== Character ==

=== General ===

'''Kenthy Pennyfeather''' (born '''L'kenthi Nhemo''' and later renamed '''Lu'kenthi Nhemo''') is a hot-blooded young Miqo'te with a burning drive to prove her worth. A tribal defector, she made her way into Ul'dah to forge a different life for herself. Her allegiance is only good up to a certain point, typically depending on the amount of coin some one is putting in her hand.

=== Appearance ===

Small in stature, Kenthy stands at a less-than-impressive five fulms even. Every ilm of her body is packed with dense, tight muscle with most of her weight centered around her hips and thighs. The width of her lower body offsets the general lacking of her upper body, specifically her chest. Poetic gentleman make a habit of comparing her to a walking flame due to her blazing red hair and her matching demeanor. Deep bronze skin has soaked up every single ray from the Thanalan sun. Born blessed with heterochromatic eyes, she shares the colors of her mother and her grandfather: gold on the left, silver on the right. Given the rareness of her smile, it is quite difficult to find out that she has grown lengthy canines despite her full-blooded Sun Seeker ancestry. Her tail is long enough to nearly brush against her ankles when she walks. Throughout her life, she has painstakingly conditioned herself to keep her tail still and emote very rarely with it. It is very common to see Kenthy dressed either entirely in dark leather and cloth or in a finer casual dress. She has adopted some fashion sense since relocating to Ul'dah but she rarely shows any interest in clothing and owns very few outfits.

=== Behavior ===

While she often appears in the background of some one else's merrymaking or adventuring, Kenthy is content to keep to herself. She'll be spotted sipping a drink in a tavern or perhaps looking down on the crowds in the streets of Ul'dah from a high vantage point but she is typically unwilling to start a conversation or approach a stranger. If any one can manage to get her talking, a steady stream of jabs and insults falls from her lips as though it's the only way she knows to speak. Her gruff attitude shows itself to men more quickly than it does to women though she tends to regard each gender just as negatively as the other. A passionate heart beats beneath that heavy coating of aggression however and a certain few are sometimes permitted to see it. Kenthy will take moments to sit and chat with the girls who dance in the streets of Ul'dah, enjoying the stories that they carry with them. She is always soft-spoken and decent barmaids and innkeepers. To some, the fire within her means comfort. To others, her burning soul is a looming threat, always prepared to consume those too weak to resist her.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

A vast majority of Kenthy's fighting skills were learned out of necessity during her younger years. It was only after she came into Ul'dah that she devoted herself to more rigorous study and formal training. Some of her forms and stances are still sloppy and unrefined but teaching herself to survive created a sharp analytical mind. She is specifically proficient at working her way out of tight situations and dodging blows, using her diminutive size and remarkable speed to keep herself out of harm's way. While her punches come quickly and do solid damage, her legs are her greatest asset. The thick build of her lower body keeps her solid and balanced as she delivers incredible kicks. They have yet to invent a weapon that Kenthy enjoys using. She dislikes the idea of being caught helpless without a blade or a lance. There's a certain comfort that comes with knowing that your fists are always available.

== Tendencies ==

A woman with more dislikes than likes, Kenthy is difficult to please. This does not mean that the task is impossible. It simply requires a bit of endurance and effort.

::*Loud taverns
::*The conversations of others
::*Friendly (or perhaps not-so-friendly) competition

=== Dislikes ===

=== Hobbies/Talents ===

::*She is particularly skilled when it comes to eavesdropping and gathering information.
::*She dabbles in weaving as a form of stress relief.
::*She is perfectly capable of disappearing for days on end should she choose to. If Kenthy does not wish to be found, she will go out of her way not to be.
::*She can hold her liquor like a woman twice her size.
::*She is a proficient liar when she wishes to be, though she tends to favor being truthful.

=== Family ===

::<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''Lu'nhemo Nunh:''' Kenthy's father. After being defeated by a Tia and replaced as Nunh of the Vipers, he arrogantly abandoned the tribe. His silver tongue tempted four females to follow after him, one of those females being Kenthy's mother. Kenthy holds a significant amount of resentment inside of her toward her father. He is presumed dead and she prefers the idea of it.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''Lu'chenva Rarahn:''' Kenthy's mother. Lu'chenva was the youngest daughter of L'rarahn Nunh, a Viper Nunh remembered for being as respectable and skilled as he was virile. Her name was forever tarnished after she abandoned the Vipers to follow Lu'nhemo into his newly formed clan. Kenthy's relationship with her mother was complicated throughout her entire life. Kenthy remembers her fondly, but her thoughts are stained with pity. Lu'chenva is presumed dead.
::<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''Lu'dhirala Nhemo, Lu'prythi Nhemo, and Lu'kioya Nhemo:''' Kenthy's half-sisters, each born to one of the different women who followed Lu'nhemo. All three of them were born in the newly formed clan, unlike Kenthy who was born within the Vipers. All are presumed dead.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''L'tohmi Tia and L'wehna Tia:''' Twins and Kenthy's full-blooded brothers. Born in the chaos of the Calamity, Kenthy was tasked by her mother to flee back to the Vipers with her newborn brothers. Though Kenthy was able to keep the infants safe as she made the long trip back to the tribe of her birth, there was no one among the Vipers who was able or willing to nurse the boys. They are confirmed dead.
::<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''L'rhuyito Rarahn:''' Kenthy's aunt and her mother's sister. She harbored Kenthy after her return to the Vipers.
::<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''L'miroh Tia:''' Kenthy's uncle and her mother's brother. He carried enough influence within the tribe to speak for Kenthy and gain permission for her to stay within the tribe despite the name that she carried.

=== Other Relationships ===

::<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[C'kayah Tia]]:''' He entered her life as a means of survival, offering Kenthy a steady source of income with limited commitment, he quickly became a close friend and a mentor to her. Though Kenthy finds it as hard as ever to trust, she holds a deep respect for C'kayah that is obvious to any one who sees them together. Some seem to think that she acts cold toward him; other suspect that the two are more involved than they let on. The details of their relationship stay between the two of them.
::<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kiht Jakkya]]:''' While Kenthy's first meeting with the Vice Matriarch of the Morbolvine clan was incredibly positive, she has since see what she feels are Kiht's true colors. Circumstances filled the air around them with tension and it seemed to finally hit a breaking point after Kiht pulled a very drunk Kenthy into an important conversation. Kenthy consistently finds new and exciting things that Kiht cannot see even when it's looking her in the face. For a number of reasons, Kenthy regards her as clueless and easy to fool. She does not consider Kiht a threat.
::<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Rinh'li Nelhah]]:''' Originally Kenthy found herself seeking friendship from this Keeper as he seemed to listen to her and understand her in a way that she was not accustomed to. He became interested in something beyond friendship though and it sparked a series of instances in Kenthy's life that she still blames on Rinh'li. She did what she felt was necessary to settle the score. Though Kenthy still harbors some negative opinions about him, she looks past them and they two share an uneasy friendship.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Rinh'sae Nelhah]]:''' With their friendship formed by fist fights, Rinh'sae's energy and competitiveness drives Kenthy to loosen up and actually enjoy some aspects of life. Though their entire relationship was once at risk due to what Kenthy sees as a careless mistake, both are working to move past it and keep things positive between them. They are often seen together.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1557 - 1561: Young Childhood ===

L'kenthi Nhemo faced a life full of high expectations when she was born into the Viper tribe of Eastern Thanalan. Her grandfather had made a lasting impression on the tribe during his time as Nunh and, later, his time as an older Tia. Each of his numerous children was a point of pride within the Vipers and as L'rarahn's grandchildren started to enter the world, the tribe looked to them with confidence in the same way that they had once looked to their parents before them. L'kenthi's birth was of particular interest to others within the Vipers as she was the first child of L'chenva, the only of L'rarahn's children to inherit his distinctive gold and silver eyes. When L'kenthi's eyes revealed themselves to be of that same brilliant coloring, there was no small amount of celebration within the tribe. L'rarahn's eyes were thought to be a sign of his incredible potential when he had first fought his way into his position as Nunh. Seeing them again in his daughter and his granddaughter brought excitement to those who knew L'rarahn's legacy.

Mere moons before L'kenthi's fourth nameday, her sire, L'nhemo Nunh, was challenged and defeated. Losing his position as Nunh drove the man nearly mad. Refusing to abandon his title, he snaked his way into the minds of four of the tribes' women. Each had given birth to a child sired by L'nhemo. Three were forbidden from bringing their children with them. They were the ones who had given birth to sons. The only of the four who kept her child with her was L'chenva and L'kenthi became Lu'kenthi before she was four.

