== Character ==

=== General ===
Ari is a complex one. Always seems to keep to herself. Yet tries to be social, even with the fear she lives with day after day. She can be seen most nights just chilling in middle of the Quicksands. ((WIP))

=== Appearance ===
Keeps herself clean. She is most times seen wearing a skirt or dress. She likes to look pretty, even though her confidence is not there. Her long jet black hair is pulled back into a tight pony tail. A light tint of midnight blue through the locks of hair. Her eyes are bright greenish blue. It is one feature she is complimented on all the time. She is a short one but they say TNT comes in small packages.

=== Behavior ===
Thought she is highly misunderstood, and can be calm and warm under the right circumstances.
She is prone to be more violent towards others because of her difficult past, and is often unpredictable with her moods.
This is Ari'za in a nut shell. It takes a stubborn person to break through that wall but once they do. They see a new side of her.

<hr>
 
Midori who oftens goes by Mi mi or Flower, was born and raised in Little Ala Mhigo. Midori is a cute little thing that often can make the tough people want to gush over her. Midori works at Nymeia's Web as a maid and helps out with whatever is needed. She spends majority of the time in Lavender beds, occasionally visits Ul'dah and Gridania when it is allowed.

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

'''Weight:''' 130 pounds

'''Complexion:''' Tanned

'''Hair:''' Pale Blonde

'''Eyes:''' Bright sky blue

<hr>
 
<center>''"Pe-personality?? O-oh uhm... we-well! I am ni-nice and ki-kind! I li-like to make people sm-smile!"'' - ''Mi mi''</center>
 
Midori has a very interesting personality, well... more like personalities.
 
''Flower (Mi mi)'' 
The default personality that most people will interact with. She is naive and innocent. She usually don't know any better but really tries her hard. She hates conflicts and would try to stop it, even if it means she has to use some violence to stop it.

 
''Aconite'' 
Aconite is cold yet easily angered personality. She is often triggered when Flower get angry enough or feels like her life is in danger. She is often called the 'Protector' personality because of this.

 
''Marigold'' 
Marigold is a personality developed after Aconite hit puberty. Unsure of how to deal with the hormonal feelings, Marigold was developed to deal with this. As a result of her training and her duty, she tends to love pain in an erotic way. She is usually triggered when Flower experiences too much pain.

 
''Nameless'' 
The original personality that Midori was born with. This personality is literally an empty shell. Nameless is impassive and empty. She is usually seen standing straight, speaking with blunt words and no extreme emotions in her eyes.

 
''Narcissus'' 
A personality that should be kept locked away deep inside of Midori. She is the personality born from Aconite's wrath. There is not much known about her.

== Character ==

=== General ===

'''Setoh Aliapoh''' is a wandering Moonkeeper who splits his time between Thanalan and the Black Shroud. He dislikes spending much time in any city-state, instead traveling in the pursuit of his interests. While Setoh could be seen as a largely selfish individual, he has a capacity for extreme acts of selflessness and loyalty to people he truly loves and cares for. Intelligent, skilled, and willing to do nearly anything for money, Setoh is the consummate professional villain.

'''Note: Setoh 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 ===

Tall (for a Miqo'te) and lean, with dark skin, dark hair and eyes that he frequently colors. He moves gracefully, with little wasted energy. He tends to dress plainly but well, in high quality clothing that leaves few impressions behind.

=== Behavior ===

Restless and easily bored, Setoh prefers to spend his time pursuing the whims of his curiosity. His zeal to learn has resulted in his situation improving from the days of his youth, as simple jobs for unskilled muscle gave way to more specialized contracts requiring his ''particular'' touch. Despite the pleasure he takes in his work, however, he has recently begun to chafe against the life of a contracted hireling, wishing to amass the sort of wealth his patrons exhibit.

== Combat ==

<blockquote>
"Ask the right questions. You wanna know how I beat 'em? The question isn't how'd I win. The question is, why'd they lose?"
</blockquote>

=== General ===

Setoh is highly skilled and versatile in both armed and unarmed combat, and delights in battle. While he is skilled with a bow, he prefers the pleasures of close combat. Setoh is also a skilled conjurer, adept at aethyric manipulation, and will use these abilities during combat. He is able to withstand excessive amounts of pain for extended amounts of time, particularly when properly motivated. He dislikes armor, and does not use it.

== Tendencies ==

<blockquote>
"What can you say about Setoh? He is a fully-embraced fiend."
</blockquote>

At first glance, Setoh is something of a paradox. He is intelligent and well educated, with a curious mind and a willingness to put great effort into learning. At the same time, he lives for the moment and will often abandon perfectly sound plans, spurred by brief moments of boredom.

=== Likes ===

::*Knowledge
::*Battle
::*Clever conversation
::*Powerful women

=== Dislikes ===

::*Boredom
::*Feeling powerless
::*Wanton destruction
::*Those who make claims above their station

=== Hobbies/Talents ===

::*Setoh is an avid reader and will happily spend days pouring over interesting books.
::*He is a gourmet and an excellent cook.

== Relationships ==

<blockquote>
"Now we just let them come to a simmering boil, then remove to a low flame."
</blockquote>

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1550-1572 Early life ===

Setoh was born Seri'to Viqqoh to the Strixclaw clan in the deep Shroud. A bright an inquisitive child, his first fifteen years saw Seri'to climbing (literally) all over the Strixclaw manor, frequently getting in trouble with the Matron of the clan. On his sixteenth birthday, the growing tug of the outside world drew him away from the opressive house and into the Shroud at large. A skilled Moonkeeper hunter could often find work at that time, especially if he was willing to overlook the details of the job, and Seri'to took to this life readily. Over time his willingness to do anything required, combined with his abilities, led him into darker and more lucrative work.

As the Garlean threat grew in the Shroud, the conjurers of Gridania began to accept large numbers of new pupils. Seeing the benefit of this, Seri'to studied with them for a number of years, developing a solid foundation of conjury which he used to compliment his existing skills.

=== 1572/0-Present ===

The Strixclaw clan was decimated during the Calamity, with their much reduced numbers retreating into the depths of the forest. At the same time, Seri'to began to make a name for himself in the underworld of Gridania and Ul'dah. An unexpected protective impulse caused him to change the name he used to Setoh Aliapoh, to prevent any enemies he made from tracing a line from him to the Strixclaws.

