally seemed to duck the spell way too late in the evening, maybe 3 am-ish - and Yu'nan was still with him, albeit probably half-asleep. W'khael finally had a clear head, and thanked Yu'nan for everything, saying that he felt well enough to leave if he was taking up too much space; Yu'nan probably laughed about it, and said that it was really no bother, and that W'khael was far safer with him than trying to get home alone ((Insert 'So anyways, that was a lie' meme here)). Yu'nan probably murmured something like 'rest well' and rubbed W'khael behind the ears before starting to head off for the night, and it was at that moment that W'khael realised two things for the first Time: A, that he probably wasn't exactly straight, but ''B'', that he didn't feel anything from Yu'nan. No aether, no emotion, no personality. Nothing. When Yu'nan touched him, there was nothing. No rush. No fear of accidentally harming the man. At the Time, W'khael was too stunned and confused to say anything, so he let Yu'nan leave for the night. In the morning, he thanked him again, and tried to pay - but Yu'nan assured him that there was no worry there, and that he just wanted W'khael to be safe. Probably said something along the lines of 'who knows what's lurking outside, probably serial killers or something'. Anyways, W'khael left, deciding to figure out on his own what was up with the man and not return until he'd thought it through. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, that probably lasted until about that night. After apologising profusely to Aya for being gone so long, W'khael said that was again going to be gone for long, because he had to figure out what was going on. Begrudgingly, Aya agreed, but told him that he absolutely had to check in with her every now and then if he did so. He agreed, and went back to Yu'nan's shop that night under the pretense of forgetting to buy something, not long after closing. Yu'nan probably kicked a limb under the table and then told him that he was welcome whenever. W'khael rented a room from him, and, not long after he checked in with Aya, Yu'nan probably showed up. He, undoubtedly, figured that something was up; W'khael is probably the worst liar in all of Hydaelyn. W'khael explained what was going on, and basically accidentally smacked Yu'nan several Times while trying to explain nigh-incoherently what he was - or, rather, wasn't - feeling. However, Yu'nan caught his wrist one of these Times, and basically told him to sit down and watch himself. Probably said something like 'if you're going to touch me, you'd better try something better' or something like that. Who knows? Not me, because we didn't RP this part, and have only kinda talked about the generals a bit. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, they proceeded to... For lack of an RPC-appropriate term, let's say that they proceeded to have approximately 327 amorous encounters over the next four-ish months of the arc. We don't know what the count references. We don't know what counts as '1', we just know that there was a count of 327. We don't ask questions, especially since they're both... NPCs? Playable-NPCs? Regardless, to be serious for once: W'khael and Yu'nan struck up something that was somewhere between an affair and a not-quite-relationship. Though Yu'nan didn't seem to have much emotion in the affair - or, at least, appeared not to - W'khael had to fight hard to stay the same way, since it was the first Time in his life he'd ever been able to give himself to someone without fear of hurting them or losing himself in the process. <br /> <br />
<br />
Which makes the fact that Yu'nan was a deranged serial killer all the worse, honestly. <br /> <br />
<br />
Yes, after four-ish months of investigation, it turned out that Yu'nan - whose real name was Yu'zars - had actually been killing mages the realm over and stealing some of their body parts to rebuild the body of his near-dead sister, who was being held in a lab in the basement under the shop. Which is probably the exact opposite of what W'khael had been expecting from the affair. Regardless, W'khael was thrown for an emotional loop, and shut down from the realisation that he'd been being used this whole Time. He turned to sarcasm and joking to hide the pain, playing it off to anyone who'd suspected the affair like it had been basically just an emotionless fling. Though he tried to work through the emotions on his own, constant embattlement from Yu'zars against the coven and uprootments from all ends - including the coven's house burning to the ground - led to him having no real Time for it, so he ended up surrounding himself with other people so that he didn't have to worry about his own emotions. He helped the Paladin James to help heal their friend, Lucky Penny, the night of the house's fire, throwing himself into work. It was the first Time in a long Time that he helped anyone to kill anything, let alone any''one'', and some part of him became terrified of how easy it all returned to him. In this case, he explained it away, arguing with himself that it was to help someone - but, he was sorely reminded that that was always what he thought. It was that night of drinking and half-merriment between the three friends that W'khael realised with horror that, maybe, the reason he'd fallen so quickly for Yu'nan may have been the very fact that the two were more similar than he wanted to ever admit - this, he didn't admit to them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Fighting Yu'zars was easy enough - W'khael latched onto the emotions and the anger of everyone around him, and threw himself into the battle. Luckily, nobody had to kill the man, as his very abomination of a 'sister' did it for them - though, this was the first Time in a long Time that W'khael wasn't actually able to ''feel'' the death, so he still isn't sure about if he's come to terms with it. The same went for the coven's leader, Clover; she had been taken by Yu'zars, but was left unfound and likely dead. Luckily, there was some form of merriment after all; the group managed to recover a woman named Aera, and released all of the spirits and souls that Yu'zars had captured over the years, finally allowing them - and the coven - some rest. <br /> <br />
<br />
Did W'khael disappear at some point during this final battle? Uh... maybe! I'm sure it's fine. <br /><br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
<br />
Currently, W'khael is still with The Silver Spire, who is currently pushing forward with new trials and tribulations. He still doesn't know how to come to terms with his feelings; he hangs out around people far more often than he used to, latching on to the merriment and whirlwinds of emotions that he feels from others to keep him afloat. When alone, he finds himself almost apathetic about the betrayal - not callous, but still numb. Still, he tries to be the same as always - more than anything, and more than ever before, he just wants people to be happy. He enjoys it when he gets to partake in that happiness; the smile of a friend is the greatest gift to him. <br /> <br />
<br />
Honestly, with everything going on right now, and another cult on the coven's trail... he's doing surprisingly well. Old God portals, cult attacks, and the undead, and this nerd is just over here baking bread and painting houses for people. He's doing great! <br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
When first meeting W'khael, you'll very quickly find him to be a kind, nerdy, friendly, and sorta clumsy individual. Parts of his personality still aren't filled in from his Time in the forest - and might never be - so he can space on things, and, whenever he lapses on a sort of judgement in his own head, he grasps onto complimenting someone or finding some sort of kind remark to add to the conversation. He's often regarded as spacey and naïve at Times, but he's upbeat and energetic, loves his friends, and always wants people to be able to smile. If he detects that someone's emotionally hiding something, he'll press a bit - until he realises that, no, bad W'khael, some people have secrets, and he'll pull back. However, if you have a character who you want to spill something but wouldn't do it without some prodding, he's your guy. As long as one of his friends is trying, at literally anything, he's always going to be proud of them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Though it may not be obvious when first meeting him, W'khael's personality will change depending on his location, his surroundings, and who else is in the room, as threads of all personalities and histories will begin unintentionally bleeding into his own. <br /><br />
<br />
If you get to know W'khael, and he is more comfortable around you, or you catch him unaware of your presence somehow, you'll find that he's actually a very calm, kind, and introverted individual. He adores the night, and will just lay on The Silver Spire's house's roof looking at the stars, or closing his eyes and letting the breeze ruffle his hair. <br /><br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
Need a therapist who will push you if you really want your character to spill the beans about something but know that they probably wouldn't? W'khael's your guy! He's also always just there to be a pal. If you also really want someone to pester your character about them and their past, he's there for that, too; he's not a big fan of talking about his own, for obvious reasons, so tends to ask a lot of questions about whoever he's with (unless they're clearly uncomfortable, of course). <br />

==Appearance==<br />
W'Khael sports somewhat-tanned skin, bright silver eyes, and fiery hair that's been streaked with a burnt orange. He's medium height for a Miqo'te, and tends to wear any clothing that's non-restrictive. He rarely carries any visible weapons, but always seems to be able to pull a knife from sheer air. Probably has pockets. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
W'Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious, introverted, and callous nature from early on. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, and took in aether at a far higher rate than normal mages - however, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this. It got stronger as the years went on, but really wasn't much of a problem besides the occasional unexplainable flip-flops of emotion. He and his sister were raised by their parents and their separate tribes, and he made trips between the Silver Spire Coven house and the Wolf Tribe's lands monthly. Though unbeknownst to his family, he would also sneak away from the W Tribe at night, finding his way to local towns and cities and learning tricks from the magicians and dancers of the streets. For a while, he was happy. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaand then, the murders began. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami had already returned to the S Tribe for the season when it happened, but Khael made the unfortunate choice of staying behind a bit longer at the Silver Spire's house. Unfortunately, due to this, Khael woke up one night in some sort of unexplainable panic, and wandered in on a horror that he'll never be able to unsee or unfeel. The 12-year-old slipped out of the house in the middle of the night, and accidentally found his parents, having just been fatally struck by some sort of shadowy figure. He tried desperately to revive his parents, but was unlucky, and the Coven was unable to help. Terrified and devastated, he and the Coven called S'ami back for the burials, but didn't apprise her of the details - those, he kept to himself. Then, when all was done, despite their refusal, he and S'ami were split up to their parents' separate tribes. He was then raised by his tribe for the next year, his power steadily developing - or, rather, becoming more understandable. He discovered that his 'power' was simply the uncontrollable ability of taking in aether from all sources around him; it allowed him to read peoples' emotions, and, more extremely, to take on parts of their aether and personality and feelings of it was in very near proximity to them. It was the worst when he touched someone. When comforting a friend, once, he also discovered that 'taking in' aether meant from ''all'' sources; when he wanted so desperately to heal her emotional pain, he accidentally started pulling the aether from her, leading to him doing his best to avoid touching anyone without some form of barrier so that he didn't hurt them. Not long after displaying these tendencies, a small group of well-trusted members of the Wolf Tribe began enlisting the 13-year-old's aid in small tasks, and he felt like he had some stability. This continued until Dalamud reddened the sky. <br /><br />
<br />
The night of Dalamud's fall, W'khael was almost instantly beset by an overwhelming flux of aether. It was so painful and all-encompassing that he was unable to sense the danger that befell him, and he was knocked out and kidnapped by a small group of members of the W and S tribes who he had long considered his and S'ami's friends. He woke up to find himself and S'ami captive, and everything just ''hurt''. As it turned out, the group believed S'ami and W'khael's existences to be unnatural, and blamed them for Dalamud's fall - which was honesty probably just an excuse, because they already didn't like the two for being the result of members of different tribes leaving and starting their own family. Still, something was wrong with the group - they were far stronger and more callous than W'khael had ever seen them, and he didn't recognise all of them. While their backs were turned, for the first Time, W'khael managed to coalesce some of the aether he was taking in, turning it into a knife and cutting him and S'ami free. He pushed her to sneak out - she, however, thought that that wasn't good enough, and that they'd get caught. Terrified of what could happen, without telling W'khael in Time, S'ami unleashed an explosion of aether above their heads - a bright one, that permanently damaged their eyesight but blinded the cultists enough for the two to escape and run.| <br /> <br />
<br />
But it wasn't so easy. Because of course it wasn't. Because I'm writing this part. <br /> <br />
<br />
What happened next is uncertain, because S'ami is skittish about it and W'khael has no memory about it. Supposedly, S'ami made it outside of the cavern, but a conflux of aether from her spell collapsed a large part of it, trapping W'khael inside with several injured cultists. All that was found when the debris was lifted was several long-dead, shrivelled corpses, and no W'khael. Who knows what happened in there while Answers played? <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
W'khael has said very little about what happened in the following years, and his story has changed several Times - I'm sure it's nothing to be worried about. Supposedly, when the Calamity actually ''hit'', W'khael was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, everything was calm and still, and any last vestiges of personality he'd been clinging to were gone. For the next few weeks, he spent his days like a literal ghost, wandering until he found himself in the Black Shroud and barely even being conscious enough to pick a berry every now and then. The aether of the Calamity flooded his system with constant pain and voices, only finally starting to dull after maybe a few months of him walking around the forest in a near-catatonic (CAT-atonic) fugue state. <br /> <br />
<br />
Supposedly, it was during these years that he picked up his penchant for humming when he's scared or in pain - something about focusing. That's not important either. <br /><br />
<br />
That being said, even when the pain started to fade, W'khael was still little more than a ghost. He became a part of the forest for the next three years, basically a forest spirit of the Shroud who was rarely seen by anything besides the Shroud's animals. With the way that his aether became intertwined into Hydaelyn's, he became near-invisible to anything or anyone besides those looking directly at him - an ability that he can still call on to this day, albeit consciously. He had a few encounters over the years, but rarely spoke or interacted with anything besides critters. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily for W'Khael, his sister never gave up hope that he was still alive somewhere - she felt it in her twin bones. At the age of 16, she convinced her new master, Aya Numi, to try tracking him down. A wild chase of very little information led the two to The Black Shroud, and, after maybe a month of careful and precise searching, they ended up running into him. It took another month to gain his trust - Aya's aether was chaotic and unsafe to him, but S'ami's was calm and familiar, and he eventually began interacting with them. When he got close enough, one day, Aya grabbed him, like the feral cat he was. He fought her, but her aetherial protections were stronger than he anticipated. At first, Aya assumed that there was nothing left of him to save, but the thought of telling S'ami that was too devastating a thought. So, she fought him, and spoke to him, and, after a mental battle between the two, he broke down in her arms. He was still far from ''back'', but the moment of humanity and vulnerability was all that Aya needed to be convinced that there was something in him that could be saved. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aya and S'ami brought W'khael back to one of Aya's hotels, closing off an entire wing and securing it so that he was basically a very lavish prisoner for a few weeks. All the while, Aya and S'ami gained more of his trust, and he began having more and more moments of very-near-clarity. With perseverance and care, S'ami and Aya eventually broke through to him. They still didn't allow him near other people quiiiite yet, but he really did become a person again. Over the next few months, they worked with him to form some semblance of his personality again - especially Aya, who understood more than S'ami that he wasn't quite the same boy he'd been, and that he'd probably never be fully, 100% himself again. But he did his best, and came close to something like his old self eventually - a happy-go-lucky boy who just wanted to make people smile. That being said, when his memories came back and he had a presence of self again, he became somewhat terrified of how unwittingly strong his abilities had become. Aya calmed him down, and promised that she would teach him to control these abilities, just as she'd taught S'ami to control her own. He agreed, and so, after giving him a crystal-lined choker to help him control his aetherial intake, she tentatively started letting him be around other people again. <br /> <br />
<br />
Not long after W'khael became a literal person again, he and S'ami brought Aya to the old Silver Spire house to see if it was still working - and it very much was, albeit barely. Under the direction of a dejected Clover Daley, it seemed that much of the old coven had fled after Dalamud's wake, trying to put the murders behind them. Soon, the three began working with Clover to get the coven up-and-running again. It worked, and it was fantastic! <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaaaaaaand then the murders began again. <br /> <br />
<br />
It was slow, really, but it was obvious that the murders of the coven members had never really stopped. The group became scared, and W'khael was terrified of losing all of the people that he'd only just come back to. So, they started working together to solve these murders once and for all. <br /> <br />
<br />
Enter Yu'nan. <br /> <br />
<br />
Clover took the group to Gridania one night, hoping to introduce them to Yu'nan, the owner of a reagents shop that she had been going to since before the first bout of murders. However, before they could get there, a woman - who is, evidently, still at large - burst into the middle of the group, illusioning herself to look like Clover and running off to confuse the guards that were after her. After a permissive nod from Aya, W'khael hippity-hopped into the shadows of Gridania, chasing the woman down. Unfortunately, one of the largest side-effects of W'khael's properties of aetherial intake include a massive susceptibility to spells and curses - something that the woman accidentally took advantage of, in ensorcelling him {Nat 1 + -3 ayyye} and leaving him basically half-drunk on romantic aether in a back-alley of Gridania where he drawled on about his whole story to a moogle for hours. When he finally had the ability to stand back, he wandered to where he remembered the group having gone - Clover had given them all the address, just in case something catastrophic happened. Unfortunately, he got there just after everyone had gone for the night - evidently, he heard some rumours on the way there about some run-in they'd had with an immortal squirrel in the mud just barely outside of Gridania's gates, or some such. Luckily, Yu'nan, despite having closed his shop for the night, opened it at W'khael's knocking. The miqo'te shopkeep clearly understood that W'khael had been magically drugged, because he took the boy in, shutting the door and giving him a drought to help with the aether sickness that had come with the spell. Yu'nan Linkshelled Aya to tell her not to worry anymore, that he would keep W'khael there for the night to watch over him and make sure that the aether faded without any negative side-effects. This, of course, was news to W'khael, but he was in too much of a state to properly argue. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily, Yu'nan was clearly the kindest and most innocent person on Hydaelyn, because he did exactly what he said he would - woop. Despite mentioning that he'd been about to leave for the night, he instead opted to stay with W'khael, giving him a spare bedroom and plenty of water. W'khael fell in and out of a fitful sleep, and Yu'nan was always in the room with him, watching cautiously. Maybe a lil bit creepily, but there's nothing creepy about that guy whatsoever. Anyways, W'khael finally seemed to duck the spell way too late in the evening, maybe 3 am-ish - and Yu'nan was still with him, albeit probably half-asleep. W'khael finally had a clear head, and thanked Yu'nan for everything, saying that he felt well enough to leave if he was taking up too much space; Yu'nan probably laughed about it, and said that it was really no bother, and that W'khael was far safer with him than trying to get home alone ((Insert 'So anyways, that was a lie' meme here)). Yu'nan probably murmured something like 'rest well' and rubbed W'khael behind the ears before starting to head off for the night, and it was at that moment that W'khael realised two things for the first Time: A, that he probably wasn't exactly straight, but ''B'', that he didn't feel anything from Yu'nan. No aether, no emotion, no personality. Nothing. When Yu'nan touched him, there was nothing. No rush. No fear of accidentally harming the man. At the Time, W'khael was too stunned and confused to say anything, so he let Yu'nan leave for the night. In the morning, he thanked him again, and tried to pay - but Yu'nan assured him that there was no worry there, and that he just wanted W'khael to be safe. Probably said something along the lines of 'who knows what's lurking outside, probably serial killers or something'. Anyways, W'khael left, deciding to figure out on his own what was up with the man and not return until he'd thought it through. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, that probably lasted until about that night. After apologising profusely to Aya for being gone so long, W'khael said that was again going to be gone for long, because he had to figure out what was going on. Begrudgingly, Aya agreed, but told him that he absolutely had to check in with her every now and then if he did so. He agreed, and went back to Yu'nan's shop that night under the pretense of forgetting to buy something, not long after closing. Yu'nan probably kicked a limb under the table and then told him that he was welcome whenever. W'khael rented a room from him, and, not long after he checked in with Aya, Yu'nan probably showed up. He, undoubtedly, figured that something was up; W'khael is probably the worst liar in all of Hydaelyn. W'khael explained what was going on, and basically accidentally smacked Yu'nan several Times while trying to explain nigh-incoherently what he was - or, rather, wasn't - feeling. However, Yu'nan caught his wrist one of these Times, and basically told him to sit down and watch himself. Probably said something like 'if you're going to touch me, you'd better try something better' or something like that. Who knows? Not me, because we didn't RP this part, and have only kinda talked about the generals a bit. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, they proceeded to... For lack of an RPC-appropriate term, let's say that they proceeded to have approximately 327 amorous encounters over the next four-ish months of the arc. We don't know what the count references. We don't know what counts as '1', we just know that there was a count of 327. We don't ask questions, especially since they're both... NPCs? Playable-NPCs? Regardless, to be serious for once: W'khael and Yu'nan struck up something that was somewhere between an affair and a not-quite-relationship. Though Yu'nan didn't seem to have much emotion in the affair - or, at least, appeared not to - W'khael had to fight hard to stay the same way, since it was the first Time in his life he'd ever been able to give himself to someone without fear of hurting them or losing himself in the process. <br /> <br />
<br />
Which makes the fact that Yu'nan was a deranged serial killer all the worse, honestly. <br /> <br />
<br />
Yes, after four-ish months of investigation, it turned out that Yu'nan - whose real name was Yu'zars - had actually been killing mages the realm over and stealing some of their body parts to rebuild the body of his near-dead sister, who was being held in a lab in the basement under the shop. Which is probably the exact opposite of what W'khael had been expecting from the affair. Regardless, W'khael was thrown for an emotional loop, and shut down from the realisation that he'd been being used this whole Time. He turned to sarcasm and joking to hide the pain, playing it off to anyone who'd suspected the affair like it had been basically just an emotionless fling. Though he tried to work through the emotions on his own, constant embattlement from Yu'zars against the coven and uprootments from all ends - including the coven's house burning to the ground - led to him having no real Time for it, so he ended up surrounding himself with other people so that he didn't have to worry about his own emotions. He helped the Paladin James to help heal their friend, Lucky Penny, the night of the house's fire, throwing himself into work. It was the first Time in a long Time that he helped anyone to kill anything, let alone any''one'', and some part of him became terrified of how easy it all returned to him. In this case, he explained it away, arguing with himself that it was to help someone - but, he was sorely reminded that that was always what he thought. It was that night of drinking and half-merriment between the three friends that W'khael realised with horror that, maybe, the reason he'd fallen so quickly for Yu'nan may have been the very fact that the two were more similar than he wanted to ever admit - this, he didn't admit to them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Fighting Yu'zars was easy enough - W'khael latched onto the emotions and the anger of everyone around him, and threw himself into the battle. Luckily, nobody had to kill the man, as his very abomination of a 'sister' did it for them - though, this was the first Time in a long Time that W'khael wasn't actually able to ''feel'' the death, so he still isn't sure about if he's come to terms with it. The same went for the coven's leader, Clover; she had been taken by Yu'zars, but was left unfound and likely dead. Luckily, there was some form of merriment after all; the group managed to recover a woman named Aera, and released all of the spirits and souls that Yu'zars had captured over the years, finally allowing them - and the coven - some rest. <br /> <br />
<br />
Did W'khael disappear at some point during this final battle? Uh... maybe! I'm sure it's fine. <br /><br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
<br />
Currently, W'khael is still with The Silver Spire, who is currently pushing forward with new trials and tribulations. He still doesn't know how to come to terms with his feelings; he hangs out around people far more often than he used to, latching on to the merriment and whirlwinds of emotions that he feels from others to keep him afloat. When alone, he finds himself almost apathetic about the betrayal - not callous, but still numb. Still, he tries to be the same as always - more than anything, and more than ever before, he just wants people to be happy. He enjoys it when he gets to partake in that happiness; the smile of a friend is the greatest gift to him. <br /> <br />
<br />
Honestly, with everything going on right now, and another cult on the coven's trail... he's doing surprisingly well. Old God portals, cult attacks, and the undead, and this nerd is just over here baking bread and painting houses for people. He's doing great! <br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
When first meeting W'khael, you'll very quickly find him to be a kind, nerdy, friendly, and sorta clumsy individual. Parts of his personality still aren't filled in from his Time in the forest - and might never be - so he can space on things, and, whenever he lapses on a sort of judgement in his own head, he grasps onto complimenting someone or finding some sort of kind remark to add to the conversation. He's often regarded as spacey and naïve at Times, but he's upbeat and energetic, loves his friends, and always wants people to be able to smile. If he detects that someone's emotionally hiding something, he'll press a bit - until he realises that, no, bad W'khael, some people have secrets, and he'll pull back. However, if you have a character who you want to spill something but wouldn't do it without some prodding, he's your guy. As long as one of his friends is trying, at literally anything, he's always going to be proud of them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Though it may not be obvious when first meeting him, W'khael's personality will change depending on his location, his surroundings, and who else is in the room, as threads of all personalities and histories will begin unintentionally bleeding into his own. <br /><br />
<br />
If you get to know W'khael, and he is more comfortable around you, or you catch him unaware of your presence somehow, you'll find that he's actually a very calm, kind, and introverted individual. He adores the night, and will just lay on The Silver Spire's house's roof looking at the stars, or closing his eyes and letting the breeze ruffle his hair. <br /><br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
Need a therapist who will push you if you really want your character to spill the beans about something but know that they probably wouldn't? W'khael's your guy! He's also always just there to be a pal. If you also really want someone to pester your character about them and their past, he's there for that, too; he's not a big fan of talking about his own, for obvious reasons, so tends to ask a lot of questions about whoever he's with (unless they're clearly uncomfortable, of course). <br />

==Appearance==<br />
W'Khael sports somewhat-tanned skin, bright silver eyes, and fiery hair that's been streaked with a burnt orange. He's medium height for a Miqo'te, and tends to wear any clothing that's non-restrictive. He rarely carries any visible weapons, but always seems to be able to pull a knife from sheer air. Probably has pockets. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
W'Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious, introverted, and callous nature from early on. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, and took in aether at a far higher rate than normal mages - however, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this. It got stronger as the years went on, but really wasn't much of a problem besides the occasional unexplainable flip-flops of emotion. He and his sister were raised by their parents and their separate tribes, and he made trips between the Silver Spire Coven house and the Wolf Tribe's lands monthly. Though unbeknownst to his family, he would also sneak away from the W Tribe at night, finding his way to local towns and cities and learning tricks from the magicians and dancers of the streets. For a while, he was happy. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaand then, the murders began. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami had already returned to the S Tribe for the season when it happened, but Khael made the unfortunate choice of staying behind a bit longer at the Silver Spire's house. Unfortunately, due to this, Khael woke up one night in some sort of unexplainable panic, and wandered in on a horror that he'll never be able to unsee or unfeel. The 12-year-old slipped out of the house in the middle of the night, and accidentally found his parents, having just been fatally struck by some sort of shadowy figure. He tried desperately to revive his parents, but was unlucky, and the Coven was unable to help. Terrified and devastated, he and the Coven called S'ami back for the burials, but didn't apprise her of the details - those, he kept to himself. Then, when all was done, despite their refusal, he and S'ami were split up to their parents' separate tribes. He was then raised by his tribe for the next year, his power steadily developing - or, rather, becoming more understandable. He discovered that his 'power' was simply the uncontrollable ability of taking in aether from all sources around him; it allowed him to read peoples' emotions, and, more extremely, to take on parts of their aether and personality and feelings of it was in very near proximity to them. It was the worst when he touched someone. When comforting a friend, once, he also discovered that 'taking in' aether meant from ''all'' sources; when he wanted so desperately to heal her emotional pain, he accidentally started pulling the aether from her, leading to him doing his best to avoid touching anyone without some form of barrier so that he didn't hurt them. Not long after displaying these tendencies, a small group of well-trusted members of the Wolf Tribe began enlisting the 13-year-old's aid in small tasks, and he felt like he had some stability. This continued until Dalamud reddened the sky. <br /><br />
<br />
The night of Dalamud's fall, W'khael was almost instantly beset by an overwhelming flux of aether. It was so painful and all-encompassing that he was unable to sense the danger that befell him, and he was knocked out and kidnapped by a small group of members of the W and S tribes who he had long considered his and S'ami's friends. He woke up to find himself and S'ami captive, and everything just ''hurt''. As it turned out, the group believed S'ami and W'khael's existences to be unnatural, and blamed them for Dalamud's fall - which was honesty probably just an excuse, because they already didn't like the two for being the result of members of different tribes leaving and starting their own family. Still, something was wrong with the group - they were far stronger and more callous than W'khael had ever seen them, and he didn't recognise all of them. While their backs were turned, for the first Time, W'khael managed to coalesce some of the aether he was taking in, turning it into a knife and cutting him and S'ami free. He pushed her to sneak out - she, however, thought that that wasn't good enough, and that they'd get caught. Terrified of what could happen, without telling W'khael in Time, S'ami unleashed an explosion of aether above their heads - a bright one, that permanently damaged their eyesight but blinded the cultists enough for the two to escape and run. <br /> <br />
<br />
But it wasn't so easy. Because of course it wasn't. Because I'm writing this part. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami made it outside of the cavern, but a conflux of aether from her spell collapsed a large part of it, trapping W'khael inside with several injured cultists. The snap of aether was too much for him; unable to control his intake of it, W'khael was overwhelmed, and just about lost everything in his mind that made him himself besides one thing: he never wanted anyone to be in pain. Overtaken by the highly neutral nature of Hydaelyn's aether, W'khael became a vessel of neutral will, and crawled to where the nearest cultist was dying. Consumed by the desire to stop the pain, he pulled the very aether from the dying man, taking the pain into himself and drawing everything until every essence of life was gone. Believing that he'd done something right - hey, the guy wasn't in pain anymore - W'khael did the same thing to the other injured cultists, until he was trapped alone with nothing but seven shrivelled corpses. <br /> <br />
<br />
W'khael, unfortunately, was left in his neutral daze, Hydaelyn's overflow of aether having broken away any sense of real personality. The only thing that almost spoke to him was S'ami's voice as she tried to break back through the barrier, but by then, he was too far gone. He found another exit, and watched on as Dalamud fell and Answers played. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
When the Calamity actually ''hit'', W'Khael was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, everything was calm and still, and any last vestiges of personality he'd been clinging to were gone. For the next few weeks, he spent his days like a literal ghost, wandering until he found himself in the Black Shroud and barely even being conscious enough to pick a berry every now and then. The aether of the Calamity flooded his system with constant pain and voices, only finally starting to dull after maybe a few months of him walking around the forest in a near-catatonic (CAT-atonic) fugue state. <br /> <br />
<br />
That being said, even when the pain started to fade, W'khael was still little more than a ghost. He became a part of the forest for the next three years, basically a forest spirit of the Shroud who was rarely seen by anything besides the Shroud's animals. With the way that his aether became intertwined into Hydaelyn's, he became near-invisible to anything or anyone besides those looking directly at him - an ability that he can still call on to this day, albeit consciously. He had a few encounters over the years, but rarely spoke or interacted with anything besides critters. If he ever 'helped'/killed anyone else during his years in the Shroud, he doesn't remember. He hopes not, but it's very likely. ((I know. I rolled the dice. He'll probably never find out, though. :) )) <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily for W'Khael, his sister never gave up hope that he was still alive somewhere - she felt it in her twin bones. At the age of 16, she convinced her new master, Aya Numi, to try tracking him down. A wild chase of very little information led the two to The Black Shroud, and, after maybe a month of careful and precise searching, they ended up running into him. It took another month to gain his trust - Aya's aether was chaotic and unsafe to him, but S'ami's was calm and familiar, and he eventually began interacting with them. When he got close enough, one day, Aya grabbed him, like the feral cat he was. He fought her, but her aetherial protections were stronger than he anticipated. At first, Aya assumed that there was nothing left of him to save, but the thought of telling S'ami that was too devastating a thought. So, she fought him, and spoke to him, and, after a mental battle between the two, he broke down in her arms. He was still far from ''back'', but the moment of humanity and vulnerability was all that Aya needed to be convinced that there was something in him that could be saved. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aya and S'ami brought W'khael back to one of Aya's hotels, closing off an entire wing and securing it so that he was basically a very lavish prisoner for a few weeks. All the while, Aya and S'ami gained more of his trust, and he began having more and more moments of very-near-clarity. With perseverance and care, S'ami and Aya eventually broke through to him. They still didn't allow him near other people quiiiite yet, but he really did become a person again. Over the next few months, they worked with him to form some semblance of his personality again - especially Aya, who understood more than S'ami that he wasn't quite the same boy he'd been, and that he'd probably never be fully, 100% himself again. But he did his best, and came close to something like his old self eventually - a happy-go-lucky boy who just wanted to make people smile. That being said, when his memories came back and he had a presence of self again, he became somewhat terrified of how unwittingly strong his abilities had become. Aya calmed him down, and promised that she would teach him to control these abilities, just as she'd taught S'ami to control her own. He agreed, and so, after giving him a crystal-lined choker to help him control his aetherial intake, she tentatively started letting him be around other people again. <br /> <br />
<br />
Not long after W'khael became a literal person again, he and S'ami brought Aya to the old Silver Spire house to see if it was still working - and it very much was, albeit barely. Under the direction of a dejected Clover Daley, it seemed that much of the old coven had fled after Dalamud's wake, trying to put the murders behind them. Soon, the three began working with Clover to get the coven up-and-running again. It worked, and it was fantastic! <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaaaaaaand then the murders began again. <br /> <br />
<br />
It was slow, really, but it was obvious that the murders of the coven members had never really stopped. The group became scared, and W'khael was terrified of losing all of the people that he'd only just come back to. So, they started working together to solve these murders once and for all. <br /> <br />
<br />
Enter Yu'nan. <br /> <br />
<br />
Clover took the group to Gridania one night, hoping to introduce them to Yu'nan, the owner of a reagents shop that she had been going to since before the first bout of murders. However, before they could get there, a woman - who is, evidently, still at large - burst into the middle of the group, illusioning herself to look like Clover and running off to confuse the guards that were after her. After a permissive nod from Aya, W'khael hippity-hopped into the shadows of Gridania, chasing the woman down. Unfortunately, one of the largest side-effects of W'khael's properties of aetherial intake include a massive susceptibility to spells and curses - something that the woman accidentally took advantage of, in ensorcelling him {Nat 1 + -3 ayyye} and leaving him basically half-drunk on romantic aether in a back-alley of Gridania where he drawled on about his whole story to a moogle for hours. When he finally had the ability to stand back, he wandered to where he remembered the group having gone - Clover had given them all the address, just in case something catastrophic happened. Unfortunately, he got there just after everyone had gone for the night - evidently, he heard some rumours on the way there about some run-in they'd had with an immortal squirrel in the mud just barely outside of Gridania's gates, or some such. Luckily, Yu'nan, despite having closed his shop for the night, opened it at W'khael's knocking. The miqo'te shopkeep clearly understood that W'khael had been magically drugged, because he took the boy in, shutting the door and giving him a drought to help with the aether sickness that had come with the spell. Yu'nan Linkshelled Aya to tell her not to worry anymore, that he would keep W'khael there for the night to watch over him and make sure that the aether faded without any negative side-effects. This, of course, was news to W'khael, but he was in too much of a state to properly argue. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily, Yu'nan was clearly the kindest and most innocent person on Hydaelyn, because he did exactly what he said he would - woop. Despite mentioning that he'd been about to leave for the night, he instead opted to stay with W'khael, giving the (18-year-old; that's important) boy a spare bedroom and plenty of water. W'khael fell in and out of a fitful sleep, and Yu'nan was always in the room with him, watching cautiously. Maybe a lil bit creepily, but there's nothing creepy about that guy whatsoever. Anyways, W'khael finally seemed to duck the spell way too late in the evening, maybe 3 am-ish - and Yu'nan was still with him, albeit probably half-asleep. W'khael finally had a clear head, and thanked Yu'nan for everything, saying that he felt well enough to leave if he was taking up too much space; Yu'nan probably laughed about it, and said that it was really no bother, and that W'khael was far safer with him than trying to get home alone ((Insert 'So anyways, that was a lie' meme here)). Yu'nan probably murmured something like 'rest well' and rubbed W'khael behind the ears before starting to head off for the night, and it was at that moment that W'khael realised two things for the first Time: A, that he probably wasn't exactly straight, but ''B'', that he didn't feel anything from Yu'nan. No aether, no emotion, no personality. Nothing. When Yu'nan touched him, there was nothing. No rush. No fear of accidentally harming the man. At the Time, W'khael was too stunned and confused to say anything, so he let Yu'nan leave for the night. In the morning, he thanked him again, and tried to pay - but Yu'nan assured him that there was no worry there, and that he just wanted W'khael to be safe. Probably said something along the lines of 'who knows what's lurking outside, probably serial killers or something'. Anyways, W'khael left, deciding to figure out on his own what was up with the man and not return until he'd thought it through. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, that probably lasted until about that night. After apologising profusely to Aya for being gone so long, W'khael said that was again going to be gone for long, because he had to figure out what was going on. Begrudgingly, Aya agreed, but told him that he absolutely had to check in with her every now and then if he did so. He agreed, and went back to Yu'nan's shop that night under the pretense of forgetting to buy something, not long after closing. Yu'nan probably kicked a limb under the table and then told him that he was welcome whenever. W'khael rented a room from him, and, not long after he checked in with Aya, Yu'nan probably showed up. He, undoubtedly, figured that something was up; W'khael is probably the worst liar in all of Hydaelyn. W'khael explained what was going on, and basically accidentally smacked Yu'nan several Times while trying to explain nigh-incoherently what he was - or, rather, wasn't - feeling. However, Yu'nan caught his wrist one of these Times, and basically told him to sit down and watch himself. Probably said something like 'if you're going to touch me, you'd better try something better' or something like that. Who knows? Not me, because we didn't RP this part, and have only kinda talked about the generals a bit. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, they proceeded to... For lack of an RPC-appropriate term, let's say that they proceeded to have approximately 327 amorous encounters over the next four-ish months of the arc. We don't know what the count references. We don't know what counts as '1', we just know that there was a count of 327. We don't ask questions, especially since one of them was an... NPC? A playable-NPC? Regardless, to be serious for once: W'khael and Yu'nan struck up something that was somewhere between an affair and a not-quite-relationship. Though Yu'nan didn't seem to have much emotion in the affair - or, at least, appeared not to - W'khael had to fight hard to stay the same way, since it was the first Time in his life he'd ever been able to give himself to someone without fear of hurting them or losing himself in the process. <br /> <br />
<br />
Which makes the fact that Yu'nan was a deranged serial killer all the worse, honestly. <br /> <br />
<br />
Yes, after four-ish months of investigation, it turned out that Yu'nan - whose real name was Yu'zars - had actually been killing mages the realm over and stealing some of their body parts to rebuild the body of his near-dead sister, who was being held in a lab in the basement under the shop. Which is probably the exact opposite of what W'khael had been expecting from the affair. Regardless, W'khael was thrown for an emotional loop, and shut down from the realisation that he'd been being used this whole Time. He turned to sarcasm and joking to hide the pain, playing it off to anyone who'd suspected the affair like it had been basically just an emotionless fling. Though he tried to work through the emotions on his own, constant embattlement from Yu'zars against the coven and uprootments from all ends - including the coven's house burning to the ground - led to him having no real Time for it, so he ended up surrounding himself with other people so that he didn't have to worry about his own emotions. He helped the Paladin James to help heal their friend, Lucky Penny, the night of the house's fire, throwing himself into work. It was the first Time in a long Time that he helped anyone to kill anything, let alone any''one'', and some part of him became terrified of how easy it all returned to him. In this case, he explained it away, arguing with himself that it was to help someone - but, he was sorely reminded that that was always what he thought. It was that night of drinking and half-merriment between the three friends that W'khael realised with horror that, maybe, the reason he'd fallen so quickly for Yu'nan may have been the very fact that the two were more similar than he wanted to ever admit - this, he didn't admit to them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Fighting Yu'zars was easy enough - W'khael latched onto the emotions and the anger of everyone around him, and threw himself into the battle. Luckily, nobody had to kill the man, as his very abomination of a 'sister' did it for them - though, this was the first Time in a long Time that W'khael wasn't actually able to ''feel'' the death, so he still isn't sure about if he's come to terms with it. The same went for the coven's leader, Clover; she had been taken by Yu'zars, but was left unfound and likely dead. Luckily, there was some form of merriment after all; the group managed to recover a woman named Aera, and released all of the spirits and souls that Yu'zars had captured over the years, finally allowing them - and the coven - some rest. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
<br />
Currently, W'khael is still with The Silver Spire, who is currently enjoying the dark cloud being lifted from over their heads. He still doesn't know how to come to terms with his feelings; he hangs out around people far more often than he used to, latching on to the merriment and whirlwinds of emotions that he feels from others to keep him afloat. When alone, he finds himself almost apathetic about the betrayal - not callous, but still numb. Still, he tries to be the same as always - more than anything, and more than ever before, he just wants people to be happy. He enjoys it when he gets to partake in that happiness; the smile of a friend is the greatest gift to him. <br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
When first meeting W'khael, you'll very quickly find him to be a kind, nerdy, friendly, and sorta clumsy individual. Parts of his personality still aren't filled in from his Time in the forest - and might never be - so he can space on things, and, whenever he lapses on a sort of judgement in his own head, he grasps onto complimenting someone or finding some sort of kind remark to add to the conversation. He's often regarded as spacey and naïve at Times, but he's upbeat and energetic, loves his friends, and always wants people to be able to smile. If he detects that someone's emotionally hiding something, he'll press a bit - until he realises that, no, bad W'khael, some people have secrets, and he'll pull back. However, if you have a character who you want to spill something but wouldn't do it without some prodding, he's your guy. As long as one of his friends is trying, at literally anything, he's always going to be proud of them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Though it may not be obvious when first meeting him, W'khael's personality will change depending on his location, his surroundings, and who else is in the room, as threads of all personalities and histories will begin unintentionally bleeding into his own. <br /><br />
<br />
If you get to know W'khael, and he is more comfortable around you, or you catch him unaware of your presence somehow, you'll find that he's actually a very calm, kind, and introverted individual. He adores the night, and will just lay on The Silver Spire's house's roof looking at the stars, or closing his eyes and letting the breeze ruffle his hair. <br /><br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
Need a therapist who will push you if you really want your character to spill the beans about something but know that they probably wouldn't? W'khael's your guy! He's also always just there to be a pal. If you also really want someone to pester your character about them and their past, he's there for that, too; he's not a big fan of talking about his own, for obvious reasons, so tends to ask a lot of questions about whoever he's with (unless they're clearly uncomfortable, of course). <br />
<br />
I don't ERP on him, despite his story; Fade to Black is totally fine, but only with someone who he A: has a strong emotional connection with, and B: for some reason doesn't have an aura. <br />