=== 1561 - 1572: The Tribe Formed From Arrogance ===

The miniscule newly formed Lu tribe fled from Eastern Thanalan into the South Shroud. Lu'nhemo's laws and restrictions were harsh and the punishments for going against his instructions were even worse. Three of the four females were tasked with all of the things that were necessary to keep the entire lot of them alive. The fourth was tasked with Lu'kenthi's care; the females would switch responsibilities with every new moon. Little Lu'kenthi was tasked with nothing. Lu'nhemo saw to it that the women doted on his daughter and catered to her every desire. The Nunh himself involved himself minimally with the girl and she saw little of him aside from his angry outbursts. During her younger years, she learned to hold her tongue in front of her father. As she grew older, it was one of the first things she forgot.

Each female aside from Lu'chenva brought a daughter into the tribe as the years pressed forward but Lu'nhemo saw to it that there was no celebration, no excitement. Lu'dhirala came first, then Lu'prythi, and finally Lu'kioya. Not a single one enjoyed the lavish attention that was given to Lu'kenthi by the adults but Lu'kenthi found herself completely engrossed in her younger sisters as they all grew. It was with her younger sisters that Lu'kenthi found her passion, her fire. She would spend all of her time amusing the three of them, making up games for them to play together from the moment that the sun rose to the time that the moon glared through the cover of the trees. The first time that Lu'kenthi found her voice in the presence of her father, it was at the defense of her younger sisters. She prided herself on being their guardian and for protecting them though their mothers could not. Lu'nhemo had ensured that there would not be a Tia who could challenge him within his little vanity project. Despite his best efforts, Lu'kenthi stepped in to fill that role.

The girl began to watch her father with a more analytical eye, disgusted by his rage and arrogance. In her teenage years, she became prone to lashing out at the man. She would gladly mock him to his face and carry herself alongside her sisters as though she intended to pounce at any moment. Lu'nhemo grew tired of Lu'kenthi's attitude very quickly and, in hopes that it would teach the girl her place, he instructed Lu'chenva to ready her daughter for he would soon have her properly enter womanhood. Consumed by his egotistic delusions, Lu'nhemo wished to bring proper children into his tribe: ones who carried his blood from both parents. Lu'chenva was horrified but did as she was told. Lu'kenthi was enraged and refused to cooperate.

Her father was long past his prime and didn't stand a chance against his own daughter. Consumed by her disgust, Lu'kenthi met Lu'nhemo's advances with an attack and she left him a broken man. Lu'nhemo was furious but Lu'chenva intervened, begging for her daughter's life despite the fact that Lu'kenthi had little regard for whether or not she was allowed to keep it. An agreement was struck and Lu'chenva, who hadn't carried a child since Lu'kenthi, agreed that she would bear another for the Nunh until Lu'kenthi could be reasoned with.

The opportunity never came. As Dalamud began to consume the sky, Lu'chenva stole her daughter away and begged her forgiveness. Horribly pregnant, Lu'kenthi's mother knew that her child was coming soon but that there was a chance that none of them would survive to see the day. She gave her Lu'kenthi very specific instructions: the night that her sibling was born, the girl was to flee the tribe, return to Eastern Thanalan, and seek refuge with the Vipers. Lu'kenthi agreed without a moment of hesitation. It was at the Calamity's climax that her mother gave birth to twin boys; Lu'chenva knew them only long enough to give them their names.

In the chaos as Bahamut devastated Eorzea, Lu'kenthi fled with her newborn brothers held tight against her while the rest of her tribe fled in an unknown direction. She had never intended to stay long enough to find out where they had planned to go. Her eyes were set forward and she thanked every god she could think of when she reached the Vipers safely.

=== 1572 - 1555: Return To The Vipers ===

It was a subtle change but she found herself grateful to hear "L'kenthi" again after ten long years without it. Like nearly every one in the wake of the catastrophic events, the Vipers were in shambles when she found them but her aunt, L'rhuyito Rarahn, took her in all the same. The rest of the tribe looked down upon L'kenthi with disdain, seeing her as a blemish on the tribe and a waste of resources during an already strained time. There was no one to nurse her brothers, not that any of the women would have been willing if they could have, and boys perished quickly.

Things slowly returned to the way that they used to be and the Vipers were faced with a decision: what precisely to do with L'kenthi. Her sire's name had become a slur amongst the tribe but the combined efforts of L'rhuyito and L'miroh, L'kenthi's uncle, convinced the others that the girl could find her place once more. It proved much simpler said than done. L'kenthi's grief at the loss of her siblings only served to make her more aggressive. The difference was that she had a new slew of targets now. The young Tias of the tribe made a game of picking fights with L'kenthi to see what it would take to pull a reaction from her. They all found out that it did not take much. The elder members of the tribe attempted to find a proper channel for the girl's destructiveness but, though she picked up skills quickly, she proved that she could not possibly be trusted with any one for any length of time. Some one presented the idea that perhaps L'kenthi would find herself more willing to behave if she was given a more permanent connection to the tribe. When her aunt told her that they intended to offer her to the Nunh to mate, L'kenthi readied herself to abandon the tribe by the time that the sun rose the next day. She was nearing her eighteenth nameday.

=== 1555 - Present: A New Life In The Cities ===

Nothing more than a ragged, hungry little Miqo'te girl when she stumbled into Camp Drybone, L'kenthi found relief in the form of an aging Highlander couple who saw the state that she was in and took her in to feed her and put her back on her feet. Grateful for their selflessness and kindness, something that she was entirely unaccustomed to, she forged a new identity for herself in their honor. Her knowledge of Highlander naming conventions was somewhat lacking though and she pieced together a name for herself that sounded close enough in her mind: Kenthy Pennyfeather.

Spending the next year and a half in Ul'dah doing whatever paid at the time, Kenthy found herself enjoying her new-found freedom. There was a certain comfort that came from answering to no one but herself, spending long nights in the tavern just to return to an empty room at the inn. She found her purse empty more often than full but she told herself that coin wouldn't make her happy. She was finally able to stop lying to herself after a chance encounter with a mysterious dark haired stranger: [[C'kayah Tia]]. Though he originally saw her merely for the way that he filled out her skirt, the two forged a working relationship and Kenthy currently finds that unsavory work can create a very comfortable living arrangement.

== Character ==

=== General ===

'''C'kayah Polaali''' (''Ka-kai-yah Poh-lah-lee'') - aka '''C'kayah Tia''' (''Ka-kai-yah Tea-ah'') - is an active, vigorous Seeker of the Sun living in the city-state of Ul'dah. Somewhat "urbanized" compared to many of the Coeurl tribe, he typifies the sort of energetic Seeker who leaves to [[Coeurl Tribe|Hunt the World]] and decides that it's pretty nice out there. Very distinctly not a hero, he walks that grey area between mere decadence and villainy. While he grew up in a traditional Coeurl Sunseeker sept, he has recently adopted his maternal grandmother's surname of Polaali.

'''Note: C'kayah does not have the Echo, nor is a part of the Scions. He has no information on anything relating to the events portrayed in the game.'''

=== Appearance ===

<blockquote>
"I am tall for a Miqo'te, and I have always been blessed with swift feet and an athletic build. My coarse brown hair is unruly, like my father's. I used to keep it braided, but I spend the time now to keep it styled. My eyebrows, which are fine, I get from my mother, as I do my eyes. I have fangs, a legacy from my maternal grandmother, a Keeper of the Moon. While I do not dress like a tribal Couerl - I am too fond of stylish urban Miqo'te fashion - my mannerisms sometimes give away my affiliations."
</blockquote>

[[File:C-finalOriginalsmallest.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Despite his tribal background, C'kayah has adapted to civilized society like a fish to water. He is curious, energetic, and adventurous, with the sort of overweening fondness for the trappings of civilization that sometimes develops in civilized barbarians. While he likes to portray himself as a the same carefree Miqo that he's always been, living through the Calamity has affected him, making him more aware that ignoring a threat does not make that threat go away. He doesn't tell anyone, but the last five years have seen him apply himself to study (of healing, of history, and of politics) with a diligence that is quite unlike him.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Originally trained in his tribe as a hunter, he has continued to hone his skills, becoming an accomplished tracker and archer. While he picked up the sword during the Calamity, he considered himself only knowledgable enough to get himself into trouble. Since his disastrous encounter with Thunder, he's applied himself to the study of swordsmanship with an uncharacteristic drive. His overall philosophy of combat is that it is best to engage an enemy in a way that he knows they have been defeated before they are even aware that they are in combat.

<blockquote>
"If I am in a fair fight, then I have done something terribly, terribly wrong."
</blockquote>

== Tendencies ==

<blockquote>
"Likes/Dislikes: I like to roam, and I like to return. I like good food, fine wine, witty conversation with intelligent people, beautiful women (oh? Did you think that a Tia, by not breeding, has no knowledge of women?), and comfortable living. I like subtle and thought-provoking poetry and philosophy. Dislikes? I am not fond of Elezen, or at least those Elezen who maintain that the rest of us are merely invaders in their world. I dislike limitations. I dislike foolish behavior, maudlin sentimentality and boredom. Most of all, though, I like power and I dislike an empty purse."

You know how it is in a Seeker tribe, especially one such as the Coeurls. I have many relatives, many siblings by my father, yet none (that I know of) by my mother.