While he continues to work professionally for others, he has begun to dabble with the idea of buying and selling information and acquiring the sort of wealth that his patrons typically display. Only time will tell if his nature will allow him to focus on this for long.

== 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. 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. While he grew up in a traditional Coeurl Sunseeker sept, he has recently adopted his maternal grandmother's surname of Polaali. Very distinctly not a hero, he walks that grey area between mere decadence and villainy.

'''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. This wider understanding, paired with his natural charisma, led him to develop an organized crime cartel whose influence could be felt throughout Thanalan before his eventual retirement to the Shroud.

== 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."

=== Family ===

<blockquote>
"My parents are C'xin Nunh and C'issapa Oya. My father is very conservative, holding to the "eternal ways of of Coeurl Tribe". My mother... is something of a free spirit. They said that she has Keeper blood in her, which I suppose means that I have it as well. My own wandering feet I have certainly inherited from her. Other relatives? 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. Some I got along with very well, and we exchange letters to this day, though I have not seen any of my siblings since I left to Hunt the World, twelve years ago."
</blockquote>

::{{rel_greydot}} '''C'xin Nunh:''' C'kayah's father. C'xin is extremely conservative, and expects C'kayah to uphold the traditions of the tribe. Often distant with his children, C'xin nevertheless takes an active interest in their lives.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''C'issapa Oya:''' C'kayah's mother. C'issapa is an extremely free-spirited and free-thinking woman whose sharp canines and large eyes betray a mixed ancestry. C'issapa reveres Menphina, and it is from her that C'kayah developed his own devotion to the diety. C'kayah and C'issapa have always been extremely close.
::{{rel_greendot}}{{rel_greydot}} '''The rest:''' As is common with Seeker tribes, C'kayah has many brothers and sisters.

=== Other Relationships ===

<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>

::{{rel_blackheart}}{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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.
::{{rel_greydot}} '''[[Kahn'a Ohditra]]:''' C'kayah first encountered this Flame soldier when he worked to defeat the terrorist [[Askier Mergrey]]. Since then he has crossed paths with Ohditra on more than one occasion. His natural distrust of any in a military position is tempered with a grudging respect for the Flame Private's abilities.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[Kiht Jakkya]]:''' Former Vice Matriarch to the Morbolvine clan and associate of an underworld figure C'kayah has dealt with in the past. Their relationship has sometimes been rocky, but they have gradually developed an enduring respect for one another that proved to be the foundation of a solid friendship.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[Kytauna Dusksong]]:''' The Lady Dusk to him, he has developed a strange connection to this powerful Duskwight mage. While they are sometimes seen conferring together, the exact nature of their alliance remains a mystery. Those close to him recognize that he views his relationship with her as particularly important.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[L'kenthi Rarahn]]:''' A Sunseeker with a mysterious past who he was close to for a while. Their relationship was complex, with Kenthy's acidic nature hiding sincere feelings for her. For his part, C'kayah highly valued her judgement, and made her his lieutenant within Tylwyth Narah. Over time their relationship grew from friendship to partnership, finally blossoming into love. While those close to them have seen the deeper feelings that run between them, neither shared the details of their relationship with strangers. With Kenthy's return to her tribe and C'kayah's departure from Tylwyth Narah, it is clear that whatever they had is now past. For his part, C'kayah does not speak of it.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[L'lani Tyata]]:''' C'kayah recruited L'lani into Tylwyth Narah, and developed a strong friendship with the woman. She has since become both personally important to him as well as powerful within Tylwyth Narah. She currently leads the Guiding Hand Trade Concern.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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 until she finally disappeared into hiding.
::{{rel_greendot}}'''[[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.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[Mholii Polaali]]:''' Another cousin within the Morbolvine clan. When [[Miah Polaali]] was supposedly killed, young Mholii stepped in as Matriarch of the clan and came to C'kayah for help. He agreed to advise her as she developed her base of power.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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 a period of renewed hostility between them, finally resolved diplomatically into an uneasy, cool truce.
::{{rel_redheart}}{{rel_greendot}} '''[[Misae duskseeker|Misae Duskseeker]]:''' A recently freed slave that C'kayah met one evening in the Quicksand. They immediately struck up a charged conversation, and have frequently been seen in each other's company since then.
::{{rel_reddot}} '''[[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.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[Nero Lazarov]]:''' An Ul'dahn revolutionary turned Limsan pirate, Lazarov's selective targeting of Monetarist shipping made C'kayah's overland trade routes between Limsa and Ul'dah extremely profitable. While he initially contacted the pirate merely to encourage him to continue his activities, the recent ham-handed handling of a Sultansworn investigation into their connection by [[Coatleque Crofte]], along with an impassioned plea from his friend [[Roen Deneith]], has pushed C'kayah further into the camp of supporting the man until his eventual disappearance.
::{{rel_greendot}}{{rel_reddot}} '''[[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 that has only gradually cooled over time.
::{{rel_greendot}}{{rel_reddot}} '''[[R'vi Lyrre]]:''' This beautiful Seeker arrived at his doorstep one day, demonstrating both a cryptic interest in remaining close to him along with a disturbing familiarity with his business. Hewing to the principle of keeping enemies close, he hired her for a time as a maid. During this time they met in private many times with L'vi alternately claiming a desire to help him and hinting that she had been paid to destroy him. While their relationship has never been anything but rocky, they have over time become solid allies.
::{{rel_reddot}} '''[[Rinh'li Nelhah]]:''' Another Morbolvine and associate of Dennthota's, the hostility of this Keeper to C'kayah is immediately clear to any who see them together. For his part, C'kayah delights in baiting the stuttering, angry man.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[Roen Deneith]]:''' A disgraced former Sultansworn, C'kayah has known the Hyur for some time. Initially meeting her at the same time as [[Siha Xinkei]] when she was an apprentice, his respect for the woman has grown as he watched her struggle with the choices that first her heritage and later her heart presented her. When asked about her, he says that he owes her, yet he never says ''why''.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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. Over time they have grown more distant until, with Roswyn's disappearance, he has moved on.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[V'lanya Mei]]:''' A beautiful and witty Keeper that C'kayah struck up a conversation with. Her wit reminds him of Roswyn, though her nature is far darker. Despite the efforts of a number of people to keep them apart, they continued to spend time with one another, developing a strong and unconventional love. When her enemies closed in on her, he offered her sanctuary within Tylwyth Narah. This proved to be the beginning of the end for them, however. She since departed with no explanation and he has not seen her since.