==Appearance==<br />
W'Khael sports somewhat-tanned skin, bright silver eyes, and fiery hair that's been streaked with a burnt orange. He's medium height for a Miqo'te, and tends to wear any clothing that's non-restrictive. He rarely carries any visible weapons, but always seems to be able to pull a knife from sheer air. Probably has pockets. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
W'Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious, introverted, and callous nature from early on. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, and took in aether at a far higher rate than normal mages - however, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this. It got stronger as the years went on, but really wasn't much of a problem besides the occasional unexplainable flip-flops of emotion. He and his sister were raised by their parents and their separate tribes, and he made trips between the Silver Spire Coven house and the Wolf Tribe's lands monthly. Though unbeknownst to his family, he would also sneak away from the W Tribe at night, finding his way to local towns and cities and learning tricks from the magicians and dancers of the streets. For a while, he was happy. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaand then, the murders began. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami had already returned to the S Tribe for the season when it happened, but Khael made the unfortunate choice of staying behind a bit longer at the Silver Spire's house. Unfortunately, due to this, Khael woke up one night in some sort of unexplainable panic, and wandered in on a horror that he'll never be able to unsee or unfeel. The 12-year-old slipped out of the house in the middle of the night, and accidentally found his parents, having just been fatally struck by some sort of shadowy figure. He tried desperately to revive his parents, but was unlucky, and the Coven was unable to help. Terrified and devastated, he and the Coven called S'ami back for the burials, but didn't apprise her of the details - those, he kept to himself. Then, when all was done, despite their refusal, he and S'ami were split up to their parents' separate tribes. He was then raised by his tribe for the next year, his power steadily developing - or, rather, becoming more understandable. He discovered that his 'power' was simply the uncontrollable ability of taking in aether from all sources around him; it allowed him to read peoples' emotions, and, more extremely, to take on parts of their aether and personality and feelings of it was in very near proximity to them. It was the worst when he touched someone. When comforting a friend, once, he also discovered that 'taking in' aether meant from ''all'' sources; when he wanted so desperately to heal her emotional pain, he accidentally started pulling the aether from her, leading to him doing his best to avoid touching anyone without some form of barrier so that he didn't hurt them. Not long after displaying these tendencies, a small group of well-trusted members of the Wolf Tribe began enlisting the 13-year-old's aid in small tasks, and he felt like he had some stability. This continued until Dalamud reddened the sky. <br /><br />
<br />
The night of Dalamud's fall, W'khael was almost instantly beset by an overwhelming flux of aether. It was so painful and all-encompassing that he was unable to sense the danger that befell him, and he was knocked out and kidnapped by a small group of members of the W and S tribes who he had long considered his and S'ami's friends. He woke up to find himself and S'ami captive, and everything just ''hurt''. As it turned out, the group believed S'ami and W'khael's existences to be unnatural, and blamed them for Dalamud's fall - which was honesty probably just an excuse, because they already didn't like the two for being the result of members of different tribes leaving and starting their own family. Still, something was wrong with the group - they were far stronger and more callous than W'khael had ever seen them, and he didn't recognise all of them. Terrified of what could happen, S'ami unleashed an explosion of aether above their heads - a bright one, that permanently damaged their eyesight but blinded the cultists enough for the two to escape and run. <br /> <br />
<br />
But it wasn't so easy. Because of course it wasn't. Because I'm writing this part. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami made it outside of the cavern, but a conflux of aether from her spell collapsed a large part of it, trapping W'khael inside with several injured cultists. The snap of aether was too much for him; unable to control his intake of it, W'khael was overwhelmed, and just about lost everything in his mind that made him himself besides one thing: he never wanted anyone to be in pain. Overtaken by the highly neutral nature of Hydaelyn's aether, W'khael became a vessel of neutral will, and crawled to where the nearest cultist was dying. Consumed by the desire to stop the pain, he pulled the very aether from the dying man, taking the pain into himself and drawing everything until every essence of life was gone. Believing that he'd done something right - hey, the guy wasn't in pain anymore - W'khael did the same thing to the other injured cultists, until he was trapped alone with nothing but seven shrivelled corpses. <br /> <br />
<br />
W'khael, unforunately, was left in his neutral daze, Hydaelyn's overflow of aether having broken away any sense of real personality. The only thing that almost spoke to him was S'ami's voice as she tried to break back through the barrier, but by then, he was too far gone. He found another exit, and watched on as Dalamud fell and Answers played. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
When the Calamity actually ''hit'', W'Khael was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, everything was calm and still, and any last vestiges of personality he'd been clinging to were gone. For the next few weeks, he spent his days like a literal ghost, wandering until he found himself in the Black Shroud and barely even being conscious enough to pick a berry every now and then. The aether of the Calamity flooded his system with constant pain and voices, only finally starting to dull after maybe a few months of him walking around the forest in a near-catatonic (CAT-atonic) fugue state. <br /> <br />
<br />
That being said, even when the pain started to fade, W'khael was still little more than a ghost. He became a part of the forest for the next three years, basically a forest spirit of the Shroud who was rarely seen by anything besides the Shroud's animals. With the way that his aether became intertwined into Hydaelyn's, he became near-invisible to anything or anyone besides those looking directly at him - an ability that he can still call on to this day, albeit consciously. He had a few encounters over the years, but rarely spoke or interacted with anything besides critters. If he ever 'helped'/killed anyone else during his years in the Shroud, he doesn't remember. He hopes not, but it's very likely. ((I know. I rolled the dice. He'll probably never find out, though. :) )) <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily for W'Khael, his sister never gave up hope that he was still alive somewhere - she felt it in her twin bones. At the age of 16, she convinced her new master, Aya Numi, to try tracking him down. A wild chase of very little information led the two to The Black Shroud, and, after maybe a month of careful and precise searching, they ended up running into him. It took another month to gain his trust - Aya's aether was chaotic and unsafe to him, but S'ami's was calm and familiar, and he eventually began interacting with them. When he got close enough, one day, Aya grabbed him, like the feral cat he was. He fought her, but her aetherial protections were stronger than he anticipated. At first, Aya assumed that there was nothing left of him to save, but the thought of telling S'ami that was too devastating a thought. So, she fought him, and spoke to him, and, after a mental battle between the two, he broke down in her arms. He was still far from ''back'', but the moment of humanity and vulnerability was all that Aya needed to be convinced that there was something in him that could be saved. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aya and S'ami brought W'khael back to one of Aya's hotels, closing off an entire wing and securing it so that he was basically a very lavish prisoner for a few weeks. All the while, Aya and S'ami gained more of his trust, and he began having more and more moments of very-near-clarity. With perseverance and care, S'ami and Aya eventually broke through to him. They still didn't allow him near other people quiiiite yet, but he really did become a person again. Over the next few months, they worked with him to form some semblance of his personality again - especially Aya, who understood more than S'ami that he wasn't quite the same boy he'd been, and that he'd probably never be fully, 100% himself again. But he did his best, and came close to something like his old self eventually - a happy-go-lucky boy who just wanted to make people smile. That being said, when his memories came back and he had a presence of self again, he became somewhat terrified of how unwittingly strong his abilities had become. Aya calmed him down, and promised that she would teach him to control these abilities, just as she'd taught S'ami to control her own. He agreed, and so, after giving him a crystal-lined choker to help him control his aetherial intake, she tentatively started letting him be around other people again. <br /> <br />
<br />
Not long after W'khael became a literal person again, he and S'ami brought Aya to the old Silver Spire house to see if it was still working - and it very much was, albeit barely. Under the direction of a dejected Clover Daley, it seemed that much of the old coven had fled after Dalamud's wake, trying to put the murders behind them. Soon, the three began working with Clover to get the coven up-and-running again. It worked, and it was fantastic! <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaaaaaaand then the murders began again. <br /> <br />
<br />
It was slow, really, but it was obvious that the murders of the coven members had never really stopped. The group became scared, and W'khael was terrified of losing all of the people that he'd only just come back to. So, they started working together to solve these murders once and for all. <br /> <br />
<br />
Enter Yu'nan. <br /> <br />
<br />
Clover took the group to Gridania one night, hoping to introduce them to Yu'nan, the owner of a reagents shop that she had been going to since before the first bout of murders. However, before they could get there, a woman - who is, evidently, still at large - burst into the middle of the group, illusioning herself to look like Clover and running off to confuse the guards that were after her. After a permissive nod from Aya, W'khael hippity-hopped into the shadows of Gridania, chasing the woman down. Unfortunately, one of the largest side-effects of W'khael's properties of aetherial intake include a massive susceptibility to spells and curses - something that the woman accidentally took advantage of, in ensorcelling him {Nat 1 + -3 ayyye} and leaving him basically half-drunk on romantic aether in a back-alley of Gridania where he drawled on about his whole story to a moogle for hours. When he finally had the ability to stand back, he wandered to where he remembered the group having gone - Clover had given them all the address, just in case something catastrophic happened. Unfortunately, he got there just after everyone had gone for the night - evidently, he heard some rumours on the way there about some run-in they'd had with an immortal squirrel in the mud just barely outside of Gridania's gates, or some such. Luckily, Yu'nan, despite having closed his shop for the night, opened it at W'khael's knocking. The miqo'te shopkeep clearly understood that W'khael had been magically drugged, because he took the boy in, shutting the door and giving him a drought to help with the aether sickness that had come with the spell. Yu'nan Linkshelled Aya to tell her not to worry anymore, that he would keep W'khael there for the night to watch over him and make sure that the aether faded without any negative side-effects. This, of course, was news to W'khael, but he was in too much of a state to properly argue. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily, Yu'nan was clearly the kindest and most innocent person on Hydaelyn, because he did exactly what he said he would - woop. Despite mentioning that he'd been about to leave for the night, he instead opted to stay with W'khael, giving the (18-year-old; that's important) boy a spare bedroom and plenty of water. W'khael fell in and out of a fitful sleep, and Yu'nan was always in the room with him, watching cautiously. Maybe a lil bit creepily, but there's nothing creepy about that guy whatsoever. Anyways, W'khael finally seemed to duck the spell way too late in the evening, maybe 3 am-ish - and Yu'nan was still with him, albeit probably half-asleep. W'khael finally had a clear head, and thanked Yu'nan for everything, saying that he felt well enough to leave if he was taking up too much space; Yu'nan probably laughed about it, and said that it was really no bother, and that W'khael was far safer with him than trying to get home alone ((Insert 'So anyways, that was a lie' meme here)). Yu'nan probably murmured something like 'rest well' and rubbed W'khael behind the ears before starting to head off for the night, and it was at that moment that W'khael realised two things for the first Time: A, that he probably wasn't exactly straight, but ''B'', that he didn't feel anything from Yu'nan. No aether, no emotion, no personality. Nothing. When Yu'nan touched him, there was nothing. No rush. No fear of accidentally harming the man. At the Time, W'khael was too stunned and confused to say anything, so he let Yu'nan leave for the night. In the morning, he thanked him again, and tried to pay - but Yu'nan assured him that there was no worry there, and that he just wanted W'khael to be safe. Probably said something along the lines of 'who knows what's lurking outside, probably serial killers or something'. Anyways, W'khael left, deciding to figure out on his own what was up with the man and not return until he'd thought it through. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, that probably lasted until about that night. After apologising profusely to Aya for being gone so long, W'khael said that was again going to be gone for long, because he had to figure out what was going on. Begrudgingly, Aya agreed, but told him that he absolutely had to check in with her every now and then if he did so. He agreed, and went back to Yu'nan's shop that night under the pretense of forgetting to buy something, not long after closing. Yu'nan probably kicked a limb under the table and then told him that he was welcome whenever. W'khael rented a room from him, and, not long after he checked in with Aya, Yu'nan probably showed up. He, undoubtedly, figured that something was up; W'khael is probably the worst liar in all of Hydaelyn. W'khael explained what was going on, and basically accidentally smacked Yu'nan several Times while trying to explain nigh-incoherently what he was - or, rather, wasn't - feeling. However, Yu'nan caught his wrist one of these Times, and basically told him to sit down and watch himself. Probably said something like 'if you're going to touch me, you'd better try something better' or something like that. Who knows? Not me, because we didn't RP this part, and have only kinda talked about the generals a bit. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, they proceeded to... For lack of an RPC-appropriate term, let's say that they proceeded to have approximately 327 amorous encounters over the next four-ish months of the arc. We don't know what the count references. We don't know what counts as '1', we just know that there was a count of 327. We don't ask questions, especially since one of them was an... NPC? A playable-NPC? Regardless, to be serious for once: W'khael and Yu'nan struck up something that was somewhere between an affair and a not-quite-relationship. Though Yu'nan didn't seem to have much emotion in the affair - or, at least, appeared not to - W'khael had to fight hard to stay the same way, since it was the first Time in his life he'd ever been able to give himself to someone without fear of hurting them or losing himself in the process. <br /> <br />
<br />
Which makes the fact that Yu'nan was a deranged serial killer all the worse, honestly. <br /> <br />
<br />
Yes, after four-ish months of investigation, it turned out that Yu'nan - whose real name was Yu'zars - had actually been killing mages the realm over and stealing some of their body parts to rebuild the body of his near-dead sister, who was being held in a lab in the basement under the shop. Which is probably the exact opposite of what W'khael had been expecting from the affair. Regardless, W'khael was thrown for an emotional loop, and shut down from the realisation that he'd been being used this whole Time. He turned to sarcasm and joking to hide the pain, playing it off to anyone who'd suspected the affair like it had been basically just an emotionless fling. Though he tried to work through the emotions on his own, constant embattlement from Yu'zars against the coven and uprootments from all ends - including the coven's house burning to the ground - led to him having no real Time for it, so he ended up surrounding himself with other people so that he didn't have to worry about his own emotions. He helped the Paladin James to help heal their friend, Lucky Penny, the night of the house's fire, throwing himself into work. It was the first Time in a long Time that he helped anyone to kill anything, let alone any''one'', and some part of him became terrified of how easy it all returned to him. In this case, he explained it away, arguing with himself that it was to help someone - but, he was sorely reminded that that was always what he thought. It was that night of drinking and half-merriment between the three friends that W'khael realised with horror that, maybe, the reason he'd fallen so quickly for Yu'nan may have been the very fact that the two were more similar than he wanted to ever admit - this, he didn't admit to them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Fighting Yu'zars was easy enough - W'khael latched onto the emotions and the anger of everyone around him, and threw himself into the battle. Luckily, nobody had to kill the man, as his very abomination of a 'sister' did it for them - though, this was the first Time in a long Time that W'khael wasn't actually able to ''feel'' the death, so he still isn't sure about if he's come to terms with it. The same went for the coven's leader, Clover; she had been taken by Yu'zars, but was left unfound and likely dead. Luckily, there was some form of merriment after all; the group managed to recover a woman named Aera, and released all of the spirits and souls that Yu'zars had captured over the years, finally allowing them - and the coven - some rest. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
<br />
Currently, W'khael is still with The Silver Spire, who is currently enjoying the dark cloud being lifted from over their heads. He still doesn't know how to come to terms with his feelings; he hangs out around people far more often than he used to, latching on to the merriment and whirlwinds of emotions that he feels from others to keep him afloat. When alone, he finds himself almost apathetic about the betrayal - not callous, but still numb. Still, he tries to be the same as always - more than anything, and more than ever before, he just wants people to be happy. He enjoys it when he gets to partake in that happiness; the smile of a friend is the greatest gift to him. <br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
When first meeting W'khael, you'll very quickly find him to be a kind, nerdy, friendly, and sorta clumsy individual. Parts of his personality still aren't filled in from his Time in the forest - and might never be - so he can space on things, and, whenever he lapses on a sort of judgement in his own head, he grasps onto complimenting someone or finding some sort of kind remark to add to the conversation. He's often regarded as spacey and naïve at Times, but he's upbeat and energetic, loves his friends, and always wants people to be able to smile. If he detects that someone's emotionally hiding something, he'll press a bit - until he realises that, no, bad W'khael, some people have secrets, and he'll pull back. However, if you have a character who you want to spill something but wouldn't do it without some prodding, he's your guy. As long as one of his friends is trying, at literally anything, he's always going to be proud of them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Though it may not be obvious when first meeting him, W'khael's personality will change depending on his location, his surroundings, and who else is in the room, as threads of all personalities and histories will begin unintentionally bleeding into his own. <br /><br />
<br />
If you get to know W'khael, and he is more comfortable around you, or you catch him unaware of your presence somehow, you'll find that he's actually a very calm, kind, and introverted individual. He adores the night, and will just lay on The Silver Spire's house's roof looking at the stars, or closing his eyes and letting the breeze ruffle his hair. <br /><br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
Need a therapist who will push you if you really want your character to spill the beans about something but know that they probably wouldn't? W'khael's your guy! He's also always just there to be a pal. If you also really want someone to pester your character about them and their past, he's there for that, too; he's not a big fan of talking about his own, for obvious reasons, so tends to ask a lot of questions about whoever he's with (unless they're clearly uncomfortable, of course). <br />
<br />
I don't ERP on him, despite his story; Fade to Black is totally fine, but only with someone who he A: has a strong emotional connection with, and B: for some reason doesn't have an aura. <br />

==Appearance==<br />
W'Khael sports somewhat-tanned skin, bright silver eyes, and fiery hair that's been streaked with a burnt orange. He's medium height for a Miqo'te, and tends to wear any clothing that's non-restrictive. He rarely carries any visible weapons, but always seems to be able to pull a knife from sheer air. Probably has pockets. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
W'Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious, introverted, and callous nature from early on. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, and took in aether at a far higher rate than normal mages - however, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this. It got stronger as the years went on, but really wasn't much of a problem besides the occasional unexplainable flip-flops of emotion. He and his sister were raised by their parents and their separate tribes, and he made trips between the Silver Spire Coven house and the Wolf Tribe's lands monthly. Though unbeknownst to his family, he would also sneak away from the W Tribe at night, finding his way to local towns and cities and learning tricks from the magicians and dancers of the streets. For a while, he was happy. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaand then, the murders began. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami had already returned to the S Tribe for the season when it happened, but Khael made the unfortunate choice of staying behind a bit longer at the Silver Spire's house. Unfortunately, due to this, Khael woke up one night in some sort of unexplainable panic, and wandered in on a horror that he'll never be able to unsee or unfeel. The 12-year-old slipped out of the house in the middle of the night, and accidentally found his parents, having just been fatally struck by some sort of shadowy figure. He tried desperately to revive his parents, but was unlucky, and the Coven was unable to help. Terrified and devastated, he and the Coven called S'ami back for the burials, but didn't apprise her of the details - those, he kept to himself. Then, when all was done, despite their refusal, he and S'ami were split up to their parents' separate tribes. He was then raised by his tribe for the next year, his power steadily developing - or, rather, becoming more understandable. He discovered that his 'power' was simply the uncontrollable ability of taking in aether from all sources around him; it allowed him to read peoples' emotions, and, more extremely, to take on parts of their aether and personality and feelings of it was in very near proximity to them. It was the worst when he touched someone. When comforting a friend, once, he also discovered that 'taking in' aether meant from ''all'' sources; when he wanted so desperately to heal her emotional pain, he accidentally started pulling the aether from her, leading to him doing his best to avoid touching anyone without some form of barrier so that he didn't hurt them. Not long after displaying these tendencies, a small group of well-trusted members of the Wolf Tribe began enlisting the 13-year-old's aid in small tasks, and he felt like he had some stability. This continued until Dalamud reddened the sky. <br /><br />
<br />
The night of Dalamud's fall, W'khael was almost instantly beset by an overwhelming flux of aether. It was so painful and all-encompassing that he was unable to sense the danger that befell him, and he was knocked out and kidnapped by a small group of members of the W and S tribes who he had long considered his and S'ami's friends. He woke up to find himself and S'ami captive, and everything just ''hurt''. As it turned out, the group believed S'ami and W'khael's existences to be unnatural, and blamed them for Dalamud's fall - which was honesty probably just an excuse, because they already didn't like the two for being the result of members of different tribes leaving and starting their own family. Still, something was wrong with the group - they were far stronger and more callous than W'khael had ever seen them, and he didn't recognise all of them. Terrified of what could happen, S'ami unleashed an explosion of aether above their heads - a bright one, that permanently damaged their eyesight but blinded the cultists enough for the two to escape and run. <br /> <br />
<br />
But it wasn't so easy. Because of course it wasn't. Because I'm writing this part. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami made it outside of the cavern, but a conflux of aether from her spell collapsed a large part of it, trapping W'khael inside with several injured cultists. The snap of aether was too much for him; unable to control his intake of it, W'khael was overwhelmed, and just about lost everything in his mind that made him himself besides one thing: he never wanted anyone to be in pain. Overtaken by the highly neutral nature of Hydaelyn's aether, W'khael became a vessel of neutral will, and crawled to where the nearest cultist was dying. Consumed by the desire to stop the pain, he pulled the very aether from the dying man, taking the pain into himself and drawing everything until every essence of life was gone. Believing that he'd done something right - hey, the guy wasn't in pain anymore - W'khael did the same thing to the other injured cultists, until he was trapped alone with nothing but seven shrivelled corpses. <br /> <br />
<br />
W'khael, unforunately, was left in his neutral daze, Hydaelyn's overflow of aether having broken away any sense of real personality. The only thing that almost spoke to him was S'ami's voice as she tried to break back through the barrier, but by then, he was too far gone. He found another exit, and watched on as Dalamud fell and Answers played. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
When the Calamity actually ''hit'', W'Khael was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, everything was calm and still, and any last vestiges of personality he'd been clinging to were gone. For the next few weeks, he spent his days like a literal ghost, wandering until he found himself in the Black Shroud and barely even being conscious enough to pick a berry every now and then. The aether of the Calamity flooded his system with constant pain and voices, only finally starting to dull after maybe a few months of him walking around the forest in a near-catatonic (CAT-atonic) fugue state. <br /> <br />
<br />
That being said, even when the pain started to fade, W'khael was still little more than a ghost. He became a part of the forest for the next three years, basically a forest spirit of the Shroud who was rarely seen by anything besides the Shroud's animals. With the way that his aether became intertwined into Hydaelyn's, he became near-invisible to anything or anyone besides those looking directly at him - an ability that he can still call on to this day, albeit consciously. He had a few encounters over the years, but rarely spoke or interacted with anything besides critters. If he ever 'helped'/killed anyone else during his years in the Shroud, he doesn't remember. He hopes not, but it's very likely. ((I know. I rolled the dice. He'll probably never find out, though. :) )) <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily for W'Khael, his sister never gave up hope that he was still alive somewhere - she felt it in her twin bones. At the age of 16, she convinced her new master, Aya Numi, to try tracking him down. A wild chase of very little information led the two to The Black Shroud, and, after maybe a month of careful and precise searching, they ended up running into him. It took another month to gain his trust - Aya's aether was chaotic and unsafe to him, but S'ami's was calm and familiar, and he eventually began interacting with them. When he got close enough, one day, Aya grabbed him, like the feral cat he was. He fought her, but her aetherial protections were stronger than he anticipated. At first, Aya assumed that there was nothing left of him to save, but the thought of telling S'ami that was too devastating a thought. So, she fought him, and spoke to him, and, after a mental battle between the two, he broke down in her arms. He was still far from ''back'', but the moment of humanity and vulnerability was all that Aya needed to be convinced that there was something in him that could be saved. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aya and S'ami brought W'khael back to one of Aya's hotels, closing off an entire wing and securing it so that he was basically a very lavish prisoner for a few weeks. All the while, Aya and S'ami gained more of his trust, and he began having more and more moments of very-near-clarity. With perseverance and care, S'ami and Aya eventually broke through to him. They still didn't allow him near other people quiiiite yet, but he really did become a person again. Over the next few months, they worked with him to form some semblance of his personality again - especially Aya, who understood more than S'ami that he wasn't quite the same boy he'd been, and that he'd probably never be fully, 100% himself again. But he did his best, and came close to something like his old self eventually - a happy-go-lucky boy who just wanted to make people smile. That being said, when his memories came back and he had a presence of self again, he became somewhat terrified of how unwittingly strong his abilities had become. Aya calmed him down, and promised that she would teach him to control these abilities, just as she'd taught S'ami to control her own. He agreed, and so, after giving him a crystal-lined choker to help him control his aetherial intake, she tentatively started letting him be around other people again. <br /> <br />
<br />
Not long after W'khael became a literal person again, he and S'ami brought Aya to the old Silver Spire house to see if it was still working - and it very much was, albeit barely. Under the direction of a dejected Clover Daley, it seemed that much of the old coven had fled after Dalamud's wake, trying to put the murders behind them. Soon, the three began working with Clover to get the coven up-and-running again. It worked, and it was fantastic! <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaaaaaaand then the murders began again. <br /> <br />
<br />
It was slow, really, but it was obvious that the murders of the coven members had never really stopped. The group became scared, and W'khael was terrified of losing all of the people that he'd only just come back to. So, they started working together to solve these murders once and for all. <br /> <br />
<br />
Enter Yu'nan. <br /> <br />
<br />
Clover took the group to Gridania one night, hoping to introduce them to Yu'nan, the owner of a reagents shop that she had been going to since before the first bout of murders. However, before they could get there, a woman - who is, evidently, still at large - burst into the middle of the group, illusioning herself to look like Clover and running off to confuse the guards that were after her. After a permissive nod from Aya, W'khael hippity-hopped into the shadows of Gridania, chasing the woman down. Unfortunately, one of the largest side-effects of W'khael's properties of aetherial intake include a massive susceptibility to spells and curses - something that the woman accidentally took advantage of, in ensorcelling him {Nat 1 + -3 ayyye} and leaving him basically half-drunk on romantic aether in a back-alley of Gridania where he drawled on about his whole story to a moogle for hours. When he finally had the ability to stand back, he wandered to where he remembered the group having gone - Clover had given them all the address, just in case something catastrophic happened. Unfortunately, he got there just after everyone had gone for the night - evidently, he heard some rumours on the way there about some run-in they'd had with an immortal squirrel in the mud just barely outside of Gridania's gates, or some such. Luckily, Yu'nan, despite having closed his shop for the night, opened it at W'khael's knocking. The miqo'te shopkeep clearly understood that W'khael had been magically drugged, because he took the boy in, shutting the door and giving him a drought to help with the aether sickness that had come with the spell. Yu'nan Linkshelled Aya to tell her not to worry anymore, that he would keep W'khael there for the night to watch over him and make sure that the aether faded without any negative side-effects. This, of course, was news to W'khael, but he was in too much of a state to properly argue. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily, Yu'nan was clearly the kindest and most innocent person on Hydaelyn, because he did exactly what he said he would - woop. Despite mentioning that he'd been about to leave for the night, he instead opted to stay with W'khael, giving the (18-year-old; that's important) boy a spare bedroom and plenty of water. W'khael fell in and out of a fitful sleep, and Yu'nan was always in the room with him, watching cautiously. Maybe a lil bit creepily, but there's nothing creepy about that guy whatsoever. Anyways, W'khael finally seemed to duck the spell way too late in the evening, maybe 3 am-ish - and Yu'nan was still with him, albeit probably half-asleep. W'khael finally had a clear head, and thanked Yu'nan for everything, saying that he felt well enough to leave if he was taking up too much space; Yu'nan probably laughed about it, and said that it was really no bother, and that W'khael was far safer with him than trying to get home alone ((Insert 'So anyways, that was a lie' meme here)). Yu'nan probably murmured something like 'rest well' and rubbed W'khael behind the ears before starting to head off for the night, and it was at that moment that W'khael realised two things for the first Time: A, that he probably wasn't exactly straight, but ''B'', that he didn't feel anything from Yu'nan. No aether, no emotion, no personality. Nothing. When Yu'nan touched him, there was nothing. No rush. No fear of accidentally harming the man. At the Time, W'khael was too stunned and confused to say anything, so he let Yu'nan leave for the night. In the morning, he thanked him again, and tried to pay - but Yu'nan assured him that there was no worry there, and that he just wanted W'khael to be safe. Probably said something along the lines of 'who knows what's lurking outside, probably serial killers or something'. Anyways, W'khael left, deciding to figure out on his own what was up with the man and not return until he'd thought it through. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, that probably lasted until about that night. After apologising profusely to Aya for being gone so long, W'khael said that was again going to be gone for long, because he had to figure out what was going on. Begrudgingly, Aya agreed, but told him that he absolutely had to check in with her every now and then if he did so. He agreed, and went back to Yu'nan's shop that night under the pretense of forgetting to buy something, not long after closing. Yu'nan probably kicked a limb under the table and then told him that he was welcome whenever. W'khael rented a room from him, and, not long after he checked in with Aya, Yu'nan probably showed up. He, undoubtedly, figured that something was up; W'khael is probably the worst liar in all of Hydaelyn. W'khael explained what was going on, and basically accidentally smacked Yu'nan several Times while trying to explain nigh-incoherently what he was - or, rather, wasn't - feeling. However, Yu'nan caught his wrist one of these Times, and basically told him to sit down and watch himself. Probably said something like 'if you're going to touch me, you'd better try something better' or something like that. Who knows? Not me, because we didn't RP this part, and have only kinda talked about the generals a bit. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, they proceeded to... For lack of an RPC-appropriate term, let's say that they proceeded to have approximately 327 amorous encounters over the next four-ish months of the arc. We don't know what the count references. We don't know what counts as '1', we just know that there was a count of 327. We don't ask questions, especially since one of them was an... NPC? A playable-NPC? Regardless, to be serious for once: W'khael and Yu'nan struck up something that was somewhere between an affair and a not-quite-relationship. Though Yu'nan didn't seem to have much emotion in the affair - or, at least, appeared not to - W'khael had to fight hard to stay the same way, since it was the first Time in his life he'd ever been able to give himself to someone without fear of hurting them or losing himself in the process. <br /> <br />
<br />
Which makes the fact that Yu'nan was a deranged serial killer all the worse, honestly. <br /> <br />
<br />
Yes, after four-ish months of investigation, it turned out that Yu'nan - whose real name was Yu'zars - had actually been killing mages the realm over and stealing some of their body parts to rebuild the body of his near-dead sister, who was being held in a lab in the basement under the shop. Which is probably the exact opposite of what W'khael had been expecting from the affair. Regardless, W'khael was thrown for an emotional loop, and shut down from the realisation that he'd been being used this whole Time. He turned to sarcasm and joking to hide the pain, playing it off to anyone who'd suspected the affair like it had been basically just an emotionless fling. Though he tried to work through the emotions on his own, constant embattlement from Yu'zars against the coven and uprootments from all ends - including the coven's house burning to the ground - led to him having no real Time for it, so he ended up surrounding himself with other people so that he didn't have to worry about his own emotions. He helped the Paladin James to help heal their friend, Lucky Penny, the night of the house's fire, throwing himself into work. It was the first Time in a long Time that he helped anyone to kill anything, let alone any''one'', and some part of him became terrified of how easy it all returned to him. In this case, he explained it away, arguing with himself that it was to help someone - but, he was sorely reminded that that was always what he thought. It was that night of drinking and half-merriment between the three friends that W'khael realised with horror that, maybe, the reason he'd fallen so quickly for Yu'nan may have been the very fact that the two were more similar than he wanted to ever admit - this, he didn't admit to them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Fighting Yu'zars was easy enough - W'khael latched onto the emotions and the anger of everyone around him, and threw himself into the battle. Luckily, nobody had to kill the man, as his very abomination of a 'sister' did it for them - though, this was the first Time in a long Time that W'khael wasn't actually able to ''feel'' the death, so he still isn't sure about if he's come to terms with it. The same went for the coven's leader, Clover; she had been taken by Yu'zars, but was left unfound and likely dead. Luckily, there was some form of merriment after all; the group managed to recover a woman named Aera, and released all of the spirits and souls that Yu'zars had captured over the years, finally allowing them - and the coven - some rest. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
<br />
Currently, W'khael is still with The Silver Spire, who is currently enjoying the dark cloud being lifted from over their heads. He still doesn't know how to come to terms with his feelings; he hangs out around people far more often than he used to, latching on to the merriment and whirlwinds of emotions that he feels from others to keep him afloat. When alone, he finds himself almost apathetic about the betrayal - not callous, but still numb. Still, he tries to be the same as always - more than anything, and more than ever before, he just wants people to be happy. He enjoys it when he gets to partake in that happiness; the smile of a friend is the greatest gift to him. <br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
When first meeting W'khael, you'll very quickly find him to be a kind, nerdy, friendly, and sorta clumsy individual. Parts of his personality still aren't filled in from his Time in the forest - and might never be - so he can space on things, and, whenever he lapses on a sort of judgement in his own head, he grasps onto complimenting someone or finding some sort of kind remark to add to the conversation. He's often regarded as spacey and naïve at Times, but he's upbeat and energetic, loves his friends, and always wants people to be able to smile. If he detects that someone's emotionally hiding something, he'll press a bit - until he realises that, no, bad W'khael, some people have secrets, and he'll pull back. However, if you have a character who you want to spill something but wouldn't do it without some prodding, he's your guy. As long as one of his friends is trying, at literally anything, he's always going to be proud of them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Though it may not be obvious when first meeting him, W'khael's personality will change depending on his location, his surroundings, and who else is in the room, as threads of all personalities and histories will begin unintentionally bleeding into his own. <br /><br />
<br />
If you get to know W'khael, and he is more comfortable around you, or you catch him unaware of your presence somehow, you'll find that he's actually a very calm, kind, and introverted individual. He adores the night, and will just lay on The Silver Spire's house's roof looking at the stars, or closing his eyes and letting the breeze ruffle his hair. <br /><br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
Need a therapist who will push you if you really want your character to spill the beans about something but know that they probably wouldn't? W'khael's your guy! He's also always just there to be a pal. If you also really want someone to pester your character about them and their past, he's there for that, too; he's not a big fan of talking about his own, for obvious reasons, so tends to ask a lot of questions about whoever he's with (unless they're clearly uncomfortable, of course). <br />
<br />
I don't ERP on him, despite his story; Fade to Black is totally fine, but only with someone who he A: has a strong emotional connection with, and B: for some reason doesn't have an aura. <br />