C'issapa is an extremely free-spirited and free-thinking woman whose sharp canines and large eyes betray a mixed ancestry.

<blockquote>
"I suppose my natural disposition is to make fresh acquaintances, and to break with them so readily, although always for a good reason, and never through mere fickleness."
</blockquote>

::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Alyeis Daimeiris]]:''' A mysterious Keeper with an extralegal background who has been seen in his company from time to time. Considering both of their pasts, there is some speculation that they may be working together towards nefarious ends.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Ari'za Tyanu]]:''' A young Seeker who C'kayah took on as a member of Tylwyth Narah and a student in the darker aspects of criminal activities, their relationship immediately grew complicated when she discovered she was with child. Her rough past left her with little ability to trust others, but C'kayah's willingness to commit to aiding the woman led to a fragile trust between her and him. While the two are attracted to one another, though her views of Seeker relationships prevent them from acting on this. After the birth of her twin daughters, he found himself spending a great deal of time with the children until the appearance of an old enemy of hers convinced her that the safest course of action for her and her children would be to go into hiding.
::<font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Aya Foxheart]]:''' C'kayah met this attractive Hyur when he passed through Fallgourd Float. The two immediately bonded over drink and flirty conversation. They saw little of one another for some months after that, until she relocated to Ul'dah and began to work in the Quicksand as a barmaid, when they renewed their friendship. They share similar outlooks, both having rejected the future their childhood was preparing them for in favor of living their lives as they want to. While it is clear that both are attracted to each other, he values her primarily as a friend and will do anything to help her, should she be in need.
::<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Dennthota Ahtahrmwyn]]:''' A Roegadyn bandit going by the street name of Thunder and leader of a gang who viciously attacked C'kayah outside the Royal Ball in Ul'dah. While C'kayah originally orchestrated a manhunt for the bandit, her elusiveness has led him to abandon the search. He has taken to wearing a sword in case the bandit strikes again.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Erik Mynhier]]:''' C'kayah met Erik through Siha, who the big Hyur adopted as a sister. Erik is everything C'kayah is not: tall, noble and virtuous. Despite all of that, C'kayah found himself enjoying the big Hyur's company, possibly due to Erik's loyalty towards Siha. As time passed, however, he began to be aware that all was not well with the Hyur. A strong sense of duty compounded by a devotion to dying a heroic death made him wary, distancing himself from the man. His fears proved well-founded when Erik was killed in what, to C'kayah, were completely avoidable circumstances. After heroic measures by Siha, he was returned to life. Since his death and return, however, he has heard rumors of troubling behavior.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Friederike Visconti]]:''' A Miqo'te bartender from the Laughing Lady, his friendship with the woman has grown from their early acquaintance to it's current solid form. When the Lady folded, he brought her into Tylwyth Narah to act as an assistant to Kenthy.
::<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kage Kiryuu]]:''' C'kayah met this Lalafell while trying to reverse the effects of Natalie's tempering. The pair bonded over their shared interest in helping her, and have since become fast friends. Kage's ascension to the ranks of the Sultansworn pleased him, though lately he's begun to wonder if the realities of the position are good for the Lalafell's innocent spirit. Kage made up the fourth member of the Cat tribe before it's dissolution. Kage and Natalie's creation of a new tribe with Kage as Nunh mere days after the dissolution of the Cat tribe has soured C'kayah's feelings for the Lalafell, moreso after Kage's mysterious transformation into a Miqo'te. However, a recent meeting between the two has somehow convinced C'kayah to act as a mentor to Kage, helping the man come to terms with his new identity. The transformation proved temporary, however, and with his return to Lalafellin form, Kage has disappeared.
::<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kanaria Galanodel]]:''' Osric Melkire's Hyur lover. C'kayah helped her to save Askier Mergrey during his ill-fated attempt to attack Ul'dah under pressure from the Garleans. As a reward, she brought him news that Osric had been tasked with C'kayah's death. Rationally he doesn't blame her for the dissolution of his tribe, but feelings often do not have a basis in rationality.
::<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|L'kenthi Rarahn (Kenthy Pennyfeather)]]:''' A Sunseeker with a mysterious past who C'kayah has been seen conversing with lately. Their relationship is complex, with Kenthy's acidic nature hiding sincere feelings for her. For his part, C'kayah highly values her judgement, and has made her his lieutenant within Tylwyth Narah. While those close to them have seen hints of the deeper feelings that run between them, neither share the details of their relationship with strangers.
::<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kiht Jakkya]]:''' Vice Matriarch to the Morbolvine clan and associate of an underworld figure C'kayah has dealt with in the past. Their relationship is colored by suspicion and doubt. While they recently overcame their past antagonism, bonding over shared regard for the clan, it was not long before renewed conflict soured their relationship.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Liana Blu]]:''' C'kayah met Liana as she was burying the remnants of a Roegadyn that had attacked Suri. Moved by his concern for Suri, she was convinced to let him help them to escape Ul'dahn justice. Thal to Suri's Nald, C'kayah has nothing but admiration for her. He once harbored hopes of something more, but she rebuked him. After Suri's departure, they briefly pursued an odd relationship - not friends, not lovers, but something else. As the months have gone on, he's seen Liana less and less. After her near-mortal injury and rebirth, he renewed his friendship with the Keeper.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Lilithium Altair]]:''' An alchemist to whom he supplied contraband materials, something sparked between C'kayah and this Hyur. When they met, both were nursing freshly broken hearts, and they tried to balance their mutual attraction with some degree of caution, circling one another like a pair of gladiators in the moment before the attack. They soon both admitted that their attraction was real, and began to spend a great deal of time together, developing a complex and unconventional open relationship which consumed them for a time.
::<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Natalie Mcbeef]]:''' A dedicated Sultansworn Paladin who subjected him to an in-depth investigation. Over the course of it, the pair were surprised at the feelings they developed for each other. Despite the misgivings of their friends and associates, the pair decided to pursue a relationship that blossomed into an extremely strong partnership. Over the months they grew closer, eventually attempting to create an urban Miqo'te tribe in Ul'dah. This ended with a vicious fight seemingly caused by the strain of trying to deal with two different groups that wanted C'kayah dead. The news that she formed a new tribe, with Kage Kiryuu as Nunh mere days afterwards has transformed his love for her into a burning hate that has only gradually subsided. Her sudden death has left him extremely conflicted when it comes to her.
::<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Miah Polaali]]:''' Matriarch of the Morbolvine clan. A distant relative of C'kayah's, he has dealt with the Morbolvines for years as a smuggler. Recently renewing his relationship with the clan, he discovered their old Matriarch dead and Miah in her place. He's aware of Miah's driving ambition to turns the clan into something more: a Power in the underworld. While he is interested in helping them take this place, he has repeatedly run afoul of the mercurial Keeper and doubts her ability to achieve her ambitions. Recent events have led to what seems to be unreconcilable hostility between them.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Osric Melkire]]:''' A usually-mased Immortal Flame with whom C'kayah worked to stop Askier Mergrey's plans for detonating a ceruleum bomb in Ul'dah. While the two are sometimes antagonistic, it is clear that C'kayah holds a grudging respect for the man, considering him a beacon of honorable behavior in an otherwise unrecoverably corrupt organization. At the same time, Osric's staged hunt of C'kayah was a catalyst for the dissolution of his tribe, and he still holds an active dislike for the man for that.
::<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Rinh'li Nelhah]]:''' Another Morbolvine and associate of Dennthota's, the hostility of this Keeper to C'kayah isimmediately clear to any who see them together. For his part, C'kayah delights in baiting the stuttering, angry man.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Rinh'sae Nelhah]]:''' Brother to Rinh'li, Rinh'sae and C'kayah have gradually warmed up to one another. Rinh'sae has done work for him, and his competent and loyal nature have sparked a strong regard for the Keeper in C'kayah.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Roswyn Valhuri]]:''' A young Keeper woman who C'kayah's known for years, though they only re-established contact with one another within the past year. For a time, their feelings for one another were all-consuming and clear to anyone who saw them together. The violence of their attraction threw them together and spun them apart until at last C'kayah began to avoid her, though he continued to watch after her from afar. After his first encounters with Lolorito's assassins, he contacted her for aid and found that she'd changed radically from the ambitious girl he'd known into a smart, capable woman. He was surprised at this change, but more surprised that their feelings for one another remained just as strong, though tempered by his belief that neither could be what the other desired. Despite this, his feelings for her continued to grow, until one disastrous night soon after the dissolution of the Cat tribe. Her simultaneous revelation that she had become the mate of another and her insistence on his presence in her life - in his mind as a sort of Tia - left him shattered and for a time he refused to see her. They have since attempted to reconcile, but fate seems to desire to keep the pair apart. After an emergency pulled him away from her, she broke off contact with him. He's since realized that their relationship is healthy for neither of them, and has resigned himself to not seeing her. Distance has allowed his feelings to settle, and he returned to his old practice of keeping an eye on her from the shadows, ready to use his resources to ensure her safety.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Siha Xinkei]]:''' A scrappy little Keeper girl who was rejected by her family, Siha has managed to touch a genuine spot of compassion in his decadent heart. News of Erik's illness shocked her, causing her to dedicate herself to finding some way to save her brother. After his death and rebirth, she pulled away, spending more and more time in the pursuit of dark studies with cruel associates for a time before recently coming back into his life. He discovered that the innocent girl he knew is now a capable and intelligent woman. Her confession of her feelings for him left him thoughtful for the future for a time, though she vanished again soon after that, leaving him wondering where she is and what she's doing.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[User:S'rahvi Khai|S'rahvi Khai]]:''' An extremely attractive Seeker C'kayah met through Natalie. While their relationship was originally based on mutual attraction, they've since become close friends. Rahvi's abilities as an alchemist have proved very valuable to C'kayah.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Shifu Karambit]]:''' An intense Keeper woman, new to Ul'dah, who had been seen in Natalie and C'kayah's company quite a bit before his departure from their tribe.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Surilian Blu]]:''' A young Keeper who's somehow managed to kindle extremely strong (and completely unexpected) feelings in him. A characteristically ham-handed declaration of those feelings drove her away, much to his despair. His attempts to patch things up in the aftermath failed miserably, as neither Miqo'te were able to overcome their awkward inability to really communicate. As the months have passed, his feelings for her have not declined. Recently, following an attack by the bandit Thunder, C'kayah learned that Suri risked her life in an attempt to exact vengeance, suffering capture and torture at the hands of the bandit, though he also learned that Suri had worked briefly with her, promising to deliver C'kayah to Thunder in exchange for the death of Natalie - a deal Suri broke within minutes. The pair have since admitted their feelings for one another, though in the typically dysfunctional manner they exhibit with one another. Suri's decision to become [[Artorias Mason|Artorias Mason's]] mate spurred a resolve in him to stand by her and support her relationship with the Hyur. His love for her remains, but he tries to keep it buried inside. Recent events led them to fight, and he no longer sees her.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Tana Firesong]]:''' C'kayah encountered this odd Miqo'te lancer when she attacked him for his supposed crimes against the general public. Escaping with the help of Natalie, the pair eventually worked past their differences and became friends. While guarding him, she earned the ire of the Morbolvines after a duel went bad, resulting in her departure to the mountains. Despite this, he continues to defend her and hopes that she is well.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Torken Queb]]:''' A tall Hyur sellsword who C'kayah has hired in the past for jobs. Forceful and direct almost to a fault, Torken has proved valuable in situations where discretion isn't called for.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1548-1565 Childhood/adolescence ===