== 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 escape

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 before shattering, the pair parting for reasons neither are willing to discuss. At the same time, his relationship with Kenthy grew more and more solid, and the pair are now quite devoted to each other.

As Tylwyth Narah grew, the ruins of his relationship with Natalie led to an uneasy alliance between him and a number of renegade Sultansworn. Tasked with helping their attempts at leashing [[Osric Melkire]] and the Red Wings, he was given an extremely valuable Syndicate charter to establish a business in Thanalan. This led to the creation of the Guiding Hand Trade Consortium, an import/export trade concern which deals primarily in compact valuables. As the GHTC grew in wealth, he seemingly abandoned his criminal pursuits in favor of legitimate business, something he loudly maintains is true. Despite this, Tylwyth Narah continued to grow with C'kayah and Kenthy at the head. With Kenthy's disappearance, he shouldered the full load of leading the organization, leading to a breakdown of Thompsonesque proportions. Fleeing Thanalan with his significant wealth, pursued by the plots of an enemy he took into his ranks, he has gone into hiding in the Shroud.

=== Retirement ===
With the passage of time, he has grown to realize that he has - at least for the present - given his enemies the slip. Leaving the shroud, he has retired to La Noscea to enjoy life.

== Character ==

=== General ===

'''Setoh Aliapoh''' is a wandering Moonkeeper who splits his time between Thanalan and the Black Shroud. He dislikes spending much time in any city-state, instead traveling in the pursuit of his interests. While Setoh could be seen as a largely selfish individual, he has a capacity for extreme acts of selflessness and loyalty to people he truly loves and cares for. Intelligent, skilled, and willing to do nearly anything for money, Setoh is the consummate professional villain.

'''Note: Setoh 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 ===

Tall (for a Miqo'te) and lean, with dark skin, dark hair and eyes that he frequently colors. He moves gracefully, with little wasted energy. He tends to dress plainly but well, in high quality clothing that leaves few impressions behind.

=== Behavior ===

Restless and easily bored, Setoh prefers to spend his time pursuing the whims of his curiosity. His zeal to learn has resulted in his situation improving from the days of his youth, as simple jobs for unskilled muscle gave way to more specialized contracts requiring his ''particular'' touch. Despite the pleasure he takes in his work, however, he has recently begun to chafe against the life of a contracted hireling, wishing to amass the sort of wealth his patrons exhibit.

== Combat ==

<blockquote>
"Ask the right questions. You wanna know how I beat 'em? The question isn't how'd I win. The question is, why'd they lose?"
</blockquote>

=== General ===

Setoh is highly skilled and versatile in both armed and unarmed combat, and delights in battle. While he is skilled with a bow, he prefers the pleasures of close combat. Setoh is also a skilled conjurer, adept at aethyric manipulation, and will use these abilities during combat. He is able to withstand excessive amounts of pain for extended amounts of time, particularly when properly motivated. He dislikes armor, and does not use it.

== Tendencies ==

<blockquote>
"What can you say about Setoh? He is a fully-embraced fiend."
</blockquote>

At first glance, Setoh is something of a paradox. He is intelligent and well educated, with a curious mind and a willingness to put great effort into learning. At the same time, he lives for the moment and will often abandon perfectly sound plans, spurred by brief moments of boredom.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1550-1572 Early life ===

Setoh was born Seri'to Viqqoh to the Strixclaw clan in the deep Shroud. A bright an inquisitive child, his first fifteen years saw Seri'to climbing (literally) all over the Strixclaw manor, frequently getting in trouble with the Matron of the clan. On his sixteenth birthday, the growing tug of the outside world drew him away from the opressive house and into the Shroud at large. A skilled Moonkeeper hunter could often find work at that time, especially if he was willing to overlook the details of the job, and Seri'to took to this life readily. Over time his willingness to do anything required, combined with his abilities, led him into darker and more lucrative work.

As the Garlean threat grew in the Shroud, the conjurers of Gridania began to accept large numbers of new pupils. Seeing the benefit of this, Seri'to studied with them for a number of years, developing a solid foundation of conjury which he used to compliment his existing skills.

=== 1572/0-Present ===

The Strixclaw clan was decimated during the Calamity, with their much reduced numbers retreating into the depths of the forest. At the same time, Seri'to began to make a name for himself in the underworld of Gridania and Ul'dah. An unexpected protective impulse caused him to change the name he used to Setoh Aliapoh, to prevent any enemies he made from tracing a line from him to the Strixclaws.

While he continues to work professionally for others, he has begun to dabble with the idea of buying and selling information and acquiring the sort of wealth that his patrons typically display. Only time will tell if his nature will allow him to focus on this for long.

=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
Venus Greyrider was a Keeper born into one of the Molkot clan, only for her to be abandoned by her parents at birth. The parents were on the run from Brass Blades since they were discovered using black magic. They left Venus with a hyuran mother, Arlene Greyrider. There, she was glamored into a highlander and raised to believe that she was an Ala Mhigan girl born and raised in Little Ala Mhigo. After a little alchemy accident, she was physically transformed back into a Keeper. Originally, she was working as a courtesan in Ul'dah where she quickly got pulled into crime world. She now works as interrogator/torturer and deals with information extraction along with alchemy. She comes across as an alluring aura and "has it all together" kind of attitude, deep down she is actually heartless and quite disturbed. However, she isn't as heartless once she does find someone she likes to toy with or someone that can even come close to taming her.

=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
Venus Greyrider was a Keeper born into one of the Molkot clan, only for her to be abandoned by her parents at birth. The parents were on the run from Brass Blades since they were discovered using black magic. They left Venus with a hyuran mother, Arlene Greyrider. There, she was glamored into a highlander and raised to believe that she was an Ala Mhigan girl born and raised in Little Ala Mhigo. After a little alchemy accident, she was physically transformed back into a Keeper. Originally, she was working as a courtesan in Ul'dah where she quickly got pulled into crime world. She now works as interrogator/torturer and deals with information extraction along with alchemy. She comes across as an alluring aura and "has it all together" kind of attitude, deep down she is actually heartless and quite disturbed. However, she isn't as heartless once she does find someone she likes to toy with or someone that can even come close to taming her.

== 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. 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. While he grew up in a traditional Coeurl Sunseeker sept, he has recently adopted his maternal grandmother's surname of Polaali. Very distinctly not a hero, he walks that grey area between mere decadence and villainy.