W'Khael sports somewhat-tanned skin, bright silver eyes, and fiery hair that's been streaked with a burnt orange. He's medium height for a Miqo'te, and tends to wear any clothing that's non-restrictive. He rarely carries any visible weapons, but always seems to be able to pull a knife from sheer air. Probably has pockets. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
W'Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious, introverted, and callous nature from early on. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, and took in aether at a far higher rate than normal mages - however, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this. It got stronger as the years went on, but really wasn't much of a problem besides the occasional unexplainable flip-flops of emotion. He and his sister were raised by their parents and their separate tribes, and he made trips between the Silver Spire Coven house and the Wolf Tribe's lands monthly. Though unbeknownst to his family, he would also sneak away from the W Tribe at night, finding his way to local towns and cities and learning tricks from the magicians and dancers of the streets. For a while, he was happy. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaand then, the murders began. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami had already returned to the S Tribe for the season when it happened, but Khael made the unfortunate choice of staying behind a bit longer at the Silver Spire's house. Unfortunately, due to this, Khael woke up one night in some sort of unexplainable panic, and wandered in on a horror that he'll never be able to unsee or unfeel. The 12-year-old slipped out of the house in the middle of the night, and accidentally found his parents, having just been fatally struck by some sort of shadowy figure. He tried desperately to revive his parents, but was unlucky, and the Coven was unable to help. Terrified and devastated, he and the Coven called S'ami back for the burials, but didn't apprise her of the details - those, he kept to himself. Then, when all was done, despite their refusal, he and S'ami were split up to their parents' separate tribes. He was then raised by his tribe for the next year, his power steadily developing - or, rather, becoming more understandable. He discovered that his 'power' was simply the uncontrollable ability of taking in aether from all sources around him; it allowed him to read peoples' emotions, and, more extremely, to take on parts of their aether and personality and feelings of it was in very near proximity to them. It was the worst when he touched someone. When comforting a friend, once, he also discovered that 'taking in' aether meant from ''all'' sources; when he wanted so desperately to heal her emotional pain, he accidentally started pulling the aether from her, leading to him doing his best to avoid touching anyone without some form of barrier so that he didn't hurt them. Not long after displaying these tendencies, a small group of well-trusted members of the Wolf Tribe began enlisting the 13-year-old's aid in small tasks, and he felt like he had some stability. This continued until Dalamud reddened the sky. <br /><br />
<br />
The night of Dalamud's fall, W'khael was almost instantly beset by an overwhelming flux of aether. It was so painful and all-encompassing that he was unable to sense the danger that befell him, and he was knocked out and kidnapped by a small group of members of the W and S tribes who he had long considered his and S'ami's friends. He woke up to find himself and S'ami captive, and everything just ''hurt''. As it turned out, the group believed S'ami and W'khael's existences to be unnatural, and blamed them for Dalamud's fall - which was honesty probably just an excuse, because they already didn't like the two for being the result of members of different tribes leaving and starting their own family. Still, something was wrong with the group - they were far stronger and more callous than W'khael had ever seen them, and he didn't recognise all of them. Terrified of what could happen, S'ami unleashed an explosion of aether above their heads - a bright one, that permanently damaged their eyesight but blinded the cultists enough for the two to escape and run. <br /> <br />
<br />
But it wasn't so easy. Because of course it wasn't. Because I'm writing this part. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami made it outside of the cavern, but a conflux of aether from her spell collapsed a large part of it, trapping W'khael inside with several injured cultists. The snap of aether was too much for him; unable to control his intake of it, W'khael was overwhelmed, and just about lost everything in his mind that made him himself besides one thing: he never wanted anyone to be in pain. Overtaken by the highly neutral nature of Hydaelyn's aether, W'khael became a vessel of neutral will, and crawled to where the nearest cultist was dying. Consumed by the desire to stop the pain, he pulled the very aether from the dying man, taking the pain into himself and drawing everything until every essence of life was gone. Believing that he'd done something right - hey, the guy wasn't in pain anymore - W'khael did the same thing to the other injured cultists, until he was trapped alone with nothing but seven shrivelled corpses. <br /> <br />
<br />
W'khael, unforunately, was left in his neutral daze, Hydaelyn's overflow of aether having broken away any sense of real personality. The only thing that almost spoke to him was S'ami's voice as she tried to break back through the barrier, but by then, he was too far gone. He found another exit, and watched on as Dalamud fell and Answers played. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
When the Calamity actually ''hit'', W'Khael was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, everything was calm and still, and any last vestiges of personality he'd been clinging to were gone. For the next few weeks, he spent his days like a literal ghost, wandering until he found himself in the Black Shroud and barely even being conscious enough to pick a berry every now and then. The aether of the Calamity flooded his system with constant pain and voices, only finally starting to dull after maybe a few months of him walking around the forest in a near-catatonic (CAT-atonic) fugue state. <br /> <br />
<br />
That being said, even when the pain started to fade, W'khael was still little more than a ghost. He became a part of the forest for the next three years, basically a forest spirit of the Shroud who was rarely seen by anything besides the Shroud's animals. With the way that his aether became intertwined into Hydaelyn's, he became near-invisible to anything or anyone besides those looking directly at him - an ability that he can still call on to this day, albeit consciously. He had a few encounters over the years, but rarely spoke or interacted with anything besides critters. If he ever 'helped'/killed anyone else during his years in the Shroud, he doesn't remember. He hopes not, but it's very likely. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily for W'Khael, his sister never gave up hope that he was still alive somewhere - she felt it in her twin bones. At the age of 16, she convinced her new master, Aya Numi, to try tracking him down. A wild chase of very little information led the two to The Black Shroud, and, after maybe a month of careful and precise searching, they ended up running into him. It took another month to gain his trust - Aya's aether was chaotic and unsafe to him, but S'ami's was calm and familiar, and he eventually began interacting with them. When he got close enough, one day, Aya grabbed him, like the feral cat he was. He fought her, but her aetherial protections were stronger than he anticipated. At first, Aya assumed that there was nothing left of him to save, but the thought of telling S'ami that was too devastating a thought. So, she fought him, and spoke to him, and, after a mental battle between the two, he broke down in her arms. He was still far from ''back'', but the moment of humanity and vulnerability was all that Aya needed to be convinced that there was something in him that could be saved. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aya and S'ami brought W'khael back to one of Aya's hotels, closing off an entire wing and securing it so that he was basically a very lavish prisoner for a few weeks. All the while, Aya and S'ami gained more of his trust, and he began having more and more moments of very-near-clarity. With perseverance and care, S'ami and Aya eventually broke through to him. They still didn't allow him near other people quiiiite yet, but he really did become a person again. Over the next few months, they worked with him to form some semblance of his personality again - especially Aya, who understood more than S'ami that that he wasn't quite the same boy he'd been, and that he'd probably never be fully, 100% himself again. But he did his best, and came close to something like his old self eventually - a happy-go-lucky boy who just wanted to make people smile. That being said, when his memories came back and he had a presence of self again, he became somewhat terrified of how unwittingly strong his abilities had become. Aya calmed him down, and promised that she would teach him to control these abilities, just as she'd taught S'ami to control her own. He agreed, and so, after giving him a crystal-lined choker to help him control his aetherial intake, she tentatively started letting him be around other people again. <br /> <br />
<br />
Not long after W'khael became a literal person again, he and S'ami brought Aya to the old Silver Spire house to see if it was still working - and it very much was, albeit barely. Under the direction of a dejected Clover Daley, it seemed that much of the old coven had fled after Dalamud's wake, trying to put the murders behind them. Soon, the three began working with Clover to get the coven up-and-running again. It worked, and it was fantastic! <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaaaaaaand then the murders started again. <br /> <br />
<br />
It was slow, really, but it was obvious that the murders of the coven members had never really stopped. The group became scared, and W'khael was terrified of losing all of the people that he'd only just come back to. So, they started working together to solve these murders once and for all. <br /> <br />
<br />
Enter Yu'nan. <br /> <br />
<br />
Clover took the group to Gridania one night, hoping to introduce them to Yu'nan, the owner of a reagents shop that she had been going to since before the first bout of murders. However, before they could get there, a woman - who is, evidently, still at large - burst into the middle of the group, illusioning herself to look like Clover and running off to confuse the guards that were after her. After a permissive nod from Aya, W'khael hippity-hopped into the shadows of Gridania, chasing the woman down. Unfortunately, one of the largest side-effects of W'khael's properties of aetherial intake include a massive susceptibility to spells and curses - something that the woman accidentally took advantage of, in ensorcelling him {Nat 1 + -5 ayyye} and leaving him basically half-drunk on romantic aether in a back-alley of Gridania where he basically drawled on about his whole story to a moogle for hours. When he finally had the ability to stand back, he wandered to where he remembered the group having gone - Clover had given them all the address, just in case something catastrophic happened. Unfortunately, he got there just after everyone had gone for the night - evidently, he heard some rumours on the way there about some run-in they'd had with an immortal squirrel in the mud just barely outside of Gridania's gates, or some such. Luckily, Yu'nan, despite having closed his shop for the night, opened it at W'khael's knocking. The miqo'te shopkeep clearly understood that W'khael had been magically drugged, because he took the boy in, shutting the door and giving him a drought to help with the aether sickness that had come with the spell. Yu'nan Linkshelled Aya to tell her not to worry anymore, that he would keep W'khael there for the night to watch over him and make sure that the aether faded without any negative side-effects. This, of course, was news to W'khael, but he was in too much of a state to properly argue. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily, Yu'nan was clearly the kindest and most innocent person on Hydaelyn, because he did exactly what he said he would - woop. Despite mentioning that he'd been about to leave for the night, he instead opted to stay with W'khael, giving the (18-year-old; that's important) boy a spare bedroom and plenty of water. W'khael fell in and out of a fitful sleep, and Yu'nan was always in the room with him, watching cautiously. Maybe a lil bit creepily, but there's nothing creepy about that guy whatsoever. Anyways, W'khael finally seemed to duck the spell way too late in the evening, maybe 3 am-ish - and Yu'nan was still with him, albeit probably half-asleep. W'khael finally had a clear head, and thanked Yu'nan for everything, saying that he felt well enough to leave if he was taking up too much space; Yu'nan probably laughed about it, and said that it was really no bother, and that W'khael was far safer with him than trying to get home alone ((Insert 'So anyways, that was a lie' meme here)). Yu'nan probably murmured something like 'rest well' and rubbed W'khael behind the ears before starting to head off for the night, and it was at that moment that W'khael realised two things for the first Time: A, that he probably wasn't exactly straight, but ''B'', that he didn't feel anything from Yu'nan. No aether, no emotion, no personality. Nothing. When Yu'nan touched him, there was nothing. No rush. No fear of accidentally harming the man. At the Time, W'khael was too stunned and confused to say anything, so he let Yu'nan leave for the night. In the morning, he thanked him again, and tried to pay - but Yu'nan assured him that there was no worry there, and that he just wanted W'khael to be safe. Probably said something along the lines of 'who knows what's lurking outside, probably serial killers or something'. Anyways, W'khael left, deciding to figure out on his own what was up with the man and not return until he'd thought it through. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, that probably lasted until about that night. After apologising profusely to Aya for being gone so long, W'khael said that was again going to be gone for long, because he had to figure out what was going on. Begrudgingly, Aya agreed, but told him that he absolutely had to check in with her every now and then if he did so. He agreed, and went back to Yu'nan's shop that night under the pretense of forgetting to buy something, not long after closing. Yu'nan probably kicked a limb under the table and then told him that he was welcome whenever. W'khael rented a room from him, and, not long after he checked in with Aya, Yu'nan probably showed up. He, undoubtedly, figured that something was up; W'khael is probably the worst liar in all of Hydaelyn. W'khael explained what was going on, and basically accidentally smacked Yu'nan several Times while trying to explain nigh-incoherently what he was - or, rather, wasn't - feeling. However, Yu'nan caught his wrist one of these Times, and basically told him to sit down and watch himself. Probably said something like 'if you're going to touch me, you'd better try something better' or something like that. Who knows? Not me, because we didn't RP this part, and have only kinda talked about the generals a bit. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, they proceeded to... For lack of an RPC-appropriate term, let's say that they proceeded to have approximately 327 amorous encounters over the next four-ish months of the arc. We don't know what the count references. We don't know what counts as '1', we just know that there was a count of 327. We don't ask questions, especially since one of them was an... NPC? A playable-NPC? Regardless, to be serious for once: W'khael and Yu'nan struck up something that was somewhere between an affair and a not-quite-relationship. Though Yu'nan didn't seem to have much emotion in the affair - or, at least, appeared not to - W'khael had to fight hard to stay the same way, since it was the first Time in his life he'd ever been able to give himself to someone without fear of hurting them or losing himself in the process. <br /> <br />
<br />
Which makes the fact that Yu'nan was a deranged serial killer all the worse, honestly. <br /> <br />
<br />
Yes, after four-ish months of investigation, it turned out that Yu'nan - whose real name was Yu'zars - had actually been killing mages the realm over and stealing some of their body parts to rebuild the body of his near-dead sister, who was being held in a lab in the basement under the shop. Which is probably the exact opposite of what W'khael had been expecting from the affair. Regardless, W'khael was thrown for an emotional loop, and shut down from the realisation that he'd been being used this whole Time. He turned to sarcasm and joking to hide the pain, playing it off to anyone who'd suspected the affair like it had been basically just an emotionless fling. Though he tried to work through the emotions on his own, constant embattlement from Yu'zars against the coven and uprootments from all ends - including the coven's house burning to the ground - led to him having no real Time for it, so he ended up surrounding himself with other people so that he didn't have to worry about his own emotions. He helped the Paladin James to help heal their friend, Lucky Penny, the night of the house's fire, throwing himself into work. It was the first Time in a long Time that he helped anyone to kill anything, let alone any''one'', and some part of him became terrified of how easy it all returned to him. In this case, he explained it away, arguing with himself that it was to help someone - but, he was sorely reminded that that was always what he thought. It was that night of drinking and half-merriment between the three friends that W'khael realised with horror that, maybe, the reason he'd fallen so quickly for Yu'nan may have been the very fact that the two were more similar than he wanted to ever admit - this, he didn't admit to them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Fighting Yu'zars was easy enough - W'khael latched onto the emotions and the anger of everyone around him, and threw himself into the battle. Luckily, nobody had to kill the man, as his very abomination of a 'sister' did it for them - though, this was the first Time in a long Time that W'khael wasn't actually able to ''feel'' the death, so he still isn't sure about if he's come to terms with it. The same went for the coven's leader, Clover; she had been taken by Yu'zars, but was left unfound and likely dead. Luckily, there was some form of merriment after all; the group managed to recover a woman named Aera, and released all of the spirits and souls that Yu'zars had captured over the years, finally allowing them - and the coven - some rest. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
<br />
Currently, W'khael is still with The Silver Spire, who is currently enjoying the dark cloud being lifted from over their heads. He still doesn't know how to come to terms with his feelings; he hangs out around people far more often than he used to, latching on to the merriment and whirlwinds of emotions that he feels from others to keep him afloat. When alone, he finds himself almost apathetic about the betrayal - not callous, but still numb. Still, he tries to be the same as always - more than anything, and more than ever before, he just wants people to be happy. He enjoys it when he gets to partake in that happiness; the smile of a friend is the greatest gift to him. <br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
When first meeting W'khael, you'll very quickly find him to be a kind, nerdy, friendly, and sorta clumsy individual. Parts of his personality still aren't filled in from his Time in the forest - and might never be - so he can space on things, and, whenever he lapses on a sort of judgement in his own head, he grasps onto complimenting someone or finding some sort of kind remark to add to the conversation. He's often regarded as spacey and naïve at Times, but he's upbeat and energetic, loves his friends, and always wants people to be able to smile. If he detects that someone's emotionally hiding something, he'll press a bit - until he realises that, no, bad W'khael, some people have secrets, and he'll pull back. However, if you have a character who you want to spill something but wouldn't do it without some prodding, he's your guy. As long as one of his friends is trying, at literally anything, he's always going to be proud of them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Though it may not be obvious when first meeting him, W'khael's personality will change depending on his location, his surroundings, and who else is in the room, as threads of all personalities and histories will begin unintentionally bleeding into his own. <br /><br />
<br />
If you get to know W'khael, and he is more comfortable around you, or you catch him unaware of your presence somehow, you'll find that he's actually a very calm, kind, and introverted individual. He adores the night, and will just lay on The Silver Spire's house's roof looking at the stars, or closing his eyes and letting the breeze ruffle his hair. <br /><br />

Unfortunately, Yu'nan turned out to be a serial killer who was responsible for the deaths of several of W'khael's friends (including his parents), so... that sucks. <br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
Need a therapist who will push you if you really want your character to spill the beans about something but know that they probably wouldn't? W'khael's your guy! He's also always just there to be a pal. If you also really want someone to pester your character about them and their past, he's there for that, too; he's not a big fan of talking about his own, for obvious reasons, so tends to ask a lot of questions about whoever he's with (unless they're clearly uncomfortable, of course). <br />
<br />
I don't ERP on him, despite his story; Fade to Black is totally fine, but only with someone who he A: has a strong emotional connection with, and B: for some reason doesn't have an aura. <br />

W'Khael sports somewhat-tanned skin, bright silver eyes, and fiery hair that's been streaked with a burnt orange. He's medium height for a Miqo'te, and tends to wear any clothing that's non-restrictive. He rarely carries any visible weapons, but always seems to be able to pull a knife from sheer air. Probably has pockets. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
W'Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious, introverted, and callous nature from early on. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, and took in aether at a far higher rate than normal mages - however, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this. It got stronger as the years went on, but really wasn't much of a problem besides the occasional unexplainable flip-flops of emotion. He and his sister were raised by their parents and their separate tribes, and he made trips between the Silver Spire Coven house and the Wolf Tribe's lands monthly. Though unbeknownst to his family, he would also sneak away from the W Tribe at night, finding his way to local towns and cities and learning tricks from the magicians and dancers of the streets. For a while, he was happy. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaand then, the murders began. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami had already returned to the S Tribe for the season when it happened, but Khael made the unfortunate choice of staying behind a bit longer at the Silver Spire's house. Unfortunately, due to this, Khael woke up one night in some sort of unexplainable panic, and wandered in on a horror that he'll never be able to unsee or unfeel. The 12-year-old slipped out of the house in the middle of the night, and accidentally found his parents, having just been fatally struck by some sort of shadowy figure. He tried desperately to revive his parents, but was unlucky, and the Coven was unable to help. Terrified and devastated, he and the Coven called S'ami back for the burials, but didn't apprise her of the details - those, he kept to himself. Then, when all was done, despite their refusal, he and S'ami were split up to their parents' separate tribes. He was then raised by his tribe for the next year, his power steadily developing - or, rather, becoming more understandable. He discovered that his 'power' was simply the uncontrollable ability of taking in aether from all sources around him; it allowed him to read peoples' emotions, and, more extremely, to take on parts of their aether and personality and feelings of it was in very near proximity to them. It was the worst when he touched someone. When comforting a friend, once, he also discovered that 'taking in' aether meant from ''all'' sources; when he wanted so desperately to heal her emotional pain, he accidentally started pulling the aether from her, leading to him doing his best to avoid touching anyone without some form of barrier so that he didn't hurt them. Not long after displaying these tendencies, a small group of well-trusted members of the Wolf Tribe began enlisting the 13-year-old's aid in small tasks, and he felt like he had some stability. This continued until Dalamud reddened the sky. <br /><br />
<br />
The night of Dalamud's fall, W'khael was almost instantly beset by an overwhelming flux of aether. It was so painful and all-encompassing that he was unable to sense the danger that befell him, and he was knocked out and kidnapped by a small group of members of the W and S tribes who he had long considered his and S'ami's friends. He woke up to find himself and S'ami captive, and everything just ''hurt''. As it turned out, the group believed S'ami and W'khael's existences to be unnatural, and blamed them for Dalamud's fall - which was honesty probably just an excuse, because they already didn't like the two for being the result of members of different tribes leaving and starting their own family. Still, something was wrong with the group - they were far stronger and more callous than W'khael had ever seen them, and he didn't recognise all of them. Terrified of what could happen, S'ami unleashed an explosion of aether above their heads - a bright one, that permanently damaged their eyesight but blinded the cultists enough for the two to escape and run. <br /> <br />
<br />
But it wasn't so easy. Because of course it wasn't. Because I'm writing this part. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami made it outside of the cavern, but a conflux of aether from her spell collapsed a large part of it, trapping W'khael inside with several injured cultists. The snap of aether was too much for him; unable to control his intake of it, W'khael was overwhelmed, and just about lost everything in his mind that made him himself besides one thing: he never wanted anyone to be in pain. Overtaken by the highly neutral nature of Hydaelyn's aether, W'khael became a vessel of neutral will, and crawled to where the nearest cultist was dying. Consumed by the desire to stop the pain, he pulled the very aether from the dying man, taking the pain into himself and drawing everything until every essence of life was gone. Believing that he'd done something right - hey, the guy wasn't in pain anymore - W'khael did the same thing to the other injured cultists, until he was trapped alone with nothing but seven shrivelled corpses. <br /> <br />
<br />
W'khael, unforunately, was left in his neutral daze, Hydaelyn's overflow of aether having broken away any sense of real personality. The only thing that almost spoke to him was S'ami's voice as she tried to break back through the barrier, but by then, he was too far gone. He found another exit, and watched on as Dalamud fell and Answers played. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
When the Calamity actually ''hit'', W'Khael was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, everything was calm and still, and any last vestiges of personality he'd been clinging to were gone. For the next few weeks, he spent his days like a literal ghost, wandering until he found himself in the Black Shroud and barely even being conscious enough to pick a berry every now and then. The aether of the Calamity flooded his system with constant pain and voices, only finally starting to dull after maybe a few months of him walking around the forest in a near-catatonic (CAT-atonic) fugue state. <br /> <br />
<br />
That being said, even when the pain started to fade, W'khael was still little more than a ghost. He became a part of the forest for the next three years, basically a forest spirit of the Shroud who was rarely seen by anything besides the Shroud's animals. With the way that his aether became intertwined into Hydaelyn's, he became near-invisible to anything or anyone besides those looking directly at him - an ability that he can still call on to this day, albeit consciously. He had a few encounters over the years, but rarely spoke or interacted with anything besides critters. If he ever 'helped'/killed anyone else during his years in the Shroud, he doesn't remember. He hopes not, but it's very likely. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily for W'Khael, his sister never gave up hope that he was still alive somewhere - she felt it in her twin bones. At the age of 16, she convinced her new master, Aya Numi, to try tracking him down. A wild chase of very little information led the two to The Black Shroud, and, after maybe a month of careful and precise searching, they ended up running into him. It took another month to gain his trust - Aya's aether was chaotic and unsafe to him, but S'ami's was calm and familiar, and he eventually began interacting with them. When he got close enough, one day, Aya grabbed him, like the feral cat he was. He fought her, but her aetherial protections were stronger than he anticipated. At first, Aya assumed that there was nothing left of him to save, but the thought of telling S'ami that was too devastating a thought. So, she fought him, and spoke to him, and, after a mental battle between the two, he broke down in her arms. He was still far from ''back'', but the moment of humanity and vulnerability was all that Aya needed to be convinced that there was something in him that could be saved. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aya and S'ami brought W'khael back to one of Aya's hotels, closing off an entire wing and securing it so that he was basically a very lavish prisoner for a few weeks. All the while, Aya and S'ami gained more of his trust, and he began having more and more moments of very-near-clarity. With perseverance and care, S'ami and Aya eventually broke through to him. They still didn't allow him near other people quiiiite yet, but he really did become a person again. Over the next few months, they worked with him to form some semblance of his personality again - especially Aya, who understood more than S'ami that that he wasn't quite the same boy he'd been, and that he'd probably never be fully, 100% himself again. But he did his best, and came close to something like his old self eventually - a happy-go-lucky boy who just wanted to make people smile. That being said, when his memories came back and he had a presence of self again, he became somewhat terrified of how unwittingly strong his abilities had become. Aya calmed him down, and promised that she would teach him to control these abilities, just as she'd taught S'ami to control her own. He agreed, and so, after giving him a crystal-lined choker to help him control his aetherial intake, she tentatively started letting him be around other people again. <br /> <br />
<br />
Not long after W'khael became a literal person again, he and S'ami brought Aya to the old Silver Spire house to see if it was still working - and it very much was, albeit barely. Under the direction of a dejected Clover Daley, it seemed that much of the old coven had fled after Dalamud's wake, trying to put the murders behind them. Soon, the three began working with Clover to get the coven up-and-running again. It worked, and it was fantastic! <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaaaaaaand then the murders started again. <br /> <br />
<br />
It was slow, really, but it was obvious that the murders of the coven members had never really stopped. The group became scared, and W'khael was terrified of losing all of the people that he'd only just come back to. So, they started working together to solve these murders once and for all. <br /> <br />
<br />
Enter Yu'nan. <br /> <br />
<br />
Clover took the group to Gridania one night, hoping to introduce them to Yu'nan, the owner of a reagents shop that she had been going to since before the first bout of murders. However, before they could get there, a woman - who is, evidently, still at large - burst into the middle of the group, illusioning herself to look like Clover and running off to confuse the guards that were after her. After a permissive nod from Aya, W'khael hippity-hopped into the shadows of Gridania, chasing the woman down. Unfortunately, one of the largest side-effects of W'khael's properties of aetherial intake include a massive susceptibility to spells and curses - something that the woman accidentally took advantage of, in ensorcelling him {Nat 1 + -5 ayyye} and leaving him basically half-drunk on romantic aether in a back-alley of Gridania where he basically drawled on about his whole story to a moogle for hours. When he finally had the ability to stand back, he wandered to where he remembered the group having gone - Clover had given them all the address, just in case something catastrophic happened. Unfortunately, he got there just after everyone had gone for the night - evidently, he heard some rumours on the way there about some run-in they'd had with an immortal squirrel in the mud just barely outside of Gridania's gates, or some such. Luckily, Yu'nan, despite having closed his shop for the night, opened it at W'khael's knocking. The miqo'te shopkeep clearly understood that W'khael had been magically drugged, because he took the boy in, shutting the door and giving him a drought to help with the aether sickness that had come with the spell. Yu'nan Linkshelled Aya to tell her not to worry anymore, that he would keep W'khael there for the night to watch over him and make sure that the aether faded without any negative side-effects. This, of course, was news to W'khael, but he was in too much of a state to properly argue. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily, Yu'nan was clearly the kindest and most innocent person on Hydaelyn, because he did exactly what he said he would - woop. Despite mentioning that he'd been about to leave for the night, he instead opted to stay with W'khael, giving the (18-year-old; that's important) boy a spare bedroom and plenty of water. W'khael fell in and out of a fitful sleep, and Yu'nan was always in the room with him, watching cautiously. Maybe a lil bit creepily, but there's nothing creepy about that guy whatsoever. Anyways, W'khael finally seemed to duck the spell way too late in the evening, maybe 3 am-ish - and Yu'nan was still with him, albeit probably half-asleep. W'khael finally had a clear head, and thanked Yu'nan for everything, saying that he felt well enough to leave if he was taking up too much space; Yu'nan probably laughed about it, and said that it was really no bother, and that W'khael was far safer with him than trying to get home alone ((Insert 'So anyways, that was a lie' meme here)). Yu'nan probably murmured something like 'rest well' and rubbed W'khael behind the ears before starting to head off for the night, and it was at that moment that W'khael realised two things for the first Time: A, that he probably wasn't exactly straight, but ''B'', that he didn't feel anything from Yu'nan. No aether, no emotion, no personality. Nothing. When Yu'nan touched him, there was nothing. No rush. No fear of accidentally harming the man. At the Time, W'khael was too stunned and confused to say anything, so he let Yu'nan leave for the night. In the morning, he thanked him again, and tried to pay - but Yu'nan assured him that there was no worry there, and that he just wanted W'khael to be safe. Probably said something along the lines of 'who knows what's lurking outside, probably serial killers or something'. Anyways, W'khael left, deciding to figure out on his own what was up with the man and not return until he'd thought it through. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, that probably lasted until about that night. After apologising profusely to Aya for being gone so long, W'khael said that was again going to be gone for long, because he had to figure out what was going on. Begrudgingly, Aya agreed, but told him that he absolutely had to check in with her every now and then if he did so. He agreed, and went back to Yu'nan's shop that night under the pretense of forgetting to buy something, not long after closing. Yu'nan probably kicked a limb under the table and then told him that he was welcome whenever. W'khael rented a room from him, and, not long after he checked in with Aya, Yu'nan probably showed up. He, undoubtedly, figured that something was up; W'khael is probably the worst liar in all of Hydaelyn. W'khael explained what was going on, and basically accidentally smacked Yu'nan several Times while trying to explain nigh-incoherently what he was - or, rather, wasn't - feeling. However, Yu'nan caught his wrist one of these Times, and basically told him to sit down and watch himself. Probably said something like 'if you're going to touch me, you'd better try something better' or something like that. Who knows? Not me, because we didn't RP this part, and have only kinda talked about the generals a bit. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, they proceeded to... For lack of an RPC-appropriate term, let's say that they proceeded to have approximately 327 amorous encounters over the next four-ish months of the arc. We don't know what the count references. We don't know what counts as '1', we just know that there was a count of 327. We don't ask questions, especially since one of them was an... NPC? A playable-NPC? Regardless, to be serious for once: W'khael and Yu'nan struck up something that was somewhere between an affair and a not-quite-relationship. Though Yu'nan didn't seem to have much emotion in the affair - or, at least, appeared not to - W'khael had to fight hard to stay the same way, since it was the first Time in his life he'd ever been able to give himself to someone without fear of hurting them or losing himself in the process. <br /> <br />
<br />
Which makes the fact that Yu'nan was a deranged serial killer all the worse, honestly. <br /> <br />
<br />
Yes, after four-ish months of investigation, it turned out that Yu'nan - whose real name was Yu'zars - had actually been killing mages the realm over and stealing some of their body parts to rebuild the body of his near-dead sister, who was being held in a lab in the basement under the shop. Which is probably the exact opposite of what W'khael had been expecting from the affair. Regardless, W'khael was thrown for an emotional loop, and shut down from the realisation that he'd been being used this whole Time. He turned to sarcasm and joking to hide the pain, playing it off to anyone who'd suspected the affair like it had been basically just an emotionless fling. Though he tried to work through the emotions on his own, constant embattlement from Yu'zars against the coven and uprootments from all ends - including the coven's house burning to the ground - led to him having no real Time for it, so he ended up surrounding himself with other people so that he didn't have to worry about his own emotions. He helped the Paladin James to help heal their friend, Lucky Penny, the night of the house's fire, throwing himself into work. It was the first Time in a long Time that he helped anyone to kill anything, let alone any''one'', and some part of him became terrified of how easy it all returned to him. In this case, he explained it away, arguing with himself that it was to help someone - but, he was sorely reminded that that was always what he thought. It was that night of drinking and half-merriment between the three friends that W'khael realised with horror that, maybe, the reason he'd fallen so quickly for Yu'nan may have been the very fact that the two were more similar than he wanted to ever admit - this, he didn't admit to them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Fighting Yu'zars was easy enough - W'khael latched onto the emotions and the anger of everyone around him, and threw himself into the battle. Luckily, nobody had to kill the man, as his very abomination of a 'sister' did it for them - though, this was the first Time in a long Time that W'khael wasn't actually able to ''feel'' the death, so he still isn't sure about if he's come to terms with it. The same went for the coven's leader, Clover; she had been taken by Yu'zars, but was left unfound and likely dead. Luckily, there was some form of merriment after all; the group managed to recover a woman named Aera, and released all of the spirits and souls that Yu'zars had captured over the years, finally allowing them - and the coven - some rest. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
<br />
Currently, W'khael is still with The Silver Spire, who is currently enjoying the dark cloud being lifted from over their heads. He still doesn't know how to come to terms with his feelings; he hangs out around people far more often than he used to, latching on to the merriment and whirlwinds of emotions that he feels from others to keep him afloat. When alone, he finds himself almost apathetic about the betrayal - not callous, but still numb. Still, he tries to be the same as always - more than anything, and more than ever before, he just wants people to be happy. He enjoys it when he gets to partake in that happiness; the smile of a friend is the greatest gift to him. <br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
When first meeting W'khael, you'll very quickly find him to be a kind, nerdy, friendly, and sorta clumsy individual. Parts of his personality still aren't filled in from his Time in the forest - and might never be - so he can space on things, and, whenever he lapses on a sort of judgement in his own head, he grasps onto complimenting someone or finding some sort of kind remark to add to the conversation. He's often regarded as spacey and naïve at Times, but he's upbeat and energetic, loves his friends, and always wants people to be able to smile. If he detects that someone's emotionally hiding something, he'll press a bit - until he realises that, no, bad W'khael, some people have secrets, and he'll pull back. However, if you have a character who you want to spill something but wouldn't do it without some prodding, he's your guy. As long as one of his friends is trying, at literally anything, he's always going to be proud of them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Though it may not be obvious when first meeting him, W'khael's personality will change depending on his location, his surroundings, and who else is in the room, as threads of all personalities and histories will begin unintentionally bleeding into his own. <br /><br />
<br />
If you get to know W'khael, and he is more comfortable around you, or you catch him unaware of your presence somehow, you'll find that he's actually a very calm, kind, and introverted individual. He adores the night, and will just lay on The Silver Spire's house's roof looking at the stars, or closing his eyes and letting the breeze ruffle his hair. <br /><br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
Need a therapist who will push you if you really want your character to spill the beans about something but know that they probably wouldn't? W'khael's your guy! He's also always just there to be a pal. If you also really want someone to pester your character about them and their past, he's there for that, too; he's not a big fan of talking about his own, for obvious reasons, so tends to ask a lot of questions about whoever he's with (unless they're clearly uncomfortable, of course). <br />
<br />
I don't ERP on him, despite his story; Fade to Black is totally fine, but only with someone who he A: has a strong emotional connection with, and B: for some reason doesn't have an aura. <br />

W'Khael sports somewhat-tanned skin, bright silver eyes, and fiery hair that's been streaked with a burnt orange. He's medium height for a Miqo'te, and tends to wear any clothing that's non-restrictive. He rarely carries any visible weapons, but always seems to be able to pull a knife from sheer air. Probably has pockets. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
W'Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious, introverted, and callous nature from early on. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, and took in aether at a far higher rate than normal mages - however, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this. It got stronger as the years went on, but really wasn't much of a problem besides the occasional unexplainable flip-flops of emotion. He and his sister were raised by their parents and their separate tribes, and he made trips between the Silver Spire Coven house and the Wolf Tribe's lands monthly. Though unbeknownst to his family, he would also sneak away from the W Tribe at night, finding his way to local towns and cities and learning tricks from the magicians and dancers of the streets. For a while, he was happy. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaand then, the murders began. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami had already returned to the S Tribe for the season when it happened, but Khael made the unfortunate choice of staying behind a bit longer at the Silver Spire's house. Unfortunately, due to this, Khael woke up one night in some sort of unexplainable panic, and wandered in on a horror that he'll never be able to unsee or unfeel. The 12-year-old slipped out of the house in the middle of the night, and accidentally found his parents, having just been fatally struck by some sort of shadowy figure. He tried desperately to revive his parents, but was unlucky, and the Coven was unable to help. Terrified and devastated, he and the Coven called S'ami back for the burials, but didn't apprise her of the details - those, he kept to himself. Then, when all was done, despite their refusal, he and S'ami were split up to their parents' separate tribes. He was then raised by his tribe for the next year, his power steadily developing - or, rather, becoming more understandable. He discovered that his 'power' was simply the uncontrollable ability of taking in aether from all sources around him; it allowed him to read peoples' emotions, and, more extremely, to take on parts of their aether and personality and feelings of it was in very near proximity to them. It was the worst when he touched someone. When comforting a friend, once, he also discovered that 'taking in' aether meant from ''all'' sources; when he wanted so desperately to heal her emotional pain, he accidentally started pulling the aether from her, leading to him doing his best to avoid touching anyone without some form of barrier so that he didn't hurt them. Not long after displaying these tendencies, a small group of well-trusted members of the Wolf Tribe began enlisting the 13-year-old's aid in small tasks, and he felt like he had some stability. This continued until Dalamud reddened the sky. <br /><br />
<br />
The night of Dalamud's fall, W'khael was almost instantly beset by an overwhelming flux of aether. It was so painful and all-encompassing that he was unable to sense the danger that befell him, and he was knocked out and kidnapped by a small group of members of the W and S tribes who he had long considered his and S'ami's friends. He woke up to find himself and S'ami captive, and everything just ''hurt''. As it turned out, the group believed S'ami and W'khael's existences to be unnatural, and blamed them for Dalamud's fall - which was honesty probably just an excuse, because they already didn't like the two for being the result of members of different tribes leaving and starting their own family. Still, something was wrong with the group - they were far stronger and more callous than W'khael had ever seen them, and he didn't recognise all of them. Terrified of what could happen, S'ami unleashed an explosion of aether above their heads - a bright one, that permanently damaged their eyesight but blinded the cultists enough for the two to escape and run. <br /> <br />
<br />
But it wasn't so easy. Because of course it wasn't. Because I'm writing this part. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami made it outside of the cavern, but a conflux of aether from her spell collapsed a large part of it, trapping W'khael inside with several injured cultists. The snap of aether was too much for him; unable to control his intake of it, W'khael was overwhelmed, and just about lost everything in his mind that made him himself besides one thing: he never wanted anyone to be in pain. Overtaken by the highly neutral nature of Hydaelyn's aether, W'khael became a vessel of neutral will, and crawled to where the nearest cultist was dying. Consumed by the desire to stop the pain, he pulled the very aether from the dying man, taking the pain into himself and drawing everything until every essence of life was gone. Believing that he'd done something right - hey, the guy wasn't in pain anymore - W'khael did the same thing to the other injured cultists, until he was trapped alone with nothing but seven shrivelled corpses. <br /> <br />
<br />
W'khael, unforunately, was left in his neutral daze, Hydaelyn's overflow of aether having broken away any sense of real personality. The only thing that almost spoke to him was S'ami's voice as she tried to break back through the barrier, but by then, he was too far gone. He found another exit, and watched on as Dalamud fell and Answers played. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
When the Calamity actually ''hit'', W'Khael was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, everything was calm and still, and any last vestiges of personality he'd been clinging to were gone. For the next few weeks, he spent his days like a literal ghost, wandering until he found himself in the Black Shroud and barely even being conscious enough to pick a berry every now and then. The aether of the Calamity flooded his system with constant pain and voices, only finally starting to dull after maybe a few months of him walking around the forest in a near-catatonic (CAT-atonic) fugue state. <br /> <br />
<br />
That being said, even when the pain started to fade, W'khael was still little more than a ghost. He became a part of the forest for the next three years, basically a forest spirit of the Shroud who was rarely seen by anything besides the Shroud's animals. With the way that his aether became intertwined into Hydaelyn's, he became near-invisible to anything or anyone besides those looking directly at him - an ability that he can still call on to this day, albeit consciously. He had a few encounters over the years, but rarely spoke or interacted with anything besides critters. If he ever 'helped'/killed anyone else during his years in the Shroud, he doesn't remember. He hopes not, but it's very likely. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily for W'Khael, his sister never gave up hope that he was still alive somewhere - she felt it in her twin bones. At the age of 16, she convinced her new master, Aya Numi, to try tracking him down. A wild chase of very little information led the two to The Black Shroud, and, after maybe a month of careful and precise searching, they ended up running into him. It took another month to gain his trust - Aya's aether was chaotic and unsafe to him, but S'ami's was calm and familiar, and he eventually began interacting with them. When he got close enough, one day, Aya grabbed him, like the feral cat he was. He fought her, but her aetherial protections were stronger than he anticipated. At first, Aya assumed that there was nothing left of him to save, but the thought of telling S'ami that was too devastating a thought. So, she fought him, and spoke to him, and, after a mental battle between the two, he broke down in her arms. He was still far from ''back'', but the moment of humanity and vulnerability was all that Aya needed to be convinced that there was something in him that could be saved. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aya and S'ami brought W'khael back to one of Aya's hotels, closing off an entire wing and securing it so that he was basically a very lavish prisoner for a few weeks. All the while, Aya and S'ami gained more of his trust, and he began having more and more moments of very-near-clarity. With perseverance and care, S'ami and Aya eventually broke through to him. They still didn't allow him near other people quiiiite yet, but he really did become a person again. Over the next few months, they worked with him to form some semblance of his personality again - especially Aya, who understood more than S'ami that that he wasn't quite the same boy he'd been, and that he'd probably never be fully, 100% himself again. But he did his best, and came close to something like his old self eventually - a happy-go-lucky boy who just wanted to make people smile. That being said, when his memories came back and he had a presence of self again, he became somewhat terrified of how unwittingly strong his abilities had become. Aya calmed him down, and promised that she would teach him to control these abilities, just as she'd taught S'ami to control her own. He agreed, and so, after giving him a crystal-lined choker to help him control his aetherial intake, she tentatively started letting him be around other people again. <br /> <br />
<br />
Not long after W'khael became a literal person again, he and S'ami brought Aya to the old Silver Spire house to see if it was still working - and it very much was, albeit barely. Under the direction of a dejected Clover Daley, it seemed that much of the old coven had fled after Dalamud's wake, trying to put the murders behind them. Soon, the three began working with Clover to get the coven up-and-running again. It worked, and it was fantastic! <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaaaaaaand then the murders started again. <br /> <br />
<br />
It was slow, really, but it was obvious that the murders of the coven members had never really stopped. The group became scared, and W'khael was terrified of losing all of the people that he'd only just come back to. So, they started working together to solve these murders once and for all. <br /> <br />
<br />
Enter Yu'nan. <br /> <br />
<br />
Clover took the group to Gridania one night, hoping to introduce them to Yu'nan, the owner of a reagents shop that she had been going to since before the first bout of murders. However, before they could get there, a woman - who is, evidently, still at large - burst into the middle of the group, illusioning herself to look like Clover and running off to confuse the guards that were after her. After a permissive nod from Aya, W'khael hippity-hopped into the shadows of Gridania, chasing the woman down. Unfortunately, one of the largest side-effects of W'khael's properties of aetherial intake include a massive susceptibility to spells and curses - something that the woman accidentally took advantage of, in ensorcelling him {Nat 1 + -5 ayyye} and leaving him basically half-drunk on romantic aether in a back-alley of Gridania where he basically drawled on about his whole story to a moogle for hours. When he finally had the ability to stand back, he wandered to where he remembered the group having gone - Clover had given them all the address, just in case something catastrophic happened. Unfortunately, he got there just after everyone had gone for the night - evidently, he heard some rumours on the way there about some run-in they'd had with an immortal squirrel in the mud just barely outside of Gridania's gates, or some such. Luckily, Yu'nan, despite having closed his shop for the night, opened it at W'khael's knocking. The miqo'te shopkeep clearly understood that W'khael had been magically drugged, because he took the boy in, shutting the door and giving him a drought to help with the aether sickness that had come with the spell. Yu'nan Linkshelled Aya to tell her not to worry anymore, that he would keep W'khael there for the night to watch over him and make sure that the aether faded without any negative side-effects. This, of course, was news to W'khael, but he was in too much of a state to properly argue. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily, Yu'nan was clearly the kindest and most innocent person on Hydaelyn, because he did exactly what he said he would - woop. Despite mentioning that he'd been about to leave for the night, he instead opted to stay with W'khael, giving the (18-year-old; that's important) boy a spare bedroom and plenty of water. W'khael fell in and out of a fitful sleep, and Yu'nan was always in the room with him, watching cautiously. Maybe a lil bit creepily, but there's nothing creepy about that guy whatsoever. Anyways, W'khael finally seemed to duck the spell way too late in the evening, maybe 3 am-ish - and Yu'nan was still with him, albeit probably half-asleep. W'khael finally had a clear head, and thanked Yu'nan for everything, saying that he felt well enough to leave if he was taking up too much space; Yu'nan probably laughed about it, and said that it was really no bother, and that W'khael was far safer with him than trying to get home alone ((Insert 'So anyways, that was a lie' meme here)). Yu'nan probably murmured something like 'rest well' and rubbed W'khael behind the ears before starting to head off for the night, and it was at that moment that W'khael realised two things for the first Time: A, that he probably wasn't exactly straight, but ''B'', that he didn't feel anything from Yu'nan. No aether, no emotion, no personality. Nothing. When Yu'nan touched him, there was nothing. No rush. No fear of accidentally harming the man. At the Time, W'khael was too stunned and confused to say anything, so he let Yu'nan leave for the night. In the morning, he thanked him again, and tried to pay - but Yu'nan assured him that there was no worry there, and that he just wanted W'khael to be safe. Probably said something along the lines of 'who knows what's lurking outside, probably serial killers or something'. Anyways, W'khael left, deciding to figure out on his own what was up with the man and not return until he'd thought it through. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, that probably lasted until about that night. After apologising profusely to Aya for being gone so long, W'khael said that was again going to be gone for long, because he had to figure out what was going on. Begrudgingly, Aya agreed, but told him that he absolutely had to check in with her every now and then if he did so. He agreed, and went back to Yu'nan's shop that night under the pretense of forgetting to buy something, not long after closing. Yu'nan probably kicked a limb under the table and then told him that he was welcome whenever. W'khael rented a room from him, and, not long after he checked in with Aya, Yu'nan probably showed up. He, undoubtedly, figured that something was up; W'khael is probably the worst liar in all of Hydaelyn. W'khael explained what was going on, and basically accidentally smacked Yu'nan several Times while trying to explain nigh-incoherently what he was - or, rather, wasn't - feeling. However, Yu'nan caught his wrist one of these Times, and basically told him to sit down and watch himself. Probably said something like 'if you're going to touch me, you'd better try something better' or something like that. Who knows? Not me, because we didn't RP this part, and have only kinda talked about the generals a bit. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, they proceeded to... For lack of an RPC-appropriate term, let's say that they proceeded to have approximately 327 amorous encounters over the next four-ish months of the arc. We don't know what the count references. We don't know what counts as '1', we just know that there was a count of 327. We don't ask questions, especially since one of them was an... NPC? A playable-NPC? Regardless, to be serious for once: W'khael and Yu'nan struck up something that was somewhere between an affair and a not-quite-relationship. Though Yu'nan didn't seem to have much emotion in the affair - or, at least, appeared not to - W'khael had to fight hard to stay the same way, since it was the first Time in his life he'd ever been able to give himself to someone without fear of hurting them or losing himself in the process. <br /> <br />
<br />
Which makes the fact that Yu'nan was a deranged serial killer all the worse, honestly. <br /> <br />
<br />
Yes, after four-ish months of investigation, it turned out that Yu'nan - whose real name was Yu'zars - had actually been killing mages the realm over and stealing some of their body parts to rebuild the body of his near-dead sister, who was being held in a lab in the basement under the shop. Which is probably the exact opposite of what W'khael had been expecting from the affair. Regardless, W'khael was thrown for an emotional loop, and shut down from the realisation that he'd been being used this whole Time. He turned to sarcasm and joking to hide the pain, playing it off to anyone who'd suspected the affair like it had been basically just an emotionless fling. Though he tried to work through the emotions on his own, constant embattlement from Yu'zars against the coven and uprootments from all ends - including the coven's house burning to the ground - led to him having no real Time for it, so he ended up surrounding himself with other people so that he didn't have to worry about his own emotions. He helped the Paladin James to help heal their friend, Lucky Penny, the night of the house's fire, throwing himself into work. It was the first Time in a long Time that he helped anyone to kill anything, let alone any''one'', and some part of him became terrified of how easy it all returned to him. In this case, he explained it away, arguing with himself that it was to help someone - but, he was sorely reminded that that was always what he thought. It was that night of drinking and half-merriment between the three friends that W'khael realised with horror that, maybe, the reason he'd fallen so quickly for Yu'nan may have been the very fact that the two were more similar than he wanted to ever admit - this, he didn't admit to them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Fighting Yu'zars was easy enough - W'khael latched onto the emotions and the anger of everyone around him, and threw himself into the battle. Luckily, nobody had to kill the man, as his very abomination of a 'sister' did it for them - though, this was the first Time in a long Time that W'khael wasn't actually able to ''feel'' the death, so he still isn't sure about if he's come to terms with it. The same went for the coven's leader, Clover; she had been taken by Yu'zars, but was left unfound and likely dead. Luckily, there was some form of merriment after all; the group managed to recover a woman named Aera, and released all of the spirits and souls that Yu'zars had captured over the years, finally allowing them - and the coven - some rest. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
<br />
Currently, W'khael is still with The Silver Spire, who is currently enjoying the dark cloud being lifted from over their heads. He still doesn't know how to come to terms with his feelings; he hangs out around people far more often than he used to, latching on to the merriment and whirlwinds of emotions that he feels from others to keep him afloat. When alone, he finds himself almost apathetic about the betrayal - not callous, but still numb. Still, he tries to be the same as always - more than anything, and more than ever before, he just wants people to be happy. He enjoys it when he gets to partake in that happiness; the smile of a friend is the greatest gift to him. <br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
When first meeting W'khael, you'll very quickly find him to be a kind, nerdy, friendly, and sorta clumsy individual. Parts of his personality still aren't filled in from his Time in the forest - and might never be - so he can space on things, and, whenever he lapses on a sort of judgement in his own head, he grasps onto complimenting someone or finding some sort of kind remark to add to the conversation. He's often regarded as spacey and naïve at Times, but he's upbeat and energetic, loves his friends, and always wants people to be able to smile. If he detects that someone's emotionally hiding something, he'll press a bit - until he realises that, no, bad W'khael, some people have secrets, and he'll pull back. However, if you have a character who you want to spill something but wouldn't do it without some prodding, he's your guy. As long as one of his friends is trying, at literally anything, he's always going to be proud of them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Though it may not be obvious when first meeting him, W'khael's personality will change depending on his location, his surroundings, and who else is in the room, as threads of all personalities and histories will begin unintentionally bleeding into his own. <br /><br />
<br />
If you get to know W'khael, and he is more comfortable around you, or you catch him unaware of your presence somehow, you'll find that he's actually a very calm, kind, and introverted individual. He adores the night, and will just lay on The Silver Spire's house's roof looking at the stars, or closing his eyes and letting the breeze ruffle his hair. <br /><br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
Need a therapist who will push you if you really want your character to spill the beans about something but know that they probably wouldn't? W'khael's your guy! He's also always just there to be a pal. If you also really want someone to pester your character about them and their past, he's there for that, too; he's not a big fan of talking about his own, for obvious reasons, so tends to ask a lot of questions about whoever he's with (unless they're clearly uncomfortable, of course). <br />
<br />
I don't ERP on him, despite his story; Fade to Black is totally fine, but only with someone who he A: has a strong emotional connection with, and B: for some reason doesn't have an aura. <br />