C'kayah was born into a sept of the Coeurl Tribe in the deserts around Ul'dah, C'kayah (like many Seekers) both loved the security of his enormous extended family and chafed at the restrictions imposed by them. Coeurl tribe children typically join a ''ton'' at adolescence, leaning to fill an adult's role with the tribe. With his love of wandering, he chose the Hunter's ton, learning the skills of tracking and shooting and enjoying the freedom that tramping through the wilderness provided. On his seventeenth name-day, he left his sept to [[Coeurl Tribe|Hunt the World]], a Coeurl "travelling ritual".

=== 1565-1572 The carefree life ===

Initially upon leaving his tribe, Ul'dah drew him in, as it draws in so many. When he first arrived he had no money, so life was hard for him. His skills were ill-suited toward gaining a living within the city, so he found himself earning his way through mercenary work, caravan-guarding and the like. Along the way he developed his rudimentary Couerl medical talents, becoming a decent frontier medic. Ul'dah is a decadent place, and he took to this decadence wholeheartedly, especially after attracting the notice of A'rela Nereh, a wealthy silver merchant. Twice his age and a notorious consumer of attractive young Miqo'te, he briefly became her lover while she, in turn, taught him to appreciate the comforts of civilization as well as the importance of connections, though he did not appreciate ''that'' lesson until years later. Back on his own when her attentions wandered, he began to supplement his income by smuggling and theft and soon grew wealthy enough to enjoy life in Ul'dah. All good things must come to an end, however, and he was chased out of that city in his eighteenth year.

Over the next few years, he made his way across the world, spending most of his time around Limsa Lominsa and Gridania. Like Ul'dah, these places combined plentiful opportunities for acquiring money with a wealth of pleasures on which to spend it. By this time he had developed a grab bag of competencies, allowing him to get by while avoiding the tedium of a full-time occupation: smuggling, petty theft (though never more than his victims could afford), fixing (in the sense of ''arranging'' matters), and even the occasional legitimate job. In Gridania he met his first real love, a young thief who called herself S'aitei Koei - an obvious pseudonym. Another Ul'dan refuge, S'aitei was an escaped slave with the lash scars on her back to prove the cruelty of that institution to him. Settling in the Shroud, they made the forest their home, living from the proceeds of C'kayah's smuggling. Their intense and unconventional affair lasted nearly three years, consuming them until they could no longer sustain it, like coal burned to ash. They remained close friends afterwards, and much of his apparent arrested adolescence and inveterate womanizing could be considered his heart yearning to return to those three devastating years.

=== 1572/0-Present Calamity ===

C'kayah did not take the Garlean threat seriously at first, considering such politics to be inconsequential to him. As the clouds of war gathered, however, he began to see how he may be affected. Like many around Gridania, he learned to handle a sword in anticipation of a Garlean invasion of the city proper, though he moved to the city when the Gridanians set out for Cartaneau.

Like all who survived the Calamity, the devastation wrought by Bahamut and the red moon shocked him, giving him the full measure of the Garlean threat. He awaited the end with the other Gridanians, and when it did not come, he lent his aid as a medic to the streams of refugees and survivors. The event opened his eyes to the larger concerns of the world.

S'aitei disappeared during this time, and he presumes she died in the calamity. He nurtures a slow-burning hatred of the Garleans as a result of her loss.

In the aftermath of the Calamity, he gradually returned to his old ways. Smuggling and ''fixing'', in his mind, were good ways to both help those who lacked what they needed while also giving him the money he desired. He has recently managed to placate the Ul'dahn Syndicate and was allowed to return to that city, where he began to give up his wandering life. Gathering a number of talented criminals, he began to contract out their services as the Nald'Thal's Hand Social Club. Once the Club reached a significant size and level of power, he left it in the hands of his old lieutenant, a Seeker woman named [[Emelie Annel]], to pursue other opportunities. The Club operated for a time out of [http://laughinglady.enjin.com/| The Laughing Lady], a tavern known for its underworld ties, before shutting down recently.

His time at the head of the NHSC opened his eyes to the larger political landscape of the Ul'dahn underworld, and he went from observing it to trying to manipulate it. In the time since his departure from the NHSC, he has concentrated on building ties with ever more criminal organizations. Students of the Ul'dahn underworld sometimes speculate that he's engaged in a long-term manipulation of the underworld, with the ultimate goal of placing him on the Syndicate.

With his mate [[Natalie Mcbeef]], he created the [[Cat Tribe]], an urban Miqo'te tribe roughly based off of [[Coeurl Tribe]] customs. [[Kage Kiryuu]] and [[Shifu Karambit]] were more recent additions. However, recent allegations that he was behind an attack on the family home of [[Lolorito]], the head of the East Aldenard Trading Company and member of the Syndicate, have led him to leave his tribe and mates, fleeing Ul'dah. The added strain of a second party seeking his life sparked a vicious fight that resulted in his abandonment by both Natalie and Kage, leaving him alone to face his foes.

Following his tribe's betrayal, he began to focus on restoring his network of underworld contacts and engineering a return to power, all while under pressure from Lolorito's assassins and bounty hunters. He immediately faced an additional complication when the rogue Flame [[Osric Melkire]] fingered him for an assassination attempt. He managed to turn this to his advantage, staging his own death to remove the threat from Lolorito and let him figure a permanent solution to the problem. This came in the form of a shadowy deal with a little-known Shroud-based underworld figure, who somehow managed to convince the Syndicate figure that C'kayah wasn't behind the attack. At the same time, his relationship with [[Roswyn Valhuri]] changed for the worse, leaving him shattered and easy prey for a clan of Keepers, the [[http://morbolvines.enjin.com/ Morbolvine Clan]], who were associated with the bandit Thunder. Their unfamiliarity with keeping prisoners led to his easy scape

It was about this time that he encountered [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]], an acidic and abrasive Sunseeker. The two developed an unlikely friendship, leading to their work in the Sea Wolf crime syndicate [[http://tylwyth-narah.enjin.com/ Tylwyth Narah]]. Soon after this he sold alchemical reagents to [[Lilithium Altair]], a charismatic Hyur. He was immediately attracted to her, and pursued her aggressively. Nursing a freshly broken heart herself, she held him at arms length, though their mutual attraction prevented her from turning him away completely. Over time the pair grew close, finally admitting their love together and falling into a complex relationship which consumed them for some time. At the same time, his relationship with Kenthy grew more and more solid, and the pair are now quite devoted to each other and to the success of Tylwyth Narah.