'''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. This wider understanding, paired with his natural charisma, led him to develop an organized crime cartel whose influence could be felt throughout Thanalan before his eventual retirement to the Shroud.

== 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.

=== Family ===

<blockquote>
"My parents are C'xin Nunh and C'issapa Oya. My father is very conservative, holding to the "eternal ways of of Coeurl Tribe". My mother... is something of a free spirit. They said that she has Keeper blood in her, which I suppose means that I have it as well. My own wandering feet I have certainly inherited from her. Other relatives? 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. Some I got along with very well, and we exchange letters to this day, though I have not seen any of my siblings since I left to Hunt the World, twelve years ago."
</blockquote>

::{{rel_greydot}} '''C'xin Nunh:''' C'kayah's father. C'xin is extremely conservative, and expects C'kayah to uphold the traditions of the tribe. Often distant with his children, C'xin nevertheless takes an active interest in their lives.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''C'issapa Oya:''' C'kayah's mother. C'issapa is an extremely free-spirited and free-thinking woman whose sharp canines and large eyes betray a mixed ancestry. C'issapa reveres Menphina, and it is from her that C'kayah developed his own devotion to the diety. C'kayah and C'issapa have always been extremely close.
::{{rel_greendot}}{{rel_greydot}} '''The rest:''' As is common with Seeker tribes, C'kayah has many brothers and sisters.

=== Other Relationships ===

<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>

::{{rel_blackheart}}{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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.
::{{rel_greydot}} '''[[Kahn'a Ohditra]]:''' C'kayah first encountered this Flame soldier when he worked to defeat the terrorist [[Askier Mergrey]]. Since then he has crossed paths with Ohditra on more than one occasion. His natural distrust of any in a military position is tempered with a grudging respect for the Flame Private's abilities.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[Kiht Jakkya]]:''' Former Vice Matriarch to the Morbolvine clan and associate of an underworld figure C'kayah has dealt with in the past. Their relationship has sometimes been rocky, but they have gradually developed an enduring respect for one another that proved to be the foundation of a solid friendship.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[Kytauna Dusksong]]:''' The Lady Dusk to him, he has developed a strange connection to this powerful Duskwight mage. While they are sometimes seen conferring together, the exact nature of their alliance remains a mystery. Those close to him recognize that he views his relationship with her as particularly important.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[L'kenthi Rarahn]]:''' A Sunseeker with a mysterious past who he was close to for a while. Their relationship was complex, with Kenthy's acidic nature hiding sincere feelings for her. For his part, C'kayah highly valued her judgement, and made her his lieutenant within Tylwyth Narah. Over time their relationship grew from friendship to partnership, finally blossoming into love. While those close to them have seen the deeper feelings that run between them, neither shared the details of their relationship with strangers. With Kenthy's return to her tribe and C'kayah's departure from Tylwyth Narah, it is clear that whatever they had is now past. For his part, C'kayah does not speak of it.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[L'lani Tyata]]:''' C'kayah recruited L'lani into Tylwyth Narah, and developed a strong friendship with the woman. She has since become both personally important to him as well as powerful within Tylwyth Narah. She currently leads the Guiding Hand Trade Concern.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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 until she finally disappeared into hiding.
::{{rel_greendot}}'''[[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.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[Mholii Polaali]]:''' Another cousin within the Morbolvine clan. When [[Miah Polaali]] was supposedly killed, young Mholii stepped in as Matriarch of the clan and came to C'kayah for help. He agreed to advise her as she developed her base of power.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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 a period of renewed hostility between them, finally resolved diplomatically into an uneasy, cool truce.
::{{rel_redheart}}{{rel_greendot}} '''[[Misae duskseeker|Misae Duskseeker]]:''' A recently freed slave that C'kayah met one evening in the Quicksand. They immediately struck up a charged conversation, and have frequently been seen in each other's company since then.
::{{rel_reddot}} '''[[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.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[Nero Lazarov]]:''' An Ul'dahn revolutionary turned Limsan pirate, Lazarov's selective targeting of Monetarist shipping made C'kayah's overland trade routes between Limsa and Ul'dah extremely profitable. While he initially contacted the pirate merely to encourage him to continue his activities, the recent ham-handed handling of a Sultansworn investigation into their connection by [[Coatleque Crofte]], along with an impassioned plea from his friend [[Roen Deneith]], has pushed C'kayah further into the camp of supporting the man until his eventual disappearance.
::{{rel_greendot}}{{rel_reddot}} '''[[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 that has only gradually cooled over time.
::{{rel_greendot}}{{rel_reddot}} '''[[R'vi Lyrre]]:''' This beautiful Seeker arrived at his doorstep one day, demonstrating both a cryptic interest in remaining close to him along with a disturbing familiarity with his business. Hewing to the principle of keeping enemies close, he hired her for a time as a maid. During this time they met in private many times with L'vi alternately claiming a desire to help him and hinting that she had been paid to destroy him. While their relationship has never been anything but rocky, they have over time become solid allies.
::{{rel_reddot}} '''[[Rinh'li Nelhah]]:''' Another Morbolvine and associate of Dennthota's, the hostility of this Keeper to C'kayah is immediately clear to any who see them together. For his part, C'kayah delights in baiting the stuttering, angry man.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[Roen Deneith]]:''' A disgraced former Sultansworn, C'kayah has known the Hyur for some time. Initially meeting her at the same time as [[Siha Xinkei]] when she was an apprentice, his respect for the woman has grown as he watched her struggle with the choices that first her heritage and later her heart presented her. When asked about her, he says that he owes her, yet he never says ''why''.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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. Over time they have grown more distant until, with Roswyn's disappearance, he has moved on.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[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.
::{{rel_greendot}} '''[[V'lanya Mei]]:''' A beautiful and witty Keeper that C'kayah struck up a conversation with. Her wit reminds him of Roswyn, though her nature is far darker. Despite the efforts of a number of people to keep them apart, they continued to spend time with one another, developing a strong and unconventional love. When her enemies closed in on her, he offered her sanctuary within Tylwyth Narah. This proved to be the beginning of the end for them, however. She since departed with no explanation and he has not seen her since.

== 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 escape

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 before shattering, the pair parting for reasons neither are willing to discuss. At the same time, his relationship with Kenthy grew more and more solid, and the pair are now quite devoted to each other.