W'Khael sports somewhat-tanned skin, bright silver eyes, and fiery hair that's been streaked with a burnt orange. He's medium height for a Miqo'te, and tends to wear any clothing that's non-restrictive. He rarely carries any visible weapons, but always seems to be able to pull a knife from sheer air. Probably has pockets. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
W'Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious, introverted, and callous nature from early on. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, and took in aether at a far higher rate than normal mages - however, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this. It got stronger as the years went on, but really wasn't much of a problem besides the occasional unexplainable flip-flops of emotion. He and his sister were raised by their parents and their separate tribes, and he made trips between the Silver Spire Coven house and the Wolf Tribe's lands monthly. Though unbeknownst to his family, he would also sneak away from the W Tribe at night, finding his way to local towns and cities and learning tricks from the magicians and dancers of the streets. For a while, he was happy. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaand then, the murders began. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami had already returned to the S Tribe for the season when it happened, but Khael made the unfortunate choice of staying behind a bit longer at the Silver Spire's house. Unfortunately, due to this, Khael woke up one night in some sort of unexplainable panic, and wandered in on a horror that he'll never be able to unsee or unfeel. The 12-year-old slipped out of the house in the middle of the night, and accidentally found his parents, having just been fatally struck by some sort of shadowy figure. He tried desperately to revive his parents, but was unlucky, and the Coven was unable to help. Terrified and devastated, he and the Coven called S'ami back for the burials, but didn't apprise her of the details - those, he kept to himself. Then, when all was done, despite their refusal, he and S'ami were split up to their parents' separate tribes. He was then raised by his tribe for the next year, his power steadily developing - or, rather, becoming more understandable. He discovered that his 'power' was simply the uncontrollable ability of taking in aether from all sources around him; it allowed him to read peoples' emotions, and, more extremely, to take on parts of their aether and personality and feelings of it was in very near proximity to them. It was the worst when he touched someone. When comforting a friend, once, he also discovered that 'taking in' aether meant from ''all'' sources; when he wanted so desperately to heal her emotional pain, he accidentally started pulling the aether from her, leading to him doing his best to avoid touching anyone without some form of barrier so that he didn't hurt them. Not long after displaying these tendencies, a small group of well-trusted members of the Wolf Tribe began enlisting the 13-year-old's aid in small tasks, and he felt like he had some stability. This continued until Dalamud reddened the sky. <br /><br />
<br />
The night of Dalamud's fall, W'khael was almost instantly beset by an overwhelming flux of aether. It was so painful and all-encompassing that he was unable to sense the danger that befell him, and he was knocked out and kidnapped by a small group of members of the W and S tribes who he had long considered his and S'ami's friends. He woke up to find himself and S'ami captive, and everything just ''hurt''. As it turned out, the group believed S'ami and W'khael's existences to be unnatural, and blamed them for Dalamud's fall - which was honesty probably just an excuse, because they already didn't like the two for being the result of members of different tribes leaving and starting their own family. Still, something was wrong with the group - they were far stronger and more callous than W'khael had ever seen them, and he didn't recognise all of them. Terrified of what could happen, S'ami unleashed an explosion of aether above their heads - a bright one, that permanently damaged their eyesight but blinded the cultists enough for the two to escape and run. <br /> <br />
<br />
But it wasn't so easy. Because of course it wasn't. Because I'm writing this part. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami made it outside of the cavern, but a conflux of aether from her spell collapsed a large part of it, trapping W'khael inside with several injured cultists. The snap of aether was too much for him; unable to control his intake of it, W'khael was overwhelmed, and just about lost everything in his mind that made him himself besides one thing: he never wanted anyone to be in pain. Overtaken by the highly neutral nature of Hydaelyn's aether, W'khael became a vessel of neutral will, and crawled to where the nearest cultist was dying. Consumed by the desire to stop the pain, he pulled the very aether from the dying man, taking the pain into himself and drawing everything until every essence of life was gone. Believing that he'd done something right - hey, the guy wasn't in pain anymore - W'khael did the same thing to the other injured cultists, until he was trapped alone with nothing but seven shrivelled corpses. <br /> <br />
<br />
W'khael, unforunately, was left in his neutral daze, Hydaelyn's overflow of aether having broken away any sense of real personality. The only thing that almost spoke to him was S'ami's voice as she tried to break back through the barrier, but by then, he was too far gone. He found another exit, and watched on as Dalamud fell and Answers played. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
When the Calamity actually ''hit'', W'Khael was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, everything was calm and still, and any last vestiges of personality he'd been clinging to were gone. For the next few weeks, he spent his days like a literal ghost, wandering until he found himself in the Black Shroud and barely even being conscious enough to pick a berry every now and then. The aether of the Calamity flooded his system with constant pain and voices, only finally starting to dull after maybe a few months of him walking around the forest in a near-catatonic (CAT-atonic) fugue state. <br /> <br />
<br />
That being said, even when the pain started to fade, W'khael was still little more than a ghost. He became a part of the forest for the next three years, basically a forest spirit of the Shroud who was rarely seen by anything besides the Shroud's animals. With the way that his aether became intertwined into Hydaelyn's, he became near-invisible to anything or anyone besides those looking directly at him - an ability that he can still call on to this day, albeit consciously. He had a few encounters over the years, but rarely spoke or interacted with anything besides critters. If he ever 'helped'/killed anyone else during his years in the Shroud, he doesn't remember. He hopes not, but it's very likely. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily for W'Khael, his sister never gave up hope that he was still alive somewhere - she felt it in her twin bones. At the age of 16, she convinced her new master, Aya Numi, to try tracking him down. A wild chase of very little information led the two to The Black Shroud, and, after maybe a month of careful and precise searching, they ended up running into him. It took another month to gain his trust - Aya's aether was chaotic and unsafe to him, but S'ami's was calm and familiar, and he eventually began interacting with them. When he got close enough, one day, Aya grabbed him, like the feral cat he was. He fought her, but her aetherial protections were stronger than he anticipated. At first, Aya assumed that there was nothing left of him to save, but the thought of telling S'ami that was too devastating a thought. So, she fought him, and spoke to him, and, after a mental battle between the two, he broke down in her arms. He was still far from ''back'', but the moment of humanity and vulnerability was all that Aya needed to be convinced that there was something in him that could be saved. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aya and S'ami brought W'khael back to one of Aya's hotels, closing off an entire wing and securing it so that he was basically a very lavish prisoner for a few weeks. All the while, Aya and S'ami gained more of his trust, and he began having more and more moments of very-near-clarity. With perseverance and care, S'ami and Aya eventually broke through to him. They still didn't allow him near other people quiiiite yet, but he really did become a person again. Over the next few months, they worked with him to form some semblance of his personality again - especially Aya, who understood more than S'ami that that he wasn't quite the same boy he'd been, and that he'd probably never be fully, 100% himself again. But he did his best, and came close to something like his old self eventually - a happy-go-lucky boy who just wanted to make people smile. That being said, when his memories came back and he had a presence of self again, he became somewhat terrified of how unwittingly strong his abilities had become. Aya calmed him down, and promised that she would teach him to control these abilities, just as she'd taught S'ami to control her own. He agreed, and so, after giving him a crystal-lined choker to help him control his aetherial intake, she tentatively started letting him be around other people again. <br /> <br />
<br />
Not long after W'khael became a literal person again, he and S'ami brought Aya to the old Silver Spire house to see if it was still working - and it very much was, albeit barely. Under the direction of a dejected Clover Daley, it seemed that much of the old coven had fled after Dalamud's wake, trying to put the murders behind them. Soon, the three began working with Clover to get the coven up-and-running again. It worked, and it was fantastic! <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaaaaaaand then the murders started again. <br /> <br />
<br />
It was slow, really, but it was obvious that the murders of the coven members had never really stopped. The group became scared, and W'khael was terrified of losing all of the people that he'd only just come back to. So, they started working together to solve these murders once and for all. <br /> <br />
<br />
Enter Yu'nan. <br /> <br />
<br />
Clover took the group to Gridania one night, hoping to introduce them to Yu'nan, the owner of a reagents shop that she had been going to since before the first bout of murders. However, before they could get there, a woman - who is, evidently, still at large - burst into the middle of the group, illusioning herself to look like Clover and running off to confuse the guards that were after her. After a permissive nod from Aya, W'khael hippity-hopped into the shadows of Gridania, chasing the woman down. Unfortunately, one of the largest side-effects of W'khael's properties of aetherial intake include a massive susceptibility to spells and curses - something that the woman accidentally took advantage of, in ensorcelling him {Nat 1 + -5 ayyye} and leaving him basically half-drunk on romantic aether in a back-alley of Gridania where he basically drawled on about his whole story to a moogle for hours. When he finally had the ability to stand back, he wandered to where he remembered the group having gone - Clover had given them all the address, just in case something catastrophic happened. Unfortunately, he got there just after everyone had gone for the night - evidently, he heard some rumours on the way there about some run-in they'd had with an immortal squirrel in the mud just barely outside of Gridania's gates, or some such. Luckily, Yu'nan, despite having closed his shop for the night, opened it at W'khael's knocking. The miqo'te shopkeep clearly understood that W'khael had been magically drugged, because he took the boy in, shutting the door and giving him a drought to help with the aether sickness that had come with the spell. Yu'nan Linkshelled Aya to tell her not to worry anymore, that he would keep W'khael there for the night to watch over him and make sure that the aether faded without any negative side-effects. This, of course, was news to W'khael, but he was in too much of a state to properly argue. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily, Yu'nan was clearly the kindest and most innocent person on Hydaelyn, because he did exactly what he said he would - woop. Despite mentioning that he'd been about to leave for the night, he instead opted to stay with W'khael, giving the (18-year-old; that's important) boy a spare bedroom and plenty of water. W'khael fell in and out of a fitful sleep, and Yu'nan was always in the room with him, watching cautiously. Maybe a lil bit creepily, but there's nothing creepy about that guy whatsoever. Anyways, W'khael finally seemed to duck the spell way too late in the evening, maybe 3 am-ish - and Yu'nan was still with him, albeit probably half-asleep. W'khael finally had a clear head, and thanked Yu'nan for everything, saying that he felt well enough to leave if he was taking up too much space; Yu'nan probably laughed about it, and said that it was really no bother, and that W'khael was far safer with him than trying to get home alone ((Insert 'So anyways, that was a lie' meme here)). Yu'nan probably murmured something like 'rest well' and rubbed W'khael behind the ears before starting to head off for the night, and it was at that moment that W'khael realised two things for the first Time: A, that he probably wasn't exactly straight, but ''B'', that he didn't feel anything from Yu'nan. No aether, no emotion, no personality. Nothing. When Yu'nan touched him, there was nothing. No rush. No fear of accidentally harming the man. At the Time, W'khael was too stunned and confused to say anything, so he let Yu'nan leave for the night. In the morning, he thanked him again, and tried to pay - but Yu'nan assured him that there was no worry there, and that he just wanted W'khael to be safe. Probably said something along the lines of 'who knows what's lurking outside, probably serial killers or something'. Anyways, W'khael left, deciding to figure out on his own what was up with the man and not return until he'd thought it through. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, that probably lasted until about that night. After apologising profusely to Aya for being gone so long, W'khael said that was again going to be gone for long, because he had to figure out what was going on. Begrudgingly, Aya agreed, but told him that he absolutely had to check in with her every now and then if he did so. He agreed, and went back to Yu'nan's shop that night under the pretense of forgetting to buy something, not long after closing. Yu'nan probably kicked a limb under the table and then told him that he was welcome whenever. W'khael rented a room from him, and, not long after he checked in with Aya, Yu'nan probably showed up. He, undoubtedly, figured that something was up; W'khael is probably the worst liar in all of Hydaelyn. W'khael explained what was going on, and basically accidentally smacked Yu'nan several Times while trying to explain nigh-incoherently what he was - or, rather, wasn't - feeling. However, Yu'nan caught his wrist one of these Times, and basically told him to sit down and watch himself. Probably said something like 'if you're going to touch me, you'd better try something better' or something like that. Who knows? Not me, because we didn't RP this part, and have only kinda talked about the generals a bit. <br /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, they proceeded to... For lack of an RPC-appropriate term, let's say that they proceeded to have approximately 327 amorous encounters over the next four-ish months of the arc. We don't know what the count references. We don't know what counts as '1', we just know that there was a count of 327. We don't ask questions, especially since one of them was an... NPC? A playable-NPC? Regardless, to be serious for once: W'khael and Yu'nan struck up something that was somewhere between an affair and a not-quite-relationship. Though Yu'nan didn't seem to have much emotion in the affair - or, at least, appeared not to - W'khael had to fight hard to stay the same way, since it was the first Time in his life he'd ever been able to give himself to someone without fear of hurting them or losing himself in the process. <br /> <br />
<br />
Which makes the fact that Yu'nan was a deranged serial killer all the worse, honestly. <br /> <br />
<br />
Yes, after four-ish months of investigation, it turned out that Yu'nan - whose real name was Yu'zars - had actually been killing mages the realm over and stealing some of their body parts to rebuild the body of his near-dead sister, who was being held in a lab in the basement under the shop. Which is probably the exact opposite of what W'khael had been expecting from the affair. Regardless, W'khael was thrown for an emotional loop, and shut down from the realisation that he'd been being used this whole Time. He turned to sarcasm and joking to hide the pain, playing it off to anyone who'd suspected the affair like it had been basically just an emotionless fling. Though he tried to work through the emotions on his own, constant embattlement from Yu'zars against the coven and uprootments from all ends - including the coven's house burning to the ground - led to him having no real Time for it, so he ended up surrounding himself with other people so that he didn't have to worry about his own emotions. He helped the Paladin James to help heal their friend, Lucky Penny, the night of the house's fire, throwing himself into work. It was the first Time in a long Time that he helped anyone to kill anything, let alone any''one'', and some part of him became terrified of how easy it all returned to him. In this case, he explained it away, arguing with himself that it was to help someone - but, he was sorely reminded that that was always what he thought. It was that night of drinking and half-merriment between the three friends that W'khael realised with horror that, maybe, the reason he'd fallen so quickly for Yu'nan may have been the very fact that the two were more similar than he wanted to ever admit - this, he didn't admit to them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Fighting Yu'zars was easy enough - W'khael latched onto the emotions and the anger of everyone around him, and threw himself into the battle. Luckily, nobody had to kill the man, as his very abomination of a 'sister' did it for them - though, this was the first Time in a long Time that W'khael wasn't actually able to ''feel'' the death, so he still isn't sure about if he's come to terms with it. The same went for the coven's leader, Clover; she had been taken by Yu'zars, but was left unfound and likely dead. Luckily, there was some form of merriment after all; the group managed to recover a woman named Aera, and released all of the spirits and souls that Yu'zars had captured over the years, finally allowing them - and the coven - some rest. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
<br />
Currently, W'khael is still with The Silver Spire, who is currently enjoying the dark cloud being lifted from over their heads. He still doesn't know how to come to terms with his feelings; he hangs out around people far more often than he used to, latching on to the merriment and whirlwinds of emotions that he feels from others to keep him afloat. When alone, he finds himself almost apathetic about the betrayal - not callous, but still numb. Still, he tries to be the same as always - more than anything, and more than ever before, he just wants people to be happy. He enjoys it when he gets to partake in that happiness; the smile of a friend is the greatest gift to him. <br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
When first meeting W'khael, you'll very quickly find him to be a kind, nerdy, friendly, and sorta clumsy individual. Parts of his personality still aren't filled in from his Time in the forest - and might never be - so he can space on things, and, whenever he lapses on a sort of judgement in his own head, he grasps onto complimenting someone or finding some sort of kind remark to add to the conversation. He's often regarded as spacey and naïve at Times, but he's upbeat and energetic, loves his friends, and always wants people to be able to smile. If he detects that someone's emotionally hiding something, he'll press a bit - until he realises that, no, bad W'khael, some people have secrets, and he'll pull back. However, if you have a character who you want to spill something but wouldn't do it without some prodding, he's your guy. As long as one of his friends is trying, at literally anything, he's always going to be proud of them. <br /> <br />
<br />
Though it may not be obvious when first meeting him, W'khael's personality will change depending on his location, his surroundings, and who else is in the room, as threads of all personalities and histories will begin unintentionally bleeding into his own. <br /><br />
<br />
If you get to know W'khael, and he is more comfortable around you, or you catch him unaware of your presence somehow, you'll find that he's actually a very calm, kind, and introverted individual. He adores the night, and will just lay on The Silver Spire's house's roof looking at the stars, or closing his eyes and letting the breeze ruffle his hair. <br /><br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
Need a therapist who will push you if you really want your character to spill the beans about something but know that they probably wouldn't? W'khael's your guy! He's also always just there to be a pal. If you also really want someone to pester your character about them and their past, he's there for that, too; he's not a big fan of talking about his own, for obvious reasons, so tends to ask a lot of questions about whoever he's with (unless they're clearly uncomfortable, of course). <br />
<br />
I don't ERP on him, despite his story; Fade to Black is totally fine, but only with someone who he A: has a strong emotional connection with, and B: for some reason doesn't have an aura. <br />

==Appearance==<br />
Khael sports somewhat-tanned skin, silver eyes, and fiery hair that's been streaked with a burnt orange. He's rather tall, and tends to wear any clothing that's non-restrictive. He rarely carries any visible weapons, but always seems to be able to pull a knife or small pistol from sheer air. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious, introverted, and callous nature from early on - to observers, at least. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this, and training to become a hunter. He and his sister were raised by their parents and their separate tribes, making trips between the Silver Spire Coven house and the W Tribe's lands monthly. For a while, despite the need to rest after being around people for a long Time, he was happy. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaand then, the murders began. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami had already returned to the S Tribe for the season when it happened, but Khael made the unfortunate choice of staying behind a bit longer to ask his mother some questions about her conjury. Unfortunately, due to this, Khael walked in on a horror that he'll never be able to unsee or unfeel. He tried desperately to revive his parents, but was unlucky, and the Coven was unable to help. Terrified and devastated, he and the Coven called S'ami back for the burials, but didn't apprise her of the details - those, he kept to himself. Then, when all was done, despite their refusal, he and S'ami were split up to their parents' separate tribes. He was then raised by his tribe for the next year, and, when Dalamud first reddened the sky, he was off 'hunting' for them. <br /><br />
<br />
Except, he wasn't hunting, and that wasn't something that he would have said in the past. Rather, Khael, despite putting on a callous demeanor, actually has one of the sweetest hearts you'd ever find - hurting anything is beyond him. So, after getting into an argument with his adoptive trainers about this - and other things - he went out on a 'hunt' to find and pet as many animals in the Black Shroud as he could. <br /> <br />
<br />
And then, freakin' Bahamut ruined everybody's funtimes, like a big ol' scaly lizard nerd. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
When the Calamity hit, Khael was knocked unconscious by the gods' forsaken overflow of aether. For the next few weeks after waking up, he spent his days like a literal ghost, drifting around the Black Shroud and barely even being conscious enough to be reminded to pick a berry every now and then. The aether of the Calamity flooded his system with constant pain and voices, only finally starting to dull after maybe a month of him walking around in a near-catatonic (CAT-ataonic) fugue state. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily for Khael, a month was all it took for the travellers Aya Numi and S'ami to find him and basically slap him back into some sort of consciousness. Aya and S'ami revealed that they were wandering mages, learning about the planet in the days following the Calamity to protect people from the Darkness that now swarmed the land. Aya promised that they would try to figure out how to dull the Calamity's pain if he came with them, and so, he did, and they travelled Eorzea in search of any knowledge that might come their way. Their mission became knowledge for the sake of knowledge, and the darker the magic involved the better. As they went, Aya taught Khael to defend himself with knives that he learned to imbue using his unique aether, and S'ami taught him a wicked sort of cleverness that he took to particularly quickly. When it was revealed that S'ami was actually his twin sister, their similar personalities only made that much more sense. He accompanied her back to her tribe so that they could understand why the two were separated - when it was revealed that their parents had died in an aetherial fire, Khael was struck low, but he tried to keep a pep in his step. <br /> <br />
<br />
Now that Aya, S'ami, and W'khael have acquired a house in Ul'dah, Khael has begun to become more aware of his almost telepathic reality. Aya operates their house as a sort of temporary hotel for travellers and adventurers, and Khael has learned to take on one aether at a Time. He doesn't quite know why S'ami was gifted with fiery brilliance and a knowledge of languages, and he doesn't know why he was gifted with a strange sort of aetherial telepathy, but he's started to become more comfortable with the aethers that he feels - in small doses, of course. He can understand the history of an object, which has led to him being a careful handler of enchantments - he's been known to deftly juggle Rank VIII materia because he handles it so well. For now, he's content to read, study, practice his knifework in the shadows, and laze around under the warm Ul'dah sun like the kitty he is. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
To someone he first meets, Khael will come across one of three ways: very flirtatious, very peppy, or very devious. All three are part of his base personality, of course. <br /><br />
<br />
Though it may not be obvious when first meeting him, Khael's personality will change depending on his location, his surroundings, and who else is in the room, as threads of all personalities and histories will begin unintentionally bleeding into his own. This is mostly muted whenever he's in the presence of someone he's close to, however; currently, this is only S'ami.<br /><br />
<br />
If you get to know Khael, and he is more comfortable around you - or you catch him unawares and he has no Time to switch into a peppy attitude - you'll find that he's actually a very calm individual. <br /><br />
<br />
Despite this, Khael is still caring; if an ally is in trouble, he'll rush to their aid with very little second thought. <br /><br />

==Appearance==<br />
Aya is a Hyuran woman no older than perhaps her early twenties. Despite this fact, her hair is silver, typically kept either shoulder-length or long. Her eyes would be described as a stark magenta. She also bears pale skin, and black tribal-like markings on her shoulders, down her back, and down her sides. You know... when you can see those features, I guess. <br />
==History==<br />
<br />
<center> <big>'''Pre-Calamity'''</big> </center> <br /> <br />
<br />
<center> <big>{{redacted}}</big> </center> <br /> <br />
<br />
<center> <big>'''Post-Calamity'''</big> </center> <br /> <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Aya doesn't currently remember anything prior to the Calamity - most likely, she hit her head pretty hard, because she woke up some old swamp somewhere with nothing but the clothes on her back and the staff in her hands. She had black markings along her skin, and context clues have led her to believe that she was probably a thaumaturge or Black Mage who tried to protect herself from the Calamity - if not try to help stop it. But, obviously, something went very wrong with her magicks, and it blew up in her face (probably literally). <br /> <br />
<br />
<br />
However, following the Calamity, Aya only knew that she wanted to keep anything like the Calamity from ever happening again. Knowing that this was dark magick at work, she decided to set her eyes on only the darkest types of knowledge - and to make sure that it could never hurt anybody again, as long as she could help it. She set about exploring Eorzea in search of such knowledge, eventually collecting the Miqo'te twins S'ami and W'khael Malkoh and helping them to learn about their own potent magicks. She has made many a friend along the way, and continues to do so. <br /> <br />
<br />
<br />
After a year or so of careful trading and diligent work, Aya saved up enough to buy her and her cultist followers/friends/allies an old manor house in Ul'dah - not conspicuously huge, but large enough to host travellers, hold her library, give S'ami room to practice her chemical experimentation, give W'khael room to practice his knifework, and still somehow fit a shark in the tank downstairs. She's named the 'hotel' 'Panda-Chan's Palace', in honor of the red panda that has been by her side not long since she awoke after the Calamity. Recently, she's been travelling between the Palace and a small cottage of exclusive witches/mages who live not far away; individuals who have an incredible amount of wonderful stories to tell and spells to practice. <br /> <br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Aya is the opposite of many stoic-type archetypes, in that she's very - even overly - friendly with people she doesn't know. If it's your first Time meeting her, she'll either give off one or two auras: very withheld, or very peppy, to the point that every word is accompanied by a happy smile ((she's even been known to curl into a ball and roll down the staircase as a potato, before)). She's probably one of the nicest black-magic-dabblers you'll ever find, actually. That being said, don't take her for naive - if you were to ask her about something deeper than flowers, or reveal some dark secret, you can trust her to be there for you. <br /><br />
<br />
Lately, after devoting more Time to studying beneficial magicks instead of harmful ones, Aya has become much calmer and more thoughtful. If you leave her to herself, she'll end up in her own thoughts in seconds, either watching others, or watching the stars. She enjoys the cold and the night, and as such, you'll often find her lying out in a field on a quiet night. <br /><br />

The two quickly became good friends as Sami helped Aya to better understand the layout of the land. Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea. Aya helps S'ami to experiment with conjury and alchemy, and gives her free reign of the Palace's workshops ((that totally exist somewhere that you guys just totally can't see.)). <br />

Of course, it was later revealed that W'khael was S'ami's long lost twin brother, because of course he was, which basically means that Aya collected the whole set! Yay! Aya and Khael have worked together to understand his telepathy, and, due to his ability to sense any and all moving aethers, she'll occasionally send him on reconnaissance missions, as he's able to notice living beings before they even get close to him. She's also given him training as a rogue - though, she's well aware that he would never actually hurt a little ladybug. <br />

==Appearance==<br />
Aya is a Hyuran woman no older than perhaps her early twenties. Despite this fact, her hair is silver, typically kept either shoulder-length or long. Her eyes would be described as a stark magenta. She also bears pale skin, and black tribal-like markings on her shoulders, down her back, and down her sides. You know... when you can see those features, I guess. <br />
==History==<br />
<br />
<center> <big>'''Pre-Calamity'''</big> </center> <br /> <br />
<br />
<center> <big>{{redacted}}</big> </center> <br /> <br />
<br />
<center> <big>'''Post-Calamity'''</big> </center> <br /> <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Aya doesn't currently remember anything prior to the Calamity - most likely, she hit her head pretty hard, because she woke up some old swamp somewhere with nothing but the clothes on her back and the staff in her hands. She had black markings along her skin, and context clues have led her to believe that she was probably a thaumaturge or Black Mage who tried to protect herself from the Calamity - if not try to help stop it. But, obviously, something went very wrong with her magicks, and it blew up in her face (probably literally). <br /> <br />
<br />
However, following the Calamity, Aya only knew that she wanted to keep anything like the Calamity from ever happening again. Knowing that this was dark magick at work, she decided to set her eyes on only the darkest types of knowledge - and to make sure that it could never hurt anybody again, as long as she could help it. She set about exploring Eorzea in search of such knowledge, eventually collecting the Miqo'te twins S'ami and W'khael Malkoh and helping them to learn about their own potent magicks. She has made many a friend along the way, and continues to do so. <br /> <br />
<br />
After a year or so of careful trading and diligent work, Aya saved up enough to by her and her cultist followers/friends/allies a medium manor house in Ul'dah - not conspicuously huge, but large enough to host travellers, hold her library, give S'ami room to practice her chemical experimentation, give W'khael room to practice his knifework, and still somehow fit a shark in the tank downstairs. She's named the 'hotel' 'Panda-Chan's Palace', in honor of the red panda that has been by her side since she awoke following the Calamity. Recently, she's been travelling between the Palace and a small cottage of exclusive witches/mages who live in the Black Shroud, who have an incredibly amount of wonderful stories to tell and spells to practice. <br /> <br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Aya is the opposite of many stoic-type archetypes, in that she's very - even overly - friendly with people she doesn't know. If it's your first Time meeting her, she'll either give off one or two auras: very withheld, or very peppy, to the point that every word is accompanied by a happy smile ((she's even been known to curl into a ball and roll down the staircase as a potato, before; no, they didn't kick me out, I was welcomed as I am)). She's probably one of the nicest black-magic-dabblers you'll ever find, actually. That being said, don't take her for naive - if you were to ask her about something deeper than flowers, or reveal some dark secret, you can trust her to be there for you. <br /><br />
<br />
Lately, after devoting more Time to studying beneficial magicks instead of harmful ones, Aya has become much calmer and more thoughtful. If you leave her to herself, she'll end up in her own thoughts in seconds, either watching others, or watching the stars. She enjoys the cold and the night, and as such, you'll often find her lying out in a field on a quiet night. <br /><br />

The two quickly became good friends as Sami helped Aya to better understand the layout of the land. Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea. Aya helps S'ami to experiment with conjury and alchemy, and gives her free reign of the Palace's workshops ((that totally exist somewhere that you guys just totally can't see.)). <br />

Of course, it was later revealed that W'khael was S'ami's long lost twin brother, because of course he was, which basically means that Aya collected the whole set! Yay! Aya and Khael have worked together to understand his telepathy, and, due to his ability to sense any and all moving aethers, she'll occasionally send him on reconnaissance missions, as he's able to notice living beings before they even get close to him. She's also given him training as a rogue - though, she's well aware that he would never actually hurt a little ladybug. <br />

==Appearance==<br />
Aya is a Hyuran woman no older than perhaps her early twenties. Despite this fact, her hair is silver, typically kept either shoulder-length or long. Her eyes would be described as a stark magenta. She also bears pale skin, and black tribal-like markings on her shoulders, down her back, and down her sides. You know... when you can see those features, I guess. <br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Aya doesn't currently remember anything prior to the Calamity - most likely, she hit her head pretty hard. She had black markings along her skin, and context clues have led her to believe that she was probably a Black Mage who tried to protect herself from the Calamity - if not try to help stop it - but that, obviously, something went very wrong with her magicks, and it blew up in her face (maybe literally). <br /> <br />
<br />
However, following the Calamity, Aya only knew that she wanted to keep anything like the Calamity from ever happening again. Knowing that this was dark magick at work, she decided to set her eyes on only the darkest types of knowledge - and to make sure that it could never hurt anybody again, as long as she could help it. She set about exploring Eorzea in search of such knowledge, eventually collecting the Miqo'te twins S'ami and W'khael Malkoh and helping them to learn about their own potent magicks. She has made many a friend along the way, and continues to do so. <br /> <br />
<br />
After a year or so of careful trading and diligent work, Aya saved up enough to by her and her cultist followers/friends/allies a medium manor house in Ul'dah - not conspicuously huge, but large enough to host travellers, hold her library, give S'ami room to practice her chemical experimentation, give W'khael room to practice his knifework, and still somehow fit a shark in the tank downstairs. She's named the 'hotel' 'Panda-Chan's Palace', in honor of the red panda that has been by her side since she awoke following the Calamity. Recently, she's been travelling between the Palace and a small cottage of exclusive witches/mages who live in the Black Shroud, who have an incredibly amount of wonderful stories to tell and spells to practice. <br /> <br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Aya is the opposite of many stoic-type archetypes, in that she's very - even overly - friendly with people she doesn't know. If it's your first Time meeting her, she'll either give off one or two auras: very withheld, or very peppy, to the point that every word is accompanied by a happy smile ((she's even been known to curl into a ball and roll down the staircase as a potato, before; no, they didn't kick me out, I was welcomed as I am)). She's probably one of the nicest black-magic-dabblers you'll ever find, actually. That being said, don't take her for naive - if you were to ask her about something deeper than flowers, or reveal some dark secret, you can trust her to be there for you. <br /><br />
<br />
Lately, after devoting more Time to studying beneficial magicks instead of harmful ones, Aya has become much calmer and more thoughtful. If you leave her to herself, she'll end up in her own thoughts in seconds, either watching others, or watching the stars. She enjoys the cold and the night, and as such, you'll often find her lying out in a field on a quiet night. <br /><br />

<div>Hello, and welcome! You can call me Aya; I'm a roleplayer on the realm of Mateus, and I'm always looking for new people to play with! <br />
==Characters==<br />
[[Aya Numi]] - Aya has been moved to Mateus, as well! She's now my main character. Three years after originally writing this page, her bio has officially been situated! <br /> <br />
<br />
[[Sami Molkoh]] - This is my alt character, who I roleplay on Mateus! <br /> <br />
<br />
[[W'khael Tia]] - After transferring Khael, he is now on Mateus! <br />
<br />
==My Types of RP== <br />
<br />
Sorry to say, but I'm not looking to ERP with any of my characters. However, Sami and Khael still open to develop relationships, and I don't mind seeing where that takes them! <br />
<br />
==Availability== <br />
<br />
If for some reason you've found this bland page and think 'Hey, that person looks fantastic, I'd like to meet their characters ICly!', feel free to write me whenever I'm online! I'm not always on RPC, but you can send me a message if you want. If not, feel free to write me in-game!