One of the first things one would most likely notice about D'lyhhia is her way of communication. Instead of speaking she will make gestures and expressions instead of talking. It isn't that she can't talk, because she can. Unfortunately her voice lacks strength causing her to speak in a weak whisper. Due to this many people are normally unable to hear her in loud environments or group settings, so over the years she learned to adapt. When she does speak her voice often cuts out. (Her voice is similar to that of Allison from The Breakfast Club.)

<div style="font-family: cambria, arial, verdana; font-size: 11pt;">
<p style="line-height: 170%; margin: 10px 0 10px 0; text-indent: 20px;">
Askier is a tall, attractive, 31 years old male, with slight wrinkles starting to be visible around his lips and eyes. His ashen skin stands in stark contrast to the chestnut-brown hair he has come to let hang lose and messy since the end of his trial, feeling as if the different style reflects his new life. His narrow face is covered in numerous scars and face paint that has no real meaning other than Askier thinks it looks rather awesome on himself. His eyes shimmer a bright gold every time they catche the light.
<br><br>The miqot'te's body is tall, taller than a fair number of hyur, and his body is taught and muscled from years of military service. Should he be caught without a shirt on, a nasty collection of wicked looking scars cover the left side of his torso, as the result of falling off a chocobo onto a whiskey bottle inside his coat. Scars, scabs, and callouses cover his hands.
</p>
</div>

====<div style="font-family: segoe ui semibold;font-size: 9pt; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 2pt; border-top: 1px solid black;">Behavior</div>====

<div style="font-family: cambria, arial, verdana; font-size: 11pt;">
<p style="line-height: 170%; margin: 10px 0 10px 0; text-indent: 20px;">
Askier is a bizarre sort of character, often perceived as a naive individual. He is quick to give a smile and even faster to offer to buy someone he has just met a drink as he tells terrible jokes. He feels the most alive when other people around him laugh at something he has done or said. He tries see the best in someone and is fanatically loyal to those he calls his friends, and expects the same dedication from them in return.

<br><br>Askier will be the first to admit he relies a great deal on luck and refuses to think himself as an intellectual since he has trouble containing his volcanic temper, which is easily set off. However, for all his apparent absent-mindedness, he is a reasonably intelligent being, often able to win word games and riddles quickly and can construct explosive devices with relative ease and knows a lot about them.

<br><br>Askier views the world as one giant experience waiting to happen and that gods, spirits, and mortal races are all subject to no greater end than what they try to achieve for themselves. He believes that everyone acts for reasons that are logical to themselves, and, as such, calling someone good or evil is pointless in Askier's mind. He sees all things as equal and would gladly help out a stranger. But, because there are those that would harm what Askier chooses to care about, he finds no qualms in killing, viewing it as a normal part of being alive and that the act of killing isn't to be viewed as vile, but that the intentions behind the act certainly can.
</p>

<p style="line-height: 170%; margin: 10px 0 10px 0; text-indent: 20px;">
Askier fights with his fists and feet, preferring the intimate feeling of his opponent's body against his knuckles. As of late, he has crafted a book made of metal and has been learning to use the blunt instrument as a weapon as sort of tribute to the book that damaged his eye. He aims to become the best melee, book welding fighter Eorzea has ever seen, even if people laugh at him for it. Askier has also been trying to learn magic but, thus far, has been unable to channel the required energy due to his Garlean ancestry.

====<div style="font-family: segoe ui semibold;font-size: 9pt; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 2pt; border-top: 1px solid black;">Family</div>====

<div style="font-family: cambria, arial, verdana; font-size: 11pt;">
<div style="font-family: cambria, arial, verdana; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0 0 15px 0;">''Father''</div>

*''Ven'li Mergrey'' - Deceased. Askier's father was a soldier for the Garlean Empire whose illustrious job was to wrangle up chocobos. His father was also a drunk and was killed by a chocobo stampede when Askier was six.

<div style="font-family: cambria, arial, verdana; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0 0 15px 0;">''Mother''</div>

*''Unknown'' - All Askier knows about his mother is that she gave an infant Askier to his father and then never came back into his life after she left.

<div style="font-family: cambria, arial, verdana; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0 0 15px 0;">''Siblings''</div>

*''[[Saravena Ancariis]]'' - Askier's younger sister. They share the same father but a different mother. She is an energetic and kind individual and Askier is incredibly loyal to her. However, for nearly two years, she has been locked in a cell, used as leverage by Askier's Garlean superiors to "encourage" him to build his magictek bomb and destroy Ul'dah.

*''[[Jin'li Epinoch]]'' Adin and Rema's slave and prize operative. The kit suffers from numerous disease and is very sickly, but is a lethal shot with a gunblade. It was Jin'li who watched over Askier's sister for two years and helped Askier ship in his needed magitek parts. Askier hates the male with a burning passion and wishes to kill Jin'li should they ever meet again, especially since learning that Jin'li survived the attack in Ul'dah that kill Adin and hacked off Rema's head. He is Askier's half-brother through their mother but neither knows it, despite the similar facial features they have.

</div>

====<div style="font-family: segoe ui semibold;font-size: 9pt; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 2pt; border-top: 1px solid black;">Friends</div>====

<div style="font-family: cambria, arial, verdana; font-size: 11pt;">

*''[[I'khalo Belho]]'' - A small, young miqo'te woman. Askier first met her when the young bard was trying to write a song. Needing a muse, Askier acted as one for her. Since then, Askier has taken an older brotherly stance towards her, viewing her as a second sister. She is naive, headstrong, and playful and reminds Askier of himself and his sister when they were young. He is fiercely protective of her but has become distant as of late. I'halo shunned Askier after she learned of his Garlean roots and her reaction still stings when he thinks about it, especially since he tried to give up booze for her.

*''[[Kahn'a Od'hilkas]]'' - A member of the Red Wings and, in Askier's mind, a male with a mythical knight quality. More so then even Erik, Kahn'a proved during "Saga of the Wind Swept Sands" to be Askier's greatest challenge, something he had never expected. Unlike Erik, who Askier was able to influence with thoughts of games and rules, Kahn'a stands resilient to Askier's tact. Dogmatic, loyal, headstrong and blunt, Kahn'a repeatedly disrupted Askier's plans; not through sheer brilliance but by simple perseverance. But any spiteful feelings for Kahn'a have evaporated. Askier feels a deep connection to Kahn'a since the male not only saved his sister, but was willing to put his life and his reputation on the line by helping Askier fake his own death by acting as Askier's killer. Askier wishes to pay his debt to Kahn'a above all the rest because he feels as if he owes Kahn'a the most for all the hardship he put him through, and because he desires to be around him.

*''[[Osric Melkire]]'' - A Flame Sergeant midlander Hyur. At one point in time, Askier though the man was beneath thinking about, having broken Osric's knee and finding his fighting to be sub-par. However, that all changed the day Osric returned Saravena to him. Over time, Askier has come to see that it is Osric is far more influential than his rank would lead one to believe. Osric planned out how to fake Askier's death and save those Kahn'a cares for the most, and, by doing so, has forever made Askier in the hyur's debt whether he wishes it or not.

*''[[Kanaria Galanodel]]'' - A woman who has truly came out of nowhere only to play a large role in Askier's time in Ul'dah. Askier first met her briefly when his Free Company superior, S'honji, was scolding Askier for fighting in public. Askier was polite but left quickly once S'honji was distracted with her. However, Askier encountered her again, discovering she was both easy to talk and dignified, a combination of traits he rarely found together. Askier managed to convince her to help him under the false pretense of being a merchant in need of armed escorts. However, Kanaria, Askier discovered, is an incredibly loyal person, eager to help Askier even after she learned of his true motives, desiring only to help him get his sister back. Since his trial and the freeing of his sister, the woman's honesty and incredible eagerness has Askier often turning to her when he feels confused and is in need of guidance, acting a sort of shrink for the emotionally volatile miqo'te. Since his suffering on the boat, she has been assisting him with his mental recovery .

*''[[Grieving Hound]]'' - Askier's closet friend. She is reserved, tall, and bluntly honest to a fault. The two first met when they both applied for the Harbingers of Dawn Free Company on the same day. They decided to patrol the roads near Limsa Lominsa together and keep them safe, destroying several gnoll war parties. There was an instant connection between them and they often drank together, laughing and recalling their adventures. Hound tolerates Askier's excessive drinking and childish antics well, often simply shaking her head and laughing. Askier feels completely relaxed around her, almost too much so. Hound, slowly grew tired of the politics of the Free Company, and left for the mountains. Askier, alone and missing his friend, purchased his now trademark coat and plunged into the swirling snows to find her. There, Askier spent many nights trying to get Hound to come back. Their time in the mountains culminated with them joining a hunting party and killing a dragon. Once the beast was dead, Hound decided it was time to return to the south. Askier seized his chance and convinced Hound to help him destroy Ul'dah. Hound, however, had no plans to do so and saved Siha from Askier's kidnapping attempt and fought against him. Hound revealed she did it to save him and their friendship has mended.