As Tylwyth Narah grew, the ruins of his relationship with Natalie led to an uneasy alliance between him and a number of renegade Sultansworn. Tasked with helping their attempts at leashing [[Osric Melkire]] and the Red Wings, he was given an extremely valuable Syndicate charter to establish a business in Thanalan. This led to the creation of the Guiding Hand Trade Consortium, an import/export trade concern which deals primarily in compact valuables. As the GHTC grew in wealth, he seemingly abandoned his criminal pursuits in favor of legitimate business, something he loudly maintains is true. Despite this, Tylwyth Narah continued to grow with C'kayah and Kenthy at the head. With Kenthy's disappearance, he shouldered the full load of leading the organization, leading to a breakdown of Thompsonesque proportions. Fleeing Thanalan with his significant wealth, pursued by the plots of an enemy he took into his ranks, he has gone into hiding in the Shroud.

=== Retirement ===
With the passage of time, he has grown to realize that he has - at least for the present - given his enemies the slip. Leaving the shroud, he has retired to La Noscea to enjoy life.

== Character ==

=== General ===

'''Setoh Aliapoh''' is a wandering Moonkeeper who splits his time between Thanalan and the Black Shroud. He dislikes spending much time in any city-state, instead traveling in the pursuit of his interests. While Setoh could be seen as a largely selfish individual, he has a capacity for extreme acts of selflessness and loyalty to people he truly loves and cares for. Intelligent, skilled, and willing to do nearly anything for money, Setoh is the consummate professional villain.

'''Note: Setoh 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 ===

Tall (for a Miqo'te) and lean, with dark skin, dark hair and eyes that he frequently colors. He moves gracefully, with little wasted energy. He tends to dress plainly but well, in high quality clothing that leaves few impressions behind.

=== Behavior ===

Restless and easily bored, Setoh prefers to spend his time pursuing the whims of his curiosity. His zeal to learn has resulted in his situation improving from the days of his youth, as simple jobs for unskilled muscle gave way to more specialized contracts requiring his ''particular'' touch. Despite the pleasure he takes in his work, however, he has recently begun to chafe against the life of a contracted hireling, wishing to amass the sort of wealth his patrons exhibit.

== Combat ==

<blockquote>
"Ask the right questions. You wanna know how I beat 'em? The question isn't how'd I win. The question is, why'd they lose?"
</blockquote>

=== General ===

Setoh is highly skilled and versatile in both armed and unarmed combat, and delights in battle. While he is skilled with a bow, he prefers the pleasures of close combat. Setoh is also a skilled conjurer, adept at aethyric manipulation, and will use these abilities during combat. He is able to withstand excessive amounts of pain for extended amounts of time, particularly when properly motivated. He dislikes armor, and does not use it.

== Tendencies ==

<blockquote>
"What can you say about Setoh? He is a fully-embraced fiend."
</blockquote>

At first glance, Setoh is something of a paradox. He is intelligent and well educated, with a curious mind and a willingness to put great effort into learning. At the same time, he lives for the moment and will often abandon perfectly sound plans, spurred by brief moments of boredom.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1550-1572 Early life ===

Setoh was born Seri'to Viqqoh to the Strixclaw clan in the deep Shroud. A bright an inquisitive child, his first fifteen years saw Seri'to climbing (literally) all over the Strixclaw manor, frequently getting in trouble with the Matron of the clan. On his sixteenth birthday, the growing tug of the outside world drew him away from the opressive house and into the Shroud at large. A skilled Moonkeeper hunter could often find work at that time, especially if he was willing to overlook the details of the job, and Seri'to took to this life readily. Over time his willingness to do anything required, combined with his abilities, led him into darker and more lucrative work.

As the Garlean threat grew in the Shroud, the conjurers of Gridania began to accept large numbers of new pupils. Seeing the benefit of this, Seri'to studied with them for a number of years, developing a solid foundation of conjury which he used to compliment his existing skills.

=== 1572/0-Present ===

The Strixclaw clan was decimated during the Calamity, with their much reduced numbers retreating into the depths of the forest. At the same time, Seri'to began to make a name for himself in the underworld of Gridania and Ul'dah. An unexpected protective impulse caused him to change the name he used to Setoh Aliapoh, to prevent any enemies he made from tracing a line from him to the Strixclaws.

While he continues to work professionally for others, he has begun to dabble with the idea of buying and selling information and acquiring the sort of wealth that his patrons typically display. Only time will tell if his nature will allow him to focus on this for long.

=== General ===

'''Setoh Aliapoh''' is a wandering Moonkeeper who splits his time between Thanalan and the Black Shroud. He dislikes spending much time in any city-state, instead traveling in the pursuit of his interests. While Setoh could be seen as a largely selfish individual, he has a capacity for extreme acts of selflessness and loyalty to people he truly loves and cares for. Intelligent, skilled, and willing to do nearly anything for money, Setoh is the consummate professional villain.

=== Appearance ===

Tall (for a Miqo'te) and lean, with dark skin, dark hair and eyes that he frequently colors. He moves gracefully, with little wasted energy. He tends to dress plainly but well, in high quality clothing that leaves few impressions behind.

== Character ==

=== General ===

'''Setoh Aliapoh''' is a wandering Moonkeeper who splits his time between Thanalan and the Black Shroud. Very much a loner, he dislikes spending much time in any city-state. While Setoh could be seen as a largely selfish individual, he has a capacity for extreme acts of selflessness and loyalty to people he truly loves and cares for. Intelligent, skilled, and willing to do nearly anything for money, Setoh is the consummate professional villain.

'''Note: Setoh 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 ===

Tall (for a Miqo'te) and lean, with dark skin, dark hair and eyes that he frequently colors. He moves gracefully, with little wasted energy. He tends to dress plainly but well, in high quality clothing that leaves few impressions behind.

=== Behavior ===

A restless loner, Setoh prefers to spend his time pursuing the whims of his curiosity. His zeal to learn has resulted in his situation improving from the days of his youth, as simple jobs for unskilled muscle gave way to more specialized contracts requiring his ''particular'' touch. Despite the pleasure he takes in his work, however, he has recently begun to chafe against the life of a contracted hireling, wishing to amass the sort of wealth his patrons exhibit.