<br />
I'm on Aya most days, though am typically not IC unless it's noted by my Search Info. With Shadowbringers out now (yay!) I'm going to be focused on story progression and PvE for a while, but if you see Aya wandering around the new landscapes and want to throw an IC wave, go ahead! Despite my OOC status, I'll always respond ICly if you're in character.</div>Aya Numihttps://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/index.php?title=W%27khael_Tia&diff=348286W'khael Tia2020-03-03T19:11:21Z<p>Aya Numi: </p>

==Appearance==<br />
Khael sports somewhat-tanned skin, silver eyes, and fiery hair that's been streaked with a burnt orange. He's rather tall, and tends to wear any clothing that's non-restrictive. He rarely carries any visible weapons, but always seems to be able to pull a knife or small pistol from sheer air. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious, introverted, and callous nature from early on - to observers, at least. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this, and training to become a hunter. He and his sister were raised by their parents and their separate tribes, making trips between the Silver Spire Coven house and the W Tribe's lands monthly. For a while, despite the need to rest after being around people for a long Time, he was happy. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaand then, the murders began. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami had already returned to the S Tribe for the season when it happened, but Khael made the unfortunate choice of staying behind a bit longer to ask his mother some questions about her conjury. Unfortunately, due to this, Khael walked in on a horror that he'll never be able to unsee or unfeel. He tried desperately to revive his parents, but was unlucky, and the Coven was unable to help. Terrified and devastated, he and the Coven called S'ami back for the burials, but didn't apprise her of the details - those, he kept to himself. Then, when all was done, despite their refusal, he and S'ami were split up to their parents' separate tribes. He was then raised by his tribe for the next year, and, when Dalamud first reddened the sky, he was off 'hunting' for them. <br /><br />
<br />
Except, he wasn't hunting, and that wasn't something that he would have said in the past. Rather, Khael, despite putting on a callous demeanor, actually has one of the sweetest hearts you'd ever find - hurting anything is beyond him. So, after getting into an argument with his adoptive trainers about this - and other things - he went out on a 'hunt' to find and pet as many animals in the Black Shroud as he could. <br /> <br />
<br />
And then, freakin' Bahamut ruined everybody's funtimes, like a big ol' scaly lizard nerd. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
When the Calamity hit, Khael was knocked unconscious by the gods' forsaken overflow of aether. For the next few weeks after waking up, he spent his days like a literal ghost, drifting around the Black Shroud and barely even being conscious enough to be reminded to pick a berry every now and then. The aether of the Calamity flooded his system with constant pain and voices, only finally starting to dull after maybe a month of him walking around in a near-catatonic (CAT-ataonic) fugue state. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily for Khael, a month was all it took for the travellers Aya Numi and S'ami to find him and basically slap him back into some sort of consciousness. Aya and S'ami revealed that they were wandering mages, learning about the planet in the days following the Calamity to protect people from the Darkness that now swarmed the land. Aya promised that they would try to figure out how to dull the Calamity's pain if he came with them, and so, he did, and they travelled Eorzea in search of any knowledge that might come their way. Their mission became knowledge for the sake of knowledge, and the darker the magic involved the better. As they went, Aya taught Khael to defend himself with knives that he learned to imbue using his unique aether, and S'ami taught him a wicked sort of cleverness that he took to particularly quickly. When it was revealed that S'ami was actually his twin sister, their similar personalities only made that much more sense. He accompanied her back to her tribe so that they could understand why the two were separated - when it was revealed that their parents had died in an aetherial fire, Khael was struck low, but he tried to keep a pep in his step. <br /> <br />
<br />
Now that Aya, S'ami, and W'khael have acquired a house in Ul'dah, Khael has begun to become more aware of his almost telepathic reality. Aya operates their house as a sort of temporary hotel for travellers and adventurers, and Khael has learned to take on one aether at a Time. He doesn't quite know why S'ami was gifted with fiery brilliance and a knowledge of languages, and he doesn't know why he was gifted with a strange sort of aetherial telepathy, but he's started to become more comfortable with the aethers that he feels - in small doses, of course. He can understand the history of an object, which has led to him being a careful handler of enchantments - he's been known to deftly juggle Rank VIII materia because he handles it so well. For now, he's content to read, study, practice his knifework in the shadows, and laze around under the warm Ul'dah sun like the kitty he is. <br /> <br />

==Personality==<br />
To someone he first meets, Khael will come across one of three ways: very flirtatious, very peppy, or very devious. All three are part of his base personality, of course. <br /><br />
<br />
Though it may not be obvious when first meeting him, Khael's personality will change depending on his location, his surroundings, and who else is in the room, as threads of all personalities and histories will begin unintentionally bleeding into his own. This is mostly muted whenever he's in the presence of someone he's close to, however; currently, this is only S'ami.<br /><br />
<br />
If you get to know Khael, and he is more comfortable around you - or you catch him unawares and he has no Time to switch into a peppy attitude - you'll find that he's actually a very calm individual. <br /><br />
<br />
Despite this, Khael is still caring; if an ally is in trouble, he'll rush to their aid with very little second thought. <br /><br />

==Appearance==<br />
Khael sports somewhat-tanned skin, silver eyes, and fiery hair that's been streaked with a burnt orange. He's rather tall, and tends to wear any clothing that's non-restrictive. He rarely carries any visible weapons, but always seems to be able to pull a knife or small pistol from sheer air. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious, introverted, and callous nature from early on - to observers, at least. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this, and training to become a hunter. He and his sister were raised by their parents and their separate tribes, making trips between the Silver Spire Coven house and the W Tribe's lands monthly. For a while, despite the need to rest after being around people for a long Time, he was happy. <br /> <br />
<br />
Aaaaaand then, the murders began. <br /> <br />
<br />
S'ami had already returned to the S Tribe for the season when it happened, but Khael made the unfortunate choice of staying behind a bit longer to ask his mother some questions about her conjury. Unfortunately, due to this, Khael walked in on a horror that he'll never be able to unsee or unfeel. He tried desperately to revive his parents, but was unlucky, and the Coven was unable to help. Terrified and devastated, he and the Coven called S'ami back for the burials, but didn't apprise her of the details - those, he kept to himself. Then, when all was done, despite their refusal, he and S'ami were split up to their parents' separate tribes. He was then raised by his tribe for the next year, and, when Dalamud first reddened the sky, he was off 'hunting' for them. <br /><br />
<br />
Except, he wasn't hunting, and that wasn't something that he would have said in the past. Rather, Khael, despite putting on a callous demeanor, actually has one of the sweetest hearts you'd ever find - hurting anything is beyond him. So, after getting into an argument with his adoptive trainers about this - and other things - he went out on a 'hunt' to find and pet as many animals in the Black Shroud as he could. <br /> <br />
<br />
And then, freakin' Bahamut ruined everybody's funtimes, like a big ol' scaly lizard nerd. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
When the Calamity hit, Khael was knocked unconscious by the gods' forsaken overflow of aether. For the next few weeks after waking up, he spent his days like a literal ghost, drifting around the Black Shroud and barely even being conscious enough to be reminded to pick a berry every now and then. The aether of the Calamity flooded his system with constant pain and voices, only finally starting to dull after maybe a month of him walking around in a near-catatonic (CAT-ataonic) fugue state. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily for Khael, a month was all it took for the travellers Aya Numi and S'ami to find him and basically slap him back into some sort of consciousness. Aya and S'ami revealed that they were wandering mages, learning about the planet in the days following the Calamity to protect people from the Darkness that now swarmed the land. Aya promised that they would try to figure out how to dull the Calamity's pain if he came with them, and so, he did, and they travelled Eorzea in search of any knowledge that might come their way. Their mission became knowledge for the sake of knowledge, and the darker the magic involved the better. As they went, Aya taught Khael to defend himself with knives that he learned to imbue using his unique aether, and S'ami taught him a wicked sort of cleverness that he took to particularly quickly. When it was revealed that S'ami was actually his twin sister, their similar personalities only made that much more sense. He accompanied her back to her tribe so that they could understand why the two were separated - when it was revealed that their parents had died in an aetherial fire, Khael was struck low, but he tried to keep a pep in his step. <br /> <br />
<br />
Now that Aya, S'ami, and W'khael have acquired a house in Ul'dah, Khael has begun to become more aware of his almost telepathic reality. Aya operates their house as a sort of temporary hotel for travellers and adventurers, and Khael has learned to take on one aether at a Time. He doesn't quite know why S'ami was gifted with fiery brilliance and a knowledge of languages, and he doesn't know why he was gifted with a strange sort of aetherial telepathy, but he's started to become more comfortable with the aethers that he feels - in small doses, of course.

<br />
In most occasions, you'll more than likely catch Khael in a flirtatious mood. He isn't as bad as some people - SPARROW - but he's a bit shameless in his comments and innuendos. He doesn't mean to offend, of course, and he'll always back off if he can tell that the other party is uncomfortable. <br />

<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Aya is a Hyuran woman no older than perhaps her early twenties. Despite this fact, her hair is silver, typically kept either shoulder-length or long. Her eyes would be described as a stark magenta. She also bears pale skin, and black tribal-like markings on her shoulders, down her back, and down her sides. You know... when you can see those features, I guess. <br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Aya doesn't currently remember anything prior to the Calamity - most likely, she hit her head pretty hard. She had black markings along her skin, and context clues have led her to believe that she was probably a Black Mage who tried to protect herself from the Calamity - if not try to help stop it - but that, obviously, something went very wrong with her magicks, and it blew up in her face (maybe literally). <br /> <br />
<br />
However, following the Calamity, Aya only knew that she wanted to keep anything like the Calamity from ever happening again. Knowing that this was dark magick at work, she decided to set her eyes on only the darkest types of knowledge - and to make sure that it could never hurt anybody again, as long as she could help it. She set about exploring Eorzea in search of such knowledge, eventually collecting the Miqo'te twins S'ami and W'khael Malkoh and helping them to learn about their own potent magicks. She has made many a friend along the way, and continues to do so. <br /> <br />
<br />
After a year or so of careful trading and diligent work, Aya saved up enough to by her and her cultist followers/friends/allies a medium manor house in Ul'dah - not conspicuously huge, but large enough to host travellers, hold her library, give S'ami room to practice her chemical experimentation, give W'khael room to practice his knifework, and still somehow fit a shark in the tank downstairs. She's named the 'hotel' 'Panda-Chan's Palace', in honor of the red panda that has been by her side since she awoke following the Calamity. Recently, she's been travelling between the Palace and a small cottage of exclusive witches/mages who live in the Black Shroud, who have an incredibly amount of wonderful stories to tell and spells to practice. <br /> <br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Aya is the opposite of many stoic-type archetypes, in that she's very - even overly - friendly with people she doesn't know. If it's your first Time meeting her, she'll either give off one or two auras: very withheld, or very peppy, to the point that every word is accompanied by a happy smile ((she's even been known to curl into a ball and roll down the staircase as a potato, before; no, they didn't kick me out, I was welcomed as I am)). She's probably one of the nicest black-magic-dabblers you'll ever find, actually. That being said, don't take her for naive - if you were to ask her about something deeper than flowers, or reveal some dark secret, you can trust her to be there for you. <br /><br />
<br />
Lately, after devoting more Time to studying beneficial magicks instead of harmful ones, Aya has become much calmer and more thoughtful. If you leave her to herself, she'll end up in her own thoughts in seconds, either watching others, or watching the stars. She enjoys the cold and the night, and as such, you'll often find her lying out in a field on a quiet night. <br /><br />

The two quickly became good friends as Sami helped Aya to better understand the layout of the land. Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea. Aya helps S'ami to experiment with conjury and alchemy, and gives her free reign of the Palace's workshops ((that totally exist somewhere that you guys just totally can't see.)). <br />

Of course, it was later revealed that W'khael was S'ami's long lost twin brother, because of course he was, which basically means that Aya collected the whole set! Yay! Aya and Khael have worked together to understand his telepathy, and, due to his ability to sense any and all moving aethers, she'll occasionally send him on reconnaissance missions, as he's able to notice living beings before they even get close to him. She's also given him training as a rogue - though, she's well aware that he would never actually hurt a little ladybug. <br />

Aya does not display any obvious idea of religion, but treats the gods as though they certainly exist. Of the Twelve, though, she seems to honor the Fury most of all, likely thanks to her Time in Ishgard. <br />

==Appearance==<br />
Aya is a Hyuran woman no older than perhaps her early twenties. Despite this fact, her hair is silver, typically kept either shoulder-length or long. Her eyes would be described as a stark magenta. She also bears pale skin, and black tribal-like markings on her shoulders, down her back, and down her sides. You know... when you can see those features, I guess. <br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Aya doesn't currently remember anything prior to the Calamity - most likely, she hit her head pretty hard. She had black markings along her skin, and context clues have led her to believe that she was probably a Black Mage who tried to protect herself from the Calamity - if not try to help stop it - but that, obviously, something went very wrong with her magicks, and it blew up in her face (maybe literally). <br /> <br />
<br />
However, following the Calamity, Aya only knew that she wanted to keep anything like the Calamity from ever happening again. Knowing that this was dark magick at work, she decided to set her eyes on only the darkest types of knowledge - and to make sure that it could never hurt anybody again, as long as she could help it. She set about exploring Eorzea in search of such knowledge, eventually collecting the Miqo'te twins S'ami and W'khael Malkoh and helping them to learn about their own potent magicks. She has made many a friend along the way, and continues to do so. <br /> <br />
<br />
After a year or so of careful trading and diligent work, Aya saved up enough to by her and her cultist followers/friends/allies a medium manor house in Ul'dah - not conspicuously huge, but large enough to host travellers, hold her library, give S'ami room to practice her chemical experimentation, give W'khael room to practice his knifework, and still somehow fit a shark in the tank downstairs. She's named the 'hotel' 'Panda-Chan's Palace', in honor of the red panda that has been by her side since she awoke following the Calamity. Recently, she's been travelling between the Palace and a small cottage of exclusive witches/mages who live in the Black Shroud, who have an incredibly amount of wonderful stories to tell and spells to practice. <br /> <br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Aya is the opposite of many stoic-type archetypes, in that she's very - even overly - friendly with people she doesn't know. If it's your first Time meeting her, she'll either give off one or two auras: very withheld, or very peppy, to the point that every word is accompanied by a happy smile ((she's even been known to curl into a ball and roll down the staircase as a potato, before; no, they didn't kick me out, I was welcomed as I am)). She's probably one of the nicest black-magic-dabblers you'll ever find, actually. That being said, don't take her for naive - if you were to ask her about something deeper than flowers, or reveal some dark secret, you can trust her to be there for you. <br /><br />
<br />
Lately, after devoting more Time to studying beneficial magicks instead of harmful ones, Aya has become much calmer and more thoughtful. If you leave her to herself, she'll end up in her own thoughts in seconds, either watching others, or watching the stars. She enjoys the cold and the night, and as such, you'll often find her lying out in a field on a quiet night. <br /><br />

The two quickly became good friends as Sami helped Aya to better understand the layout of the land. Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea. Aya helps S'ami to experiment with conjury and alchemy, and gives her free reign of the Palace's workshops ((that totally exist somewhere that you guys just totally can't see.)). <br />

Of course, it was later revealed that W'khael was S'ami's long lost twin brother, because of course he was, which basically means that Aya collected the whole set! Yay! Aya and Khael have worked together to understand his telepathy, and, due to his ability to sense any and all moving aethers, she'll occasionally send him on reconnaissance missions, as he's able to notice living beings before they even get close to him. She's also given him training as a rogue - though, she's well aware that he would never actually hurt a little ladybug. <br />

<br />
==Appearance==<br />
S'ami is a young Miqo'te with lightly tanned skin, silvery-blue eyes, and russet hair that has been outlined with a fiery orange. She has markings that frame the sides of her face, and often wears very light make-up (and maybe a smoke smudge or seven). <br />
She can be seen in several different outfits depending on where she is, but most often wears a white coat with a purple skirt - when it's hot out, she can also been seen in black leather pants and a white tank top. She really enjoys wearing easily-smudged white - it shows off the day's current experimental explosion count. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
S'ami Malkoh had a relatively straightforward past until she reached the age of fourteen. Despite being an orphan, S'ami was raised by the S clan, and was a rather happy, bubbly child. A bit of a pyromaniac, S'ami's neverending search for anything and everything led her to be a thirster of knowledge, and a rather mischievous youth. Actions and reactions were her life, and, although she was aware of consequences, she would sneak away to play with magic and alchemy - or, at least, her experimental forms of them. She was known as the town sweetheart by some, and as a mischievous little devil by others. More than once, a bully found themselves running home with more than a few singed tailhairs. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
The calamity spelled disaster for S'ami and her clan, though, and left her separated from those who survived. Dazed, confused, and injured, S'ami holed up in a cavern, using her plant knowledge to heal her wounds slowly and as well as she could. She was able to heal herself completely, with perhaps only a few small scars to show for her troubles. During this Time, she also discovered an orphaned rat pup who was near death. She nursed him back to health, often feeding him before herself. <br /> <br />
<br />
Several days after the land calmed, S'ami was discovered by a young, silver-haired Hyur woman who had been caught in the blasts near there. She introduced herself as the mage Aya Numi, and helped S'ami and her new pet - Rata - get back onto their feet. Together, the two - three - of them travelled the newly-torn lands of Eorzea in search of knowledge of all types, though particularly pertaining to magical arts of dark nature. Not long after beginning their journeys, Aya expressed a desire to explore the darker sides of magic out of a want to protect others from them, and S'ami eagerly agreed. Aya taught S'ami, and helped her to acquire reagents for cunjury and alchemy - Aya didn't deem any knowledge not worth knowing (unless it would harm S'ami) and so, S'ami was finally able to explore her curiosity with a guiding hand. <br /> <br />
<br />
Maybe a month after Aya and S'ami began their travels, they tracked an aether signal, and came across another Miqo'te: the similarly fiery-haired W'khael, who had been living (barely) off of plants in the Black Shroud since getting trapped during the Calamity. W'khael and S'ami hit it off, and Aya brought him into the group. Not long after, though, an aetherial search revealed something: S'ami and W'khael, the two fiery-haired redheads with silvery-blue eyes and similar facial structures, were - gasp - twins. S'ami demanded that they return to the S Tribe to figure out what was going on, and, when they arrived, it was revealed that their mage parents had been killed in an aetherial fire of untold proportions. The two had been split up in the confusion, and, even when the S Tribe's Keeper at the Time realised what had happened, he decided that it would be best to keep the twins apart - too much Time had passed, and he believed it too late to reuinite them. Which is kind of sketchy, but that's okay. <br /> <br />
<br />
Regardless, after some heavy soul-searching, S'ami decided to stay with Aya and W'khael. The S Tribe didn't need her help to rebuild, so she went with her new friends. She and W'khael got along like a housefire - sorry - and were basically in sync two years later, when Aya made enough gil to buy a house in Ul'dah in which the three could reside and continue practicing their magics and experiments. S'ami was thrilled when Aya gifted her her own lab room in the house, in which she could practice her studies with safety. Although the manor house ended up being styled as a sort of hotel in which travellers could stay and share their stories, S'ami made her home in the (totally accessible and not at all made up) basement. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Sami is a very peppy, hyper, well-spoken Miqo'te with a penchant for conjury, summoning, and alchemy. She's often very friendly to anybody - anybody - who she meets, though a bit of careful attention would reveal that she's not so quick to trust anybody.<br /><br />
<br />
Sami has a great love for knowledge and, specifically, the summoning of carbuncles; she's likely to spend more Time talking to an arcanist's pet than the actual person. In fact, animals typically garner her interest very quickly, as does any part of nature itself.<br /><br />
<br />
Despite her happy-go-lucky nature, Sami isn't interested only in the power of friendship and love; if you were to bring up something regarding the dark arts, she'd be completely rapt, though it's obvious that she herself has no wish to dabble in such arts.<br /><br />
<br />
It should probably be noted that Sami his incredibly dyslexic when it comes to reading the Eorzean language. She can read it, but only with great help, and often requires help to read things that children would understand. The reason for this is, currently, unknown, though if you pester her about it, she'll probably just tell you outright. <br /><br />
<br />
Because of her never-ending search for knowledge, though, she's quick to disregard danger, so watch out; following her anywhere will often end in some sort of encounter, or at the very least, a few annoyed squirrels.<br />

The two quickly became good friends - or at least, Sami thought so - as Sami helped Aya to better understand the layout of the land. Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea... until an unforseen circumstance led to the young Miqo'te fleeing her friend in fear. Since then, Sami has not heard one word from the silver-haired young woman, and despite feigning sadness at the loss of such a friend, one could very easily catch the glimmer of relief in Sami's eyes if they were to ask about the woman's disappearance. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''(PC) [[W'khael Tia]]:''' Khael joined Aya Numi's travelling research group not very long after Sami did. As he was the exact same age as her - and, not to mention, also a Miqo'te - the two became uncannily good friends. Khael was very protective of the young girl, especially around anything that he deemed dangerous, and he was more than happy to assist her conjury training with his own personal training. Bearing the same eyes and russet fur as Sami, the two could easily have been mistaken for siblings, had they not been from different tribes. When he was lost during the Calamity, he was the only one over whom Sami legitimately cried. <br />

He is very defensive of her, and recently, he's become very tense, which was what first led Sami to believe that something wasn't quite right in the 81st's House.<br />

* Her ability to be charming to most people<br />

* Her protection spells; almost every event she's been to, she hasn't been hit a single Time, and has also been able to successfully protect other characters (who I may or may not have been NPCing). <br />
<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
* Her dislike of anything ''too'' strict <br />
* Her ability to follow orders only ''so'' well <br />
* Her penchant for wandering into danger in the pursuit of knowledge<br />
* Her innocent demeanor; she is not overly naive, but her hope that all people have good in them can easily lead her into dangerous situations<br />
* Her land magic; despite being a conjurer, stone spells are her weakest, though nobody really knows why (yet). <br />
* Dyslexia, when reading the Eorzean language. It's so severe that she might mistake a Danger sign for a Welcome sign.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion===<br />
Sami is not very religious herself, though a few questions would reveal that she very much believes in the existence of gods, as well as good and evil. She has no main patron deity who she prays to above all else. <br />
===Quirks===<br />
* If you have a pet, arcanima or otherwise, she'll probably greet it before she greets you. <br />
* She gets annoyed if somebody blatantly disregards nature, so watch out if you smash into something (She'll probably easily borrow a certain character's line of 'Don't step on the flowers!'). <br />
* Despite being mainly a conjurer, if you were to offer information about any sort of dark art, expect her to become immediately interested. She herself wouldn't dabble in such arts, but will lap up any information given on it. <br />
* She will often treat inanimate objects as living things - and non-sentient beings as sentient - whether or not they actually are/have ever been alive. This is a quirk she picked up from W'khael, who told her that all things have feelings. It isn't terribly pervasive, but it will often come up whenever she becomes a wallflower in a situation! So far, we've already had her ballroom dancing with her pet rat Rata, and fighting a Mist beach chair for dominance. <br />
* Don't ever accept cookies or brownies from her; you'll probably end up seeing unicorns. <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Sami from:<br />
<br />
* The Coffer and Coffin<br />
* Anywhere around Drybone (both the Camp and the area) <br />
* Ul'dah, and particularly The Quicksand (what better place to find new stories?) <br />
* The Drunken Pumpkin (a bar in the Lavender Beds that belongs to the Aether Circle Coven - Ward 7 Plot 49!) <br />

==Appearance==<br />
Khael sports somewhat-tanned skin, silver eyes, and fiery hair that's been streaked with a burnt orange. He's rather tall, and tends to wear any clothing that's non-restrictive. He rarely carries any visible weapons, but always seems to be able to pull a knife or small pistol from sheer air. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious and callous nature from early on - to observers, at least. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this, and training to become a hunter. He was raised by his tribe until he was fourteen, and, when Dalamud first reddened the sky, he was off 'hunting'. <br /><br />
<br />
Except, he wasn't hunting, and that wasn't something that he would have said in the past. Rather, Khael, despite putting on a callous demeanor, actually has one of the sweetest hearts you'd ever find - hurting anything is beyond him. So, after getting into an argument with his adoptive parents about this, he went out on a 'hunt' to find and pet as many animals in the Black Shroud as he could. <br /> <br />
<br />
And then, freakin' Bahamut ruined everybody's funtimes, like a big ol' scaly lizard nerd. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
When the Calamity hit, Khael was knocked unconscious by the gods' forsaken overflow of aether. For the next few weeks after waking up, he spent his days like a literal ghost, drifting around the Black Shroud and barely even being conscious enough to be reminded to pick a berry every now and then. The aether of the Calamity flooded his system with constant pain and voices, only finally starting to dull after maybe a month of him walking around in a near-catatonic (CAT-ataonic) fugue state. <br /> <br />
<br />
Luckily for Khael, a month was all it took for the travellers Aya Numi and S'ami to find him and basically slap him back into some sort of consciousness. Aya and S'ami revealed that they were wandering mages, learning about the planet in the days following the Calamity to protect people from the Darkness that now swarmed the land. Aya promised that they would try to figure out how to dull the Calamity's pain if he came with them, and so, he did, and they travelled Eorzea in search of any knowledge that might come their way. Their mission became knowledge for the sake of knowledge, and the darker the magic involved the better. As they went, Aya taught Khael to defend himself with knives that he learned to imbue using his unique aether, and S'ami taught him a wicked sort of cleverness that he took to particularly quickly. When it was revealed that S'ami was actually his twin sister, their similar personalities only made that much more sense. He accompanied her back to her tribe so that they could understand why the two were separated - when it was revealed that their parents had died in an aetherial fire, Khael was struck low, but he tried to keep a pep in his step. <br /> <br />
<br />
Now that Aya, S'ami, and W'khael have acquired a house in Ul'dah, Khael has begun to become more aware of his almost telepathic reality. Aya operates their house as a sort of temporary hotel for travellers and adventurers, and Khael has learned to take on one aether at a Time. He doesn't quite know why S'ami was gifted with fiery brilliance and a knowledge of languages, and he doesn't know why he was gifted with a strange sort of aetherial telepathy, but he's started to become more comfortable with the aethers that he feels - in small doses, of course. He can understand the history of an object, which has led to him being a careful handler of enchantments - he's been known to deftly juggle Rank VIII materia because he handles it so well. For now, he's content to read, study, practice his knifework in the shadows, and laze around under the warm Ul'dah sun like the kitty he is. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
To someone he first meets, Khael will come across one of three ways: very flirtatious, very peppy, or very devious. All three are part of his base personality, of course. <br /><br />
<br />
Though it may not be obvious when first meeting him, Khael's personality will change depending on his location, his surroundings, and who else is in the room, as threads of all personalities and histories will begin unintentionally bleeding into his own. This is mostly muted whenever he's in the presence of someone he's close to, however; currently, this is only S'ami.<br /><br />
<br />
If you get to know Khael, and he is more comfortable around you - or you catch him unawares and he has no Time to switch into a peppy attitude - you'll find that he's actually a very calm individual. <br /><br />
<br />
Despite this, Khael is still caring; if an ally is in trouble, he'll rush to their aid with very little second thought. <br /><br />
<br />
In most occasions, you'll more than likely catch Khael in a flirtatious mood. He isn't as bad as some people - SPARROW - but he's a bit shameless in his comments and innuendos. He doesn't mean to offend, of course, and he'll always back off if he can tell that the other party is uncomfortable. <br />

<br />
==Appearance==<br />
S'ami is a young Miqo'te with lightly tanned skin, silvery-blue eyes, and russet hair that has been outlined with a fiery orange. She has markings that frame the sides of her face, and often wears very light make-up (and maybe a smoke smudge or seven). <br />
She can be seen in several different outfits depending on where she is, but most often wears a white coat with a purple skirt - when it's hot out, she can also been seen in black leather pants and a white tank top. She really enjoys wearing easily-smudged white - it shows off the day's current experimental explosion count. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
S'ami Malkoh had a relatively straightforward past until she reached the age of fourteen. Despite being an orphan, S'ami was raised by the S clan, and was a rather happy, bubbly child. A bit of a pyromaniac, S'ami's neverending search for anything and everything led her to be a thirster of knowledge, and a rather mischievous youth. Actions and reactions were her life, and, although she was aware of consequences, she would sneak away to play with magic and alchemy - or, at least, her experimental forms of them. She was known as the town sweetheart by some, and as a mischievous little devil by others. More than once, a bully found themselves running home with more than a few singed tailhairs. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
The calamity spelled disaster for S'ami and her clan, though, and left her separated from those who survived. Dazed, confused, and injured, S'ami holed up in a cavern, using her plant knowledge to heal her wounds slowly and as well as she could. She was able to heal herself completely, with perhaps only a few small scars to show for her troubles. During this Time, she also discovered an orphaned rat pup who was near death. She nursed him back to health, often feeding him before herself. <br /> <br />
<br />
Several days after the land calmed, S'ami was discovered by a young, silver-haired Hyur woman who had been caught in the blasts near there. She introduced herself as the mage Aya Numi, and helped S'ami and her new pet - Rata - get back onto their feet. Together, the two - three - of them travelled the newly-torn lands of Eorzea in search of knowledge of all types, though particularly pertaining to magical arts of dark nature. Not long after beginning their journeys, Aya expressed a desire to explore the darker sides of magic out of a want to protect others from them, and S'ami eagerly agreed. Aya taught S'ami, and helped her to acquire reagents for cunjury and alchemy - Aya didn't deem any knowledge not worth knowing (unless it would harm S'ami) and so, S'ami was finally able to explore her curiosity with a guiding hand. <br /> <br />
<br />
Maybe a month after Aya and S'ami began their travels, they tracked an aether signal, and came across another Miqo'te: the similarly fiery-haired W'khael, who had been living (barely) off of plants in the Black Shroud since getting trapped during the Calamity. W'khael and S'ami hit it off, and Aya brought him into the group. Not long after, though, an aetherial search revealed something: S'ami and W'khael, the two fiery-haired redheads with silvery-blue eyes and similar facial structures, were - gasp - twins. S'ami demanded that they return to the S Tribe to figure out what was going on, and, when they arrived, it was revealed that their mage parents had been killed in an aetherial fire of untold proportions. The two had been split up in the confusion, and, even when the S Tribe's Keeper at the Time realised what had happened, he decided that it would be best to keep the twins apart - too much Time had passed, and he believed it too late to reuinite them. Which is kind of sketchy, but that's okay. <br /> <br />
<br />
Regardless, after some heavy soul-searching, S'ami decided to stay with Aya and W'khael. The S Tribe didn't need her help to rebuild, so she went with her new friends. She and W'khael got along like a housefire - sorry - and were basically in sync two years later, when Aya made enough gil to buy a house in Ul'dah in which the three could reside and continue practicing their magics and experiments. S'ami was thrilled when Aya gifted her her own lab room in the house, in which she could practice her studies with safety. Although the manor house ended up being styled as a sort of hotel in which travellers could stay and share their stories, S'ami made her home in the (totally accessible and not at all made up) basement. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Sami is a very peppy, hyper, well-spoken Miqo'te with a penchant for conjury, summoning, and alchemy. She's often very friendly to anybody - anybody - who she meets, though a bit of careful attention would reveal that she's not so quick to trust anybody.<br /><br />
<br />
Sami has a great love for knowledge and, specifically, the summoning of carbuncles; she's likely to spend more Time talking to an arcanist's pet than the actual person. In fact, animals typically garner her interest very quickly, as does any part of nature itself.<br /><br />
<br />
Despite her happy-go-lucky nature, Sami isn't interested only in the power of friendship and love; if you were to bring up something regarding the dark arts, she'd be completely rapt, though it's obvious that she herself has no wish to dabble in such arts.<br /><br />
<br />
It should probably be noted that Sami his incredibly dyslexic when it comes to reading the Eorzean language. She can read it, but only with great help, and often requires help to read things that children would understand. The reason for this is, currently, unknown, though if you pester her about it, she'll probably just tell you outright. <br /><br />
<br />
Because of her never-ending search for knowledge, though, she's quick to disregard danger, so watch out; following her anywhere will often end in some sort of encounter, or at the very least, a few annoyed squirrels.<br />

*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''(PC) [[Aya Numi]]:''' At the age of 10, Sami first met the magenta-eyed scholar Aya Numi. The two quickly became good friends - or at least, Sami thought so - as Sami helped Aya to better understand the layout of the land. Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea... until an unforseen circumstance led to the young Miqo'te fleeing her friend in fear. Since then, Sami has not heard one word from the silver-haired young woman, and despite feigning sadness at the loss of such a friend, one could very easily catch the glimmer of relief in Sami's eyes if they were to ask about the woman's disappearance. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''(PC) [[W'khael Tia]]:''' Khael joined Aya Numi's travelling research group not very long after Sami did. As he was the exact same age as her - and, not to mention, also a Miqo'te - the two became uncannily good friends. Khael was very protective of the young girl, especially around anything that he deemed dangerous, and he was more than happy to assist her conjury training with his own personal training. Bearing the same eyes and russet fur as Sami, the two could easily have been mistaken for siblings, had they not been from different tribes. When he was lost during the Calamity, he was the only one over whom Sami legitimately cried. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''(Non-PC) Agian:''' A thaumaturge of unknown power, Agian's past is just as much a mystery as Aya's. Bearing a strikingly similar color of silver hair to the woman, however, Sami had always assumed the two to be related. Agian always seemed to be bothered by Sami's presence, though he tolerated her... until Aya accepted her into the group. He then treated her as though she wasn't really there, though her innocence did seem to break through to him on one or two occasions, as he would occasionally step in to correct her conjury forms. His whereabouts and status are, as with Aya and W'khael, unknown, and he is assumed to be deceased. ((And before you ask, yes, his name stems from the mistyping of the word 'again', but we're going to ignore that.)) <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''Rata:''' Rata is Sami's pet rat! His full name is unknown. He will follow Sami around to most places, and is her partner in crime, ever since she rescued him after the Calamity and nursed him back to health. He is very defensive of her, and recently, he's become very tense, which was what first led Sami to believe that something wasn't quite right in the 81st's House. <br />
<br />
==Characteristics==<br />
* '''Nicknames''': Sami Molkoh<br />
* '''Age''': 19<br />
** '''Nameday''': 27th Sun of the Third Umbral Moon <br />
* '''Gender''': Female<br />
** '''Sexuality''': Pansexual <br />
* '''Alignment''': Chaotic Good <br />

* '''Eyes''': Silvery blue<br />
* '''Skin''': Light tan; despite residing dominantly in Thanalan, she is indoors 99% of the Time. <br />
* '''Clothing''': Her style changes based on her surroundings, but you'll often catch her in a white top with black leather pants or a white suit-type coat.<br />
<br />
===Likes===<br />
* Animals <br />
* Nature <br />
* Knowledge <br />
* Friendly people <br />
* Arcanima <br />
* Honesty, above all else <br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
* Dishonesty <br />
* People who talk down to her <br />
* Anyone/thing that hurts nature <br />
* Overly strict commands/rules <br />
* Those who indulge in the Darkness <br />
* Yarzons, oh gods why do those exist <br />
<br />
===Strengths===<br />
* Her conjury<br />
* Her use of arcanima<br />
* Her knowledge <br />
* Her ability to be charming to most people<br />
* Her very approachable demeanor<br />
* Her protection spells; almost every event she's been to, she hasn't been hit a single Time, and has also been able to successfully protect other characters (who I may or may not have been NPCing). <br />
<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
* Her dislike of anything ''too'' strict <br />
* Her ability to follow orders only ''so'' well <br />
* Her penchant for wandering into danger in the pursuit of knowledge<br />
* Her innocent demeanor; she is not overly naive, but her hope that all people have good in them can easily lead her into dangerous situations<br />
* Her land magic; despite being a conjurer, stone spells are her weakest, though nobody really knows why (yet). <br />
* Dyslexia, when reading the Eorzean language. It's so severe that she might mistake a Danger sign for a Welcome sign.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion===<br />
Sami is not very religious herself, though a few questions would reveal that she very much believes in the existence of gods, as well as good and evil. She has no main patron deity who she prays to above all else. <br />
===Quirks===<br />
* If you have a pet, arcanima or otherwise, she'll probably greet it before she greets you. <br />
* She gets annoyed if somebody blatantly disregards nature, so watch out if you smash into something (She'll probably easily borrow a certain character's line of 'Don't step on the flowers!'). <br />
* Despite being mainly a conjurer, if you were to offer information about any sort of dark art, expect her to become immediately interested. She herself wouldn't dabble in such arts, but will lap up any information given on it. <br />
* She will often treat inanimate objects as living things - and non-sentient beings as sentient - whether or not they actually are/have ever been alive. This is a quirk she picked up from W'khael, who told her that all things have feelings. It isn't terribly pervasive, but it will often come up whenever she becomes a wallflower in a situation! So far, we've already had her ballroom dancing with her pet rat Rata, and fighting a Mist beach chair for dominance. <br />
* Don't ever accept cookies or brownies from her; you'll probably end up seeing unicorns. <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Sami from:<br />
<br />
* The Coffer and Coffin<br />
* Anywhere around Drybone (both the Camp and the area) <br />
* Ul'dah, and particularly The Quicksand (what better place to find new stories?) <br />
* The Drunken Pumpkin (a bar in the Lavender Beds that belongs to the Aether Circle Coven - Ward 7 Plot 49!) <br />

S'ami is a young Miqo'te with lightly tanned skin, silvery-blue eyes, and russet hair that has been outlined with a fiery orange. She has markings that frame the sides of her face, and often wears very light make-up (and maybe a smoke smudge or seven). <br />
She can be seen in several different outfits depending on where she is, but most often wears a white coat with a purple skirt - when it's hot out, she can also been seen in black leather pants and a white tank top. She really enjoys wearing easily-smudged white - it shows off the day's current experimental explosion count. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
S'ami Malkoh had a relatively straightforward past until she reached the age of fourteen. Despite being an orphan, S'ami was raised by the S clan, and was a rather happy, bubbly child. A bit of a pyromaniac, S'ami's neverending search for anything and everything led her to be a thirster of knowledge, and a rather mischievous youth. Actions and reactions were her life, and, although she was aware of consequences, she would sneak away to play with magic and alchemy - or, at least, her experimental forms of them. She was known as the town sweetheart by some, and as a mischievous little devil by others. More than once, a bully found themselves running home with more than a few singed tailhairs. <br /> <br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
The calamity spelled disaster for S'ami and her clan, though, and left her separated from those who survived. Dazed, confused, and injured, S'ami holed up in a cavern, using her plant knowledge to heal her wounds slowly and as well as she could. She was able to heal herself completely, with perhaps only a few small scars to show for her troubles. During this Time, she also discovered an orphaned rat pup who was near death. She nursed him back to health, often feeding him before herself. <br /> <br />
<br />
Several days after the land calmed, S'ami was discovered by a young, silver-haired Hyur woman who had been caught in the blasts near there. She introduced herself as the mage Aya Numi, and helped S'ami and her new pet - Rata - get back onto their feet. Together, the two - three - of them travelled the newly-torn lands of Eorzea in search of knowledge of all types, though particularly pertaining to magical arts of dark nature. Not long after beginning their journeys, Aya expressed a desire to explore the darker sides of magic out of a want to protect others from them, and S'ami eagerly agreed. Aya taught S'ami, and helped her to acquire reagents for cunjury and alchemy - Aya didn't deem any knowledge not worth knowing (unless it would harm S'ami) and so, S'ami was finally able to explore her curiosity with a guiding hand. <br /> <br />
<br />
Maybe a month after Aya and S'ami began their travels, they tracked an aether signal, and came across another Miqo'te: the similarly fiery-haired W'khael, who had been living (barely) off of plants in the Black Shroud since getting trapped during the Calamity. W'khael and S'ami hit it off, and Aya brought him into the group. Not long after, though, an aetherial search revealed something: S'ami and W'khael, the two fiery-haired redheads with silvery-blue eyes and similar facial structures, were - gasp - twins. S'ami demanded that they return to the S Tribe to figure out what was going on, and, when they arrived, it was revealed that their mage parents had been killed in an aetherial fire of untold proportions. The two had been split up in the confusion, and, even when the S Tribe's Keeper at the Time realised what had happened, he decided that it would be best to keep the twins apart - too much Time had passed, and he believed it too late to reuinite them. Which is kind of sketchy, but that's okay. <br /> <br />
<br />
Regardless, after some heavy soul-searching, S'ami decided to stay with Aya and W'khael. The S Tribe didn't need her help to rebuild, so she went with her new friends. She and W'khael got along like a housefire - sorry - and were basically in sync two years later, when Aya made enough gil to buy a house in Ul'dah in which the three could reside and continue practicing their magics and experiments. S'ami was thrilled when Aya gifted her her own lab room in the house, in which she could practice her studies with safety. Although the manor house ended up being styled as a sort of hotel in which travellers could stay and share their stories, S'ami made her home in the (totally accessible and not at all made up) basement. <br /> <br />