*''[[Raven Gorehand]]'' - A tall,female summoner with a powerful affinity for magic and a friend of both Hound and Askier. Raven and Askier were simple aquaintances for a long time until he needed help. Raven surprised him with her eagerness to help him, participating in several attempts on Kahn'a's life. Her ability to slip from reserved woman to wicked fiend with ease makes her a terrific ally for Askier and he values her and her powers immensely.

*''[[Itarliht Syhrkoensyn]]'' - A massive Roe who spoke up for Askier at his trial. After Askier faked his death, Itar hunted for Askier, seeking to offer his help, feeling they were kindred spirits. Once Askier returned to Ul'dah, Askier learned of the connection he two had through the marks they both bore. Askier once enjoyed the company of the blunt but incredibly intelligent Roe. Askier, once, fondly called him "Big Guy." Askier and Itar abducted Roen as part of plot to keep her safe, though Askier feels bad dragging his large friend into the middle of it, since Itar had been having reservations prior. However, Crim went, in Askier's mind, to far, forcing Roen to do things the miqo'te found despicable, borderline torture, and confronted his former friend. The two became livid and fought, culminating with Askier forced to surrender to save Roen's life, though not before he blew off his own arm. Askier despises the brute and wishes he could kill him with his bare hand.

*''[[Kraz'a Axrial]]'' - An armored juggernaut of a miqo'te whom Askier first met when Kraz'a defended him at his trial. Their friendship has been a peculiar one. Originally, curt and distant to Askier, their relationship changed when Askier took Kraz'a aside and spoke with him, managing to slip in past Kraz'a's emotional barriers and help the younger miqo'te make peace with an issue that had been plaguing Kraz'a . As a result of that conversation, Askier found himself liking the young miqo'te and adopted a friendly stance towards him. A stance that intensified after their most recent encounter. Since leaving Kraz'a, Askier is eager for future run in's with the red-haired miqo'te should he be fortunate enough to have them.

*''[[Siha Xinkei]]'' - Captain Mynhier's adopted sister. Siha is a very sweet Moonkeeper who Askier met for the first time at Erik's ball. Askier charmed the young woman easily, making her smile and asking her to dance as he pretended to be a simple merchant, realizing she was the perfect leverage again Erik, should something go wrong with his plan. His desire to abduct the young woman was, in fact, encouraged by Erik should Askier succeed in his plan, but her kidnapping went badly. Askier enjoys her company and her polite manners and since his Trial, the two of them have made up and Askier has offered to teach the young female how to fight wither her fists.

====<div style="font-family: segoe ui semibold;font-size: 9pt; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 2pt; border-top: 1px solid black;">Enemies</div>====

<div style="font-family: cambria, arial, verdana; font-size: 11pt;">

*''[[Adin Adonis]]'' Askier's Employer and former commanding officer inside the Imperial Military. Was killed in Ul'dah.

*''[[Jin'li Epinoch]]'' Adin and Rema's slave and prize operative. The kit suffers from numerous disease and is very sickly, but is a lethal shot with a gunblade. It was Jin'li who watched over Askier's sister for two years and helped Askier ship in his needed magitek parts. Askier hates the male with a burning passion and wishes to kill Jin'li should they ever meet again, especially since learning that Jin'li survived the attack in Ul'dah that kill Adin and hacked off Rema's head. He is Askier's half-brother through their mother but neither knows it, despite the similar facial features they have.

*''[[Delial Grimsong]]'' - A tall, secretive woman Askier first met in Uldah looking for recruits. Askier promised to use his network of spies to find Delial's brother in exchange for her help. Since then, she has become one of his most valued allies. While they don't agree on specific tactics, or Askier's wardrobe, the two share a similar world view and Askier finds her ruthlessness for the sake of family immensely refreshing. He enjoys speaking and joking with her though he knows that she finds him rather naive; but Askier is okay with that. Delial is not the kind of woman you show all your cards to right away. The two, however, had a falling out. Askier hired Crim to help kidnap Roen to keep her safe, despite Delial making the two males swear they would not ever touch Roen. As a result of Crim's torturing Askier and Roen, Delial was forced to kill Crim once the two captives were free. She believes that Askier betrayed her and he is to blame for Itar's death, despite the fact Askier was a victim of Itar's madness. The two agreed to met in Drybone, during which time Askier snapped when Delial put a knife to his throat, suffering from a massive PTSD episode and the miqo'te beat her violently before Saravena and Kahn'a had to drag him away. Askier now is convinced the woman is too dangerous to be left walking free and wishes to either patch things up with his former friend, whom he pities for having no one to call friend, or to just kill her and end the problem.

====<div style="font-family: segoe ui semibold;font-size: 9pt; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 2pt; border-top: 1px solid black;">Others</div>====

<div style="font-family: cambria, arial, verdana; font-size: 11pt;">

*''[[Drumstick]]'' - A young chocobo Askier purchased when he and his sister first fled the Empire. The mount has been with Askier through thick and thin and has saved Askier's life on several occasions. Askier cares a lot for the bird and would be devastated if anything happened to him, despite the fact Askier named the bird 'Drumstick' to remind him which part to eat first if the miqo'te were ever starving.

*''[[Sizha'to Chalahko]]'' - A male Keeper whom Askier isn't exactly sure what to make of their acquaintanceship. The two keepers share deep feelings for the same miqo'te, though it was Askier who backed off, unwilling to destroy an already established relationship once he learned of it's existence. He has apologized to Sizha'to, feeling both regret and pangs of jealousy over the ordeal and makes an effort to be as civil as possible whenever they cross paths.

*''[[Roen Deneith]]'' - A woman whom Askier knew very little about. He encountered her once while acting as security for Delial at a meeting and Roen made a negative impression on him then. Askier was planning on not meeting her ever again if he could help it. Problem was, he couldn't help it. He was hired to kidnap Roen to keep her safe as part of plot concocted by one of her friends. Askier agreed but his hired help, Itar, went crazy, taking Roen and Askier and torturing them. The two were freed and Itar slain but not before permanent damage to them both were done. Askier respects the woman and intends to one day make things right with Roen, whom he has not seen since her brother took her away.

*''[[Erik Mynhier]]'' - The Red Wings Unit Captain. Askier first approached him planning on toying with him and setting up a game of cat and mouse between the two. He had heard rumors of Erik's delight of challenges and hoped that by setting up a system of rules with the man, his plot would succeed with ease since he viewed Erik's network of agents as the only true threat to his operation. However, Askier discovered he and Erik were kindred spirits and, to his own surprise, found himself liking the man, who even honestly said, they could have been friends if it hadn't been for Askier's desire to destroy Ul'dah. The man has been missing for some time now and Askier is anxious for the man's return, wanting to apologize and thnak the hyur for everything his subordinates did for him.

<p style="line-height: 170%; margin: 10px 0 10px 0; text-indent: 20px;">
Askier was born in the Garlean Empire to Ven'li and a female he knows nothing about. His mother stuck around long enough to birth him and recover before leaving Askier with his father. Ven'li was stationed in an open plan and was responsible for taming chocobos. Ven'li was a distant father and Askier only remembers him from his smell of booze. Askier's sister, Saravena, was born five years after he was to another female. Askier's father was killed when Askier was six. Askier was sent to live with his father's brother, who was a woodcutter near a river.

<p style="line-height: 170%; margin: 10px 0 10px 0; text-indent: 20px;">
For the next 10 years, Askier and Saravena lived relatively uneventful lives. They helped their uncle deforest large swathes of the land to send the lumber down river for the Garlean war machine and learned simple schooling from traveling scholars.
<br>This simple life was violently interrupted when a group of anti-imperial soldiers assaulted the camp and burned many of the workes and the woods in an attempt to hurt the lumber supply to the Garlean military. Askier and Saravena escaped but their uncle was lost in the flames.
<br>Lost, the pair eventually reached a city. There starving, and forced with some unpleasant options, Askier enlisted to serve the army to earn money for his little sister to eat.

<p style="line-height: 170%; margin: 10px 0 10px 0; text-indent: 20px;">
Askier would spend the next four years being bounced around from one tour of duty to the next. During that time, he took to learning about magitek and started messing around with spare parts he stole. He discovered he was rather good with making random parts work together and his tinkering eventually caught the eye of an officer in the engineering branch. The officer had Askier transferred to his unit and Askier quickly excelled in his new job, causing a good amount of interest amongst the military brass when it came to new explosive devices. One such device of Askier's was loaded aboard a Garlean airship and was planned on being us the day of the Calamity, destroying his device before it could be detonated.

At seeing the immense power of the primal that day, Askier deserted his post, concerned only with keeping his sister safe. He returned home and fled with her south till they came to Eorzea, where they lived as traveling mercenaries for three years.