== Combat ==

<blockquote>
"Ask the right questions. You wanna know how I beat 'em? The question isn't how'd I win. The question is, why'd they lose?"
</blockquote>

=== General ===

Setoh is highly skilled and versatile in both armed and unarmed combat, and delights in battle. While he is skilled with a bow, he prefers the pleasures of close combat. Setoh is also a skilled conjurer, adept at aethyric manipulation, and will use these abilities during combat. He is able to withstand excessive amounts of pain for extended amounts of time, particularly when properly motivated. He dislikes armor, and does not use it.

== Tendencies ==

<blockquote>
"What can you say about Setoh? He is a fully-embraced fiend."
</blockquote>

At first glance, Setoh is something of a paradox. He is intelligent and well educated, with a curious mind and a willingness to put great effort into learning. At the same time, he lives for the moment and will often abandon perfectly sound plans, spurred by brief moments of boredom.

At first glance, Setoh is something of a paradox. He is intelligent and well educated, with a curious mind and a willingness to put great effort into learning. At the same time, he lives for the moment and will often abandon perfectly sound plans, spurred by brief moments of boredom.

== 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. 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. While he grew up in a traditional Coeurl Sunseeker sept, he has recently adopted his maternal grandmother's surname of Polaali. Very distinctly not a hero, he walks that grey area between mere decadence and villainy.

'''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. This wider understanding, paired with his natural charisma, led him to develop an organized crime cartel whose influence could be felt throughout Thanalan before his eventual retirement to the Shroud.

== 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."

=== Family ===

<blockquote>
"My parents are C'xin Nunh and C'issapa Oya. My father is very conservative, holding to the "eternal ways of of Coeurl Tribe". My mother... is something of a free spirit. They said that she has Keeper blood in her, which I suppose means that I have it as well. My own wandering feet I have certainly inherited from her. Other relatives? 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. Some I got along with very well, and we exchange letters to this day, though I have not seen any of my siblings since I left to Hunt the World, twelve years ago."
</blockquote>

::● '''C'xin Nunh:''' C'kayah's father. C'xin is extremely conservative, and expects C'kayah to uphold the traditions of the tribe. Often distant with his children, C'xin nevertheless takes an active interest in their lives.
::● '''C'issapa Oya:''' C'kayah's mother. C'issapa is an extremely free-spirited and free-thinking woman whose sharp canines and large eyes betray a mixed ancestry. C'issapa reveres Menphina, and it is from her that C'kayah developed his own devotion to the diety. C'kayah and C'issapa have always been extremely close.
::●● '''The rest:''' As is common with Seeker tribes, C'kayah has many brothers and sisters.

=== Other Relationships ===

<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>

::♥● '''[[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.
::● '''[[Kahn'a Ohditra]]:''' C'kayah first encountered this Flame soldier when he worked to defeat the terrorist [[Askier Mergrey]]. Since then he has crossed paths with Ohditra on more than one occasion. His natural distrust of any in a military position is tempered with a grudging respect for the Flame Private's abilities.
::● '''[[Kiht Jakkya]]:''' Former Vice Matriarch to the Morbolvine clan and associate of an underworld figure C'kayah has dealt with in the past. Their relationship has sometimes been rocky, but they have gradually developed an enduring respect for one another that proved to be the foundation of a solid friendship.
::● '''[[Kytauna Dusksong]]:''' The Lady Dusk to him, he has developed a strange connection to this powerful Duskwight mage. While they are sometimes seen conferring together, the exact nature of their alliance remains a mystery. Those close to him recognize that he views his relationship with her as particularly important.
::● '''[[L'kenthi Rarahn]]:''' A Sunseeker with a mysterious past who he was close to for a while. Their relationship was complex, with Kenthy's acidic nature hiding sincere feelings for her. For his part, C'kayah highly valued her judgement, and made her his lieutenant within Tylwyth Narah. Over time their relationship grew from friendship to partnership, finally blossoming into love. While those close to them have seen the deeper feelings that run between them, neither shared the details of their relationship with strangers. With Kenthy's return to her tribe and C'kayah's departure from Tylwyth Narah, it is clear that whatever they had is now past. For his part, C'kayah does not speak of it.
::● '''[[L'lani Tyata]]:''' C'kayah recruited L'lani into Tylwyth Narah, and developed a strong friendship with the woman. She has since become both personally important to him as well as powerful within Tylwyth Narah. She currently leads the Guiding Hand Trade Concern.
::● '''[[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 until she finally disappeared into hiding.
::●'''[[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.
::● '''[[Mholii Polaali]]:''' Another cousin within the Morbolvine clan. When [[Miah Polaali]] was supposedly killed, young Mholii stepped in as Matriarch of the clan and came to C'kayah for help. He agreed to advise her as she developed her base of power.
::● '''[[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 a period of renewed hostility between them, finally resolved diplomatically into an uneasy, cool truce.
::♥● '''[[Misae duskseeker|Misae Duskseeker]]:''' A recently freed slave that C'kayah met one evening in the Quicksand. They immediately struck up a charged conversation, and have frequently been seen in each other's company since then.
::● '''[[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.
::● '''[[Nero Lazarov]]:''' An Ul'dahn revolutionary turned Limsan pirate, Lazarov's selective targeting of Monetarist shipping made C'kayah's overland trade routes between Limsa and Ul'dah extremely profitable. While he initially contacted the pirate merely to encourage him to continue his activities, the recent ham-handed handling of a Sultansworn investigation into their connection by [[Coatleque Crofte]], along with an impassioned plea from his friend [[Roen Deneith]], has pushed C'kayah further into the camp of supporting the man until his eventual disappearance.
::●● '''[[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 that has only gradually cooled over time.
::●● '''[[R'vi Lyrre]]:''' This beautiful Seeker arrived at his doorstep one day, demonstrating both a cryptic interest in remaining close to him along with a disturbing familiarity with his business. Hewing to the principle of keeping enemies close, he hired her for a time as a maid. During this time they met in private many times with L'vi alternately claiming a desire to help him and hinting that she had been paid to destroy him. While their relationship has never been anything but rocky, they have over time become solid allies.
::● '''[[Rinh'li Nelhah]]:''' Another Morbolvine and associate of Dennthota's, the hostility of this Keeper to C'kayah is immediately clear to any who see them together. For his part, C'kayah delights in baiting the stuttering, angry man.
::● '''[[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.
::● '''[[Roen Deneith]]:''' A disgraced former Sultansworn, C'kayah has known the Hyur for some time. Initially meeting her at the same time as [[Siha Xinkei]] when she was an apprentice, his respect for the woman has grown as he watched her struggle with the choices that first her heritage and later her heart presented her. When asked about her, he says that he owes her, yet he never says ''why''.
::● '''[[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. Over time they have grown more distant until, with Roswyn's disappearance, he has moved on.
::● '''[[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.
::● '''[[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.
::● '''[[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.
::● '''[[V'lanya Mei]]:''' A beautiful and witty Keeper that C'kayah struck up a conversation with. Her wit reminds him of Roswyn, though her nature is far darker. Despite the efforts of a number of people to keep them apart, they continued to spend time with one another, developing a strong and unconventional love. When her enemies closed in on her, he offered her sanctuary within Tylwyth Narah. This proved to be the beginning of the end for them, however. She since departed with no explanation and he has not seen her since.