<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Sami is a very peppy, hyper, well-spoken Miqo'te with a penchant for conjury, summoning, and alchemy. She's often very friendly to anybody - anybody - who she meets, though a bit of careful attention would reveal that she's not so quick to trust anybody.<br /><br />
<br />
Sami has a great love for knowledge and, specifically, the summoning of carbuncles; she's likely to spend more Time talking to an arcanist's pet than the actual person. In fact, animals typically garner her interest very quickly, as does any part of nature itself.<br /><br />
<br />
Despite her happy-go-lucky nature, Sami isn't interested only in the power of friendship and love; if you were to bring up something regarding the dark arts, she'd be completely rapt, though it's obvious that she herself has no wish to dabble in such arts.<br /><br />
<br />
It should probably be noted that Sami his incredibly dyslexic when it comes to reading the Eorzean language. She can read it, but only with great help, and often requires help to read things that children would understand. The reason for this is, currently, unknown, though if you pester her about it, she'll probably just tell you outright. <br /><br />
<br />
Because of her never-ending search for knowledge, though, she's quick to disregard danger, so watch out; following her anywhere will often end in some sort of encounter, or at the very least, a few annoyed squirrels.<br />

*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''(PC) [[Aya Numi]]:''' At the age of 10, Sami first met the magenta-eyed scholar Aya Numi. The two quickly became good friends - or at least, Sami thought so - as Sami helped Aya to better understand the layout of the land. Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea... until an unforseen circumstance led to the young Miqo'te fleeing her friend in fear. Since then, Sami has not heard one word from the silver-haired young woman, and despite feigning sadness at the loss of such a friend, one could very easily catch the glimmer of relief in Sami's eyes if they were to ask about the woman's disappearance. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''(PC) [[W'khael Tia]]:''' Khael joined Aya Numi's travelling research group not very long after Sami did. As he was the exact same age as her - and, not to mention, also a Miqo'te - the two became uncannily good friends. Khael was very protective of the young girl, especially around anything that he deemed dangerous, and he was more than happy to assist her conjury training with his own personal training. Bearing the same eyes and russet fur as Sami, the two could easily have been mistaken for siblings, had they not been from different tribes. When he was lost during the Calamity, he was the only one over whom Sami legitimately cried. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''(Non-PC) Agian:''' A thaumaturge of unknown power, Agian's past is just as much a mystery as Aya's. Bearing a strikingly similar color of silver hair to the woman, however, Sami had always assumed the two to be related. Agian always seemed to be bothered by Sami's presence, though he tolerated her... until Aya accepted her into the group. He then treated her as though she wasn't really there, though her innocence did seem to break through to him on one or two occasions, as he would occasionally step in to correct her conjury forms. His whereabouts and status are, as with Aya and W'khael, unknown, and he is assumed to be deceased. ((And before you ask, yes, his name stems from the mistyping of the word 'again', but we're going to ignore that.)) <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''Rata:''' Rata is Sami's pet rat! His full name is unknown. He will follow Sami around to most places, and is her partner in crime, ever since she rescued him after the Calamity and nursed him back to health. He is very defensive of her, and recently, he's become very tense, which was what first led Sami to believe that something wasn't quite right in the 81st's House. <br />

* Overly strict commands/rules <br />
* Those who indulge in the Darkness <br />

<br />
===Strengths===<br />
* Her conjury<br />
* Her use of arcanima<br />
* Her knowledge <br />
* Her ability to be charming to most people<br />
* Her very approachable demeanor<br />
* Her protection spells; almost every event she's been to, she hasn't been hit a single Time, and has also been able to successfully protect other characters (who I may or may not have been NPCing). <br />
<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
* Her dislike of anything ''too'' strict <br />
* Her ability to follow orders only ''so'' well <br />
* Her penchant for wandering into danger in the pursuit of knowledge<br />
* Her innocent demeanor; she is not overly naive, but her hope that all people have good in them can easily lead her into dangerous situations<br />
* Her land magic; despite being a conjurer, stone spells are her weakest, though nobody really knows why (yet). <br />
* Dyslexia, when reading the Eorzean language. It's so severe that she might mistake a Danger sign for a Welcome sign.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion===<br />
Sami is not very religious herself, though a few questions would reveal that she very much believes in the existence of gods, as well as good and evil. She has no main patron deity who she prays to above all else. <br />
===Quirks===<br />
* If you have a pet, arcanima or otherwise, she'll probably greet it before she greets you. <br />
* She gets annoyed if somebody blatantly disregards nature, so watch out if you smash into something (She'll probably easily borrow a certain character's line of 'Don't step on the flowers!'). <br />
* Despite being mainly a conjurer, if you were to offer information about any sort of dark art, expect her to become immediately interested. She herself wouldn't dabble in such arts, but will lap up any information given on it. <br />
* She will often treat inanimate objects as living things - and non-sentient beings as sentient - whether or not they actually are/have ever been alive. This is a quirk she picked up from W'khael, who told her that all things have feelings. It isn't terribly pervasive, but it will often come up whenever she becomes a wallflower in a situation! So far, we've already had her ballroom dancing with her pet rat Rata, and fighting a Mist beach chair for dominance. <br />
* Don't ever accept cookies or brownies from her; you'll probably end up seeing unicorns. <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Sami from:<br />
<br />
* The Coffer and Coffin<br />
* Anywhere around Drybone (both the Camp and the area) <br />
* Ul'dah, and particularly The Quicksand (what better place to find new stories?) <br />
* The Drunken Pumpkin (a bar in the Lavender Beds that belongs to the Aether Circle Coven - Ward 7 Plot 49!) <br />

<center>'''''If you roleplay with Sami Molkoh, there are spoilers below!!'''''</center><br /><br />
==Appearance==<br />
Khael sports somewhat-tanned skin, silver eyes, and fiery hair that's been streaked with a burnt orange. He's rather tall, and tends to wear any clothing that's non-restrictive. He rarely carries any visible weapons, but always seems to be able to pull a knife or small pistol from sheer air. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious and callous nature from early on. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this, and training to become a hunter. He was raised by his tribe until he was about fifteen, at which point he was recruited by the travelling scholar Aya Numi and her companions, Agian and S'ami Malkoh. The fact that the female miqo'te is a Keeper confused him, though, because of her name, but he just assumed that it was an unusual naming convention, so he brushed it off. He left with the group when they departed, enamored with their research and hoping to learn a thing or two from the group, despite the fact that he's too afraid of using magick to ever dabble in it. The group seemed interested in him, but S'ami, more than anyone, had her curiosity piqued by him.<br /><br />
<br />
Sure enough, the group helped Khael further his melee abilities, most specifically with knives. Aya was careful about how much she taught him, but by the coming of the Calamity, he was a master of some pretty fancy knife-work. Aya also taught him to use guns, which he found much easier to use than typical bows. <br /><br />
<br />
Of course, then came the Calamity. Khael had been busy reading when he first noticed Dalamud, and he'd immediately run off to find the others. He found S'ami first, but she'd only given him a wild look and run away. Confused, he kept searching, this Time finding Aya and Agian. Moments later, he'd found himself unconscious, which he only realized when he woke up in a small cavern not too far from where they'd previously been. To his surprise, the landscape had been torn asunder by the Calamity, yet the three scholars were unharmed. Sami was nowhere to be found, though. <br /><br />
<br />
Khael tried desperately searching for his friend all throughout Thanalan, but largely came up empty. Finally, he turned to Aya and Agian for help, telling them that the girl had seemed genuinely terrified, and probably wouldn't be able to survive for long without them... if, of course, she had survived Dalamud's Fall in the first place. That, though, was when Aya revealed something to him: {{redacted}} <!-- S'ami had betrayed them. Aya told Khael about how she and Agian had seen the young girl consorting with an agent of the Darkness, and when she had noticed them, she'd attacked, promptly running off. Aya had no doubt that Sami had survived, but that she wouldn't be so easily found. Khael was crushed by the news, of course, but accepted it. Aya then told Khael something else: S'ami was his twin sister, and the scholars had hoped that bringing the two of them together would bring good, rather than the evil it had actually wrought. --> <br /><br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
Absolutely crushed - figuratively, you understand - Khael had no real choice but to continue following Aya and Agian. Before long, the three had formed a group of researchers known as the KLK, who currently have a rather secret and unnoticeable manor in The Goblet. The three are the group's head, though, and known much more than other members of the society.<br /><br />
<br />
Since the Calamity, Khael has learned more than some fancy bladework; Aya has been teaching him the benefits of staying hidden, to the point that he can be a ghost in both empty and crowded rooms. He's become an expert in stealthy bladework and gunplay, though very rarely has any use for it besides sparring with Aya, Agian, or one of the other scholars. Other than training, he typically spends his Time studying. <br /><br />
<br />
The more knowledge and life Khael is surrounded by, though, the more callous his personality gets, as so much information starts to flood him. The reasons why are yet to be revealed, but it's likely that it's not a natural sort of problem. He has tried controlling this influx of information, but is unable to block it out, leading to him staying away from most other people save for Aya and Agian. In fact, most of the other scholars don't even know of his existence. <br /><br />
<br />
With the (somewhat forceful) aid of Agian (after the albino had a hypothesis about how Khael's abilities worked, and gods above and below know there's no stopping him when he has a hypothesis), though, Khael has discovered that the closer he is with someone - physically or emotionally - the more overpowering their aura is to him. This has somewhat altered his views and goals, as he very often wants nothing more in life than to get the feelings around him to stop... whatever that may take. <br /><br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
In exchange for his part of aiding Agian's studies, the albino offered up a piece of information to the miqo'te: they know S'ami's whereabouts. Not long after this, Aya revealed to him that she doesn't mind him knowing, nor does she mind him going to aid S'ami... so long as he doesn't reveal himself to her, exactly. Knowing what Aya told him about S'ami's actions just prior to the Calamity, Khael is tentative at first. However, he gives in to his overpowering curiosity, eventually going and watching from afar for a while. After seeing S'ami pledge herself to a cause with little regards to her own safety, though, he holds out hope that she has come to her senses, and that she now wishes to aid others without the help of dark Void magicks. How delightful! <br /><br />
<br />
Deciding that S'ami is not beyond morally saving, Khael has decided to help her. He had Aya craft a staff specifically for her, and while he's not always sure of Aya's intentions, one thing he does know is that she's always willing to help her disciples (she'd already given the Miqo'te conjurer a White Mage's soulstone; what more was a staff to suit her power?). Still, knowing he can't be revealed, he leaves the staff for S'ami to find and use on her own. For now, he's content merely to watch from the shadows - and on the top of bookshelves, or underneath all of her paperwork. He has recently begun reading S'ami's research when she's away or asleep, though he has a bit of a hard Time reading that which she writes in languages he doesn't understand. He uncovers and deciphers what he can, though, and has been absolutely amazed by her progress. <br /> <br />
<br />
After heading back to the Goblet from a stalking, Khael was, unfortunately, stopped by a group of Barracudas (the soldiers, not the fish, I hope!). They accused him of... well, just being a generally all-around shady person, really. After some discussion back and forth, though, one of them, a Miqo'te by the name of Renia Folmah, decided to let him off with a warning, feeling that their accusations were as baseless as they totally were. Not long after this, on her way home from work, she was being harassed by several of the other Barracudas. Khael, being nearby, stepped in. Ever since then, the two have run into each other several Times, and have been aiding each other with various troubles and tribulations. <br /><br />
<br />
Not too long ago, Khael made the mistake of tripping down the 81st's staircase during one of their orientations. Pretending to have been there on purpose, he posed as a potential candidate, which led to him accidentally joining the Free Company's ranks. Whoops? <br /> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
To someone he first meets, Khael will come across one of three ways: very flirtatious, very peppy, or very devious. All three are part of his base personality, of course. <br /><br />
<br />
Though it may not be obvious when first meeting him, Khael's personality will change depending on his location, his surroundings, and who else is in the room, as threads of all personalities and histories will begin unintentionally bleeding into his own. This is mostly muted whenever he's in the presence of someone he's close to, however; currently, this is only S'ami.<br /><br />
<br />
If you get to know Khael, and he is more comfortable around you - or you catch him unawares and he has no Time to switch into a peppy attitude - you'll find that he's actually a very callous individual. Having no idea if his feelings and emotions belong to him or his surroundings, he's learned to ignore all of them so that they don't ever get him into trouble. <br /><br />
<br />
Despite this, Khael is still caring; if an ally is in trouble, he'll rush to their aid with very little second thought. This is more of a subconscious response than an emotional one, but probably stems from ignored guilt he carried from thinking that S'ami died/ran away from him being unable to stop her.<br /><br />
<br />
In most occasions, you'll more than likely catch Khael in a flirtatious mood. He isn't as bad as some people - SPARROW - but he's a bit shameless in his comments and innuendos. He doesn't mean to offend, but there's no real point in trying to shake him off; he won't actually ever act on his flirtations unless the other party makes the first move. <br />

He's been travelling with her basically ever since, and she's a mentor and master to him. Despite being somewhat afraid of her, he also greatly respects her. He's become aware that she's not quite a normal Scholar, but he's not exactly about to ask her about it... Regardless, he's almost always going to be reporting back to her, whenever anything interesting happens. <br />

Though Agian had been somewhat curt with S'ami, this is nothing compared to how cold and forceful he is towards Khael, though it's probably one of those stereotypical attempts to make him stronger, or something. Regardless, whenever Agian has a theory that requires testing, 11/10 Times, he'll force Khael to be his guinea catte. This has resulted in at least one occasion of Khael being forced to do some things that he'd rather not talk about, though Agian sees nothing wrong with it in the slightest. After all, it's just research, right...? <br />

She's the only one currently able to cancel out his empathy, and now that he knows just who she is, he feels even more protective of her. He's currently, of course, stalking her and basically convincing her that he's a ghost, but we're going to ignore that for now. <br />

Ever since, they've been running into each other on their various trips, and Khael has become very... intrigued by her, to say the least! Of course, she has yet to return his flirting, but that doesn't mean he won't keep trying! <br />

* His dramatic irony, at the moment!<br />
<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
* He can't tell his emotions from others<br />
* He's borderline schizophrenic at Times<br />
* He can't be in crowded rooms; too many personalities ''will'' overwhelm him, leaving him practically useless in wars/crowds <br />
<br />
==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion===<br />
Khael isn't very religious himself after being around Agian and Aya for so long. He believes in other planets outside of their own, however, and will never chastise anyone for their beliefs, though he may playfully taunt them. <br />
===Quirks===<br />
* Seeing the history/emotions tied to many objects often leaves him unable to, not only differentiate between their emotions and his own, but also to occasionally be unable to tell the difference between living things and inanimate objects.<br />
* He'll pretend to be a ghost, because A: his aura is confusing to conjurers/mages, and B: he's good at hiding. Like... ''really'' good. <br />
* He's ''very'' flirtatious - with both males and females - and will often act masochistic if you return his banter for long enough. It's all fun and games, of course! ...Probably. <br />
* He'll often get into fights with inanimate objects. <br />
* He'll often get into conversations with inanimate objects. <br />
* He talks to the walls, guys. <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
Nowhere, currently. ((I haven't been on him in months!)) <br />

<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Aya holds the appearance of a Hyuran woman no older than perhaps her early twenties. Despite this fact, her hair is silver, typically kept either shoulder-length or long. Her eyes would be described as a stark magenta. She also bears pale skin, and black tribal-like markings on her shoulders, down her back, and down her sides. You know... when you can see those features, I guess. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>{{redacted}}</center><br /><br />
Around two years after her arrival in Eorzea (eight years prior to the Calamity), Aya and her companion (a thaumaturge by the name of Agian) began making a name for themselves in some of the more hush hush knowledge circles around Eorzea. They sought knowledge of the realm, and were obviously not from Eorzea itself, though their accents weren't recognizable as some of the more common realms around Hydaelyn. This led quickly to rumors that they were Sharlayan scholars, which they never refuted nor supported. <br /><br />
<br />
Before long, the two silver-haired magic users found their way to the home of the S tribe. They surveyed the land on their own for a while, but before long, Aya decided to recruit another into their group, much to Agian's annoyance. So, knowing full well her story, Aya recruited the 'help' of the young Miqo'te S'ami. The peppy young girl was more than ecstatic to aid Aya's fieldwork, and not long after such fieldwork was completed, the young girl begged to be brought along. Agian was obviously displeased when Aya agreed to bring her along (but he's just an NPC, so he never gets his way). Regardless, he eventually agreed with reluctance, and so the trio continued their journeys. Both Aya and Agian helped the Miqo'te learn conjury, while Aya gave her a silk scarf bearing the soul of a White Mage to help her training along. <br /><br />
<br />
During the next year, Aya followed several aetheric traces, and soon found another Miqo'te to add to her collection, the young boy W'khael. Despite being of a different tribe, he bore a startling resemblance to S'ami, and the two quickly hit it off. Aya allowed him, too, into the group, and began training him as a rogue. <br /><br />
<br />
<center> {{redacted}} </center><br /><br />
{{Spoiler|Sami/Khael's group, if you roleplay with either of them}} <br />
After the Calamity, Aya decided to let S'ami run until she got a hold of her own bearings; she knew that the Miqo'te was alive, and that being alone would greatly increase her powers in conjury, so the scholar turned her attention back to the two who yet stayed with her. <br /> <br />
<br />
Not willing to tell the young W'khael what had ''actually'' happened with his friend, Aya told him that S'ami had disappeared, and that, while she didn't assume her to be dead, they couldn't assume that she was alive. Instead, she told him, it would be best for the three of them to figure out their own placement in this newly terraformed realm. Reluctantly, he agreed, which led them to continue travelling about, intertwining with several well-known NPCs. <br /><br />
<br />
Eventually, Aya enraptured more of a following. She made her presence known only in key places, and eventually made her way through the ranks of a scholar society known as the KLK. Before long, she had wormed her way to the top, with her two previous companions by her side, along with many new ones to support her. The group held an inconspicuous manor in The Goblet and traveled the realm, consolidating knowledge and keeping it close to their own chests. Aya made certain to keep the group rather hidden from outside sources, but their name bore tremendous weight whenever they wanted something. <br /> <br />
<br />
((And then, uh... I transferred realms, and passed off fc-leadership, so...)) <br /><br />
<br />
Due to the problems faced in Ishgard, Aya took Agian and W'khael, left leadership of the KLK to a trusted follower, and went to the snowy city that had finally opened its gates. Eventually, after hearing tell of S'ami's placement with a group of mercenaries, she sent W'khael after her, and it became just her and Agian again. While in Ishgard, Aya found practitioners of Sharlayan astrology, and although she'd long since favored more powerful magicks, her love of the stars eventually led to her re-studying the controversial techniques. <br /> <br />
<br />
Recently, she's been devoting more and more of her Time to studying magic, enamored with how the work of Scholars and Astrologians can be used to heal ''and'' harm. Chances are, if you run into her, she'll be gazing up at the stars, with a book nearby... <br /><br />
<br />
{{end-spoiler}}<br />
==Personality==<br />
Aya is the opposite of many stoic-type archetypes, in that she's very - even overly - friendly with people she doesn't know. If it's your first Time meeting her, she'll either give off one or two auras: very withheld, or very peppy, to the point that every word is accompanied by a happy smile ((she's even been known to curl into a ball and roll down the staircase as a potato, before; no, they didn't kick me out, I was welcomed as I am)). <br /><br />
<br />
Lately, after devoting more Time to studying beneficial magicks instead of harmful ones, Aya has become much calmer and more thoughtful. If you leave her to herself, she'll end up in her own thoughts in seconds, either watching others, or watching the stars. She enjoys the cold and the night, and as such, you'll often find her lying out in a field on a quiet night.<br /><br />

He bears a somewhat similar silvery-white hair, but unlike Aya's magenta eyes, he sports icy blue ones. Agian would easily do anything to please his mistress, and would do ''anything'' to attain the information she requires... whatever that may be. <br />
<br /> <br />
*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''(PC) [[Sami Molkoh | S'ami Malkoh]]:''' At the age of 10, Sami first met the magenta-eyed scholar Aya Numi. The two quickly became good friends - or at least, Sami thought so - as Sami helped Aya to better understand the layout of the land. Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea... until an unforseen circumstance led to the young Miqo'te fleeing her friend in fear. Since then, S'ami - now known as simply 'Sami' - has made her home in Drybone, continuing research on her own Time. <br />
<br /> <br />
*<font style="color:#33ff22;" size="3">●</font> '''(PC) [[W'khael Tia]]:''' Khael joined Aya Numi's travelling research group not very long after Sami did. As he was the exact same age as her - and, not to mention, also a Miqo'te - the two became uncannily good friends. Aya and Agian trained him as a Machinist, and his abilities have only grown since the Calamity. He's very loyal to Aya, and now that he's aware S'ami is alive, he likely thinks that she abandoned them. Still, having been good friends with her, he doesn't want to believe this, so Aya has sent him to find out. <br />

Aya, Agian, and W'khael stayed with his family not long after the Calamity, secretly doing research on a circus that the group ran. When they left, it wasn't long before Aya discovered young Lain hiding amongst their things. Rather than throwing him back, though, she took him with, and has been mentoring the young Hyur... while also proving on several occasions that she won't put up with his haughty attitude. She'll occasionally take him along on some of her solo missions, as his ability to masquerade as a pretty young girl has come in handy... numerous Times. <br />

<br />
<br />
==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion===<br />
Aya does not display any obvious idea of religion, but treats the gods as though they certainly exist. However, instead of calling out any specific deity name, she'll either reference the 'Ellosyr' or just simply the 'gods'. Not being from Eorzea, chances are that her knowledge of the Eorzean deities is somewhat limited. Of the Twelve, though, she seems to honor the Fury most of all, likely thanks to her Time in Ishgard. <br />
===Quirks===<br />
* She will occasionally potato down the stairs; it's best not to question it.<br />
* If she feels comfortable with you, chances are that she'll lob a few playfully jabbing comments at you; feel free to throw some back! She loves a good back-and-forth. <br />
* She will often spend entire sessions just watching other people's interactions. If this happens, don't assume that she's bored! In fact, it may be quite the opposite; she may just be so enamored with your conversation that she doesn't want to intrude. <br />
* She will, 93% of the Time, have her pet red panda with her. <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Aya from:<br />
<br />
* The Quicksand<br />
* Any main city or town (Ishgard and Idyllshire are her most recently popular destinations!) <br />
* Walking around The Goblet and some of its own haunts<br />
* Random fields; you might just trip over her<br />

==History== <br />
<br /> <center>{{redacted}}</center> <!-- Okiku was born in the spring, on a cold rainy night, after her twin Tamamin. The two were identical, and the moment they were placed next to each other the began holding hands. That is how Tamamin and Okiku would grow: Hand in hand. At the age of two, before they even really knew their parents, the two were sold off to Hemji house. This is because their parents were regrettably poor. Though the family who "adopted" them promised they would be raised as two beloved daughters, this was not the case. They were raised as servants, and though day to day treatment was not entirely unfair, they would be beaten should they make any mistakes. Their primary care taker was the maid, Ai. She was clumsy and young but took good care of the twins. She would help them with their day to day tasks and watch over them so that they would not get in trouble. <br />
The girls didn't receive much time to play, but it was Tamamin who came up with the idea of a game that later make up the majority of their favorite memories. They pretended they were in a fantasy land, that they had been captured by an evil pirate who locked them up in the small cellar they called their room. When ever they did chance the time outside, usually when Ai was washing the clothing, they would run through the small forest located near the mason and would pretend they had escaped, only to be captured again. They called themselves the "ghosts" of the mason. <br />
Their happy lives came to and end when there was to be a large celebration. The girls were tasked with setting the tables and Tamamin dropped a priceless plate, in front of the Lord and Lady's only son. He cornered the girls and told them that he would tell the Lord about the plate if Tamamin did not agree to marry him. The young girl , reluctantly , agreed out of fear. Overwhelmed, Okiku pushed him away from Tamamin, forcing him to fall into a vase which shattered and badly wounded him. As a result, she was thrown down a well and left to drown.--> <br /><br />
Okiku, who had been thrown in a well, was rescued by a passing circus. She had no memory of how or why she was in the well, only that she'd been forcibly pushed into it. Her memory loss was the result of a head injury , and multiple cases of loss of consciousness. She was remedied by a doctor who was also a tight rope walker for the circus. The Elezen's name was Francis, and he was the reason Okiku was alive. He bargained with the owner of the Circus to allow Okiku to stay, and in order to keep her around long her, taught her the art of tight rope and slack line walking. Ki adapted well to the former and often performed with Francis on stage. He became an older brother to her, and she a sister to him. Okiku was very obviously talented, and became a true member of the circus quite quickly. Despite her memory loss she adapted quite well, and was quick to make friends with her kindness and loving, adorable nature. Her first friend in the circus was Relinina Stow, and the two would eventually develop a strange affection for each other akin to love. Ki never could recall her past, and something deep in the back of her mind told her it was best not to. However, in the midst of one of her performances a small flash back came to her, and she fell from the tight rope, to the floor below. This resulted in an injury that, had it not been for Francis, would have prevented her from ever walking properly again. Francis was a genius, however, whose talents were wasted in a circus. He developed a device that, when places in and around Okiku's spine, would allow her to bend normally again, and eve walk the ropes. His hopes were that the device could eventually be surgically removed and Ki could walk with out it's help. This would take time. After this fall, Okiku would often have nightmare about the memory, though she never told any one this. When Ki was 14, her circus traveled to Eorzea, coming to rest outside of Gridania. Their plan had been to stay for a couple months, but it was during these months that the Calamity would occur, resulting in the end of the circus. Okiku managed to find Francis and stay by his side. The two kept to traveling and performing when they needed money. It was during these travels that Okiku met Sami, and the two quickly became friends. However, shortly after Francis became ill, and died swiftly with no apparent reason. Thus Okiku was left all alone, she stuck close to Sami' side and the two made a home for each other in Camp Drybone. From here time moved slowly. Okiku took up the art of lace work, which she became quite proficient at. <br /><br />
<br />
The girls' lives continued for several years with out incident. As Ki grew older she began to frequent the streets of Ishgard, and started performing more , while Sami took delving further into her research. The two however kept in contestant contact. It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of Ainle Goldpaw, who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Okiku is very gentle and extremely formal. That being said, it's hard to catch her with out a smile on her face. The simplest of things make her smile, a butterfly on a flower, the sea breeze, a certain Miqo'te and her damn ghosts. She reasonably polite and seems very unbiased about most things, the things she is heated on bring a colorful range of emotions to her often calm features. To many close to her she may seem quite innocent, though this is really because she dose not know how to handle flirtatiousness. Ki is still quite young at heart, having no memories she really only see's herself as a ten year old sometimes. This leads to her taking a childish stance on thing's she really cares about. She often feel's disconnected from others, her biggest fear being that she will never matter to any one, and as a result she give's of an aura (no pun intended) of loneliness. She love's making friends and meeting new people but she has a tough time letting people in. Despite all this, she's always happy and hardly ever let's thing's get her down. She's by no means stand offish, and occasionally, when comfortable, may crack a joke or be flirty. <br />
The darker sides of Ki's personality are only seen under the right circumstances or by the right people. Her fear of being alone, of never being important to those she cares so much about, of all ways being in the back ground. Her insecurities, she hates her scales, she's small and fear's shell always be seen as a child. And most of all, the weight she bares from the death of her loved ones, her never ending pain from the blame she feel's for their death's. <br />
Yet, for those few people who do see these sides of her, might also see her light, and the thing's that make her beautiful. Her smile, she's always smiling, for those around her and for herself. Her strength and loyalty to those she loves. The gentleness of her voice, and how much she genuinely care's about those around her.<br />
<br />

Ki's first friend after the Calamity , Sami and Ki met each other while both in a time of need and quickly hit it off. The two shared a fire like personality and were drawn to each other because of this. Over time Ki began to understand her feelings for Sami were more than that of feelings of friendship, and she found herself falling for the Miqo'te. However out of respect for her friend who obviously did not share the feelings, she quickly locked them away were the eventually diminished into a small flame but never truly disappeared. Now the two find themselves as close as two friend can get, trusting their lives to each other. <br /><br />

The Elezen who saved Okiku from the well quickly became a brother like figure and parent at the same time. As both a performer and doctor of the circus she would eventually perform at, he was the one who healed her injuries, and brought her to love tight rope walking so much. 10 years older than her, Francis brought wisdom to Okiku's life. He introduced her to painting, and tinkering along side her many other hobbies. Though she never told him, Francis became the person Okiku would perform for time after time on stage. After a fall from the ropes that would have been the end of Shiki's career, he placed a small mechanism that would allow her to bend her back properly again. He believed that, in due time, he would be able to remove the device and she would no longer need it. However , he fell ill shortly after the Calamity, and 12 year old Okiku could do nothing but watch her dearest friend wither away and die. <br /><br />

The hyuran performer was captivated by Okiku the moment she was pulled from the well, being the one to first find Okiku in it. Five years older than Okiku, Relinina was careful to admit her affection for Okiku. However, Okiku, though young, found herself equality captivated by Relinia, and three years after meeting the two fell into a relationship. The two shared a short, whirl wind romance that never should have happened, and ended with Relinia's death in the Calamity. Despite the fact their relationship was riddled with flaws, Okiku still thinks fondly of Relinia, but understands that it would have never worked. <br /><br />

<center> The truth was revealed to Ki that the name that had been held in the back of her head for to long was that of her twin sister, Tamamin (Tama) Sarayashiki. The Twin's were reunited when a member of the 81st mistook her for Okiku. Now, though Ki's memories have yet to return, the two hope to rebuild their lives together. </center><br /><br />

The Elezen perplexes Ki to no end. While the Au Ra has slowly begun to see her as a mother-like figure, she also seems to put Ki in embarrassing spots. In no way does Okiku resent Senelle for this, though, and on a good night, you might catch Ki admitting that she enjoys the woman's banter and seemingly endless wisdom.<br />

She even has begun to feel calm and serene in his presence, something that she deeply enjoys.<br />

==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion=== <br />
Ki has never really been religious due to the fact she was never exposed to it until late in life. She dose believe in an after life but worships no deity. None the less she respects the religions of others. <br />
<br />
===Quirks===<br />
*Ki has a fascination with dancing, seeing as how she's performer. That being said, dancing is her weak point in her performance abilities. When feeling down, she could often be seen dancing alone, sometimes to no music, in an entirely clumsy and uncoordinated way. More often than not she bumps into things while doing this, she bruises quite easily. <br /><br />
*While not the most talented singer in all the realm, Ki enjoys humming to herself from time to time and is quite good at it. She can be found doing this while cooking/tinkering/bathing and dose not mind others listening to her. She often likes to make up languages while she sings, believing it makes her sound better. <br /><br />
*When bored, Okiku is likely to burst into dance. It's best not to question it. <br /><br />
*She likes to paint rainbows on her wrists and ankles. Again, it best left unquestioned. <br />
<br />
==Notable Quotes==<br />
*"War only exists because there is always some one to fight."<br />
*"I've seen men's passions destroy them, I've watched them become some one else in the name of something they love. I will not fall like them."<br />
*"Tikki, transorme mwah!"<br />
*"For it is her that I've run the lines of insanity for, and I shall do so again if need be." <br />
*"It is selfish to die for some one else."<br />
<br />
<br />
===Rumours===<br />
Okiku has no real or threatening rumors floating around her. She's quite careful and performs under the stage name "The Lonely Ghost." <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Ki from:<br />
<br />
* Ishgard<br />
* The Beaches in Mist<br />
* The Golden Saucer (When she dose perform, it's usually here)<br />
* Camp Drybone<br />
<br />
===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I wrote MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who, despite her past, moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should.<br />

==Appearance==<br />
Sami is a young Miqo'te with lightly tanned skin, silvery-blue eyes, and russet hair that has been outlined with a fiery orange. She has markings that frame the sides of her face, and often wears very light make-up (which is much more a product of boredom than an attempt to show herself off). <br />
She can be seen in several different outfits depending on where she is, but most often wears a white top paired with black leather jeans and boots. She is also always seen with a scarf accentuated with a smooth white jewel, no matter the temperature; even if she's wearing a jacket, you can be sure that it's underneath, safe and sound. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Sami - whose real name is S'ami Malkoh - had a relatively straightforward past until she reached the age of ten, at which point she met the travelling scholars Aya Numi and Agian. Unfamiliar with the land, the silver-haired woman asked Sami's aid in navigating it, and the two grew relatively close over the course of the following year. <br /><br />
<br />
At the point of Aya's departure, Sami begged to come along, and Aya agreed to give her a trial, much to Agian's annoyance. Thus began the travels of the three across the land of Eorzea, where Sami was more than happy to help Aya in her studies, despite not knowing the full extent of just what she was researching. Aya helped Sami to train in the art of conjury, which the young Miqo'te found a love for very quickly. Impressed by the young Miqo'te's aptitude for the art, Aya gifted Sami with a silky scarf that had been accentuated by a smooth white jewel. This scarf seemed to greatly help Sami's skills, so she wore it with pride in their travels. <br /><br />
<br />
They picked up another Miqo'te not long after (by the name of W'khael Tia), who Sami immediately became good friends with. Despite being from another clan, Khael and Sami had a surprising amount in common, especially when it came to training, learning, and mercilessly pestering Agian. The four - three, with the begrudging Agian - became a rather close-knit group over the next few years... or so Sami thought. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center>{{Redacted}} </center><br /><br />
<br />
Now fearing for her life, the 18-year-old Miqo'te ran, escaped being stopped by W'khael, and hid in the vastness of the Thanalan desert, doing her best to avoid being found by the Amal'jaa, the animals, and most importantly, her own 'friends'. As she ran, though, she very soon became aware of something looming in the sky: Dalamud, as it made its fateful fall. <br /><br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Dazed, confused, and injured, Sami made no attempts to find her group in the following days, assuming them all to be dead. She instead holed up in a cavern, using conjury to heal her wounds slowly and as well as she could. Thanks to the power of the scarf that Aya had once given her - the only thing about the young woman that Sami now trusted - she was able to heal herself completely, with perhaps only a few small scars to show for her troubles. During this Time, she also discovered an orphaned rat pup who was near death. She nursed him back to health, often feeding him before herself. <br /><br />
<br />
After healing both her and the rat's wounds, Sami very quickly realized that they couldn't live in the cave alone for much longer, especially with such little available food and water. Wandering out every night with rat pup tucked away in her tattered robes, she eventually found her way back to Camp Drybone, where she came across somebody who she had found a friend in not too long past: Okiku Sarayashiki. The young Au Ra, having just lost a close friend, was more than happy to have the company, and the two set up in Camp Drybone, where Sami offered her conjury services to those passing through so that she may continue her research without the aid of her previous group. Okiku, at the age of 14, mistook the name 'S'ami Malkoh' to be the easier 'Sami Molkoh', and would always spell it as such, leading the Miqo'te herself to begin using the nickname as her real name. <br /><br />
<br />
The two lived in Drybone for years, until 19-year-old Okiku finally was able to get back into Ishgard again, where she now regularly travels. Occasionally, Sami will come with her on these trips, but never for more than a few days at a Time. Otherwise, she'll stay at Drybone on her own, where she continues her research to this day, on arcanima, Eorzea, and a much more unexpected topic... <br /><br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
Recently, Sami and Okiku have joined the Maelstrom's 81st Levy. Sami, after settling in, has started lending her conjury abilities to the group in what ways she can. Mostly, this has been naught much else than joining in on some beach-going fun, and watching the others train on the beach. However, during the 81st's Hatching Tide celebration... that all changed. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center>{{Redacted}} </center> <br /> <br />
<br />
Following the success of her first training mission, Sami came across something rather unusual resting against her bedroom door: a brilliantly metalworked staff just as dangerous with its points as with its potency, with what seems to be a polished amethyst in the head's core. The entire thing seems to be built around condensed aether in the form of a crystal shaft, and, unlike previous staves that the Miqo'te has used, this one seems to have been crafted specifically for her. A gift from one of her teammates, perhaps? Possible, but she isn't so sure. Regardless of the staff's origins, Sami can't wait to see how this staff will help her, now that she has an object through which she can actually work more easily. <br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Sami is a very peppy, well-spoken Miqo'te with a penchant for conjury, though one wouldn't know it by looking at her. She's often very friendly to anybody - anybody - who she meets, though a bit of careful attention would reveal that she's not so quick to trust anybody.<br /><br />
<br />
Sami has a great love for knowledge and, specifically, the summoning of carbuncles; she's likely to spend more Time talking to an arcanist's pet than the actual person. In fact, animals typically garner her interest very quickly, as does any part of nature itself.<br /><br />
<br />
Despite her happy-go-lucky nature, Sami isn't interested only in the power of friendship and love; if you were to bring up something regarding the dark arts, she'd be completely rapt, though it's obvious that she herself has no wish to dabble in such arts.<br /><br />
<br />
It should probably be noted that Sami his incredibly dyslexic when it comes to reading the Eorzean language. She can read it, but only with great help, and often requires help to read things that children would understand. The reason for this is, currently, unknown, though if you pester her about it, she'll probably just tell you outright. <br /><br />
<br />
Because of her never-ending search for knowledge, though, she's quick to disregard danger, so watch out; following her anywhere will often end in some sort of encounter, or at the very least, a few annoyed squirrels.<br />
<br />