<p style="line-height: 170%; margin: 10px 0 10px 0; text-indent: 20px;">
Life as a freelance mercenary was good for Askier and Saravena. They travelled and used their coin to live well. Askier began drinking more and more heavily during this time, much to the concern of his sister, who was unable to stop him. Askier used the money he made to keep his sister well taken care off as he spent the left over research what few books he could afford, trying to better himself.

Askier also tried to put his past behind him, and, while he still continued to study bomb making with the few books he could find written about magitek, it was simply for academic reasons.

He was enjoying his life and considered himself extremely lucky.

<p style="line-height: 170%; margin: 10px 0 10px 0; text-indent: 20px;">
But the good luck ran out. Askier was recognized by a Garlean spy near Ul'dah and, after tailing Askier, came up with a plan. He forces Askier to build another bomb, in Ul'dah. Askier refused initially but the agent took Askier's sister hostage and made the demand: "destroy Ul'dah or she dies". Askier gave in immediately for his sister and has been working on building his bomb for over a year and a half, shipping in the needed parts slowly and piece by piece to avoid attention.

<p style="line-height: 170%; margin: 10px 0 10px 0; text-indent: 20px;">

((Askier's IC summary of Saga of the Wind Swept Sands"))<br><br>
To whomever finds this, This may be my last time sitting down to write, and I will be considering this as my last testament. The purpose of this testament is to chronicle the past two years, and, more specifically, the past few weeks that have led to me sitting in this cell.<br><br>

I begin when Saravena was taken, as that was the catalyst for all of this. Saravena and I had been wandering and working as mercenaries for the three years after my desertion from the Empire following the calamity.
It was a good life. However, my drunkenness proved our undoing. Like my father, the drink is my vice and I was drunk and loud too often back then. A servant of my former captain during my years in service to the Empire, hence forth referred to as “my employer”, recognized me. I do not know how long they followed after us, or planned, but they struck without warning. Saravena found a knife to her throat and I with a choice many say should have been harder to make than I found it to be. I agreed to save Saravena’s life by destroying Ul’dah with a bomb of my own creation.<br><br>

For the next two years, I moved in secret, slowing shipping in my needed parts a few at a time to keep myself from drawing unwanted attention to myself. I joined the Harbingers of Dawn during this time, hoping to find companionship to distract my mind from what I was doing. Although I found most inside the Free Company to be as full of schemes as I, I did find a few genuine companions, though only one I felt comfortable telling everything to, which I did. Hound, I know you cannot read and I apologize for lying to you about me not being able to do so for so long, but if this should ever be read aloud to you, know you are more than a friend, you are family.<br><br>

Hound hinted I should stop and try to find another way, but I dismissed her. What could the two of us do against “my employers” shadows? I was afraid and continued on, though I regret now not heeding her.<br><br>

I was allowed to see my sister during these two years on rare occasions. Always at a location “my employer’s” slave, Jin’li, picked, and only for a few moments. I began to grow impatient, wanting her back.I started making ripples in my haste.
Ripples Erik Mynhier began to detect. I realized this and grew angry. I was too close. So I made a move that, in hindsight, saved both Saravena and all of Ul’dah: I confronted Erik.<br><br>

Erik, should you see this, know that I have always judged a leader by how his enemies view him and his men revere him. 'A friend to all' is the title I bestow upon you. I came to you, trying to trick you into playing this game by my rules, to bend you to my will. But even then you showed me respect as I revealed half-truths to you. I should have realized then, when you let me walk away, that you had already won. You had already placed your prize pieces upon the board,<br><br>

Kahn'a Od'hilkas and Osric Melkire.<br><br>

Erik, I don’t know how many moves ahead of me you were or how you intercepted Jin’li’s letter to me, but you played it all so well. There I stood, in Vesper Bay, waiting for the shipping manifest from Jin’li that would reveal where I was to find the final three parts for my device. I recall how my allies and Delial Grimsong… I do not call Delial an ally because she is something more, a schemer as great as myself and as close a friend as one can have with such a dangerous creature. She was using me to help her own ends as much as she aided me out of a kindred bond to save our siblings. I have digressed.<br><br>

There we stood, with the manifest in hand, my eyes reading over it greedily, when Kahn’a and his allies attacked us. Looking back, I realize just how far Kahn’a has come since Vesper Bay. Back then he was just a scared kit while now he… during Vesper Bay, he was no real threat. The only reason I lost the manifest was a result of the hyur the woman, Daphine, smashing my eye with her book and Osric attacking my flank while I recoiled in pain. Osric certainly would have captured me and ended it all then and there had my chocobo, Drumstick, not come to my aid.<br><br>

After Vesper Bay, I nursed my wounds in secret. Delial did what she could for me, but my eye never healed properly, and even now, bright light causes it to weep blood profusely. I wanted revenge and so I hunted for it during the week until my last three parts would arrive. I found Kahn’a in an alley and thrashed him violently, hoping that my assault would stop Kahn’a for good. Instead, my violence caught the eye of my Harbinger of Dawn superior, S’honji, and his friend at the time, Kanaria Galanodel. Eager for more guards to help me recover my packages, I lied to them both, pleading for help recovering my shipments for “my employer” saying they were harmless artifacts. S’honji immediately mistrusted me, but Kanaria seemed to be eager to help a man in need. <br><br>

My allies gathered at the “Coffin and Coffer”, being Delial,Hound, Siha, Kanaria, and S’honji. Everything should have been easy. We split into two parties. Delial, Kanaria and Shonji went to The Silver Bazaar. Hound, Siha, and I went to Crescent Cove.<br><br>

But Hound betrayed me.<br><br>

Just as I had recovered my second part and planned to kidnap Siha, Kahn’a arrived. Hound then stepped forward and raised her axe against me. Outnumbered four-to-one, I was forced to swim for it with my part. Wet and half-naked, I rendezvoused back in Ul’dah with Delial’s team where we secured the two parts we had recovered and then proceeded to location number three, the graveyard near Camp Drybone. Osric,Hound, Siha, Kah’na, Daphine, and Jana were waiting for us. After a standoff, we came to blows, though it was my party that was forced to yield, all of us bloodied and beaten, save Kanaria, who proved to be a more dangerous combatant then I had ever expected,certainly more than S’honji, who fell to Osric’s blows swiftly. I broke Osric’s knee before fleeing on Drumstick once more, a battered Delial thrown unceremoniously across my saddle.
<br><br>

That night, I finished the bomb, even without the third part. As my lethal creation hummed intolife and the sinister glow burned into my eye, I will admit I felt pride at all I had accomplished. I had almost, single-handedly, done the impossible, something the might of the entire Imperial military had not been able to do: I had Ul’dah by the throat. In that moment, I was akin to Bahamut, a force of sheer destruction unable to be stopped. The timer on my bomb was ticking and would detonate in one week.<br><br>

Then my heart sank and my stomach twisted into knots as I realized, without a shred of doubt, I didn’t want to go through with my plan. The reality of what setting the device off would do, and what would happen to Saravena if I didn't let it go off, slammed into me. Depressed and confused, I started to drown my emotions in alcohol.<br><br>

For the next week, a war raged inside my mind, part of me playing the demon. I encountered Kahn’ain the streets of Ul’dah and my companion Raven and I tormented him, trying to break him of his will to fight. But I saw in his eyes he wasn’t afraid anymore. He was fighting back and I felt fear. I began to grow confused, and in my confusion, I acted, proceeding in an action that had repercussions in my mind and added fuel to my doubt. I might have even killed Kahn’a at that moment had Kanaria not intervened. I left, my mind wrapped in the fog of doubt and no amount of fiery liquor could burn the fog away.<br><br>

My conscious rose up in me, begging me to seek help. But from who? Hound had betrayed me and it would be some time till we mended our relationship. I thought I was alone again.<br><br>

I wasn’t. I know now that Kanaria was working with Kahn’a, but she found me sitting on some crates and managed to wring the truth of my goals and who I was from my lips without a bit of force. I was so desperate and wracked by guilt I needed to confess. Kanaria’s response amazed me. She did not shun me, but offered to help me to the bitter end. I left her, still confused but with the realization I wasn’t alone. I wanted to see Kanaria again, to talk to someone. She used this desire to break down my defenses and convinced me to meet with Kahn’a and Osric. During the meeting, I gave them a copy of the book I had written on explosive magitek as a token of good will. In return, Osric offered a plan:
<br><br>

Ask "my employer” to let me see my sister one last time, but instead of me going, he would and free my sister while I waited with my bomb, swearing to disarm it the moment Saravena was safe.<br><br>

That night, after the meeting, as I drank by the light of my bomb, I smiled. I remember it. For the first time in a long time, I saw a light at the end of this tunnel and it wasn’t a light of destruction.<br><br>