== 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 escape

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 before shattering, the pair parting for reasons neither are willing to discuss. At the same time, his relationship with Kenthy grew more and more solid, and the pair are now quite devoted to each other.

As Tylwyth Narah grew, the ruins of his relationship with Natalie led to an uneasy alliance between him and a number of renegade Sultansworn. Tasked with helping their attempts at leashing [[Osric Melkire]] and the Red Wings, he was given an extremely valuable Syndicate charter to establish a business in Thanalan. This led to the creation of the Guiding Hand Trade Consortium, an import/export trade concern which deals primarily in compact valuables. As the GHTC grew in wealth, he seemingly abandoned his criminal pursuits in favor of legitimate business, something he loudly maintains is true. Despite this, Tylwyth Narah continued to grow with C'kayah and Kenthy at the head. With Kenthy's disappearance, he shouldered the full load of leading the organization, leading to a breakdown of Thompsonesque proportions. Fleeing Thanalan with his significant wealth, pursued by the plots of an enemy he took into his ranks, he has gone into hiding in the Shroud.

=== Retirement ===
With the passage of time, he has grown to realize that he has - at least for the present - given his enemies the slip. Leaving the shroud, he has retired to La Noscea to enjoy life.

== 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. 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. While he grew up in a traditional Coeurl Sunseeker sept, he has recently adopted his maternal grandmother's surname of Polaali. Very distinctly not a hero, he walks that grey area between mere decadence and villainy.

'''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. This wider understanding, paired with his natural charisma, led him to develop an organized crime cartel whose influence could be felt throughout Thanalan before his eventual retirement to the Shroud.

== 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."
</blockquote>

=== Family ===

<blockquote>
"My parents are C'xin Nunh and C'issapa Oya. My father is very conservative, holding to the "eternal ways of of Coeurl Tribe". My mother... is something of a free spirit. They said that she has Keeper blood in her, which I suppose means that I have it as well. My own wandering feet I have certainly inherited from her. Other relatives? 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. Some I got along with very well, and we exchange letters to this day, though I have not seen any of my siblings since I left to Hunt the World, twelve years ago."
</blockquote>

::● '''C'xin Nunh:''' C'kayah's father. C'xin is extremely conservative, and expects C'kayah to uphold the traditions of the tribe. Often distant with his children, C'xin nevertheless takes an active interest in their lives.
::● '''C'issapa Oya:''' C'kayah's mother. C'issapa is an extremely free-spirited and free-thinking woman whose sharp canines and large eyes betray a mixed ancestry. C'issapa reveres Menphina, and it is from her that C'kayah developed his own devotion to the diety. C'kayah and C'issapa have always been extremely close.
::●● '''The rest:''' As is common with Seeker tribes, C'kayah has many brothers and sisters.

=== Other Relationships ===

<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>

::♥● '''[[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.
::● '''[[Kahn'a Ohditra]]:''' C'kayah first encountered this Flame soldier when he worked to defeat the terrorist [[Askier Mergrey]]. Since then he has crossed paths with Ohditra on more than one occasion. His natural distrust of any in a military position is tempered with a grudging respect for the Flame Private's abilities.
::● '''[[Kiht Jakkya]]:''' Former Vice Matriarch to the Morbolvine clan and associate of an underworld figure C'kayah has dealt with in the past. Their relationship has sometimes been rocky, but they have gradually developed an enduring respect for one another that proved to be the foundation of a solid friendship.
::● '''[[Kytauna Dusksong]]:''' The Lady Dusk to him, he has developed a strange connection to this powerful Duskwight mage. While they are sometimes seen conferring together, the exact nature of their alliance remains a mystery. Those close to him recognize that he views his relationship with her as particularly important.
::● '''[[L'kenthi Rarahn]]:''' A Sunseeker with a mysterious past who he was close to for a while. Their relationship was complex, with Kenthy's acidic nature hiding sincere feelings for her. For his part, C'kayah highly valued her judgement, and made her his lieutenant within Tylwyth Narah. Over time their relationship grew from friendship to partnership, finally blossoming into love. While those close to them have seen the deeper feelings that run between them, neither shared the details of their relationship with strangers. With Kenthy's return to her tribe and C'kayah's departure from Tylwyth Narah, it is clear that whatever they had is now past. For his part, C'kayah does not speak of it.
::● '''[[L'lani Tyata]]:''' C'kayah recruited L'lani into Tylwyth Narah, and developed a strong friendship with the woman. She has since become both personally important to him as well as powerful within Tylwyth Narah. She currently leads the Guiding Hand Trade Concern.
::● '''[[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 until she finally disappeared into hiding.
::●'''[[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.
::● '''[[Mholii Polaali]]:''' Another cousin within the Morbolvine clan. When [[Miah Polaali]] was supposedly killed, young Mholii stepped in as Matriarch of the clan and came to C'kayah for help. He agreed to advise her as she developed her base of power.
::● '''[[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 a period of renewed hostility between them, finally resolved diplomatically into an uneasy, cool truce.
::♥● '''[[Misae duskseeker|Misae Duskseeker]]:''' A recently freed slave that C'kayah met one evening in the Quicksand. They immediately struck up a charged conversation, and have frequently been seen in each other's company since then.
::● '''[[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.
::● '''[[Nero Lazarov]]:''' An Ul'dahn revolutionary turned Limsan pirate, Lazarov's selective targeting of Monetarist shipping made C'kayah's overland trade routes between Limsa and Ul'dah extremely profitable. While he initially contacted the pirate merely to encourage him to continue his activities, the recent ham-handed handling of a Sultansworn investigation into their connection by [[Coatleque Crofte]], along with an impassioned plea from his friend [[Roen Deneith]], has pushed C'kayah further into the camp of supporting the man until his eventual disappearance.
::●● '''[[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 that has only gradually cooled over time.
::●● '''[[R'vi Lyrre]]:''' This beautiful Seeker arrived at his doorstep one day, demonstrating both a cryptic interest in remaining close to him along with a disturbing familiarity with his business. Hewing to the principle of keeping enemies close, he hired her for a time as a maid. During this time they met in private many times with L'vi alternately claiming a desire to help him and hinting that she had been paid to destroy him. While their relationship has never been anything but rocky, they have over time become solid allies.
::● '''[[Rinh'li Nelhah]]:''' Another Morbolvine and associate of Dennthota's, the hostility of this Keeper to C'kayah is immediately clear to any who see them together. For his part, C'kayah delights in baiting the stuttering, angry man.
::● '''[[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.
::● '''[[Roen Deneith]]:''' A disgraced former Sultansworn, C'kayah has known the Hyur for some time. Initially meeting her at the same time as [[Siha Xinkei]] when she was an apprentice, his respect for the woman has grown as he watched her struggle with the choices that first her heritage and later her heart presented her. When asked about her, he says that he owes her, yet he never says ''why''.
::● '''[[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. Over time they have grown more distant until, with Roswyn's disappearance, he has moved on.
::● '''[[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.
::● '''[[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.
::● '''[[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.
::● '''[[V'lanya Mei]]:''' A beautiful and witty Keeper that C'kayah struck up a conversation with. Her wit reminds him of Roswyn, though her nature is far darker. Despite the efforts of a number of people to keep them apart, they continued to spend time with one another, developing a strong and unconventional love. When her enemies closed in on her, he offered her sanctuary within Tylwyth Narah. This proved to be the beginning of the end for them, however. She since departed with no explanation and he has not seen her since.