*<font style="color:#33ff22;" size="3">●</font> '''(PC) [[Okiku Sarayashiki]]:''' After the Calamity, Sami soon ran into the young Au Ra, Okiku. With the former only barely recovered from injuries and the latter having lost a friend during Dalamud's Fall, they formed a quick friendship, and both ran to recover in the nearby Camp Drybone. Over the next five years, the two have aided each other in their own endeavors. Currently, Okiku travels back and forth between Camp Drybone and Ishgard, where she has decided to settle her primary residence. Sami will come with her on occasion, but only very rarely. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''(PC) [[Aya Numi]]:''' At the age of 10, Sami first met the magenta-eyed scholar Aya Numi. The two quickly became good friends - or at least, Sami thought so - as Sami helped Aya to better understand the layout of the land. Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea... until an unforseen circumstance led to the young Miqo'te fleeing her friend in fear. Since then, Sami has not heard one word from the silver-haired young woman, and despite feigning sadness at the loss of such a friend, one could very easily catch the glimmer of relief in Sami's eyes if they were to ask about the woman's disappearance. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''(PC) [[W'khael Tia]]:''' Khael joined Aya Numi's travelling research group not very long after Sami did. As he was the exact same age as her - and, not to mention, also a Miqo'te - the two became uncannily good friends. Khael was very protective of the young girl, especially around anything that he deemed dangerous, and he was more than happy to assist her conjury training with his own personal training. Bearing the same eyes and russet fur as Sami, the two could easily have been mistaken for siblings, had they not been from different tribes. When he was lost during the Calamity, he was the only one over whom Sami legitimately cried. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''(Non-PC) Agian:''' A thaumaturge of unknown power, Agian's past is just as much a mystery as Aya's. Bearing a strikingly similar color of silver hair to the woman, however, Sami had always assumed the two to be related. Agian always seemed to be bothered by Sami's presence, though he tolerated her... until Aya accepted her into the group. He then treated her as though she wasn't really there, though her innocence did seem to break through to him on one or two occasions, as he would occasionally step in to correct her conjury forms. His whereabouts and status are, as with Aya and W'khael, unknown, and he is assumed to be deceased. ((And before you ask, yes, his name stems from the mistyping of the word 'again', but we're going to ignore that.)) <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''Rata:''' Rata is Sami's pet rat! His full name is unknown. He will follow Sami around to most places, and is her partner in crime, ever since she rescued him after the Calamity and nursed him back to health. He is very defensive of her, and recently, he's become very tense, which was what first led Sami to believe that something wasn't quite right in the 81st's House. <br />

* Animals <br />
* Nature <br />
* Knowledge <br />
* Friendly people <br />
* Arcanima <br />
* Honesty, above all else <br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />

* Anyone/thing that hurts nature <br />
* Overly strict commands/rules <br />
* Those who indulge in the Darkness <br />
* Yarzons, oh gods why do those exist <br />
<br />
===Strengths===<br />
* Her conjury<br />
* Her use of arcanima<br />
* Her knowledge <br />
* Her ability to be charming to most people<br />
* Her very approachable demeanor<br />
* Her ability to follow orders<br />

<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
* Her dislike of anything ''too'' strict<br />
* Her penchant for wandering into danger in the pursuit of knowledge<br />
* Her innocent demeanor; she is not overly naive, but her hope that all people have good in them can easily lead her into dangerous situations<br />
* Her land magic; despite being a conjurer, stone spells are her weakest, though nobody really knows why (yet). <br />
* Dyslexia, when reading the Eorzean language. It's so severe that she might mistake a Danger sign for a Welcome sign.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion===<br />
Sami is not very religious herself, though a few questions would reveal that she very much believes in the existence of gods, as well as good and evil. She has no main patron deity who she prays to above all else, though Okiku's travels around Ishgard have left her referencing Halone more often than the other gods. <br />
===Quirks===<br />
* If you have a pet, arcanima or otherwise, she'll probably greet it before she greets you. <br />
* She gets annoyed if somebody blatantly disregards nature, so watch out if you smash into something (She'll probably easily borrow a certain character's line of 'Don't step on the flowers!'). <br />
* Despite being mainly a conjurer, if you were to offer information about any sort of dark art, expect her to become immediately interested. She herself wouldn't dabble in such arts, but will lap up any information given on it. <br />
* She will often treat inanimate objects as living things - and non-sentient beings as sentient - whether or not they actually are/have ever been alive. This is a quirk she picked up from W'khael, who told her that all things have feelings. It isn't terribly pervasive, but it will often come up whenever she becomes a wallflower in a situation! So far, we've already had her dancing with her pet rat Rata, and fighting a beach chair for dominance. <br />
* Don't ever accept cookies or brownies from her; you'll probably end up seeing unicorns. <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Sami from:<br />
<br />
* The Coffer and Coffin<br />
* Anywhere around Drybone (both the Camp and the area) <br />
* Ul'dah, and particularly The Quicksand (what better place to find new stories?) <br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
I play on Balmung as Sami Molkoh (an accidental typo that I'm too lazy to change, so I worked it into her storyline), and am on quite often. If you ever want to roleplay for any reason - perhaps you have some dark knowledge that you're dying to share, or you just need another friend - feel free to message me! <br />
As it stands, Sami is not currently looking for a relationship (but we'll see what happens, now that she's rping with more people!) and I don't ERP with her, so apologies for that. But if it's for anything else, message me any Time at all!</div>Aya Numihttps://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/index.php?title=Okiku_Sarayashiki&diff=189226Okiku Sarayashiki2016-08-01T00:53:43Z<p>Aya Numi: Snoke snekes</p>

==History== <br />
<br /> <center>{{redacted}}</center> <!-- Okiku was born in the spring, on a cold rainy night, after her twin Tamamin. The two were identical, and the moment they were placed next to each other the began holding hands. That is how Tamamin and Okiku would grow: Hand in hand. At the age of two, before they even really knew their parents, the two were sold off to Hemji house. This is because their parents were regrettably poor. Though the family who "adopted" them promised they would be raised as two beloved daughters, this was not the case. They were raised as servants, and though day to day treatment was not entirely unfair, they would be beaten should they make any mistakes. Their primary care taker was the maid, Ai. She was clumsy and young but took good care of the twins. She would help them with their day to day tasks and watch over them so that they would not get in trouble. <br />
The girls didn't receive much time to play, but it was Tamamin who came up with the idea of a game that later make up the majority of their favorite memories. They pretended they were in a fantasy land, that they had been captured by an evil pirate who locked them up in the small cellar they called their room. When ever they did chance the time outside, usually when Ai was washing the clothing, they would run through the small forest located near the mason and would pretend they had escaped, only to be captured again. They called themselves the "ghosts" of the mason. <br />
Their happy lives came to and end when there was to be a large celebration. The girls were tasked with setting the tables and Tamamin dropped a priceless plate, in front of the Lord and Lady's only son. He cornered the girls and told them that he would tell the Lord about the plate if Tamamin did not agree to marry him. The young girl , reluctantly , agreed out of fear. Overwhelmed, Okiku pushed him away from Tamamin, forcing him to fall into a vase which shattered and badly wounded him. As a result, she was thrown down a well and left to drown.--> <br /><br />
Okiku, who had been thrown in a well, was rescued by a passing circus. She had no memory of how or why she was in the well, only that she'd been forcibly pushed into it. Her memory loss was the result of a head injury , and multiple cases of loss of consciousness. She was remedied by a doctor who was also a tight rope walker for the circus. The Elezen's name was Francis, and he was the reason Okiku was alive. He bargained with the owner of the Circus to allow Okiku to stay, and in order to keep her around long her, taught her the art of tight rope and slack line walking. Ki adapted well to the former and often performed with Francis on stage. He became an older brother to her, and she a sister to him. Okiku was very obviously talented, and became a true member of the circus quite quickly. Despite her memory loss she adapted quite well, and was quick to make friends with her kindness and loving, adorable nature. Her first friend in the circus was Relinina Stow, and the two would eventually develop a strange affection for each other akin to love. Ki never could recall her past, and something deep in the back of her mind told her it was best not to. However, in the midst of one of her performances a small flash back came to her, and she fell from the tight rope, to the floor below. This resulted in an injury that, had it not been for Francis, would have prevented her from ever walking properly again. Francis was a genius, however, whose talents were wasted in a circus. He developed a device that, when places in and around Okiku's spine, would allow her to bend normally again, and eve walk the ropes. His hopes were that the device could eventually be surgically removed and Ki could walk with out it's help. This would take time. After this fall, Okiku would often have nightmare about the memory, though she never told any one this. When Ki was 14, her circus traveled to Eorzea, coming to rest outside of Gridania. Their plan had been to stay for a couple months, but it was during these months that the Calamity would occur, resulting in the end of the circus. Okiku managed to find Francis and stay by his side. The two kept to traveling and performing when they needed money. It was during these travels that Okiku met Sami, and the two quickly became friends. However, shortly after Francis became ill, and died swiftly with no apparent reason. Thus Okiku was left all alone, she stuck close to Sami' side and the two made a home for each other in Camp Drybone. From here time moved slowly. Okiku took up the art of lace work, which she became quite proficient at. <br /><br />
<br />
The girls' lives continued for several years with out incident. As Ki grew older she began to frequent the streets of Ishgard, and started performing more , while Sami took delving further into her research. The two however kept in contestant contact. It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of Ainle Goldpaw, who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Okiku is very gentle and extremely formal. That being said, it's hard to catch her with out a smile on her face. The simplest of things make her smile, a butterfly on a flower, the sea breeze, a certain Miqo'te and her damn ghosts. She reasonably polite and seems very unbiased about most things, the things she is heated on bring a colorful range of emotions to her often calm features. To many close to her she may seem quite innocent, though this is really because she dose not know how to handle flirtatiousness. Ki is still quite young at heart, having no memories she really only see's herself as a ten year old sometimes. This leads to her taking a childish stance on thing's she really cares about. She often feel's disconnected from others, her biggest fear being that she will never matter to any one, and as a result she give's of an aura (no pun intended) of loneliness. She love's making friends and meeting new people but she has a tough time letting people in. Despite all this, she's always happy and hardly ever let's thing's get her down. She's by no means stand offish, and occasionally, when comfortable, may crack a joke or be flirty. <br />
The darker sides of Ki's personality are only seen under the right circumstances or by the right people. Her fear of being alone, of never being important to those she cares so much about, of all ways being in the back ground. Her insecurities, she hates her scales, she's small and fear's shell always be seen as a child. And most of all, the weight she bares from the death of her loved ones, her never ending pain from the blame she feel's for their death's. <br />
Yet, for those few people who do see these sides of her, might also see her light, and the thing's that make her beautiful. Her smile, she's always smiling, for those around her and for herself. Her strength and loyalty to those she loves. The gentleness of her voice, and how much she genuinely care's about those around her.<br />
<br />

<center> <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''.:[[Sami Molkoh]]:.''' </center><br />
Ki's first friend after the Calamity , Sami and Ki met each other while both in a time of need and quickly hit it off. The two shared a fire like personality and were drawn to each other because of this. Over time Ki began to understand her feelings for Sami were more than that of feelings of friendship, and she found herself falling for the Miqo'te. However out of respect for her friend who obviously did not share the feelings, she quickly locked them away were the eventually diminished into a small flame but never truly disappeared. Now the two find themselves as close as two friend can get, trusting their lives to each other. <br /><br />

<br />
<center> <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> <font style="color:#000000;" size="5">†</font>'''.:Francis Tomsonford:.'''</center><br />
The Elezen who saved Okiku from the well quickly became a brother like figure and parent at the same time. As both a performer and doctor of the circus she would eventually perform at, he was the one who healed her injuries, and brought her to love tight rope walking so much. 10 years older than her, Francis brought wisdom to Okiku's life. He introduced her to painting, and tinkering along side her many other hobbies. Though she never told him, Francis became the person Okiku would perform for time after time on stage. After a fall from the ropes that would have been the end of Shiki's career, he placed a small mechanism that would allow her to bend her back properly again. He believed that, in due time, he would be able to remove the device and she would no longer need it. However , he fell ill shortly after the Calamity, and 12 year old Okiku could do nothing but watch her dearest friend wither away and die. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center> <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> <font style="color:#000000;" size="5">†</font>'''.: Relinina Stow:.'''</center><br />
The hyuran performer was captivated by Okiku the moment she was pulled from the well, being the one to first find Okiku in it. Five years older than Okiku, Relinina was careful to admit her affection for Okiku. However, Okiku, though young, found herself equality captivated by Relinia, and three years after meeting the two fell into a relationship. The two shared a short, whirl wind romance that never should have happened, and ended with Relinia's death in the Calamity. Despite the fact their relationship was riddled with flaws, Okiku still thinks fondly of Relinia, but understands that it would have never worked. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center>'''Tamamin''' </center> <br />
<center> The truth was revealed to Ki that the name that had been held in the back of her head for to long was that of her twin sister, Tamamin (Tama) Sarayashiki. The Twin's were reunited when a member of the 81st mistook her for Okiku. Now, though Ki's memories have yet to return, the two hope to rebuild their lives together. </center><br /><br />

<br />
<br />
<center> <font style="color:#33ff22;" size="3">●</font> '''.:[[Ainle Goldpaw]]:.''' </center><br />
<center>The Seeker would be her reason for joining the 81st, and her first friend amongst them. As a result, Ki tends to look up to Ainle. His willpower and loyalty inspire her to help the 81st as best she can, and then some. Though Ki is still quite new to them, she hopes to become even closer of friends with the Miqo'te.</center><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center> <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''.:[[Senelle Silverlight]]:.''' </center><br />
The Elezen perplexes Ki to no end. While the Au Ra has slowly begun to see her as a mother-like figure, she also seems to put Ki in embarrassing spots. In no way does Okiku resent Senelle for this, though, and on a good night, you might catch Ki admitting that she enjoys the woman's banter and seemingly endless wisdom.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center> <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font>'''.:[[Lynn'wo Vahnal]]:.''' </center><br />
Okiku met the Keeper at a dance hosted by their shared company. Lynn's flirtatious and mischievous attitude has both perplexed the Au Ra and piqued her interest in him. She finds him to be absolutely charming, and in recent day's has found herself feeling even closer to him. She even has begun to feel calm and serene in his presence, something that she deeply enjoys.<br />

==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion=== <br />
Ki has never really been religious due to the fact she was never exposed to it until late in life. She dose believe in an after life but worships no deity. None the less she respects the religions of others. <br />
<br />
===Quirks===<br />
*Ki has a fascination with dancing, seeing as how she's performer. That being said, dancing is her weak point in her performance abilities. When feeling down, she could often be seen dancing alone, sometimes to no music, in an entirely clumsy and uncoordinated way. More often than not she bumps into things while doing this, she bruises quite easily. <br /><br />
*While not the most talented singer in all the realm, Ki enjoys humming to herself from time to time and is quite good at it. She can be found doing this while cooking/tinkering/bathing and dose not mind others listening to her. She often likes to make up languages while she sings, believing it makes her sound better. <br /><br />
*When bored, Okiku is likely to burst into dance. It's best not to question it. <br /><br />
*She likes to paint rainbows on her wrists and ankles. Again, it best left unquestioned. <br />
<br />
==Notable Quotes==<br />
*"War only exists because there is always some one to fight."<br />
*"I've seen men's passions destroy them, I've watched them become some one else in the name of something they love. I will not fall like them."<br />
*"Tikki, transorme mwah!"<br />
*"For it is her that I've run the lines of insanity for, and I shall do so again if need be." <br />
*"It is selfish to die for some one else."<br />
<br />
<br />
===Rumours===<br />
Okiku has no real or threatening rumors floating around her. She's quite careful and performs under the stage name "The Lonely Ghost." <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Ki from:<br />
<br />
* Ishgard<br />
* The Beaches in Mist<br />
* The Golden Saucer (When she dose perform, it's usually here)<br />
* Camp Drybone<br />
<br />
===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I wrote MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who, despite her past, moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should.<br />

==Appearance==<br />
Sami is a young Miqo'te with lightly tanned skin, silvery-blue eyes, and russet hair that has been outlined with a fiery orange. She has markings that frame the sides of her face, and often wears very light make-up (which is much more a product of boredom than an attempt to show herself off). <br />
She can be seen in several different outfits depending on where she is, but most often wears a white top paired with black leather jeans and boots. She is also always seen with a scarf accentuated with a smooth white jewel, no matter the temperature; even if she's wearing a jacket, you can be sure that it's underneath, safe and sound. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Sami - whose real name is S'ami Malkoh - had a relatively straightforward past until she reached the age of ten, at which point she met the travelling scholars Aya Numi and Agian. Unfamiliar with the land, the silver-haired woman asked Sami's aid in navigating it, and the two grew relatively close over the course of the following year. <br /><br />
<br />
At the point of Aya's departure, Sami begged to come along, and Aya agreed to give her a trial, much to Agian's annoyance. Thus began the travels of the three across the land of Eorzea, where Sami was more than happy to help Aya in her studies, despite not knowing the full extent of just what she was researching. Aya helped Sami to train in the art of conjury, which the young Miqo'te found a love for very quickly. Impressed by the young Miqo'te's aptitude for the art, Aya gifted Sami with a silky scarf that had been accentuated by a smooth white jewel. This scarf seemed to greatly help Sami's skills, so she wore it with pride in their travels. <br /><br />
<br />
They picked up another Miqo'te not long after (by the name of W'khael Tia), who Sami immediately became good friends with. Despite being from another clan, Khael and Sami had a surprising amount in common, especially when it came to training, learning, and mercilessly pestering Agian. The four - three, with the begrudging Agian - became a rather close-knit group over the next few years... or so Sami thought. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center>{{Redacted}} </center><br /><br />
<br />
Now fearing for her life, the 18-year-old Miqo'te ran, escaped being stopped by W'khael, and hid in the vastness of the Thanalan desert, doing her best to avoid being found by the Amal'jaa, the animals, and most importantly, her own 'friends'. As she ran, though, she very soon became aware of something looming in the sky: Dalamud, as it made its fateful fall. <br /><br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Dazed, confused, and injured, Sami made no attempts to find her group in the following days, assuming them all to be dead. She instead holed up in a cavern, using conjury to heal her wounds slowly and as well as she could. Thanks to the power of the scarf that Aya had once given her - the only thing about the young woman that Sami now trusted - she was able to heal herself completely, with perhaps only a few small scars to show for her troubles. During this Time, she also discovered an orphaned rat pup who was near death. She nursed him back to health, often feeding him before herself. <br /><br />
<br />
After healing both her and the rat's wounds, Sami very quickly realized that they couldn't live in the cave alone for much longer, especially with such little available food and water. Wandering out every night with rat pup tucked away in her tattered robes, she eventually found her way back to Camp Drybone, where she came across somebody who she had found a friend in not too long past: Okiku Sarayashiki. The young Au Ra, having just lost a close friend, was more than happy to have the company, and the two set up in Camp Drybone, where Sami offered her conjury services to those passing through so that she may continue her research without the aid of her previous group. Okiku, at the age of 14, mistook the name 'S'ami Malkoh' to be the easier 'Sami Molkoh', and would always spell it as such, leading the Miqo'te herself to begin using the nickname as her real name. <br /><br />
<br />
The two lived in Drybone for years, until 19-year-old Okiku finally was able to get back into Ishgard again, where she now regularly travels. Occasionally, Sami will come with her on these trips, but never for more than a few days at a Time. Otherwise, she'll stay at Drybone on her own, where she continues her research to this day, on arcanima, Eorzea, and a much more unexpected topic... <br /><br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
Recently, Sami and Okiku have joined the Maelstrom's 81st Levy. Sami, after settling in, has started lending her conjury abilities to the group in what ways she can. Mostly, this has been naught much else than joining in on some beach-going fun, and watching the others train on the beach. However, during the 81st's Hatching Tide celebration... that all changed. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center>{{Redacted}} </center> <br /> <br />
<br />
Following the success of her first training mission, Sami came across something rather unusual resting against her bedroom door: a brilliantly metalworked staff just as dangerous with its points as with its potency, with what seems to be a polished amethyst in the head's core. The entire thing seems to be built around condensed aether in the form of a crystal shaft, and, unlike previous staves that the Miqo'te has used, this one seems to have been crafted specifically for her. A gift from one of her teammates, perhaps? Possible, but she isn't so sure. Regardless of the staff's origins, Sami can't wait to see how this staff will help her, now that she has an object through which she can actually work more easily. <br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Sami is a very peppy, well-spoken Miqo'te with a penchant for conjury, though one wouldn't know it by looking at her. She's often very friendly to anybody - anybody - who she meets, though a bit of careful attention would reveal that she's not so quick to trust anybody.<br /><br />
<br />
Sami has a great love for knowledge and, specifically, the summoning of carbuncles; she's likely to spend more Time talking to an arcanist's pet than the actual person. In fact, animals typically garner her interest very quickly, as does any part of nature itself.<br /><br />
<br />
Despite her happy-go-lucky nature, Sami isn't interested only in the power of friendship and love; if you were to bring up something regarding the dark arts, she'd be completely rapt, though it's obvious that she herself has no wish to dabble in such arts.<br /><br />
<br />
It should probably be noted that Sami his incredibly dyslexic when it comes to reading the Eorzean language. She can read it, but only with great help, and often requires help to read things that children would understand. The reason for this is, currently, unknown, though if you pester her about it, she'll probably just tell you outright. <br /><br />
<br />
Because of her never-ending search for knowledge, though, she's quick to disregard danger, so watch out; following her anywhere will often end in some sort of encounter, or at the very least, a few annoyed squirrels.<br />

*<font style="color:#33ff22;" size="3">●</font> '''(PC) [[Okiku Sarayashiki]]:''' After the Calamity, Sami soon ran into the young Au Ra, Okiku. With the former only barely recovered from injuries and the latter having lost a friend during Dalamud's Fall, they formed a quick friendship, and both ran to recover in the nearby Camp Drybone. Over the next five years, the two have aided each other in their own endeavors. Currently, Okiku travels back and forth between Camp Drybone and Ishgard, where she has decided to settle her primary residence. Sami will come with her on occasion, but only very rarely. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''(PC) [[Aya Numi]]:''' At the age of 10, Sami first met the magenta-eyed scholar Aya Numi. The two quickly became good friends - or at least, Sami thought so - as Sami helped Aya to better understand the layout of the land. Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea... until an unforseen circumstance led to the young Miqo'te fleeing her friend in fear. Since then, Sami has not heard one word from the silver-haired young woman, and despite feigning sadness at the loss of such a friend, one could very easily catch the glimmer of relief in Sami's eyes if they were to ask about the woman's disappearance. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''(PC) [[W'khael Tia]]:''' Khael joined Aya Numi's travelling research group not very long after Sami did. As he was the exact same age as her - and, not to mention, also a Miqo'te - the two became uncannily good friends. Khael was very protective of the young girl, especially around anything that he deemed dangerous, and he was more than happy to assist her conjury training with his own personal training. Bearing the same eyes and russet fur as Sami, the two could easily have been mistaken for siblings, had they not been from different tribes. When he was lost during the Calamity, he was the only one over whom Sami legitimately cried. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''(Non-PC) Agian:''' A thaumaturge of unknown power, Agian's past is just as much a mystery as Aya's. Bearing a strikingly similar color of silver hair to the woman, however, Sami had always assumed the two to be related. Agian always seemed to be bothered by Sami's presence, though he tolerated her... until Aya accepted her into the group. He then treated her as though she wasn't really there, though her innocence did seem to break through to him on one or two occasions, as he would occasionally step in to correct her conjury forms. His whereabouts and status are, as with Aya and W'khael, unknown, and he is assumed to be deceased. ((And before you ask, yes, his name stems from the mistyping of the word 'again', but we're going to ignore that.)) <br />

His full name is unknown. He will follow Sami around to most places, and is her partner in crime, ever since she rescued him after the Calamity and nursed him back to health. He is very defensive of her, and recently, he's become very tense, which was what first led Sami to believe that something wasn't quite right in the 81st's House. <br />

<br />
===Dislikes===<br />

* People who talk down to her <br />
* Anyone/thing that hurts nature <br />
* Overly strict commands/rules <br />
* Those who indulge in the Darkness <br />
* Yarzons, oh gods why do those exist <br />
<br />
===Strengths===<br />
* Her conjury<br />
* Her use of arcanima<br />
* Her knowledge <br />
* Her ability to be charming to most people<br />
* Her very approachable demeanor<br />
* Her ability to follow orders<br />
* Her protection spells; almost every event she's been to, she hasn't been hit a single Time, and has also been able to successfully protect other characters (who I may or may not have been NPCing). <br />
<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
* Her dislike of anything ''too'' strict<br />
* Her penchant for wandering into danger in the pursuit of knowledge<br />
* Her innocent demeanor; she is not overly naive, but her hope that all people have good in them can easily lead her into dangerous situations<br />
* Her land magic; despite being a conjurer, stone spells are her weakest, on account of being her strongest. They become too powerful for her to control; if you see her use stone spells, chances are that they're going to fizzle. This may be because her carefree demeanor is the opposite of the land's strength (thank you, Avatar), or possibly because she hasn't practiced with them the most. <br />
* Dyslexia, when reading the Eorzean language. It's so severe that she might mistake a Danger sign for a Welcome sign.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion===<br />
Sami is not very religious herself, though a few questions would reveal that she very much believes in the existence of gods, as well as good and evil. She has no main patron deity who she prays to above all else, though Okiku's travels around Ishgard have left her referencing Halone more often than the other gods. <br />
===Quirks===<br />
* If you have a pet, arcanima or otherwise, she'll probably greet it before she greets you. <br />
* She gets annoyed if somebody blatantly disregards nature, so watch out if you smash into something (She'll probably easily borrow a certain character's line of 'Don't step on the flowers!'). <br />
* Despite being mainly a conjurer, if you were to offer information about any sort of dark art, expect her to become immediately interested. She herself wouldn't dabble in such arts, but will lap up any information given on it. <br />
* She will often treat inanimate objects as living things - and non-sentient beings as sentient - whether or not they actually are/have ever been alive. This is a quirk she picked up from W'khael, who told her that all things have feelings. It isn't terribly pervasive, but it will often come up whenever she becomes a wallflower in a situation! So far, we've already had her dancing with her pet rat Rata, and fighting a beach chair for dominance. <br />
* Don't ever accept cookies or brownies from her; you'll probably end up seeing unicorns. <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Sami from:<br />
<br />
* The Coffer and Coffin<br />
* Anywhere around Drybone (both the Camp and the area) <br />
* Ul'dah, and particularly The Quicksand (what better place to find new stories?) <br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
I play on Balmung as Sami Molkoh (an accidental typo that I'm too lazy to change, so I worked it into her storyline), and am on quite often. If you ever want to roleplay for any reason - perhaps you have some dark knowledge that you're dying to share, or you just need another friend - feel free to message me! <br />
As it stands, Sami is not currently looking for a relationship (but we'll see what happens, now that she's rping with more people!) and I don't ERP with her, so apologies for that. But if it's for anything else, message me any Time at all!</div>Aya Numihttps://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/index.php?title=File:Awesome_Sami.jpg&diff=189221File:Awesome Sami.jpg2016-08-01T00:36:39Z<p>Aya Numi: </p>

==Appearance==<br />
Sami is a young Miqo'te with lightly tanned skin, silvery-blue eyes, and russet hair that has been outlined with a fiery orange. She has markings that frame the sides of her face, and often wears very light make-up (which is much more a product of boredom than an attempt to show herself off). <br />
She can be seen in several different outfits depending on where she is, but most often wears a white top paired with black leather jeans and boots. She is also always seen with a scarf accentuated with a smooth white jewel, no matter the temperature; even if she's wearing a jacket, you can be sure that it's underneath, safe and sound. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Sami - whose real name is S'ami Malkoh - had a relatively straightforward past until she reached the age of ten, at which point she met the travelling scholars Aya Numi and Agian. Unfamiliar with the land, the silver-haired woman asked Sami's aid in navigating it, and the two grew relatively close over the course of the following year. <br /><br />
<br />
At the point of Aya's departure, Sami begged to come along, and Aya agreed to give her a trial, much to Agian's annoyance. Thus began the travels of the three across the land of Eorzea, where Sami was more than happy to help Aya in her studies, despite not knowing the full extent of just what she was researching. Aya helped Sami to train in the art of conjury, which the young Miqo'te found a love for very quickly. Impressed by the young Miqo'te's aptitude for the art, Aya gifted Sami with a silky scarf that had been accentuated by a smooth white jewel. This scarf seemed to greatly help Sami's skills, so she wore it with pride in their travels. <br /><br />
<br />
They picked up another Miqo'te not long after (by the name of W'khael Tia), who Sami immediately became good friends with. Despite being from another clan, Khael and Sami had a surprising amount in common, especially when it came to training, learning, and mercilessly pestering Agian. The four - three, with the begrudging Agian - became a rather close-knit group over the next few years... or so Sami thought. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center>{{Redacted}} </center><br /><br />
<br />
Now fearing for her life, the 18-year-old Miqo'te ran, escaped being stopped by W'khael, and hid in the vastness of the Thanalan desert, doing her best to avoid being found by the Amal'jaa, the animals, and most importantly, her own 'friends'. As she ran, though, she very soon became aware of something looming in the sky: Dalamud, as it made its fateful fall. <br /><br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Dazed, confused, and injured, Sami made no attempts to find her group in the following days, assuming them all to be dead. She instead holed up in a cavern, using conjury to heal her wounds slowly and as well as she could. Thanks to the power of the scarf that Aya had once given her - the only thing about the young woman that Sami now trusted - she was able to heal herself completely, with perhaps only a few small scars to show for her troubles. During this Time, she also discovered an orphaned rat pup who was near death. She nursed him back to health, often feeding him before herself. <br /><br />
<br />
After healing both her and the rat's wounds, Sami very quickly realized that they couldn't live in the cave alone for much longer, especially with such little available food and water. Wandering out every night with rat pup tucked away in her tattered robes, she eventually found her way back to Camp Drybone, where she came across somebody who she had found a friend in not too long past: Okiku Sarayashiki. The young Au Ra, having just lost a close friend, was more than happy to have the company, and the two set up in Camp Drybone, where Sami offered her conjury services to those passing through so that she may continue her research without the aid of her previous group. Okiku, at the age of 14, mistook the name 'S'ami Malkoh' to be the easier 'Sami Molkoh', and would always spell it as such, leading the Miqo'te herself to begin using the nickname as her real name. <br /><br />
<br />
The two lived in Drybone for years, until 19-year-old Okiku finally was able to get back into Ishgard again, where she now regularly travels. Occasionally, Sami will come with her on these trips, but never for more than a few days at a Time. Otherwise, she'll stay at Drybone on her own, where she continues her research to this day, on arcanima, Eorzea, and a much more unexpected topic... <br /><br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
Recently, Sami and Okiku have joined the Maelstrom's 81st Levy. Sami, after settling in, has started lending her conjury abilities to the group in what ways she can. Mostly, this has been naught much else than joining in on some beach-going fun, and watching the others train on the beach. However, during the 81st's Hatching Tide celebration... that all changed. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center>{{Redacted}} </center> <br /> <br />
<br />
Following the success of her first training mission, Sami came across something rather unusual resting against her bedroom door: a brilliantly metalworked staff just as dangerous with its points as with its potency, with what seems to be a polished amethyst in the head's core. The entire thing seems to be built around condensed aether in the form of a crystal shaft, and, unlike previous staves that the Miqo'te has used, this one seems to have been crafted specifically for her. A gift from one of her teammates, perhaps? Possible, but she isn't so sure. Regardless of the staff's origins, Sami can't wait to see how this staff will help her, now that she has an object through which she can actually work more easily. <br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Sami is a very peppy, well-spoken Miqo'te with a penchant for conjury, though one wouldn't know it by looking at her. She's often very friendly to anybody - anybody - who she meets, though a bit of careful attention would reveal that she's not so quick to trust anybody.<br /><br />
<br />
Sami has a great love for knowledge and, specifically, the summoning of carbuncles; she's likely to spend more Time talking to an arcanist's pet than the actual person. In fact, animals typically garner her interest very quickly, as does any part of nature itself.<br /><br />

<br />
It should probably be noted that Sami his incredibly dyslexic when it comes to reading the Eorzean language. She can read it, but only with great help, and often requires help to read things that children would understand. The reason for this is, currently, unknown, though if you pester her about it, she'll probably just tell you outright. <br /><br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
I play on Balmung as Sami Molkoh (an accidental typo that I'm too lazy to change, so I worked it into her storyline), and am on quite often. If you ever want to roleplay for any reason - perhaps you have some dark knowledge that you're dying to share, or you just need another friend - feel free to message me! <br />
As it stands, Sami is not currently looking for a relationship (but we'll see what happens, now that she's rping with more people!) and I don't ERP with her, so apologies for that. But if it's for anything else, message me any Time at all!</div>Aya Numihttps://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/index.php?title=File:Sami.png&diff=189213File:Sami.png2016-07-31T22:36:40Z<p>Aya Numi: </p>

==Appearance==<br />
Sami is a young Miqo'te with lightly tanned skin, silvery-blue eyes, and russet hair that has been outlined with a fiery orange. She has markings that frame the sides of her face, and often wears very light make-up (which is much more a product of boredom than an attempt to show herself off). <br />
She can be seen in several different outfits depending on where she is, but most often wears a white top paired with black leather jeans and boots. She is also always seen with a scarf accentuated with a smooth white jewel, no matter the temperature; even if she's wearing a jacket, you can be sure that it's underneath, safe and sound. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Sami - whose real name is S'ami Malkoh - had a relatively straightforward past until she reached the age of ten, at which point she met the travelling scholars Aya Numi and Agian. Unfamiliar with the land, the silver-haired woman asked Sami's aid in navigating it, and the two grew relatively close over the course of the following year. <br /><br />
<br />
At the point of Aya's departure, Sami begged to come along, and Aya agreed to give her a trial, much to Agian's annoyance. Thus began the travels of the three across the land of Eorzea, where Sami was more than happy to help Aya in her studies, despite not knowing the full extent of just what she was researching. Aya helped Sami to train in the art of conjury, which the young Miqo'te found a love for very quickly. Impressed by the young Miqo'te's aptitude for the art, Aya gifted Sami with a silky scarf that had been accentuated by a smooth white jewel. This scarf seemed to greatly help Sami's skills, so she wore it with pride in their travels. <br /><br />
<br />
They picked up another Miqo'te not long after (by the name of W'khael Tia), who Sami immediately became good friends with. Despite being from another clan, Khael and Sami had a surprising amount in common, especially when it came to training, learning, and mercilessly pestering Agian. The four - three, with the begrudging Agian - became a rather close-knit group over the next few years... or so Sami thought. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center>{{Redacted}} </center><br /><br />
<br />
Now fearing for her life, the 18-year-old Miqo'te ran, escaped being stopped by W'khael, and hid in the vastness of the Thanalan desert, doing her best to avoid being found by the Amal'jaa, the animals, and most importantly, her own 'friends'. As she ran, though, she very soon became aware of something looming in the sky: Dalamud, as it made its fateful fall. <br /><br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Dazed, confused, and injured, Sami made no attempts to find her group in the following days, assuming them all to be dead. She instead holed up in a cavern, using conjury to heal her wounds slowly and as well as she could. Thanks to the power of the scarf that Aya had once given her - the only thing about the young woman that Sami now trusted - she was able to heal herself completely, with perhaps only a few small scars to show for her troubles. During this Time, she also discovered an orphaned rat pup who was near death. She nursed him back to health, often feeding him before herself. <br /><br />
<br />
After healing both her and the rat's wounds, Sami very quickly realized that they couldn't live in the cave alone for much longer, especially with such little available food and water. Wandering out every night with rat pup tucked away in her tattered robes, she eventually found her way back to Camp Drybone, where she came across somebody who she had found a friend in not too long past: Okiku Sarayashiki. The young Au Ra, having just lost a close friend, was more than happy to have the company, and the two set up in Camp Drybone, where Sami offered her conjury services to those passing through so that she may continue her research without the aid of her previous group. Okiku, at the age of 14, mistook the name 'S'ami Malkoh' to be the easier 'Sami Molkoh', and would always spell it as such, leading the Miqo'te herself to begin using the nickname as her real name. <br /><br />
<br />
The two lived in Drybone for years, until 19-year-old Okiku finally was able to get back into Ishgard again, where she now regularly travels. Occasionally, Sami will come with her on these trips, but never for more than a few days at a Time. Otherwise, she'll stay at Drybone on her own, where she continues her research to this day, on arcanima, Eorzea, and a much more unexpected topic... <br /><br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
Recently, Sami and Okiku have joined the Maelstrom's 81st Levy. Sami, after settling in, has started lending her conjury abilities to the group in what ways she can. Mostly, this has been naught much else than joining in on some beach-going fun, and watching the others train on the beach. However, during the 81st's Hatching Tide celebration... that all changed. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center>{{Redacted}} </center> <br /> <br />
<br />
Following the success of her first training mission, Sami came across something rather unusual resting against her bedroom door: a brilliantly metalworked staff just as dangerous with its points as with its potency, with what seems to be a polished amethyst in the head's core. The entire thing seems to be built around condensed aether in the form of a crystal shaft, and, unlike previous staves that the Miqo'te has used, this one seems to have been crafted specifically for her. A gift from one of her teammates, perhaps? Possible, but she isn't so sure. Regardless of the staff's origins, Sami can't wait to see how this staff will help her, now that she has an object through which she can actually work more easily. <br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Sami is a very peppy, well-spoken Miqo'te with a penchant for conjury, though one wouldn't know it by looking at her. She's often very friendly to anybody - anybody - who she meets, though a bit of careful attention would reveal that she's not so quick to trust anybody.<br /><br />
<br />
Sami has a great love for knowledge and, specifically, the summoning of carbuncles; she's likely to spend more Time talking to an arcanist's pet than the actual person. In fact, animals typically garner her interest very quickly, as does any part of nature itself.<br /><br />
<br />
Despite her happy-go-lucky nature, Sami isn't interested only in the power of friendship and love; if you were to bring up something regarding the dark arts, she'd be completely rapt, though it's obvious that she herself has no wish to dabble in such arts.<br /><br />
<br />
It should probably be noted that Sami his incredibly dyslexic when it comes to reading the Eorzean language. She can read it, but only with great help, and often requires help to read things that children would understand. The reason for this is, currently, unknown, though if you pester her about it, she'll probably just tell you outright. <br /><br />
<br />
Because of her never-ending search for knowledge, though, she's quick to disregard danger, so watch out; following her anywhere will often end in some sort of encounter, or at the very least, a few annoyed squirrels.<br />

*<font style="color:#33ff22;" size="3">●</font> '''(PC) [[Okiku Sarayashiki]]:''' After the Calamity, Sami soon ran into the young Au Ra, Okiku. With the former only barely recovered from injuries and the latter having lost a friend during Dalamud's Fall, they formed a quick friendship, and both ran to recover in the nearby Camp Drybone. Over the next five years, the two have aided each other in their own endeavors. Currently, Okiku travels back and forth between Camp Drybone and Ishgard, where she has decided to settle her primary residence. Sami will come with her on occasion, but only very rarely. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''(PC) [[Aya Numi]]:''' At the age of 10, Sami first met the magenta-eyed scholar Aya Numi. The two quickly became good friends - or at least, Sami thought so - as Sami helped Aya to better understand the layout of the land. Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea... until an unforseen circumstance led to the young Miqo'te fleeing her friend in fear. Since then, Sami has not heard one word from the silver-haired young woman, and despite feigning sadness at the loss of such a friend, one could very easily catch the glimmer of relief in Sami's eyes if they were to ask about the woman's disappearance. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''(PC) [[W'khael Tia]]:''' Khael joined Aya Numi's travelling research group not very long after Sami did. As he was the exact same age as her - and, not to mention, also a Miqo'te - the two became uncannily good friends. Khael was very protective of the young girl, especially around anything that he deemed dangerous, and he was more than happy to assist her conjury training with his own personal training. Bearing the same eyes and russet fur as Sami, the two could easily have been mistaken for siblings, had they not been from different tribes. When he was lost during the Calamity, he was the only one over whom Sami legitimately cried. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''(Non-PC) Agian:''' A thaumaturge of unknown power, Agian's past is just as much a mystery as Aya's. Bearing a strikingly similar color of silver hair to the woman, however, Sami had always assumed the two to be related. Agian always seemed to be bothered by Sami's presence, though he tolerated her... until Aya accepted her into the group. He then treated her as though she wasn't really there, though her innocence did seem to break through to him on one or two occasions, as he would occasionally step in to correct her conjury forms. His whereabouts and status are, as with Aya and W'khael, unknown, and he is assumed to be deceased. ((And before you ask, yes, his name stems from the mistyping of the word 'again', but we're going to ignore that.)) <br />