But the truce nearly failed.<br><br>

I had gathered my allies and Delial, still not entirely trusting Kahn’a and Osric. Kahn’a arrived with his troops and my mind immediately took it as betrayal but I waited. I was willing to humor them as they looked on at my bomb with terror. But then I heard Kahn’a say the words that broke my will that night. He looked straight at me and uttered: “Saravena is dead, Askier.”<br><br>

My mind snapped, I started dancing around, cackling, wanting to kill everyone and everything, wanting to set off the bomb, and I know I would have, had Kanaria not held me back. My allies and Delial refused to fight, they heard Kahn’a as he tried to explain Saravena was, in fact, still alive; that Osric had saved her after all. In my grief I failed to hear, and I was shot by Kahn’a’s arrow. After that, I remember very little as Daphine drugged me. But I know the bomb was disarmed and I was taken to this cell, where I have resided this past week, thinking.<br><br>

I was visited later by Kanaria and Kahn’a, who brought in an unconscious Saravena and placed her in my arms. Osric had kept up his end of the bargain, though they had almost lost her. I confess I wept for hours, both relieved that she was safe again after two years and ashamed for nearly breaking my end of the truce.<br><br>

But Jin’li isn’t done with me it seems. He still lives and conspires for “my employer.” If I ever see that runt again, I’ll sink my teeth into his throat and tear it out. Kahn’a and Osric tell me that Kahn’a is being forced to play a game for“my employer” much like the one I was forced to, though this time, it is not Ul’dah he wants destroyed, it is me for failing him and letting Osric make a fool out of him. <br><br>

I feel no hatred for Osric, Kanaria, or Kahn’a. Rather I view them as family. They simply tried to keep what they cared for safe and they were willing to help out a total stranger and his sister while doing so. How could I ever judge someone for that? Kahn’a especially has gone from my greatest foe to something I find myself surprised by. Raven, Kanaria, Osric, Hound, Kahn’a, Vali,even you Delial, I owe you all a debt I can never repay but will try.<br><br>

I have one last scheme to play. One, that if all goes well, will free me forever from this madman, though the price will by high for some near to me, but they have agreed and once again I am left in awe of their selflessness. I will stand trial soon and accept my punishment, be it acceptable to me. S’honji plans to convict me and execute me, but I have no plan on dying. Not until I return “my employer” for his years of kindness.<br><br>

In conclusion, I did not write this for pity or forgiveness. In truth, part of me will always be proud of what I have accomplished, though I am grateful that I never had to set off my device. No, I write this so that, no matter how history remembers me, there will always be a record from my own pen that proves that I am nothing more than a simple Garlean miqot’e, whom was fallible, foolish, and devoted to those he loves.<br><br>

Askier Mergrey, <br><br>
</p>

<div style="font-family: cambria, arial, verdana; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0 0 15px 0;">''Trial by Gunblade Fire''</div>

<p style="line-height: 170%; margin: 10px 0 10px 0; text-indent: 20px;">
Askier went to trial for his crimes during the "Saga of the Wind Swept" but he went to live and be free, not suffer S'honji's punishment.

Kahn'a was confronted by Jin'li and forced to play the very game Askier had been. This time, however, Askier was the target, and those Kahn'a cared about most were the hostages. Kahn'a came to Osric and Kanaria and told them, and the three worked out a way to trick Jin'li and free Askier from Jin'li's master. They would fake Askier's death in front of everyone. Askier was asked to trust Kahn'a to shoot at hi with the gunblade Jin'li had given him. Askier, seeing the young male forced to make the same type of choice he was and realizing the risk Kahn'a was taking to spare his life, agreed without hesitation, having come to trust Kahn'a, Kanaria, and Osric completely. The only other person who was to know was Saravena. During the trial, Askier stood mostly silent, letting those who would speak for him do so. They added to the plan. Then Askier stepped forward, giving Kahn'a a shot he couldn't miss. The other male took it and hit the metal covering they had slipped under Askier's shirt. Askier flew backwards into Osric, who pinched a set of nerves, sending Askier into a state of near death. To add to the effect, Askier bit a whole in his tongue to let blood ooze out. Osric rushed Askier away and revived him, though the bruising from the shot forced Askier to limp. Osric escorted Askier to an airship and sent him to Limsa. Askier, in immense pain, passed out aboard the ship, a free man for the first time in years.

<p style="line-height: 170%; margin: 10px 0 10px 0; text-indent: 20px;">
Askier arrived in Limsa and kept a low profile. But Adin and Jin'li were no fools. They hunted Askier down and shot Askier off a cliff after tricking Osric into revealing Askier was alive. Askier fell from the cliff and saw the starry heavens and during that moment, a mark was burned onto the back of his neck before he slammed into the ocean and lost consciousness for several days as Osric's siblings saved him and took him to Lady Grace for healing. During that time, Osric, Kahn'a, and Kanaria hunted down Adin and Jin'li and killed them both. When Askier awoke, his ruined eye was fixed by Lady Grace's healer and his wounds as well. He rejoiced when he learned he was a truly free miqo'te. He returned to Ul'dah, where he encountered Adin's replacement, Rema, briefly as she told him she was calling off the attacks on Ul'dah for a time. Askier now calls Ul'dah his home and was looking to relax.
</p>

<div style="font-family: cambria, arial, verdana; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0 0 15px 0;">''Slipping into old ways''</div>
But that was not to last. Askier encountered the massive Roe Itarliht Syhrkoensyn, who mentioned the mark on Askier's neck and explained they were both part of a small collection of similar fellows with similar marks. Askier has agreed to help his new allies discover the purpose of the marks. But Itar was not done with Askier. Itar informed Askier there were several old allies of Askier's in need of aid and Askier offered to help without hesitation, even if doing so might reawaken his negative image amongst certain people.

Meanwhile, Askier was contacted to identify the explosive used on Lady Grace's ship. Askier agreed and determined the device but was accused of setting it himself and snapped angrily, viewing the cheap explosive beneath him. Askier has sworn to prove to Lady Grace how talented his skills are one way or the other.

<div style="font-family: cambria, arial, verdana; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0 0 15px 0;">''Time as a Terrible Kidnapper and Torture and Freedom''</div>
Askier worked odds jobs for awhile, growing bored and listless, wanting the action he had come to enjoy, almost crave like a drug, during the past five years. Osric kept telling him to stay out of trouble, but the problem was, Askier wanted trouble, wanted the trill of being at the edge. And Askier finally got his chance and he pounced on it.

Askier was approached by a member of the Brass Blades to abduct Roen Deneith and detain her long enough to draw out a wanted fugitive so the fugitive could be killed. Askier pretended to take the job for the massive amount of gil he was promised, but, in truth, Askier really just wanted the job to make him feel alive.

Askier had planned to take his time organizing and setting up a proper job, but while Askier was trying to recruit the first of his hired muscle, Itar, Roen walked up to them and the pair of males tricked her, hit her over the head with a shovel, drugged her, and rode north to Coerthas to hide.

Askier had planned on the kidnapping being a rather pleasant affair, even going so far as to purchase whiskey and books for Roen to pass the time. But Crim had other ideas. The Roe proved merciless in his actions, forcing Roen to engage in acts that borderlined on torture, acts that left Askier uncomfortable. Askier attempted to repair the damage done by Crim by offering aid to Roen's brother but Crim snapped and took to punishing Roen. Askier reached his limit, furious at the way Crim was treating the hyur female and threw a bottle at Crim's head. Crim turned on the miqo'te and the two males fought, parts of the house being blown to bits by explosives.

The fight ended with Crim, Roen, and Askier outside the house in the whirling snows, Crim pressing a sword to the female's throat, swearing to kill her if Askier did no drop his explosives. Askier had his mount, Drumstick, flee to act as message to anyone who would look for him before he took out a linkpearl from his ear and removed all but one explosive from his person. Askier then pulled the pin on the last explosive and blew his left arm off to the shoulder, doing so for several reasons. Crim was forced to abandon the building and took a wagon loaded with Askier and Roen south where they stole a boat.

The three sailed for a couple weeks, during that time Askier was violently tortured, an experience he will never forget. Askier and Roen were rescued and Crim slain during an exchange on the docks of Crescent Cove. Askier was healed over an extended period of time, though his mind is still suffering as he tries to come to terms with what happened to him.

<div style="font-family: cambria, arial, verdana; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0 0 15px 0;">''Joining the Red Wings''</div>

Following Askier's release, Kahn'a offered Askier a chance to keep himself busy by joining the Red Wings. Askier agreed to do so, so desperate to find a means of work to keep his brain off the memories of the boat.

'''Chief Sergeant Osric Melkire''' (born 11th Sun of the 3rd Astral Moon) is a Lominsan native who found his way to Ul'dah in search of refuge and employment. Driven from his home at the age of twenty, he stowed away on the first ferry to Vesper Bay and was immediately arrested upon arrival. His plea for asylum in exchange for lifetime enlistment with the Immortal Flames was granted; that he bore with him a letter of introduction from a former officer didn't hurt matters, either.

Five cycles later, Osric now views Ul'dah as his home and has pledged himself to the Jewel of the Desert.