== 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 escape

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 before shattering, the pair parting for reasons neither are willing to discuss. At the same time, his relationship with Kenthy grew more and more solid, and the pair are now quite devoted to each other.

As Tylwyth Narah grew, the ruins of his relationship with Natalie led to an uneasy alliance between him and a number of renegade Sultansworn. Tasked with helping their attempts at leashing [[Osric Melkire]] and the Red Wings, he was given an extremely valuable Syndicate charter to establish a business in Thanalan. This led to the creation of the Guiding Hand Trade Consortium, an import/export trade concern which deals primarily in compact valuables. As the GHTC grew in wealth, he seemingly abandoned his criminal pursuits in favor of legitimate business, something he loudly maintains is true. Despite this, Tylwyth Narah continued to grow with C'kayah and Kenthy at the head. With Kenthy's disappearance, he shouldered the full load of leading the organization, leading to a breakdown of Thompsonesque proportions. Fleeing Thanalan with his significant wealth, pursued by the plots of an enemy he took into his ranks, he has gone into hiding in the Shroud.

=== Retirement ===
With the passage of time, he has grown to realize that he has - at least for the present - given his enemies the slip. Leaving the shroud, he has retired to La Noscea to enjoy life.

Venus Greyrider is an Ala Mhigan girl born and raised in Little Ala Mhigan in South Thanalan. She works as a courtesan within Ul'dah primarily, occasionally squeezing out information out of her clients in order to make more money. Venus is a heartless woman with an alluring aura. Perfect for no-strings attached fun if they're willing to pay of course and the Merciless Goddess doesn't come cheaply. However, she isn't as heartless once she does find someone she likes to toy with or someone that can even come close to taming her.

On the surface, she is friendly and non-hostile. She is quite intelligent seeing that she is an avid reader. Venus is the girl that you would notice in a crowded room even if she hasn't spoken.

=== '''♦ Childhood''' ===
<hr>
 
Unfortunately, Venus does not remember much of her childhood other than the familiar scent of food and cooking. As expected, her father is rarely in her life for she had nothing to do with combat. She was raised to be a wife material. Despite the fact that Venus says she is not the type to settle down. She does still display very wife-like habits.

=== '''♦ Teen/Young Adult''' ===
<hr>
 
When Venus finally hit the awkward age of puberty, her features that her Mother had been blessed with grew and she began to get the attention of some boys, maybe even suitors. She was unfortunately raped by a man who sought to own Venus as his own property. This quickly made her realize the world was not as it seemed. Around the time, her mother died. Having nothing left, she escaped to the sexual relationships. Even though it was forced, some part of her enjoyed the pleasure. Although, she quickly realized that even if she did enjoy the pleasure, she did not feel strong. So one day, she had just enough of being holed up in Little Ala Mhigan and began to travel the desert and live on the streets in Ul'dah for a while.
<div>
 
 



=== '''♦ Present''' ===
<hr>
 
Recently, Venus was lucky enough to spot some gil and get cleaned up and that was when she met C'kayah who showed her a new world and opened up a new path. She was hired by the Coven shortly after that where she would work as a proper courtesan and also work undercover for C'kayah.

=== '''♦ Childhood''' ===
<hr>
 
Unfortunately, Venus does not remember much of her childhood other than the familiar scent of food and cooking. As expected, her father is rarely in her life for she had nothing to do with combat. She was raised to be a wife material. Despite the fact that Venus says she is not the type to settle down. She does still display very wife-like habits.
<div>
 
 



=== '''♦ Teen/Young Adult''' ===
<hr>
 
When Venus finally hit the awkward age of puberty, her features that her Mother had been blessed with grew and she began to get the attention of some boys, maybe even suitors. She was unfortunately raped by a man who sought to own Venus as his own property. This quickly made her realize the world was not as it seemed. Around the time, her mother died. Having nothing left, she escaped to the sexual relationships. Even though it was forced, some part of her enjoyed the pleasure. Although, she quickly realized that even if she did enjoy the pleasure, she did not feel strong. So one day, she had just enough of being holed up in Little Ala Mhigan and began to travel the desert and live on the streets in Ul'dah for a while.
<div>
 
 



=== '''♦ Present''' ===
<hr>
 
Recently, Venus was lucky enough to spot some gil and get cleaned up and that was when she met C'kayah who showed her a new world and opened up a new path. She was hired by the Coven shortly after that where she would work as a proper courtesan and also work undercover for C'kayah.