His full name is unknown. He will follow Sami around to most places, and is her partner in crime, ever since she rescued him after the Calamity and nursed him back to health. He is very defensive of her, and recently, he's become very tense, which was what first led Sami to believe that something wasn't quite right in the 81st's House. <br />

<br />
===Likes===<br />
* Animals <br />
* Nature <br />
* Knowledge <br />
* Friendly people <br />
* Arcanima <br />
* Honesty, above all else <br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
* Dishonesty <br />
* People who talk down to her <br />
* Anyone/thing that hurts nature <br />
* Overly strict commands/rules <br />
* Those who indulge in the Darkness <br />
* Yarzons, oh gods why do those exist <br />
<br />
===Strengths===<br />
* Her conjury<br />
* Her use of arcanima<br />
* Her knowledge <br />
* Her ability to be charming to most people<br />
* Her very approachable demeanor<br />
* Her ability to follow orders<br />
* Her protection spells; almost every event she's been to, she hasn't been hit a single Time, and has also been able to successfully protect other characters (who I may or may not have been NPCing). <br />
<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
* Her dislike of anything ''too'' strict<br />
* Her penchant for wandering into danger in the pursuit of knowledge<br />
* Her innocent demeanor; she is not overly naive, but her hope that all people have good in them can easily lead her into dangerous situations<br />
* Her land magic; despite being a conjurer, stone spells are her weakest, on account of being her strongest. They become too powerful for her to control; if you see her use stone spells, chances are that they're going to fizzle. This may be because her carefree demeanor is the opposite of the land's strength (thank you, Avatar), or possibly because she hasn't practiced with them the most. <br />
* Dyslexia, when reading the Eorzean language. It's so severe that she might mistake a Danger sign for a Welcome sign.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion===<br />
Sami is not very religious herself, though a few questions would reveal that she very much believes in the existence of gods, as well as good and evil. She has no main patron deity who she prays to above all else, though Okiku's travels around Ishgard have left her referencing Halone more often than the other gods. <br />
===Quirks===<br />
* If you have a pet, arcanima or otherwise, she'll probably greet it before she greets you. <br />
* She gets annoyed if somebody blatantly disregards nature, so watch out if you smash into something (She'll probably easily borrow a certain character's line of 'Don't step on the flowers!'). <br />
* Despite being mainly a conjurer, if you were to offer information about any sort of dark art, expect her to become immediately interested. She herself wouldn't dabble in such arts, but will lap up any information given on it. <br />
* She will often treat inanimate objects as living things - and non-sentient beings as sentient - whether or not they actually are/have ever been alive. This is a quirk she picked up from W'khael, who told her that all things have feelings. It isn't terribly pervasive, but it will often come up whenever she becomes a wallflower in a situation! So far, we've already had her dancing with her pet rat Rata, and fighting a beach chair for dominance. <br />
* Don't ever accept cookies or brownies from her; you'll probably end up seeing unicorns. <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Sami from:<br />
<br />
* The Coffer and Coffin<br />
* Anywhere around Drybone (both the Camp and the area) <br />
* Ul'dah, and particularly The Quicksand (what better place to find new stories?) <br />

<center>'''''If you roleplay with Sami Molkoh or W'khael Tia, there are spoilers below!!'''''</center><br /><br />
<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Aya holds the appearance of a Hyuran woman no older than perhaps her early twenties. Despite this fact, her hair is silver, typically kept either shoulder-length or long. Her eyes would be described as a stark magenta. She also bears pale skin, and black tribal-like markings on her shoulders, down her back, and down her sides. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>{{redacted}}</center><br /><br />
Around two years after her arrival in Eorzea (eight years prior to the Calamity), Aya and her companion (a thaumaturge by the name of Agian) began making a name for themselves in some of the more hush hush knowledge circles around Eorzea. They sought knowledge of the realm, and were obviously not from Eorzea itself, though their accents weren't recognizable as some of the more common realms around Hydaelyn. This led quickly to rumors that they were Sharlayan scholars, which they never refuted nor supported. <br /><br />
<br />
Before long, the two silver-haired magic users found their way to the home of the S tribe. They surveyed the land on their own for a while, but before long, Aya decided to recruit another into their group, much to Agian's annoyance. So, knowing full well her story, Aya recruited the 'help' of the young Miqo'te S'ami. The peppy young girl was more than ecstatic to aid Aya's fieldwork, and not long after such fieldwork was completed, the young girl begged to be brought along. Agian was obviously displeased when Aya agreed to bring her along (but he's just an NPC, so he never gets his way). Regardless, he eventually agreed with reluctance, and so the trio continued their journeys. Both Aya and Agian helped the Miqo'te learn conjury, while Aya gave her a silk scarf bearing the soul of a White Mage to help her training along. <br /><br />
<br />
During the next year, Aya followed several aetheric traces, and soon found another Miqo'te to add to her collection, the young boy W'khael. Despite being of a different tribe, he bore a startling resemblance to S'ami, and the two quickly hit it off. Aya allowed him, too, into the group, and began training him as a rogue. <br /><br />
<br />
<center> {{redacted}} </center><br /><br />
{{Spoiler|Sami/Khael's group, if you roleplay with either of them}} <br />
After the Calamity, Aya decided to let S'ami run until she got a hold of her own bearings; she knew that the Miqo'te was alive, and that being alone would greatly increase her powers in conjury, so the scholar turned her attention back to the two who yet stayed with her. <br /> <br />
<br />
Not willing to tell the young W'khael what had ''actually'' happened with his friend, Aya told him that S'ami had disappeared, and that, while she didn't assume her to be dead, they couldn't assume that she was alive. Instead, she told him, it would be best for the three of them to figure out their own placement in this newly terraformed realm. Reluctantly, he agreed, which led them to continue travelling about, intertwining with several well-known NPCs. <br /><br />
<br />
Eventually, Aya enraptured more of a following. She made her presence known only in key places, and eventually made her way through the ranks of a scholar society known as the KLK. Before long, she had wormed her way to the top, with her two previous companions by her side, along with many new ones to support her. The group currently holds an inconspicuous manor in The Goblet ((though, there's recently been talk of putting a Mogwall on the house, uh... inconspicuously conspicuous?)) and travels the realm, consolidating knowledge and keeping it close to their own chests. Aya makes certain to keep the group rather hidden from outside sources, but their name bears tremendous weight whenever they want something. <br /> <br />
<br />
Most recently, Aya has heard word that young S'ami has secured a place amongst the 81st Levy. Curious, she's sent W'khael to check up on the rumors, and awaits his reports. Other than that, she can typically be found amongst the tomes of the KLK's manor, with Agian sitting faithfully by her side... <br />
{{end-spoiler}}<br />
==Personality==<br />
Aya is the opposite of many stoic-type archetypes, in that she's very - even overly - friendly with people she doesn't know. If it's your first Time meeting her, she'll either give off one or two auras: very withheld, or very peppy, to the point that every word is accompanied by a happy smile ((she's even been known to curl into a ball and roll down the staircase as a potato, before; no, they didn't kick me out, I was welcomed as I am)). <br /><br />
<br />
However, most people aren't likely to know Aya well at all, because she tends to keep people at an arms-length, even when giving the illusion that she's your best friend. The only one who she's genuine with is Agian; even W'Khael is only so privy to her personality. Underneath her peppiness, she's very calm, collected, cold, callous, and calculating. This is possibly due to her having to focus most of her energy and mental state on tracing through the KLK's collected knowledge, as well as leading the group; it often leaves her little Time to show anything other than her calm side. Even so, she's never rude or malicious, even when alone with Agian.<br /><br />

==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion===<br />
Aya does not display any obvious idea of religion, but treats the gods as though they certainly exist.

Not being from Eorzea, chances are that her knowledge of the Eorzean deities is somewhat limited. <br />

* She will occasionally potato down the stairs; it's best not to question it.<br />
* If she feels comfortable with you, chances are that she'll lob a few playfully jabbing comments at you; feel free to throw some back! She loves a good back-and-forth. <br />
* She will often spend entire sessions just watching other people's interactions. If this happens, don't assume that she's bored! In fact, it may be quite the opposite; she may just be so enamored with your conversation that she doesn't want to intrude. <br />
* She will, 93% of the Time, have her pet red panda with her. <br />

<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Aya holds the appearance of a Hyuran woman no older than perhaps her early twenties. Despite this fact, her hair is silver, typically kept either shoulder-length or long. Her eyes would be described as a stark magenta. She also bears pale skin, and black tribal-like markings on her shoulders, down her back, and down her sides. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>{{redacted}}</center><br /><br />
Around two years after her arrival in Eorzea (eight years prior to the Calamity), Aya and her companion (a thaumaturge by the name of Agian) began making a name for themselves in some of the more hush hush knowledge circles around Eorzea. They sought knowledge of the realm, and were obviously not from Eorzea itself, though their accents weren't recognizable as some of the more common realms around Hydaelyn. This led quickly to rumors that they were Sharlayan scholars, which they never refuted nor supported. <br /><br />
<br />
Before long, the two silver-haired magic users found their way to the home of the S tribe. They surveyed the land on their own for a while, but before long, Aya decided to recruit another into their group, much to Agian's annoyance. So, knowing full well her story, Aya recruited the 'help' of the young Miqo'te S'ami. The peppy young girl was more than ecstatic to aid Aya's fieldwork, and not long after such fieldwork was completed, the young girl begged to be brought along. Agian was obviously displeased when Aya agreed to bring her along (but he's just an NPC, so he never gets his way). Regardless, he eventually agreed with reluctance, and so the trio continued their journeys. Both Aya and Agian helped the Miqo'te learn conjury, while Aya gave her a silk scarf bearing the soul of a White Mage to help her training along. <br /><br />
<br />
During the next year, Aya followed several aetheric traces, and soon found another Miqo'te to add to her collection, the young boy W'khael. Despite being of a different tribe, he bore a startling resemblance to S'ami, and the two quickly hit it off. Aya allowed him, too, into the group, and began training him as a rogue. <br /><br />
<br />
<center> {{redacted}} </center><br /><br />
{{Spoiler|Sami/Khael's group, if you roleplay with either of them}} <br />
After the Calamity, Aya decided to let S'ami run until she got a hold of her own bearings; she knew that the Miqo'te was alive, and that being alone would greatly increase her powers in conjury, so the scholar turned her attention back to the two who yet stayed with her. <br /> <br />
<br />
Not willing to tell the young W'khael what had ''actually'' happened with his friend, Aya told him that S'ami had disappeared, and that, while she didn't assume her to be dead, they couldn't assume that she was alive. Instead, she told him, it would be best for the three of them to figure out their own placement in this newly terraformed realm. Reluctantly, he agreed, which led them to continue travelling about, intertwining with several well-known NPCs. <br /><br />
<br />
Eventually, Aya enraptured more of a following. She made her presence known only in key places, and eventually made her way through the ranks of a scholar society known as the KLK. Before long, she had wormed her way to the top, with her two previous companions by her side, along with many new ones to support her. The group currently holds an inconspicuous manor in The Goblet ((though, there's recently been talk of putting a Mogwall on the house, uh... inconspicuously conspicuous?)) and travels the realm, consolidating knowledge and keeping it close to their own chests. Aya makes certain to keep the group rather hidden from outside sources, but their name bears tremendous weight whenever they want something. <br /> <br />
<br />
Most recently, Aya has heard word that young S'ami has secured a place amongst the 81st Levy. Curious, she's sent W'khael to check up on the rumors, and awaits his reports. Other than that, she can typically be found amongst the tomes of the KLK's manor, which Agian sitting faithfully by her side... <br />
{{end-spoiler}}<br />
==Personality==<br />
Aya is the opposite of many stoic-type archetypes, in that she's very - even overly - friendly with people she doesn't know. If it's your first Time meeting her, she'll either give off one or two auras: very withheld, or very peppy, to the point that every word is accompanied by a happy smile ((she's even been known to curl into a ball and roll down the staircase as a potato, before; no, they didn't kick me out, I was welcomed as I am)). <br /><br />
<br />
However, most people aren't likely to know Aya well at all, because she tends to keep people at an arms-length, even when giving the illusion that she's your best friend. The only one who she's genuine with is Agian; even W'Khael is only so privy to her personality. Underneath her peppiness, she's very calm, collected, cold, callous, and calculating. This is possibly due to her having to focus most of her energy and mental state on tracing through the KLK's collected knowledge, as well as leading the group; it often leaves her little Time to show anything other than her calm side. Even so, she's never rude or malicious, even when alone with Agian.<br /><br />

Aya does not display any obvious idea of religion, but treats the gods as though they certainly exist.

<center>'''''If you roleplay with Sami Molkoh or W'khael Tia, there are spoilers below!!'''''</center><br /><br />
<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Aya holds the appearance of a Hyuran woman no older than perhaps her early twenties. Despite this fact, her hair is silver, typically kept either shoulder-length or long. Her eyes would be described as a stark magenta. She also bears pale skin, and black tribal-like markings on her shoulders, down her back, and down her sides. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>{{redacted}}</center><br /><br />
Around two years after her arrival in Eorzea (eight years prior to the Calamity), Aya and her companion (a thaumaturge by the name of Agian) began making a name for themselves in some of the more hush hush knowledge circles around Eorzea. They sought knowledge of the realm, and were obviously not from Eorzea itself, though their accents weren't recognizable as some of the more common realms around Hydaelyn. This led quickly to rumors that they were Sharlayan scholars, which they never refuted nor supported. <br /><br />
<br />
Before long, the two silver-haired magic users found their way to the home of the S tribe. They surveyed the land on their own for a while, but before long, Aya decided to recruit another into their group, much to Agian's annoyance. So, knowing full well her story, Aya recruited the 'help' of the young Miqo'te S'ami. The peppy young girl was more than ecstatic to aid Aya's fieldwork, and not long after such fieldwork was completed, the young girl begged to be brought along. Agian was obviously displeased when Aya agreed to bring her along (but he's just an NPC, so he never gets his way). Regardless, he eventually agreed with reluctance, and so the trio continued their journeys. Both Aya and Agian helped the Miqo'te learn conjury, while Aya gave her an enhanced silk scarf to help her training along. <br /><br />
<br />
During the next year, Aya followed several aetheric traces, and soon found another Miqo'te to add to her collection, the young boy W'khael. Despite being of a different tribe, he bore a startling resemblance to S'ami, and the two quickly hit it off. Aya allowed him, too, into the group, and began training him as a Machinist. <br /><br />
<br />
<center> {{redacted}} </center><br /><br />
{{Spoiler|Sami/Khael's group, if you roleplay with either of them}} <br />
After the Calamity, Aya decided to let S'ami run until she got a hold of her own bearings; she knew that the Miqo'te was alive, and that being alone would greatly increase her powers in conjury, so the scholar turned her attention back to the two who yet stayed with her. <br /> <br />
<br />
Not willing to tell the young W'khael what had ''actually'' happened with his friend, Aya told him that S'ami had disappeared, and that, while she didn't assume her to be dead, they couldn't assume that she was alive. Instead, she told him, it would be best for the three of them to figure out their own placement in this newly terraformed realm. Reluctantly, he agreed, which led them to continue travelling about, intertwining with several well-known NPCs. <br /><br />
<br />
Eventually, Aya enraptured more of a following. She made her presence known only in key places, and eventually made her way through the ranks of a scholar society known as the KLK. Before long, she had wormed her way to the top, with her two previous companions by her side, along with many new ones to support her. The group currently holds an inconspicuous manor in The Goblet ((though, there's recently been talk of putting a Mogwall on the house, uh... inconspicuously conspicuous?)) and travels the realm, consolidating knowledge and keeping it close to their own chests. Aya makes certain to keep the group rather hidden from outside sources, but their name bears tremendous weight whenever they want something. <br /> <br />
<br />
Most recently, Aya has heard word that young S'ami has secured a place amongst the 81st Levy. Curious, she's sent W'khael to check up on the rumors, and awaits his reports. Other than that, she can typically be found amongst the tomes of the KLK's manor, which Agian sitting faithfully by her side... <br />
{{end-spoiler}}<br />
==Personality==<br />
Aya is the opposite of many stoic-type archetypes, in that she's very - even overly - friendly with people she doesn't know. If it's your first Time meeting her, she'll either give off one or two auras: very withheld, or very peppy, to the point that every word is accompanied by a happy smile ((she's even been known to curl into a ball and roll down the staircase as a potato, before; no, they didn't kick me out, I was welcomed as I am)). <br /><br />
<br />
However, most people aren't likely to know Aya well at all, because she tends to keep people at an arms-length, even when giving the illusion that she's your best friend. The only one who she's genuine with is Agian; even W'Khael is only so privy to her personality. Underneath her peppiness, she's very calm, collected, cold, callous, and calculating. This is possibly due to her having to focus most of her energy and mental state on tracing through the KLK's collected knowledge, as well as leading the group; it often leaves her little Time to show anything other than her calm side. Even so, she's never rude or malicious, even when alone with Agian.<br /><br />

Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea... until an unforseen circumstance led to the young Miqo'te fleeing her friend in fear. Since then, S'ami - now known as simply 'Sami' - has made her home in Drybone, continuing research on her own Time. <br />

Aya and Agian trained him as a Machinist, and his abilities have only grown since the Calamity. He's very loyal to Aya, and now that he's aware S'ami is alive, he likely thinks that she abandoned them. Still, having been good friends with her, he doesn't want to believe this, so Aya has sent him to find out. <br />

When they left, it wasn't long before Aya discovered young Lain hiding amongst their things. Rather than throwing him back, though, she took him with, and has been mentoring the young Hyur... while also proving on several occasions that she won't put up with his haughty attitude. She'll occasionally take him along on some of her solo missions, as his ability to masquerade as a pretty young girl has come in handy... numerous Times. <br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
This is my only character still on the realm of Jenova, and due to my current leadership position in the KLK FC and my invaluable friends on this server, I'm not at liberty to transfer to Balmung any Time soon (hence why I had to remove her from S'ami's story!). There's a chance that I may recreate her on Balmung at some Time, but it may be a while before I do that (because gods, that realm and its open Times...). <br /><br />
However, if you're on Jenova, feel free to send me a PM or message! I'm always looking for other roleplayers on this realm!</div>Aya Numihttps://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/index.php?title=Sami_Molkoh&diff=178015Sami Molkoh2016-05-26T04:04:03Z<p>Aya Numi: </p>

<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Sami is a young Miqo'te with lightly tanned skin, silvery-blue eyes, and russet hair that has been outlined with a fiery orange. She has markings that frame the sides of her face, and often wears very light make-up (which is much more a product of boredom than an attempt to show herself off). <br />
She can be seen in several different outfits depending on where she is, but most often wears a white top paired with black leather jeans and boots. She is also always seen with a scarf accentuated with a smooth white jewel, no matter the temperature; even if she's wearing a jacket, you can be sure that it's underneath, safe and sound. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Sami - whose real name is S'ami Malkoh - had a relatively straightforward past until she reached the age of ten, at which point she met the travelling scholars Aya Numi and Agian. Unfamiliar with the land, the silver-haired woman asked Sami's aid in navigating it, and the two grew relatively close over the course of the following year. <br /><br />
<br />
At the point of Aya's departure, Sami begged to come along, and Aya agreed to give her a trial, much to Agian's annoyance. Thus began the travels of the three across the land of Eorzea, where Sami was more than happy to help Aya in her studies, despite not knowing the full extent of just what she was researching. Aya helped Sami to train in the art of conjury, which the young Miqo'te found a love for very quickly. Impressed by the young Miqo'te's aptitude for the art, Aya gifted Sami with a silky scarf that had been accentuated by a smooth white jewel. This scarf seemed to greatly help Sami's skills, so she wore it with pride in their travels. <br /><br />
<br />
They picked up another Miqo'te not long after (by the name of W'khael Tia), who Sami immediately became good friends with. Despite being from another clan, Khael and Sami had a surprising amount in common, especially when it came to training, learning, and mercilessly pestering Agian. The four - three, with the begrudging Agian - became a rather close-knit group over the next few years... or so Sami thought. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center>{{Redacted}} </center><br /><br />
<br />
Now fearing for her life, the 18-year-old Miqo'te ran, escaped being stopped by W'khael, and hid in the vastness of the Thanalan desert, doing her best to avoid being found by the Amal'jaa, the animals, and most importantly, her own 'friends'. As she ran, though, she very soon became aware of something looming in the sky: Dalamud, as it made its fateful fall. <br /><br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Dazed, confused, and injured, Sami made no attempts to find her group in the following days, assuming them all to be dead. She instead holed up in a cavern, using conjury to heal her wounds slowly and as well as she could. Thanks to the power of the scarf that Aya had once given her - the only thing about the young woman that Sami now trusted - she was able to heal herself completely, with perhaps only a few small scars to show for her troubles. During this Time, she also discovered an orphaned rat pup who was near death. She nursed him back to health, often feeding him before herself. <br /><br />
<br />
After healing both her and the rat's wounds, Sami very quickly realized that they couldn't live in the cave alone for much longer, especially with such little available food and water. Wandering out every night with rat pup tucked away in her tattered robes, she eventually found her way back to Camp Drybone, where she came across somebody who she had found a friend in not too long past: Okiku Sarayashiki. The young Au Ra, having just lost a close friend, was more than happy to have the company, and the two set up in Camp Drybone, where Sami offered her conjury services to those passing through so that she may continue her research without the aid of her previous group. Okiku, at the age of 14, mistook the name 'S'ami Malkoh' to be the easier 'Sami Molkoh', and would always spell it as such, leading the Miqo'te herself to begin using the nickname as her real name. <br /><br />
<br />
The two lived in Drybone for years, until 19-year-old Okiku finally was able to get back into Ishgard again, where she now regularly travels. Occasionally, Sami will come with her on these trips, but never for more than a few days at a Time. Otherwise, she'll stay at Drybone on her own, where she continues her research to this day, on arcanima, Eorzea, and a much more unexpected topic... <br /><br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
Recently, Sami and Okiku have joined the Maelstrom's 81st Levy. Sami, after settling in, has started lending her conjury abilities to the group in what ways she can. Mostly, this has been naught much else than joining in on some beach-going fun, and watching the others train on the beach. However, during the 81st's Hatching Tide celebration... that all changed. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center>{{Redacted}} </center> <br /> <br />
<br />
Following the success of her first training mission, Sami came across something rather unusual resting against her bedroom door: a brilliantly metalworked staff just as dangerous with its points as with its potency, with what seems to be a polished amethyst in the head's core. The entire thing seems to be built around condensed aether in the form of a crystal shaft, and, unlike previous staves that the Miqo'te has used, this one seems to have been crafted specifically for her. A gift from one of her teammates, perhaps? Possible, but she isn't so sure. Regardless of the staff's origins, Sami can't wait to see how this staff will help her, now that she has an object through which she can actually work more easily. <br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Sami is a very peppy, well-spoken Miqo'te with a penchant for conjury, though one wouldn't know it by looking at her. She's often very friendly to anybody - anybody - who she meets, though a bit of careful attention would reveal that she's not so quick to trust anybody.<br /><br />
<br />
Sami has a great love for knowledge and, specifically, the summoning of carbuncles; she's likely to spend more Time talking to an arcanist's pet than the actual person. In fact, animals typically garner her interest very quickly, as does any part of nature itself.<br /><br />
<br />
Despite her happy-go-lucky nature, Sami isn't interested only in the power of friendship and love; if you were to bring up something regarding the dark arts, she'd be completely rapt, though it's obvious that she herself has no wish to dabble in such arts.<br /><br />
<br />
It should probably be noted that Sami his incredibly dyslexic when it comes to reading the Eorzean language. She can read it, but only with great help, and often requires help to read things that children would understand. The reason for this is, currently, unknown, though if you pester her about it, she'll probably just tell you outright. <br /><br />
<br />
Because of her never-ending search for knowledge, though, she's quick to disregard danger, so watch out; following her anywhere will often end in some sort of encounter, or at the very least, a few annoyed squirrels.<br />

Khael was very protective of the young girl, especially around anything that he deemed dangerous, and he was more than happy to assist her conjury training with his own personal training. Bearing the same eyes and russet fur as Sami, the two could easily have been mistaken for siblings, had they not been from different tribes. When he was lost during the Calamity, he was the only one over whom Sami legitimately cried. <br />

*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''(Non-PC) Agian:''' A thaumaturge of unknown power, Agian's past is just as much a mystery as Aya's. Bearing a strikingly similar color of silver hair to the woman, however, Sami had always assumed the two to be related. Agian always seemed to be bothered by Sami's presence, though he tolerated her... until Aya accepted her into the group. He then treated her as though she wasn't really there, though her innocence did seem to break through to him on one or two occasions, as he would occasionally step in to correct her conjury forms. His whereabouts and status are, as with Aya and W'khael, unknown, and he is assumed to be deceased. ((And before you ask, yes, his name stems from the mistyping of the word 'again', but we're going to ignore that.)) <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''Rata:''' Rata is Sami's pet rat! His full name is unknown. He will follow Sami around to most places, and is her partner in crime, ever since she rescued him after the Calamity and nursed him back to health. He is very defensive of her, and recently, he's become very tense, which was what first led Sami to believe that something wasn't quite right in the 81st's House. <br />

<br />
===Likes===<br />
* Animals <br />
* Nature <br />
* Knowledge <br />
* Friendly people <br />
* Arcanima <br />
* Honesty, above all else <br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
* Dishonesty <br />
* People who talk down to her <br />
* Anyone/thing that hurts nature <br />
* Overly strict commands/rules <br />
* Those who indulge in the Darkness <br />
* Yarzons, oh gods why do those exist <br />
<br />
===Strengths===<br />
* Her conjury<br />
* Her use of arcanima<br />
* Her knowledge <br />
* Her ability to be charming to most people<br />
* Her very approachable demeanor<br />
* Her ability to follow orders<br />
* Her protection spells; almost every event she's been to, she hasn't been hit a single Time, and has also been able to successfully protect other characters (who I may or may not have been NPCing). <br />
<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
* Her dislike of anything ''too'' strict<br />
* Her penchant for wandering into danger in the pursuit of knowledge<br />
* Her innocent demeanor; she is not overly naive, but her hope that all people have good in them can easily lead her into dangerous situations<br />
* Her land magic; despite being a conjurer, stone spells are her weakest, on account of being her strongest. They become too powerful for her to control; if you see her use stone spells, chances are that they're going to fizzle. This may be because her carefree demeanor is the opposite of the land's strength (thank you, Avatar), or possibly because she hasn't practiced with them the most. <br />
* Dyslexia, when reading the Eorzean language. It's so severe that she might mistake a Danger sign for a Welcome sign.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion===<br />
Sami is not very religious herself, though a few questions would reveal that she very much believes in the existence of gods, as well as good and evil. She has no main patron deity who she prays to above all else, though Okiku's travels around Ishgard have left her referencing Halone more often than the other gods. <br />
===Quirks===<br />
* If you have a pet, arcanima or otherwise, she'll probably greet it before she greets you. <br />
* She gets annoyed if somebody blatantly disregards nature, so watch out if you smash into something (She'll probably easily borrow a certain character's line of 'Don't step on the flowers!'). <br />
* Despite being mainly a conjurer, if you were to offer information about any sort of dark art, expect her to become immediately interested. She herself wouldn't dabble in such arts, but will lap up any information given on it. <br />
* She will often treat inanimate objects as living things - and non-sentient beings as sentient - whether or not they actually are/have ever been alive. This is a quirk she picked up from W'khael, who told her that all things have feelings. It isn't terribly pervasive, but it will often come up whenever she becomes a wallflower in a situation! So far, we've already had her dancing with her pet rat Rata, and fighting a beach chair for dominance. <br />
* Don't ever accept cookies or brownies from her; you'll probably end up seeing unicorns. <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Sami from:<br />
<br />
* The Coffer and Coffin<br />
* Anywhere around Drybone (both the Camp and the area) <br />
* Ul'dah, and particularly The Quicksand (what better place to find new stories?) <br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
I play on Balmung as Sami Molkoh (an accidental typo that I'm too lazy to change, so I worked it into her storyline), and am on quite often. If you ever want to roleplay for any reason - perhaps you have some dark knowledge that you're dying to share, or you just need another friend - feel free to message me! <br />
As it stands, Sami is not currently looking for a relationship (but we'll see what happens, now that she's rping with more people!) and I don't ERP with her, so apologies for that. But if it's for anything else, message me any Time at all!</div>Aya Numihttps://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/index.php?title=W%27khael_Tia&diff=177729W'khael Tia2016-05-24T07:27:11Z<p>Aya Numi: </p>

<center>'''''If you roleplay with Sami Molkoh, there are spoilers below!!'''''</center><br /><br />
==Appearance==<br />
Khael sports somewhat-tanned skin, silver eyes, and fiery hair that's been streaked with a burnt orange. He's rather tall, and tends to wear any clothing that's non-restrictive. He rarely carries any visible weapons, but always seems to be able to pull a knife or small pistol from sheer air. <br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Pre-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Khael had a rather happy childhood, despite displaying signs of an anxious and callous nature from early on. For whatever reason, though he was able to somewhat sense aetherial traces, he spent much of his early years learning to ignore this, and training to become a hunter. He was raised by his tribe until he was about fifteen, at which point he was recruited by the travelling scholar Aya Numi and her companions, Agian and S'ami Malkoh. The fact that the female miqo'te is a Keeper confused him, though, because of her name, but he just assumed that it was an unusual naming convention, so he brushed it off. He left with the group when they departed, enamored with their research and hoping to learn a thing or two from the group, despite the fact that he's too afraid of using magick to ever dabble in it. The group seemed interested in him, but S'ami, more than anyone, had her curiosity piqued by him.<br /><br />
<br />
Sure enough, the group helped Khael further his melee abilities, most specifically with knives. Aya was careful about how much she taught him, but by the coming of the Calamity, he was a master of some pretty fancy knife-work. Aya also taught him to use guns, which he found much easier to use than typical bows. <br /><br />
<br />
Of course, then came the Calamity. Khael had been busy reading when he first noticed Dalamud, and he'd immediately run off to find the others. He found S'ami first, but she'd only given him a wild look and run away. Confused, he kept searching, this Time finding Aya and Agian. Moments later, he'd found himself unconscious, which he only realized when he woke up in a small cavern not too far from where they'd previously been. To his surprise, the landscape had been torn asunder by the Calamity, yet the three scholars were unharmed. Sami was nowhere to be found, though. <br /><br />
<br />
Khael tried desperately searching for his friend all throughout Thanalan, but largely came up empty. Finally, he turned to Aya and Agian for help, telling them that the girl had seemed genuinely terrified, and probably wouldn't be able to survive for long without them... if, of course, she had survived Dalamud's Fall in the first place. That, though, was when Aya revealed something to him: {{redacted}} <!-- S'ami had betrayed them. Aya told Khael about how she and Agian had seen the young girl consorting with an agent of the Darkness, and when she had noticed them, she'd attacked, promptly running off. Aya had no doubt that Sami had survived, but that she wouldn't be so easily found. Khael was crushed by the news, of course, but accepted it. Aya then told Khael something else: S'ami was his twin sister, and the scholars had hoped that bringing the two of them together would bring good, rather than the evil it had actually wrought. --> <br /><br />
<br />
<center>'''<big>Post-Calamity</big>'''</center><br /><br />
Absolutely crushed - figuratively, you understand - Khael had no real choice but to continue following Aya and Agian. Before long, the three had formed a group of researchers known as the KLK, who currently have a rather secret and unnoticeable manor in The Goblet. The three are the group's head, though, and known much more than other members of the society.<br /><br />
<br />
Since the Calamity, Khael has learned more than some fancy bladework; Aya has been teaching him the benefits of staying hidden, to the point that he can be a ghost in both empty and crowded rooms. He's become an expert in stealthy bladework and gunplay, though very rarely has any use for it besides sparring with Aya, Agian, or one of the other scholars. Other than training, he typically spends his Time studying. <br /><br />
<br />
The more knowledge and life Khael is surrounded by, though, the more callous his personality gets, as so much information starts to flood him. The reasons why are yet to be revealed, but it's likely that it's not a natural sort of problem. He has tried controlling this influx of information, but is unable to block it out, leading to him staying away from most other people save for Aya and Agian. In fact, most of the other scholars don't even know of his existence. <br /><br />
<br />
With the (somewhat forceful) aid of Agian (after the albino had a hypothesis about how Khael's abilities worked, and gods above and below know there's no stopping him when he has a hypothesis), though, Khael has discovered that the closer he is with someone - physically or emotionally - the more overpowering their aura is to him. This has somewhat altered his views and goals, as he very often wants nothing more in life than to get the feelings around him to stop... whatever that may take. <br /><br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
In exchange for his part of aiding Agian's studies, the albino offered up a piece of information to the miqo'te: they know S'ami's whereabouts. Not long after this, Aya revealed to him that she doesn't mind him knowing, nor does she mind him going to aid S'ami... so long as he doesn't reveal himself to her, exactly. Knowing what Aya told him about S'ami's actions just prior to the Calamity, Khael is tentative at first. However, he gives in to his overpowering curiosity, eventually going and watching from afar for a while. After seeing S'ami pledge herself to a cause with little regards to her own safety, though, he holds out hope that she has come to her senses, and that she now wishes to aid others without the help of dark Void magicks. How delightful! <br /><br />
<br />
Deciding that S'ami is not beyond morally saving, Khael has decided to help her. He had Aya craft a staff specifically for her, and while he's not always sure of Aya's intentions, one thing he does know is that she's always willing to help her disciples (she'd already given the Miqo'te conjurer a White Mage's soulstone; what more was a staff to suit her power?). Still, knowing he can't be revealed, he leaves the staff for S'ami to find and use on her own. For now, he's content merely to watch from the shadows - and on the top of bookshelves, or underneath all of her paperwork. He has recently begun reading S'ami's research when she's away or asleep, though he has a bit of a hard Time reading that which she writes in languages he doesn't understand. He uncovers and deciphers what he can, though, and has been absolutely amazed by her progress. <br /> <br />
<br />
After heading back to the Goblet from a stalking, Khael was, unfortunately, stopped by a group of Barracudas (the soldiers, not the fish, I hope!). They accused him of... well, just being a generally all-around shady person, really. After some discussion back and forth, though, one of them, a Miqo'te by the name of Renia Folmah, decided to let him off with a warning, feeling that their accusations were as baseless as they totally were. Not long after this, on her way home from work, she was being harassed by several of the other Barracudas. Khael, being nearby, stepped in. Ever since then, the two have run into each other several Times, and have been aiding each other with various troubles and tribulations. <br /><br />
<br />
Not too long ago, Khael made the mistake of tripping down the 81st's staircase during one of their orientations. Pretending to have been there on purpose, he posed as a potential candidate, which led to him accidentally joining the Free Company's ranks. Whoops? <br /> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
To someone he first meets, Khael will come across one of three ways: very flirtatious, very peppy, or very devious. All three are part of his base personality, of course. <br /><br />
<br />
Though it may not be obvious when first meeting him, Khael's personality will change depending on his location, his surroundings, and who else is in the room, as threads of all personalities and histories will begin unintentionally bleeding into his own. This is mostly muted whenever he's in the presence of someone he's close to, however; currently, this is only S'ami.<br /><br />
<br />
If you get to know Khael, and he is more comfortable around you - or you catch him unawares and he has no Time to switch into a peppy attitude - you'll find that he's actually a very callous individual. Having no idea if his feelings and emotions belong to him or his surroundings, he's learned to ignore all of them so that they don't ever get him into trouble. <br /><br />
<br />
Despite this, Khael is still caring; if an ally is in trouble, he'll rush to their aid with very little second thought. This is more of a subconscious response than an emotional one, but probably stems from ignored guilt he carried from thinking that S'ami died/ran away from him being unable to stop her.<br /><br />
<br />
In most occasions, you'll more than likely catch Khael in a flirtatious mood. He isn't as bad as some people - SPARROW - but he's a bit shameless in his comments and innuendos. He doesn't mean to offend, but there's no real point in trying to shake him off; he won't actually ever act on his flirtations unless the other party makes the first move. <br />

<br />
*<font style="color:#33ff22;" size="3">●</font> '''(PC) [[Aya Numi]]:''' Khael first met Aya Numi at the age of 15. He's been travelling with her basically ever since, and she's a mentor and master to him. Despite being somewhat afraid of her, he also greatly respects her. He's become aware that she's not quite a normal Scholar, but he's not exactly about to ask her about it... Regardless, he's almost always going to be reporting back to her, whenever anything interesting happens. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font>'''(Non-PC) Agian:''' Despite the two having very little in common, Agian is Khael's other mentor/master. Though Agian had been somewhat curt with S'ami, this is nothing compared to how cold and forceful he is towards Khael, though it's probably one of those stereotypical attempts to make him stronger, or something. Regardless, whenever Agian has a theory that requires testing, 11/10 Times, he'll force Khael to be his guinea catte. This has resulted in at least one occasion of Khael being forced to do some things that he'd rather not talk about, though Agian sees nothing wrong with it in the slightest. After all, it's just research, right...? <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''(PC) [[Sami Molkoh|S'ami Malkoh]]:''' S'ami, despite being just a close friend all throughout their childhood, means quite a lot to Khael. She's the only one currently able to cancel out his empathy, and now that he knows just who she is, he feels even more protective of her. He's currently, of course, stalking her and basically convincing her that he's a ghost, but we're going to ignore that for now. <br />
<br /> <br />
*<font style="color:#33ff22;" size="3">●</font> '''(PC) Renia Folmah:''' A Miqo'te working with the Limsa Lominsa Barracuda. She helped him get out of a ''totally'' unfair searching, and he helped her from soldiers who were harassing her. Ever since, they've been running into each other on their various trips, and Khael has become very... intrigued by her, to say the least! Of course, she has yet to return his flirting, but that doesn't mean he won't keep trying! <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''(PC) [[Lain Aubrey]]:''' The young Hyuran male joined Aya's group not long after the Calamity. Khael is rather put-off by his haughty attitude, but deals with his being there. It's not like Lain is going to show up at the 81st any Time soon, right...? <br />

<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />

* He's borderline schizophrenic at Times<br />
* He can't be in crowded rooms; too many personalities ''will'' overwhelm him, leaving him practically useless in wars/crowds <br />
<br />
==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion===<br />
Khael isn't very religious himself after being around Agian and Aya for so long. He believes in other planets outside of their own, however, and will never chastise anyone for their beliefs, though he may playfully taunt them. <br />
===Quirks===<br />
* Seeing the history/emotions tied to many objects often leaves him unable to, not only differentiate between their emotions and his own, but also to occasionally be unable to tell the difference between living things and inanimate objects.<br />
* He'll pretend to be a ghost, because A: his aura is confusing to conjurers/mages, and B: he's good at hiding. Like... ''really'' good. <br />
* He's ''very'' flirtatious - with both males and females - and will often act masochistic if you return his banter for long enough. It's all fun and games, of course! ...Probably. <br />
* He'll often get into fights with inanimate objects. <br />
* He'll often get into conversations with inanimate objects. <br />
* He talks to the walls, guys. <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
Khael is currently ''living'' at the 81st's manor, now, due to several unfortunate accidents. He doesn't often venture outside of the Mist, choosing to contact the others by Linkpearl. <br />
